How do I restore my PSE 7 Albums in PSE 9?

When I installed PSE 9 on my Windows 7 PC, something happened and my Albums and organized Keyword Tag tree did not come over correctly. I manually re-organized my Keyword Tags but really do not want to have to manually recreate my Albums. Tech Support gave me a tip that brought over the "Albums" but not their contents. I would like to uninstall PSE 7 but before I do, I would like to give the Forum a shot in solving something Tech Support could not. Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply. I installed PSE 9 about a month ago and have already re-organized much of it to my liking and have added new albums. I don't want to risk having to re-organize what has already taken many hours to correct.Organizer behaves very strangely in this version on my PC (frequent long updates ending in error messages; ANY maneuver in Folders View takes 4-5 minutes to complete) and I suspect it is conflicting with something. My first planned move is to uninstall PSE 7, but I have a number of albums that did not come over during the installation of PSE 9 and it would be nice to somehow just move them over before I zap PSE 7 I do not want to move files to a backup and then reinstall them (over 66,000 photos, all backed up in the "cloud," and likely would have to re-associate all of them again on the server, which could take weeks with my service). I am prepared to just move on and recreate some of the albums in the future at my leisure, but thought I would give the forum a try.

How do I restore photos from Photostream Album

Hi, I have my photostream turned on in settings and I had over 400 photos in my photostream album on my iphone 5. All photos along with the photostream tab suddenly disappeared 2 days ago from album in the photo setting. I backup my phone on icloud and cant find these photos neither can I determine how to restore the photostream tab. Despite all that I have done, I am only seeing the following albums, All Photos which don't contain the photos that I had in photo streams, Videos and Recently Deleted, which also don't contain the photos that I had in photo streams. I hope that the photos were not lost as I recently also upgraded to iOS 8.1.2.
Can someone explain to me how to restore these photo as well as the photostream tab since photostream was never turned off turned off and remains on. Do I have to reset the phone to an earlier back up?

I have followed your advice and I have restored the photo stream tab by disabling the iCloud photo library.
Is the restored album empty? And none of the photos are in your "All Photos"? Are you conncted to Wi-Fi, signed in with the correct Apple ID? And the iPhone is charged? It may take a while, until the photos will download again from iCloud, if they are still in iCloud. However, photos older than a month may no longer be in iCloud.
My Photo Stream is not meant to store photos; you are supposed to download the photos to your Camera Roll during the month they are in iCloud. And Photo Stream is not included in your iCloud backup, only your Camera Roll is included in the iCloud backup.
So you can neither retrieve older photo stream photos from iCloud nor from iCloud backups.
Have you saved your iPhone photos to a computer and could restore them from there?

How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
Thank you

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

In order to properly play my music on my DAC with a headless mac mini, I had to "check" the tunes in iTunes. When I did that, the songs in each album were put in not their proper order. How do I restore them to their original sequence in each album?

In order to properly play my music on my DAC using a headless Mac Mini, I had to make sure that all of the songs in "Music" were checked. To so so, I pressed the "check box." When I did that, all of the songs in each album were resequenced in not their proper order.
How do I restore the proper order of songs for each album?

In list view, select the album column. To choose which columns appear, select an item on the left side of the window (a playlist, for example), choose View > View Options, and select the information you want to see. You can also Control-click a column heading to select columns to display.
The column selected determines how tracks are displayed. For example, clicking the "Name" column displays all tracks in alphabetical order; clicking the "Album" column displays the tracks in album order; clicking the "Date Added" column displays the tracks in the order that they were imported into your library. Columns also have a disclosure arrow at the right of the column (when selected) that you can click to reverse the order.

I take it that you have installed PSE13 on the same computer. Did you notice the dialog prompting you to 'convert' the previous catalog? If you have agreed, the old catalog (containing the albums definitions) has been converted to the PSE13 format, and you get your old albums from that catalog. If you have not agreed, it's still time to do so. Open the catalog manager in PSE13; then click on the 'convert' button. Select the old catalog from the list and convert.

How do i restore photo albums from time machine backups without duplicates?

how do i restore photo albums without duplicates from time machine backups? thx

Worth updating? Totally a personal decision. For some it would be. For others it would not?
Upgrading, if there are no problems, does not affect your data. And since bad things do happen you always have a good backup. Especially when doing any upgrade.
Your password question has nothing to do with iPhoto. Try it in the OS forum

How can I restore the albums?

I lost most of my photo albums when I recently updated the software on my iPhone. How can I restore the albums?

Did you ever get an answer on this? I'm trying to get photos back on the iPhone as well, and the best route i can come up with is to let iTunes "sync" photos, and manually recreating albums on the computer to try to add to the phone. It didn't seem to work on the first try, but after powering down the phone and rebooting it seems to be working so far. Very time intensive though, to find the desired pictures in iPhoto then "reveal in finder" and copy to the "Pictures" folder.

