How do I retrieve "my catalog"?

My computer has just been updated with Windows 7 and had a new hard disc installed.  All the data including all my pictures have been re-installed in their original locations but my Organizer has lost "my catalog".  How do I get back?

The catalog is on your old disk. Is it still installed on your computer as a second drive, or is it simply removed ?
Also, which Windows version was installed in the old computer : XP or Vista ?
You have first to access your old drive : for instance installing it in any computer as a second drive, or putting it in an external USB drive casing.
Then you'll have to search for the location of the folder containing the database. The database is by default in an hidden folder, so you'll have to set Windows explorer to show hidden files. Then do a search for 'catalog.pse7db'. Copy the whole folder containing that file somewhere on your new computer.
The problem now is generally that the 'My pictures' default folder is in a different path in Windows 7. That means that all the paths saved in the catolog do not correspond exactly with the ones of the copy in the new computer.
To open the copy of the catalog in your new computer, double click on the catalog.pse7db. If the paths are identical in the new computer, all is well. Otherwise all files will be considered disconnected. One solution would be to move the files in exactly the same folder structure than in the older Windows verson.

  • Have new PC with windows 8. I own photoshop elements 9 and I have lost all my pictures, albums and tagging, how do I retrieve them?

    I own elements 9.  All files were backed up to a external hard drive and then downloaded to a new PC, with windows 8.  I have lost all my pictures, albums and tagging.  How do I retrieve all of this back into Elements 9?

    It appears that you have made a backup via Windows and not via the integrated backup/restore process in the organizer. Since the albums and tagging are stored in catalogs, they are lost unless you also made a backup of the catalogs themselves.
    The correct way to move your catalog(s) and images to a new computer:

    Is your old computer still useable ?

  • How do I retrieve lightroom database?

    Lightroom 3 was shutting down unexpectantly and from an advice at this forum I moved the preferences folder to the desktop (from the library)
    the lightroom opened allright but was completely empty, how do I retrieve the database. I couldn´t save catalogues because it always shut down before I could do anything.
    Please help, am in dire straits here. need photos that were numbered and processed to work with.

    You have to find your most recent catalog. The unexpected shutdown would have prevented LR to write the most recent changes to the catalog but these would be only a few. LR writes changes into the catalog without you having to <save>.
    There are two ways to open your most recent catalog:
    a) if you know where your catalog is on the hard drive, open LR - it will come up empty - and go >File >Open catalog. Then navigate to your catalog and click on it.
    b) If you do not know where your catalog is you have to find it - in Mac Finder or Win Explorer.
    The catalog is the file with the ending <... .lrcat>. See here where you will find the catalog for different OS: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/843/cpsid_84313.html
    When you have found the .lrcat file just double-click it and LR will open with it.
    LR will rebuild the preference file on its own but you might have to set your preferences again in >Edit >Preferences.
    It is generally a good idea to know where LR puts the catalog. Go >Edit >Catalog Settings >General tab and this will show you the location - provided that LR has opened with a catalog.
    Also, it is a good idea to have a backup catalog. Go  >Edit >Catalog Settings >General tab and at the bottom select <Every time LR exits>. Next time you close LR the backup dialog will come up that lets you choose a backup location.

  • Retrieving MDM catalog data from SRM

    Currently we have a requirement to pull MDM catalog data from SRM with supplier product number as input.
    We have a remote function call which has input fields u2018Catalog idu2019 and u2018Catalog itemu2019 to retrieve the catalog details from MDM.
    However we could not able to find the relation ( say database table) between the supplier product number and catalog id/catalog item in SRM.
    Is there any other RFC/APIu2019s to meet this requirement or to find relation between supplier product number and catalog id/catalog item in SRM itself?
    Kindly provide your suggestions and throw light on how to progress on this requirement.
    Thanks.
    Regards
    K Arasu

    Hi,
    The field NEW_ITEM-MANUFACTMAT[n] is used to capture manufacturer part number/supplier part number and is mapped as such automatically in the SRM BO coding.

  • I recently uploaded 10.8, but I have a number of VALUABLE old files which I can no longer read because "power PC applications are no longer supported.  How can I retrieve them?

    I recently uploaded 10.8, but I have a number of VALUABLE old files which I can no longer read because "power PC applications are no longer supported.  How can I retrieve them"?

    Here is a post I assembled for another with a similar problem:
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
    2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
    3. Upgrade to an Intel compatible versions of your software, or find alternatives that will open your data files;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:
                                  [click on image to enlarge]
    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
    NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
    NOTE 2:  Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

  • After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external back-up? Following Apple advice for use of Migration Assistant did not work creating similar issues leading to clean install.

    After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external hard drive?
    Following Apple advice I used Migration Assistant which crashed new system twice which is why I had to clean install Lion in the first place.
    Is there a sure way of doing it?
    I have only a few programs that I will have to install myself and that should not be a problem.
    I just want my data, music and photos back where I can use them.

    Time machine backups. I went to migration assistant a few hours ago and limited my selection to "users", no need for applications, settings and other files.  Stuff started moving over at a fast pace but has now seemed to stall.
    I will let it run overnight as there are lots of songs and photos as well as a few movies.
    If that does not work, then I will go into TM and try restore. I have restored some things in the past such a mail files and it has worked well. 
    The Apple fellow at the store told me to go right into TM, he may have had a point. I'll get it eventually.

  • How do I retrieve my cleared safari history on iphone?

    How do I retrieve my cleared safari history on iphone? I accidentally clicked clear cookies and data as well, so everything is basically gone and there are very important stuff that I NEED to recover. I tried to do the settings>safari>adavanced>website data, but nothing worked, because since I cleared cookies as well, everything's just gone.

    You restore the phone using a backup made before you cleared it. If you don't have a backup from when it was present, then it's gone.

  • I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it.  How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store?  when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again?

    I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it.  How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store?  when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again?  I have authorized my computer but none of them are in my music now.

    You buy one and only one download.
    It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
    Certainly you did not update your ipod without making sure that you had transferred anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and included it in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • How do I retrieve a variable from a stored procedure in Access?

    Given a stored procedure like the one below,

                   pVar2               in float,
                   pVar3               in float,

                   pResults          out varchar2
    How would I retrieve the value in pResults using VBA on Access? Thanks.

    Using this, you can set the value to the session bean
    <c:set property="docID" target="${SessionBean1}" value="${pg_view_doc.hiddenField3.value}"/>
    But before that you have to create a property called docid in the sessionbean1.
    So once the property is set, through getDocID() method u can retrieve the value
    ex: String value=getSessionBean1().getDocID();
    will return the value in the required JSF Page bean

  • After upgrading to iOS 5, I lost my contacts, calendar entries, and Notes on my iPhone 3GS (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

    Yikes! After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I lost my Contacts, calendar entries, and Notes (100+) on my iPhone (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

    This happened to me too but it was really all there.  Go to your calendar, click on calendar in the upper left hand corner, click on show all calendars, click done in the right upper corner.  Everything should show up!!!
    I was super thrilled.  Hope this works for you!!

  • 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.
