Failed to convert Catalog (PS Album 2.0 to PSE 7.0)

When attempting to convert My Catalog from Photoshop Album 2 to PSE 7, the following prompt is reported "The conversion operation failed. try repairing the catalog with the software that created it and retry conversion"
I have attempted to repair/uninstall & reinstall PS Album but the problem still remains. From tips picked up from the other posts, I can confirm there are no missing files in the original catalog. I have also attempted without success to repair and optimise the catalog via File\catalog and remove all 'Creations' from the catalog.
The pse-conversion file states "unable to process tag p:6 "Shared - Incoming", a=000b0004 fa=04 ia=0b parent=0 next=7 firstchild=0
p:7 -> discarding top level history tag" (or words similar to) on several occasions. What does this mean/is it relevant?/how can I correct it? (see attached log conversion file)
Failing to resolve the above problem will mean retagging over 4000 images - a propect I really wish to avoid!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I was having problems with the conversion from PSA2 to PSE7, mainly with 2 things. First, I was gettings some "poison files" as suddenly one year of photos went from ca 4 GB to 13 GB in size.
The second problem and my biggest problem was that I had burnt a couple of years to a dvd. In PSA2 these files were removed from my HDD, there were thumbnail files stored in a folder called /Proxies/Photos 2004-2006 and in the organiser these files showed up as low resolution thumbanils and with a gold disc symbol, showing that they were stored offline. If I double clicked on a picture the dvd disc was asked for.
Upon upgrading to PSE7 everything was converted correctly except my offline files. In PSE7 there is a symbol showing that files is offline, but the picture is not there ie it is not connected. Following the advice in this thread I tried instead to first upgrade to PSE5, but the same problem occurs. Funny enough, the "posion files" does not seem to be there, 2008 is now 4 GB is size .
My question is why does PSE not upgrade my offline pictures? How do remedy this? Should I reconnect the missing files to the Proxies folder or to the dvd that contains the files? If I choose either of these will that not restore the files on to my HDD or just the link?
Another thing. Can any of the versions of PSE burn to DVD-DL or is it still only DVDR that is allowed?

  • CATALOG PSE6 failed to convert

    After installing PrEl7 complete, I uninstalled it and reinstalled PrE7 minimal, to save space. Installation went fine, but catalog from PSE6 failed to convert, unlike the first time. What are my options?

    >How can I start a video-only catalog in this shaky PrE7
    1- Please search your hard drive and check if you have any file with the pse7db file type? (be sure to have hidden files visible when you are searching) If yes, post the folder in which you find it and what its last modified and creation dates are on the pse7db file.
    2- Are you using a PSE 6 catalog with the default name of "My Catalog" or have you created a catalog with your own name? Also do you use the default or a custom location for the PSE 6 catalog? Are you running XP or Vista?
    the following are more general comments so I have separated them from the above specific response :
    >as Barb confirmed, the catalog will not convert from PSE6. Why did it convert a few months ago?? The technology must be in flux. Or is something missing in the short version?
    Based on what you reported it would seem that the conversion support may not be in the minimal/short version. I don't know for sure and I think that you might need to ask that question to Adobe tech support.
    >I do have a PSE7 upgrade but chose not to install it so far, and now that the catalog permanence has been endangered again, probably to promote upgrade sales, my hesitation escalates.
    I do think that it would be better to discuss this part of your question over in the PSE forum. I don't understand why you think that catalog permanence is endangered again: I do not agree with that conclusion. Upgrading a catalog is a normal activity when going to a new version of Photoshop Elements and now also Premiere Elements. I also started with Photoshop Album 2.
    Now I realize that the upgrade from PSA 2 to PSA 6 was difficult and it has been difficult for other people too. I do think that Adobe should have been better at anticipating that people would be converting from PSA 2 to PSE 6 (for Vista support as well as for other reasons).
    You have cleaned up your catalog so to do the upgrade from a PSE 6 catalog to a PSE 7 catalog should be much simpler. Personally, I have more confidence in Photoshop Elements 7 and the PSE 7 catalog than I do in version 6.

