Moving computer in PSE 7

We moved our files to a new computer but did not back up our catalog in PSE. Now we can't access the pictures on the new pc, but files are all there. Any suggestions on what we can do?
Thanks

Ideally you should have used the backup and restore process available within Organizer, starting on the old computer. See this link for further information relating to PSE6 and later versions:

Upgrading computer and PSE. If I backup my catalogs in PSE6 can I restore with PSE12?

I am upgrading computer and PSE. Old computer XP. New computer Win7 64 bit. If I backup with PSE6 on the old machine, can I restore the catalog and images on the new computer with PSE12? Or do I need to install PSE6 on the new machine, restore the backup, then start PSE12 and let it do the conversion? Thanks.

You should be able to restore it in working order, providing an oops doesn't happen. If an oops happens, contact Microsoft to see if you can get your activation code from them.

And my second question, would it be best to stay at Snow Leopard for me, or should I upgrade my OS?
While Apple hasn't officially stated that they are no longer supporting Snow Leopard, it has been a long time since there was an OS update.
One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install Mavericks, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

Installed PSE 13 on new computer with PSE 11

I used Laplink PC Mover to move contents of my old computer to a new computer. That included PSE 11. When I tried to open PSE 11, it didn't open. Decided to "upgrade" to PSE 13. I bought and downloaded and installed PSE 13. Organizer in PSE 13 opens, but shows no photos, albums, people, tags, etc. All the pictures transferred. I can find them using explorer. They don't show up in Organizer, and I don't want to lose the tags, captions, etc.
It ought to be easier.
Thanks for your help.
After getting PSE 13 to work, should I or can I remove PSE 11?
Tried chatting with Adobe, but was receiving "we are still assisting other customers, thank you for your patience" for over an hour. Gave up.

Neither Laplink nor Adobe make this clear when moving to a new computer. It should be easier.
There is practically one post every day about the migration process of the catalogs in this forum.
On the other hand, there is a link on the welcome page of the present Elements forum.
But...
It is not mentionned in the faq page. (If Adobe employees browse this discussion...)
The real problem is that it's not a question people ask when learning the program and reading help files and tutorials. Only when they need to migrate.
So what happens when it's time to migrate?
- those with scarce knowledge about computers will ask in this forum or search for solutions on the Web.
- those who are at ease with computers will think they know... and fall into the trap that restoring on a different drive will not work and create disconnected files.
What do you think?

Help Desperately Needed to restore Photoshop 10 catalog to Windows 8 computer and PSE 11

I am trying to backup my Photoshop Elements 10 catalog from my old computer running Windows 7 and restore to my new computer running Windows 8 and Photoshop Elements 11. I reconnected missing files, optimized and repaired the catalog, then repaired and re-indexed visual similarity date. I backed up to the hard drive on the old computer, copied the files to the external hard drive, copies the files from the external hard drive to the desktop of the new computer. From there I opened PSE 11 organizer and tried to restore. When the restore is almost complete I get the following error: "error encountered while restoring. It's recommended that you contact the disc drive manufacturer and upgrade to the latest available firmware for your specific disc drive before trying again.". I also had disabled the virus protection on both computers. I have contacted the external hard drive manufacturer and they are confident the problem is not with the external hard drive. I have spent countless hours on chat with Adobe Technical Chat. I have done everything that has been suggested to fix the problem and I still get the same error message. They referred me to their 800 number for paid technical support and I was on hold for a total of 4 1/2 hours and after being trransferred several times no one came back on the line to help. I have an open case with them and they still have not returned my calls. I even tried using the same backup catalog file and restored to another PC running Windows 7 (and Elements 10) and it worked. Why can't I restore the catalog to Windows 8? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Moving computer - what happens to my app data?

I'm moving from a PC to an iMac - not sure that's particularly relevant. Basically I want to sync my iPod touch to a new computer.
I'm not too bothered about music. My main concern is that i really dont want to lose my application data - I've selected the "Transfer Purchases" options, so I think my new computer now "owns" the purchases. However I'm still not actually syncing the apps - if I check the box, I get told "All existing applications and their data on the iPod "ipod name" will be replaced with applications from this iTunes library.
So how can I transfer the data too?
A completely different question... if I eventually upgrade from my iPod to an iPhone, can I then move my purchased applications *and data* to that?
TIA. Ian.

The application data is not stored with the applications. It is included in the iPod backup. If you restore your iPod from the backup, the application data is restored. When you upgrade to an Phone, you can restore it from your iPod's backup and transfer the data.

