Are there detailed instructions how to convert an old (PSE8) Catalog to PSE12?

As part of my upgrade from WinXP to Win7 on a replacement PC, I have purchased the new version of Elements, having used PSE8 for years. The handbook for my new PSE12 gives incredibly brief instructions (on P7). After PSE12 installation, it automatically offers to convert the old Catalog. I have followed that through the conversion, but then I can't get the converted Catalog back! What am I doing wrong?

So, you changed not only your OS and PSE version, but you also changed the computer? In that case a catalog conversion won't restore your image files. That only works if your changes take place on the same computer.
You'll have to follow this procedure:
Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
And come back for any additional advice.

    Around the web where are there pictures of how you insert a disc?... into a 27 inch iMac 3.2GHz Intel Core i3

    I can see this happening sometimes. Especially if someone is mainly used to working with power macs; most of which have a dvd tray/s as opposed to slot loading mac computers.
    @ Bengt Wärleby .... good point regarding the use of mini dvd's most of which can easily be used with modern burners and dvd-rom drives that use a tray.
    Slot loading macs work well with a full size / standard dvd or CD only.

  • Are there limits on how long timelaps films made in PS6 can be?

    Are there limits on how long timelaps films made in PS6 can be?
    I'm trying to create a timelaps but PS6 does not include all the images in sequence 0001 to 1360? It simply creates a movie in 27 seconds and cuts out the 400 latest pictures!

    Along the lines of Brett's question and comments, it is good practice to Scale Still Images to just what will be needed by the Project's (term from Premiere, the Adobe Video editing software) Frame Size.
    Unused pixels require processing overhead, and as they will not be used in the Video, are unnecessary. It does not take all that many overly-large Still Images, to choke even a stout workstation, with Video.
    This article is based on, and directed at Premiere, but much of the Video handling in PS is probably based, at least partially, on some of that code: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/450798?tstart=0
    Remember, it was written FOR Premiere, and uses PS to Scale the Images. In your case, it could be a two-step process - Scale with PS first, then assemble the Video n PS.
    Unlike printing of Still Images, Video does not care about DPI, or PPI. It is ONLY about pixel x pixel dimensions, and the necessary dimensions are set by the Video Frame Size. Unless you are Panning on a Zoomed Out Still, having more pixels, beyond, say 1920 x 1080 (HD Video resolution), just requires horsepower, and those extra pixels do nothing for your Video.
    Good luck,

  • How to convert all old (pre-Office 2007) documents in portal to new (Office Open XML, Office 2007+) formats?

    Good day.
    We have create a single SharePoint 2013 farm and manually copied in it all documents from old SharePoint 2007 server portal.
    The question is how to automate covertation from old document format to new office in all librarys?
    "Word Automation Services" able to convert only Word's documents, not Excel.
    The single method what I think, is to use bulk convert utility ofc.exe from Microsoft Office Migration Planning Manager with powershell's ability to get all items from all librarys from site collection.
    Can someone has faced with it and has a ready work example?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to convert all office file to the latest 2007 format.
    We found this tool called MS Office Migration Planning Manager:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=13580cd7-a8bc-40ef-8281-dd2c325a5a81&DisplayLang=en#filelist
    After extracting it, going to the Tools folder and modified the ofc.ini file to specify which folder to scan and convert etc.
    Then running  the ofc.exe and except some files didn't convert successfully, others is ok.

  • I downloaded new version but firefox still says I need to update - why, and if there's an "install" step I'm missing why are there no instructions on how to do so???

    Why does Firefox insist that I'm still using version 3.whatever when I have faithfully downloaded new versions when it tells me to do so -- most recently version 8.whatever (today). If "downloading" isn't enough and there's also an "install" step, I have yet to find anywhere in the Firefox that tells me how to do so. I have restarted my computer, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. It still tells me I'm using an outdated version that soon will not be supported.

    What you are seeing sounds like the "advertised update" from Firefox 3.6 versions to Firefox 8.0.1 that started on 2011-12-01. See --> https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_3.6_MU
    This is the same as has occurred when prior versions were nearing their end-of-life. Support for Firefox 3.6 versions is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
    There are changes in the interface from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4 and newer versions. See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
    The new Firefox version can be made to closely resemble the 3.6 Firefox interface.

    #See --> '''''Firefox 3 Theme for Firefox 4''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox/
    #*Add color home, back/forward and other buttons (like Firefox 3) to the Navigation Toolbar in place of the gray buttons in Firefox 4

    #Also see --> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
    The only currently supported versions are 3.6.24 and 8.0.1. Firefox 9.0 will be released on or about 2011-12-20 and will completely replace Firefox 8.0.1; an update to Firefox 3.6.25 from Firefox 3.6.24 will likely occur around that same time to correct any new security/stability issues found in Firefox 3.6.24.

  • Why are there no instructions for how to install fonts on Frame 10?

    The documentation is horrible! It says in many places, reinstall the fonts, but it never says how to do that or where to find out how to do that.
    How do I install fonts on Frame 10?
    Thanks,
    Carl

    Which fonts?
    I suspect that for fonts you already had prior to FM10, you wouldn't be asking.
    Adobe sez: Adobe® FrameMaker® 10 includes the following OpenType® fonts for Western languages: Minion® Pro, Myriad® Pro, Adobe Garamond® Pro, Letter Gothic Standard, News Gothic Standard, and Courier Standard. For symbols, FrameMaker 10 includes Symbol Standard. For Chinese text, Adobe Fangsong Standard and Adobe Kaiti Standard are provided. Kozuka Gothic® and Kozuka Mincho® are provided for Japanese text.
    Is the question then a matter of: where on the media and/or in the download are these found?
    Once located, and as needed, unpacked, installing them is trivial.
    I haven't used FM10, and don't know the location.

