Moving PSE 9 to a new computer

I am changing computers and plan to reinstall my elements 9 onto the new one.  Before I uninstall the program off the old computer is there a way to save my "albums" and "tags"?

  • I moved by iTunes files to an external drive because I was changing computers. I then moved the files to the new computer. My iPod is not linking with the files on the computer.  What can I do?

    I moved my iTunes files from my old computer to an external hard drive.  I then moved those files to the new computer. My computer and iPad are not linking up (recognizing each other?).  I installed the latest version of iTunes onto the new computer to see if that would help.  It did not--I got the message that an iPad can only be linked up with one computer and the new download would not work with this iPod.  So the iTunes' library and my iPod are not connecting, and I have no way of installing or removing new songs onto my iPad.  What should I do to correct this?

    Sorry, I had a typo.  The last sentence should have read "iPod" (iPad):  So the iTunes' library and my iPod are not connecting, and I have no way of installing or removing new songs onto my iPod.  What should I do to correct this?

    I wish to transfer PSE 7 to my new computer.  I no longer have the activation code. How can I accomplish this?

    If you have registered your software then please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW for information on how to locate your serial number.  You will also need access to the installation files to install on your new computer.

    Moving your iTunes library to a new computer

  • I have moved my itunes to a  new computer and now my ipod will lnot sync with new line up

    i have moved mu itunes to a new computer and my ipod will not sync with new music.

    If you are using automatic syncing, you may need to set up the iPod's Music tab in iTunes.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Select Music there.  This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync the iPod with songs.  Sync Music is checkmarked for automatic syncing.
    If your entire iTunes music library can fit on the nano, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then, create your selection of songs below.  For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes.  Put ALL songs you want on the iPod on that playlist, including songs from the newly added music.  Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark that new playlist under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, your selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the iPod, replacing its current content.  Going forward, any changes that are related to the Music tab settings sync automatically when you connect the iPod, or when you click Sync.  So, if there is a playlist with your "iPod songs," you can just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes at the next opportunity.

  • How to move PSE 8 to my new computer?

    So i just got a new computer and would like to move my old PSE 8 from my laptop over here so i could continue using it as i have previously. (I have never moved it to another device from that old laptop as the program came already installed to it when i bought it.)
    However i've encountered problems as how to do this correctly, i tried finding download links for the PSE 8 with no succes.
    After that i tried moving the entire folder where PSE 8 was located on my old computer but when i try to start the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe after entering the country/region i get this message:
    Licensing for this product has stopped working.
    This product has has encountered a problem which requires that you restart your computer before it can be launched.
    If you continue to see this message after restarting your computer, please contact either your IT administrator or Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
    Error: 6

    I tried restarting with no succes. After that i went and downloaded the Adobe License Recover program and completed all the steps and still got no results.

    That's too bad, because you've made a bit more work for yourself by doing that. Now you will need to download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    and then go around and manually remove all the bits you can find. Then you can download PSE 8 here and install it from scratch:

  • Downloaded pse 4.0 to new computer, but it won't let me burn a cd?

    Got a new computer with windows 7, installed PSE 4.0, it will let me edit the photos, but I can't burn or copy the phonots to a CD.

    Hi,
    I don't think PSE 4 is Win 7 compatible. This could be a reason for some anomalies.

  • Installing PSE 9 on my new Computer

    Hi All,
    I had purchased and installed Elements 7 on my PC and then I upgraded through the Adobe site to Elements 9.  So I have an actual installation disk for 7 but not for 9.  I have a serial number for my purchase of 9.
    I recently bought an IMac and I would like to install 9 on my new computer.  However I only have the disk for 7 but I paid for the upgrade to 9 on my original PC.
    How do I install Elements 9 on my new computer without an installation disk??
    Thanks,
    Cristina M.

