Syncing settings from CC to CC2014

I have just installed the new Photoshop CC 2014, and was hoping to get all my settings available, or at least, be able to sync them as the Sync Settings menu in Preferences lead me to think. It is however not the case, and it looks like I will have to re-set all my keyboard shortcuts and all my preferences once again. I have both CC and CC2014 running, and have tried a number of time to resync my settings (both are set to sync everything), but nothing seems to be happening, and my preferences, shortcuts, panels... are still showing as default, with no possibility to get my own settings. Am I doing something wrong? It would be great if someone could help with this and would save me a lot of time. Seems like I'll keep on using CC for now.

"CC 2014 is a new version of Photoshop, and when you first launch it, you are offered the opportunity to migrate your old settings if you wish."
That pretty much says it's automated. Were talking about Adobe settings & presets (this includes personal presets made with your software).
And syncing settings is not the same thing as migrating them from one version to another.
Where was this explained to your customers? (Without them having to search for it)
This isn't just an issue with PS it's pretty much all your CC Apps. Check your message boards.

Nothing happened when I first opened PS or Illustrator. I was not given the option to sync. Are you trying to tell me that my presets & settings (including Workspaces) from
the previous version will not work with this new version? Nonsense. So why didn't they sync?

Sync settings from CC to CC2014

I can´t get the sync to work.
I sync from CC, sync uploaded ok.
I try to sync from CC2014. Sync ok. I hit the «apply» button in the left lower window corner (weird placement), but nothing happens.
No keyboard commands, no workspaces.
I kinda liked my old settings...
Does any one have an idea?
Thanks

Hi,
When you do 'Sync Settings Now' in Flash CC 2014 for the First time, it will start the sync and at the end it will ask you Whether to Sync Cloud or Sync Local. If you choose to Sync Cloud it will carry forward all the settings saved in cloud for CC.
Thanks!

PS v14.2.1 - Can't sync settings from cloud

I recently had to do a clean install of Windows 7 (x64) and reinstall all of my CC apps. I'm using PS version 14.2.1 which is the same version I was using prior to the Windows install, and for which I had synced many settings). For some reason there's no option to obtain my sync info from the cloud, and I'll be damned if I have to go through the whole process again, as I recently had to do with Illustrator 17.1.0
Does anyone know how I get the settings from the cloud and into Photoshop?
Any help much appreciated.

For what it's worth I have access to a second computer with the correct sync settings (which I synced to the Cloud, so the Cloud should now have my desired sync settings), but PS on my first computer still refuses to show anyway to apply these settings.
I'm downloading the 2014 release now but it shouldn't really be necessary. This is so frustrating, especially when the Adobe PS sync help page only applies to the 2014 release (I can't find any sync help for the previous versions anymore).

How migrate all settings from CC to CC2014

In InDesign sync works, in Illustrator and Photoshop sync don't works.

Surely there must be a way to import my settings from CC to CC2014?

The sync does not work as advertised!
No matter how many times I sync settings with the old CC version of DW the new CC2014 doesn't pick up any of the changes.
What is going wrong?
I have read the other posts - most seem to be windows rather than Mac. So how to I export my old CC settings then import them onto CC 2014?
I could weep. This palaver has happened for years. What are we meant to do?

How do I change sync settings from apple tv to pc

Hi,
I am only seeing in in tunes Photos and summary and when right click on apple tv in devices, it just tells me 'turn off streaming'. So I try to set my settings from automatically to manual, but I do not know how.
Can anyone help me please.
Have a lot of kidsmovies purchased on Apple tv and cannot load them up on itunes.

This is done via the AppleTV. You setup it via AppleTV to just Stream.
So go to ATV and go to settings, computers and tell it to un-link with your computer. Then set it up as a Syncing computer there (note, only one computer can sync with the ATV at a time).
The computer in ATV should have like a Chain Link icon next to it if set for Syncing and not just streaming.
It will give you a 4 digit code to go enter into iTunes on your computer. Once done, then you can have full sync options.

Can I retrieve Sync settings from a lost device?

I was recently forced to format my PC due to a corrupted Windows install. I had Firefox Sync set up on this PC. I am now trying to figure out if there is any way to retrieve my Firefox settings on my new Windows install on this PC. I have the account details, logging in is not a problem, but the furthest I can get is a request for a recovery key and I can't find any way around this. Are there any solutions for me?

If that PC is the only device that you had connected to that Sync account. you can't connect to the Sync server to retrieve your data without that Recovery Key. Sorry there's no way around that, the Recovery Key is used to encrypt Sync data as it is uploaded to and downloaded from the Sync server. Without the correct "key" your data can't be decrypted.
If you have another device currently in use on that Sync account, you can "Pair" the other device with the new Windows and Firefox installation to recover your data on that PC. <br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/find-code-to-add-device-to-firefox-sync
''BTW, the upcoming Firefox 29.0 version (scheduled for release on Tues 04-29) has a new version of Sync which has a different method of doing that encryption without using a Recovery Key, but that won't help with data that was encrypted and uploaded under the current Sync version.''

