Moved to a new computer PE will no longer support HD format

I just purchased a beast of a PC to handle my Samsung HD 1920 X 1080i video. I can plug it in and the system recognizes the card and also the unit, however when I go to the file to bring the data into PE it comes back with an error that the format is unsupported. It is coming in as an MP4. I've used the unit on my little HP Pavilion I didn't have any issues recognizing the format, but had issues editing the HD. I know there has to be some type of setting I'm missing. Can anyone help me here?

Most likely cause of this situation is the lack of an appropriate H.264 CODEC on your new machine. Your older computer probably has one, and PrE is able to use it.
With H.264, there are three popular H.264 CODEC's: Apple's (should install with later Apple QuickTime Players), Lead's and MainConcep's. Some Adobe users report issues with the Apple version (usually with Export), and have found that Lead's, or MainConcept's works better.
For some general background, this ARTICLE will offer some thoughts on CODEC's, which are installed at the system-level.
Good luck,
Hunt

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. (My new compute runs Windows 8.1) How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer? Is this possible or do I have to use the procedure of copying the catalog along with the photos to a back up hard drive and then restore them on the new computer?

The 'normal' procedure is to do a PSE organizer backup (not a copy or a backup from external tools) to an external drive, then a restore to the new location.
The advantage is that you have a backup of both catalog and media files and you don't have all disconnected files, which would happen with external backup tools. Also, if you restore with a more recent elements version, the catalog will be automatically updated to the new format.
The drawback in your situation is that you'll have either to overwrite all your files or restore to a custom location, creating a duplicate photo library (which supposes you have enough free space).
It would be possible to simply use the organizer in the old PC to move the catalog to a new 'custom' folder just under your C: root drive. The catalog would be accessible once the drive will be installed in the new PC. Then you would have all files 'disconnected' due to the fact that all your media files are now on a drive with a different letter. Reconnecting a whole library is a hard job with PSE6, less so with PSE11/PSE12.
If the idea of fiddling with the sqlite database with external sqlite manager tools is ok for you, I can describe the process more in detail. You only copy your catalog folder (as suggested above) to another location. Instead of trying the 'reconnection' way, you install the sqlite utility on the new computer. When the old drive is installed in the new computer, you simply edit a given record in the catalog database, catalog.psedb, and start the organizer with your copied catalog by simply double clicking the 'catalog.psedb' file.
Even if the last solution is much, much quicker, I would still create a new PSE backup : you have never too much safety .

Moving music to new computer via an external hard drive

I need to move my music library to my new laptop. On my old computer, my music was stored on an external hard drive. I want to use that hard drive to copy my music onto the new laptop. I've installed iTunes and used the default library for my music on the laptop. I think I just need to shut down iTunes, plug in the external drive to the laptop and then copy my music to the designated library. Will that work? Also - big question. How do I copy the artwork, playlists etc. from my old computer? Do I copy the xml and itl files from the C drive on the old computer and overlay these files on the laptop? Any help is greatly appreciated.

First of all, he has 30,000 songs, so moving things could be an issue
Ya, it will take a LONGGGG time to transfer that much stuff from the external to the internal, so that is part of the reason I suggest trying to run it off the external first like he does currently with his older computer. The other reason is that he likely has the database files, artwork folder, etc. on the internal and the media files on the external, so everything is not self contained in one place so a little more effort to consolidate, so better to do it one step at a time.

1. Will I be able to use a flash drive or something to copy the itl, xml, etc. from the C drive to the new laptop (this is the iTunes folder you were referring to, right?) If so, I copy the whole iTunes folder from the old computer to a flash drive, go to the laptop, rename the existing iTunes folder on the C Drive and then copy from the flash drive onto the laptop.
Yes, flash drive should work or even the external drive itself can be used. If the new computer has had iTunes already installed and run, then it should already have the same iTunes folder in place. Assuming the library is empty, just go ahead and delete the current version on the new computer and then copy in the iTunes folder off the thumb drive (from the old computer) into the same place as the one you just deleted.
In theory, when you open iTunes, it is going to go to that folder for the .itl database file and it should find the one from the old computer and open it up.

