What's the easiest way to move the location of my CS6 install?

Hello,
I recently installed CS6. However, I installed it onto a storage drive without really thinking that through. I'd much rather it be on the primary drive instead.
Because the download/install/activation/update etc was such a time-consuming headache, I really do not want to uninstall the entire thing and go through all of that again. Plus, given my luck, there would probably be some glitch or problem when uninstalling or activating with the same serial number, etc. It just seems like a pain.
So I'm wondering how feasible it would be to literally just drag the entire folder over? Obviously the shortcuts would change, but would everything else still work?
Any advice or insight would be very welcomed.
Thanks!

What is your operating system & version?
If you are on Windows, moving an installed application to another location is not possible; only uninstall/reinstall can achieve that.
I don't know if it's possible on another OS.

What's the easiest way to move app data and data structures to a server?

Hi guys,
I've been developing my app locally with Apex 4.2 and Oracle 11g XE on Windows 7. It's getting close to the time to move the app to an Oracle Apex server. I imagine Export/Import is the way to move the app. But what about the app tables and data (those tables/data like "customer" and "account" created specifically for the app)? I've been using a data modeling tool, so I can run a DDL script to create the data structures on the server. What is the easiest way to move the app data to the server? Is there a way to move both structures and data in one process?
Thanks,
Kim

There's probably another way to get here, but, in SQL Developer, on the tree navigation, expand the objects down to your table, right click, then click EXPORT.. there you will see all the options. This is a tedious process and it sucks IMO, but yeah, it works. It sucks mostly because 1) it's one table at a time, 2) if your data model is robust and has constraints, and sequences and triggers, then you'll have to disable them all for the insert, and hope that you can re-enable constraints, etc without a glitch (good luck, unless you have only a handful of tables)
I prefer using the oracle command line EXP to export an entire schema, then on the target server I use IMP to import the schema. That way, it's near exact. This makes life messy if you develop more than one application in a single schema, and I've felt that pain -- however -- it's a whole lot easier to drop tables and other objects than it is to create them! (thus, even if the process of EXP/IMP moved more than you wanted to "move".. just blow away what you don't want on the target after the fact..)
You could use oracle's datapump method too.
Alternatively, what can be done, IF you have access to both servers from your SQL developer instance (or if you can tnsping them both already from the command line, you can use SQL*PLUS), is run a script that will identify your apex apps' objects (usually by prefix to object names, like EBA_PROJ_%, etc) and do all the manual work for you. I've created a script that does exactly this so that I can move data from dev to prod servers over a dblink. It's tricky because of the order that must be executed to disable constraints and then re-enable them, and of course, trickier if you don't consistently prefix ALL of your "application objects"... (tables, views, triggers, sequences, functions, procs, indexes, etc)

What is the easiest way to move my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new mac pro?

What is the easiest way to move my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new mac pro?

Surprisingly easy! Go into the Finder, then into the Photos Library. In there, there will be a file called your iPhoto Library. It holds all your photos, essentially a special type of folder. Using an external hard drive transfer it to the same location on your new Mac. Now, when you boot iPhoto on the new Mac, it will recognise it and you'll see all your photos instantly!
There's a really good video on it here...

Hello everyone. As a new Mac user, I would really like to know the easiest way to move my music files from my old PC to my MacBook? Do I move only the files, the entire iTunes and how? I have a lot of music so it is not a solution with iPod/iPhone.

Easiest way to move games and apps from old ipad (cracked screen) to replacement ipad?

What is the easiest way to move games from old ipad (cracked screen) to new (replacement) ipad?

When you plug the new one into iTunes to set it up, you'll be asked if you want to set it up as a new iPad or restore from the backup of the old one. make that choice and you should be good to go. You'll need to input passwords and set the internet back up and such, but most of it will be there.

What is the PowerShell code to display installed programs sorted by date that they were installed?

What is the PowerShell code to display installed programs sorted by the date that they were installed?

Hi Larry,
If you don't mind using Win32_Product, you can do that this way:
Get-WmiObject Win32_Product |
Sort InstallDate |
Select Name,Caption,Version,Vendor,InstallDate
EDIT: Also,
Bill Stewart has a good script that uses the registry instead of Win32_Product. I'm not sure if it returns an installed date though.

What's the purpose of a CUSTOMIZE install of iLife 08?

So over the weekend I upgraded to iLife 08 on my machine. I wanted everything except Garageband. So I selected custom install from the options. I checked everything I wanted and made sure I did NOT check Garageband. It even said SKIP next to it. So I proceeded with the install of the other apps and low and behold a little while later I looked at the screen and it said GarageBand content being installed!
Does this thing have a mind of its own?! What is the purpose of a custom install if its going to put apps on that I don't want any way?
Sure enough when it was all done, I opened my applications folder and Garageband was in there. I have Soundtrack Pro and have no need for Garageband.