Can't sync workspaces from CC to CC2014

I've tried multiple times, installing and uninstalling CC2014, but I just can't seem to get my workspaces to sync!
Both versions say they're synced, and indeed I'm greeted with a prompt to do so when I launch 2014 for the first time, but my old workspaces never appear in the Window > Workspace… menu.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Premier Pro CC 2014 not syncing settings

I just updated all my Adobe products from CC to CC 2014 and I cannot get any of my presets or settings to sync in Premier Pro. I have done Edit>USER>Sync settings from CC and then tried to sync again from CC 2014 and nothing.
This was a terrible idea Adobe BTW. Give us a whole new program?? Not good at all.
Anyways, please someone let me know how tho get all my presets back, this is ridiculous.

ok, so i went to the adobe site, to my online CC account, deleted my illustrator presets there, and have now been trying to sync from illustrator CC for two hours. i continually get the message "server is currently busy."

Sync settings failed

I opened Dreamweaver and got the message "sync settings failed"

I was having this same issue in Dreamweaver CC. "Sync Settings Now" was greyed-out in the Application Bar and in Preferences > Sync Settings. I did the following and it's working now:
- Opened Preferences > Sync Settings and checked "Enable Automatic Sync". Clicked Apply. The status under my Adobe ID changed to "Syncing...". I let it sit for about 10 minutes, but the status never changed. I closed/reopened Preferences and the sync status under my Adobe ID was showing a date and time of last sync, so it appeared to have synced, but "Sync Settings Now" was still greyed-out.
- Opened Help > Sign Out (Adobe ID) and signed out. Closed DW, relaunched, then had to sign-in again. "Sync Settings Now" still greyed-out.
- Opened Creative Cloud in web browser then clicked on account icon in upper right corner and selected "My Application Settings". I deleted my previous synced settings (I didn't have anything worth saving). Closed, then relaunched DW. "Sync Settings Now" still greyed-out.
- Rebooted computer. Launched DW. "Sync Settings Now" is back and working again. I opened Preferences > Sync Settings, disabled automatic sync, then clicked Sync Settings Now and it synced successfully (took about 15 seconds). I opened Sync Settings from the Application Bar and was able to sync from there as well. (NOTE: the sync settings button remains clickable regardless of how your automatic sync settings are set)
Good luck.

Where are iTunes sync settings stored?

After upgrading to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, the sychronization settings it iTunes appear to have been reset on my Macbook Pro. Another strange thing about this "reset" is the only settings affected were those for Music and Video.
I had updated several apps on the Macbook and needed to sync those apps to my iPhone, as well as a couple purchased on the iPhone since my last sync with the Mac. So ... I connected my iPhone to the Macbook, and after reconizing my phone the "Sync" button became activated. Since I was on the Summary page, I suspected no changes, as I had made none, and the Capacity bar was full to about .2GB Free, as expected. I pressed the "Sync" button as usual.
Somewhere between steps 1 and 2 (or during step 2), the Capacity bar dropped to Green, Yellow and a sliver of Orange with 23.2GB Free?!? Whassup?? As there was no method (I am aware of short of powering down the laptop) to pause/stop sync in progress, which I suspect would be dangerous anyway, I was forced to let it complete. After it finished. I checked my iPhone and the music and videos had all been removed. When I examined the sync settings in iTunes, I noticed the Sync Music and Sync Movies check boxes were selected. All other check boxes below them for Music: Playlists, Artists, Albums, Genre, Include music videos; and Movies: Movie Names, had mysteriously been unselected.
Since all my files are still in the proper folders on the Macbook Pro, and I use Time Machine, I am not concerned about file loss. What I am concerned with is how did this happen and where are these settings stored, so I do not have to go through ehem all and reselect each and every one to prevent this from recuring in the future. The technician and his manager could not find the location of these settings, as we tried replacing an older version from Time Machine to no avail.
Could anyone please tell me where the Synchronization settings in iTunes are stored, so I might be able to recover the proper file and not have to reselect each sub-selection to return my music and videos to the iPhone? I can Restore my iPhone from the backup just prior to the Sync; however, these does nothing to prevent the incorrect iTunes Sync settings from removing my music and video next time to transfer/sync upgraded apps.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. For more details see below regarding OS, iTunes and iPhone versions.
Sincerely,
Wynne Hunkler
OS:          10.7.5 (Lion)
iOS:          6.0 (10A403)
iTunes:     10.7 (21)

I think the device stores those selections along with which library they belong to. That's why you get the prompt to erase and reload with a different library. If you had restored the backup taken immediately before the upgrade that would probably have restored your selections.

