Moving Elements to a new PC

I have photoshop elements 11. I have done a full backup to an external hard drive. I have also backed up all my photos to this hard drive with a view to putting them also on the new PC.  Will Elements need to be able to find my photos since they won't be quite in the same folder on the new PC?

  • Moving elements 8 to new computer

    I'm moving Elements 8 to a new machine.  I have downloaded the files to the new machine.  I have deactivated Elements on my old computer.  And I have my  serial number from my adobe account.  But when I enter the serial number into the setup menu and click next I get a message about the serial number being invalid.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    For PSE the number comprises 24 digits commencing 1057 (never post your serial number in a public forum) so make sure you are using the correct code. Otherwise you need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
    1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
    2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
    3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”
    It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Have your serial number available. The agent can directly troubleshoot your system if you agree to activate the Adobe Connect add-on.

  • Moving elements 7 to new computer

    Purchased a new computer and am trying to move the catalog info.  Installed PSE& but can't figure out how to retrieve the catalog.  Saw where I could save the "catalog" to an external drive through the menu but it seemed to be a huge file - maybe 8gigs...when I only have about 20 igis of pictures all together....can anyone help?

    Thanks for all your help...I wasn't aware of the backup option within PSE in the first place and thought I'd just be copying the tags and categories...unfortunately, I took the opportunity to reorganize some of the pictures on my external hard drive before I copied them to the new computer...so I believe now my choices are to delete the pictures from the new computer, do the reorganization I want on my old computer first, then "reconnect" the pictures, then do the backup and restore, and then figure out which pictures were never cataloged in the first place on my old computer and transfer them over OR just start from scratch on the new computer...not sure which one is less involved:)

  • Running Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 is sluggish when moving between pictures on new iMac.

    Running Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 is sluggish when moving between pictures on new iMac. I have a standard 21" iMac with 8 gb of RAM, but it still sticks for up to 30 seconds when switching pictures in organizer or other functions.  How can I get it more responsive?

    How large is your HD & how much space do you have left?  Make sure you are using the latest version of APE. 
    You should also contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product.

  • Moving Elements 6 to a new computer

    Hello - I purchased Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh a few years ago, and have now purchased a new Apple computer.  How can I install Elements on the new computer?  I tried copying the program but (predictably) it does not allow this.  I've also looked for a download image on the Adobe web, but could not seem to find this either.
    Any suggestions would be welcomed.
    G

    You would need to install the set up again.Copying the files will not work here.
    Do you mean an installation program?   I don't think I have any installation program, nor can I find it on the Adobe website. 
    Any thoughts?

  • Save and reuse elements in a new Project

    Firstly, ^5 on Edge Reflow! I love it to bits!
    Will you guys allow to save elements to the assets library in order to use those elements in a new Project? (not a new page in the current project.)
    Guess similar to an predefined assets library where you drag and drop elements, but creating your own and saving it. Like Fireworks?
    Many Thanks!

    A lot of this depends on your sequence setting and your output device.  So thoughts:
    You want to get these elements to a standalone file just in case you re-install or upgrade CS4 and your project directory (and hence your template) gets erased or moved.
    If, for example, your output is a DVD or BD and the standard elements are, say a logo, you could use AME to create the MPEG or H.264 that you can then import into Encore as an asset everytime you do a project.  Saves rendering time.
    Otherwise, you use AME to create an export file --probably uncompressed, or at a minimum MS AVI with the corect aspect ratio and dimensions.
    What I have done with standard footage in a HDV sequence, is to export with AME to a 1440 x 1081i 1.33 MPEG2 file.  At the fundamental level the HDV file (removed from the streaming envelope used with tape) is MPEG2.  (I think I remember this correctly)

    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new Windows 8 computer (I recently upgraded my windows 7 computer where Photoshop was working fine on before).  It says the serial number is invalid.  Do older versionsnot work on Windows8, or do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first?

    You are allowed to have two activated installations.  If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?).  Talk to Adobe support thru chat.  They might be able to resolve this with you:

  • I have been asked to verify my account details. I have moved from UK to New Zealand. I cannot change my country from United Kingdom. When I tap on United Kingdom a red message appears telling me that I have unexpired video rentals, which is irrelevant!

    I have moved from UK to New Zealand. I need to change my address within iTunes because my credit card is now billed to me in NZ. I have an iPad. When I tap United Kingdom within the relevant change personal details section, instead of allowing me to switch countries, a red message comes up telling me that I have unexpired video rentals. This is correct, but it does not help me switch countries. Can anyone help?

    Nothing yet. I have changed my information back to the UK address and, though it is no longer correct, it now allows me to buy stuff. Not good!

  • Installing old Photoshop Elements on a new computer

    I have an old version of Photoshop Elements and a new MAC. It was previously installed on my PC which crashed. But the new MAC won't let me install this software - it tells me there is an error with the install.

    OK... so this is an OLD version - it is 4.0 (2006). My MAC is running OS X Version 10.8.2. The installation begins and some of the files begin installing then it quits and the message reads: "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    Thanks
