Loss of Album & other tags after conversion of catalog from PSE6

I just installed PSE 8 while retaining PSE 6 as permitted by installation instructions. Converted catalog from PSE 6 which had JPGs, TIFs & RAW files in it. Everything looked ok for a minute. I did some editing of Preferences, none of which overtly would affect the album & other tages, but when I returned to the catalog, the images were there without any of the album tags or other tags. The only Album remaining in the list was the "last six months." Can someone please explain this and more importantly recommend a solution? Many Thanks.

There is one known issue where the tags and albums in the Organize pane are missing, while the thumbnails continue to show the tag icons under them. If you're sure that the thumbnails don't have the tag icons under them, then my only suggestion is to convert the PSE 6 catalog again using File > Catalog > Convert.

Tags created in album are missing after conversion

I had created an extensive catalog with numerous custom tags in Album 2.0. When I convert my catalog in Elements 7.0 none of my custom tags show up. Is there a way to retrieve these, or do I have to start over (ouch...)
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Kevin Marvel

John/Karin,
When I had first tried to get my Album 2.0 catalog into 7.0 I used the "get photos" menu on a backup of my Album 2.0 catalog. This resulted in the photos coming in, but none of the custom tagging. Since then I have successfully used "restore catalog from CD, DVD or Hard Drive" menu option and after it had restored the catalog I was prompted to convert it to 7.0, which I did. All my tagging, notes, captions came over and all is well! I have only ever had Album starter, Album 2.0 and Elements 7.0.
Good Luck!
Kevin

Accessing an IFRAME tag after page being called from Servlet

Hi there, can anyone help me please.
I have two JSP pages, JSP1a and JSP2. When I call JSP1a from my browser, it runs some alert messages and then calls JSP2, which does a check on my database and then returns control to JSP1a and reloads the page. This all works fine.
I am now trying to integrate these two pages into my main app, but I get a problem. I am now calling JSP1a, from a controlling Java Servlet (my app is based around a Model 2 architecture) which fires fine, but the reference to the line
"window.frames.hidFrame.location.href=jsp2.jsp"
doesnt seem to work. "hidFrame" is an IFRAME in the body tag of my JSP1a page.
Can anyone help ? why does this line not fire, when the page has been loaded from a Java Servlet ? but it fires fine when I load the page directly ? and what is the solution to get around this problem please.
Thanks
Robert
JSP1a.jsp
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
     function checkFunction(){
          var seconds = new Date();
          alert("inside function 1c ");
          window.frames.hidFrame.location.href = "jsp2.jsp";
     function retMessage(){
          alert("inside return function");
          window.location.reload(true);
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="setTimeout('checkFunction()',5000);">
<p>this is JSP1a</p>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
alert("inside main body");
</SCRIPT>
<IFRAME frameborder="0" id="hidFrame" style="display:none"></iframe>
</BODY>
</HTML>
JSP2.jsp
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="dbBean" scope="application" class="myApp.DbBean"/>
<HTML>

<%
boolean flag = false;
int i=1;
flag = dbBean.checkForUpdates();
System.out.println("flag = " + flag);
//if(flag == false) {
if (i == 1){
%>
     <BODY onload="parent.retMessage()">
<%} else {%>
     <BODY onload="parent.setTimeout('checkFunction()', 5000)">
<%}%>
</BODY>
</HTML>

its ok, I have found the problem. Someone recommended to me to change the IFRAME tag to make it visible just while I was debugging and low-and-behold there was a 404 error message being displayed which I had no idea about. It couldnt find my JSP2.jsp page. Because I am calling JSP1a from a servlet now, I needed to add a full path to my reference so that the servlet would know where to look. I did this and it works ok. I know its probably not best practice to hard code the full path to JSP2.jsp, I guess I should go back to the servlet and call JSP2 from there ?

Have new PC with windows 8. I own photoshop elements 9 and I have lost all my pictures, albums and tagging, how do I retrieve them?

I own elements 9. All files were backed up to a external hard drive and then downloaded to a new PC, with windows 8. I have lost all my pictures, albums and tagging. How do I retrieve all of this back into Elements 9?

It appears that you have made a backup via Windows and not via the integrated backup/restore process in the organizer. Since the albums and tagging are stored in catalogs, they are lost unless you also made a backup of the catalogs themselves.
The correct way to move your catalog(s) and images to a new computer:

Is your old computer still useable ?

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

Created first album but all other tag categories aren't being displayed

I have had the panel at the right of the page display all of my tag categories for people or places for a long time. I decided to try to putting some of the pictures in Albums for the first time. I clicked create a new album & gave it a name which is being displayed.
My problem is that this album is the only that is being displayed in the right hand panel. In other words I can't see any of the people or places categories tags since the album panel is taking up the entire page. How do I get to see the other tags so that I can add them into the new album?

Without seeing what you are seeing I'll take a shot in the dark. Look at the bottom of the right hand side. If it says "keyword tags" with a triangle to the left then click on the triangle. If keyword tags is nowhere to be found then I am done here.

Ipod cover flow, some albums show up after the letter Z

Hi all, got a strange problem.
I have my ipod set to sort by artist in the cover flow.
However, some albums pop up after the letter Z.
There are over 1400 cd's on it, but a 30-something do this.
I tried adding "artist sorting"tag to the albums, but it still shows.
Trust by Elvis Costello for example shows up after the z, while there is no reason at all to do that according to the info.
Anyone who has any tips, escept deleting the albums and adding them again in the hope the problem disappears ?

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
The albums that appear after Z will be marked as compilations. See my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist for details.

A fast automatic tag fixer for owners of Zen and other tag based players

Fast automatic tag fixer for owners of Zen and other tag based players.
I've written a simple freeware utility for fixing mp3 tag discrepancies. It is intended for use before uploading a bunch of albums to a tag-only media player. There's like a million of such programs out there, but this one is based on my exprience with the Creative Zen player, so it could be useful for fellow owners of the device.
First, the utility scans mp3 album folder tree looking for tag inconsistencies and suggesting corrections. After that you can review (and cancel/modify if needed) the corrections and apply the changes.
The detected tag errors can be corrected either manually or semi-automatically with the integrated Discogs search. There's a tuneable compilation processing feature, which helps keep compilation albums in one piece on your player.
You can check the utility out here http://taghycardia.narod.ru/english.html
Feature suggestions, bug reports welcomed.

The free program has been vastly updated since the last post.
Now, it can find and embed cover art for mp3 albums automatically, or it can do the opposite, remove cover images from mp3 files if you need to save space on your player or mobile device. In addition, there is an ability to correct wrong track order automatically and get exact tracklists from Discogs.
The URL is updated, too: http://taghycardia.info

Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf

Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf
""This above link (thread:834599) is from a case back in 2011 that claims to solve this problem, but it does not solve this problem. I think that customer only cared about having continuous page numbering, not discrete page numbering per sheet.
========================
I still have this issue in Acrobat XI and MS Office Professional Plus 2010. I keep upgrading to no avail. This regression has resulted in a huge time drain for me. If you fixed it, please explain how I can get my hands on the resolution.
Previous versions of Excel and Adobe Acrobat enabled flexibility around the "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) token, depending on context and usage. The "# of pages" token could represent EITHER the number of pages in the workbook OR the number of pages in the tab/sheet, depending on how you generated the PDF:
You could select "Selected Sheets" and then select all or some of the individual sheets in the workbook, and the PDF would honor the discrete numbering of each of the sheets, so the first page of each sheet was p1 and the "# of pages" was the number of pages in the sheet; not the number of pages in the workbook; or
You could select "Entire Workbook" and the PDF would honor continuous page numbers across all sheets, as a single document.
Now, it only honors the total number of pages in the workbook, regardless of the method you use to publish to PDF: saving as PDF, printing to PDF, using "createPDF" from Acrobat plugin to Excel's menu ribbon; selecting all sheets, some sheets, or Entire Workbook; automatic First page number or "1" under Page Setup > Page> First page number. (This last option, btw, does restart every sheet at p1, but it hardly makes sense if the total number of pages is still the total number in the workbook instead of the number in the sheet.)
I spent a lot of time trying each which way that the blog posts recommended and have tried this on multiple versions of Excel and Acrobat now.
NONE of these time-consuming experiments gave me what I wanted.They all insist that "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) is the total number of pages in the workbook or the total number of pages in the selected sheets combined.
The numbering are correct in Excel Page Layout.
The same issue happens when using LibreOffice calc. (Although, I never tested with Libre Office before, so I don't know that it ever worked).
The workaround now is to create PDF for each spreadsheet one at a time, and then compile them using the Acrobat combine/binder feature. All alternatives are extremely time consuming and tedious. It used to be automatic. This is a major regression that has gone untreated for over a year now, maybe two years.
My task takes infinitely more time to complete than it did with previous versions of Acrobat. That means that days are added to my project, when the functionality used to enable a quick pdf generation that was ready for review, now I have to do this very manual time-consuming set of steps to generate a draft. As the project has grown and more tabs are added, my pdf-generation task takes that much longer. We require lots of drafts. It used to be easy and fast. Now it is hard and time-consuming.
In my opinion, the problem is not Excel; it is Acrobat because it was introduced with an upgrade in Acrobat, not an upgrade in Excel. The problem was introduced in Acrobat 9 or 10. Please provide a patch or add-on or something.

If you are setting up the page numbers in Excel, the resulting PDF would display the the page numbers created in Excel. On Excel 2010 support page, (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/insert-and-remove-page-numbers-on-worksheets- HA010342619.aspx#BM2) is stated the following "tip" which indicates by default Excel 2010 starts numbering each tab with 1. Exel's workaround tip is below -
Set a different number for the starting page
Tip To number all of the worksheet pages in a workbook sequentially, first add page numbers to all worksheets in a workbook, and then use the following procedure to begin the page number for each worksheet with the appropriate number. For example, if your workbook contains two worksheets that with both be printed as two pages, you would use this procedure to begin the page numbering for the second worksheet with the number 3.
On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Dialog Box Launcher next to Page Setup.
On the Page tab, in the First page number box, type the number that you want to use for the first page.
Tip To use the default numbering system, type Auto in the First page number box.
Also helpful in the same section is the note on viewing page numbers. To see if the page numbering dilemma originates in Excel make sure you are using the Page Layout View see below:
Hide All
If you want numbers shown on pages when you print a worksheet you can insert page numbers in the headers or footers of the worksheet pages. Page numbers that you insert are not displayed on the worksheet in Normal view — they are shown only in Page Layout view and on the printed pages.
Overall it may be easier not to create the page numbers in Excel but instead create then in Acrobat using the Headers and Footers option in Acrobat. I hope this helps - it sounds like a frustrating issue you are experiencing.

3G service issues, no text sounds, hear other people's conversations, etc..

I'm having some issues with my new iPhone 3G... I wasn't having any of these issues with my old original iPhone... any thoughts?
3G reception... I live in downtown Denver. I've checked the coverage maps at AT&T's website, and I should have full 3G coverage in my area. I don't. In fact, if I have 3G turned on, I have no service at all... it actually says "no service" and I can make or receive no calls whatsoever. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store replaced the phone last week. This fixed nothing. They had no other answers and said they'd never heard of this issue before. My sister has AT&T with a Palm Treo and she lives on the same block as me. She gets fantastic 3G reception. My roommate has AT&T with an LG VU and gets great 3G reception as well.
Next problem... my phone doesn't make sound when I receive text messages. Apple support over the phone said to do a hard reset. So I did... and the sound works for a few hours... and then stops. The Genius Bar told me to do a restore on iTunes... so I did... and this seemed to fix the problem for a day, and then the problem came back. I did another hard reset, which again fixed the problem for a short while, but then the sound quit working again. This problem has been persistent on both my original iPhone 3G and the replacement 3G from last week.
Next... Two or three times a week I can hear other peoples phone conversations when I'm trying to have my own conversation, so I have to hang up and try the call again. And it's not like it's very faint... it's like they're right on the phone with me, but they can't hear me or the person I'm on the phone with. I've never had this problem with any other phone before. Both iPhone 3G's (my original 3G I bought a few weeks ago and the replacement from the Genius Bar last week) have this problem.
This next one is probably not so much a problem with the phone as with iTunes... every time I plug my phone into my computer to sync, it takes a minimum of 45 minutes to backup. I usually just end up canceling the backup because I don't have time to wait around. This is incredibly inconvenient... I don't understand why it takes this long. I have an iBook G4 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.4. I have the most current version of iTunes.
Quite often when I push the home button to try and do anything with my phone, the screen flashes and then goes blank. When I try to wake it again, the screen stays blank and the phone is completely unresponsive. I have to hold down the power button until the screen comes on with the option to turn off the phone to get the phone to respond. Both my original 3G and the replacement 3G have this problem as well.
Ok, I think that's it for now. Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

Please HELP join these 2 iTunes folders in Windows 7 preserving album artwork & tags (discussion reply requested)

(Discussion Reply Requested ) Please HELP join these 2 iTunes folders in
Windows 7 preserving album artwork & "tags"
I have searched and not found an up to date understandable answer as how
to join 2 working portable same (apple ID) user iTunes folders into one itunes folder
while above all else preserving hand edited Abum Artwork and hand edited tags.
( It was many hours of hand edited added Album Artwork and editing of tags )
Situation is Windows 7 ( 64 bit ) with current iTunes installed ( 2014-03-17 )
The hard drive crashed and the old \iTunes folder and all old contents have been copied and backed up.
The windows 7 64 bit and latest iTunes 64 bit has been re-installed cleanly ( no old music added )
Music from the iTunes cloud was then added/downloaded into iTunes
Now \itunes has 40 gig of music available to play.
Now I want to join the currently installed working \itunes folder ( 40 gig of music )
with the old saved \itunes folder ( 100 gig of music ) into just one \iTunes folder
with preserving the current Album Artwork and editing of "tags" of both folders.
I have seen previous answers that use words like " consolidate " , " export / import ",
" merge " , " apple home sharing " , " use explorer to copy ..." , ect
none of which mentioned if the current Album Artwork
or tags survive unchanged from their current "specially edited" status.
I know their may be the ineviatable "duplicates", but there seems
to be several ways to handle them. ( If you know the best way to
prevent or remove duplicates in this situation with joining two
iTunes folders in Windows please include that information also ).
Please provide an explanation of how to join these 2 iTunes folders
in Windows 7 into one \iTunes folder while preserving Album Artwork and tags.

Mike, thanks for the response. I will try this. I'll have to dig around here too, bc I want to know more about how I can import a windows xml file (while replacing the drive paths) and it creating a seperate itunes library with the pointers on the mac. Essentially, I have 2 libraries and there may not be a way around this with a windows machine and a mac - ive read plenty on Choose library on open, and mac to mac, windows to windows.
I also need to know more about what is getting stored in the album art folders. I believe it seems that when you select all, and copy the image in the artwork get info page its actually embedding these images in the files themselves, but if you paste into the left bottom artwork display pane its just adding where?? If I deleted the contents of this folder what would happen, should I not be copying this content?
If I update the images on the mac and swap out the drive paths and move the external drive back to the windows box, will i lose any updates I did while on the mac?
Good suggestion though, I'll try this out.

Retain the metadata associated with a doc after conversion to pdf

I am using word automation service to convert word document to a pdf in a sharepoint 2010 document library. however after the conversion of the document from word to pdf the associated metadata is lost. (i.e the converted document which is added to the library doesn't retain
the old metadata like duedate,doc id etc...)
Can someone help me how to retain the metadata associated with list after conversion of document to PDF.
I am using one ItemAdded event reciever in which when I am trying to looping out the library in which all word documents are there, I am not getting the last updated document that got converted into pdf.
Code which I am using is below: Here destContenttype is content type of the the document and destFilename is file name of the document.
SPListItemCollection newLstItms = lstNonPublishLst.GetItems(newSqlQuery);
                foreach (SPItem newItem in newLstItms)
                    if (newItem["Content Type"].ToString() == destContenttype && newItem["Name"].ToString().Split('.')[0] == destFileName[0])
                        properties.ListItem["Document Number"] = newItem["Document Number"];
                        properties.ListItem.SystemUpdate();
                        break;
Please advise, it is really urgent.
Thanks in Advance

I have worked on copying SharePoint meta data (and painfully fine tuning it to deal with all exceptions, 3rd party apps and content types) for the last 8 years. Not full time though :-)
It is part of a commercial product that does PDF Conversion in SharePoint and takes great care of dealing with meta data. Have a look at
this blog post.
Apologies for the shameless plug, but as you are in a hurry it may be the best, and most reliable, solution.

Videos too heavy after conversion (Zen V Pl

Hi everybody. I bought a MP3 Player Zen V plus. My problem is that I have to convert the videos before to put them on the MP3 Player. But after conversion, the videos become too heavy, so that I can't by example put a divx movie on the player (If a divx movie is 600 mo before conversion, he is 2 go after conversion.)Can anyone help me ?Thanks. PS : Sorry if my english is bad, I am french and that's difficult for me.

Sorry, I should have included an English version as well.....it basically says try PocketDivx (my preference) or SuperC. I forgot the Zen V Plus uses a uncompressed AVI....the direct copy?option within PocketDivx may work....may not. ---------------- - As HHS points out, the Zen V Plus uses a uncompressed AVI format. If you try PocketDivx, in the advance options, there is a option to direct copy the video and audio stream...this may work. Comme HHS fait remarquer, le V zen Plus utilise un format de AVI sans compression. Si vous essayez PocketDivx, dans les options d'avance, il y a une option pour diriger la copie le vid?o et le ruisseau audio. ..this peut travailler.Message Edited by Locknar on 04-20-200707:4 PM

PSE7 Are People and other Tags Stored in Image File

Does anyone know if the People and other tags are stored by PSE7 in the image file? Since there are well defined "Keyword" data fields in both the IPTC and XMP metadata standards, I would think PSE would store them in the image file in addition to whatever it puts in the Catalog. However, none of my other programs that read image metadata (PhotoME, PIE, iExif) are finding anything. Other programs such as Windows Photo Gallery put the keywords in the image file.
I don't have a lot of experience with PSE so perhaps I am just missing something obvious.

PSE stores the "truth" about keyword tags, dates, captions, notes, star ratings, stacks, version sets, albums, and projects in its "catalog" file. If you change a date, caption, note, or star rating, PSE also writes it back into the file's metadata (the "EXIF"). But for keyword tags, you need to give the command File > Write Keyword Tag to get it written back.
