Transfering settings between computers

I have a new computer and installed elements 11 on it. I have a complete backup of the hard-drive of my old computer.
How do I get all my old settings, tagged people and catalogue from my old computer program on my new one ? I have a large selection of tagged people and places and do not want to lose that information about all the video.
Thank you.

What is the extension for a catalogue ?
A catalog is not a single file, it's a folder containing the main database, catalog.pse13db, together with other files and subfolders (including the cache for thumbnails). The default location (which may be a hidden folder in Windows) can be found by the Help/System info menu of the organizer. You should be able to find that folder in your old computer and to copy it where you want on the new computer. The problem I mentionned will be to get all your pictures 'reconnected'. That can be done with the 'reconnect' command.

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this an endemic problem with others? I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. Is this an issue with the problem?

Similar problem just happened to me with the Creative Cloud Update 1.7.1.418—slightly different so I thought I'd share. I have multiple Adobe Creative Cloud programs installed on my computer, all working just fine. I updated the Cloud App to the latest version and then it shows me that I have only one program installed! All my previously installed programs (Photoshop and the like) still work but show as "install" instead of "Up to date". Initially I thought I'd have to re-install the Cloud app or recreate the OPM data base but then I noticed that some of the Cloud app preferences (Apps > Settings > App Language) were different to what I had set previously. I use English (International) language, the update had reverted the app back to English (North American). I flicked back to my previous language and bam, all my apps now show as being installed correctly.

Problem Transferring items between computers

Hi, I followed the instructions under Transferring items between computers, and the pc I tranferred to gives me an error message stating: "Document is not licensed for this device type." Both devices are HP with WIndows 7. The ebook opens just fine on one HP, but not on the second HP. How can I get it to open successfully on both computers? Thank you.

Ken,
If you need to regularly transfer data then I'd set up an Ethernet connection to file share and then transfer (modern Macs have at least 100BaseT Ethernet (which is around 12MBps max).
If it's a irregular transfer you don't do often then using Firewire Target Disk Mode (theoretical 50MBps max) is probably easiest:
Connect the two Macs with a 6pin-to-6pin Firewire cable.
Restart the donor Mac which has the files on it and hold down the T key.
The hard disk of the donor Mac will appear on the second Mac.
Transfer your files.
Drag the hard disk of the donor Mac to the Trash to unmount it.
Power down the donor Mac using the power button.
Other options include networking over Firewire (again about 50Mbps but some overheads for the protocols involved) or Airport (original approx 1MBps max, Extreme approx 6MBps max).

Question about transferring settings between profiles

I'm having a problem transferring settings between profiles. The following procedure replicates the problem:
Launch Firefox with an existing profile and reconfigure the navigation toolbar so that the Stop and Reload buttons are separate.
Using Profile Manager, create a new profile; DON'T launch Firefox.
Copy file localstore.rdf from the old profile to the new profile.
Launch Firefox with the new profile and observe that the Stop and Reload buttons in the navigation toolbar are in their default, combined configuration.
Close Firefox and copy file localstore.rdf from the old profile to the new profile AGAIN.
Relaunch Firefox with the new profile and observe that the Stop and Reload buttons in the navigation toolbar are separate.
The same thing happens with bookmarks menu tweaks and file places.sqlite (I'm referring to tweaks to the menu itself, not the bookmarks).
It seems that Firefox doesn't honor some of the settings in localstore.rdf and places.sqlite the first time it is run with a new profile. Running Firefox the first time over-writes the custom settings, requiring that the files be copied a second time. Then it works as expected.
I stumbled across this while trying to pre-install Firefox v9.0.1 and my custom settings on several systems running Windows XP.
Does anyone know a work-around?

Maybe create a default template folder and place the files in that folder.

Does MobileMe sync e-mail messages or only the account settings between computers?

Does MobileMe actually sync e-mail messages between computers or only the account settings?

Here's a scenario: We have an iPhone, an iMac, and a MacBook Plus that we want to sync with MobileMe. So let's say that we check our e-mail using the iMac tomorrow. We save some new messages and delete the rest. Does MobileMe then sync (i.e. save the same messages and delete the rest on the iPhone and the MacBook Plus)? Or do we need to go through the same process with the iPhone and the MacBook Plus as we did on the iMac?
Also, does MobileMe sync addresses, favorites, documents, etc.?
If you delete a message on the iMac it would also automatically delete that message on the iPhone and MacBook. If you send a message from the iPhone it would appear in the sent messages folder on the MacBook. If you receive a message on the MacBook and read it then it would appear as read on the iMac, etc.
Yes, MobileMe will sync your address book, Safari bookmarks and documents. However it's a little trickier with the documents as it involves localizing your iDisk. I'm personally not a huge fan of the tech that Apple uses for the iDisk (WebDAV) and I feel there are some better solutions out there but it will get the job done.
It's important to add that Apple offers a 60-day, no obligation, trial of MobileMe for you to try out and see if the features are worth it for $99/year.

Transferring Preset Print settings between computers using indesign

Ok so I just got a brand new macbook pro that has the latest os x 10.5.7, and I'm using it at work. I need to print files off of indesign in a specific way that my computer doesn't know how to. One of the work computers has been setup before and i need to transfer the presets from that computer to this one. I've tried replacing my com.apple.print.custompresets.plist file and that didn't work. Then i called applecare and they said transfer files from the hidden folder etc. I copied the ppd folder and the two files right below it which were printers.conf and printers.con.O, and that didn't work either. So finally i tried to save the preset settings directly from indesign by going to print presets/define/save, then i put that file on my computer and tried opening the file as a preset setting but it said that indesign cannot locate the ppd specified by the preset. Any ideas?

I haven't tried to install a postscript printer on a Mac in over 4 years, so I'm pretty rusty, and I honestly don't know how to check what driver is in use, but I suspect you don't have the postscript driver installed.
But to do what you want is more than just picking the correct print driver. Somewhere along the line you need to impose the booklet. I don't know the printer, but I imagine the controller has some some sort of imposition function built in, along with controls for the finisher.
I've just been on the Konica Minota site and it looks as if the PS drivers were issued for OS 10.4, but all they have for 10.5 looks like a paper size patch. You should probably call KM cutomer service (or your vendor) to see what you need to do to get it installed correctly.

Transferring Ical between computers

I have recently transferred all data from an old Macbook to my new Macbook Pro using firewire. Unfortunately the bug that was in ical was also transferred and so will not sync with Mobile Me. I have returned the old Macbook back to factory settings using the installation disks so there is now a good copy of ical on the old machine. I now want to transfer the good ical to my new Macbook Pro, can this be done using firewire or any other means? If not how can I fix my ical?

Just what it says - open System Preferences, click on Mobile Me, and in the Advanced tab there should be an option to reset your sync data.
The specific error you are seeing is addressed here:

Is there a way to transfer IVI settings between computers?

I'm trying to use the IVI generic class drivers and would like the Logical Names , Virtual Instruments, Instrument Driver, and Device settings to be transferred to another computer so I don't have to go through the multi-headed beast setup for each of many power supplies. Is there a file, such as the .daq that transfers these settings? The .daq only seems to get the channel wizard stuff...

Information about logical names, vitual instruments etc. you can find in ivi.ini. This file should be located in [VXIpnp]\WinNT\niivi\ivi.ini (Win NT,2000,Xp). In windows 95,98,Me [VXIpnp]\Win95\niivi\ivi.ini

Transferring profiles between computers via time machine

This may be a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. My new MBPR is one of the ones with a faulty battery in the 100k+ thread below, and Apple agreed to send me a brand new one. The problem is, they're not sending it until they receive the defective one back. I need to migrate over the profile to this new computer. Files aren't my concern, as they're all backed up - but my profile and network settings are.
In my company, our Mac "specialist" took a new job, and they're in the process of trying to replace him. So, I don't want to go through the nightmare of reconfiguring the network settings on the new machine.
But, if getting a new machine is the only option - is it possible to restore that sort of thing from a HD backup, the same way that you would migrate in a direct connection from computer to computer?