How can I restore my icloud e-mail address?

How can I restore my iCloud e-mail address?

You can't change and iCloud email account address once created. You can either create a new iCloud account, or add an @icloud.com email alias address to the existing account, which will receive email in your existing iCloud inbox (more details here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.
If you would rather create a new account and keep your data, start by saving any photo stream photos on your phone that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data. When you turn Mail on you will be asked to create your new iCloud email address. Type carefully as it cannot be changed later.

I have more than 300 CDs I downloaded into my computer which went to my iTunes library and have purchased hundreds of songs through iTunes store and can no longer access these songs. How can I restore my music so I can play it?

I have more than 300 CDs that I have downloaded to my computer and have purchased hundreds of songs from the iTunes store on my Mac. I cannot play any of this music now. How can I restore my iTunes library? I can see the music files, but they will not play. The message I get is that the file cannot be found. I have stopped purchasing any music from iTunes, and will not do so in the future unless this can be resolved. Why buy music if in the future you can't play it? I have not connected my ipod to my computer for months because of concerns that my music will disappear from there too.

What you see in iTunes is not the music but a pointer to the file that contains the music. Somehow these pointers have become broken. You may have accidentally deleted the file, or moved a folder, or moved a file, or renamed a folder, or renamed a file, or... iTunes is very unforgiving of you doing things to the iTunes folder unless you have it set so iTunes does not manage your music for you (in which case you really need to know how iTunes works)
If all your links are broken, or a large number are, then there are various options, none of them easy (unless you're lucky). One is when it asks you if you want to find the file that you say yes and then guide it to the file (which will probably be in a folder by artist, and then a folder by album name). Gets old fast if you have 300 CDs. Another is to undo what may have caused the links to become broken, if you can remember what it was that you might have done such as renaming a folder. Another is to just forget about your old library, ratings, and playlists, etc. and start afresh. Trash the library file in your iTunes folder, start iTunes with a blank library, then drag all your files to the new library. Another is to restore itunes from a backup you may have made before this happened.
Do you keep just media on an external drive? If you start iTunes without the external being switched on then it thinks the links are bad. Quit iTunes and start the external before restarting iTunes. You may have to scroll down through the tracks to "tickle" them into re-reading the link.
How do you have itunes set in preferences to manage your music? Have you done any changes to preferences recently, or moving folders, files, etc? Do you keep iTunes on an internal drive, or external?
In the many years of people complaining about broken links I don't think any way has been developed to mend them automatically. I saw one attempt to use Spotlight, but it didn't really work.
None of us work for Apple so it's up to you if you won't buy from them until it is fixed. We will try to help you fix it, because we're nice.

Diappearing photos replaced by an exclamation point within a triangle. Prior to loading Lion I could put the image number in finder and locate the original file for that photo. How do I restore photos now?

I had problems with photos disappearing and being replaced by an exclamation point within a triangle. I can see the photo in the thumbnail summary but when you click on it, the screen goes black and the exclamation point within a triangle appears along with the info on the original image number (i.e., img_1120.jpg). Prior to loading Lion, I could go to Finder, enter the image number and locate the original file for that photo. I could then restore it for editing, copying into Print Shop directly, etc. That no longer works after installing Lion. How do I restore photos now? I have 100s of photos that I have been going back to the original files and restoring and I am frantic that I will no longer be able to get to the original files. Please help! Thanks

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

When my photos were moved from iPhoto to Photos in the last system upgrade, they lost all their titles. How can I restore them?

In the latest Yosemite upgrade, my photos were migrated from iPhotos to Photos and lost all their titles. How can I restore them?

There is an Applescript, File Name to Title, provided by user léonie that will put the file name of any selected photos into the Title field for that photo. If there already is a title in that field under the thumbnail it will not replace it with the file name.
tell application "Photos"
activate
set imageSel to (get selection) -- get a list of selected images
set counter to 1
set currentfilename to ""
if imageSel is {} then
error "Please select an image."
else
repeat with im in imageSel
set title to the name of im
if not (exists (title)) then
set currentfilename to the filename of im as text -- retrieve the filename of image "Im"
set newname to currentfilename & "." & counter
set counter to counter + 1 -- increment the counter
set the name of im to newname -- write the newname to the title field
end if
end repeat
end if
return currentfilename -- return the filename of the last image
end tell
Copy the script above, open Applescript Editor and past it into the open window. Compile and save as an Applescript application. Put the app in the Applications folder and drag into the Dock. Now you can select images in Photos and launch the app from the Dock and it will do it's thing. It is a bit slow so can take some time for a large number of images depending on the speed of your Mac.
Just to be on the safe side create an album with a few titled and untitled photos and run it on them.

