Elements 8 on Windows 8.1: Backup throws Error

My trusted Photoshop Elements 8 and Elements Organizer with a catalog of 38,566 photos lives on a Windows 8.1 machine, all updates current.
When trying to make a full backup to an external hard disk, it writes 65,426 files before throwing a simple error (German, along the lines of "there was an error writing data") and exiting. Of the created backup, 31,562 files are JPGs, the rest are XMP and XML, and finally one catalog.buc is created. There is no backup.tly (I assume that would be the file to confirm a backup is complete). The JPGs date from the past to 2011 (the originals go up into the present). The error is reproducible.
I tried repairing and optimizing the catalog, all elements are connected. The catalog itself works nicely.
What to do? Living without a backup seems risky, so I need a solution.

Found the issue: it had to do with NTFS security properties. Part of my pictures directories was on an old hard disk, inherited from a previous Windows installation, and my current account wasn't the owner of those pictures. Apparently Elements Organizer stumbled over those rights issues (though it could read them alright, but that wasn't enough, it thought). Reclaimed ownership of all my pictures, and the backup ran through successfully.

  • Trying to install Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7 but keep getting error message 'A reduced set of content has been installed' - help!

    We bought Premiere Elements 10/Photoshop Element 10 a while ago and it worked brilliantly on our Window XP machine, but since we moved to Windows 7 last year we can't get Premiere Elements 10 to work properly and always get the error message 'A reduced set of content (Instant Movie Themes, Title and Menu templates, etc) has been installed. You can install the full content by inserting your Content DVD or downloading it. Do you want to install now?'. So I've tried reinserting the DVDs and installing them. I've uninstalled all the software and started again, but each time I get the same message at the end of the process. I've spoken to the computer shop I bought the computer from and they say Windows 7 is incompatible, but that doesn't seem to be what the Adobe web site says. Please, any advice welcome as I've got a year's worth of videos I need to edit.
    Thank you!

    Are you working with Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit? What video card/graphics card does your computer use? NVIDIA GeForce? And, are you doing your download and installing with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    Premiere Elements 12 is compatible with Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    If you have tried to obtain the Premiere Elements 10 Content from the installation disc labelled for Content for your version and operating system and that is not working, then can try downloading and installing the Content from the following Adobe link if you do not decide to click on the message to initiate the content download from within the program.

  • Windows 8.1 is throws error when displaying SAP Crystal Reports 10.5

    Hi there,
    On windows 8.1 – 64  bit SAP Crystal Reports fails to work (even empty report):
    “Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version 10.5.3700.0, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=blahblah' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.”
    Project that run SAP Crystal Report was compiled as 64 bit & 86 bit & ANY CPU, but all displayed the same error message. Is windows 8.1 64 bit missing any *.dlls? Or is there compatible CRRuntime engine with windows 8.1 64 bit?
    I had this problem before on windows 7 but by changing solution Platform and Target CPU – solved the problem, however windows 8.1 seems to have a bug!
    More Info about app:

    Are you simply viewing the report, or exporting it?
    The error doesn't tell us much. A windows application should not need any special permissions. Try giving the user full rights to the temp directory, as the report engine does need to write seme files there.

  • Can I maintain Elements Tags and Stacking if I backup on Windows and restore on Mac

    Can I maintain Elements Tags and Stacking if I backup on Windows and restore on Mac

    Thanks Barbara and Michel, confirming that backup on from Elements 10 on Windows 7 and restore to Mac OSX albeit slow worked fine preserving stacks and tags.
    Previous experience of upgrading Elements 5 to 10 on Windows lost all stacks which put me in the dog house with my wife who had spent a lot of time creating them.
    All the best John

  • Transfer from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on the Mac.

    I want to transfer from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on the Mac. My problem is I have lost my catalog and Windows XP.  I need help.
    I have installed the newest Mac version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 (PSE 12 Mac) and it seems to work fine but I have not been able to access my old (XP, PSE6) catalog file.
    I am working on a MacBook Air running OSX version 10.9.2.  I have been using Parallels Desktop 9 Switch-to-Mac-Edition™ to run Windows virtual machines.  I had been working for over a year running Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP virtual machine.  The XP operating system was updated to 2/28/14.
    When I installed Windows 8, the Parallels program initially offered me a choice of virtual machines, Window XP or Windows 8.  I could use the XP version to work with Photoshop Elements 6 as before and thought I could be leisurely about transferring my Photoshop operations to the Mac side.
    However, without my knowingly doing anything to dispose of Windows XP, I have “lost” Windows XP.  Perhaps it occurred when I updated to Windows 8.1.  At any rate, now I have access only to Windows 8.1. 
    To compound the problem the Time Machine backup program for the Mac was not backing up the XP virtual machine files as I had thought.   I have since corrected the settings but I do not have a copy of Windows XP nor of the Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog which I used in the past.
    Moreover, I do not have a workable Windows XP disk; the only one I could find is from Dell and it does not load on my MacBook Air.  I see Windows XP disks offered by Amazon for about $30 and have thought about buying a copy to help see if I could  accomplish the transfer of the catalog file to my Mac.  I would use XP only to accomplish this transfer.
    I am not completely confident that reinstalling Windows XP would actually enable me to do the transfer and I can foresee potential big problems. Therefore, before taking that step I thought that I would check with you to see if there is a way to find the catalog file and perhaps to modify it so that I could work in the Mac Environment.
    I have used Elements to improve and organize over a thousand travel and family photos taken with a pocket size digital camera.  Being a nonprofessional, I have edited mainly by cropping and using Quick Fix but have many hours invested.  Yes,  I still have the originals and probably could have redone much of that work with the time I have invested in trying to find the missing XP and catalog.
    I have found two large HDS files (Windows XP.hdd and Windows XP (2).hdd) that were created 7/15/12.  I suspect they may be important but am not sure what they are.   I read that HDS files are commonly Windows media digital rights management files, DRMs.   HDS files may also be used by hierarchical data systems.  Do the names suggest anything about Photoshop?
    Can you help me find the catalog and transfer it for use with the Mac Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

