Update from AE CC to CC 2014

Sir/Mam,
I have been using Adobe after effects CC from a year and want to update it to CC 2014 version. I have installed many paid plugins in it. So is there any way where I can use the plugins in AE CC 2014 without installing it again ?

I have a subscription to Photoshop CC and on one computer the program updated to Photoshop 2014 and on the other computer , in a another town, the program did not update from CC to Photoshop cc 2014

I have a subscription to Photoshop CC and use it on two different computers at different times. On one computer Photoshop CC updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and on the other it did not update

CC 2014 is not an update to CC. It is a separate install. Simply go into your Creative Cloud software and download the CC 2014 version.

Photo transfer and update from 5-year-old Macbook to new iMac using Time Machine resulted in half of 2014's photos being un-viewable (only a gray triangle with exclamation point shows). How do I fix it?

I turned on my new iMac for the first time today and set it up using a backup on Time Machine from my old Macbook, which is running OS X 10.9.5 and has iPhoto version 8.1.2. When I went to open iPhoto on the new computer, it said I had to update the photos to work with the new version. Now, my photos from part of July 26, 2014 and onwards do not show up in the new iPhoto. The albums and spaces for the photos are there, but only a gray triangle with exclamation point shows in their place. Every other photo from 2003 to half of July 26, 2014 appears to have updated without issue. None of the fixes/rebuilds I tried worked. When I open up TimeMachine, it has no backups that I can use for the new computer (perhaps, because I wanted to still have access to use my old backups for my old laptop so told it not to use them for the new computer). My most recent half a year's photos are the ones I need the most. How do I make them appear on my new iMac?

Do you still have the old Mac? Then check, if the iPhoto Library has the newer events from July 26 onwards.
If yes, copy the iPhoto library from the old Mac to the new mac by connecting both computers. And then try to upgrade the copied library.
If you no longer have access to the old mac, you could try to inherit the backup of the old Mac and try to restore the iPhoto Library from it.

How do I migrate settings in Illustrator after updating from CC to CC 2014?

I have just updated from CC to CC 2014 and was not given the option to migrate settings for Illustrator as I was for Photoshop. How can I do this?

I don't know if this is the easiest way to do it, but it works.
Hard Drive> Users (choose your name) > Library (if you don't see the Library - View> View Options> Show Library Folder) >Application Support > Adobe
You should see Adobe Illustrator 17 & 18 folders
Adobe Illustrator 17> en_US in this folder you will find your saved Brushes, Swatches, Symbols etc...
Open the Adobe Illustrator 18> en_US and manually place any of files from Ai 17 into the appropriate folders in Ai 18. Restart Ai 18 and check to see that everything is in place.

How can I import Photoshop-Shortcuts from CC into the CC 2014 update? Migration and Sync didn't help. What am I doing wrong? The .kys is also in the same folder as in the previous version of PS CC.

If you had Illustrator you could take advantage of smart objects.

July 2014 update from HTC breaks WiFi

My wife and I received an update from HTC via VZW OTA and now neither phone will connect to the home Wifi. It doesn't connect to the WiFi at work and I'm seeing a lot of complaints on various forums about the update causing problems with WiFi for the 8x.
What was this update supposed to do and when will this issue be resolved?

Oops, I am so use to replying to android I just replied.
In any case Verizon may push it out for the maker of the device HTC be it androids or windows. The code did not come from Verizon.
Lets have HTC tell you the code was from Verizon.
The support is under the manufacturers warranty minus any water or physical damage.
Its just like customers yelling about updates to apple devices when Verizon does nothing to push them out. They cannot win.
Again Good Luck

I can't get Dr Browns Image Processor Pro to work from Bridge with Photoshop CC 2014

We use the wonderful DR Browns Image Processor Pro script a lot, but cannot get it to work from Bridge with PS CC 2014. When I select files in Bridge CC and then go to Tools> Dr Browns Services 2.3.1 > Image Processor Pro it just pops up an error message that says ReferenceError: photoshop is undefined.
The actual script works fine if I launch it from Photoshop CC 2014 - just not if I load it from Bridge CC.
I have unistalled it and re installed a few times, both manually and through the Extension Manager CC.
I am using a Win 7 64bit computer.
I assume there is some change in the scripting part that loads Photoshop from bridge but not sure. It worked fine in CC. Just not CC 2014.
I opened the Dr Browns Services .jsx file but don't see anything obvious. This is the section related to the Image Processor Pro part:
// This routine takes an array of files. If called by Photoshop,
// it will invoke Dr. Brown's Process 1-2-3 with the files. If called by
// any other app, it will send a BridgeTalk message to Photoshop
// to invoke this routine with the same arguments.
drbrownserv.process123 = function (files) {
// Bring Photoshop to the foreground.
BridgeTalk.bringToFront ("photoshop");
// Create a new BridgeTalk message for Photoshop to invoke
// Image Processor with the selected files
var btMessage = new BridgeTalk;
btMessage.target = "photoshop";
btMessage.body = "drbrownserv.process123 (" + files.toSource () + ");";
btMessage.send ();
} else {
photoshop.runActionCommand ('611736f0-9c46-11e0-aa82-0800200c9a66', files);
catch (error) {
if (error.number != 8007) // Don't report user cancelled errors.
drbrownserv.alert (error);

