Trouble upgrading from PSE 3.0 to PSE 8.0

I'm getting an unusable format of my ver 8.0 when upgrading from ver 3.0. My 3.0 PHOTO browser is OK but my 3.0 FILE browser is a mess because I moved many files by "getting" pictures and "deleting from catalog" rather than using the FILE browser in Editor. Does ver 8.0 look at the PHOTO browser or the FILE browser when installing. If this is the problem, is there a way to re-initialize or update the ver 3.0 file browser before I install ver 8.0. I'm using Windows XP SP3. I'll appreciate any help. I'm stuck.

I have used Windows Explorer to managemy directories and files for some time. Last night while trying to get a handle on what was happening I found two troubling things. First, adding or deleting categories and sub-categories in PSE 3 Organizer does not add or delete them in the Editor File Browser. Not having used the File Editor for some time I never discovered this. I'm sure that somewhere, early on in my use of PSE 3, I found information that lead me to believed that the two browsers held the same information.
The second thing has also escaped me for some time because I ignored the File Browser. There was a second copy of the Documents folder and the My Pictures folder in the File Browser. These were relics from a long time ago when I had placed shortcuts to both the Documents folder and the My Pictures folder on my desktop because it made it easier to access them. As I grew more familiar with using the program I realized that a shortcut to Windows Explorer was all I needed. So, I sent both the Documents and Pictures shortcuts to the Recycle bin. That, of course, as I found with Categories and Sub-categories, did not remove the short cuts from the File Browser. I was not aware that the shortcuts were still in the File Browser. All of this simply means that when I tried to upgrade to PSE 8 it was confused. When I removed PSE 8 after the bad install things got more scrambled.
I have removed the second copies of Documents and Pictures and am now starting on the, I'm afraid, long process of getting my files in order. It's clear to me why the two browsers didn't agree. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

    How do I upgrade from Photoshop Elements 11 to PSE 12 (student edition)

    I believe you just need to purchase the upgrade.  I don't think there is any additional discount with upgrade pricing, meaning you don't also get a student version discount with an already discounted upgrade purchase.  As far as versions go, there is no difference between a regular and a student version... the difference is in the licensing.

  • Trouble upgrading from 10.3.8 to 10.4.8 on an eMAC

    I just upgraded my OS from 10.3.8 to 10.4.8 and now suddenly my computer is having trouble waking up after sitting for a few minutes. I have to reboot it to get it to wake up. Also the computer will not respond to the "SLEEP" command under the Apple icon. I wondered if there is a firmware update needed but I searched for eMAC firmware updates and came up empty. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi lynnwoodhs;

  • Having trouble upgrading from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3.

    I'm having a problem upgrading my operating system to SL 10.6.3. When I insert the install disc my iMac just rejects the disc without mounting it. My hard drive is not cluttered with applications because I mainly just surf the web. The several times I was able to get the install disc to mount, when I try to install the disc just ejects. I'm having the same problem with the Tiger 10.4 install disc when I try to restart in 10.4 so I can run disc utilities disc repair it ejects even holding down the c key. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. jwgpp

    Hi, not positive, but it sounds like maybe the Optical drive is flaky, but a lomg shot...
    I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterpretable Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • Trouble upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard

    I have a 5 yr old MacBook Pro running Tiger, bought Snow Leopard ($29), was told I could upgrade but I'm not getting proper install screen (the one where you have to check off the "I agree" button, then install, etc).  This is what happens... I pop in the install DVD, a window pops up where I have three options:  1) install Mac OS X, 2) Optional Installs, 3) Instructions.  I double click on "Install Mac OS X", and get another screen with a big "X" that says "Click the button below to restart your computer and begin the installation process", with a "restart" button at the bottom.  When I click "restart", I get an authentication pop up asking me to type in my password.  When I do this, the computer restarts. As the computer restarts, just as it gets to the blue "apple" screen, it spits out the disk. 
    Tried restarting holding down the "C" key, nothing happened. 
    I've got lots of room and all the requirements, checked all that before I bought it. 
    Calling Apple was no help, they said it might be the disk (checked it with "first aid", it's fine) so they're sending me a new one but I doubt it'll make a difference.  I was told it was against their policy to help me through the process as I should have bought Leopard, however if that was still an option I would have bought Leopard first, then Snow Leopard, but I can't get Leopard anymore... don't want to wipe the HD as I no longer have the Install disks that it originally came with. 
    Any help would be appreciated!!  I'm no great techie so "dumb it down" for me...

    Disk - Disc... lol, knew I'd mess something up
    I checked the disc by inserting it into the drive, then going to Utilities > Disk Utility and selecting the Installation DVD disc and then "first aid" to check if it was a bad disc, but it says it's ok.  There were no scratches or anything on the shiny side of the disc and it was a sealed package bought right from the Mac online store. 
    When I go to Utilities > Disk Utilities and select my HD, I get options to "Verify Disk Permissions", "Repair Disk Permissions", and "Verify Disk", but "Repair Disk" button is not selectable... don't know if this means something?
    My MBP has 1 GB RAM, and 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor so not the one with "issues" from what I see... I would not have bought SL if I didn't meet requirements. 
    It wasn't my intention to skip Leopard and go right to SL from Tiger... she was running fine up until a few months ago when I noticed I could only update iTunes and other applications up to a point and now I can't update anything anymore because I need 10.5 or higher.  When I looked into buy Leopard, it was no longer available (nor was the "boxed set" others were recommending).  So now it seems I'm SOL... unless I get it off ebay and I'm not 100% sure buying software from ebay is a great idea.
    I've been scouring the forums and sites for answers as to why I'm not even given the appropriate Install prompt screen... no one seems to know the answer to that... At this point, I may just have to suck it up and bring it into a repair shop and pay 10x the price just to fix my baby...

  • Trouble upgrading from iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 to latest version

    Currently, I am using iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 and want to SAFELY upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto (and I have already upgraded to Lion). I've heard about a lot of lost data when doing this!  I started by trying to install version 9.0.1 it won't load on my hard drive saying that I need to install version 9.0 first.  I thought about just going ahead with iPhoto '11 but I'm confused and don't want to risk losing data.  Any suggstions?

    Make a back up before upgrading anything.
    Somewhat confusing but iPhoto 11 and iPhoto v9 are the same thing. 11 is the marketing name for version 9 of iPhoto - like 09 is the marketing name of version 8 of iPhoto.
    To upgrade to iPhoto 11 (v9) you need to purchase it. You can do this on the App Store.

  • Trouble upgrading from tomcat 3.1 to 4.1

    Hi,
    I have this jsp application running fine with Tomcat 3.1 under W2K and i'm now having trouble having them run on Tomcat 4.1 on the same PC.
    Basically i just renamed the Tomcat 3.1 directory, installed Tomcat 4.1, modified the server.xml file to let it know my application context. which means i did not change any environment variables.
    I get this message when trying to run my application:
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Impossible de compiler la classe pour JSP
    E:\tomcat\work\localhost\MPREPORT\Bcplogon$jsp.java:5: Class or interface declaration expected.
    import javax.servlet.*;

    public class Bcplogon$jsp extends HttpJspBase {
    ^
    2 errors
    Any hints welcome.
    Christophe

    yes the samples are running OK. I just don't see why i have compile problems since i did not modify the Classpath and JDK setup.
    Also this 'import javax.servlet.*;' that can be seen in the error message: i use some import in my code, but not this one. Could that lead to some explanations ?

  • Having trouble upgrading from LR 5.5, build 968504 to Lightroom 5.6

    I have the non-creative cloud, purchased version of LR 5.5, and I am receiving an alert that an update to 5.6 is available.  I have downloaded the update several times, and have tried to run it, but it gives the option of "Repair" or "Uninstall".  When I choose repair, it seems to go through an update routine, but it does not actually update the version to 5.6.  Instead, it remains at 5.5, and I continue to get the "Update" alert.  Any thoughts?

    It sounds like you’re running the 5.5 installer over and over, or already have LR 5.6 installed but maybe the shortcut you’re using is still to 5.5?
    In any case, you can download the LR 5.6 update directly from this page:  ttp://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

  • Error message when trying to upgrade from 10.3.9 to Tiger 10.4.5

    Hope somebody can help. I'm fairly recent to macs as have always built and used pcs. Am having trouble upgrading from current pantherOS to Tiger. Bought emac with upgrade disc provided by seller. Disc was gray labelled emac. Installation went fine and everything was proceeding to point it finished writing files, configuring installation, and running installer scripts and then it quit with message: error installing software. Try reinstalling.
    Tried reinstallation and same thing occurred. then Tried complete erase and new installation. Same error message.
    Came to discussion group searching for something I might be doing wrong. Decided maybe disc was wrong even though it specified emac which is what I am using. Bought generic install disc that would install on any G3/4/5 with minimum specs per hardware which system met.Installation proceeded as it was going to install same as emac disc. This is normal full install disc for generic installation.
    All installations screens came up and installation proceeded to same point as before and then quit with same message: error installing software/ Try reinstalling.
    Have removed ram to original 256MB and tried. No luck. I am using external DVD for installation of DVD and wonder if this is problem but in the forums external DVD seems to work alright. Can reinstall old Panther OS without any problem
    Ran hardware test and everything checked okay.
    Should I just forget about upgrading and use 10.3.9 but would really like to know what is wrong. thanks. Rick

