I realize that sign-out on the old machine is all that is required to sign-in on a new one. But when using the Mac Migration Assistant to move to the new machine, it is well known that Adobe CC products don't work well with migration. It doesn't let you pick and chose which programs to migrate, so it is recommended to uninstall Creative Suite programs from the old machine before running the Migration Assistant.   The question remains - why does uninstalling require updating first? ...

I guess I am confused as to what you are trying to select, and what is "grayed out". Your master page should appear something like below, with the page number markers appearing as a letter based on the Master Page name.  If by "earlier Chapters", you mean other documents, Master pages only apply to the document they are in (although they can be synced across Book documents. ...

You can use a path with a gradient applied to add the color to your shape. First make the path, and make sure it's wider than the widest part of your shape.

There may be a way to script this, but I am sadly not versed in writing scripts. Here is another reason to upgrade - as of CC2015.4, there is the ability to sort swatches by color values. With that, you could sort, then select swatches with matching values and merge them. ... View more

Under Window > Styles, there is a Paragraph Styles panel. It can save all attributes that can be applied to full paragraphs. One easy way to start is to format a paragraph in the way you would like, and then begin a new Paragraph style with your text cursor in the formatted paragraph. This way, the style panel will automatically be populated with the settings that match the paragraph you already formatted. If you set one up this way, be sure to check the Apply Style to Selection box. If you want to format individual words or phrases within a paragraph, Character Styles can be used. They override the paragraph style in the places where they are applied.  You can set up Object styles as well.  It's good practice to do all of your formatting with styles, and avoid manual overrides.  This is the way to keep your document consistent, and make global changes easily. ...
