Migrating from PSE 5.0 on Windows XP to PSE 8.0 on Windows 7

I am running PSE 5.0 on Windows XP on my old computer.  Half of my images (about 55GB--or about 15,000 images) are on the C drive under My Pictures  (lots of folders under there).  The other half are on an external  USB drive which I will be moving to my new computer.   Can I just follow the full backup and restore suggestion for the earlier question today?  I understand about renaming the external drive and giving it the same drive letter but obviously the full path name for the images currently on the C drive will be different.  Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

I strongly recommend first upgrading to PSE 8 on the old computer, and then moving your catalog and photos to the new computer.  That will make troubleshooting much easier -- given that you're changing computers, version of Windows, and version of PSE, it's very possible you'll run into problems.  It's likely that PSE 8 will run fast enough on your old computer to do the upgrade (it will probably be sluggish).
Then, once you've upgraded to PSE 8, you have two options for moving your catalog and photos:
1. Use the backup/restore method:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos_1
You'll need to restore all of your photos on the external drive or on the C drive -- you can't split them.  But this method is usually the most straightforward method to use, especially for people who aren't experienced Windows administrators.   After you do the restore, you could use PSE to rearrange the locations of your photos:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos
2. Copy the catalog folder from the old computer to the new (do Help > System Info in the Organizer to find the location).   Copy the picture folders on the C drive from the old to the new.  Plug in the external drive to the new computer.  PSE 8 will correctly find your photos on the external drive even if the drive letter is different (because it uses the drive's volume serial number).  But because you're moving from XP to Windows 7, the paths of the folders on the C drive are likely going to be different, and if they are, you'll have to do File > Reconnect > All Missing to reconnect your catalog with the new location of the drive C photos.  The Reconnect command can take some patience and very careful reading to use:

Most people don't have the patience and get tripped up by it.

  • Migrating from PSE 5.0 Windows to PSE 6.0 Mac

    I am trying to figure out how to migrate from PSE 5.0 for Windows to PSE 6.0 for Mac.
    When I migrated from PSE4.0 to PSE5.0 (windows) I simply backed up and then restored the catalog.
    I have backed up the catalog from PSE 5.0 but don't know how to import the info into PSE 6.0 for Mac. Being as there is no Organizer window in the Mac version I assume it is done via Bridge, but didn't see anything to restore a catalog.
    Is it possible or do I just point Bridge at my photos and get it to create tags from the keywords embedded in the pics?
    All suggestions and hints welcome.

    As not many users here are familiar with Elements at all, I suggest you post in one of the Photoshop

  • Migrating from BEA WebLogic 5.1 (Windows 2000) to iAS9

    Hi!
    I am looking for a step-by-step guide for migrating from BEA WebLogic 5.1 (Windows 2000) to iAS9. The guide should contain the detailed information on how to migrate servlets and EJBs.
    Some of my questions are:
    - What do I have to do when I have system startup files from WebLogic? Are there equivalent properties for iAS9?
    # Register a startup class by giving it a virtual name and
    # supplying its full pathname.
    #weblogic.system.startupClass.[virtual_name]=[full_pathname]
    # Add arguments for the startup class
    #weblogic.system.startupArgs.[virtual_name]={argname]=[argvalue]
    - How do I set the system properties?
    Phuoc
    null

    This a response to the specific point of startup/shutdown classes, a whole Migration paper is underway
    Since Servlet 2.2 and EJB containers in 9i AS run within the middle tier database instance,
    the easier way to accompish what you want is to declare those classes as database startup/shutdown triggers (Java stored procedures).
    You can also set session properties using the "modifyprops" command (cf Java Tools Reference)

  • Migrating from PSE for Windows 6 to PSE for Mac 6 including metadata

    Can't find anything in the knowledge base on this.
    I am giving up on Windows. Its just too messy and ugly. One of the final changes will be migrating from MS Windows Vista and PSE 6 to a brand new Mac, using LEopard 10.5.2 and PSE for Mac 6.
    I want to migrate my images from the Windows machine, as well as the metadata organizing information. Surely I am not the only one with this need. I know I can save the mages in a mutually readable file format, export, and have them on the Mac, but I have a great deal of metatdata and image organization in the Windows version of PSE 6.
    Please tell me how to migrate the entirety of PSE for Windows to my new Mac.
    Thanks.....

    Some related questions-- can Bridge CS3 search sub-folders? Could I filter for a Keyword at the top of a tree, and locate all files with that keyword in sub-folders?
    While exporting files from PSA2 on a PC I am using Share / Email to attach my existing keywords. Can they be drag-and-drop added to a Hierarchy in the Keywords panel? (Either from the Filter panel where they are automatically listed and counted, or from the "Other" location in the Keywords panel where they appear italicized?)
    I had deluded myself into believing that PSE6 for the Mac included Organizer. Would Lightroom be a logical option for organizing? Particularly if I want to catalog many images on CD without storing them on disk? Can it be purchased separately? What other options would you recommend?

  • Migrating from PSE 7 on a PC to PSE 8 on a Mac.

    I am unable to find a place in Bridge to restore my backup from PSE 7. I am sure there must be a way. If I simply place the picture files over on the iMac, the stacks are not maintained. In other words each photo may have several versions, all showing as a unique object. Additionally, my keyword data has been written to the metadata of each photo, but when imported the hiarchy is not maintained. All the keywords simply land in one group that is called "other keywords". How about a little help?
    Barry in St. Louis

    I am unable to find a place in Bridge to restore my backup from PSE 7.
    That's because you can't do that. The organizer backup is strictly for the organizer's own use and you can't restore it from any other program.
    As for your keywords, yes, you will need to re-establish your hierarchies. Drag a keyword onto another keyword in the Bridge keyword panel to create sub-keywords. You can create as many levels of hierarchy as you want. It's a pain, but it is a one-time thing, at least.
    Stacking will also have to be redone. There's no way to tell other programs about stacks, although bridge does let you stack photos.

  • Migrating from PSE 5 old computer to PSE 8 new computer

    Can anyone give advice on the best way to transfer PSE 5 catalog and photo files from old system to new system. Old system: PSE 5 organizer/catalog on internal hard drive and photo files on two external drives (ran out of space on the first external drive). Now have new computer with with two large internal hard drives - plan to use one primarily for programs (e.g. Windows 7 and PSE 8) and the other reserved for the photo files. Thank you.

    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos_1
    Also, best not to mix up the two moves. Install PSE5 on the new computer, make sure everything is running properly, and only then convert the catalog to PSE8. In order to make sure everything is running properly on the new computer in PSE5, your photos have to be in the exact same folders on the exact same hard disk(s) as they were on the old computer (i.e. they have to be on the external drives, and the drives have to have the same letters as on the old computer)
    When it is time to move the photos to the internal hard drive (a third move!), do not do this in Windows. Let me say that again: do not do this in Windows. Should I say it a third time? You must move the photos using PSE Organizer commands, as described in http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos

  • Problem with date format parameter in SSRS2012 after migration from SSRS2008

    Hello,
    We are migration from
    Reporting Services 2008 on Windows 2008 server
    to
    Reporting Services 2012 with Always On on Windows 2012 server.
    I have a report that expects a date in the querystring: "...&DateTo=17/09/2014"
    This use to work in the previous environment and now fails !
    I logged onto the server with the credentials that runs SSRS and changed its regional settings to French(France): It didn't helped.
    I tried passing in the date otherwise "...&DateTo=09/17/2014": it worked !
    I tried changing the regional settings in my IE and it worked but that can't be a solution... it is still working on my Windows 2008 server... unless there is a statement from Microsoft that it explains that now it works only like this but I would be surprised... is it ?
    I also saw that changing a directive in the web page can help but, why did it stopped working, is it the handling of a default value for regional settings that changed in SSRS ?
    I would need help to understand this, thank you for any help you can provide.
    Regards,
    Claude VERNIER
    

    Hi Claude,
    Based on my research, SQL Server doesn’t supports DD/MM/YYYY date format. When we insert “17/09/2014” value in a date type column, it pops up an error message that “String was not recognized as a valid DateTime”. It means that the value “17/09/2014” is acted
    as “2014/17/09” string. So in your scenario, we cannot get the expect results.
    To work around this issue, we should change it to “09/17/2014”.

  • Migration from PE 8 (Windows) to PE 11 - What steps?? (MAC)

    I am planning to migrate from PE 8 (Windows) to PE 11 (Mac). I will continue to use the PE catalog in PE 11 to organize my library of 16,000+ photos.  Although I had considered moving to Aperture for my Digital Asset Manager (in order to more seamlessly work in an Apple environment), I have instead decided to stay with PE since I am familiar with it and happy with its functionality. 
    I am hoping that this forum can help me: I need to know what steps to follow to perform this migration.  (I am a non-technical user.  All I know thus far is  that I need buy a boxed version or PE11 -  NOT download it from the Apple app site - in order to get the cataloging function.)  I would like the process to enable me to port both my photos AND my hierarchical keyword tagging structure.  
    (Some background on why I am asking this question proactively: I was severely burned in a previous upgrade from PE 5 to PE 8 (Windows XP to  Windows 7) where ALL of my tagging got lost in the move. This, despite hours of work with the Adobe support team who had me write the keywords into metadata and re-backup, re-port, etc, etc.  It was a nightmare of many hours spent.  All unsuccessful.  I ended up manually re-tagging each of my photos.  Needless to say, I do not want to go through that again,)
    Thanks in advance for your help.  Amy

    Elements Downloader doesn't auto run on a mac. It's set up so that you always have to launch it from organizer.
    If you know you won't use iphoto, then it's a good idea to go to the iphoto preferences>General>When a camera is connected, and choose No Application, in which case the card will mount like a drive on your desktop and you can drag the photos from it or launch PSE Downloader, or choose Image Capture, in which case apple's own OS X downloader/scanner utility launches and you can use that, then File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders to bring them into Organizer.
    For moving the catalog, the most important thing is to be sure the catalog is okay in windows first, so do go to manage catalogs>repair, and then optimize before backing up. The transfer is very easy when it works.

