InDesign :: CS5.5 Won't Launch After Migration To New Mac
Feb 8, 2014
In my main user profile, InDesign will start to open and crap out after initializing Plug-ins. No error is reported. When I log into a test user account, I'll at least get this error, "InDesign quit unexpectedly":
I've tried trashing preferences and restarting, but no luck. My guess is I need to reinstall, but can't find a CS5.5 installer to download (the suite was bought via download originally). I'm not interested in upgrading to CC.
Just installed CS5.1 a couple of weeks ago. Runs no problem in 64 bit. But 32 bit is a different story..In Mac, Get info, and set CS5 to open in 32 bit, CS5 launches an instantly freezes with the spinning beach ball.I can't do anything expect force quit.Mac Pro, 8 core, 10 GB ram, OS 10.5x
I need to be able to run in 32 bit for plug-ins that are not 64 bit.
if anyone could shed any light on issues that might crop up with the following situation:
A few years back, we had a Mac G4 and did all our (largely Photoshop) work on this, backed up on Mac format CDs. Then our new employer forced us to switch to PC (for compatibility with the other designers) and I spent ages going through each of our CDs, resaving them as PC format.
We had an application called Extensis Portfolio 6.0 which we used on the Mac to catalogue all of our images across the hundreds of CDs, but the PC people were using Canto Cumulus, so I dutifully created a new catalogue in Cumulus and spent ages entering the back catalogue.
My question, then, is can the Mac version of Cumulus read the PC created catalogue file, and will there be any incompatibilities (in naming format, etc.) in cataloguing both PC and Macintosh format image CDs?
Also, are there any more general issues that may crop up from a large scale conversion from PC to Mac? I think I can sort out email, but I'm worried that, say, Office XP files won't work in Office:Mac, or the Silverfast 6.0 software we use to scan with our Epson 1680 is inferior in the Mac version somehow.
we are planning to migrate from windows xp to windows 7 64 bit. Is there are chance to deploy a migration script to backup the user settings from xp and import them to windows 7. Copying the files from %appdata% is not a good solution because if the program was never started before the Autocad product will start a repair for user settings and so the files and settings are deleted.
I need a method for more than 100 pcs so using the implemented export and import tool is not possible.
I got 2011 version about 20 minutes ago - any tips for a hard core 2005 version user? Other that I have to install VBA as it's no longer part of tha package. Settings probably migrated OK.
I am migrating to a new computer (iMac). how do I do this without losing the captions and other information, as well as albums I have created? I already did the migration of the photos to the iMac. I do not know how to setup the PSE10 library on the iMac (already installed). should i use iPhoto?
Also, I have a large number of photos and considering whether I should have 1 catalog or multiple? I organize my photos by trip or year depending... each folder can have over 1000 photos in it. I experienced very sluggish performance on the PC and I only had a couple of folders...
I recently upgraded from LR4 to 5. When I opened LR5 it asked to convert my LR4 catalog. That all went well, I thought. Once completed, I created my Flickr published services connector. How do I now tell LR5 that I have previously published photos to Flickr in LR4 so that I do not have to republish those 1000+ photos? If I were to do that, then I'm afraid all comments will be lost, etc.
When I started LR4 the first time it offered to migrate my LR3 (3.6) catalog. I accepted and it seemd to work fine. I now opened an older collection and noticed that all my markers (accepted, rejected, unmarked) have disappeared.
Could you tell me or give me a link to the procedure to migrate the materials library. I have a materials library that I created in 2012 and I would like to migrate it to 2013.
We recently upgraded from 2012 to 2013.I set up a task in Task Scheduler to migrate one of our working folders to migrate to the new version.When I open a part or any other file from that migrated folder and save it I get the attached message.
The message states the file has been migrated. Why do I need this messge? Or has the file been migrated?
We have always made extensive use of File Linking our Autocad (2009) models into 3dsmax. I seem to have found a stability issue when migrating from a Max2012 scene that includes a file linked Autocad file to Max2013.
When you Reload the linked file with 'Show Reload Options' ticked, and then click on the Advanced tab and then on 'Select Layers to include...', Max will crash. It seems to do this every time.
This only seems to happen with Max scenes that have begun in Max2012.
I have just upgraded from C3D 2011 to C3D 2013. I know it should be simple to copy my custom CUI file from one release to another, but somehow I'm missing it. In 2013, I open Workspace/Customize, then swith to the Transfer tab (right sofar?). In the pull down, I choose Open. Now at this point, I think I should just browse for my 2011 CUI file, but for some reason, I can't find it. If I search my C drive, I still can't find it. With 2011 open, in Workspace, the name of the CUI that I use is "Randy", so I'm assuming the file name to search for would be randy.cui.