Moving My Catalog PSE 13

Ok I hope someone can assist me. So I used the Move/Copy to another drive I moved all of my pictures using this command and now I have a mess. I use to have all of pictures neatly tucked away in individual folders. I needed to free up some space on my hard drive. Now all of my photos or at least most of them moved to the external hard drive but now I don't have any folders and there still are many pictures still remaining on Hard Drive. To make matters worse I thought I would do a back to the same external drive but I forgot to make a separate folder and now I have a mess. If anyone has a solution for this it would be greatly appreciated.

The command 'Copy/move' is similar the 'Export' command. It works on individual files, not on folder trees or branches. The result always gets into the folder you have chosen.
What you want to do is to 'move' a folder tree or a part of it to another location. It's not moving the catalog (the database where the details and location on the drive of the pictures are kept) it's moving the pictures themselves while keeping their structure in the Explorer/Finder. I'd call that moving a 'library' or part of a library.
Keep in mind that 'moving' is only an image, a metaphor in computer language. You really first Copy something somewhere, then you Delete the original files.
How to do this library move ? If you do it from the Explorer/Finder by drag and drop or the menu, that seems easy, but the catalog is not updated, so you'll have to 'reconnect' your files. If you do it by small batches, that can work well.
It's recommended to do it from the Organizer itself. In the left folders panel, depending on the Elements version, you show the folder tree just like in the explorer/finder. You drag and drop, and the Organizer updates the path for the files in the catalog database.

To make matters worse I thought I would do a back to the same external drive but I forgot to make a separate folder and now I have a mess. If anyone has a solution for this it would be greatly appreciated.
You should deal with that problem first. Your backup has stored a number of copies of your files in a wrong folder, and you want to delete them. Most of those files begin by B00... It's relatively easy to find them and to delete them. That should recover most of the space on your drive.
The problem you have left now is that you have lost your folder tree structure. If you had no backup, there is no way to restore it exactly. It's possible to use other data in the catalog to create a new folder structure based on dates (recorded from exif in the picture files), on albums or themes like events or places. You select pictures corresponding to a specific empty folder and you move them there.
My advice is to keep the new structure simple since that does not add any advantage to using the catalog and its virtual organization of categories and keywords.

Upgraded computer and PSE... where are old tags?

I recently got a new computer. I also changed OS from Windows 7 32bit to Windows 7 64bit which required re-formating my drive. I made a backup copy of everything. After installing the new OS, I upgranded from PSE 8 to PSE 9. I tried importing my pictures to the Organizer. It told me that my pictures were tagged and did I want to also bring in those tags. I said YES. However, after importing the pictures, only a fraction of the tags appeared. I have hundreds of pictures and dozens of tags. All the pictures are there but not the tags. Are the tags kept in a specific file that I can just move to the new folder? How do I recover all of the tags?

I made a backup copy of everything.
If you made a copy of the PSE Catalog file *.pse8db, then you need to find that on the old computer, move it to the new computer and then double-click on it. For this to work, your photos have to be in the exact same location on the new computer as they were in on the old computer.

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

Moving Files in PSE 9

I am using PSE 9 with Windows XP. I dragged files in Media Browser (Folder View) from the computer hard drive to an external hard drive. Now the photos are displayed but when trying to select a photo I get the message "Searching for Missing File.
How can I fix this so PSE 9 recognizes photo locations as being on the external hard drive?

Highlighting a batch of images and dragging from the PSE9 Media Browser to a folder in the left hand panel, located on external HDD works fine although I’m using Vista and Windows 7 and automatically invokes the elements Move procedure.
Make sure the new folder has a blue icon to indicate it is being managed in Organizer. If not right click on the folder and choose Import to Organizer.

