Converting PSE Win to PSE Mac with saved keywords

Tried several times for three years to go from PSE Win 6 to 9, then to PSE 9 Mac. At that time intstructions used to say to save keyword tags to slide files before backup, then restore on Mac. Could never get this to restore on Mac. Has this been solved with later versions?

Thanks so much. I think I did this all right, because at least one of the times an Adobe tech did it from scratch logged in to my computer. (It is a Mac with Parallels/Windows, and PSE 6 and 9 on that, so all versions actually on one box) And the Mac PSE 9 is on the Mac. The Adobe instructions a while back said to do a save keyword tags to slide files first, then backup, then move to the Mac and restore.
So just so I am clear finally, are you saying I don't have to do this save tags process first? In which version? And my keywords will come with the catalog? Is this due to some software upgrade? I didn't see anything in a recent search.
Thanks once again. My new years resolution (before new years) is to be able to one again use this. All my slides, all my keywords.

Printing from win XP to Mac with Epson HELP!

ok deep breath!
I have the EPSON CX6600 attached via usb to My G4 Powermac. I want to be able to print from XP to the printer . .
I've tried EVERYTHING! setting up is easy XP see's the printer wheather via Bonjour or CUPS, brilliant!! I print, it goes though and appears on the Mac in the printer jobs box . . nice! but (you knew there was a but didn't you!) its goes through without printing!! it tells me its printed and the job is done, but, it didn't, I know, because the printer didn't even hum, didn't light up and dance for me . . .I'm going mad, I need a solution!! HELP!!

I'm having the same trouble with my Epson RX500 - changing the driver to Apple Color Laser didn't help. I can print a test page, but when I try to print a document, the printer blinks once and then stops, and the Print Center says the job was printed.
The really frustrating part is that it worked fine a few days ago using the HP color laser driver!

Had pse 8 on a Windows 7 PC with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If install pse 12 or Lightroom on the Mac will I be able to use the old catalog backup or must I start from scratch.

If you made a full catalog backup using the organizer's backup command, and you did it to a removable drive, yes, you can restore it to the mac. A backup made on discs will not work, though.

Hello alltogether! I use PSE 7 on my PC with windows XP and now want to change to a new Mac with the newest version PSE . Is it possible to move all my albums and tags to that new version? Thank you very much for your kind answers! Candyapple111

1. Install PSE 11 in windows, upgrade your catalog, then make a full backup to a removable drive, like a usb drive, using the organizer's back up command. If you buy the boxed version you get discs for both platforms.
2. Install PSE on the mac.
3. Restore the backup to the mac. Point the restore to the .tly file in the folder, not the enclosing folder.

PSE 8 Licensing problem on Mac with OSX 10.8.4

Hi,
Trying to edit some Aperture pics with my PSE 8 on my Mac with OSX 10.8.4 the following messge appeared:
Then found I could not open PSE independently of Aperture (version 3.4.5) - and kept getting the same message each time.
Not sure of the current state of my PSE 8 but my Applications Folder shows me the following:
So far as I am aware my PSE * has been kept fully updated using the Mac's automatic updater.
I have had this PSE * since new, just after its first appearance and registered it with Adobe immediately.
It has worked fine but my latest experience may be the first time of use since updating to Mac OSX 10.8.4. Not sure.

Barbara B,
Thanks for your response to my cry for help. I do not understand what is going on with this "Licensing has stopped working..." business but I have tried to implement the solutions you offered without any success. My attempts are detailed below:
Solution 1: Could not find FlexNet Publisher folder by the method shown.
Solution 2:
Found and deleted the Flexnet Publisher folder.
Downloaded the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool ( = LicenseRecovery 111.dmg)
Run License Service Update (bearing in mind this is intended for MacOSX 10.7 and not 10.8 which is my system), as follows:
Double clicked this 111.dmg to get Volume (folder) LicenseRecovery 11.6.1 and opened the folder to locate LicenseRecoveryLauncher.
Got to Terminal and opened it.
Typed sudo python with end space and dragged LicenseRecoveryLauncher app in and hit Return.
(Was not sure at all what was meant by the" path to the APP file").
Text and Password: appeared. I tried to enter my password but the screen remained totally unresponsive.
I hit return and tried to enter my password again - but no characters appeared as before. Hit Return and text appeared seeming to indicate some error. (I have no idea what is going on - the use of Terminal is totally strange to me.)
Cleared all from terminal using Edit and tried all this a second time with the same result. A screen shot is attached.
Hence had to abandon Solution 2.
At this point I saw the further solutions and decided I was not competent to use these and so suspended my attempt to get my Photoshop Elements 8 running again while I consulted Adobe further for a more user friendly approach.
I do not know if there is any other approach you can offer to make my PSE8 come to life again which does not involve a more detailed knowledge of computer management than I possess but I should like to know, in simple terms just what has gone wrong with my PSE8 that stops me using it.
Could you please answer my questions below?
Is the "Licensing" thing a problem with Adobe or with Apple or with a third party?
If the License is something issued by Adobe on original purchase, cannot Adobe simply issue me with a new license?
Do I have to buy a later version of PSE in order to use it again - and if so what guarantees do I have that the same problem will not arise in a few years' time?
Best regards,
Reg Phillips

Standard Picture Packages using PSE 10 with a Mac.