Make a Time Machine backup of your current computer. When the new computer arrives, use Setup Assistant to restore the Time Machine backup of your old computer to your new computer. Your new computer will then be identical to your old computer...network settings and all.

Photoshop CC - Can't sync settings between computers

Hi!
I have Photoshop CC both on my desktop computer and on my laptop. Now I want to sync the settings to my laptop. But it doesn't work.
Here is a screendump from my desktop computer:
As you can see I'm logged in to my account. But shouldn't I also be listed as logged in under Settings > Syncronize Settings?
Is there something I have overlooked?
I would be thankful for some support.
Thor

I went into the help menu and signed out of PSCC 2014, and then signed right back into it and it was available for me to save my settings. This worked for me - Hope it works for anyone who finds this post.

Question on Transfering Music Between Computers

I have read the article on using the iPod as a harddrive and transferring to a new computer...but there's still a couple things I'm not clear about.
1. If I wanted to tranfer my iTunes library to a new computer, I would first transfer all the music to my iPod, then, in the new computer, make sure Syncing is off, and then simply transfer purchases from iPod? I got confused in the article where it reads: "If you've erased the iTunes library on your computer, there's no way to use the Finder or My Computer to copy the media from your iPod to reconstitute the library on your computer." Is this simply saying the only way to restore the library is to use the "transfer purchases from iPod" option or re-burn and buy all my music?
2. If I purchase a song from another computer and load it to my iPod, will the song be erased when I hook my iPod to my home computer if it syncs before I use the "Transfer purchases from iPod" option?

can anyone help here?

Transferring Music Between Computers With Ipod (Very Unique Situation)

My Ipod has about 300+ songs on it that aren't on my old desktop (Windows)and I would like to know if I can get those 300 songs off the Ipod and onto my new MacBook Pro. I looked at the tutorial for how to do this and I saw two problems I would need to address. The first is the guide says something about not being able to move the files from a PC to a Mac and the second is it talks about updating the files on the ipod which I can't do since the files I want to find aren't on there. Can I move these files without updating the Ipod? Oh and by the way I moved all the other files over to the MacBook.

There's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated there are also a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you are happy with.
Senuti Mac Only
iPodRip Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPod.iTunes Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to your MacBook and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod will appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

Transferring Printers Between Computers

I just finished setting a new Retina MBP up from a Time Machine Backup, and printers were not transferred. On the source machine, updated to 10.9.2, there are 7 printers, however on the destination machine, running 10.9.5, no printers copied over. Is there a way to export printers from the source and import them into the destination or some other method of copying printers from one computer to another in Mavericks?

I have no idea if that is possible or if it is done with Migration Assistant.
Seems like it would be faster to just Add the printers.

Sharing/transferring music between computers

I am trying to transfer/share my "podcasts" folder, "purchased" folder, and a personal folder from this computer, my father's laptop, to our home computer, a desktop computer. My dad also uses iTunes on this laptop, so we each have a separate folder within iTunes for our playlists, thus my only transferring certain playlists. I followed each step precisely as shown in the article about this on the website, but it did not work, as many times as I checked to make sure I was doing everything right. When I go to the home desktop computer and check the Look for Shared Music box in the Preferences section, then click OK, nothing ever comes into the source list, where the folders from this laptop are supposed to be. Please help! The home computer is new, and the old one was not capable of having iTunes, so all I am trying to do is transfer my iTunes folders and the music contained in them from this laptop to that computer. Any suggestions? Please?!

Transferring info between computers

my old macbook may have finally died. The battery is bulging and i think its overheated. But it will turn on - with a power cord. I need to transfer files and programmes from that computer to a new macbook PRO. I cant operate the mouse or cursor on the old computer but the hard drive seems intact.
can i start up new computer so that i can see the screen and obtain info from the old one and then copy it across before the old one completelt gives out.
Cheers

With the old computer turned off, connect the computers to eachother using an ethernet cable. Then turn on the old computer while holding down the "T" key, and keep holding the "T" key until it starts up. This will start it in Target Disk Mode. The old hard drive will (should) mount to the new computer's desktop. Then transfer away!
You can also use a Firwire or Thunderbolt cable
I hope this helps!
