Ho do I convert my Elements 5 Catalog to Elements 13 which I just purchased.  I followed one of the tutorials and converted my Elements 5 Catalog to a "pse.13db" file.  How do I get Elements 13 to recognize that converted file?  When I open Elements 13 Catalog Manager and browse to the correct location, it doesn't show the file.  Help!  Thanks

Yes - I can run both versions on my PC.  But I really would like to have all of my pictures in the same catalog.
You can't merge catalogs (even PSE13 ones) in any PSE version (only LR can do that). So, converting catalogs is not the solution to your problem.
Since you have PSE5 working on your computer and your images also, the solution is to 'write metadata to files in PSE5) and to re-import the images in the PSE13 catalog. That won't duplicate your image files and you'll lose albums/collections, stacks and version sets, but you'll recover tags, captions and ratings.
To be able to re-import the files indexed in PSE5, you may have to move them to a new master folder.
I am not sure what your problem with the conversion may be. It's quite possible that the resulting catalog.pse13db is ok and that the issue lies in the ability to open it in the PSE13 organizer.
As stated by dj_page, double clicking on that file should open the organizer with the new catalog. You could test that by creating a dummy catalog in PSE13 and importing a small batch of photos. Locate the path of the catalog with the menu Help/system info. Copy the catalog.pse13db in another folder and the 'double click' way to open the organizer with that moved catalog database.
For other users that may be interested in using PSE5 (issued in 2006) on newer OS, here is a useful link:

  • How do you get iphoto to recognize that a computer really is connected to the internet?  I cannot use places to locate my photos, because the software keeps telling me my computer is not connected.  I know the computer is connected.

    How do I get iphoto to recognize that a computer really is connected to the internet?  I cannot use places to locate my photos, because the software keeps telling me my computer is not connected.  I know the computer is connected.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. It the problem persists  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If the new library does'nt have that problem then your original library is damaged. Post back if that's the case and we'll go from there.

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize that I have already downloaded a song?

    I have a song I have purchased and downloaded.  When looking at the "Songs" view the song is listed twice.  One with a cload download button next to it even though I already have it downloaded.  I deleted the existing file and it was still listed twice, this time with a cload button next to both listings.  How do I get iTunes to recognize that I have purchased it only once?

    I've tried all of that and iTunes still won't sync my phone. I've deauthroized my computer than reauthorized it. I've deauthorized all computers then reauthorized my computer and every time I go to sync, iTunes keeps telling me my computer isn't authorized.

    i updated my iphone and lost all my notes there is lots of important notes, how can i get em back especially that on itunes when i sync my iphone a note appear that there is no back up on icloud,and i cannot restore?

    Without a backup on iCloud, there needs to be another device using the same @icloud address that is syncing to the notes.  Without that, there is no way to go back in time to create a backup before performing a major update.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I have an older G5 tower Power PC and the OS 10.5.8, but the firefox and safari browers are no longer supporting this computer. How can I download an older version that works with this computer?

    I have an older G5 tower Power PC and the OS 10.5.8, but the firefox and safari browers are no longer supporting this computer. How can I download an older version that works with this computer?
    Or what is the newest OS system I can load onto this computer?
    I think it is from 2006

    Hello,
    10.5.8 is the highest OSX it can run.
    TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
    SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...

    Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.

  • The passwords and usernames i have for my sites got erased, how can i get them back or reset them so when i open them they nolonger ask me por that info like gmail

    Firefox deleted all of my saved usernames and passwords for the sites i allowed them, For instance I can no longer click gmail and be at my e-mail and see my email, but i am promoted for password and username.

    ''passwords and usernames i have for my sites got erased''
    Did you have them after updating Firefox, or did you lose your passwords as well. If you lost everything you either created a new profile and are in it, or you accidentally/intentionally cleared your history (see picture link). If you cleared your history, the changes are permanent and they are gone.
    If you cleared your history, except for bookmarks in backups, you will have to try for
    #Data in an older profile, for most people this would only be if one accidentally created a new profile, such as during a Firefox installation.
    #Your own backups
    #Old password, cookies from Internet Explorer
    Use the "Alt" key to temporarily see your toolbars. Use the view menu to display any toolbars that should be displayed, such as the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    Check these:
    *Do you have bookmarks Ctrl+B (Bookmarks sidebar), if you don't see your own bookmarks but you see those from when you first installed Firefox, you are probably in a new profile, using the Profile Manager could bring up another profile.
    *Check your current bookmarkbackups for dates
    :On current profile, you can check dates, and restore/replace current bookmarks from a backup. "Ctrl+Shift+B" to bring up the Library List, then in the "Import and Backup" menu, choose Restore to see what dates are available. This will tell you the last 11 dates you used your current profile in Fx5 (5 days if Fx3). You can restore if your bookmarks are messed up.
    Profile: ''Find out if there are multiple profiles''
    :type in '''about:support''' into the location bar<br>:Click on "Open containing folder"<br>:You are now in your current profile<br>:go up one directory level to "'''Profiles'''", where you can see if you have more than one profile directory<br>:files of interest (check last used/update dates) within profile: places.sqlite file, and within bookmarkbackups folder are .json bookmark backups for dates.
    '''Deleting History/Lost History''' (Tools -> options -> Privacy), make sure you are not clearing in "Settings for Clearing History" anything but cache. The items you have check-marked there will be cleared at end of session if "Clear history when Firefox closes" is check-marked. If under tools you click on "Clear recent history Ctrl+Shift+Del" you should be asked for how much history to delete {1hr, 2hr, 4hr, today, everything} and what to clear in the details drop-down. Make sure when using the location bar you are displaying both "History and Bookmarks" so the AwesomeBar can look for items from both.

