I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. (My new compute runs Windows 8.1) How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer? Is this possible or do I have to use the procedure of copying the catalog along with the photos to a back up hard drive and then restore them on the new computer?

The 'normal' procedure is to do a PSE organizer backup (not a copy or a backup from external tools) to an external drive, then a restore to the new location.
The advantage is that you have a backup of both catalog and media files and you don't have all disconnected files, which would happen with external backup tools. Also, if you restore with a more recent elements version, the catalog will be automatically updated to the new format.
The drawback in your situation is that you'll have either to overwrite all your files or restore to a custom location, creating a duplicate photo library (which supposes you have enough free space).
It would be possible to simply use the organizer in the old PC to move the catalog to a new 'custom' folder just under your C: root drive. The catalog would be accessible once the drive will be installed in the new PC. Then you would have all files 'disconnected' due to the fact that all your media files are now on a drive with a different letter. Reconnecting a whole library is a hard job with PSE6, less so with PSE11/PSE12.
If the idea of fiddling with the sqlite database with external sqlite manager tools is ok for you, I can describe the process more in detail. You only copy your catalog folder (as suggested above) to another location. Instead of trying the 'reconnection' way, you install the sqlite utility on the new computer. When the old drive is installed in the new computer, you simply edit a given record in the catalog database, catalog.psedb, and start the organizer with your copied catalog by simply double clicking the 'catalog.psedb' file.
Even if the last solution is much, much quicker, I would still create a new PSE backup : you have never too much safety .

How do I get my catalogs from elements 8 to elements 11? [was:transfering catalogs]

How do I get my catalogs from elements 8 to elements 11?

It depends...
If you are still on the same computer and OS, the Organizer in PSE11 (or PSE12) will be able to convert the old catalog to its own format, while keeping the old catalog unchanged.
If you are changing computer, drive or OS, the best method is via a full backup and restore:

Why can't I backup my catalog in PSE6?

Every time I try to backup my catalog in PSE6 I get the message"The exception unknown software exception (0xc000000d) occurred in the application at location 0x78138aa0." And the programme shuts down.
There was some suggestion that deleting preferences would help but I couldn't find them! I then uninstalled and re-installed but still the same problem.
Help please.

How long have you had PSE6? Is this new behavior? If so what’s changed recently.
Are you using C; drive or external hdd which sometimes throws up these Windows errors. The messages themselves are only of use to Microsoft developers.

How to migrate MULTIPLE PSE10 catalogs to another PC

I have bought a new PC.
On my old PC I have PSE 10 with three catalogs.
To move these catalogs (with several thousands of photos), I have followed the instructions in the help page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
So, I made backups of all three catalogs to an external disc.
I then connected the external disc to the new PC and started to restore the first catalog.
That went fine.
Then I restored the second catalog.
That also went fine.
But then I discovered that the first catalog had disappeared....
I expected that in the menu where you can switch catalog, both catalogs would be shown.
But it only showed the last catalog that I restored.
To make sure, I tried to restore the first catalog again.
Again that went fine. But now only this catalog is there, and the other one is disappaered again.
What am I doing wrong?
How do you migrate MULTIPLE catalogs from one PC to another PC?
I do not know whether it is relevant: The old PC is running Windows 7, the new PC is running Windows 8.1.

How can I recover my Catalog?

I lost my hard drive and my backup drives. I paid to have my hard drive recovered to a new external drive. I have purchased a new PC and reinstalled Photshop Elements 7.0. I recovered my pictures. How can I copy my catalog files from the data they restored for me to my new PC? What are the files I need to copy and where are they? I have 7 years worth of data. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you! It worked. In my first attempt, I went to the wrong location and copied my old Catalog from Version 5 of Photoshop Elements. I read all of the instructions carefully this morning, and discovered that Version 7 stored the Catalog in a different location. Therefore I went to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\ Photoshop Elements \Catalogs\My Catalog and copied everything in My Catalog, on my recovered drive, to the same location on my new PC. I opened Photoshop Elements 7, and it worked. All of my Catalog entries, Tags, etc. were there. Case closed. It is easy when you do it right. Thanks again. This is my first experience using a forum and it was a life saver.
One other mistake I made was choosing a different account name on my new PC. Because the account name is part of the path, for example C:\Documents and Settings\Karl Johnson\My Documents\My Pictures, I had to go back to my old account name. (I thought I would shorten it from Karl Johnson to Karl but I had to change it back.)