I copied that .jsx file to a new name "Xbytor Image Processor Pro.jsx" edit that file changed the string Dr Browns services to "Xbytor Image Processor Pro" then commented out all the code that added tools menu items but "Image Processor Pro" and I put that file into
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CC\Adobe Bridge" even though Bridge CC is 64Bit seems to use theat location.
Bridge CC was updated by the creative clouds update and opens Photoshop CC 2014 now

Software Updates ADR Issue: "Failed to download the update from the internet. Error = 5"

"Failed to download the update from internet. Error = 5"
The above is the error I am getting when running any ADR. The error is quite clear software updates are failing to download and Error = 5 being a permissions error its clear that the downloads are failing due to incorrect permissions applied to the download
path.

Also, I do not have a patchdownloader.log anywhere, Ive checked all aforementioned locations from various sources and it just simply does not exist on my SCCM server. Here is my setup:
Server1: Primary server with all roles installed locally except the site database is on its own server. WSUS is installed locally here and DB is stored here.
Server2: SQL DB for Primary site DB
Server3: Secondary remote site running MP, DP, SUP. DB is SQL Express local.
So the SUP role was installed successfully on both server1 first and server 2 second with the site servers accounts. The SUP Synchronizes successfully and I can see a large list of updates available for use but not downloaded of course. I have set WSUS option
to store updates locally and have plenty of space at the target destination.
So here is my issue, I have been working on this issue for the better part of a week and understand the error code from the ruleengine.log to be a permissions issue. I have also proved this out but creating a test ADR with minimal updates and applied NTFS perms
to the target path for Modify with the everyone group (testing purposes only). The updates downloaded successfully. So this puts me right back to where I was, knowing its a permissions issue but not understanding what permissions are needed. Let me explain
further.
The best way to start is to show what perms I have to the target location for downloads/wsus/sup anything:
Path: \\Server1\UpdatesAndDefinitions (permissions being applied to the UpdatesAndDefinitions root folder)
SCCMAdmin (account used for most SCCM tasks except for NA) / Modify / Share and NTFS
Server1$ (primary site server) / Modify / NTFS
Everyone / read and execute / NTFS and Share
There are other system generated perms but the above three are the important ones. So hence my confusion I know that the SCCMAdmin account or the Server its self has to be accessing the target directory so why is it failing with a permissions issue?
My next step was to enable Auditing on the target path. Doing so revealed just what I thought and through me into further frustration:

Now I may not be the best I traversing through the mess of audit entry's and translating them, but from what I can see the two accounts that have the proper share and ntsf perms ive listed above are indeed the ones accessing the target location and the audit
code is success. I filter for failures and found no audits for failures whatsoever yet my downloads still fail religiously, unless of course I open myself up with the everyone group.
So next... I tried adding in the Network Service account with proper permissions, the Local Service Account, my user account, and all no go's.
Next... I remove the SUP roles from SCCM checked the logs for deinstall confirmations, and reinstalled these roles. No Go!
If anyone can assist I would be in your debt and very grateful.
Oh last note, but very important note I'm running SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4
Thanks,
Michael

I just tested with the everyone group further; I added everyone with modify for ntfs and just read only for share and downloads failed!
I then changed the share perms for everyone to change and the ntfs to read/execute and poof downloads complete! Obviously change share perms for everyone leaves me open which Id like to prevent, so finding what account is being used is crucial.
I have already tried adding all of the SCCM accounts I use and the servers themselves as change perms to share and ntfs and have not had any luck.

Updates from Apple result in white screen, have to reinstall thru time machine, 4hrs.

