How to transfer from old computer (Photo Album) to new computer (Elements)?

For Christmas I'm getting my wife a new version of Adobe and a new computer, as well.  She has 12,000 photos with tags in Adobe Photo Album 1.0 on the old computer.  I'm installing Adobe Elements 8 on the new computer.  How do I transfer the photos with tags?  Thanks for any advice.

I recommend that you first install PSE 8 on the old computer and convert the PSA 1 catalog to PSE 8.  Then once PSE 8 is running correctly, you can use the backup/restore method to move the catalog and photos to the new computer.  Though it is sometimes possible to do it in the other order, or to do the move and conversion in one step, I strongly recommend not doing that -- it will make the troubleshooting much harder.
Though Adobe claims to support conversion of catalog from previous version to PSE 8, many people with PSA and older versions of PSE have experienced problems.  See this FAQ for details on how to deal with common issues that might arise:

See this FAQ for how to use the backup/restore method to move your PSE 8 catalog to the new computer:

As you can probably infer by now, it's very likely you'll run into issues, so expect to spend many, many hours (unfortunately).

  • HT201302 My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos.  I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone.  How do I now download those photos to my new computer?

    My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos.  I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone.  How do I now download those photos to my new computer.  Same thing with my iTunes music library.

    Unfortunately, I did not have the photos stored seperately.  When I set up iTunes on the new computer, I clicked "sync photos" and it said it would sync to the photos in the my pictures folder on the computer.  This is a new computer, so the folder is empty.  I am hesitant to allow the sync, because I do not want to wipe those photos from my iPhone, and never see them again.  This is a terrible spot to be in. 
    I have also lost my iTunes music library for the computer.  I subscribed to itunes Match, thinking it would upload my music from my phone to iCloud.  It only added 57 songs that I had purchased on the store previously.  None of the cd's I added where transferred.

    how to transfer my old camera roll to my new iphone

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    Transfer your iTunes library from the computer to which the device was previously synced.

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • Balance transfer from old recon a/c to new recon a/c

    Hello
    We have changed the vendor''s reconciliation account.....now we have to transfer the balance of open items....from old recon a/c to new one..........
    ....what is the best way to do this.......
    regards

    It says:
    A balance sheet eadjustment distributes
    receivables and payables in customer and vendor reconciliation accounts,
    Account Determination
    For each account, you can specify an adjustment account to post the readjustment to. Otherwise, the system posts the readjustment to the original account.
    To distinguish readjustment postings from other postings, you should create separate adjustment accounts and have the readjustments posted to them.
    Since reconciliation accounts cannot be posted to directly, you have to specify adjustment accounts for them.
    Since readjustments are posted without tax, the accounts posted to cannot be relevant to tax.
    Adjustment accounts are determined when calculating the distribution.
    Can you please check the configuration in OBBW.
    Define Adjustment Accounts for Changed Reconciliation Accoun
    In this activity you define the numbers of the accounts for the automatic transfer postings which are made if the reconciliation accounts are changed. Postings are made to these accounts to sort the open items.
    Sorting open items is necessary to be able to display the receivables and the payables according to the legal requirements for creating balance sheets.
    Activities
    1. Enter the required accounts.
    2. Make sure that the accounts you enter are created.

  • HT201269 How can I transfer my old iTunes library to a new computer?

    I just got a MacBook Pro and I'd like to be able to access the iTunes library from my old computer on it. I've tried Home Sharing but it doesn't allow me to transfer my old library to my new computer, it just allows me to listen to the songs from it. I'd like to be able to sync my iPhone with my current computer without the "Erase and Sync" message popping up. I've authorized my new computer to access my iPhone and I don't understand why I'm not allowed to transfer my old library to my new computer.

    Have you tried the Migration Assistant that came with your new MBP?

  • Hello, I'm trying to transfer my old itunes library to a new computer using home sharing. It's switched on in both computers, but I can't see the old library in the new computer. But I can see tracks from the new computer on the old one. Please help.

    Apologies for poor syntax, my arm's a little sore. Yes, one computer (old) is vista, new is Windows 8. Shouldn't I be able to import the whole library using home sharing? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you in advance

    I am having the same issue.  I recently purchased a new laptop and I have spent the last 3 days using the home share to slowly transfer all 22,000 songs.  However yesterday morning when I turned on both computers to continue the process I am having the following issue:
    both computers are running the same windows OS (8)
    both computers are running the same version of itunes
    both computers are logged in with the same apple ID
    both computers have home sharing turned on
    Now however I can see the NEW computers itunes library in the drop down box on the OLD computer, however I can not see the OLD computers itunes library on the NEW computer.  I can no longer see "HOME SHARES" on the drop down LIBRARY list on the new computer.  I've taken the following steps to correct the error:
    reset the router
    completely shut down BOTH computers and brought them back up
    reopened itunes
    re-logged in on both PC's
    re-activated both PC's with home share
    The articles and help from the apple sites are worthless and it says if you can't see a library just turn home sharing off then back on - I've completed the above steps NUMEROUS times.  After spending 4 days on transferring my music I really do not want to have to start over by using an external hard drive and then importing that way.  I would like some help on discovering why the new laptop is no longer seeing my old library. (When it has been working up to this point) 
    Thanks in advance.