  • Converting Catalog from Photoshop Album 2 to P. Elements 4 or 9

    When converting the catalog from Photoshop Album 2.0  PE Versions 4.0 or 9.0, I get 43% through the conversion and then an error message pops up saying the file is corrupt and to repir first in the original version. I have looked up other forums which have been helpful recommending to hold Control key down whening opening P Album to firstly repair the catalog. This done successfully, with the catalog working in Album "successfully repaired", it still does not correct the error message when attemptng to re-convert the catalog into the later versions. I have about 12,000 photos in the catalog. Any ideas most welcome?

    I am curious
    Is PS Album 2 running on a Windows XP PC ? Does PS Album run normally ?
    PSE 4 on the same PC ?
    Is PSE 9 running on the same computer as Photoshop Album 2 ?
    Or perhaps is PSE 9 running on a new computer with Windows 7 ?
    For PS Album 2, in addition to doing the repair of the Catalog (which you  have done), you should not have any disconnected files when you attempt a catalog upgrade. In PS Album 2, look for a command to Reconnect All Missing Files -- it may be under the File menu.  Run that command.
    Here is a reference to a discussion of problems upgrading catalogs
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Problems_converting_catalo gs
    I suggest that you read it for general background and specifically I suggest that you read the comments about identifying a "poisin" video file

  • Problems converting catalog from PSE8 to PSE 12

    I've upgraded from PSE8 to PSE12.  I've just tried converting one of my 10 or so catalogs - all are stored in custom locations on an external drive, since the total file size for all my images is larger than my C: drive's capacity - with awful results:
    a.     there is now a copy of my folder structure and all files from the catalog in a folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs.  Not at all what I want, and if I convert the rest of my catalogs it will fail when C: drive becomes full.
    b.     my converted catalog has no ratings on any images.
    c.     my tags and tag heirarchy have disappeared.
    Each of these issues is completely unacceptable.  There are literally thousand of hours of work in all my catalogs, which I cannot repeat.  How can I convert my previous catalogs to PSE12 versions, retaining all ratings, tags and tag structure, and without duplicating every image file?
    Rob

    I had already tried optimizing the catalog, repariing the catalog, re-indexing visual simularity data and making sure there were no missing files.  Basically everything I found at: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/common-catalog-issues-upgrade-elements.html
    I also used the Mac OS X Disk Utility to make sure there were no disk errors.
    I have Parallels Desktop running on my Mac so I installed the Windows version of PSE12 and used it to convert the catalog of 63,000 pictures in under an hour.  That put the catalog in a new location so I just moved the catalog from the Windows location to the Mac location.  Now PSE12 on the Mac can access the new catalog and is working as expected.

    Hi,
    The above error appears due to date format is differnt from SAP query generator and SQL server.
    So you need convert all date in above query to SQL server required format.
    Try to convert..let me know if not possible.

    You can search the forums for that error message and find previous discussions - they all boil down to the same problem.  Somewhere in your query that calls this function, the code invoked implicitly converts from string to date/datetime.  In general,
    this works in any version of sql server if the runtime settings are correct for the format of the string data.  The fact that it works in one server and not in another server suggests that the query executes with different settings - and I'll assume for
    the moment that the format of the data involved in this conversion is consistent within the database/resultset and consistent between the 2 servers. 
    I suggest you read Tibor's guide to the datetime datatype (via the link to his site below) first - then go find the actual code that performs this conversion.  It may not be in the function you posted, since that function also executes other functions. 
    You also did not post the query that calls this function, so this function may not, in fact, be the source of the problem at all.

    If I restart "Outlook 2003" it will create a "pdf" when I click the icon the first time, the second time I click it will fail.
    Please help.

    We would like to add the option, but removing the registry key doesn't actually install the option when you check it. It seems you might have to create a new mst then redeploy. We'd really like to not have to do that, if at all possible.

  • Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2

    : java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv
    (BC4J throws that exception)
    I got that error message when try to show the table's content in uix page.
    I use varchar2(40). the error occurs, when i set special characters like õ,ü,Ü.. and so on.
    This affects only UTF encoded database.
    We use: 9.0.2.5, Jdev9.0.3.3., UIX, iAS 9.4.2??(i dont'know)
    As i know the problem is when there is 40 letters in the column and it contains "special character" it can't convert it, because the neccessary space requered to store values is much more.
    If i use nvarchar, i don't think it fix this problem.
    And as i know, all sql constant must use where coulmn=N'constans value' format.
    Q:
    How can i set the UTF database and BC4J to run correctly.
    I mean... what type to use, what is the column size to set.
    Thanks in advice,
    Viktor

    I had the same problem using Oracle 9i. The problem lied within the Oracle JDBC driver itself! --;
    If you're using JDBC driver from Oracle 9i, stop using it!
    You should download JDBC driver of Oracle 10g from Oracle site and use that driver instead.
    After I changed the driver, I now have no problem of getting Korean characters from the database.
    Hope this would solve your problem too.

  • Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv

    We need to store possibly all UTF8 chararacter in his database
    especially $ & ( 4 8 < = > from WE8ISO8859P1 and from WE8ISO8859P15.
    So we install an UTF8 instance and set NLS_LANG to UTF8.
    We have to do select/update from a java client and sqlplus(like).
    When we insert with java client it's unreadable from sqlplus and
    when whe insert from sqlplus we've got 'Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv '
    here the code made in sqlplus
    update CPW_TEST set lb_comportement='$ & ( 4 8 < = > ' WHERE ID_TEST=14805;
    here the code made in java
    update CPW_TEST set lb_comportement='$ & ( 4 8 < = > ' WHERE ID_TEST=14804;
    and then the result in database
    SELECT id_test,LB_COMPORTEMENT FROM CPW_TEST WHERE ID_TEST=14804 or ID_TEST=14805
    ID_TEST LB_COMPORTEMENT
    14804 B$ B& B( B4 B8 B< B= B> B
    14805 $ & ( 4 8 < = >
    2 rows selected
    and the dump
    SELECT id_test,dump(LB_COMPORTEMENT) FROM CPW_TEST WHERE ID_TEST=14804 or ID_TEST=14805
    ID_TEST DUMP(LB_COMPORTEMENT)
    14804 Typ=1 Len=26: 194,164,32,194,166,32,194,168,32,194,180,32,194,184,32,194,188,32,194,189,32,194,190,32,194,128

    2 rows selected
    I'm not sure, but it seems that sqlplus uses true UTF8 (variable length codes) and java client uses UCS-2 (2 bytes)
    How can I solve my problem?
    Our configuration
    javaclient (both thin and oci jdbc driver 8.1.7), sqlplus client and database Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 on the same computer (W2000 or NT4)
    Thank you for yoru attention.

    Hi Luis, thanks for your suggestions. You're right that problem was in JServ and his JVM.
    There was conflict between different versions of Java. While iFS was using JRE 1.3.1, JServ was configured to use JRE 1.1.8. As soon as I corrected link to the right Java, problem disappears.

