Elements 10 backup from XP - restore to W7 - restore does not include any duplicated pics

Hi,  hope someone can help?
I am a new user to Elements10 and originally installed it onto an XP desktop.    I have since upgraded the desktop to Windows7 and want to transfer my images and elements catalog.  I have performed a full backup of my catalog from the XP os, via the backup process in Elements (which says successful) and performed a restore onto the W7 desktop retaining the original folder structure (also via Elements).  
Despite doing this several times, I always get error messages saying the restore cannot restore a selection of .xml files, but if I continue with the backup it finally says "successful".
However when I compare the number of restored images, with the originals, it appears I am over 700 files short!       A bit of investigation indicates that the restore is not restoring any duplicate images (those with identical file names but in different folders), but only restores one copy of the image.    I can't check all 700 files individually, but can someone confirm if this expected behaviour, so that I can stop worrying that I have lost 700+ images?
Thanks
Steve

Ah... as per my 1st post, I am a new user to Elements.    Apologies,  I have been approaching this from the wrong direction!   I have checked back on my original XP disk and Elements catalog, and it appears that when I set up the original catalog against my existing pics it did not include any duplicate files, therefore the Backup\Restore is correct, it is the original cataloging of my pictures that did not work as expected.     Do I have to do anything specific to get the catalog to include duplicate file names?
Sorry for the misdirection

Steve,
The basic rule of database management is to forbid duplicates.
In the case of the Organizer, that would mean changing one of the two above criteria (date daken or file size in kB). That would be possible outside of the Organizer by using external tools, but the problem is that you don't know which files are concerned...
Now that you have restored your catalog in your new catalog, a theoretical solution would be to get back to the old catalog, and use the organizer to delete all the files in the catalog. The remaining ones would be the duplicates. Creating a new empy catalog and importing the remaining files would recover all duplicates. You could then restore on the new PC.
There are still two problems:
- You can't delete a big number of files at the same time? You'd have to delete by small batches
- You'll have all your duplicates in your new PC, but you still won't be able to include them in the main catalog even you have now a special catalog with only the duplicates.
So, the final question may be : why do you want to keep duplicates? You can examine the duplicates catalog and see if they are really necessary. Maybe you can live with two different catalogs.

  • Catalog Does Not Show any 2008 pics  Windows  Elements 5

    When I open the program all pictures it ends at December 2007 instead of Feb 2009. The pictures are on the hard drive at the following address:
    My Documents/My Pictures/files and folders of pictures.
    First off I cannot find a folder titled My Pictures
    My catalog is listed under My Documents/Jeanette Pics/ files and folders
    How do I get them into the catalog? I have 7958 files in 274 folders

    There are a few possible reasons why your Organizer window only shows photos up to Dec 2007.
    1. You never imported the later photos into the Organizer. In this case, File->Get Photos->From Files and Folders will import these photos into your Organizer
    2. You have set the Timeline (near the top of the Organizer) to show only photos up until Dec 2007. This should be easy to fix, by dragging the slider on the timeline to the right to encompass Feb 2009.
    3. You are showing only photos from a specific tag or collection.

  • After installing the security update from 21.04.2015 my Phone does not start any more

    Hi everybody,
    I have installed the update 10052 for my Lumia 535 DS and now it can't be started any more. When starting the phone the two gears appear and start moving but than it's turned off. This happens each time I'm trying to start the phone. Any suggestions to get
    my phone running again?
    Alexander Allmendinger

    Hi Chris, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I think your choices are to...
    Reapply the Security update...
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2008_008__Client_PPC
    Reapply the Combo update...
    The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
    Repair Permissions afterwards, reboot.
    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if the Disk Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows what could happen!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

  • Firefox 5 crashes and session restore does not load any tabs that were previously open.

    Also, if I exit Firefox 5 it no longer asks to confirm that I wish to close multiple tabs - even though that option is checked in the options folder. Have changed various settings in about:config but to no avail. Any ideas gratefully received...

