How to move all pictures, albums & tags from 1 computer to another.

Bought a new computer and don't want to lose all the work I did cataloging etc in Elements.  Need to copy all pictures (17,000) over as well as all the tags & albums etc in Element to the new computer.  Also, I am going from Elements 5 (Vista) on my old Computer to Elements 8 (Win 7) on my new PC.  What are the steps needed to do this? 
Should I first copy all the pictures over to the new computer in a folder.
Then backup Elements 5 on the old computer.
Then copy the elements 5 backup file to the new computer and restore that file into Elements 8?

You need to use back-up and restore.

  • How do I move my pictures and tags from PE 3.0 to PE 12 on a new Mac?

    I have Photoshop Elements 3.0 running on a Windows XP PC computer. I am purchasing a Mac and want to transfer all my pictures with tags to my new Mac. First: Is this possible? Second: What software will I need? Third: How do I do it?

    pse 3 is so old i'm not sure there is a migration path, but this shows how to migrate from pse 6+ to pse 12 so you may be able to use the same steps in pse 3, Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later

  • How to move all or partial data from Mac to an external hard disk?

    Hei,
    I need to learn how to move the movies/projects/events from mac hard drive to another external hard drive.
    So basically, I have always imported all events from my video camera (the original clips) to iMovie located in my MacBook Pro hard drive. But after videoing for one year, the hard disc is starting to get full, and I cannot continue using only the laptop's hard drive.
    So I would like to move part OR all of my iMovie related stuff to another external disk drive (connected with USB wire). How do I do that? Is it possible to have some events located in Mac's own hard drive, and some clips/projects in the external hard disk? How to arrange all this?
    I know that "projects" are linked to the original event clips, so if I would be able to export some part of my iMovie data to the external hard drive, I should export both, for example, everything from the same year (the events) which is linked to the projects that are using those data.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    ok First with IM9, you can easily move stuff around. Here are some lessons learned from my experience managing projects across 6 different drives.
    1. All Drives must be formatted macos extended journaled
    2. The large terabyte drives are great for long term storage of events
    3. When you are working on a project, if possible, try to move the clips the current clips you will need to your internal hard drive. This is only necessary if you care about any time machine back ups.
    4. I have also worked on project straight from the external drives. I also use portable drives such as WD passports. These are small 500 gig drives that can travel with you. I have three of those. LOVE THEM.
    5. One way to move projects and clips and keep things organized is to move the project using command drag. It will ask, do you want to move just the project or project and clips. Then voila all clips and project are then moved to that drive!
    6. REMEMBER...MOVE WITHIN IMOVIE using COMMAND Drag. NEVER EVER USE THE FINDER. This is for both projects and events. Using the Command Key will ensure the projects are moved and not just copied!
    7. Last but not least, if you have changed the dates of events using change date function in imovie....For some reason, there is a bug. It inconsistently will change the date. Don't know why and have reported the issue, but it is still not fixed!
    But its still a great little app!

  • I am moving all my iphoto pictures to seperate folders outside of iphoto.  I have found iphoto slighlty cumbersome.  After I move all pictures from iphoto to a separate file how can I delete all the iphoto photos without deleting the ones in the file?

    I am moving all of my iphoto pictures into seperate folders becuase iphoto is great, but a bit cumbersome when I need to transfer all the pictures to a external drive.
    1) After I move all pictures, how can I delete the iphoto pictures without destroying the ones I have in files
    2) how can I ensure that I have sucessfully captures all the iphoto files so when I delelte from iphoto I have not forgotten any
    3) is there a way to determine what duplicate pictures I have?
    Thanks!

    If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
    You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
    You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
    I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
    Good luck,

  • How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server with a GP

    Hello,
    I was curious if someone know how to move all the files of a user "local" profile on a Terminal Server to that of a centralized server where the "local" profile of like the user desktop, favorites, setting, etc are stored in the event
    the local profile on the TS become corrupt it can pull from this server...
    The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced
    across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files
    to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and have all of the files they are used to having.... 
    So I was curious and I've heard from some this is possible in a GP, but I'd like to move the contents of all 6 TS for
    each user or if I have to d this on  per user basis I will, just looking for a way to move the files....