  • Java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv

    Hi all,
    I am writing a servlet that connects to Oracle 8.0.6 through jdbc for jdk1.2 on NT 4.0
    English version and it works fine.
    But when the servlet is deployed to a solaris with Oracle 8.0.5 (not a typo, the oracle on
    NT is 8.0.6 and oracle on solaris is 8.0.5) and jdbc for jdk1.2 (of course, for Solaris),
    the servlet failed with the Exception:
    java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv
    (I am using JRun 3.0 as the application and web server for both NT and Solaris)
    (The database in both the NT and solaris platform are using UTF8 charset)
    My servlet looks like this: (dbConn is a Connection object proved to be connected to Oracle
    in previous segment of the same method):
    String strSQL = "SELECT * FROM test";
    try { Statement stmt = dbConn.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = stmt.execute(strSQL);
    while (rs.next()) {
    out.println("id = " + rs.getInt("id"));
    System.out.println("id written");
    out.println("name = " + rs.getString("name")); // <-- this is the line the
    exception is thrown
    System.out.println("name written");
    } catch (java.sql.SQLException e) {
    System.out.println("SQL Exception");
    System.out.println(e);
    The definition of the "test" table is:
    create table test(
    id number(10,0),
    name varchar2(30));
    There are about 10 rows exists in the table "test", in which all rows contains ONLY chinese
    characters in the "name" field.
    And when I view the System log, the string "id written" is shown EXACTLY ONCE and then there
    is:
    SQL Exception
    java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv
    That means the resultset is fetch back from the database correctly. The problem arise only
    during the getString("name") method.
    Again, this problem only happens when the servlet is run on the solaris platform.
    At first I would expect there are some strange code shown on the web page rather than having
    an exception. I know that I should use getBytes to convert between different encodings, but
    that's another story.
    One more piece of information: When all the rows contains ascii characters in their "name"
    field, the servlet works perfectly even in solaris.
    If anyone knows why and how to tackle the problem please let me know. You can feel free to
    send email to me at [email protected]
    Many thanks,

    Hi all,
    For the problem I previously posted, I found that Oracle had had such bug filed before in Oracle 7.3.2 (something like that) and is classified to be NOT A BUG.
    A further research leads me to the document of Oracle that the error message:
    "java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv"
    is a JDBC driver error message of error number ORA-17037.
    I'm still wondering why this behaviour will happen only in Solaris platform. The servlet on an NT machine I am using (which has an Oracle 8.0.6 and jdbc for jdk 1.2 running) is working just fine. I also suspect that this may be some sort of mistakes from jdbc driver.
    Nevertheless, I have found a way to work around the problem that I cannot get non-English string from Oracle in Solaris and I would like to share it with you all here.
    Before I go on, I found that there are many people out there on the web that encounter the same problem. (Some of which said s/he has been working on this problem for a month). As a result, if you find this way of working around the problem does help you, please tell those who have the same problem but don't know how to tackle. Thanks very much.
    Here's the way I work it out. It's kinda simple, but it does work:
    Instead of using:
    String abc = rs.getString("SomeColumnContainsNonEnglishCharacters");
    I used this:
    String abc = new String(rs.getBytes("SomeColumnContainsNonEnglishCharacters"));
    This will give you a string WITH YOUR DEFAULT CHARSET (or ENCODING) from your system.
    If you want to convert the string read to some other encoding type, say Big5, you can do it like this:
    String abc = new String(rs.getBytes("SomeColumneContainsNonEnglishCharacters"), "BIG5");
    Again, it's simple, but it works.
    Finally, if anyone knows why the fail to convert problem happens, please kindly let me know by leaving a word in [email protected]
    Again, thanks to those of you who had tried to help me out.

    Hi all,
    I am writing a servlet that connects to Oracle 8.0.6 through jdbc for jdk1.2 on NT 4.0
    English version and it works fine.
    But when the servlet is deployed to a solaris with Oracle 8.0.5 (not a typo, the oracle on
    NT is 8.0.6 and oracle on solaris is 8.0.5) and jdbc for jdk1.2 (of course, for Solaris),
    the servlet failed with the Exception:
    java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv
    (I am using JRun 3.0 as the application and web server for both NT and Solaris)
    (The database in both the NT and solaris platform are using UTF8 charset)
    My servlet looks like this: (dbConn is a Connection object proved to be connected to Oracle
    in previous segment of the same method):
    String strSQL = "SELECT * FROM test";
    try { Statement stmt = dbConn.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = stmt.execute(strSQL);
    while (rs.next()) {
    out.println("id = " + rs.getInt("id"));
    System.out.println("id written");
    out.println("name = " + rs.getString("name")); // <-- this is the line the
    exception is thrown
    System.out.println("name written");
    } catch (java.sql.SQLException e) {
    System.out.println("SQL Exception");
    System.out.println(e);
    The definition of the "test" table is:
    create table test(
    id number(10,0),
    name varchar2(30));
    There are about 10 rows exists in the table "test", in which all rows contains ONLY chinese
    characters in the "name" field.
    And when I view the System log, the string "id written" is shown EXACTLY ONCE and then there
    is:
    SQL Exception
    java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv
    That means the resultset is fetch back from the database correctly. The problem arise only
    during the getString("name") method.
    Again, this problem only happens when the servlet is run on the solaris platform.
    At first I would expect there are some strange code shown on the web page rather than having
    an exception. I know that I should use getBytes to convert between different encodings, but
    that's another story.
    One more piece of information: When all the rows contains ascii characters in their "name"
    field, the servlet works perfectly even in solaris.
    If anyone knows why and how to tackle the problem please let me know. You can feel free to
    send email to me at [email protected]
    Many thanks,