Any easy way to change the letter (D:) or the path of a disk containing photos without having to do for each folder (> 500) a manual search of the new path ?
I am currently doing a migration of files to 2014. During the migration, does windows active window you are working in deactivate while the Task Scheduler is running? Trying to type an email got a bit annoying. Minimizing the Task Scheduler will only work some of the time.

I am looking at moving from controlling my Styles in template files into a Style Library. So how exactly would I best do this? Create a new Style Library in the Style Library Manager, set it in "Style Library 1" (this makes the new Style Library "active", yes?), open my template files, and under the Manage tab, "Save" the document styles to the new Style Library? Should I then delete my Document Styles from the template?
When you get a new release of Inventor, how do you generally go about pushing your Style Library into the new release? Do you just copy-paste the old Style Library from the old release "Design Data" folder into the new release "Design Data" folder? Do you start a new Style Library in the new release, compare to the old Style Library, and push the old into into the new?
I re-organized my PC. Now, I have all of my photos on my "C" drive. They used to be on another drive. After importing from my old catalog, I lost all of my develop work. My photos are all unchanged from when I imported them as raw files from my camera.Here are the steps that I did:
1. Export the 3.4.1 catalog 2. Format the hard drive and re-install Windows 3. Install a fresh version of Lightroom 4.4 4. Import from my 3.4.1 catalog ("Import from another catalog")
I have to migrate from a windows pc to a mac. I have already installed Lightroom 4.4 on the new mac book pro. How can I manage the migration without loosing all my Catalogs, photos, templates, and all the work done on my photos with Lightroom? Which files do I have to paste and copy in my new mac? Do I have to do some other operations before (backup or other?)
We've finally nibbled the bullet and upgraded to 2014. I'm getting errors in the Task Scheduler logs about missing files in various projects. It would appear that (almost) without exception, the failed files are all Content Center parts that were inserted as custom parts. Do I need to run a migration on the Content Center parts (Inventor/ContentCenter Files/R2013/en-US) in order for the custom parts to migrate properly?
I would like to express my dismay at hearing that exchange content is being migrated to "social networks". While I have no problem with this, per se, this will restrict access for the majority of users who cannot access Twitter, Facebook and Youtube at work which is when they are likely to need the content most.
As a matter of interest how many of you have access to these networks at work (from your laptop/PC not via smartphones, tablet devices etc).

I copied my catalog from Windows 7 PC (along with all photos) to a new iMac OXS 10.8. Installed Lightroom 4.3 on the iMac (with photos and catalog in same relative locations as previously in the photos folder)
In the Lightroom library on the iMac, all my photos have an exclamation mark in the top corner, and when opening any of them, I get a comment suggesting metadata is in conflict.The actaul metadata in the photos looks fine.Is there a global command with which I can cancel these exclamation marks?
I have lists of Documents I am altering and saving automatically in a loop, The problem is that if the file needs to be migrated you get a dialog box in your face for every file in the list. How can I temporarally turn the dialog off?
I migrated from AC3D 2010 32-byte to AC3D 2012 64-byte recently. When I migrate my projects to 2012 and open the old 2010 drawings in 2012 I lose the surface lines out of my section sets. It doesn't seem to bother the profile views, only the section views.
Is there a way to work around this problem w/o having to regenerate the section views?
I have been migrating dozens and dozens of .pat files from one version of AutoCAD to the next for many, many versions. Most recently in AutoCAD 2013 the .pat files were stored in the C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD 2013SupportPatterns - worked fine. During the migration to 2014 I received an install error report stating that this subdirectory did not exist and could not be created. Alternately it stated that the new default path C:UsersUsernameAppDataRoamiongAutodesk|AutoCAD 2014R19.1enuSupport will be used instead.
At first I created the Patterns subdirectory where it could not be done automatically. No luck. Then I placed the Patterns subdirectory in C:UsersUsernameAppDataRoamiongAutodesk|AutoCAD 2014R19.1enuSupportPatterns and no luck.
I have photoshop CS4 and when I try to open it it shows error message 148:3 and won't open.What should I do about this? What does that error code mean?
I have a fully activated copy of Photoshop CS6 64-bit and it has been working fine up until this week. I attempted to launch it earlier today. All that happens is the computer indicates its reading the harddrive then just stops and nothing happens. Further clicking on the shortcut brings up the loading indicator for 2 seconds and then nothing happens.
After consulting the internet, I discovered it could be a GPU driver issue. I checked for an update, installed it, restarted and still no luck.I also booted into safe mode to see if a program was conflicting with it, Photoshop wouldn't launch there either.