    Hi Trevor,
    To move all users’ desktop to a server, we can use Folder Redirection to do this. The path for Folder Redirection is:
    [Group Policy Object Name]\User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection
    In this situation, we can choose to redirect desktop to the root of a network file share or a folder on a network share.
    Regarding how to configure this, the following article can be referred to for more information.

  • How to move all the standard and adhoc reports from cube to multi provider

    How to move all the standard and adhoc reports from the basic cube to multi provider?
    i created this multiprovider to do the maintenence on the basic cube. for example the infocube physical partition, line item dimension and compression.
    what we decided to do is move all the Standard and ad-hoc reports from the basic cube to the multiprovider. How to do it? and make a copy of the basic cube and do the maintenence on the cube. please help.
    Thanks in advance sdn experts!

    Hi Les,
    This sounds good and one thing we try to always keep in mind when undertaking such activities is to always minimise the impact to the user and make the process as transparent to them as possible. So lets say you have your multiprovider and copied queries up in Prod, these queries will still pick up the data from the base cube.
    Now you need to make a copy of the base cube for some changes to the cube model, I would suggest that you copy the cube and make your changes on the copied cube itself. Then 9depending on the changes done) you can load data from Original Cube to New Cube. When this is being done, make sure that you change your queries to add a restriction on 0INFORPOV by Original Cube.
    After the load to the new cube is complete you can run reports restricted to each cube to verify the numbers. Then change the 0INFOPROV restriction in the queries to point to the New Cube and disengage the old cube from the multiprovider.
    Hope this helps...

  • How do you transfer photo albums to the computer?  When I hook to USB, it only shows photos from the camera icon, not the photos icon.  I am trying to save pictures for the in-laws from their ipad.

    How do you transfer photo albums to the computer?  When I hook to USB, it only shows photos from the camera icon, not the photos icon.  I am trying to save pictures for the in-laws from their ipad.

    I have no clue that you mean by it only shows photos from the camera icon. It has to show the photos in the camera roll of the photos app since those are the only photos that you can import via the USB cable.
    There are other ways of transferring photos to a computer, but they involve using third party apps. There are WiFi transfer apps that will do this. DropBox will also let you upload photos to a public folder and then download them to a computer.

  • How to move all files but X to Y

    It doesn't really matter if it's in the terminal or if it's a applescript but I need to know how to:
    Move all files in a dictionary but a few named.

    Could you pleas explain more?
    If you do not understand the shell while loop, it is possible that using shell commands is a bit more dangerous than you might want to try.
    The explanation:
    ls -a | grep -v "X" | while read file
    do
        mv "$file" "Y/"
    done
    ls -a will list all the files in the current working directory (including the invisible files that start with a leading period.  Thinking about this, maybe you do not want to include -a.  You could cd /path/to/the/desired/directory as a way to set your current working directory as the directory you wish to move things from
    cd "/path/of/the/from/directory"
    ls | grep -v "X" | while read file
    do
        mv "$file" "Y/"
    done
    The ls command's output is piped (the vertical bar | ) into the grep command (general regular expression parser).  The -v option tells grep to throw away any lines (filenames) that match the regular expression "X".  So if the regular expression X matches all the files you do not want to move, the filenames send to the next pipe will be the files you wish to move.
    The while loop will read the filenames grep has selected and invoke the mv (move) command for each file selected by grep and move them to the destination directory Y
    The bigest risk is that you will execute this in the wrong directory and move the files that you need somewhere else.  OR WORSE, if "Y" is NOT a directory, and you DO NOT put a trailing / the mv could move easy file to the destination file, deleting the previous file for each file moved, so effectively deleting every file in the directory except the last one.
    This is why I said if you do not understand what is going on with the shell commands, you could do damage to your system.
    ls could have the /path/of/the/from/directory instead of using the cd command.  The grep command could be replaced with egrep that allows using alternate matching strings:
    ls /path/of/the/from/directory | egrep -v "abc.txt|def.jpg|xyz.mp3|etc..." | while read file
    do
        mv "$file" "/path/to/the/destination/directory/"  # notice the trailing slash for safety
    done
    Good luck.  I hope you do not destroy your system

    Dear ram_orcl,
    Please follow the procedures here;