I am unable to print out a standard picture package using PSE 10 with a Mac. I like to print 3 4" X 6" Pic Package with different images. It is impossible. I had a PC and Elements 8 before with no problem. I followed all the help instructions to no avail. What can I do?

With Mac, I am unable to find a 3 4" X 6" (example) picture package in PSE 10 Edito
File>Picture Package>choose 8x10 for the working area and you should see:
Then go up to the top and choose an image. It will appear in all the zones. Just click a zone in the preview to change to another image. It's actually a more robust package than in organizer--you can save it as a file, for one thing, instead of having to recreate it each time. All printing in the mac version happens from editor, so that's where they put the picture package and contact sheet. You can also create and save custom layouts via the Edit Layout button. This is the same picture package and contact sheet that came for many years in PS, so if you look for PS tutorials (pre-CS6) you should be able to find very detailed instructions.

Problem converting pse 6 catalog to pse 7

I am a longtime pse user, I started with Album. I have photos from a trip that I had in pse 6 on my laptop that I want to get into pse 7 on my desktop. I have not found a lossless way to merge catalogs in pse so I have three catalogs. I successfully converted my desktop catalog from pse 5 to pse 7 with no problems. I backed up two catalogs under pse 6 on my laptop and restored them to my desktop system. I tried to covert each one but the conversion failed. I found that I had two eSATA drives with the same volume ID so I backed up my desktop catalog (the photos resided on one of the drives) and reformatted one drive. Pse was still confused so I reformatted the other drive as well. Pse 7 now runs fine for my former pse 5 desktop catalog which I’ll call catalog A. I restored the first of my pse laptop catalogs, I’ll call it catalog B, and after multiple attempts got it to convert by restoring it with pse 7, the automatic conversion after the restore was successful. I did the same with the remaining pse 6 backup file, call it catalog C, restoring it with pse 7 but the conversion failed. I did catalog repair but it found no errors, did ‘repair anyway’. Convert failed again. I optimized it, convert failed again. I checked the convert log and it says the catalog copy failed. The log showed that pse tried to copy the catalog to the location of my photos for catalog A to a file named the same as my catalog C name. The last line in the log is - caught exception "catalog copy failed". This implies to me that it never got far enough to encounter a ‘poison file’.
I have run out of ideas and any help would be appreciated. My last choice option is to use ‘get photos’ to get the catalog C photos into catalog B to get everything running under pse 7 rather than under multiple products.
I am going to make another forum entry but it may matter here that the catalogs of catalog B and C are in the same directories that I restored their photos to and are only found when I ask to find ‘custom location’ directories. The psedbtool program never sees them.

I created a new folder ‘Black Sea and Spitsbergen CATALOG’ and moved the catalog and thumbnail files to it. Pse 6 opened it and displayed the thumbnails faster than usual. When I do the catalog option Black Sea and Spitsbergen CATALOG shows as the current catalog. I did the reconnect all missing files and got the no missing files message. Did the repair catalog and got the no errors message did repair anyway. No errors found, I did the reconnect again, no missing files. I closed pse 6. Opened pse 7 file>catalog>convert>find more catalogs and pointed to the folder ‘Black Sea and Spitsbergen CATALOG’.
Pse found the catalog, I highlighted it and clicked on convert. I got the conversion completed successfully message! Clicked OK>done>open and the converted catalog opens. Catalog manager now shows both catalogs under the Custom Location radio button, fantastic! I did a reconnect and got the no missing files message.
Ok; so I think I learned the following:
1)      The current catalog name is determined by the name of the folder it resides in.
2)      The catalog and thumbnail files need to be in the same folder.
3)      It works better if the catalog and thumbnail files are in a separate folder from the pictures. I suspect performance is improved because it finds the thumbnail file faster; I have 21,000 photos in the catalog.
I suspect this could also solve my catalog move problem because pse may be moving the contents of the folder where the catalog resides. I am going to try it, will post the result under that discussion.
If you would be kind enough to confirm the above three points I would appreciate it. I will keep this open for your reply.
Thank you again, it seems simple now that I understand a bit more, thanks for your time and for sharing your knowledge.

