How do I retrieve tags after transfer to new computer.

Have a PC. HP Microsoft 7. I undated to Elements 12 then transferred to new computer. The pictures transferred fine (20,000) The tags only partly transferred and the symbols are so small I can't read them. I now have Elements 11 in my new computer. I don't remember why. How do I retrieve my tags. Thanks, Marilyn 509-547 5167

Your personal information is in the profile folder. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile

When copying data from your OLD profile to your NEW profile, copy individual FILES (some require more than 1 FILE). DO NOT copy the entire OLD PROFILE folder; it will not work.

Multiple copies of songs after transfer to new computer

This is really annoying me.
I bought a new laptop and I want to transfer all my music from the old to the new. The new laptop has beatsmusic on it (factory installed).
So first I downloaded iTunes. Immediately after loading ITunes I had access to all my music I purchases through the iTunes store. So far so good.
BUT, 95% of my music is CDs that I burned one at a time into my iTunes library. So that transfer is critical. I have an external hard-drive I use to backup all my music. So I transferred the entire library to my new laptop from the external hard drive.
All the music transferred - but not as iTunes MP4 files. Nope - they all became beatsmusic files. I don't want that. Frustrating that computers have to force people to have what they don't want.
I am also dealing with windows 8 - so accessing music library is no longer easy like it used to be.
Anyway - I tried converting all the beats files back to iTunes music files (like they were originally!) Now I have 2 and 3 copies of every song in my library.
The whole thing really irritates me.
Why can't consumers have what they want? Do I start over now? Delete the entire library off the new computer?
I am not going to delete 20,000 songs manually one at a time so forget that suggestion. And the darned beats music is still the default music player.

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Alternativey see this migrate iTunes library post, you may want to revisit the transfer method. If you get it right you don't import anything or create duplicates in the process.

ITunes and Audible compatibility after transfer to new computer

I've had a serious compatibility problem between iTunes and Audible eversince transferring to a new computer. This after iTunes and Audible worked seamlessly for two+ years on my old computer.
At first iTunes would not accept my Audible username/password, then after reinstalling and updating both iTunes and Audible Manager I received a "you cannot authorize any more computers for this account. You must deauthorize at least one other computer . ." error message. I've deauthorized, then authorized my computer twice in an attempt to correct whatever is causing this (two computers are automatically authorized when I've done this) but I still get the "you cannot authorize . . " error message whenever I try to import my Audible files.
I'm using an external HD (from the old computer)as my music folder location for iTunes, however Audible is downloading to my computer's HD. Can this have something to do what's going on? I've also tried disabling the firewall with no success. Have also made sure Audible and Apple are both "allowed" in Firefox's content. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

I would try copying over the tracks from your XP computer again as the files from the first transfer may be corrupted.

Itunes and Ipod Classic stop before song ends after transfer to new computer

I purchased a new Windows 7 computer and transferred my library from my XP computer.
I restored my library and all seemed well with the world.
I synched my IPod classic 120GB with over 8000 songs.
I was listening to the IPOD on my docking station when I started noticing that songs would just stop before the end of the song.
I thought my 120GB Ipod was dying, so I purchased a new 160GB.
The problem continued.
I then listened to them on the new computer in Itunes and they did not completely stop, they just skipped to the next track at the same place as it froze on my IPOD.
I listened to the same song on my old computer through Itunes and it played correctly.
I have do not have the Itunes Match and the songs that I currently know that have the problem were purchased on Itunes.
Any suggestions as how to resolve the issue?

Unable to open My Catalog after transfer to new computer

I use Elements 7 on computer running Windows XP. Has approximately 5000 photo's in My Catalog - all tagged and with captions.
Am in process of moving to new computer with Windows 7 - 64bit version. Have used original disc to load Elements 7 on new machine and Elements Organiser opens OK but with just a blank My catalog - and all tags are missing.
I used Windows Easy Transfer to move all files and settings to the new machine.
The catalog appears to have been transferred and Elements Help > System Information shows that it is located at undernoted - which it is, according to Windows Explorer.
C:\ProgrammeData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My Catalog
But I have been unable to find any way of getting Elements to connect to this file and open it as 'My Catalog' on the new machine. Would be catastrophic to find that I have to re tag and caption all these photo's. Probably impossible.
Have tried all the options under the File Dropdown menu relating to Catalog.
Have had differing opinions on whether Elements 7 can be used with Windows 7 64 bit - some say is OK, others say not. Though it does open as it did under XP - just does not detect the Catalog.
Any ideas please?

