Is a separate photo-backup necessary when you use the catalogue-backup

Well, the title says it all. When i back-up the catalogue, i assumed the backup would be mede of al the tags added to photo's. When i check the catalogue-files, i see a whole lot of jpg-files. My actual photo-collection contains jpg-, raw an avi-files.
I have a habit of making a copy of all my photofiles, but now it seems double
Question: Does de backup-function of photoshop elements 11 actually make a backup of tags and photo's?
greetz, looking forward to an answer.

You would have to do this using your operating system or 3rd party backup software.
If you choose to do this, you would also need to create backups of all of your photos. The responsibility is yours to make sure this all happens; whereas if you use the built in command File->Backup Catalog, then the software takes care of all of this for you.
Furthermore, making your own backups means you also have to know exactly how to do the restore, should you ever need to do so. Believe it or not, we see a lot of people here in the forums who think they know exactly how to do the restore, only to find they can't get the restore to work. Again, using the built-in command File->Backup Catalog means that the software takes care of all the details of doing the restore via the command File->Restore Catalog. If you make your own backups, you cannot use File->Restore Catalog.
Unless you really know exactly how to do a restore and make everything work, I would use the built-in commands.

    in iphoto how to get the gold you delete a photo warning message when you check the box not ask

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Can you change the Bitrate when you use the "Compressor" High Quality...?

  • Purchased new 5c but when i used the cloud backup it did not backup all my songs or pictures

    Purchased new iphone 5c but when I used the cloud backup to transfer my data it did not transfer all my pictures or music.  Only items I had purchased and pictures from August.

    Apple IDs do not go out of existence.  All purchases are PERMANENTLY associated with whatever ID was used for the purchase.  Go here to investigate.

  • What controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?

    Hi, I have had a student ask me a question I cannot answer: what controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?
    I have only seen it appear as a black semicircle over each letter, but at a different computer in our training facility, this same tool appears as an aqua-green highlight.
    Is it a preference I never noticed? Thanks for any info.

  • Does the magic mouse not have the feature of viewing all open pages on desktop like you do when you use the side buttons of the wired mouse?

    Does the magic mouse not have the feature of viewing all open pages on the desktop like you do when you use the side buttons of the wired mouse?

    No, you'll have to use Mission control for that.  It's either located on the dock, the F3 key on recent laptops on a swipe on the trackpad.

  • Is there an option to use MBR partitioning when you use the recovery media?

    I need to switch to MBR partitioning.
    I have a satellite C55D-a5240NR. I have my recovery media and I am going to back up my data.
    Using the recovery media I see that you can reformat and partition your drive but I dont see any documentation beyond that. If you go that route is there an option to use MBR?

    No. When you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents, all the bits are laid down as they were. So you get GPT partitioning.

  • Closes applications when you use the select all function in the Hebrew language, ios version 7.0.3

    Hi I upgraded to Ios version 7.0.3, I use the Hebrew language.
    I have a problem when I select all the Hebrew alphabet, no matter where (it's sms, email, Internet, all applications on the device, and the device itself, search, contacts, calendar).
    The device closes the application, and then I open the application and has no caption or a site that was supposed to be before closing as if I started now.
    The problem occurs even when I write in the search for the problem device does re-lighting the device as if you just turned on the device (no open applications for example).
    It only happens in Hebrew only, if there are English and Hebrew together this glitch does not appear.
    I tried other languages English Chinese Russian Indian, they respond well to highlight the text individually without the Hebrew language.
    It happened in the previous version 7.0.0.
    In older versions it never happened and working already more than a year.
    This problem also appears in iPhone 4 and iPad 2 on the same Apple id I have iPhone and same version id of the fault doesn't exist and thought at first it was a sugary but all applications are deleted almost everything and the problem still exists.