    '''You should be backing your for Firefox profiles''', there is not a lot of data and you should be backing up frequently. The is a lot more data for other applications in you Windows user library and you should be backing up data from there as well.
    When you backup all of your user data to external hard-drive (500GB to 3TB) your Firefox profiles would be included.
    But this is about Firefox. For Firefox a thumb drive would probably suffice to backup one or more profiles.
    '''backing up your Firefox Profiles''' (the following is all on one line)
    xcopy C:\Users\''<username>''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.* g:\profiles\*.* /s /d /h /y /c /q

  • Got a new computer. old computer fell unable to access any infrmation how do i safely get the music stored on my iphone back on itunes and how can i get my aps back that where erased when trying to syn my iphone to my new computer

    This my second computer in the last two years. The first one fell and broke but I had only $20 worth of Itune stuff on the first one so I did not bother however this second computer I have tons of apps and music. I have lost all my apps while I was trying to backup my iphone with my new computer. I am wondering how can i get those apps back. How can I safely syn my iphone to my new computer without losing any more stuff.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Certainly after losing everything once, you started doing the basics and have a backup copy.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( twice), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone:  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Make sure that you have your computer authorized to your itunes account.

  • How do I get back old emails that were lost when I changed my email address?

    I changed email providers. I have the new account set up. I then went to Tools/Account Settings/Account Actions. I then removed the old account (assuming that it would stay in my inbox and just not try to send or receive) and all of the old incoming and sent emails that I had been saving under that account in my inbox and sent files folders disappeared. How do I get them back?

    Which program do you use for email: Thunderbird? Outlook Express? Other?
    As you may know, you can set up accounts using two different protocols: POP3 and IMAP. With POP3, you actually download copies of all mail and Sent messages are stored locally. Removing your account should be no problem. With IMAP, you are viewing a mirror of your mail which really lives on the server. Removing an IMAP account might remove the folders, although I can't recall ever trying it.

  • How do I get my bookmarks back that were lost when I updated to Firefox 6?

    I have Windows 7. I updated from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 6. After the update my bookmarks were gone. There is nothing in my bookmarks or bookmarks toolbar. How can I get them back?

    This might happen if you were previously using the Google Toolbar add-on to store your bookmarks. Google has [http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html discontinued the Google Toolbar add-on] and it is not available for newer versions of Firefox.
    If this is the cause of the problem, then you can still access your Google Bookmarks at [http://www.google.com/bookmarks google.com/bookmarks], or you can install one of the add-ons listed here: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Google_Toolbar_features_without_toolbars Using Google Toolbar features without toolbars].
    Or if you were using another add-on to store your bookmarks, you can try re-enabling it by installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter].
    If none of these steps help, you can also try the instructions at [[Lost Bookmarks]].

  • I connected my brothers 6plus to my iTunes and i showed that i could back up his old 5 info or a new phone so i chose the 5 and now all of his 6plus data is gone! how do i get it back?

    i connected my brothers iPhone 6plus onto my iTunes and it showed up that i could choose to back it up as a new phone or to an existing iPhone so i chose his old iPhone 5 and after the backup he went on his phone and everything that he had from his iPhone 6plus was gone and changed to what he had on his old iPhone 5! how can i get all the pictures and contacts from his 6plus back onto it?

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

    Sara ~ Apple's mission statement is HERE. But the following statement from Apple's now-CEO Tim Cook during a quarterly earnings conference call on 21 January 2009 may give more insight:
    "There is an extraordinary breadth and depth and tenure among the Apple executive team, and these executives lead over 35,000 employees that I would call "all wicked smart". And that's in all areas of the company, from engineering to marketing to operations and sales and all the rest. And the values of our company are extremely well entrenched.
    We believe that we're on the face of the Earth to make great products, and that's not changing. We're constantly focusing on innovating. We believe in the simple, not the complex. We believe that we need to own and control the primary technologies behind the products we make, and participate only in markets where we can make a significant contribution.
    We believe in saying no to thousands of projects so that we can really focus on the few that are truly important and meaningful to us. We believe in deep collaboration and cross-pollination of our groups, which allow us to innovate in a way that others cannot.
    And frankly, we don't settle for anything less than excellence in every group in the company, and we have the self-honesty to admit when we're wrong and the courage to change. And I think, regardless of who is in what job, those values are so embedded in this company that Apple will do extremely well."
