Reinstalling Windows: Save preferences and settings CC

After hours and hours of trying to diagnose a number of problems with my Windows 8.1, I have finally conceded and is going to be reinstalling a fresh copy of the operating system that you are clean.

I want to know if anyone can tell me how I can save my preferences and settings for my Adobe CC programs so that I can jump the right to use them again as if nothing has changed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I currently use Bridge, Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator and Acrobat.

I would like to know if there is a way to export my workspace and reimport them on the new installation.

I have a few Photoshop plugins I'd like to reimport.

Other valuable parameters should I also know as well.

Thank you for your time.

Hi JayVilla,

Whenever you choose to uninstall an application of Creative Cloud desktop application, you must select the option 'No, keep the app preferences', so that your app preferences keeps when you reinstall.

See the migration presets in Photoshop CC link to migrate your Plugins and other older versions of Photoshop presets.

Kind regards

Assani

How can I reinstall Windows 7 Home and reupgrade to Windows 7 Pro, without going through the installation of operating system diskettes and without having to purchase another upgrade of Windows 7 Pro or the original operating system?

    I would recommend that you create your recovery disk that will allow you to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium:

    Creation Your system with Dell DataSafe Local recovery discs...

    If its damaged, then you will need to request a new set of Dell:

    Request backup discs - welcome to Dell Technical Support

    It allows to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium, then reactivate again Express upgrade. Make sure you have your Windows 7 Professional key on-site. If you do not, make sure that you pick up before the deletion or the format of the player:

  • 2015 CC lost all my preferences and settings - what to do?

    After you install applications 2015, I was appalled to discover that the new Premiere Pro does not have one of the following conditions inherit my version of 2014:

    * App preferences

    * Keyboard shortcuts

    * Custom for effects bins

    * Custom export settings (presets)

    * Personalized workspace layouts

    I tried "sync settings" (download settings from the creative clouds) twice and nothing has changed. Yes, I store my settings in creative cloud and has previously downloaded successfully under CC 2014.

    My machine is a Mac with Mac OS X 10.9.5 Tower.

    All I can do to save my settings? I don't want to have to recreate everything!

    It is a HUGE disappointment, Adobe!

    Thanks for the tip. I thought about it, fortunately.

    The old settings are stored in

    Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/8.0/Profile-CreativeCloud-

    (There is also a folder called 'Profile-[myusername]' but it does not contain my settings).

    So I deleted the useless file

    Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/9.0/Profile-CreativeCloud-

    and copied that of 8.0 in its place. Taking back my preferences, keyboard shortcuts, working space and the effect garbage!

    In addition, I found myself also copy

    [Encoder/8.0/[myAdobeID documents/Adobe/Adobe Media]

    in

    Documents/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/9.0/

    It's just ridiculous that I had to find it myself. Considering that Adobe explicitly had boasted in their announcement that the old preferences and settings will be transferred automatically!

  • I had to reinstall Windows XP again and now him "you have become a victim of software piracy" has appeared.

    Hello

    I had to reinstall Windows XP again and now him "you have become a victim of software piracy" has appeared. I know for sure my code OEM is legal, because I enabled Windows XP on this machine before several times. So I decided to activate the key using msoobe.exe and via the internet.
    Apparently, internet activation is not available (a message code 24579). Of course, I tried the phone activation. Called on the answering machine, type the digits of the ID of the instalation. It don't did me not have any code to write in the fields ABCDEFG. Only that a mistake occurred.  Then I clicked on "Change product key" once asked me to do. Type in the product key. But it was rejected. I answered honestly, machine that I have not any new instalation ID. They said I need to contact the seller, because my key is not genuine... obviously, there is no way that he can help me.
    What should I do now?
    Thank you in advance.
    original title: cannot activate the XP by phone

    The key used here is a Volume that was never issued by Microsoft - license key was generated by the KeyGen tool a hacker.

    If it is key that you tried to activate, so it is no surprise it is rejected.

    If however, you have a valid key for Win XP Pro, you can change the it to this one, using the product key update tool, as Carey said. - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/genuine/product-key

  • Cannot save preferences and select mask question

    I'm unable to use the new 2015,5 Select cc and mask button, I get the error:

    Unable to apply Select the workspace and mask because the disk is not available.

    I've deleted and reinstalled Photoshop 2015.5, when I initially installed it I deleted all previous versions of CC (2014 / 2015), but this has not helped, now, when I'm out photoshop I get the following message is displayed:

    Could not save preferences because the file is locked, you don't have the necessary access permissions or another program is using the file. Use the "Get Info" command in the Finder to make sure that the file is unlocked and you are allowed to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to another file or duplicate in the Finder.

    It's perhaps related?

    I can put in discs from scratch, but because of this error message that appears when closing photoshop and then when I restart all drives are disabled in preferences such as Scratch disks, and I have to choose my discs from scratch once again (which will be then "forgot" the next time I'm out CC because of this error message.

    It's corrected now.

    I went to the FINDER > GO kept the alt/option key in, and then selected LIBRARY and chose LIBRAY > PREFERENCES > CC 2015.5 settings in Adobe Photoshop and then press Command/Apple and letter "I" and selected under sharing, everyone and set to READ & WRITE it was put to custom, and that fixed the two issues "

  • How to reinstall Windows 8 to factory settings?

    I'm trying to reinstall Windows 8 Pro on my computer. The problem is this: I've upgraded to Pro 7 8 and when I go to "reset to factory settings" I get a message saying «some files may be missing, insertion of media» This 'media' am I supposed to insert? I have all my media recovery, I did when I first turned on my computer (Win 7) and I have the drive that the tech helped me to burn my Windows 8 Pro upgrade. Which one should I use? I'm trying to get my computer to where I have nothing on the hard disk, but Windows 8 Pro. In other words, I want a clean, like new, of the machine. Or would it be better to do a custom installation of Windows 7 and wipe all my hard drive, leaving only the installation of Windows 7 and download the upgrade of Windows 8 by using the product key that I bought? Facing a dilemma of folk here! If this thread seems a bit confusing, it's because I'm working on three different machines. I'm not interested in the backup of personal files or media. I just want a 'Clean' install on a single partition, if that's possible.

    If I do as suggested by Abraham, he returns it back to Win 8 or Win 7?

    Then, you do a reset.  Press Win - I, then click Power and hold down SHIFT while you press Restart.  Follow the instructions to reset your computer.  It will take about six hours, but everything will be back to factory settings.

  • All Windows XP Documents and Settings folder names caps

    We use XP in a business environment. Recently, we have noticed that some user in "Documents and Settings" folders on a particular machine have changed randomly to be appointed with all caps. This causes problems with their profiles. What could have caused this?

    In addition, some files have changed to say the username followed by a point and our domain name. Do not know what is happening. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Windows keeps cases in the names of files and folders, but when you access to files and folders, it is case-insensitive (i.e. upper/lower case is not serious).

    Records of the changing profile of user name directly to a username followed by a point and a domain name, on the other hand, comes following a corrupt user profile.  Corrupted user profiles usually occur as a result of (or comes from) the corruption of the file system.  Corruption of system files may result in the capitalization of the problems that you notice.  To recover a corrupted user profile, choose your method of the following:

  • FireFox can be uninstalled and reinstalled without bookmarks, preferences, and losing settings?

    All of a sudden, I am is more directed to my homepage when opening Firefox. All I get is "the address is not valid. Also, when I choose options, new window, new window private and find, I also get the error "the address is not valid.

    I've refreshed Firefox, which did not help, disabled modules, check the updates and open in safe mode, which none helped. I ran various malware and virus scans and empty came to this end.

    I was thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but I'm afraid that I lose my bookmarks, preferences, settings, etc. Any suggestions?

    Yes! This is a good way to replace the Firefox program files without disturbing your settings:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 39.0 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

    (3) to rename the program folder, either:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    The pages "internal" work normally again?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins
