Migrate to New PC and Upgrade from PSE7 to PSE9 - How do I Restore Catalog?

Hello,
I recently bought a new PC.  To migrate, I copied all of my data files (including 50GBs of images) to the new PC HDD.  I also performed a full backup of my two PSE7 catalogs I want to migrate.
I installed PSE9 on the new machine.  When I restore from my PSE7 backup file, will it recognize the source file images already present on the HDD and only restore the catalog metadata or will the PSE9 create a new copy resulting in two copies of the same file?
I appreciate the help.

Apologies for butting into this thread. I have a similar problem. I have just acquired a new PC and I'm trying to migrate my PSE7 program and some 15,000 images into the new PC. Unfortunately I was ignorant of the Elements Backup process and have always simply backed up my image files from Windows Explorer, as with all my other types of data, onto external drives.
I installed PSE7 onto the new desktop and dragged the image folders and contents across from a Windows Explorer window onto the blank PSE Organiser pane. PSE then imported all the images into Organiser but only a small proportion came across with their tags. No categories or sub-categories transferred with the images.
Having realised I'd done things entirely the wrong way I then started to read the Help (typical male - read the instructions AFTER you've screwed up!) I found out how to import the category/sub-category structure and have done that, but it's simply appeared as a list under the heading "Imported Keyword Tags" which isn't tidy. The bigger problem is that most of the images have lost their basic keyword tags and there are way too many to go through and re-tag!
So what's the best way out of this mess? I could perhaps delete the whole catalogue (I have just one) from the new PC's PSE7 (leaving the images still on the hard drive) and do a Back-up in PSE7 on the old PC and then attempt to "restore" this to the new PC - but will this create a second edition of all my images on the new PC's hard drive?
Do I have to go right back to square one and delete the image files from the new PC hard drive and do a full Backup on the old machine and Restore on the new one (having first deleted the Catalogue from the new PC)?

  • HT201269 I have lost my iPhone 3GS. It was backed up to my computer using iTunes. I now have a new iPhone 4 series from a friend. How can I restore the backup information for my previous phone to the new phone?

    I have lost my iphone 3GS. It was backed up to my macbook pro using itunes. I now have a new iphone series 4 (china model). How can I access the backup information for my old phone and put it on my new one?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
    Sync Calendars:
    Your calendars are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

  • I downloaded the new OS, and my contacts have disappeared.  How do I restore them?

    I was not backup on icloud or my macbook.

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly, most especially before any update/restore/etc
    If you have failed to sync your contacts, then they are very likely gone.
    You can try restoring from backup

  • I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. After a few weeks the HDD failed. New Leopard install reports: "insufficient memory". I need Tiger install disks so I can install

    I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.
    After a few weeks the HDD failed. I bought a new disk, installed it and trued to install Leopard, but the  install fails reporting "insufficient memory".
    I assume the installation requires more memory than the OS actually needs to be able to run.
    I need Tiger install CD/DVD so I can install Tiger first and then upgrade to Leopard.

    Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
    The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
    You need much more RAM than that.

  • Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new sad and upgraded to Mountain Lion., but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  Graham

    Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)?

    How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)? Install the system (10.9.1) on a blank disk, copied the program and set up manually. Mail accounts and folders does not work to install and configure. Migration Assistant does not want to use, as it copies everything, and you only need to e-mail. Read a lot, but nothing works.

    Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
    Reindex messages.
    If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
    Quit the application.
    You need to look in your user Library. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.  Move the file to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

    If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

  • HT1711 I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to iTunes.

    I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to my iTunes.  I goal is to get my iPod filled with the music that I have stored on my iPhone and figured the only way to do so is to use iTunes as my transfer hub.  Any suggestions?

    Wow you're kind of a iTunes bully.  Dude the reason I am asking for advice and help is I am completely computer ********.  If I knew the answer I wouldn't be asking.  Anyways.  Question to anyone else. 
    If I have no music on my iTunes at all and no music on my computer, hard drive or any other version of storage yet there is a playlist on my iPhone. While my iPhone is plugged into my PC and my iTunes is up, is there a way to swap my playlist from my iPhone to my iTunes?  Directly?  Without downloading some new media source or backing up my old media source from my history.  The reason everything was deleted (iTunes and media source) was due to the size of everything and space it was requiring.  I am simply trying to get 233 songs from A to B. 
    I have tried magic but it is not working.

  • Move Acrobat license to new machine and upgrade at same time... not accepting old serial number

    I had Acrobat 9 Pro on an old computer. I am moving to a new computer. I wanted to move my old license to the new computer and upgrade. The online sales guy told me I needed to deactivate and uninstall on the old computer (done), then download the upgrade and install it (done, using the serial number provided when I purchased the upgrade). Now, Acrobat XI says there is no old version on the machine (true... I was told I didn't need to install it) and it asked for a serial number. I entered the serial number off of the box that Acrobat 9 Pro came in and the program tells me it is not a valid serial number. What should I do???

    Hi Acemoore,
    There are no issues with serial numbers. Please login to Adobe.com and check the serial numbers you are entering are correct.

  • Admin Console not displaying new Users and Groups from LDAP

    We created a new Realm in WebLogic, which specifies the location of the Netscape

    I am not sure why you are unable to see the users and groups through the

    Keep powering your phone off and back on, it can take up to 2 hours for a normal service provider to finalize the activation process.  When you got your new iPhone (congrats by the way) you should have received a little bubble that appeared that told you when the phone was activated, did you see that?