  • Transferring Premiere Elements 11 from Windows 7 to Windows 8 computer question

    Do i have to use my backups to reinstall Premiere Elements correctly, or can i simply add the internal drive i used in Windows 7 strictly for Premiere, move it to the new Windows 8 computer, reinstall the Elements program, and direct it to the proper hard drive?  I have current incremental backups on a NAS drive, but it seems like i should just be able to use the internal drive that already has everything on it.
    Thanks,

    awgriffey2013
    What do you have -  purchased installation files/serial number from an online purchase from Adobe direct or installation disc with serial number purchased in boxed packaging from an authorized reseller.
    If you do not plan on using 11 on Windows 7 thereafter,
    Deactivate 11 on 7, Help Menu/Deactivate - close out of there
    Uninstall Control Panel Route
    Deactivate and uninstall are not the same thing. Depending on your plans, you may not want to uninstall, just deactivate.
    You are simply going to install Premiere Elements 11 to Windows 8 computer, using installation files or installation disc.
    Do you have Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 projects that you want to salvage? If so, how many? I would archive them
    File Menu/Project Archiver/Copy Project and transfer the Copied Folder via USB to the Windows 8 computer.
    For Elements Organizer considerations, please review the following
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
    At this time I have no comments on your backups on NAS and how it might relate to your end goal.
    Please review the above and then let us know if any of the above works for you.
    Thanks.

    Add On...Just in case note, Adobe allows you to install/activate the purchase serial number for a given product on no more than
    2 of your computers.  Then use these same products with the same activated serial number one at a time.

  • Premiere Elements 8/9 Windows 7 64bit

    History....
    I was running Premiere Elements 8 on Windows 7 32 bit with little to no problems.
    I recently Upgraded my system primarily for more RAM to use with video editing and upgraded to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
    I re-installed elements 8 and the same format of video that was fine on the 32 bit now showed up as a red screen in playback through elements with audio.
    This wasn't the only problem.  Sometimes when starting up elements the home screen was just blank and would not show the timeline or any other boxes for that matter.
    I decided to purchase elements 9.0 and so didn't try too hard to iron out the above details.
    However I'm now experiencing the very same problems with version 9.
    When the program starts up (no error messages) the screen just shows me the shell  and no other boxes show including the timeline!!!
    Everything is greyed out other than starting new project again which throws up the same scenario.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!
    PS I have also tried changing the project settings but to no avail

    Hey Bill and thanks for your answer.
    Without changing a thing (to my knowledge) Prem 9 is now starting up properly.
    Well 5 out of 6 start ups have been successful!!
    Not sure why this is, but project editing and manipulation all seem to working fine and have even exported an end product!!
    I guess I'll just have to see how things go.
    Thanks again for your suggestions and Happy New Year!!!!

  • Unable to do Bare Metal Restore on Windows Server 2008R2 Backup from USB Seagate Backup Plus Harddrive

    I have done a windows full server backup on to an external Seagate HDD on a Dell PowerEdge T110 II Server running Windows Server 2008 R2
    I want to clone this and do a Bare Metal Restore on an identical server at home which has Windows Server 2008 R2 on it.
    I boot from the Windows DVD provided, select repair however windows Server 2008 R2 will not find the image of the Seagate drive. The Seagate drive can be seen on the server otherwise. I guess there are options to load the driver, but I don't see them.
    Please help. Kind of stuck here
    Thanks

    I am using a windows server 2008R2 disk to boot up. Both the servers have windows server 2008R2 on them. I have two licenses for each of the servers. I want to use the server at home as a backup server in case the server in office  goes down. I used
    windows server backup to backup the server at work to a portable USB hard drive. I bought the hard drive home and want to clone the server at work. I heard bare metal restore is the best way to do this. So I booted the server at home with the windows server
    2008 r2 disk that I have and clicked repair. I had attached my seagate portable drive to the usb port so that the server could find the image of the server at work, however the server cant find the hard drive or the server image. Is it a problem with my usb
    hard drive? Do I need a specific type of usb hard drive to do server image backups?
    If I let my server at home boot regularly and it comes up, it can see the image on the hard drive so I dont know how to do the bare metal restore. I know it can be done becuase my IT guy did it when he set up both the servers. I just want to periodically
    clone them so make sure the server at home is updated with the settings of the server at work.
    Thanks for any help here

  • Server 2008 R2 Windows Server Backup. "Error in backup of Hyper-V.vhd during read: Error [0x80070001] Incorrect function.

    Hello,
    We are currently using Windows Server Backup to backup three Hyper-V guests running on a Windows 2008 R2 host.  Two guests are running Server 2008 R2 and one is running Windows 7.  I have the backups going to a dedicated external disk drive.
    WSB backs up the two 2008 R2 Hyper-V guests just fine.  However, when attempting to backup the Windows 7 Hyper-V guest, I receive the following error:
    Error in backup of <Windows 7.vhd> during read: Error [0x80070001] Incorrect function.
    I ran a "vssadmin list writers" and all the VSS writers showed "Stable" with no errors.  I have plenty of space on the external drive as well.  I've read this article:

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi,
    As the other 2 guests could be backed up correctly, the issue should not be the Windows Server Backup feature.