  • Hard drive crashed. how do I transfer from iphone 3gs to itunes on new computer?

    My hard drive crashed.  I installed iTunes on my new computer.  How do I transfer my information on iphone 3gs onto the new iTunes?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone.  Without syncing :  File>Transfer Purchases   Authorize your computer for your itunes account first.
    If you sync to a blank computer, then your contacts and calendars will be erased as well.  Another reason to always maintain a backup.
    Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer.  When you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

  • Can I sync new iPhone5 from old iPhone4 in iTunes on new computer?

    I have an old iPhone4 & a new iPhone5 that I am dying to use but my laptop with iTunes on it died before my new phone arrived & I am a bit technically challenged. I have been given the use of my cousin's old windows laptop & I have created a new user on the laptop and installed iTunes but I cannot see any of my music, aps etc on there so I am not sure if I’ve done it properly.  I can view my account details and that’s it.  So I don’t know if I’ve done it properly.  I have iCloud and have set it up on the new laptop too, I can see my contacts & calendar but I cannot see photos in my Photo Stream album where it said they should be, which makes me wonder if I have set that up properly either.  I really don’t want to lose my latest photos since syncing my phone the last time.  I do not know if I am able to retrieve anything from my old laptop at this stage but I’d really like to start using my new iPhone in the interim of finding out.  Can anyone help me?  If plugged in my old iPhone4 into this new computer would it sync all my stuff on there into the iTunes on this new computer? And then would I be able to plug in my new iPhone5 to this computer & it would sync all my stuff on to the new phone?

    iPhones are not backup devices.
    Use the backup of the old computer to put everything on the new computer.
    Then you can sync the new iPhone and get all the content on it.

  • How do I download my adobe photos onto a new computer?

    How can I download all my adobe revel photos onto a computer to save? Preferably all at once and not one photo at a time.

    If your new computer is a Mac I would recommend installing the Revel Mac application. There you can select multiple images, then select Photos>Export and export the images where ever you would like on your desktop.
    From a browser at adoberevel.com you can only download one image at a time.

  • How to transfer from Old ibook to new ML iMac

    Hello, looking for some help with an installation problem.
         I'm in the process of trying to [help my daughter] transfer relevant files from an old (2004?) iBook running 10.5.8 to a new 21" iMac running Mountain Lion (10.8.2). Using ethernet as iBook has firewire but iMac only has Thunderbolt.
    Unfortunately the iMac was "admired/played with" a few times before trying to transfer the files so the only option is/was Migration Assistant.
    Initially all seemed fine, but just as the processed was almost complete, - the transfer hung and the time to completion increased from seconds to minutes to hours. Ended by manually shut down.
    I believe we have three options:
    1) Erase hard drive, do a re-install using Mountain Lion's built in reinstallation facility (We do not have back-up yet)
          Then use set-up assistant on first boot-up to transfer files/apps etc.  Have not yet added any data/files so no loss if we erase the HD.
    2) Try Migration assistant  again
    3) I assume most (all?) of the old apps will not run on the new iMac, so there is no point in transfering them.
         Instead I wonder about just copying over the important files, ie Address book files, Safari/iTunes/ etc etc
    Any advice suggestions would be appreciated

  • Use migration assistant to transfer from old HD (10.4) to new HD (10.6) to new

    Hello,
    I am helping a friend replace a failing HD on her Macbook (mid 2007, Intel, runnung 10.4 tiger). the hard drive has not failed yet, but we cannot repair permissions and cannot repair the disk using disk utility or disk Warrior. At the genius bar the utility they used showed a couple of bad blocks and lots of error and so we do believe the drive will fail sooner or later.
    I have purchased a new hard drive to put in the Macbook and would like to install 10.6 Snow Leopard on the new drive.
    My question is this, can I put the old hard drive that has not yet failed into an external enclosure (USB 2, not Firewire)
    and then use migration assistant as I am installing the new system to move all her stuff over (her account, files, apps, settings)?
    I have several other computers at my disposal and originally I had planned on copying her home folder to another
    external drive hooked up to my powerbook, then launch the Macbook with ne drive in target mode and just drag the
    home folder to its place after the installation. But she has some games and apps that she might lose if i do this.

    Regards,

    There is no need to and you should not transfer Adobe applications between machines anyways because it doesn't work.  Just install the Creative Cloud applications the same way you did originally on the old machine.  You are allowed to have two working installations, so if you would like a backup available there is no need to remove the applications from the original machine.
