Frustrating switch to new elements or new computer

I had an earlier elements 5 I believe. About 5 years ago I got a new computer and needed to transfer my pictures and programs. I reviewed how this was done online and transferred the program and pictures so everything would go smoothly. Nothing went smoothly. I grew duplicate pictures, my tags disappeard, my dates were screwed up. ONE BIG HEADACHE. I fixed all the issues and then bought an upgraded elements 10. Same thing happened. Got that all sorted out and then had to buy a new computer. Again the same thing happened. I am now in the middle of all of this and wonder what my future holds with Adobe elements. I cannot go through another one of these episodes. Can I hire someone to transfer my program to another computer OR transfer my pictures to an upgraded element?. Does anyone have any contacts in Salt Lake City, or does anyone have any super great tutorials. What I found on the web for this was useless as you can tell.

How to Switch to New Computer?

My old computer crashed (motherboard gone) so I'm on a new pc. I can not use the old pc at all. I still have all of my songs and vids on my iPod (5G, but how do I use the new iTunes on the new computer and get all of the songs and playlists from my iPod on there?
If I hook my iPod up to the new (completely blank) iTunes will it wipe out my iPod's songs?
Help please!!

Gale,
First off read this article "How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93779 or another method here: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/faqs/answers/how-do-i-stop-the-ipod-from-auto-s yncing-when-connected-to-itunes-if-i-auto/
Then have a look at one of these iPod to PC utilities for retrieving your music.

Duplicate songs in iTunes after switching to new computer

I recently changed from an old Win XP computer to a new Win 8.1 computer. While it seems that Microsoft attempted to simplify file management and make a lot of it automatic, I honestly don't understand how it all works.
I'm sure it was probably user error, but somehow now many of my songs - mostly my MP3s - are in iTunes twice.
When I right-click on the duplicate songs, I can see that they're in two locations. But what I don't know is if they're in two "different" physical locations on the hard drive or if they're in two different "virtual" locations that Win 8.1 sees as two different places, though they may be the same. I hope that made sense.
To make it more clear (hopefully), these are the 2 locations:
C:\users\anthony\music\mp3\songname (song name here)
C:\documents and settings\anthony\mydocuments\mymusic\mp3\songname (same song name here)
Are the songs actually on my hard drive twice or does iTunes just see them that way. And how do I fix it so I have only one instance of each song onmy hard drive and one instance of each song in iTunes?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

It turns out that the problem was that I had reached my limit of five authorized systems on my iTunes user, and had to de-authorize my old system and authorize the new one. The error message could be a lot more helpful....

ITunes store errors after switching to new computer

I am in process of moving everything from one Mac to another. I'm doing it by hand so I don't carry along all the old cruft left behind by programs that I deleted long ago. I've done this before without problems, but this time iTunes is giving me some trouble.
I can log in to the Store and access my profile, and I can play music that is already in my library. But when I try to download updates to some of my iPhone apps, or an album I pre-ordered that is now ready for pickup, I get one of two messages:
We could not completely your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-4).
Could not purchase "". An unknown error occurred (3027).
Google has failed me completely on figuring out what those errors really are. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am assuming the problem is with me and that the store really isn't having issues today.
Thanks in advance,
janine

Switching to new computer

I have a 5G ipod which has always been connected to a PC. I have a new Macbook pro. I have backed up all items from itunes on the pc and restored them on the mac. the mac is now authorized. I can't find my games (on the mac). I was about to do a restore on the ipod so that it can be formatted for mac but i am afraid I'd lose the games. Should I go ahead? Will I have to pay for games again? Thanks- Dwayne

Hello Dwayne,
U'd want to back up the games as best you can. Go to your location for your iTunes folder. enter games and get "mini putt.ipg" (or whatever game it is) and copy/paste it to another location. This is the game but not authorized so when its on your mac then you'll authorize it again.
This is simply a matter of the Mac vs. Windows rivalry, not much we can do about that.

Installed PS CS5 on new computer. Can no longer open .NEF files. Plug in won't install

Very frustrated. Bought new computer. Installed PS CS5. It won't open my Nikon 7000 .NEF (RAW) files. Tried to download and install the plug in but keep getting error saying I need to redownload and reinstall Adobe Application Manager. I do that, and still the same issue.
Anyone have any ideas?

More info. Using Windows 7.
Also, when I go to Help/About Plug Ins/Camera RAW, I find that I am supposed to have version 6.0 of the plug in, but there seems to be no way to update that plug in.
So, I went to the website and searched FOR AGES until I found the download page for the updates. First I tried to update to 8.5. No go. So I searched until I found the first version that supported the D7000 .NEF files (6.3). Tried to download that. Got the error message telling me to download and reinstall the download manager. Did so. Tried to download and install 6.3 again. Same error.

Problems downloading Photoshop Elements 9 software to my new computer using Windows 8

Can someone please assist me in getting my software to work on my new computer.
I have installed the disc...... almost at the end of installation the computer froze and eventually after a couple of hours, I removed the disc and interupted the installation. I switched the computer off and restarted. I then tried to uninstall.... but then was prompted to put the disc back in to unistall, but the program looked like it was trying to install again!
Eventually after waiting for about half an hour, nothing was happening and i have given up. I just want to use my software!
i then went into the Control Panel>All control panel Items>troubleshooting> selected> system and security> fix problems with windows update - now I can actually open the photoshop version.... but when I trying to do something to the photo, an error appeared and shut down the photoshop!
Basically can I use this software with my new windows 8 computer? If not is it possible to download and pay for an upgraded version so I can use with Windows 8?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi There
Thanks for your reply. The error messages i can find are as follows:-
ERROR 1705. A previous installation for this product is in progress. You must undo the changes made by that installation to continue. Do you want to undo those changes?
YES or NO
then I found this

This is very frustrating
I have just done what you suggested to turn off the UAC and turned off the security. when you say run as admin - what do you mean?
Thanks again for any response.

Switching itunes to new computer without losing the title editing

Im curious if anyone knows a way to switch Itunes songs to a new computer without having a USB port. My old computer i have broken all of them (the reason I got a new computer) and im not sure how to switch my music to the new itunes on the new computer without having to re-edit ALL of my songs. I download all of my music not through I tunes and keep the music in its own folder. Then I just add it to itunes. The issue is I have to edit each song in itunes so the title is correct and only has the song title and not the artist or other stuff in the title. Im worried that if I download Itunes on the new computer and it automatically syncs all my music that ill have to go back and re-edit ALL of the songs. Which took hours to do the first time. I have all my music on the new computer- did it via file sharing across the network. Anyone have any idea on how to do this? I wish I could just hook the ipod up and have them transfer in to itunes so the editing stays.

If you can still access the old computer across your network, you should copy the iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file) from old to new. The metadata that you see in iTunes is a combination of information held within that database and the properties/tags embedded within your media files. iTunes actually works much better with respect to creating/maintaining backups and transferring your library between computers if you configure it to copy music, etc. into the iTunes Media folder and to organize the files & subfolders within it, so that the library (by default in Windows Vista/7/8 C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes) has this structure:
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "The issue is I have to edit each song in itunes so the title is correct and only has the song title and not the artist or other stuff in the title." Almost all (legitimate) sources - importing from your own CDs, purchases from the iTunes Store, Amazon, etc. - will always have separate metadata elements for Artist, Song Name, Album and Track No. (and in many cases will also have Album Artist, Disc No., Disc Count, and Track Count. There are cases where changes you make after importing to iTunes may be overridden for iTunes Store purchases and/or if you subscribe to iTunes Match - this behavior can be disabled by ensuring that these options in Edit > Preferences > Advanced are not selected:
If you change these you will need to restart iTunes for the changes to take effect.

Adobe Premiere Elements 11 - install on new computer

I have previously purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 11 and have the serial number available. How do I install it on a new computer using the serial number?

jzd
The important question is "Is this Premiere Elements 11 Mac or Windows?" If Mac, did you purchase it as the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Editor from the Mac App Store?
If it is Premiere Elements 11 Windows or Premiere Elements 11 Mac from Adobe, then you can download installation files at this late date from the following web site and then insert your purchased serial number during installation.

Unable to install Adobe premier elements 9 on new computer

I received Adobe Photo Element 9 and Premier 9 some time but my old computer did not have the capacity to load it. I have a new computer and cannot load the software. How can I load it (from the CDs included with the package) to my new computer. It is a Windows 8 system with an Core I5 processor?

Hi there,
Firstly, you should have installed PRE along with PSE in the first go itself, then everything would have been smooth. If you deferred the decision, then also there was no need to uninstall PSE per se. What could have been done is go to the installer media, browse to the "PRETrial" folder and then click on the Setup.exe of PRE installer to install PRE and at the serial number screen just choose the option to install in trial mode.
Now, the error you are getting is strange. When I search over web, I found this mentioned for Error 2755:
This error may occur if there are insufficient privileges on the %windir%\Installer folder, or the inability of the Windows Installer service to create the %windir%\Installer folder.
NOTE: This behavior can also occur if you have only Read permissions to the Winnt folder. This condition prevents the Installer folder from being created by Setup.
Can you please check that?
Regards,
Ankush
