Are captions and tags in backup when reloading after a computer crash?

I have Adobe photoshop 11. I have backed up my photos in an external hard drive and also on carbonite. If my computer crashes and I need to reload my photos back onto my computer will the captions and tags still be there? I was wondering because when I just look at my photos on the hard drive it does not look the captions are there. Is there a special way to save them so they are there?

If you use the backup command in the organizer file menu, all your media files will be saved, as well as the catalog which contains all the information about your media files : their location (path), exif camera data, your tags, captions etc. The restore command in the organizer will let you recover everything where you want to (same computer or not).
If you are using any other external backup solution, only your media files will be saved, not the catalog and its data, unless you also backup the catalog; it's a folder containing the database and associated files. You find its location in the Help, System Info menu.
You could also use the file menu of the organizer to 'save metadata to files', which would write the tags and captions in the header of the files themselves. If you reimport those files in the organizer, tags and captions will be recovered.

Converting from Photoshop v.1 to a current version and retaining captions and tags

I have Photoshop Version 1 running under Microsoft XP. The computer died. I need to move my pictures and equally importantly the tags and captions that have have been attached to the pictures. I have downloaded Photoshop Elements 9 and I have been told that they will not support Version 1. I can move the pictures without any difficulty, but not the captions nor the tags. I also downloaded Photoshop 3.0 starter edition and the captions will come over, but not the tags. I have all the pictures, the catalog file and the thumb file backed up before the computer crashed. I do have access to another XP machine that I can load the older Photoshop Version 1 and restore my pictures, then can I can backup these files and imbed the captions and tags in the individual pictures? Your help and suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Uh, are you sure you have Photoshop v.1?
The first version of Photoshop that ran on Windows was Photoshop 2.5.
Are you talking about Photoshop Elements? This is the "Photoshop" forum...you'll want to post in the "Photoshop Elements" forum...

Am I able to use a federal employee discount and student discount together when buying a new computer?

Am I able to use a federal employee discount and student discount together when buying a new computer? I work for the government, but am also a full time student at a university. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with that and knew if you were allowed to do this?

No. Since I have friends working at Apple, I can get an employee discount. Since I'm also attending school in Asia, do you think I can get an employee discount AND a student discount?

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

MacBook Pro 2011- Allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think). After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle.

I have a MacBook Pro 2011. I allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think). After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle. No progression bar ever appeared. It just sits and spins. I tried rebooting with Command + Option + R + P and hearing the chime twice....this did not work.
I also tried Command +Option+R which took me to internet recovery. From there, I chose reinstall Mac OS X Lion 10.7 but it says my hard drive is locked so I wasnt able to select it. What do I do???? Help! I don't want to lose my files and it doesnt appear that I've used Time Machine Back Up.

I you upgraded to OS X 10.8, then use RecoveryHD by holding Command R at boot time (no option) and reinstall OS X over itself that way so your installing Mountain Lion.
Also Disk Uility can be used to Repair the Macintosh HD parttion.
Also you can use that RecoveryHD to format and install OS X onto a external drive, then option/alt key boot from it and access your files on the non-booting internal drive before erasing, reformatting and reinstalling OS X fresh.

PSE 8 - Archive on external hard drive including captions and tags

I started my above discussion some time ago with Mark and due to the lateness in my responding the case appears to have been closed. However I am hoping that someone can comment on my intended course of action, see below, based on his suggestions?
Just recapping having successfully migrated my Photoshop Album 2 catalog including captions across to PSE 8 and now my objective is to move my entire PSE 8 catalog to an external hard drive leaving only thumbnail view to remain. Obviously I am anxious to avoid any catastrophe and therefore would appreciate comment on the correctness of the steps involved. I have arrived at these by simply modifying Mark's original steps. Please correct where necessary.
1) Connect my external hard drive where I want to copy the files too. Make sure I can 'see' it in Explorer
2) Open Photoshop Elements 8; click the Organize button on the Welcome screen
3) Displayed in my welcome screen is my entire catalog with each album matching in title and file (photo) content to the folder title and file (photo) content in the folder location displayed to the left of screen.
4) Go to the File menu, and select 'Write Keyboard Tag and Propertise Info to Photo'. In my case most but not all files (photos only) will have tag and caption data. Rather than attempting to select the files that I wish to embed tag and caption metadata does Organiser have a global 'search and embed instruction' so that when it gets a 'match' on .jpg number it will embed automatically?
5) After completion, I go to the File menu, and select 'Copy/Move to Removable Disk...' click the MOVE button to move the files from their current location to my nominated external hard drive.
6) Click the Next button, and select the external drive in order to copy the files to the drive.
Can you confirm?
* On completion of the above steps my external hard drive will allow access to full resolution versions of the file from Photoshop Elements including any existing caption or tag data organised identically to my PSE 8 catalog (only one catalog)?
* Am I correct in assuming that also all original photos from my laptop will be removed and if not can be deleted given their existence on my external hard drive?
* Is the data which now resides on the external hard drive capable of being read on any other PC which may not have Elements software?

I have 2 laptops an aging Dell and new HP. I have successfully followed your
instruction and deleted 1 & 2 below on both.
The Dell PSE 8 now has:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PSE 8 (240Mb)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements Organizer 8.0 (502Mb)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.EXE (1.17Gb)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\ PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.7Z (1.06Gb)
Giving a total of 2,972Gb
The HP PSE 8 has:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PSE 8 (240Mb)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements Organizer 8.0 (502Mb)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.EXE (1.17Gb)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\ PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.7Z (1.06Gb)
But a total of 3,894 and I am unable to identify where the additional 1Gb
resides. In Documents & Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements
Organizer is 120Mb. I have attempted to delete this but lost the catalog in
the process so had to restore from the Recycle bin and it now appears to
have reconnected correctly. Frankly I can live with these large file sizes
but would like an opinion on their potential adverse impact at sometime in
the future.
I am not sure whether I need to start a new thread for "Are there any known
bugs in PSE 8 surrounding the burning of discs" I have attempted to burn
onto a new CD-RW my slideshow. The process of burning appeared to work but
the written to CD does not play on the DVD. I have also saved the slideshow
as a PDF. I can't recall exactly how but in selecting an incorrect option I
no longer have visibility of projects in 'Folder View'. The projects are a
single slideshow and PDF copy of the same. How do I regain visibility?

When is Modbus.ini loaded and can you force to reload after?

To effectively complete the Modbus disable task with the modbus.ini file entry "SkipImmediatePoll=1" and a high poll-rate time and/or a poll value of false, I need to know when the modbus.ini settings are loaded, and whether I need to restart any process with modbus objects, modify any running modbus object, restart lookout....etc. Also, can I force a reload programmatically? (suggestions welcome)
Ed

Review/Clarification for all those interested.
I need a way to turn modbus device communication on and off within a running process, to avoid wasteful computer resources timing out on communication with disabled Modbus client devices.
So we can enable "skipimmediatePoll" for [Modbus_X] in the Modbus.ini file and then set a very long poll-rate on tag Modbus_X. This, so far is the best way to minimize the lag at process startup so that working devices get polled much sooner.
Why I ask if the Modbus.ini file is parsed whenever a Modbus object is modified, is to provide an easy method to turn the devices effectively on/off by just changing the poll-rate back to normal after editing the Modbus.ini file, all while the process remains running.
Of course it would be
nice if I could force the Lookout.ini reload without restarting processes, then I could reload the .ini file and dynamically change the poll-rate while the process remains running, effectively switching the client communications on/off when necessary. Even better, I could programmatically edit the .ini file, reload it (somehow) and modify the poll-rate, all within a running process.
Basically, I need a way to reload modbus.ini settings without reloading a process. Alternatively, I could just load/unload a dummy process programmaticaly. I just need to verify the behavior of the modbus.ini file settings and existing/new modbus objects created/modified, knowing exactly when the settings get loaded for sure. For example, say I load a dummy process with no modbus objects in it. Will the .ini still reload? Will it affect modbus objects in already running processes whether the dummy process has or has no modbus objects within it?
Thanks All for your interest and particip
ation.
Ed
