How do I maintain the configuration of my current Catalog in PSE9 when moving it to a new computer?

While the Version Sets in my current catalog are collapsed, the version sets in the Catalog on the new computer have all become 'expanded'; this is unacceptable to me, as many of the pairs that are stacked as Version Sets have become separated.  While all of the Version Sets are "tagged", it looks as though many of the photos in the expanded sets are without tags.  Problem #2 is that the hierarchy of Keyword Tags that I currently use is lost when the Catalog is restored in the new computer's Organizer.  I currently use about 500 Keyword Tags, divided into 6 categories (i.e. People, Places, Locations, Events, Other, Bird Species).  On the new computer, the tags are alphabetized without being separated into their 6 categories.  I currently have close to 30,000 items in my Catalog, and have spent hundreds, perhaps thousands, of hours editing (and saving both the original and  edited files as  Version Sets), tagging and captioning all of my photos.  I followed the instructions previously published in "Photoshop Elements Help" regarding backup to an external hard drive and restoring the files in an empty Organizer on the new computer.  I also used the "Save Keyword Tags To File" command before the backup.  Any suggestions to remedy my two major problems would be appreciated.  I do have the intact "current" Catalog on my old computer, complete with tags and captions, collapsed version sets, and a list of Keyword Tags organized in the Hierarchy that has worked best for me.

Hi,
The version set information and the tag hierarchy are stored within the catalog. It sounds as though you haven't brought over the catalog from your old computer.
The recommended way to transfer elements from one computer to a new one is to use the Backup catalog to CD, DVD or Hard Drive on your old system and then use Restore catalog from CD, DVD or Hard Drive on your new system. Is this how you did it?
That should have preserved your version sets.

  • My computer crashed and I lost my itunes library.  How can I save the sons that are current on my ipod if I plug into a new computer and restore itunes?

    My computer crashed and I lost my entire itunes library.  If I replace the computer and re-load itunes how can I keep all of the music that currently on my ipod?

    Ipod syncing is not one way. You just have to know what to do...
    I can see you use windows. Connect ipod to pc, but don't install or dont open itunes - dont alow itunes to sync automaticly). Then open explorer, enable hidden files, open your ipod (as you would any disc) open hidden file with strange names and copy all of them on your new hard drive. Then drag all this strange-named files in your itunes...woooo...now those strange names become your songs...it is magick
    I you won't i can send you step by step guide...
    Take care.

  • How can i import the music from my phone on to my itu nes account on a new computer

    hello my name is Brandon, my hard drive on my laptop fried out and i am currently stting up my itunes on a different laptop. I want to be able to keep all of my music but everytime i connect my iphone to my laptop it says that all music will be lost and only the music that is on the laptop now will be imported to my phone. my music is my life and i love the playlist i have now but there are songs that i have on this laptop that i really want on my phone for when i workout. Can someone please tell me how i can save my music.

    It depends on eaxactly what is wrong with the old laptop. If you're lucky the drive can be extracted and connected to a new computer to extract the data. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How do I transfer the music content on my old IPOD (click wheel) to Itunes in my new computer for subsequent transfer to a new IPOD

    How do I transfer music on my old IPOD( click wheel) to Itunes on my new computer(Windows 8) for further transfer to a new IPOD nano

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Synching iPad to older PC with less memory - it ran out of space when synching movies - how to synch in the future if we can't free up more space (besides buying a new computer)

    In synching ****...
    Tried to synch iPad with several movies with a PC that turns out to have less memory than what we were synching.
    Turned off synching of movies to try to help the situation...
    WRONG!
    Two of our purchased movies were deleted in the synch process.
    We got them out of the PCs recycle bin but now how have them on the PC, but not on the iPad.
    How do we (a) get the movies back on to the iPad and
    (b) solve the longer-term issue of synching if the PC can't hold as much as the iPad does?

    He doent have to , we already know he's got a xp machines, and from the fact that he's able to sync his iPad to it tells me enough, it's enough to know he has the basic requirements to connect an external drive via USB, now we know it's an older machine so it more than likely he's got a ton of .tmp files taking up space,and the fact that he's asking this question makes me think he may not be aware of how to  search the HD via *.tmp from the command line to location and delete those files, so w/o buying a new machine, his only option is intsalling a new Internal or external hard drive.

  • How can I maintain the classification in UI when creating a new BP?

    Hi,
    In SAP GUI the classification can be maintained in tab “classification”.

    Hi Anand,
    thanks for your prompt answer.
    By default all ship-to-parties are assigned to classification “Customer”. How can we assign a different classification to ship-to-parties in UI? The view “Account classification” seems to be different from the tab “classification” in SAP GUI.

  • How do we maintain the same number?

    We are in the process of signing up for another year and are concerned the number we've used will expire and we will be forced to get a new number.  How can we maintain the same skype number with the new year's subscription?  Is this automatic?  Are we on the panic button for no good reason?  Please advise...
    M & P @ DVillage

    the subscription will automatically renew with the same number, but even if it were to expire, the number is held for you for 90 days

  • I have been sharing my iTunes account with my kids...now they are getting older and want to have their own accounts, how do I share the songs I purchased for them on my account with them on their new accounts?

    I have been sharing my iTunes account with my kids...now they are getting older and want to have their own accounts, how do I share the songs I purchased for them on my account with them on their new accounts?  Is there a way to transer from my main account their new accounts?  And can I share music from my account with them?

    You can't currently transfer content from one account to another account. As long as the tracks are on the computer's iTunes that they use/sync to, and your account is authorised on that iTunes, then they should be able to continue to use them.

    - Note that apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

    Question: The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

    Absolutely - but I had no idea there were two versions. When I got my new laptop I just went to the Adobe site to download and install LR5. It never asked if I had a license; it just directed me to install CC to start a trial which I thought I could license after downloading. Several sessions and many hours of looking through the forums and Google for an answer I never ran across anything that made this distinction. I still haven't found a path from www.adobe.com that would get me to the standalone download page (it's probably there, wasn't obvious to me) and looking at the download page it doesn't make any CC/standalone distinction.
    There are many places I could have gotten a hint - for instance the license could be tagged "stand alone edition", the CC-version could recognize the stand-alone key and either accept it or produce a more meaningful error message, or the download site or the CC app could ask if I had previously purchased a key, etc.
    It was my error to assume this was a deactivation problem, but it looked the same as a previous deactivation problem with Photoshop.
    In any event, thank you for your help.

    Is there really no possibilty to do this?