    Which prefs did you change?
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
    *You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    *To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    If the backup is corrupt, there is nothing that can be done.
    For what reason did you choose to not copy the pictures off the device to a computer prior to attemping an update or whatever caused the need to restore?  iPhones are not intended as sole storage of any media.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Importing element definition from an  EDD into a template - does not work

    FM 10.0.1 German on Windows XP SP3.
    When importing the element definitions from an existing EDD into an existing template, FrameMaker converts the template into a  new EDD.
    So the element definitions which are correctly defined do not appear in the template.
    The highest level element is than ElementCatalog in the template and not the higherst lvel element defined in the EDD.
    In FM9 this was no issue.
    Any help is appreciated, I have a deadline and must do some changes in the EDD.
    Best Regards
    Thomas

    Lynne,
    EDD is english (Version FM7.0), Interface language is German.
    Maybe it´s a localization issue.
    I have attached a captivate demo pdf so you can see what happens and the
    defective EDD.
    Mit freundlichen Grüßen

    Thomas,
      No question the behavior you describe is a bug. However, I am unable to
    duplicate it. I created an EDD with two element definitions:
    Element (Container): doc
      Valid as the highest-level element.
      General rule:  (
      When I imported element definitions from this EDD into a new portrait
    document, FM reports that element a is referenced but not defined and that
    b is defined but not referenced. However, with all elements listed, the
    element catalog shows a, b, and doc. The metatemplate elements are not
    available.
      I wonder if this is a language-dependent problem. Is your EDD German or
    English? What about your user interface?
      Can you send me a short EDD that fails as you've described?
      Thanks,
          --Lynne

  • Just did a system restore from my time machine and I can not find any of my files from my desktop.  How can I find them?

    I am a new apple user...sorry it took so long.  I did a recovery from my time machine but I can not find any of the filesI was saving on my desktop.  Are they gone for good or is there some way I can get them back?  I am desperate...should I save my regular used files somewhere else other than my desktop?
    Can I get the old desktop files back????

    When you open TM you should see all of the desktop items right away.  If they are not there, go back a day before you  made your last retrieval.  (Look for the dates on the time line on the right hand side of the display)

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • The backup location does specified does not contain any backup. Specify another backup location.

    We have our server set to backup to an internal HDD (E:), and then copy all the files in E: to different locations for storage (a NAS for instance).  I scheduled a copy to a USB drive, but I can't get the recovery wizard to see the backup it now contains. 
    I choose "A backup stored in another location" and then "Remote shared folder", as the USB (G:) does not show up in Local drives.  I now need to enter a UNC (it won't accept the "G:\" path), so I shared the USB drive and
    enter "\\SERVER\G\2014-09-23", which is the path to the parent of the WindowsImageBackup folder on the USB drive.  At this point I get the above error "The backup location does specified does not contain any backup"
    All the files look to have copied OK, and have the same Date Modified as on the server: as far as I can tell it's identical, and yet it won't mount. Help?

    Hi,
    I would like to confirm the exact backup process:
    When creating the backup, are you choosing "local drives" and then "G:", or Remote shared folder and then \\server\g\folder?
    If it is a network path, could you restore it with \\server\g\folder instead?

    My computer (Win 7) detects my HD canon VIXIAHF R10 Camcorder  But Elements 12 does not.  Any ideas?

    Actually, this camcorder is an AVCHD cam, so it would attach via USB. Then the camcorder must be set to playback/USB mode.
    You would then use Add Media/From Flip or Camera to open the Video Importer and set the Source drop-down to your camcorder.
    Is this what you've done? Please be specific about the steps you're taking.

  • Context node does not contain any elements

    Hi Masters,
                     I create a node dynamically from structure using CL_WD_DEMO_DYN_MODEL->create_nodeinfo_from_struct method. my code as

    Hi sathya ,
    the method you using is absolute , the replacement for the methos is  if_wd_context_node_info->add_new_child_node
    pls refer the sample code to create a dynamic Node .
    DATA: pa0001  TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
               comp_tab     TYPE cl_abap_structdescr=>component_table,
               struct_type     TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
              ls_pa0001   ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name('P0001').
              comp_tab      = p0001->get_components( ).
              struct_type   = cl_abap_structdescr=>create( comp_tab ).
      struct_type = cl_abap_structdescr=>create( comp_tab ).
    * now the nodeinfo is created
      node_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).
      node_info = node_info->add_new_child_node(
        name                         = 'MY_NODE'
        IS_MANDATORY                 = ABAP_true
