I have PE11and LR5 and want to use/create one catalog or source file.

When I use the LR5 function "upgrade PE catalogue" for use in LR5 it works very well (first time! great new function) - however - it does not recognize the 6000 photos the still are in the subfolders from "my pictures" like c:/my pictures/adobe/digital camera/date these files where created by earlier PE versions.
So the question(s) are:
1. How to move all the photos in sub folders from "my pictures" - without having to do that one by one - so the LR5 function "upgrade PE catalogue" will recognise all the photos
2. Is there another way to build one source file "my pictures" to use both in PE11 and LR5 without loosing metadata - qualifications and tags. I have a large collection of photos (>15.000) as I work on (semi) professional base since a number of years.
thanks to all the wizards....

No the left behind photos in the subfolders were not imported in Lightroom
tx for your interest
I don't think you answered either of my questions, and thus I am not able to help further.
So, to ask again, hoping for a direct answer this time:
1. Are these "left behind" files in formats recognized by Lightroom? What are the formats of these photo files?
2. Are you saying that (other than for these 6000 files that were not converted), the metadata did not show up in Lightroom?

    I have 2 accounts and want to delete/remove one.  How do I do this?

    Look at Store > Purchased > Apps for each of the accounts in turn.
    Media isn't really a problem, but as you've no doubt discovered updating apps from multiple accounts is unnecessarily complicated.

    Hello I got an Iphone 4 today. The guy set it up for me in the shop and i couldnt remember my apple password so i set up phone using my work email. However I have given him the incorrect one and now at home cannot access the apps or itunes as I cannot verify my apple id. Can i now change it on my phone to the one i use at home? I have worked out how to change it on the computer but dont know were to change it on my phone is it possible? Help.... sal

  • I have just bought a new laptop and want to use this one for my i pod. When i tried to do this it say my i pod is already synced to another computer. How do i 'un-synch' the old one. It does offer to synch the i pod to the new laptop but only for purchas,

    The i pod will synch purchased songs to the new library but that would mean losing most of my songs. I tried home share but that only showed the purchased songs too.
    I would lie to un-synch the old laptop, de-authorise it and remove i tunes altogether as i want to give it away.
    How do i un-synch a library to a particular pc and re synch it to the new one?

    That's not how it works. Authorising is for music purchased from iTunes, not for music you've imported from CDsor elsewhere. Music purchased form other suppliers would also not be subject to this authorising procedure.
    Do you still have the old computer? If so, you need to copy the iTunes Library from that to the new computer. For example, in Windows XP, I would copy the My Music folder (which contains the iTunes Library, my Amazon MP3 purchases and album artwork) and put that onto an external drive. Then move the drive to the new computer and copy the copied folder onto the new machine thereby replacing the new machine's My Music folder. Then tell iTunes to look at the imported Library.
    Obviously, you need to take into account that you have Windows 7 (where I assume the folder names may be different), any other places on you old machine where songs are located and so on.

  • I have multiple iphones and want to use find my iphone how do I track more than 1 phone

    How do I set up multiple iPhones on 1 account for "find my iPhone"?

    Find My iPhone is tied to the iCloud account that each device is using.  You can track all your phones without sharing the same iCloud account by going to icloud.com, signing into the account that the phone you want to track is using, and clicking Find My iPhone.  This can also be done from your phone by using the Find My iPhone app (available in the App store).
    Of course, you could track them all using a single ID if you were willing to share the iCloud account across all the phones.  However, there are significant disadvantages to doing this.  They would all share the same 5GB of free iCloud storage, the same iCloud email account, the same photo stream, and all the synced data (contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) would be merged across all of the phones.  If they belong to different people, you would end up with each other's data on your phones.

  • I have Bridge CC and want to use dual monitors

    I have no idea even if this is possible. I like Nikon ViewNX2 because it gives me a small view panel in my screen and at the same time a full screen view on my second monitor. Is this possible with Adobe Bridge CC on MAC Yosemite?
    Thank you
    Brian

    …you can't just tear off panels in Bridge and have them float on their own.
    No, but you can certainly move them around inside the one Bridge window like I showed in my screen shot, so that the Preview panel occupies the whole of your first monitor.
    Conrad Chavez wrote:
    …They have to have a window for you to drop them into, so you must have at least two Bridge windows open on different displays before you can start dragging panels to another display.
    I absolutely disagree, Conrad.  What you do is stretch the entire Bridge window to span both monitors, then move the Preview panel from the right to the left monitor, then move all other panels to the right monitor (except the Preview panel which will remain occupying the entire left monitor).
    I've done this routinely from day one, in all versions of Bridge.  Study my screenshots carefully at 100%.  I didn't at any time open more than one Bridge window, just the one.
    That is my normal working space, saved as such.

  • HT204053 i had an iphone that i cancelled and now have an ipad, and want to use the old address? Is this out of the question?

    My husband has a new ipad and prev had an iphone, how do we use the old apple id

    The apple ID can refer to either the iTunes store or iCloud accounts. I'll assume you mean iCloud. Go to Settings>iCloud. Scroll to bottom of page and enter your ID and password for iCloud.

    I just purchased a license for LR 5 (received via reseller, DVD in Box) and wanted to use the serial on the downloaded LR5 version through Creative Cloud.
    System sais "The serial number you entered is invalid. Please try again. If problem persists contact Customer support".
    I have tried several times, without success. Internet connection is working.
    Thanks for your help.

    If you have a DVD version then you have to use the serial number that is associated with the DVD version.  A Cloud subscription number has no relationship to a DVD serial number.

  • I lived in the US for a few years, spent a fortune on iTunes [my then local Apple ID account].  Now I live in South Africa and want to use Match.  I have a local credit card but how do I use my new / 2nd Apple ID and gain access to all my US music??

    You have to be in a country to use its store - you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account to be able to use the US store (that applies to buying and redownloading).
    You can use iTunes Match in South Africa, do you not have a backup copy of all of your US iTunes purchases so that you can subscribe to it and upload those that aren't in the South African store to it ?

  • I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged when I use my apple id. What should I have done to share the apps?

    I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged for the first app I downloaded when I use the same apple id. What should I have done to share the apps and should I have been charged? 2 months ago when I got a new iphone, i was told in order to get all my apps back as I hadn't backed up my files, if I used the same apple id I would 'purchase' the app, but then would not be charged as apple would recognise that I have already purchased the app. That worked, but when I did the same thing on my ipad 2 using the same apple Id, I was charged... what should I have done and is this right as I thought the whole point of having multiple apple devices was I could share apps between devices. please help! thanks.

    Using the same Apple id and Password you should be able to download purchased apps without being charged again.
    I download to an iPad/iPad2/iPhone3 & iPhone4 with no problem.

  • I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, but my husband has his own itunes acct, how can he use the main itunes library and get out music on his phone also

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks
