Canuck Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Hey guys, I finally decided to do my update and started on my new PC with a fresh download of CA Premier X10. when it finished it was noted that none of my templates and bonus cats downloaded. Can some one tell me how to down load these manually? I've already tried the help - download - update way and got nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Canuck Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Old system is a pile of smoking parts now. I guess I'm starting from scratch. Not the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Typically those are installed fresh but x10 has the ability to migrate them as an option during install. Perhaps that was accidentally left on and since there was nothing to migrate that's what you got? Guessing but I'd uninstall reinstall and make sure it wasn't set to migrate.

Canuck Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Guess, that's my only avenue at this point Mark. Sounds like a tomorrow thing as the clock says it's "Beer O'Clock" here on Vancouver Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 If you can connect your old hard drive in new system you could copy files from it. There is hardware you can buy to do it or if its compatible you can put it in one of the drive slots and wire it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have a Backup "in the Cloud" or on an external drive of the Chief Data Folder in My Documents ( and your plan Files if not kept there) then your only hope is accessing the HDD from the old system as mentioned. If you do have a backup you will also be able to save your User Catalog too from the Library.

Canuck Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Solid advice Mick. I realised last night, well duh, I have X9 on my lap top , I'll just down load the information from it. I guess the answer was too obvious.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