  • I want Next/Back links between topics. Are there good examples how to do this?

    I also have multiple books in which I want to have Next/Back buttons. The Help PDF offered by Adobe does not adequately describe how to do this. Does anyone have a good example/description of how I do this?
    Walt Mahan

    Hi again
    To access the link I listed, you just click it in your web browser.
    There are a few different ways you can do this. You can insert the text as you wish to see it, then manually create the links. Ick! That's not very much fun.
    If you are using RoboHelp 8  you could create a Master Page and insert a Breadcrumb Trails placeholder, then apply the Master Page across the topics.
    For any version of RoboHelp you could achieve this by creating a Browse Sequence (Tools > Browse Sequence Editor) and generate WebHelp twice. The first pass to folder A and the second pass to folder B. During the first pass, you use the "Traditional - No skin" output. This would produce topics with code in them that contains the Previous and Next links. Then the second pass would be generated with a skin. You would then copy the topics from folder A and overwrite the topics in folder B to obtain the best of both worlds.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Are there any usb to parallel converter cables that work with iMac 10.6?

    Have a Brother HL-5340D with damaged USB port, can I connect with a usb to parallel converter cable and have it work?

    If you try to tweak the dock with third party software, that will corrupt the Dock preferences. Better to leave well enough alone.

  • When I try to set my homepage to a specific website, firefox will not store permanently. I have to reset home page each time I open firefox. are there additional instructions in help to address this?

    Each time I open firefox, it doesn't open to my previously set website (Yahoo). I have to reset the homepage each time I open firefox despite following the help menu method. I'm not able to locate a possible cause/solution on the help menu. pls advise

    Please do the following.<br><br>
    * In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.<br><br>
    * In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''<br><br>
    * Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=<br><br>
    The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "''Copy Link Location''" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
    '''To reset your home page, do the following'''.<br><br>
    * Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.<br><br>
    * Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.<br><br>

  • Are there instructions to uninstall Elements 7 and Elements 10

    Hello,
    Could somebody please help me?  I purchased a new laptop and I have to return it because it's been giving me a lot of problems.  I have to uninstall Elements 7 and Elements 10 before I return it.
    Are there specific instructions and links to uninstall these 2 programs?
    Or, can I just use the Windows uninstall programs to completely uninstall them?
    Thanks for your assistance!

    Good morning, Barbara.
    Oh I see, I didn't know that.  I called the regular 1-800-585-0774 number.  I had to wait for 18 mins to get a regular person, which then put me on hold for another long time, then she transferred me - and the line just kept on ringing and ringing.  All in all, I waited for 1 hour and 5 minutes, until I went to chat with the Adobe lady - even while I was chatting with her the phone just kept on ringing.  So, no, I'm not impressed with the kind of phone support they gave me.
    Thanks for the number.  After your last message I decided to just uninstall the thing.  Then I uninstalled a couple of other things and ran a System Restore.  The laptop is all packed and ready to go, I'll be going to the post office to mail it back to QVC in a little while.
    Thanks for your assistance.  Have a great weekend.

    How To convert mp4 to mp3 using itunes 11.1.3.8 for windows
    The normal situation would be wanting to convert .m4a (AAC or Apple Lossless) to .mp3 as these are both music file formats. The extension .mp4 is normally for a video file and iTunes itself will only convert music files from one format to another.
    For details on how to convert between music formats see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550
    If you want to convert the audio track of an .mp4 video to a .mp3 file then you are going to need to use a different utility.

  • I lost my belongings via theft. As a photographer my greatest loss is having a computer to download and edit photos. Money is scarce and I am considering an ipad. Can anyone advise me whether an ipad can replace a pc?  Are there ports?

    I lost my belongings via theft from a storage unit. As it was scheduled for move the next day I did not purchase insurance. Probably an inside job, painful leason learned. This also left me no way to repurchase all i lost.
    As a photographer my greatest loss is having a computer to download and edit photos. Money is scarce and I am considering an ipad, understanding even this may not be affordable. Can anyone advise me whether an ipad can replace a pc?  Are there ports?  How crucial is memory?  I could edit photos then store them on flash drives if the ipad cannot handle load. Never having owned one I'm afraid I am completely ignorant on these issues and am grateful for any guidance. Thank you!

    No.  The iPad while a powerful tablet, is not a PC replacement. It is limited in what it can do.
    Trishfromaz wrote:

    No USB ports or of any other kind if that is what you are asking.  There's the sync/charge port you can use with the Lightning to USB camera Adapter, but only to load photos onto the iPad. It cannot write out to USB drives.

    iPads are not upgradeable. So what you buy is what you get. Memory is 1GB.  Storage space can go from 16GB up to 128GB
    Depending on what Image editor applications you use, there may not be a version for iPad with the features you need.

  • Are there restrictions on Mp4 for HDS streaming

    I would love to know what's going on with https sites, as well.  I just got a new Macbook Pro and was organizing my topsites the way I like them.  On my iMac and my Air, a certain https site sits just fine pinned to topsites.  But for whatever reason, I cannot get it to stay on this machine.  I'll add it, it'll be there, I'll come back after quitting Safari and it's gone.
    The crazy part is other https sites (like Facebook) stay pinned just fine.  Aggravating, because this particular one is my #1 topsite.