Pathway problem when moving files in PSE

I use PSE 6.0 and recently had to reload my operating system (OS). After reloading my OS I reinstalled PSE 6.0 and restored my catalog to a new location on my hard drive. I had my catalog backed up onto DVD's. The restore worked and I went to link missing photos, b/c I did the PSE 'no no' and moved files outside of the PSE program. It appeared that the missing links were reconnected. I started to spot-check some of the file property locations and noticed that many of the photo properties had the restore location that I restored the catalog to. I did not want to keep the photo in this location, so I went to move these folders and files to my external drive where I keep my pictures (I have two drives: one for video and one for photos). When I try to move the files in PSE to my external drive it moves them to my external video drive instead. The problem is that when I follow the pathway it moved them to, I do not have this link on my video drive. The pathway, however, is identical to my photo pathway. For example. I have a picture with the property of C:/Documents and Settings/Amy/My Documents/Restore Adobe PSE 100111/My Picture Downloads/Pella Trip. I tried to move this file to my external K drive (which is my photo drive). In PSE I click on file then move then browse and moved the file to K:Micah's camera photos/2011/May/2011/05 07. In PSE when I go to verify that the file was moved to that drive, instead in properties it tells me that the file location is M (my video external drive) and lists the pathway as M:Micah's camera photos/2011/May/2011/05 07. When I go to START and click on that external drive to follow the pathway to find the photo, it is not on M. M does not even have the pathway to follow as I do not even have M:Micah's camera in that location. I have tried disconnecting my external drive M and tried to save the file from the C location to my K drive and then the file becomes an offline file and I have another problem. So then I tried to reconnect that particular file listed on M but since it's not really on M, I follow the K pathway name and find the file where I requested it to be saved which was K:Micah's camera photos/2011/May/2011/05 07. When I find the file and click on reconnect I get the message that the file already exists in the catalog. Then in the dialog box it says M:Micha's camera photos/2011/May/2011/05 07 was not connected to K:Micah's camera photos/2011/May/2011/05 07. When I click on ok to exit the dialog box my photo is then missing. I then can't do anything with it. The pathway in PSE won't move it b/c I can't link it. It says the file is on my M drive, but it really isn't. I don't know what to do next. I would like to move my photo files/folders from C (my hard drive) to K (my external photo drive). I do not know why PSE is moving them to M (my video drive) which doesn't take me to that file. I have searched the forums but have found no problems similar to this. I'm not sure what to do to fix this. Sorry this got so long...Can anyone help me?

User and Computer memberships are missing after moving computer and user objects using ADMT

Hi to everybody.
Source domain Windows 2003. Destination domain Windows 2008. I use ADMT 3.2
I have noticed 2 issues:
1. After migrating users, membership to all Bultin domain groups, is lost. Migration of custom groups is completed without any problems prior to start migrating users.
a. Example 1: user in source domain belongs to Domain Admins, Domain Users and a custom Domain group with the name Test. After moving the user, the membership is as follow: Domain Users and Test! And the worst of all
is that I believe that Domain users membership was not produced by the migration but from the AD mechanism that automatically gives every new user the Domain Users membership. Look at example 2.
b. Example 2:user in source domain belongs only to the Domain group with the name Test. After moving the user, the membership is as follow: Domain Users and Test!
2. After migrating a computer account from source domain to destination domain I have noticed in the "Local Users and Groups" that the Domain Admins membership in the Administrators group is missing.
Any ideas? I think I am missing something fundamental here.
Thank you all in advance.

additionally, from the migration log I see the following
WRN1:7372 ADMT does not process BUILTIN accounts or change the membership of BUILTIN groups (Administrators,
etc.).
there is 1 line of the above WRN for each builtin group that the user belongs in the source domain. This
means that there I have to do this membership update manually? And what if I have 1500 users and 300 groups?

Moved computer location. ca not get elemnts 11 only photo shop. lost progect

I moved our computer location. Now I can not get premiere elements 11. I only get my photo shop. HELP please

barbe1957
Please explain "no".
Does that mean the Premiere Elements 11 did not open to the double click of the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file?
If not, then we are going to try renaming just the SLCache Folder as described in the following Premiere Elements blog post
which should be applicable to versions 11 and 12.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Premiere Elements 12 Editor Will Not Open
Just do Way 2/Step 2.
If that does not work, we will go for deleting the Premiere Elements 11 settings file.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 12.0 Folder
in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Options Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
What you are reporting should not be happening as a result of moving the computer from one outlet to another. Were you having any problems with the computer before you decided to change its location?
Thanks.

Moved computer to new desk; now can't connect to internet or network

I moved a computer to another office down the hall and now it won't connect to the internet or office network. Two other computers connected using the same ethernet plug and wire. Repaired permissions. Tried manually entering IP and using DHCP. What else should I try?

I'm no expert but maybe try adding a new location.
Network preferances -> location drop down -> new location
Then try manually entering all the information required.
Just a wild guess...

Cannot open any of my music on itunes...moved computer to new area in house

itunes was created originally on computer A with an added external drive as backup.... have new computer now(B) ... hooked external drive to (B)...... computer (A) moved to secondary position on wired router......can see my itunes library but cannot access any tunes!!!! Do I need to refer back to external drive? Tunes should be available here on (A) and accessible from (B) and other laptops/ipad connected to this Wifi....what am I doing wrong?

Your music will only be where you put it.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy. Have you failed to do this?
If for some reason you have failed to back up, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

Hi,
Based on the specs of the LG unit:
(a) SCART to VGA: Most likely the signal frequency on VGA port of a normal computer monitor does not match the signal frequency of the SCART port therefore you can't get the pictures/images.
(b) SCART to DVI: you need more than just a cable, you need a converter because SCART uses analog signals and DVI use digital signals.