  • SSRS error "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value"

    Hi folks!
    After SCCM 2012 R2 upgrade, we have errors with self made reports:
    An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
    Cannot read the next data row for the dataset DataSet2. (rsErrorReadingNextDataRow)
    Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '*****' to data type int.
    I found several articles to see reporting services log file for possible WMI related errors, but none exists. SQL server is 2008R2, Runned mofcomp, and re-installed reporting services role, but problem remains.
    I traced the dataset2 query:
    SELECT
      v_Collection_Alias.CollectionID ,v_Collection_Alias.Name
    FROM fn_rbac_Collection(@UserSIDs) v_Collection_Alias
    WHERE
     v_Collection_Alias.CollectionType = 2
    Any adwice is appreciated.
    ~Tuomas.

    Hi Tuomas,
    What's the SQL Server version? To verify the the SQL Server version, please see
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321185
    SCCM 2012 R2 need SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 with CU 6 or SQL Server 2008 R2 with SP2 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx#BKMK_SupConfigSQLSrvReq).
    If the SQL meets requirement, I would suggest you submit a thread to SQL forum to deal with the sql issue.
    Thanks.

  • ActionScript 3.0: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert displayObject$ to DefaultPackage

    I'm a student I have a final project want to deliver it after two days.
    I'm making a drag and drop game, I watched a tutorial to do that.
    But after ending coding I faced a weird error!
    I've I checked that my code is the same as the code in the tutorial.
    This is the Debug error report:
        Attempting to launch and connect to Player using URL E:\FL\ActionScript\Drag and Drop Project\DragAndDrop.swf
        [SWF] E:\FL\ActionScript\Drag and Drop Project\DragAndDrop.swf - 87403 bytes after decompression
        TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert paper1$ to DragDrop.
                  at Targets()[E:\FL\ActionScript\Drag and Drop Project\Targets.as:23]
    My `.fla` File is containing 12 Objects to drag and another 12 Objects to drop on it.
    The idea here is when drop the Object on the target the Object will become invisible and the target become visible (in `.fla` file `target alpha = 0`).
    I made two classes:
    DragDrop.as : for the objects that I'm going to drag.
    Targets.as  : for the targets that I'm going to drop Objects on it.
    Note: match function is to animate "GameOver" MovieClip When complete the game.
    DragDrop.as:

    ...Thanks

    Thank you very much for replying.
    - dragdrops represents: the dragable objects.
    - Targets obtaining the dropable objects by hitTestObject, then the dropable objects visible is turned to false, & the target visible turned to true.
    Dragable objects is a 12 elements all of them have an instance names: paper1....paper12.
    When I focused to the project I noticed that I forget to give the dragable objects an instance names!
    after making the instance names to them, a new error occures:
    E:\FL\ActionScript\Drag and Drop Project\Targets.as, Line 11
    1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: paper1.
    This error is continuing to paper2, paper3.....paper12 !
    Please download my project, I must deliver it to my college in 24/12. I will never forget your favor. thanks.
