Where is a brush I created saved on my hard drive?

I just got a new computer and the brushes I created and saved are missing. Is there way to find them (I have access to my old hard drive)? Or are they gone for good? I can recreate them, but for some reason CS2 is not letting my define them to save them in the last step- Edit, Define Brush. I can define a pattern, but it will not let me define the brush!!
So it is a 2 point question-
1. Where are my brushes (I found all the ones I have purchased or downloaded already- but not the ones I created and saved in CS2)?
2. Why can't I choose "define brush"?
I am running on Windows 7 now and find that I am having a few issues with CS2 doing things a little differently!
Thanks!

I played around and found how to hide or show hidden files but that wasn't the answer. The I saw that you posted a reply that it would't work anyway!
No, I never saved them externally, just when I created them and chose "define brush" I created a handful of them this way and I guess they are just gone now?? I was hoping they would have been saved within the PS files somewhere! But if they are not in with the other brushes, I guess not.

  • Where do CD Track Names get saved on my hard drive?

    when i insert a cd, iTunes automatically checks CDDB for track titles, artist, etc. i can take the CD out and re-insert at a later date to import, and iTunes will remember which CD it is. some sort of preference i presume. this is all understood.
    my question is:
    where is this preference cached? if i need to backup this group of preferences, where do i look? is it in "iTunes Music Library.xml" in the iTunes Folder? or is it in "com.apple.iTunes.plist" in my User/Library/Preferences Folder?
    i've spent the last few hours just quickly getting track info from various CD's while importing another CD. however i plan to move iTunes to my Powerbook, probably before i finish importing the remaining CD's (and i'll be someplace without an internet connection). so i want to keep the effort of the morning intact.
    thanks for the help, anybody.

    Can't help you with where the data is stored but if you follow this guide on moving your iTunes folder it should make things easier for you:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748

  • I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox.  On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox.  I can't remember how I set this up.  Any help?

    The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
    You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

  • Premier Pro Project: Created on one External Hard Drive, Transferred to Different External Hard Drive, Project Will Not Open

    Here is my problem listed in simple steps:
    I created a project in Premier a couple years ago on a G-Raid mini external hard drive.
    I backed up my project folder on a LaCie external hard drive. 
    The G-Raid mini hard drive died.
    I cannot open my project from the LaCie drive.
    When I attempt to open my project, I get 2 error messages:
    First:  "The scratch disks are write protected or unavailable. To open this project, the scratch disks will be set to your documents folder. Would you like to continue?"
    I say "Yes"
    Second: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
    I say "OK", and that's the end.
    My understanding is that the problem has to do with the fact that my original scratch disks were created on the G-Raid mini hard drive, and that Premier will not open my project because the code for my .prproj file directs Premier to a hard drive that is not connected.  I have tried to edit the code in TextEdit, replacing the name of the old hard drive with the new one where the code reads:
    <project.settings.lastknowngoodprojectpath>
    This did not work.  I also tried changing the name of my new hard drive to match what the "lastknowngoodprojectpath" reads as in the code, but that did not work either.  I have searched high and low on the internet for someone who approaches the types of error messages I receive from the perspective of trying to open the project from a different hard drive, but I cannot find anyone who is specifically giving advice about this.  Any suggestions?

    I doubt that the error concerning the sequence preview preset file or codec has anything to do with the scratch disc location.

  • Can I use 'Macintosh HD' folder time machine creates like any other hard drive folder?

    Very simply, is it possible, after using Time Machine to back up my Laptop, to use the 'Macintosh HD' Folder it creates like I would any other hard drive by selecting and extracting specific folders and backed up items as I see fit instead of going in to the Time Machine software and asking it to restore the drive to one of its 'backups' -essentially governing what exactly goes back in to my freshly cleared out laptop's internal hard drive? Will I run in to any problems? I am asking as I have picked up a software bug that I need to wipe off laptop hdd that would still be in the backups I have done and go back on to the laptop if I just asked Time Machine to restore.

  • My old computer died. I removed the hard drive and converted it to an external hard drive. I want to get the bookmarks from that hard drive onto the new hard drive. I have Firefox 3.6.1 right now. Where do I find the bookmarks on the old hard drive?

    If I had to I could go to Internet Explorer Favorites on the old hard drive and find that file and bring those over to the new computer and into Firefox but those are outdated. Where would the favorites for Internet Explorer be found if you can't tell me where to find the Firefox Bookmarks file. I'd much prefer to find the Firefox Bookmarks, though.

  • Can't create folder on external hard drive from LR. or open images from LR in PS.

    I just restored my mac back to factory settings and reinstalled LR 5.  When I try to create a folder on the external hard drive it gives me this message
    "The folder /Volumes/Leigh's/Picutures/2014 could not be created on disk."
    Also, when I go to "EDIT IN" PS it gives me this message
    "Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at /Volumes/Leigh's/Picutures/2013/Cypress/untitled-4-Edit_tonemapped.tif for editing.
    It will not be opened."
    Not sure what happened since I restored the computer and reinstalled LR. Might it have something to do with using the same HD from my Time Machine back up?
    Thanks.

  • How do you move just your movies and tv shows to an external hard drive and have iTunes recognize that that is where that media is (keeping music on the internal hard drive itself and putting only movies and tv shows on an external hard drive)?

    I'm not sure about how to get iTunes to recognize that my music is in one location (on my MacBook's internal hard drive) and my movies and tv shows are in another (on an external hard drive I purchased).  I know how to make iTunes recognize that all of my iTunes files are on an external hard drive, but not only some of them.  Please help me out.  Thanks.