    8.3.4 Renaming a Datafile in the Primary Database
    When you rename one or more datafiles in the primary database, the change is not propagated to the standby database. Therefore, if you want to rename the same datafiles on the standby database, you must manually make the equivalent modifications on the standby database because the modifications are not performed automatically, even if the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO.
    The following steps describe how to rename a datafile in the primary database and manually propagate the changes to the standby database.
       1.
          To rename the datafile in the primary database, take the tablespace offline:
          SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 OFFLINE;
       2.
          Exit from the SQL prompt and issue an operating system command, such as the following UNIX mv command, to rename the datafile on the primary system:
          % mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf
          /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
       3.
          Rename the datafile in the primary database and bring the tablespace back online:
          SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 RENAME DATAFILE      2> '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
            3>  TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
          SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 ONLINE;
       4.
          Connect to the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to verify all of the archived redo log files are applied, and then stop Redo Apply:
          SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
          SEQUENCE# APP
          8 YES
          9 YES
          10 YES
          11 YES
          4 rows selected.
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
       5.
          Shut down the standby database:
          SQL> SHUTDOWN;
       6.
          Rename the datafile at the standby site using an operating system command, such as the UNIX mv command:
          % mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
       7.
          Start and mount the standby database:
          SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
       8.
          Rename the datafile in the standby control file. Note that the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter must be set to MANUAL.
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
            2> TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
       9.
          On the standby database, restart Redo Apply:
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
            2> DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
    If you do not rename the corresponding datafile at the standby system, and then try to refresh the standby database control file, the standby database will attempt to use the renamed datafile, but it will not find it. Consequently, you will see error messages similar to the following in the alert log:
    ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
    ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock datafile 4 - see DBWR trace file
    ORA-01110: datafile 4: '/Disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf'Hope That Helps.

  • How do I remove the acronym tags from menu items in Business Catalyst?

    Hello, can anybody answer this for me please? Not having any success googling or foruming it so far.
    How do I remove the acronym tags from menu items in Business Catalyst? 
    Thanks in advance
    Grant

    These are titles and in the dynamic menu will be the item description per item.
    These are actually important though and you do not really want to remove them but make them better and reword them other then the same as the link test. These are good for the user experience as well as SEO. A bot knowing a description of a link and where it is going coupled with the URL's and the title of an anchor are all important aspects of your sites SEO.

  • Make Picasa Web Albums tags from iPhoto keywords

    Anyone know why the "Make Picasa Web Albums tags from iPhoto keywords" option does not seem to work? I expected to see the keywords I added to my photo in iPhoto also in Picasa on the web after they have been uploaded.
    Downloaded and installed "Picasa Web Albums Uploader" version 1.3.1.680 from Google. Then from within iPhoto did a File > Export. The above option is shown on the "Picasa Web Albums" tab. I am using iPhoto 09.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    For help with the Picasa Web Albums Uploader, best to seek advice from the makers, after all, no one knows it better than they do.

  • How to move all thumbnail clips into project library for editing?

    Hi there ...
    I haven't used imovie 08 for quite a while ... and I've forgotten how to do a major step .. which is leading to a lot of frustration. I need to drag all my thumbnails into the project library and have them available for editing. ANy way I try it now .... it seems to create one big clip in the project library .. so when I want to add a title or something ... when I drag it over to the clip ... it selects to add to the whole movie. Somehow I need to retain the individual thumbnails or clips ... so when I try to add effects it is just added to one clip ... not all of them ...
    I had this problem before and I can't remember how I moved all the separate clips from the event library to the project library and had them retain their individual clip format available for edit...
    CAn anyone help me .... thanks ....

    Hi,
    This is a shot in the dark but: if it is anything like 09 there is a little slider in the bottom right hand corner of the project window which, if it is all the way to the right will only give you the whole movie.
    Pull it to the left to give you different thumbnail settings.
    Hope this works.

  • How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?

    How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?
    I use Gmail for my emails.

    By sharing playlists you mean sending the list of song titles along with the songs themselves you can't.  That would violate Apple's contracts with the studios regarding sharing music, videos, books, etc.  Which is strictly forbidden. With the single exception that I am aware of which is Home Sharing.
    If you just want to share the list of song titles you could take a screen shot and email that.  Hold down the home button and press and release the power button.  The image is then stored in your camera roll.
