Moving from PSE12 to LR...where are my keyword tags?

I was a heavy user of keyword tags in PSE...including nested tags and setting up my own categories. When I "upgraded" my PSE catalog to LR, many of the PSE tags didn't show up in LR. Also, for some of the tags that did show up they pointed to only a few of the images that the tag pointed to in PSE.
Any ideas? Help will be appreciated.

OK..here's where we are----
File>New Catalog
navigated to drive where I want the catalog
set u new folder "New LR Catalog"
highlighted is
clicked on OPEN
"nothing matches your search
closed that dialog
File>Upgrade
correctly pointing to PSE catalog location
pressed CHANGE on LR catalog destination (which of course was pointed to
previous cat)
navigated to folder set up above
highlighted it
OPEN.....said no matches for search
SAVE....ditto
LR cat location still on original location
..........thanks for your help!!!!!

Photos are stored in your home folder (~pictures).

Transferring photos from ipad2 to mac - where are photos?

I took my ipad2 on vacation and used the camera connection kit (CCK?) to download my SD cards. (many people, many cameras)
I used iPhoto to transfer my photos to my mac but can't find them anywhere except within iPhoto.
On my pc, the photos are treated as individual files that you can move around, rearrange and duplicate.
Where are the individual photos on my mac? Finder shows the images in iPhoto Library, but I can't manipulate it at all.

You can export them out of iPhoto.

Where did my keyword tags go?

How can I retrieve the keyword tags that did not transfer from my old computer to my new one? They people are listed under "People" but the categoriy and sub-catagories are not listed in the right keyword sidebar.

Neale, sorry, I didn't tell you I have PSE 11. I have a complete
catalog backup of PSE 11 on an external drive. I had a technician do
the transfer of everything from my old computer to the new; the old one
is gone. All the tags came over into the right sidebar except People. I
had created subcategories "Family" and "Friends" under "People." Under
People in the top menu line (Media, People, Places, Events) the people
are all listed, with their tags, including People -- no Family, no
Friends -- so I know they are still tagged, just would like to have the
People listing in the right sidebar like everything else.
Would I have any luck restoring the entire catalog from the backup off
the old computer and ending up with all the tags (for 13,000+ photos)
showing up in the sidebar? Would I lose the 37 photos and 3 videos
taken since the date of the backup?
I'm not very knowledgeable about Photoshop. But since People is one of
its built-in tags, like Places and Events, I don't know how I lost it.
Thanks so much for your response and any additional help you can give.

WHERE ARE FILES FROM MIGRATION OF OFFICE FROM OLD WINDOWS COMPUTER, WHERE ARE FILES FROM MIGRATION OF OFFICE FROM OLD WINDOWS COMPUTER

I just followed directions of migration of my documents and Outlook from my Dell to my new iMac. Now, I can't find the files.

Refer to OS X Lion: About Windows Migration Assistant for general info about the procedure. Where the files end up depend on if you migrated your PC files when you first turned on the Mac or later, after you created its first user account. (Click on the appropriate section at the bottom of the 'about' article for more about that.)
It sounds like you did the migration later & the files are now in the home folder of another user account.

Restored from iCloud backup but where are my contacts

I have lost some of my contacts and restored it from iCloud backup and it still didn't help, how can I get my contacts back? I have had contacts on in the ocotillo settings and my contacts are still missing... Also if I pick a further back backup then I will loss my current data, what should I do?

Were you syncing your contacts with iCloud? If so, go to icloud.com on your computer and see if they are still there. If they are, sign into the same iCloud account on your phone in Settings>iCloud, then turn Contacts syncing to On, and if prompted, choose Merge.

New Computer.... Where are my Keywords, etc.?

My old OS got really sick and needed to be "renewed". I had to install a new HDD with a new OS, etc. I was on Windows XP and the new OS is Vista.
This all required a fresh install... basically no old application files were transferred.... The old HDD is still intact and useable..... but not its OS.
I installed LR2.7, and it works OK... but I do not know where to find thinngs like my Keywords files, etc.
I have read the Tech Note on where the catalog and preferences is located, etc.. but I am not so sure about any other files that were on my old HDD.
Can someone help me know what files need to be moved, find the old files, and tell me where to put them in my new OS?
Thanks
Frank

They are wherever you put them.
Did you copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one?

Where are my keywords stored?