Convert Adobe Illustrator CS6 Win license into Mac license

Dear All,
some time ago I've purchased Adobe Illustrator CS5 as well as CS6 upgrade Win. Now I converted from Windows 7 to Mac OS X Maverics.
On the page "My Products and Services" along with the serial numbers the Adobe Illustrator CS5 and CS6 Upgrade have as platform in both cases "Win" instead of "Mul". How can I get the "Mac" versions in conjunction with these Serial numbers?
I'm aware that it is still possible to run the Windows versions within Parallels 10 (Windows Emulation within Mac OS X), but I think this is no good solution.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Best Regards,
Waveguide

Waveguide,
I am afraid this is a matter to discuss with Adobe.
You may try to have a chat here, at least for a start:

PSE - Mac Camera Raw 6 installed- but 5.5 comes up

I have a Mac and PSE 8. I installed camera raw 6 in the proper place - but when I open a NEF file the camera raw version showing is 5.5.
Has anyone gotten ACR 6 to work on a Mac with PSE 8?

You are talking about PSE and not bridge, right?
How did you install it? It sounds like you failed to remove the old plugin first. You must use the PSE version of the plug-in (not the auto-installing PS version) and despite the instructions, you have to move the old version out of the folder before putting the new one in.
Yes, 6.1 does work, so that's not the problem.

Converting PSE 4 catalog to PSE 7 catalog

I have several slideshows I put together in PSE 4 before saving them as wmv files to take over to Premiere Elements 2 to add a menu and burn to DVD. I had problems doing this and have just installed PSE 7 so I can save them as avi files instead but I am unable to find the original slideshows in the PSE 7 catalog. I did a search in Program Files for My Catalog and found the PSE 4 one but I'm not sure where to find the PSE 7 one, or how to move them over. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1. When I did the catalog conversion in May, many of my tags and tag categories were missing or rearranged. Is there something I need to do in converting my PSE 4 catalog to 7 to prevent this from happening?
The conversion process is pretty buggy. Make sure you do File > Catalog > Recover in PSE 4 before attempting conversion. If that doesn't work, see steps 2 and 4 of this FAQ:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Problems_converting_cat alogs
2. Now that I have re-installed 7, the old catalog I converted in May is still there. I need to delete this PSE 7 catalog in its entirety and reconvert my current PSE 4 catalog. When I try that, I get an error message that says "My Catalog already exists - use another catalog name". How do I get rid of the version 7 catalog from May?
You can delete the old catalog by doing File > Catalog, selecting My Catalog, and clicking Remove.
3. PSE 4 gave me the choice of showing my photos in either date sequence or in file name sequence within each folder. Does PSE 7 have the same ability to display in file name sequence? If so, I can't find it.

I take it that you have installed PSE13 on the same computer. Did you notice the dialog prompting you to 'convert' the previous catalog? If you have agreed, the old catalog (containing the albums definitions) has been converted to the PSE13 format, and you get your old albums from that catalog. If you have not agreed, it's still time to do so. Open the catalog manager in PSE13; then click on the 'convert' button. Select the old catalog from the list and convert.

Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
Heading Import Results
Some import operations were not performed
Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
then a description of the image with file name
Box Save As Box OK
If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
Thanks if you can can help out.

Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

Save for web - animated gif problem PSE (Mac)

Trying to save an animated gif using Save for Web dialogue box...
works fine, except checkbox "Loop" and delay rate drop down box are highlighted (active) but can't be changed
anyone know reason / fix?

No fix, alas. This has been a problem in the mac version since PSE 6. If your gif is small, you can duplicate layers so that they appear to stay onscreen longer, but the best advice is to not use PSE/mac for this, unfortunately.

Reinstall Mac OS X Lion with saving data

Hello, I want to reinstall Mac OS X Lion with saving my programms, docs and photos. What should I do then? I know that Time Machine backups data with the system. But Ineed to backup my files and then on clear system I want to restore this backup. Please reply with the steps which should I do. And where should I download original Mac OS X Lion image?
PS I bought MacBook Pro with pre-installed Lion.
Thanks in advance.

Yes there is/are.
Removing and rebuilding a malfunctioning Recovery HD partition « Der Flounder
By the way it is NOT self deleting. Something deleted it, you or something else.
Just to check open Terminal and type diskutil list then hit the enter key. If there is an entry for "Apple_Boot Recovery HD" of 650MBs then you do have a recovery HD partition.
Once you recreate the Recovery HD I would do one of 2 things, or both of them.
1) Use the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant to create a USB thumb drive of the recovery HD file. that way you will always have a way to boot your Mac and do maintenance or Reinstall Lion.
2) follow this link

If you do # 2 you can forget about # 1. But me being me I have both.
