Missing catalog: help me recover Organizer albums/content

When a drive was replaced April 2014 on a Win7 computer, the old Adobe Elements Organizer 12.0.0.0 catalog went missing.
The default new one has been in use since for new projects. It has been Optimized and Repaired, no change.
I'm trying to find the old catalog for use.  Searched for *.TLY *.TLU *.BUC and catalog.*
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\CONVERTED ELEMENTS 9\catalog_1.pse12db is 312MB.
Double-click or right-click/Open of this file does nothing.
Help!
There is a .buc file from January 2014 on an external drive, but no .TLY or .TLU with it and "catalog restore" does not cope when browsed to it.
There is a .tly from March 2013 that is currently in the process of "restoring" to a new location, but that's missing more than a year of projects.
Any help will be appreciated.

Andaleeb,
Thanks for your reply.  I had asked earlier if it’s possible to retrieve it from a backup of Elements 7 program files.  I did not specifically do a backup of the catalog because at that time I didn’t know I had to in order to import it into the new Elements 11.  I had planned to just install 11 & move over the catalog then remove E7 from my computer.  Unfortunately things didn’t happen that way due to my computer having troubles. As was noted in an earlier thread.

  • Help re: Recovered Photo Albums

    Hi there,
    I have an album in my iPhoto library called recovered Photos. When I open it up it shows 50 jpgs but doesn't show the picture of what it is. When I click open, it won't open and it shows that I have images in there, but when I click to open it won't show anything except the image name at the top. I just don't want to delete this album in the case that I don't have it in another Album.
    Any help would be appreciate please.
    Tracey

    Thanks for that Nancy,
    yes I've done all that the site is up and all created wih several pages.
    I created t in fronpage first and have been editing it and 'Put'ing files up for the past few days.
    The only thing that doesn't seem to work for me is creating this photo album
    I'm trying to create the folder by poiting the source files at a local files folder which I'm sure is the correct way.
    When you select folders with images in are oyu able to see previews of the files
    Hope this makes sense..
    thanks

  • Recovered Photos album automatically created, but no error messages.

    Previously when I opened iPhoto, I received a message (or rather 2 {I believe} duplicate messages) about importing recovered photos. I clicked OK and it created a Recovered Photos album, but its contents were empty. I deleted this album by putting it into iPhoto's Trash. When I reopened iPhoto, I received the message again, but this time it created a "Recovered Photos 2" album.
    I quit iPhoto and deleted the Import folder from my iPhoto Library. Now I don't get any messages, but the Recovered Photos (not Recovered Photos 2) album is still there. If I trash it and restart iPhoto, the it is automatically created again.
    How can I stop iPhoto from automatically creating the Recovered Photos album? I'm not receiving any error messages or messages whatsoever.

    Addendum to all about this question - I am trying to import my original CDs - hangs and does nothing at first track. Trashed the .plist, no help. Reinstalled fresh copy of iTunes - helped - FOR ONE DISK. After that, same problem.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 organizer albums have disappeared

  • I purchased a new computer and after setting up iTunes with the new computer, the majority of my previously bought songs appeared, except for one album. How do I recover this album without having to repurchase it?

    Can anyone help me in trying to recover this album? I don't want to have to repurchase it because I already paid for it once.

    One way is to restore from backup. The other way is to use iTunes on your old computer to burn a hard copy of the album (ie, make a audio CD.) Then import the songs to your new computer.

    Did you buy the Editor only version? Here's the product comparison - Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 - Buying guide.

  • My notes just disappeared from IPOD and Mail.  Can anyone help me recover them?

    My Notes just disappeared from IPOD and Mail.  It may have been after a sync.  Can anyone help me recover them?

    Looks that something has gone wrong with the reset as you still have Firefox profile folders with a date/time stamp that a reset creates, but are using a regular default profile.<br />
    Such a new default profile is likely to have been created because of a problem with the profiles.ini file (if profiles.ini is missing the Firefox will create a new default profile).
    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    You can look at the time stamps or check the name of the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • Update to 4.2 has deleted all my published albums content from Lightroom...

    Does anyone know how to resync published albums? All my published albums (all still untouched on my photoshop.com gallery) no longer have the published photos in them inside Lightroom. The folder architecture is untouched. I am worried that a sync will simply delete all photos published online...how to restore the albums content to pre 4.2 update status?

    Whatever catalog you opened/worked with last will be the one that is used the next time you open Lightroom. Thus, this backup is now your default. You don't have to move the file, but you are more than welcome to. You can't do it from within Lightroom though. You can do this though:
    1. Go to Lightroom > Catalog Settings (Mac OS) or Edit > Catalog Settings (Windows)
    2. Under the General tab, click the Show button to open a Finder (Mac OS)/Explorer (Windows) window of the folder containing your catalog.
    3. Leaving the Finder/Explorer window open, close Lightroom.
    4. Move the catalog file ([CatalogName].lrcat) and the previews file ([CatalogName] Previews.lrdata) to a new location.
    5. Double-click the catalog file. This will launch Lightroom using this catalog file in its new location (if you don't do this, Lightroom will ask you where the catalog file went the next time you launched it).

  • Help.  My ITunes library content vanished. Cannot find files anywhere .

    Help.  My ITunes library content has vanished. Cannot find files anywhere .  Still accessing store via my phone and all my purchases are there etc but on my laptop the library is empty.. I have AVG and have put Itunes as exception as read that might be an issue.  Im really not sure what to do .

