Photo Elements 13 Organizer dumped all catalogue data and failed to restore backup
16 December 2014, Photo Elements Organizer running on i7 and windows 7 Pro. All Adobe data base info had failed in that all that was visible in organizer was music files, (mp3). Attempted to reload data from file menu options, restore from a backup etc all failed. Had to re install the software. Editor still functioned OK. Possible issue may have been a windows update which effected Adobe's software? Reinstalled from CD, updated and reloaded images and the software is now functioning. However this database corruption has dented the users confidence in the security of the Organizer database some 3K+ images. Any possible remedies to make sure this does not happen again would be welcome.
From your description, there is not much we can do to help you as other Organizer users. The first thing which comes to mind is that when you can see only a type of file (music, video...), chances are that you have inadvertently set the organizer to show only that type of file (another post on the same subject today : How do I find missing .mov files in Organizer?).
After all you have attempted, we'll never know if that was the case.
More details would be helpful to know why you were not able to restore your backup (was it from the Organizer or another software?)
My personal guess is that the Windows update has nothing to do with your problems and that there has been no database corruption; the real problem is elsewhere.
If you give us more details, we'll be happy to help you.

I have a school ipad with iCloud using a different ID (my school email address) . I am leaving and want to buy my own ipad and transfer all my data and docs to my personal iCloud account but don't know how to do this without deleting all data and photos?
Heya Katie!!
So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!! -

How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?
I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
"Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I just got a new iPhone and i set up iCloud on my girlfriend's account. To change it on settings it says delete account. Will this delete her all her data and back up data for iCloud on her iPhone and iPad? Can i change it without deleting it? Please help.
Delete the account on your phone. This will not delete any data on her phone or iPad, or data stored in iCloud.

I am wondering if there's anything special I need to do to make sure all my data and settings on my 3G iOS 4.2.1 phone will be transferrable to my new 4G or 4S iOS 5 phone. Is it just do a backup and transfer it to the new handset or something else given the different OS? I really need to keep as much of the data as possible as this is a work phone but also has a lot of personal data I'd like to have access to post-handset change.

How do I transfer all my data and applications to my new iPad from my old one ?
How do I transfer all my data and applications to my new iPad from my old one ?
This may also be useful. Although backing up and restoring via iCloud works, doing it via iTunes may be better, and here's why:
Via iCloud your actual apps are not backed up, just a record of the fact that you legally own them. When you restore, your new device knows it's OK to download and install them again from the App Store. This is fine for all apps that are still available, but for those that have been removed from the App Store you're going to be without them.
It is also a lot faster to transfer a ton of apps from iTunes via the cable than to download them all over wifi.
Another advantage of doing it via iTunes is that all your network/wifi settings and passwords will be included in the backup/restore process. (Make sure you have selected "encrypted backup" for this to happen.) This way you will not need to mess around typing them all in again.
I've tried both methods and would definitely recommend going "old school" via iTunes for these reasons. Hope this helps.