I have a Mac 21.5, OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Processor: 3.06 GHz; intel Core i3
Memory 4 GB 1333MHz DDR3
If I do an update from Apple I end up with the White Screen of Death. I restore thru Time Machine and this takes about 4hrs. I have to turn off, unplug everything then plug everything back in, power up while holding "shift" "command" "r" and "p", keeping my finger on power button till I get an option screen with 4 choices. I've found, restore with Time Machine the best choice. It takes two people to hold the keys and power up. I don't know why this happens, hoping for some ideas. There has to be an easier and faster way to restore. I currently have an update pending, 10.10.3, I just did 10.10.2 Saturday (04-11-15) and had to go through all of the above to get update and eliminate "white screen" to restore.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
        Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
        Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

Windows 8.1 will not get Forefront Client Updates from WSUS

Recently I noticed that my Windows 8.1 clients were not getting updates from WSUS 3.2. After some searching I found it was an issue with HTTPS and the solution was to disable HTTPS or enable TLS. So I enabled TLS on the Server 2008 R2 WSUS server
and that fixed the issue with my 8.1 clients not getting updates except for Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010. My SCCM server deploys the client fine but it is version 2.1 and normally the client and definition updates come from WSUS with the
latest client version being 4.5. However, my Windows 8.1 machines will not get the client updates even though they are automatically approved for all machines.
I am just wondering what else I can check or change to make sure my Windows 8.1 clients get the Forefront client updates as they should?? I am wondering if I manually install the 4.1 client update if it will take the client updates after that.
I only have about eight Windows 8.1 machines so if I have to do that by hand for now then I will and I think my organization will be moving to Server 2012 and SCCM 2012 this summer sometime.

I reread your post and have another suggestion. If your SCCM 2007 server is still deploying the old 2.1 FEP client version, then you should install the latest anti-malware platform update for the SCCM server so you can deploy it from there instead of WSUS:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2952678

Also, you may be affected by this:
"Anti-malware platform updates on MU will use special detection logic and applicability rules to make the anti-malware platform updates available only on computers with previous N-2 anti-malware platforms installed. For example, on April 8<sup>th</sup>,
anti-malware platform of version 4.5.x will be released on MU, and it will only be offered to computers where anti-malware platform version 4.3.x or 4.4.x is available. If a computer has FEP or SCEP client with version 4.1.x, it has to be upgraded to version
4.3.x first, then to the latest version (4.5.x). If a computer has FEP or SCEP client with version older than 4.1.x, because of the same N-2 rule, it has to be upgraded to 4.1.x first, then to 4.3.x, and then to the latest version (4.5.x). Required updates
will be kept on MU to ensure that this upgrade process is available for computers running older versions of the Microsoft anti-malware platform."

How to update from WSUS 3.2 SP2 running on Windows 2008 R2 to WSUS 4.0

Hello, with WSUS 4.0 already in the market, is it adviseable to update from WSUS 3.2 SP2? I am looking at a bare installation of WSUS 4.0 in Server 2012 R2, from basic looks I have not seen yet anything different. We have 12 WSUS servers
servicing a wide area, and before going ahead with any update of this infrasturture I would like to know of anyone has gone this upgrade path yet? Thanks

is it adviseable to update from WSUS 3.2 SP2?
I don't think it's critical to upgrade to WSUS v6 at this time, unless your WSUS v3.2 server is still running on a 32-bit system (or any form of WS2003). If you're running WSUS v3.2 on WS2008/WS2008R2 (x64), then those platforms will continue to be supported
until 2020, so there's no immediate need. However, if you're contemplating a major migration of all systems to Win8/WS2012 environments, then it makes sense to migrate the WSUS server also. If you expect to have Win7/WS2008R2 systems online for the foreseeable
future, then WSUS v3.2 x64 will continue to meet your needs.
I am looking at a bare installation of WSUS 4.0 in Server 2012 R2, from basic looks I have not seen yet anything different.
The most notable difference is a much richer PowerShell interface, so if you're inclined to use PowerShell to manage WSUS, that would be an advantage.
A notable disadvantage is that you can only partially manage a WSUS v6 system from a Windows 7 workstation: Local publishing requires that activity to be performed from the same generation of system. For example, WSUS v6.3 can only be published to from a
WS2012R2 or Win8.1 system; WSUS v6.2 can only be published to from a WS2012 or Win8.0 system. This is due to internal dependencies on the BUILD number of the WSUS API.
I suspect the dependency was a manifestation of protecting WSUS v2 and WSUS v3 systems back in 2007 (local publishing was first introduced in WSUS v3.0), but with SIX possible builds of WSUS now available, it's becoming a major PITA!