    If you have any questions, ideas I would love to hear from you.
    English is not my speech but my second language.
    All I write is translation so if there is anything you don't understand, sorry in advance.
    If there is a mistake in translation, please correct me so I can learn from my mistakes.
    Thank you all.

  • Do you feel a tingling sensation in your fingers when you use the trackpad?

    I know it sounds like a stupid question...but recently i've been finding more and more i'm feeling a tingling sensation around my fingers when i use my trackpad. Just a few moment ago, my hand was resting on my trackpad(not something that happens often) in any event, my entire hand started to feel like it was getting an electric shock of some kind. I pulled it back real fast.
    I'm just wondering has anyone else ever experienced this kind of tingling sensation when using the trackpad?
    Thanks

    This is indeed noticable, at least to discerning individuals, both on the track pad and on the casing.
    I usually call it 'the Roland feeling', as the metal casing of old Roland musical keyboards from this manufacturer had an extremely pronounced 'tingle' to the touch. In the case of Roland, their engineers had not properly understood the concept of grounding. They actually connected the casing via two resistors to both the power outlet phase and ground!
    This made the entire case 'float' electrically at 110 V AC in Europe (half the voltage). This sounds dangerous, but it's not the voltage that kills, it's the current, and a voltage connected through a high-ohm resistor can't drive much current through your body. So, while very noticable, to the point of almost making your fingers feel numb, the Roland feeling was never a threat to the player's life.
    'The PowerBook feeling' is **extremely** subtle in comparison.
    What does it all mean then?
    1. The PowerBook casing has a leakage path to an AC voltage source. This leakage path has very high ohmage, and is absolutely nothing to worry about. Don't be too angry at Apple either, because leakage paths are almost impossible to avoid, and it's only the cool aluminium package that makes you notice it. You wouldn't want to trade it for plastic, right?
    2. Human fingertips are actually extremely sensitive to electric current! Who would have thunk?
    Unplug the power brick, and you'll see that this effect is gone, as the voltage must be AC. A DC voltage of high ohmage will quickly level itself out.

  • I recently upgraded laptops and my new laptop asks me to authorize this one for purchases I made years ago and I don't remember the password.  Can you use the old backup discs to restore them?

    There are quite a few songs, videos, television shows, and movies I purchased years back, well before the cloud with two different user id's that I don't remember the passwords for, and when I try and get to the security questions, it says the information doesn't match.  I'm ****** because I'm sure they will have some convenient excuse for not getting me out of this mess with my new laptop, but as long as my old one works, I can still access the previous library, where EVERYTHING plays.  How can the new laptop not be recognized when I had all of the information transferred from the old laptop?  Now I have to hope my old laptop doesn't crap out for a few years longer!!

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • When you use the Windows Media Sync to down load music from the PC to the Razr?

    What folder is the music stored in? I can see the music on my phone under My Music but I cannot see it on the V CAST Media Manager.

    It really depends on how you got the music on there in the first place.  Usually, I think, it goes into a music folder.  Also, make sure to check both the SD card and internal storage.

  • Do your photos get saved when you do a full backup?

    I need to restore my phone and I backed it up onto my MacBook Pro, but I need to know if it backed up my pictures as well, since I have all my pictures from my Europe trips on my phone. Help please!

    If you don't delete them from your carrier's voicemail server they can be resynced from it.

  • Camera on iPhone4 doesn't work, when you use either the icon on the screen all you get the the shutter. I am unable take pictures. Has anyone had the same problem and are there any solutions?

    The camera on my iPhone 4 isn't working and hasn't for quite sometime. I have updated the phone to IOS 6 and it hasn't made any difference.
    When you use the icon that appears at the bottom of the screen or the camera icon on the main screen all you see is the camera shutter.I have tried to restore the camera and that hasn't made any difference. I have spoken to Apple support and they sent me a support site to check out, but there isn't any specific solution for my problem. Has anyone had a similar problem and is there a solution?

    Try:
    - Reset the iPhone. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPhone: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPhone.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