    Well, I'm afraid you'll have to buy PSE again. The thing is that if you'd bought the disc version of PSE 9 you would have gotten a serial number that works on both platforms, but with your download serial number only works in Windows. I don't know why adobe does it that way, but they do, so it doesn't matter about installation media--your serial number won't work. Downloads are always tied to one platform, either mac or windows, unlike the boxed versions.
    Adobe does offer a crossgrade, but for PSE that isn't sensible, since they always send the most recent version and charge the upgrade fee, and for PSE you can find the full boxed version most of the time for less than Adobe charges for the upgrade.

  • LR 3.6 and PSE 6.0 To New Computer

    I just purchased a Windows 8 computer to replace my old Windows XP computer, on which i have Lightroom 3.6 and Photoshop Elements 6.0.  My photos are on an external drive and will remain there after I install LR and PSE on my new computer.  My question is which of LR or PSE I should install first on my new computer.  (Does it matter?)  I plan to continue to use LR as the primary program for catalog, developing, exporting, etc., with PSE used for selective adjustments to some photos only.

    I don't know that it really matters. However, I would install Photoshop Elements first. Then, when you install Lightroom, it will be easy to choose it as your external editor.

  • N manually moving Safari data over to new computer, must I move the Safari plist?

    Old computer is too old to use Migration Assistant, and since I'm moving hardly any of the old applications from 10.4 I'm getting ready to move all my data manually via Firewire.  Should I take or leave the old plist?

    You only need .plist files for applications you will transfer over to the new computer.
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate.  Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
      1. Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
      2. Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
      3. All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
      4. Contextual Menu Items
      5. Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
      6. Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius  work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard.  The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.  Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

      6. Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
      7. OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.  The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode.  It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
      1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
      2. Backup your data.  This is vitally important in case you make a mistake
          or there's some other problem.
      3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
      4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
      5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and
           registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your
           desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
      a. MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch,
          Late 2008) - What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
      b. MacBook Air - Migration Tips and Tricks;
      c. MacBook Air - Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and
          wireless 802.11n networks.
    Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
    Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the  Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

  • After moving my music to a new computer, some of it is not able to be authorized

    I've moved my music to my wife's computer (a Mac) under my own login, but now I've lost approximately 130 songs.  I can see them, but when I try to play them or put them on my iPhone the computer gives me a message that says I have to authorize that song on this computer.  When I try to authorize the computer, it tells me that the computer is already one of my authorized computers, but still doesn't give me permission to play my own music.  This is MY music - stuff I've purchased from the itunes store, but now I'm not able to play it - and $130 or more worth of music is alot to lose.  Please help!

    On the new computer launch iTunes.
    From the iTunes menu bar (top of your screen) click Store > Authorize This Computer
    Now try syncing your iPod.

  • Keyword Tags lost after loading PSE and photos on new computer

    I purchased a new Wondows 7 computer and loaded PSE 8 which was running on my old computer.  I had transferred all data from old computer using a Belkin Data Transfer Cable.  I opened my PSE 8 and photos were there but none of the Keyword Tags assigned to the pictures were there. So I deleted those pictures and transferred all my pictures using the Backup Catalogue selection under file and restored the pix on my new computer using the Restore Backup from file.  Still no Keyword Tags.  What do I need to do to get the tags?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.  I did restore to new location, drive J, and chose "maintain folder structure".  So, the catalog and a complete set of my photos was copied to the new external drive J. However, the catalog is still linked to the original set of my photos that are still on drive M. Any ideas?

  • HT204318 moving itunes library to a new computer with different partition letters

    Want to move my itunes library to a different computer (actually my older computer, which will be a dedicated itunes box). I know how to do it, except for one thing - am not sure how it affects things that in its new home it will be on partition 'D' rather than 'E' where it is now.  Can I still just copy everything over (via external drive) or will everything be left with the wrong drive letter?

    As long as you've moved the complete library (database, media folders, artwork, ...), and its in the "standard" layout where:
    the iTunes Media folder is in the same folder that contains the database file (iTunes Library.itl), and
    all your media files are contained within the hierarchy of folders under iTunes Media
    you're fine.  First time you run after the change of drive letters, or moving the drive containing to another computer, hold down SHIFT while you start iTunes; when you get this prompt:
    click on Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes library folder on the drive holding the library, select the iTunes Library.itl file and click Open.