Thanks. Might be making some progress. As I said before I had followed the path suggested by Help > System Information. Had also done amendment to Show Hidden Files, which the database seems to be.
But have now taken your advice and unticked the box relating to "Hide file extensions for known file types".
Using Windows Explorer on the old computer I now find that My Catalog folder includes a file named "catalog.pse7db"
File size is approx 19,500Kb - so this would appear to be the relevant file.
Have also now followed the Help>System information path on the new computer and the My Catalog folder also contains a file "catalog.pse7db". But file size is only 119Kb - so clearly not the version from the old machine.
Not sure if this might be relevant but have just noticed a slight difference in the locations indicated by Photoshop
On old machine this is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My Catalog
On new machine this is C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My catalog
Also just noticed that the bottom part of the dialogue box on new computer indicates "Operating System name = Vista Version 6.1"
Puzzling - as new machine definitely has Windows 7 installed and have never had Vista on either computer.

Printing permission cancelled after transfer to new computer

I had to transfer my library to a different computer shortly after purchasing some books for which I had the right to print them exactly once. I activated ADE, transferred the files and although I had not printed any of the material I cannot do so now.
Is there any way to re-activate the original permission or did I make a mistake when transferring?

For consumable permissions (ie the right to print n times), the initial machine that you fulfill the content on will have the initial count for the permission. If there is no recurring portion (ie print n times per day), then no other computers will be able to use that permission. So yes since the permission appeared to only have an initial count, you will only have been able to print them on your first computer.

Audio and video out of sync after transfer to new computer

My son had 9 minutes of a stop motion video, including audio tracks nearly finished but we needed to move the project from his laptop to our imac desktop. Now when project plays the audio is distorted. When you preview the tracks in the edit window, they sound fine, but when you play the whole project all audio clips stutter. Any ideas how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Depending on the speed of your computer, the project's audio may lag during real time playback. Have you tried exporting it to a DVD? Even if it didn't work well in iMovie it might still burn fine...

All menus greyed out after transfer to new computer via Migration Assistant

Hi!
My collegue just moved all his stuff to a new computer using the Migration Assistant.
All seem to work fine except Apple Remote Desktop 3 which start up, but the main window isn't shown and the menus are all grey.
We have tried to re-install and also tried to toss everything that's related to ARD (Like the ”Remote Desktop” folder in /Library/Application Support/Apple and the ARD prefs. file in ~/Library/Preferences) and re-installed again, but still the same.
Any ideas?
A permission problem somewhere perhaps?

It helped to do this command:
+sudo rm -rf /var/db/RemoteManagement+
Found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2577
This let us type in the serial number again when starting up the ”Remote Desktop.app” and all seems fine.

Aperture won't take serial number after transfer to new computer

I used the Migration Assistant to move from an old computer to a new one. Now Aperture asks for a serial number and it won't take the one I have. It's the orginal number that came with the software.

Pro Apps like Aperture don;' take to being installed that way. You'd be best to re-install it from the media you received it on (I'm assuming you didn't get it from the App Store as you mentioned a serial number).
If you don;' have the original media you can download the trial version and use the serial number you have to authorize it.

Missing Mail after transfer to new computer

Hello,
My parents were using an old iMac running 10.3.9 so I gave them a "newer" old iMac, running 10.4.11. They use multiple users and I transferred everything from their old computer to the newer one. For mail, I transferred the "mail folder in the library and the mail.plist from the preferences folder in the library. My father's email account works fine and looks exactly the same.
However, my mother's account is missing emails received before August. Furthermore, many of the emails display the following message when opened: "The message from SENDER<[email protected]> concerning “SUBJECT” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
I have done some research and this problem typically occurs when the mailbox is full or offline. Yet, the mailbox is not full and it is online. Some of these messages can be read on the server's website (comcast.net), but the server only keeps emails for 2 weeks, so any email received before that period is not there.
What did I do wrong? I followed the same procedure for both my father and my mother so I am confused. Unfortunately, my mother's account was already deleted from the old iMac (my father's still exists). Is there any way to try and get it back?
Thanks!

Slight possibilty, You might try Data Rescue II...

It would be best to get the music onto the new computer as that would make syncing up with the computer much easier.

If you synch your phone to your computer via itunes,it performs a backup prior to synching. You can check by luanching itunes select preferences>devices,all backups should be shown there. If in fact there is a backup of your phone listed then do a restore of that back up.