I have a lot of photos and have chosen to split them up into separate iPhoto libraries using iPhoto buddy.
So I wanted to create a new, blank library for 2008, but noticed that none of my own Keywords were there. I assumed that Keywords were a common preference for iPhoto, so the same keywords would be available for all libraries, but apparently not. So which file can I copy from the existing libraries and place into my newly created 2008 library to get those same Keywords?

osmanthus
The keywords are stored in the library.iphoto file, which is the main db file. That file is unique to each library so you cannot use it in different libraries.
The best I can suggest is add ALL your keywords to a single pic, then download iPhoto Library Manager and use it to copy that pic to the new library. This will bring all the associated metadata - including keywords - to the new library with it. iPhoto Library Manager is the only way to move pics and associated metadata between libraries.

Where are edits & keywords of my copies?

After I edit and keyword my photos I copy them, and the current catalog, onto two other drives using Windows Explorer. When I import them into LR there's no edits or keywords.
Why doesn't this work? If my hard drive crashes I want RAW backups with all my edits intact. How do I do this?

The edits and keywords exist in the catalog.
If you import the images into a new catalog, you left behind al the edits and keywords in the old catalog.
You can copy all that data from one catalog to another by "export as catalog" and "import as catalog".
Copying the images and catalog is a good way to make backups. You just need to make sure that you do the copy and restore in such a way that you do not lose the relationship between the image files and the Lightroom catalog.

Where are printer profiles stored in 10.9.5?

I have replaced my old, large format printer and want to discard its old printer profiles from the OS. Where are these stored? I'm using Photoshop CS5 with a (new) Canon iPF6400 printer. Can I just drag these old profiles to the Trash or is there some other procedure I need to use? Thanks.

Dragging the old profiles to the trash is all you need to do to get rid of them. They can be in a few places.
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles is the normal location. You can also check the Profiles folder of your user account, they but typically shouldn't be there. They can also be buried in with the print drivers. And those can be difficult to find.
The names of the profiles in the folders aren't what shows up in your apps. So a very vaguely named profile could be one of the ones you're looking for. To check, double click any profile you're not sure of to open it in the ColorSync Utility. Click the second line, Localized Description String. If there's another line named Apple multi-localized description strings, click that one to see what it says. One or the other will be what appears in your lists. For example:
Localized description strings for this profile simply says "Display" in its field below. However, nothing in ColorSync shows up by that name. "CG243W" under Apple multi-localized description strings is what gets used.
I mention this only because some profile names from the desktop are rather meaningless, but those are somewhat rare. Usually, the name is pretty obvious.
So if you can't find the old profiles in the main Library folder, then they're likely in with the printer drivers. Go to the /Library/Printers folder. If your old printer was an Epson for example, and you no longer have any Epson printers, you can toss the entire folder named Epson within the Printers folder if you want to. Otherwise, you have to start digging through the folder of each make to locate them. For example:
In this case, I would look through Epson, Lexmark and Xerox (I already know SII is just a label printer and there won't be any profiles in there). For our Epson 4900, one of the subfolders in the Epson folder was plainly and conveniently named ICCProfiles. All I had to do was empty it. For our now sold Stylus Pro 3800, the profiles were well hidden in a file name xxxx.plugin (the xxxx being whatever its name was). You have to right click on the plugin package and choose to show the contents. Then go through any folders within that and see if the profiles are within that .plugin file.
Yes, it can be much more difficult to find them than it should. So make sure you have a full backup of your system before you start doing this kind of digging.

CAN YOU COPY KEYWORD TAGGING HIERARCHY FROM ONE CATALOG TO ANOTHER?

I use PSE 9 and I HAVE SO MANY PICTURES THAT THE ORGANIZER RUNS SLOW. I want to split into 2 or 3 catalogs and use the same keyword tagging hierarchy in each catalog. I know how to write the tags to the picture files but when I do that and then load the split of pictures into a new catalog, all the tags are alpha without the the sub-catagory hierarchy that I'd set up in the original catalog. Can I get the same tagging in each catalog and/or start a new catalog that has the same keyword tag hierarchy?

In your old catalog:
Show the Keyword Tags panel.
Click the green plus sign.
Choose "Save Keyword Tags to File".
In your new catalog, before importing any photos, repeat steps 1 & 2, then choose "From File". That will import your keyword tags with the hierarchy intact.