    While you can do that, it is not a feature of iTunes.  Put your movies on the external drive, then add them to iTunes by dragging the files to iTunes while holding the option (alt) key down so it leaves the files where they are located.  There are other ways to move them if they are already added but they can be more involved and tricky.  If it's just one or two try:  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected

  • ITunes library saved on external hard drive. iTunes on new computer does not recognize.

    Hi, My entire iTunes library (roughly 100gb for iPod Classic) has been saved to an external hard drive. I just built a new computer (Windows 7), and loaded the latest version of iTunes. I have changed the library location in Preferences on both the General tab and the Advanced tab to reflect the location on the external hard drive. The new library location has been saved, but the music on the external hard drive still does not show up in my iTunes library. The only things that show up in my iTunes library are only a few items that have apparently been saved to iCloud (although I never set up an iCloud account - nor do I want one). How do I get iTunes to recognize the external hard drive library instead of the other? Thank you.

    Thanks. Realized something though...on the old computer, Windows XP had a problem (R6034) that prevented iTunes from opening or upgrading.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • What do I need to create a wireless external hard drive?

    Here's the situation. Hubs and I have just combined households. Between us we have a Macbook Pro laptop (10.5.8. mine), an HP laptop (his), a westell router from century link and 3 external firewire/usb hardrves, one of which serves as my time capsule. We also have a wireless printer.
    One of the external harddrives has my tv shows and movies, downloaded from itunes, stored temporarily since my mac is out of space. We'd like to be able to access our external harddrives wirelessly, so that I can move my itunes library and media files to one and access them wirelessly, have my time capsule hooked up permenantly, and so he could access his moies/shows/music on his external hard drive wirelessly.
    What do I need to create a wireless hookup for my external hard drives that is compatible with macs and pcs, and is relatively easy to do (neither of us are particularly tech savvy, but with the right instructions we can do okay)

    That router you have is really not a router. It is a DSL modem that does have rudimentary router with one port.
    What you really need to do is set the westel into Bridged Ethernet mode, that disables the router function in it, and get yourself a good router that has a USB port to connect a USB drive or printer to it. there may be models that have more then one USB port so you could connect multiple devices to the router.
    It isn't hard making these changes but i won't go into it here. For that go to DSLReports.com and look up your ISP and then the FAQs for your ISP. More then likely someone has posted detailed instruction on how to do what I described above for your model Westel modem and your ISP.
    Or follow Csound1's link to a wireless NAS (Network Attached Storage).
    Good Luck.

  • Help with saving movie (external hard drive)

    Hello,
    I am using iMovie for the first time and am converting a VHS tape to DVD. I have a cord going from the VCR to a digital camcorder, in turn going to my iBook for iMovie, and then onto a 150 gig external hard drive that has all 150 gigs available.
    19:56 into the 110-minute long show, I get an error message that says "disc space is dangerously low" - even though exactly 4.0 out of 150 gigs of hard drive space has been used. I deleted the project and started again - and got the same error message 19:56 in, at 4.0 gigs used.
    I tried saving it to my laptop on the third time, and it went past the 19:56 mark and seemed to be going further. However, I don't think I have the necessary space on my laptop and prefer to keep it on the external to do all the work.
    Your help is greatly appreciated. Do know that the project is definitely being saved to the external the first two times, I made that check a couple of times.
    IBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You've failed to format the new external to Mac (HFS+) format.
    It is Windows formatted now and has a 4 GB file size limit (hence stopping at 19:56) during import.
    Disk Utility can format the drive.

  • Create a new bootable hard drive with XP - without CD reader

    All,
       Since couple of years my Satellite CD reader is dead. Most probably an hardware failure, the CDs are spinning but that's all ... unbale to read them at all.
        As the PC is getting slower and slower, I decided to refomat and re_image it.
        As I can't use the CD reader, I have to create the bootable hard drive (with the XP-Home edition provided when I bought the laptop)  using another machine (A DELL or a Toshiba Portege I have also at home).
        For that I remove the hard drive fro, the satellite and put it in the other machine, and then reinstall windows ont it.
        Everything went fine,  untilI plug back the satellite hard drive to its original host (Satellite machine.
        It refuse to boot and stop just after loading the MUP.Sys drivers  (classique as the hardware is diffrent)
       My questions are :
       1. Any way I can create a proper bootable drive for Satellite 5105-S501 in such conditions (any place I can download  an image for it)
       2. I can' enter the BIOS (ESC key do not let me in, F1 and F12 same ...). Any way to force to enter in the BIOS
           ESC key just show me the message : Type F1 for default :_°
    Thanks

    Malcolm:
    Thanks so much for replying to my question! I am new to MAC and have Tiger and Windows XP on separate drives. I will be removing the drive with Tiger and putting in a new drive to load Leopard and I wondered how that would effect accessing Windows XP since the Windows drive will remain in the system. Is there anything I need to do with bootcamp, since Windows was loaded using the Beta version of bootcamp, and bootcamp icon currently shows in the Windows XP taskbar. Tiger was pre-loaded when the computer was purchased. In fact I had to backdate the beta bootcamp version in order to get it to work. I hope this is not asking too much, but I wondered if there would any problem with Windows after the Leopard load.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

  • Where do I find my Bookmrks on a slave hard drive that used to be the main one?

    My old computer motherboard died and I replaced it. I added my old hard drive to the new computer. I want to import the bookmarks to the new set up. Where do I find the Firefox Bookmarks on that old hard drive?
    This will not be C:\\... WRONG HARD DRIVE. It's on the hard drive that was in the old computer.
    Thanks in advance.

    Now you need to go to Bookmarks, show all bookmarks, import and backup, then click on restore and select the json file that you copy