Various errors, incorrect version of track (from iCloud restore) from an iTunes album

Sorry for being a bit vague describing the problems but they are too complicated to summarize in 1 sentence.
I bought a number of albums from iTunes last December, including LeAnn Rimes "I Need You". I have a car that allows me to play iTunes music copied onto its HD from a USB drive. I copied the iTunes music from my MacBook Pro onto the USB drive and then transferred the music to the HD in my car.
I subsequently discovered that some of the music was skipping when played in my car and the dealer thought the HD in the stereo only supports MP3. It was strange because track 4 in "I Need You" sounded very odd, like it was not the original track from the album but a re-mixed version. I thought it was corrupted due to the MP4 format not being supported. At any rate I decided to convert the iTunes tracks to MP3 on my MacBook Pro using iTunes 11.0.4
I selected all the iTunes albums and instructed iTunes to make MP3 copies.
When iTunes got to the 4th track in "I Need You", it reported an error trying to copy the track and stopped. When I tried to manually copy the track, iTunes said my computer was not authorized to play the track and asked me to log in. When I logged in, iTunes said the computer was already authorized and that I had 1 computer authorized and could authorize 5. When I tried to play the track, I got the same iTunes error about not being authorized again.
When I did a "Get info" on the track I noticed it was purchased on the same occasion as all the other tracks in that album but unlike the other tracks it was missing the name of the person who bought it - me.
I deleted the track and enabled iCloud to download another copy. That worked but the track that was downloaded sounds very strange, not like the original track of the album but like a re-mixed version. like the one that played in my car. Track #4 "You Are" from the "I Need You" LeAnn Rimes album is from 2001, an old album. But the re-downloaded version sounds like a recent re-mix. I know this because I have 2 iPads which also contain copies of this iTunes album.
The newer iPad Mini syncs with my Mac frequently and has weird problems with this same album (phantom duplicate tracks that don't play anything) and when I try to play track 4 it plays track 5 instead. On the other hand my iPad 2 is still running iOS 5 and it plays the original track #4 correctly and has no strange issues with anything. The iPad 2 does not get synced very often because it stays at home whereas the iPad Mini travels with me.
I suspect my iTunes library got corrupted by iCloud. The version of track 4 for "I Need You" is not the track I bought. There was a recent occasion when I noticed iCloud was enabled on my MacBook Pro out of the blue without my permission and all my music were showing duplicates. I turned off iCloud and thought it was some sort of fluke occurrence. But now, I think it may have a connection to my problem today. iCloud may have downloaded a new version of the track to my iTunes library on my MacBook.
What is going on with this iTunes album??? How can I restore my libraries with the correct album tracks? Can someone in iTunes please contact me - I can play both copies of the track and you can judge for yourself. This is really bizarre.
Thanks.

I agree the track was somehow corrupted but it was likely not during the original download as it played just fine for over 4 months. Another USB drive copy of the same track also plays fine on my other vehicle's stereo. My concern is primarily regarding how it got "munged" on my MacBook. Maybe it's getting old. I notice my battery is on its last legs.
Fair enough, although the age of the file really has nothing to do with it. Digital files do not degrage over time like, say, a printed piece of paper.
I suppose what could have happened is the track could have become damaged by copying it around on storage media that might have damaged blocks. But that is just speculation on my part. I don't know how accurate it might be. At any rate a simple re-download from your purchase history, or restoration from your backups should solve the problem.

If the photo was in your Camera Roll album and you have a current iTunes or iCloud backup then you can restore from that backup to recover the photo.

Hi Soo Fedup,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are trying to sync songs off of your iPod shuffle. Once connected to iTunes you should see your iPod listed in iTunes as a device. If you are not seeing the sidebar you can enable it by using the following article.
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Show or hide the Status Bar and Sidebar
In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
Show Status Bar - Choose View > Show Status Bar (this feature will conveniently display the number of items and playback time for a category, for example, music or movies).
Once you have the device selected, navigate to the Music pane and either uncheck the box for Sync Music to remove all of the music on your iPod shuffle or select Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and only check the choices you want. After you uncheck the Sync Music box up top or select the selected content you want, select Apply in the bottom right hand corner. Please use the following article as a reference.

HT4859 My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox. I kept getting a IMAP error. How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox. I kept getting a IMAP error. How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

It may be that the process you used to change the iCloud ID created these issues. What I would suggest you do is the following:
If you have any photo stream photos on your device that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check to confirm that your data is all there.
Assuming your data is on icloud.com, go to Settings>iCloud on your device, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted. This will only delete the account and your synced data from your device but not from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
Go to Settings>iCloud, sign back in with the correct iCloud ID and password and turn your iCloud data syncing preferences back on. This will sync your iCoud data back to your device and recreate your iCloud email account.
Try your Mail again and see if it works properly now.