  • Migrating from SBS 2011 to Windows Server 2012R2 Standard with 365

    Im looking to move SBS 2011 to Server 2012R2 standard and with a 365 migration as well.
    Im thinking
    BPA for AD (health check)
    Add the Server2012R2 as a DC
    Ensure replication
    Move DHCP
    Change DNS
    Now this is where I get lost, now Im lost to use either dirsync or add essentials service, I have gone for standard and 30 cals with the option  as I have 28 users and the essentials service would make everything quite nice for remote access and backups
    etc....  however I don't know whether to just use dirsync with password replication instead ?
    Currently Im aiming towards getting the dc up and running then enabling essentials on the dc but I dont know how it will effect SBS and having essentials on the same network and sync'ing people to the cloud ? So Should I use DirSync on a different server
    instead to sync up to azure ?
    Finally with 365 I have only ever done a migration involving an export of pst's from an exchange box and then on a new domain with new pc's and reimport the pst's on the user accounts in outlook.
    However I have read when migrating to 365 was using exchange 2010 there was a application
    to move everything across however you needed an ssl cert iirc ? so I dont know how it works now since the nice new dashboard upgrade (assuming the tool has been updated like dirsync)
    along with the above how does AD now know where exahcnge if you use the migration app with an ssl cert and is it a case of still running the 365 config tool to configure each user to look at their mail in the
    cloud ? Also is it a good idea to enable essentials from the start of the 2012r2 dc for replication top 365 or to use dirsync ?
    then finally when replications is all good start transferring the FSMO roles over to the new DC and demote and remove the SBS server
    I have seen (below) but i dont think it covers this scenario and I cant be the only person in this situation =\ ?

  • Migration from Small business server 2011 standad to Windows 2012 Server Standard

    Hi everyone,
    I have a network with SBS 2011 standard (that is the only server) and now we are moving (migrating) to windows 2012 server standard with an exchange 2013 (not yet installed).
    The main thing is that when trying to install the migration tool on the SBS server, it will not install because it is not a 2008 R2 server.
    is there a workaround for this problem?
    I Hope this will help. Amir Ovadia

    Hi,
    Would you please first let me know how did you perform the migration? Regarding the migration tool, is it the Windows Server Migration Tools in Windows Server 2012 R2? Since you need to install
    the Windows Server Migration Tools on the source SBS 2011 server, I suggest we could perform the following steps to install it.
    Create deployment folders for ource computers by running the
    smigdeploy.exe tool (included with Windows Server Migration Tools) on your destination server.
    Register Windows Server Migration Tools on source computers that are running Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, or Windows
    Server 2003 by using SmigDeploy.exe.
    For details, please refer to the following article.

    I have recently done with SAP ECC6 migration from Windows 2003_32bit to Windows 2003_x86_64 platform.
    DB is Oracle 10g, No such critical errors found during migration, But Now I am facing a big problem related to memory utilization, The source machine have 5GB RAM and utilization of 8-9 GB total memory i.e including virtual memory Where as in the Target System ( Windows 64bit) after system copy done, Its using 22GB + memory ( RAM 8 GB , Virtual Mem : 16 GB assigned ).  Database sizes are same in both machine but memory utilization are different in huge term. Its impacting in performance badly.
    Please suggest how to solve the problem where to start and how to proceed.... My bad days are going on..
    Need your master help ...

    Hi,
    The reason may be that you have increased the memory parameters for this new system and it is now using the memory slice you provided.  Try to identify what are the areas that are using more memory using transaction ST02. Also review the recommendations for memory parameters  in the following notes:

  • 10g form canvas not fitting into the window....migrated from 6i

    I have some forms that I migrated from 6i to 10g on an XP machine. The entire form is not being displayed. I increased the size of the applet window in the ODS environment. This did indeed get larger, but did not rectify the problem. I then tried to increase the size of the canvases and windows on the form. The only thing that this accomplished, as you might expect, is that it just added scroll bars to the form so that I can see the entire form by adding a scroll bar so that I could scroll to see the entire form. What I need to do is to display the entire form without having scroll bars displayed. Help will be greatly appreciated. Thanx. Paul

    Is your form displaying inside the browser window or in a separate window?
    If you maximize the window, is your form still being cut off (displaying blank space to the right or at the bottom)?

    Since migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and upgrading to iTunes 11, the latter has frozen while syncing my devices, usually while at the “determining apps to sync” stage of the process.  If I am attempting to download app updates before attempting to sync, the problem normally occurs at the first “installing app x” stage.  In addition, the whole iTunes experience is extremely sluggish and will even freeze while searching for a track.  Everything worked fine on Windows 7.  So far, I have repaired the program several times and have checked for compatibility issues, but there is no Windows 8 option in the combo box, obtained after right-clicking the icon and selecting Properties/Compatibility.  As a result, I am unable to sync my devices. If I uninstall iTunes before re-installing, will this affect my iTunes libraries?  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
    1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
    2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
    So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
    So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.
