Importing Complete Files as on Desktop

I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7 and lost my old Photoshop. It was simple and effective and the default program!
I purchased and have installed Elements 12, but that didn't automatically acquire the pictures in my file folders.
When I open them now it appears that the default program is windows photo viewer.
If the requirement is to import all my photos, I would like to do it so that my folders on the desktop look as before but with Elements as the editing program.
a) Can I import complete files to Photoshop?
b) Can I replace the old files with the Photoshop versions?
c) Can I make Photoshop the default program for new downloads - pictures from e-mail, camera, etc.?

A. Please review this tech note: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
B. The photofiles are not stored in PSE. They are on disk wherever you put them
C. I don't understand what you mean by "complete files". Please explain..
D. If you want to have photofiles open in PSE rather than in Windows Viewer, you need to establish a file association. To do that, right click on a file, and go to Open with>choose default program>PSE and check to always open this type of file with the program
E. The file format that you download is determined by the sender. In e-mail it is JPEG as a rule, but you can open a JPEG file in PSE, enhance it, and save it as a PSD file if you wish.

  • Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) to iTunes??

    Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) into Itunes?  Seemed to work perfectly well before the latest upgrade.  Feeling quite annoyed, especially when all the forums seem to give the same advice, which no longer seems to work!!  Please can someone help!  Uploading a file should not be this difficult!!!

    Make sure you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed.  It was an option when installing Lion.  Or you can get it here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.  Install it, reboot and try again.

  • Cannot import Illustrator files - crash to desktop

    Hello:
    I've been experimenting with the Catalyst beta at work, but it seems I cannot import Illustrator files (yet phototshop files are fine). What happens is the following:
    1) Click "From Adobe Illustrator AI File..." link on the start screen.
    2) Choose an AI file in the file selector (I used the one found at http://www.insideria.com/2009/06/flash-catalyst-beta-1-top-bran.html)
    3) Catalyst begins the process and shows a progress bar, but then immediately crashes to desktop without warning.
    I've tried several other AI files, but the results are the same. Is anyone else having this problem?
    System specs (if it matters) are:
    Windows XP SP2
    Professional x64 Edition
    Intel core 2 Duo
    2.33GHz, 3.93 GB of RAM

    Ok, this is going to sound strange, but here's what happened:
    1) I went to the Catalyst directory to retrieve the log file you mentioned. It seems I had generated about nineteen or so of these logs. I've gone ahead and attached them to this post.
    2) I deleted all of these logs out of my Catalyst directory.
    3) I went back and performed the above steps, and it worked! I even tried another AI file, and it imported successfully.
    The only thing that has changed since yesterday is the fact that I deleted these logs. I'm baffled...

  • Re: How to Import .CSV file using Mac Desktop Manager 1.0.4?

    I am at a total loss.  I have exported my existing address book of 3100 contacts and it can be in any format -  csv or whatever.
     It is from an app called NowContcat and up to date.  You would not know it.
    Anyway all I want to do is import to my BB Bold 9000 running the latest upgrades.
    Can anyone help? - I have tried to read all of the posts but there does not seem to be anything i the manual or otherwise.
    SDK

    Hey kempyau,
    To clarify your issue, are you looking to take the csv file of 3100 contacts and synchronize it with your BlackBerry?
    You can import the contacts in Mac Address Book and then use BlackBerry Desktop Software to synchronize the contacts.

  • Importing song files between computers

    Hi. I've been trying to help my wife import song files from her desktop PC iTunes library to her laptop PC iTunes library, without much success (I'm a Mac guy). Her iTunes libraries can "see" each other, but when you try to access them, a message appears along the lines of "please make sure your firewall software enables port 3689", or words to that effect. In other words, I should be able to at least play songs on one computer from another, but I can't even do that at this point, much less import them, which is what I'm really trying to do.
    Sorry for the rambling....I'm just trying to include details for you all.
    Thanks!

    It sounds like you just need to disable the firewall, if not, the whole virus program itself to use iTunes...it does that sometimes (I don't blame you for being a Mac guy...I envy you).
    If this doesn't work, repost and I'll see what else I can do

  • How do I import a file that is on the desktop to iMovie?

    How do I import a file that is on the desktop to iMovie?
    I had some 8 mm film put onto DVD by yesdvd and now want to import the 3 hours of video into iMovie to edit and create a short story.
    I have created a dmg file on my desktop from the DVD but am at a loss as to what's next.  There are a bunch of files on the dmg file, including one that says video, which has a bunch of files in it that are video.  I assume I need to convert them to a format which iMovie likes.  Which one should I use, and which program should I get to do it?
    Once I have done that, where should I put the converted files and how do I work with them using iMovie?

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb

    Hi,
    I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb.
    I can see the files in the home/sites folder but cant seem to be able to replace them with the site that is already in iweb?
    I have just upgraded to lion on the macbook pro and was using 10.4.x on the desktop.
    Is there any way to replace the files and work on the web site on the MBP?
    And I dont see the library/application support/iweb folder anywhere.
    Much appreciate the feedback.
    Thanks

    As I said earlier, iWeb does not open/import webpages.
    And yes, you need the domain file. The movie demonstrates how to move them to and from the default location.
    And the page explains how to open the hidden library folder in Lion. Which is also discussed in the Lion forum and extensively in this one.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Can't import mp3 file from desktop.

    I can't import a mp3 file from my desktop.  When I tried to import the file, nothing happened no matter how I tried to import it.  Itunes is up-to-date and the diagnosis can't detect anything wrong.  I tried using Stream on the website where I found the file, but nothing happened. Please help!

    "Nothing happened" is iTunes's way of saying the file is not compatible.
    Did you try playing the file in another player, such as Windows Media Player or Winamp, to make sure it is a valid MP3?
    If it is valid, but iTunes will not accept it, it may have minor corruption.  In that case, treat it with a 3rd party cleanup app such as MP3Val.  That is usually sufficient to make iTunes happy.

  • Displaying complete file names on the desktop

    I think there was a way to get the finder to display the complete file names on the desktop. Some terminal command. Can anybody help?

    I have files on the Desktop that don't have that issue. But when I add characters to them I eventually reach the breaking point -- 37 characters is fine; 38 characters causes the file name to truncate. I suppose there may be a way to set a secret pref to show a larger number of characters using Terminal.
    Anyone know how many characters the OS file system is limited to -- ignoring display issues, I mean?

    Hello:
    I am very much a novice with Final Cut.  I am trying to import some video files from  my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error  1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".  The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1).  Can someone help?  Thanks, Paul

    You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
    Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

  • HT4889 I just complete a migration from my Mac Book Pro to my new Mac Book Pro but none of the files on my desktop appear anywhere. Suggestions please.

    I have just completed a lengthy migration of all  my files from an old Mac Book Pro to my new Mac Book Pro and I find that none of my files on my desktop have been transferred. So, I do not have the confidence that all my files have been transferred. What did I do wrong and what can I do to fix this matter. Sugggestions welcome. Thanks

    Open the Users folder, drag the migrated home folder to the desktop, provide your administrator password, and retrieve the files from there. If desired, you can then use the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences to delete the migrated account. This can be done in reverse if you only want the migrated account.