    Hi sooz180,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you can see all of your purchased music on your iPhone but the library on your computer in iTunes is empty. If the music was purchased from iTunes you can get this music back to your iTunes Library two different ways. You can either transfer purchases from the iPhone to the iTunes Library, or you can just download the music again from the Purchased section of iTunes. I will post the information on both ways to recover your purchased music below.

  • Zen Touch: Organize Albums in hierarchical w

    Hey guys,
    a question: is it possible to organize albums (or playlists, songs) on a Zen Touch player in an hierarchical way?
    The idea is, to have two top directories, one for me, one for my wife.
    Within one of the directories, we would like to have a directory for "Audio Books", in that one a directory for "Harry Potter", and so on...
    If this is not possible: What would be an alternati've way to organize albums?
    Thanks
    Ulf

    Maybe playlists will help you out?

    I am working in photshop elements 13 organizer, album view, and would like to resequence (rearrange) the photos shown in the album but am unable to do so.  My understanding is that you can click on the phots that you want to move and drag it to a new location within the same album.  After i select the photo that I want to move and click on the photo, I get a cirlcle with a diagonal throught it and am unable to drag the photo to its new location.  What am I doing wrong?  I know this should be a simple thing to do.  Thanks

    Jimmy RG
    In the Elements Organizer 13
    The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
    Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
    You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
    Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
    in the line up of thumbnails.
    Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
    Please let us know if that worked for you.
    Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

  • "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing."  Help!!

    "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing." Help!!
    Hello everyone, I have looked throughout this forum but couldn’t find anything similar so I am posting this in the hope of someone helping me out.
    I have encountered some problems with iTunes (most recent edition) after doing a Dell update which seems to have knocked something out with iTunes.
    Whenever I hit the iTunes icon it refuses to run and iTunes displays the following message:-
    "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I don’t want to reinstall itunes from fresh as this will mean losing all the records and playlists that I have spent the last 3 years using.
    I first want to try by getting my old one back by any means neccessary.
    Like I said this problem first happened after a standard Dell update.
    I do have the option of doing a restore with the Dell or using Windows Vista restore itself but I fear I do not have enough disk space.
    On the Dell update I can restore to settings of a previous date which might bring iTunes back but when attempt to do
    that I keep getting the following message,
    "Not enough free disk space to back up"
    Around this time I am given a lists of what will be backed up and this readsas follows:-
    Pics 2.87gb
    Music 71.72gb
    Videos 330.57mb
    Documents 219.11mb
    Email etc 203.64mb
    How do I free up disk space to do the back up? An external hard drive?? If I baIs there anyway of getting a previous version of iTunes back?
    My drive information is as follows:-
    C Drive: Very little room - red warning - 5.67gb of 138gb
    D Drive: 6.34gb of 9.99 free
    Do I have too much music?
    Ideally don't want to reinstall itunes as is a ball ache, and it has all the playlists etc so if there is
    a way of restoring and getting back iTunes either via restoring system to the prior date when iTunes was ok.
    C drive is really full now. How can I clean this up and make more room? Do I need to add memory? Are all the songs
    causing the problem? What advise can you give me? Please help.
    Thanks!

    Nodders:
    I've recently had exactly the same message as you, after iTunes updated to 10.1.1.4. First of all, I checked the *My Music* folder to make sure it was still there - it was. (I do have a back up of that folder anyway!)
    I then chose the re-install iTunes option and a pop-up box asked if I wanted to uninstall iTunes or repair it. I (obviously) chose repair and I'm pretty sure what happened was that the install process simply re-installed a damaged (or missing) file. It far too quick to be a fresh install. My library was intact.
    So my advice(for what it's worth) is take the re-install option and then repair option. I can't guarantee anything, but ...
    By the way, after I experienced a recent hard drive failure, I decided to invest in a 1TB external drive to back up my iTunes library and personal files because it's a much easier way of backing up than my previous method. Luckily, I only lost a small recent part of my library, but it taught me a lesson. Back up regurlarly, using a larger hard drive than you are using on your computer (which allows you to keep the most recent and +next most recent+ back-ups, and don't rely on Windows to do the backing up. Find a suitable backup piece of software. (My hard drive came with s/w built in.)

    If you have iPhoto '08 or older it is no longer supported for print products
    If you have iPhoto '09 or '11 reboot, launch iphoto and
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    If the preview s good and you can not order boot into safe mode, preview again and order

  • Help in defining organization structure with reference to new gl

    Hi Experts,
    I need some help in defining organization structure with reference to new GL. I have three legal entities spread across 17 locations. In each location there may be three legal company entities in operation. And in each company code there are 5 to 6 several product lines. I have defined 3 legal entities as 3 company codes, but my concern is how do i define these 17 locations as and how do i define these product lines. We do location wise reporting meaning if i take one location i draw P&L for all the 15 product lines of the combined 3 company codes. Like wise for we do individual location wise reporting. As ususal we do budgeting location wise for departments for each individual company code.
    I thought of using business area as locations, but i heard SAP doesnt support anymore on business due to new gl concept and moreover business area doesnt populate in all transactions. Can we use new gl concept like segments and so, i am sorry i am very new to New gl. Can the location wise combined reporting be done in consolidation or it can achieved in new gl
    Can somebody share their expertise on how to achieve this either my new gl or traditional gl.
    Thanks in advance
