  • Restoring v8 catalog to new computer with v12

    i have just bought a new computer with windows 8 and installed elements version 12; my old laptop had elements version 8 on it and I did a full backup of the catalog to an external hard drive.  I have gone through the restore catalog process but cant see any photos either in the organiser or in my pictures.  I did the convert step but it said it conversion failed and suggested repairing the backup with previous version which is not possible as the computer was a work machine which has now been wiped and rebuilt and I dont have version 8 anymore!! when it did the convert step it only seemed to find breeze files.  I'm now stuck as to what to do next - can anyone help, please

    The renamed catalog folders with the suffix 1 or 1 1 are in the PSE8 format.
    Your PSE10 converted catalog should have the old name.
    It should contain the database file : catalog.pse12db.
    First be sure that your explorer is set to show hidden files, then search in the explorer for that catalog.pse12db file.
    Double click on the catalog.pse12db file to open PSE12 with the new restored catalog.
    Does it work for you ?

  • Help Needed to Reactivate Dreamweaver MX2004 on new computer

    I have been trying to reactivate My Dreamweaver MX2004 on my new Windows 7 computer that I had on my previous computer. 
    [serial numbers removed by moderator]
    I have even tried calling to reactivate but get only a busy signal using the regular line.  I cannot get through on the toll free so I have spent time and money calling the regular number to no avail.
    My website in on the web, using Go Daddy as my host, but I cannot get to it to change anything because I can not activate my Dreamweaver on my new computer.  What do I do?

    MX is a decade or more old now.  And it might not run very well on modern operating systems since it wasn't designed for them.  If you're up against a deadline, you could join the Cloud for a free 30-day trial & get DW CS6 or CC on your desktop.

  • Lost Bridge when hard drive crashed.  Restored bridge on new computer. Recovered hard disk using DiskWarrior but cannot rebuild directory due to critical errors. Now need to restore just photos to new computer.  Need to know which file in Bridge photos re

    After multiple recovery attempts I finally used DiskWarrior to download saved files/folder/applicatiions to external hard drive.  I cannot get old version (5.0) of bridge to run.  Redownload Bridge (5.1) but still need to recover my photos.
    Any advise on how this can be accomplished.

    Bridge is only a browser. It does not contain any files. You need to find out where you saved your photos, and hope they are still accessible on the crashed drive... Just copy them over to your new drive.

  • Transfer Catalog to new computer after I've deleted photos on old

    I still use Photoshop Elements 5.0 since it does the basic things I need, although I could upgrade if necessary. My problem is that I want to transfer the CATALOG from my old XP computer to my new Win7 but I mistakenly deleted the photos (not the catalog) from my XP already! The photos are on my new computer but most of the catalog is not. Can I back up the catalog only, restore it to my new computer, and have it reconnect to the photos on my new computer? I have already seen the help articles on “Use Backup, Restore to move catalog” and “Common catalog upgrade issues”, but I don’t want to backup and restore the catalog and get everything messed up! BTW, although all the photos are on my new computer, the Win7 catalog references only August 2010 and May 2011-July 2012; the XP catalog contains references from July 2007-April 2011 (August 2010 is on both).

    Hi again, Ken. Thanks for all your help with this issue. I wanted to test my various ideas before responding to your latest message.
    Since I had a conglomeration of different images and captions on each computer, I defined what was where for each folder. All photos were on my new computer, some captioned many not, but most were not in a PSE catalog. Some but not all photos were on my old computer after I loaded photos from an incomplete flash drive copy, either captioned or not. I was afraid to do any backup and restores in case I messed things up further.
    Since I had more complete files on my new computer, I decided to work with it instead of backing up and restoring from my old. I decided to start with my new computer to “Get Photos” from folders not in a catalog; that includes most of my photos. I tested these depending on whether or not they were captioned and whether or not they were already in the catalog. I created a matrix to determine how to handle each “type” of folder: HD only, HD captioned, PSE only, PSE captioned, and various combinations. Don’t try to parse this! I tested each type of folder to determine what I had to do for each and made notes so I can complete the job as time permits.
    Soon I will perform a full backup. When I have “completed” the restoration task, I should be able to do an incremental backup and have everything on a 16GB flash drive, right?
    Yes, complicated, but I have learned a LOT about working with Photoshop Elements, and your comments have helped me with that. So, thanks for your attention to my problem. I still have a bunch of work to do, but I think I know what I’m doing now. At this point I can delete all photos and catalogs from my old computer (a 2005 Dell Inspiron 6000) and give it to a friend whose computer is even older (a 1998 or older computer that is barely operational).
    Again, thanks for your help!

  • How do i find out what my serial number is? I cannot find the software and need to put it on a new computer. How do I do this?

    I cannot find the software and need to put it on a new computer. How do I do this? I do not remember where the software is yet it is on my computer along with Photoshop CS6 extended. I have that disk but cant find anything else.

    gr8gear,
    You can see (only) part of the registration number under Help>About Illustrator.
    If you have registered it with Adobe (optional up to CS4), you should be able to see it on your products page

  • I just got a new computer. I need to install CS6 to my new computer but don't have my serial number and my old computer will not download and install crative cloud!

    I just got a new computer. I need to install CS6 to my new computer but don't have my serial number and my old computer will not download and install crative cloud!   HELP!!!!!!!

    In this complicated case, I think it's important that you get your work in.
    The Photography Plan includes Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. Open an account with them and for $10 a month you can be back in business which I think nets you more than $10. It's what I do. You can do this immediately. You get two seats and they can be either Mac or PC.
    In your spare time you can sort out the license issue and cancel the plan later on if this is fixed.
    If you don't want to go there, then you will have to call Customer Service by phone and hope they can fix this.

    I'm a user like yourself and aside from pointing you to Help docs, I have no authority to fix activation issues.
    Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product" | CS6, CS5.5, CS5

    Best of luck, whatever you do.

    Install it just as you did before. You should have backed up the download to a CD or backup HD and have the S/N archived with the backup. If you did not backup (please do in the future), you can download from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html unless it was an upgrade (I don't think you can use these files for upgrades).

  • How can get 40,000 pix from old computer restored by Carbonite to new computer into PE 11 or 12?

    I bought a new,  faster, more storage Windows 8 computer.
    I had 40,000 pix on old computer tagged with names, event, location, date with PE 11. Also several projects involving hundreds of pix.
    Carbonite restored all files (250 gig) from old computer to new, and their tech support says they all are on the new computer.
    I bought the new PE 12 and installed it on new computer.  It has only found 4,000 pix.  I don't at all like PE 12 after enjoying PE2-11 and managing all my  pix with it.  PE11 was clearer in the pix presentation.
    Apparently when imported to the new computer, I lost the tags that went to events, location, and the person tags did not  separate family from friends etc.  I can't even find my projects.
    I was so frustrated with PE12, that I installed PE11, but everytime I try to open the Organizer, it doesn't open.
    Help.  I am so frustrated.  I am pretty sure  before I made the transition that I had written all tags to files.  When I put PE11 on the new computer, why won't it give me what I had on the old.
    This is probably my 10th generation computer change, and I never had such problems before with PE.

    I am using 10 and 11 instead of 11 and  12.  I tried to go back and edit,
    but couldn't figure out how.  Sorry,  typing errorC.