2. Plug external drive into the laptop
3. Start iTunes
4. Hopefully iTunes on the laptop will recognize the database - so at that point will it put it all his music onto the C drive of the laptop?
Correct. Ideally it should open up and his old library will pop up looking like it did on the old computer.
If the library comes up blank, then for some reason is didn't read the .itl file and may be looking somewhere else for it and will have generated a new .itl file where ever that is. If that is the case, you can close iTunes, then reopen it using those instructions (hold down the Shift key while starting iTunes from the Start menu I think it is). It should then ask you if you want to create a new library (no) or open an existing library (Yes!). You want to open existing and then point iTunes to the .itl file from the old computer that you copied into the new computer. It should open the library up correctly.
clemsongal88 wrote:
If not, all I have to do is make sure on the Advanced tab that it is pointed to the C drive and then do 'consolidate'?
No. That part is the next step.
What we did above is we got the new computer to open the old library and able to access it from the external hard drive. So at that point, you are running iTunes like the old computer, where the library is stored on the external and that database files on the internal.
The advanced tab setting and CONSOLIDATE commands were to address your second question about how to get it all back into the internal drive of the new computer so you no longer have to use the external drive. So after we have confirmed the library works, when run off the external, next step is to tell iTunes we want it to use the internal drive for now on and we set that in the preferences to change the location of the "iTunes Music folder" from the external drive back to the internal drive, typically putting it into the iTunes folder.
When you change this location, nothing will happen. All this does it sets up where iTunes will store any NEW/FUTURE additions to the library. So if you wanted you can leave all the stuff on the external, change the location to the internal, and new stuff added would now be put on the internal drive while anything on the external drive will remain where it is and will be accessed from there. So you can have iTunes access media from a number of locations if you want.
But in your case, you want to bring everything back together again. The CONSOLIDATE command does one simply thing. Anything not currently in the "iTunes Music folder" location, as set in the preferences, is copied into that location and the database updated so iTunes uses that copy now. So if you had stuff scattered all over different drives, they will now all be self contained in the single location. In your case, we are taking advantage of the consolidate command to make iTunes move the library from one location (the external) to another (the internal) and update the links.
As noted, Consolidate copies the files, so it is up to the user to remove the old copies if needed. Not a big deal for you since everything is on the external and you are just going to unplug it. But if you had tunes scattered all over your internal drive and then used CONSOLIDATE to bring them all into the single folder location, the original copies will remain scattered all over the internal drive, but now ignored by iTunes.

Upgrading & moving LR to new computer

Hello! I would love some help.
I have a question with a few question in it!
I have been using LR3 for 2 years and have one catalogue that has been on the same computer the whole time.
I just bought a new mac and want to do 3 things:
1. Get LR on to my new computer (yes I still have the cd and #)
2. Upgrade to the newest LR (5 I think)
3. Get my catalogue that I have been using for 2 years on to the new computer and have it work with LR 5
I want all these things to work together, I am hoping that I will be able to upgrade to LR5 and still be able to use my old catalogue.
So my question is what should I do first? Get LR on new computer, then upgrade, then transfer catalogue and will it all work like that.
I would love any and all help! -- thank you - Alibaba

Separate the two tasks.
Upgrade on the same computer, once you are sure everything is working, then move everything to the new computer; OR
Move eveything to the new computer in LR3, once you are sure everything is working, upgrade to LR5.
It probably doesn't matter which order you this.

Also, throughout this entire process, do not use this as an opportunity to rearrange files and folders for any reason, do not try to "clean up" your folders or make the more logical. Move them to a new computer yes, but other than that, no rearranging or moving files or folders from here to there.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, then you will need to rip the dvds again

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.

If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Transfer Purchases.

I´m going to change computer soon. And im worried that if i sync my iPhone to my new computer it will not import all the apps and music that i have or delete it. so could anyone tell me how it will do?
I have windows xp 32 bit and im running on the latest iTunes.
I will swap to windows 7 probaly 32 bit

How do you normally do ti when you switch computers?
Does Windows not have a method of transferring everything from one computer to another?
You can use your backup copy of your computer to copy everything.
For the itunes portion, you can type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
Windows should have a way to copy all doc/pics/files/contacts/calendars/etc.

Playlists not showing up after moving itunes to new computer

moved itunes to new computer and used an externa;l harddrive to move "iTunes" folder over. the most recent "setup" of itunes on old computer is not showing on new computer. For example "music" file size on external drive is 133GB - on new computer itunes, only 33GB. and, playlists have disapeared. any ideas?

See Make a split library portable for some background on moving the library successfully. You need the main iTunes library.itl file, its supporting files and the Album Artwork folder as well.
If you can find that data it should be possible to put everything together in the right shape and make it work.
Otherwise I have two scripts called ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats which may prove useful.

How do move my music from iPod to a new computer that will not recognize my last iTunes account

My school district installed new computers. The IT told us that our iTunes would not be effected. When I went into iTunes on my new computer, there was nothing there. Obviously I can't plug in my iPod or everything would be erased. They said that there is nothing they can do about this.
How do I move my music from this iPod to this new computer that will not recognize my last iTunes account? It appears that it was wiped out. I have close to 400 songs that I use for daily classes. The os is now Windows 7. The old one was Vista.
Thanks for your help.