DVX100Shooter,
It is very possible that you inadvertently caused Garageband to be "checked" when closing the category under which it falls. In the "Customize" interface, items are included in sub-lists that are opened and closed using the "disclosure triangles." Individual items can be enabled or disabled with their own check boxes, or the entire sub-list can be enabled or disabled using the check box for that list.
What I am getting at here is that it is relatively easy to mistakenly enable a list heading, perhaps when closing the disclosure triangle, thereby enabling the items in the list. I've done this myself when navigating these dialogues.

What are the pros and cons of installing java+abap stack for portal?

Hi all,
1.What are the pros and cons of installing java+abap stack for portal?

Hi Rajendra,
The NetWeaver Installation Master Guide offers some good scenarios on the pros and cons:
https://websmp201.sapag.de/~sapidb/011000358700005412792005E.pdf
In a nutshell:
ABAP+JAVA
Pros
- Decrease # of servers required to administer the portal
- Less costly
Cons
- Upgrades could be dependent on ABAP and Java release level
- Additional load on the server due to ABAP stack
- Limited scalability
JAVA and ABAP on separate server
Pros
- Improved performance
- Allows each system to be single-use purpose therefore downtime does not affect other components
- More scalable
Cons
- Adds complexity to landscape
- Additional costs

What are the components I need to install on my apps server

Hello All,
Our Oracle DB 10.1.0.3.0 is installed on Linux Server.
Oracle 10g Developer Site is installed on windows XP.
I have upgraded form & reports form earlier version 6.0..
Now I need to install Oracle Application Server on windows 2003 (x86) 32 bit.
I never done this b4.
My question is that ,
what are the components I need to install on my apps server to run Forms & Reports?
I am installing apps server on one machine.
But when I read documentation they said its better to install on two machine.
Regards,
Diana

Yes,
I'm sorry to tell you but for forms and reports (BI) you need to install almost everything, you need to install an infrastructure as first components, and then a midtier for AS with Business Intelligence option, in this second component you can chose to install Reports, forms, OCJ4, Portal, any other component you need or you thik you will need in the future.
You can install both in one Server if you don't have resources for 2 or 3 thinking on load balance. It works fine for me in one server but my operation is not too big.

What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity. Thanks

What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.
Thanks
<moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

Illustrator is not working as it should...
I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
Thanks...
PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?

Is X-windows and GUI desktops supported on the ODA "engineered system" running a RAC database? If it is, what is the yum command needed to install the X-windows, Gnome, and KDE package groups?

Is X-windows and GUI desktops supported on the ODA "engineered system" running a RAC database? If it is, what is the yum command needed to install the X-windows, Gnome, and KDE package groups?

While I agree with the direction of the suggestions with installing packages for X-windows, we do not have a blanket 'apply any package' recommendation.
In particular we do not support altering the kernel (although we do have exceptions which we review on a case by case basis).
Basically, if the you want to alter functionality that would not impact core functionality you are usually fine.
A good guideling is : The more dependencies that there are between the package / rpm you are considering using the higher the potential impact on functionality - meaning higher chance for problems
Note: We do use VNC including Real and Tiger regularly , but we have no hard recommendation on how you may want to use X-windows. I have never seen a limitation other than comments on bugs
or incompatibility within the X-window product itself with certain kernel levels.
Patching may overwrite some packages that you may install, however, _depending on packages/rpms added_ there is also the possibility that you will break existing functionality to the point
that patching itself will fail ( we have already seen a few cases of this in which case the proper mitigation is to remove / roll-back any alterations to the ODA before patching, and then adding the packages/rpms
back after the patching is completed.
From what you are discussing the impact should be low without conflicts, but please consider the above, and if you have specific packages which you consider potential problems
please create an SR so that we can review packages / rpms on an individual basis.
Once again: the main criteria for not supporting rpms is regarding the kernel itself

Are you trying to open the form locally or remotely?
If locally then do the following:
- From 'regedit' navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle
- Search for FORMS60_PATH
- Make sure that "D:\oracle\visappl\au\11.5.0\resource" exist in FORMS60_PATH
If remotely the do the following:
- Copy "D:\oracle\visappl\au\11.5.0\resource" to your local machine (for example D:\resource)
- From 'regedit' navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle
- Search for FORMS60_PATH
- Make sure that "D:\resource" exist in FORMS60_PATH
Close/Open the from builder, you should be able to open the form then.

What is the difference between Elements & CS6

What is the difference between Elements & CS6
Message title was edited by: Brett N

There are many differences, too many to list really, but here are some of the major ones:
1. Elements comes with the catalog based Organizer. CS6 has the file navigation based Bridge.
2. The Elements Editor has stripped down versions of many of the same tools that CS6 has. Same tools, fewer options.
javascript:;
3. Elements Editor has Quick and Guided editing modes to simply workflow to the most basic needs.
4. Elements does not support CMYK and has very little support for 16-bit images.