  • Problems upgrading from 10.2.8 to 10.3.9

    I'm having trouble upgrading from 10.2.8 to 10.3.9.. The first install CD won't boot, I get a grey screen and no "blue OS X sign" it just stays grey.. And here is briefly the history of what happened to get me to this point..
    This problem is on an iMac (summer 2000, the one with a slot loader). We (my wife's Mac) got it used and it was running OS 9.0.4 (She) wanted to run 10 and picked up 10.1 on ebay and installed it.. No problems there as 10.1 came with a boatload of system CDs including Classic 9.2.2.
    Then, after awhile and seeing 10.1 was too old for various software on peripherial devices.. I had some Jag 10.2 CDs lying around and we installed that and did a 10.2.8 upgrade.. Now it's time to install 10.3.9 and when it wouldn't install, a friend told us it was a firmware update problem.. Okay I went to the firmware update page for this iMac model and read the instructions.. But one caveat was in order to install a firmware update on an iMac which came with OS 9.0.4 at least 9.1 has to be installed to complete the update.
    Here's the tricky part , and it may sound really weird, but please bare with me; my wife had originally partitioned the 10GB HDD into 3 partitions and 9.2.2 was on one of them.. Sofar so good. I installed 10.2 and then an upgrade to 10.2.8. Then recently she told me that she had DELETED 9.2.2 and intended to install 10.3 on that partition and run 10.2 on the other one.... so she repartitioned the HD into 2 partitions.. with 10.2 on disk 1 and leaving disk 2 completely empty.. So, whew, when we tried to upgrade to 10.3 and nothing happened I thought this may be the cause of the problem.. A missing system.
    I tried in vain to reinstall 9 from the original CDs (by holding down the "C" key) and when I tried to install it the finder coudn't find a volume to install it on. All there was on the screen was the CD icon..
    Maybe I should've done the firmware upgrade before we installed 10.1.. But I didn't know I had to.. So, in anycase, it's now next to impossible to GO BACK to the starting line and reinstall 9.0.4 and do a reworking of the upgrades to 9.1 and 9.2 so I can properly do the firmware update and finally go the distance and install 10.3.9!
    Is everyone confused yet? If not any helpful advice to get me out of this mess would be helpful.
    Rob

    cornellius your post was *Very Helpful.
    I have the installation CDs for 9.0.4, 9.2.2, 10.1 and 10.2..
    I booted from the 9 CD and went to Disk Set Up and "initialised" the HD which placed a HD icon on the desktop. That resulted in a restoration of 9.0.4.. But I can't download the update, my DSL modem won't work with OS 9 minimum is 10.2. A little thing I forgot. Then I installed 9.2 since you can only do online firmware updates from 9.1 or higher.. I assume higher means 9.2.2.
    I read on this support's firmware update page that if you boot from OS X (10.1 or 10.2?) and go to the menu and Disk Utilities on the installer CD you can get firmware updates there.. I booted from 10.1 and could not see how to do that. But, as you suggested, I can "Erase Disk" and "Install OS 9 Drivers," i.e., "Classic" (check box) and go from there.. I can do this with 10.2 as well.. Same procedure same result.. 10.2 will be installed with 9.2.2 running in the background.
    But whether the firmware updates happen I'm not sure. As I stated above, this iMac had gone through two OS X upgrades, 10.1 then 10.2 and as I said somehow the Classic partition, 9.2.2, was deleted making it impossible to start up from OS 9. But I know once Classic is reinstalled with 10.2, I can do the firmware update.. and eventually install Panther.. Panther is a minimum requirement for iSale and, increasingly, other Mac software and the wife bought iSale to organize her ebay auctions.. so Panther it is.
    Well this sounds like a hurry and wait or wake up and go to sleep situation.. Larry, Moe and Curly couldn't do a better job than I'm doing..
    Thanks for your help,
    Rob

  • Nothing but trouble upgrading to PSE 13 from 10

    Tried to uninstall 10 and received an error.  Error 1316. The specified account already exists.  Then I installed Elements 13 and license manager error messages popped up saying to install new version.  Went to install new version and that errors out.  Now Elements 13 does not work.  This software is hosing my entire system.  Cannot say enough bad things about it.  Shame on Adobe.  How can I get this junk off my system?

    same problem upgrading from 10 to 13 can't uninstall 10 and 13 does not work right in any way shame on adobe a waste of money

  • Tag issue when upgrading from PSE 7 to 11

    I've upgraded from PSE 7 to 11 and the tags for people, while there, do not appear in the "people" section fo PSE11. Any suggestions on how to get them all to show?

    In PSE11, people tags have been moved to People view, this view contains all people tags along with categories. In case you want to view them along with tags panel, it can be enabled through View->Show People in Tag panel.

  • Best way to upgrade from PSE 5.0 to PSE 8

    I have installed, as an administrator, PhotoShop Elements 5.0, for a user.  I wan to upgrade that to PhotoShop Elements 8.
    What is the best way to do this?
    When I did this several years ago, going from PhotoShop Album 2.0 to PSE 5.0 it was suggested to do this, which I did: 
    I backed up the catalog through the menu option in PhotoShop Album.  Uninstalled PhotoShop Album, Installed the new PhotoShop Elements 5.0.  Restored the catalog.  This worked perfectly fine.  Is this a good route to go for an upgrade from PSE 5 to PSE 8?  Is there a better way?
    Thanks for any tips.
    Mark Miesfeld

    Thanks for the quick response.
    The user on this system mostly uses PhotoShop Elements 5.0 to orgainize her photos.  I don't think she does much editing of the photos.  She has over 20,000 photos.
    I thought that upgrading ti PSE 8 would give her better performance.  But, I now see several reviews saying that the orgainizer performance in PSE 7 and PSE 8 is worse.
    Do you have any comment on that?
    Thanks again.