Why is it so chaotic to Sync Settings between apps of Adobe CC 2014? (and to transfer settings from CC to CC 2014)

Although, in general I'm a big fan of the Adobe Products and the CC Idea, I think that some parts of it were not ready for launch.
The part that mostly disturbs me is the settings syncing / Update. (Or "Seamless Update")
Concerning the updates:
I had own workspace in all the CC Adobe Apps, the only CC 2014 App that imported the previous settings in the new app at the first start was Photoshop.
Indesign made it through the Edit => Migrate previous local settings
Illustrator by copying the settings files manually
in Dreamweaver and Flash I had to recreate the workspace manually (which finally took less time then trying to sync settings.)
So long for the Seamless update that wasn't so seamless.
Concerning the settings syncing
Why could'nt adobe have the settings syncing working the same way in all it's CC 2014 applications? ( File Menu on PC / The Name of the App Menu on Mac => Sync Settings, upload or download settigns; done!)
Instead (on mac) :
In Photoshop: Photoshop => my account name => upload and download settings ( and no way to import settings from previous version )
In Illustrator: Illustrator => my account name => Sync Settings ( and I cannot import settings from the previous version, only from the same version )
in Indesign: Indesign => my account name => Sync Settings ( and the only CC 2014 App where the "Migrate previous local settings" function is working )
in Dreamweaver => my account name => Sync Settings and a button on the far right of the upper toolbar (and no way to import previous version's local settings)
in Flash => my account name => Sync Settings and a button on the far right of the upper toolbar (and no way to import previous version's local settings)
in Premiere Pro => my account name => Sync Settings with the possibility to clear settings and to use settings from a different account
Appart from that update and syncing chaos, the syncing between two computers simply doesn't seem to work ( at least for me).
I have a computer at work and a laptop at home and I'd like to have the same workspace in my apps at home as at work for occasional home working.
I created and configured my custom workspaces on the mac at work and then synced settings (respectively uploaded them in Photoshop). I had cleared all the saved settings from the Creative Cloud online account first.
I arrived at home, tried to sync settings but no workspace was implemented. (and before you ask, yes i had checked that the workspaces should be synced and that, on the laptop at home, the cloud settings should be applied.)
After few tryings I gave up and ended up recreating my setings on both machine. Frankly I don't know why the sync settings are for, since they just don't seem to work.
I really think you should rethink this feature: make it simpler, working THE SAME WAY in all Adobe apps, and, well, just working!
I'd just like to log into creative cloud an any computer, sync settings, and be able to use my custom created workspace.
I posted this in the Cloud Forum since, in my opinion, the settings syncing is a cloud matter and not a matter of each app individually.

Retrieving Missing Sync Settings When Upgrading From an Older Version of Firefox to the latest version.

I initially set up my Sync account using an add-on for an older version of Firefox and have since upgraded to the latest version. But now my browser acts as if I don't have a sync account set up at all. When I attempt to create a new account, it says that my email address is already being used which tells me that my sync information is still on the the servers. So how do I retrieve my sync settings when settings are missing within my browser?

I resolved the problem in Snow Leopard by logging out of my (admin) account and logging into my daughter's account on the same machine. She doesn't have admin privileges, so when I tried to install Firefox 4 in her account, I had to authenticate with my admin identity and PW. Installation went smoothly after that. My guess is that you could also simply create a new account on the same machine and install Firefox 4 from that. I have no idea why this works.

HT5621 I changed my apple ID on my laptop and I can no longer sync calendars from my iphone4s to the Macbook. I went to settings and when I open iCloud account settings, my old apple id is grayed out and I can't tap it to change it. Any suggestions??

I changed my apple ID on my Macbook but I am unable to sync calendar from my iphone 4s. When I go to settings in the phone, my old ID is there, but it is greyed out and I can't change it. I was able to change the app store ID, but the one in iCloud settings seems stuck. Any suggestions??

You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
Have you seen this.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

After installing Firefox again, I wanted to get back my settings, bookmarks etc. by syncronising with Firefox Sync but accidentaly settings from a fresh browser

After formatting the partition and installing Firefox again, I wanted to get my settings, bookmarks etc. back by syncronising with Firefox Sync but accidentaly settings from a fresh browser was uploaded and now I cannot have the browser the way I used to have. Is there any way to reverse this changes?

Hi zoomy,
First check that you still have data in your sync account.
Firefox button > Options > Sync > Manage Account
It should tell you how much data is stored in the account. Is there any?
If there is still data in the sync account then you can follow the instructions in this article [[What is Firefox Sync?]]. Refer to the 'How much of my data is synced?' section. Change the option to 'Replace all data on this computer with my Sync data'.
I hope that works for you.
If there is no data in your sync account you will be able to get it back by syncing from another computer. Just make sure that the settings on that computer are not replaced by the blank account again. You can use the 'Replace all other devices with this computer's data' option to prevent this.
Please note that Firefox Sync is designed only to sync details between devices not as an online backup tool. If you are formatting a partition it is generally best to backup your profile folder along with any other data. See [[Managing profiles]] for more detail.
