Moving PSE 7 From XP to Win 7

I have PSE 7 installed on Win XP. I have a new computer and want to install it under Win 7. I will "deactivate" the PSE install under XP and will re-install PSE 7 on the new computer under Win 7.
Two questions: 1) Will PSE 7 install and run okay under Win 7? Do I need "Compatibility Mode"?, 2) Do I just need to back up my current catalog (on the XP computer) and restore it to the PSE 7 running on the Win 7 computer?
Thanks for any and all help!

The generic issue of transferring files from Windows XP to Windows 7 is facilitated by use of the Belkin transfer cable:
http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=506029
Be sure that files are not hidden.
The cable comes with software on a disk for installation on the XP machine, the software is already installed on the 7 machine. The connection is USB to USB.
Make preparation for transfer of contacts in your e-mail client, and also the Favorites.
"My Documents" files end up in Documents library, My Pictures in Pictures library, etc.
The PE catalog should transfer - see link to John Ellis provided in a prior post.

  • Moving itunes library from win xp to win7

    I moved my files from a win xp machine to win 7 and I am having problems with downloading trailers on my pc.  On my old machine, I can download the trailers, but on the win 7 machine, I can click to watch the trailers, but am not able to download them.  Any suggestions what to do?

    Click here and follow the instructions. Since they're already in iTunes on the PC, don't concern yourself with the song's format.

  • Restore PSE 3 from a disc image to a re-formatted hard drive

    I have Windows XP SP3 etc; Photoshop Elements 3.01; Acronis True Image 11; a 200GB hard drive (for images, audio, etc), a 250 GB hard drive for video storage and 500GB extl hard drive for backup of both hard drives. Some time ago I made a PSE backup onto the extl drive and a couple of incremental backups. I also have a disc image of both drives on the extl drive. With backup disc free space getting scarce I made a new full PSE backup and then deleted the original backups. To cure a number of conflict problems (due to multiple copies of Windows on both hard drives!) I re-formatted C drive and reinstalled the software, including PSE 3. I tried to restore my images and PSE catalog by means of PSE Restore from the PSE Backup; but after a while it asked me for discs/backups 2 and 3 - the ones I had deleted. All of the images are restored onto the C drive, but only a few tags - no Collection detail. Using Aconis I can mount the original disc image of the C drive, and the jpeg/CR2 and catalog psa files are in the usual place. However, file paths are somewhat different between the mounted copy of the C drive and the present actual C drive. Can anybody please advise me how to proceed from here? Is it just a case of using PSE 3 to move the catalog psa file from the Acronis mounted image into the C drive? The problem seems similar to the various threads that I've read on transferring to a new computer with PSE 7, but I am reluctant to "move" (as distinct from "copy") files from the Acronis image without some advice. Can anybody please offer some advice?

    Hi dj_paige
    Thanks a lot for the answer to my problem.  Having resolved my problem with Acronis I then followed your instructions; the images and catalog with Collections etc are now fully restored.  Thanks again for your help.

  • I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

    I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library. 
    I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over.  Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over?  I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another.  Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?( My current account won't let me change my address to canada so my billing address for account is incorrect, making it impossible for me to buy anything). Will it affect what I am able to put on my device i.e. already downloaded apps, music, etc?

  • How do I move PSE 9 from desktop to laptop after I install new PSE11?

    Just received PSE 11,  want it on my desktop and then move PSE 9 from desktop to laptop?  It there a sequence that will prevent problems?

    First make a full backup in PSE 9 using the organizer's backup command, then install PSE 9 on the laptop and restore the backup there. If all is well, you can then deactivate PSE 9 on the desktop if you don't want it there anymore (not required, unless you've already installed it on a third computer). When you install PSE 11 it should find and update your catalog on that for you.
    If you don't use organizer, it doesn't really matter how you do it.

  • I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??

    I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
    Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
    My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
    Please help!

    Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

    Just moved my email from Entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly despite sending email as Rich Text.
    When adding in a small company logo to the signature, PC's / windows computers only receive signature and logo as attachments.
    I've tried all possible fixes I can find including getting a PC user to format the logo but no joy. Has anyone experienced this and any ideas on a fix gratefully received.

    Send it as html so the signature is an image source URL

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How do I delete a folder that I moved to Trash from my external backup drive when a virus was detected? Trash will not delete the folder.

    I have tried unsuccessfully to remove a folder from Trash. My anti-virus program (Sophos) detected a virus which had to  be manually removed. I tried (unsuccessfully) to find and remove the infected file. I moved the Folder from my external backup drive and placed it in Trash. Now I cannot get Trash to delete the folder. It asks me if I wish to delete "unlocked" or "all" items. Either selection does not delete the folder. I went to change the permissions to "read & write" and unlocked the folder, but it is still there. I tried to "move" the folder from Trash back to the external harddrive but it seems I can only "copy" it and not "move" it. I am afraid that by copying it, I will not have the folder in two locations (Trash & External HD).
    Would appreciate any suggestions and guidance on this. I hope that I have explained the problem clearly!
    Thank you!

    Before deleting it we should know more about this folder and its contents.
    If it is invected and is using other apps, or other apps are still using it, then it cannot be deleted in the normal manner.
    You might contact Sophos and ask them about it.
    If you are using TM or have a backup of your system before the infection occurred, then you can delete the item(s) in Trash, but there is the possiblity of system corruption and the need for a reinstall, if any of these files are necessary for the OS to work properly, even though they are infected.
    Sophos may not have been able to remove the infection from inside a file which is why they suggested manual removal.
    You might consider downloading and running ClamXav first and see if it can't do better than Sophos.
    All that being said, you can always remove the contents of the Trash using the terminal. Usually as administrator, or in some cases as root (su). Unless you are very familiar with the terminal I do not suggest doing this without some study.

  • HT203167 Moved iTunes library from one computer to another using external hard drive.  Cannot play many files.  Says they are missing but locates them in an archive file but still won't play them.  Are the files themselves part of the .itl files?

    Moved iTunes library from old computer (PC Windows 7) to new (PC Window 8) using external hard drive.  Library listing shows all music but can only play a fraction of it.  On the ones it cannot play it asks to locate, then refers to an archived version (an .itl file), and still cannot play them.  Do I just need to copy the archived .itl over, or is that not where the actual media are (do the actual media files even exist on the new computer?)?  Any advice or information on this would be helpful.

    *Also...is there any way I can filter out all the tracks with the ! so I can delete the unplaying copies as they're taking up room in my iTunes? I know how to find duplicates, but then I have to go and delete each one individually...*
    *Thank you!*

  • Moving a drive from a NAS200 Question

    Im thinking of moving from a NAS200 to one of the newer models with Gigabit. Can I move the drives from the NAS200 to the newer models without having to reformat?

    Solved!

    Hi Jorge,
    Moving a drive from NAS200 to NMH will reformat the drive because they are using a different file system. You should back-up your data first before moving the drive. Check out this linksys article: KB17899 - Swapping Hard Disk Drives between NAS200 and NMH Series Media Hub.
    Hope this helps.