How do I backup voice memos from iPhone 4 to my Macbook with iOS 6.0?

How do I backup voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my MacBook, with iOS 6?
I have synchronised them a hundred times but iTunes just doesn't backup my voice memos. And I haven't seen a playlist called "Voice Memos" on the left sidebar either...

Look for Voice Memos under Genres in iTunes.
With the phone connected, click on its name on the left. Then click on the Music tab on the right. Is "Include voice memos" checked?

How can I backup my iPad to another iPad backup on my same account. They're both listed on my list of backups, but it won't let me choose to backup to the one I want on my other iPad which I no longer have. But I specifically want the pictures

How can I backup my iPad to another iPad backup I have on my same iCloud account. The old one is totally gone. Both backups are listed on my iCloud account. So is there any way I can backup the one I have now to the other one. I really just want the pictures that are in the old backup. I have tried resetting and erasing all settings and data on the one I still have, but when I go to restore by iCloud; it only gives me the choice of restoring the same iPad. Then in iCloud>storage>backup, I'm still not able to choose which backup to backup to. I've even tried deleting the backup to the iPad I still have, then resetting all setting and data on the iPad, hoping that in resetting up the iPad it would give me the option to backup to my old iPad. But it doesn't. It still has memory of the backup of my newer iPad.
I JUST WANT THE PICTURES!!!
Thank you!!!

You now need to get your pictures back! The similar to you, after I updated my iPad Mini, I can't get my some files on device. I tried many ways, fortunately, I got a tool from http://tinyurl.com/Data-Recovery-iPhone to help me recover lost files easily! It supports iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc iOS devices!

No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is...

No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is in the "example" folder, So that I can delete the account on my mail app?

Not sure what you mean. Deleting a POP account only deletes the messages stored in the account’s mailboxes, not any messages stored in custom “On My Mac” mailboxes, if that’s what you mean. It’s not that Mail goes after your mail trying to delete as much as it can. It’s just that if a mail account is deleted, then its mailboxes cannot exist anymore...
That said, instead of deleting the account right away, you can just disable it (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), leave it that way for some time, and delete it only after making sure you didn’t miss anything while the account was disabled.
BTW, if you back up your data, and the ~/Library/Mail folder in particular, you won’t have to worry about accidentally losing anything as a result of doing something like that...
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

How can I make different catalogs from the same image

How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

How do I backup my iPhoto Library to an external hard drive and keep my photos grouped by their events?

How can I backup my iPhoto Library to an external hard drive and keep my photos grouped by their events?

I have attempted to make sure my iPhoto library has been backed up on the external hard drive and that it is safe to delete some events from my internal hard drive
You need to think this through.
Time Machine is a back up application. It keeps a rolling back up of the data. It's called rolling because it means you can revert to the data you had on a specific date and time. But that's not eternal, and as time goes by, and your drive fills up, older backups are deleted. So if you delete Events on your Mac they will - eventually - also be deleted from the Time Machine back up.
If you wan tot archive data hendon't use Time Machine for that job. Here's how you might archive an iPhoto Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

HT1373 How do I backup my itunes library to an external drive

My iTunes library is unstable. I have two questions:
1) How do I backup my iTunes library to an external drive?
2) Why am I constatntly prompted to add my computer to iCloud when I have done so multiple times?
When opening iTunes, I receive he error message: "Please Sign In Again, iTunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and he Sign In from the iTunes Store menu and try again."
I tried downloading and installing/repairing the latest iTunes. That did not correct the problem.
Also, I have sync'd to iCloud. Every time I select iMatch from iTunes, I am prompted to Add This Computer to iCloud. I have already done this multiple times.
