How do I transfer pix in Elements 7 from old computer to Elements 9 in new computer?

Old PC crashed but I can operate in safe mode and get to files. Elements 7 won't open, though. New laptop has Elements 9 preinstalled.  How do I transfer photos to new laptop so Elements 9 recognizes them?  Do I just copy photo files from old computer and paste them into same folder in new computer and then open Elements 9 and import them all or is something else required?  Will I need to set up new albums or can I get old albums to transfer somehow. 

Being able to retrieve media files is a good thing, but what would be still better is to find the catalog itself where the database and accessory catalog files are stored.
If you can do a search for a 'catalog.pse7db' file (probably hidden in explorer, you could be able to retrieve everything.
The process would be to copy the media files in the exact same folders as the original, and to copy the whole folder containing the catalog somewhere on the new computer. From PSE9 you could open the organizer and use the catalog manager to convert the old catalog : you'll have to navigate to the folder where you have copied the catalog.
Tell us if you need more details.
Edit:
Another way would be to install the old drive in an external USB housing : if the procedure stated above is not adequate, that could be worth a try.

    - Does the iPod work?
    - If you have a PC, it just has to appear in My Computer to get pohtos saved to the iPod. Those are in iPod's Saved Photos) album into a computer

    - If the photos were synced to the computer you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or Phone view to get to to a computer.

  • How do I transfer my music library from my ipod Clasic to a new computer

    I  have an ipod classic and I would like to transfer all my library store in my ipod to my new Pc.  I read the instructions,but my itunes are different from the mac itunes I have the latest 10.63 and I'm not understanding what to do. My entire library is on the ipod and I hate to loose it.
    Can you please help me.
    Thank you Carmen Arocena

    1. In Windows Explorer, go to Tools > Folder Options > View. In the Advanced Settings list, under Hidden files and folders, check the radio button for “Show hidden files and folders”. Then click OK. You’ll get a Windows security warning but it’s safe enough to disregard it as we will only be disabling this function for a short while.
    2. Plug in your iPod. In Windows Explorer, a folder will now appear with the name of your iPod.
    Double-click on that. Go to the sub-folders “iPod_Control” and then “music”. You’ll find your music there randomly scattered across multiple folders and with scrambled file names. But don’t worry, the ID3 tags are still fully intact and we are now going to “unscramble” the files.
    3. But first copy all the music from those iPod folders into a new folder on your hard-drive. Move all the songs into one single folder and discard all the folders that your iPod made. By the end, you should have one folder in your hard-drive with all the scrambled files together.
    4. Open up iTunes and do the following : Go to Edit > Preferences. Under the Advanced tab, under the General “sub-tab”, select the local folder where you have copied the music from your iPod (by clicking Change…).
    Check the box “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” and click OK. Also make sure you have wiped all previous music from iTunes so your playlists are blank.
    5. In iTunes, click “File” then “add folder to library”. Select the folder where all your copied music is. iTunes will now re-import all your music back into the playlists. But more importantly, because you have previously clicked “Keep iTunes Music Folder organised”, iTunes will now start renaming and organising your songs into their correct names, albums and folders. This may take a while depending on how many songs you have in your iTunes library.

  • How do I transfer or sync music from a Ipod Nano to a new computer?

    I have a new computer and have installed ITunes on it.  An existing Ipod Nano has my music files.  How do I sync or transfer the music from the Nano, so I can use those files on my Iphone?

    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 Nano. And here is a guide about how to sync music from iPod nano back to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from my iPhone 3GS to my new computer (old computer died)

    I have an iPhone 3GS 32GB with 20GB of music on it from a previous computer's iTunes library.  I bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio with Windows 7) and downloaded iTunes (v10.5.3.3 and latest iOS on the iPhone).  iTunes lets me transfer purchases back to the laptop but not non-purchased material (i.e. stuff I imported from CDs I own).  Is there any way of transferring ALL the material back to the new laptop without re-copying every CD again?
    I tried to follow the manual management option, but Windows Explorer only recognises my iPhone as Internal Storage for the camera files.
    I spent hours today reading forums/communities to help me overcome the problem and to avoid asking a repeat question but nothing seems to have worked.  I can't believe I'm the only one with this problem.
    Thanks

    " iTunes lets me transfer purchases back to the laptop but not non-purchased material (i.e. stuff I imported from CDs I own)."
    That is correct.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.  the iphone is not a backup device and does not function as a storage drive.
    it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.n  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • HT1296 How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro

    How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro
    I am facing problem while I connect to my iPad mini with MacBook Pro , it only sync photo from its taken by and from it camera roll only. It doesn't sync all the images... Like my all albums. All photos in library....

    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    You should also be able to copy albums that you've created directly on the iPad via apps such as Simple Transfer (though I haven't tried it)

    How can I transfer text and format from a Word Doc to a new Pages Doc?

    Select, and Copy in the Word doc and Paste in the Pages doc. It may not be perfect. Importing (Opening) the Word doc is probably better than using Copy/Paste for large amounts of content.

    How can I transfer the music in my old Ipod classic to a new Ipod (not only the Itunes purchases)?

    You'll need to copy the music from the old iPod back to iTunes first before you can transfer it to your new iPod. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
