Problem updating catalog, from non-working Elements 8, to vs. 13.

I purchased and downloaded Photoshop Elements 13, Windows; upgrading from vs. 8. Can't update the Catalog file; got error message. Previous version of Elements will no longer open; that's why I bought new version.

Update: Spent a good part of a frustrating day on this - after Adobe refused assistance (via Chat); told me my only recourse was via forums. Fortunately, I seem to have solved the problem; in multiple steps, which were basically trial and error. Version 8 did start working again - really not sure what worked! But I messed with several things. Was able to make use of some of the tips I found in help menus, once that was solved, to convert my original catalog. Then to use Vs. 13, I figured out that you have to select something besides the default "ELive" (on the top bar), to have access to the Manage Catalogs menu, etc. This isn't mentioned anywhere, but it was a stumbling block for me.

Problems converting catalog from PSE8 to PSE 12

I've upgraded from PSE8 to PSE12. I've just tried converting one of my 10 or so catalogs - all are stored in custom locations on an external drive, since the total file size for all my images is larger than my C: drive's capacity - with awful results:
a.     there is now a copy of my folder structure and all files from the catalog in a folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs. Not at all what I want, and if I convert the rest of my catalogs it will fail when C: drive becomes full.
b.     my converted catalog has no ratings on any images.
c.     my tags and tag heirarchy have disappeared.
Each of these issues is completely unacceptable. There are literally thousand of hours of work in all my catalogs, which I cannot repeat. How can I convert my previous catalogs to PSE12 versions, retaining all ratings, tags and tag structure, and without duplicating every image file?

I had already tried optimizing the catalog, repariing the catalog, re-indexing visual simularity data and making sure there were no missing files. Basically everything I found at: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/common-catalog-issues-upgrade-elements.html
I also used the Mac OS X Disk Utility to make sure there were no disk errors.
I have Parallels Desktop running on my Mac so I installed the Windows version of PSE12 and used it to convert the catalog of 63,000 pictures in under an hour. That put the catalog in a new location so I just moved the catalog from the Windows location to the Mac location. Now PSE12 on the Mac can access the new catalog and is working as expected.

Problem with STO from non-WM to WM-HU

Hi,
We have found out recently that we cannot move materials from non-WM to WM-HU storage locations with STO (313-315). When we are trying to post 313 from non-WM storage location, system gives error "ILN basis no. for plant XXXX, stor.locat. XXXX or whse number not found" where XXXX is the plant id and storage location id for non-WM stor.loc., so it should not have any ILN configured.
We have been using this functionality for a long time, last time in Septmeber. But since the problem applies to all materials and all STOs between non-WM and WM-HU, the problem is not connected to material master or specific storage location but should be some general setting in the system.
Does anybody has any idea where to look for?
Best regards,
Ewa

Hello,
You probably already solved your problem (hope for you!) anyway it should have to do with SSCC number
Glossary: International Location Number (ILN)
Check the customozing under Logistic General - >Handling Unit Management -->External Identification

Export Catalog from PC Photoshop Elements 10 and Import Catalog to Mac Lightroom CC - How please?

Hello
I am running Photoshop Elements 10 on a Windows 7 PC and I want to move it to my Mac Lightroom CC / Photoshop CC.
I understand I need to export the catalog from PSE 10 and then import it to Lightroom or Photoshop CC.
I wonder if I could get some advice on how to do this?
Many thanks

Are there any problems updating directly from OS X 10.6 to Mountain Lion 10.8? X

Will I have any particular difficulty updating directly from OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.8 Mountain Lion using a download from the App Store?
iMac is current with the latest 10.6.8 version.
Thank you for any comments or suggestions.

You want to check compatibility of your apps and that your Mac can support ML.
Also, although the specs say 2GB of RAM, IMO 4GB should be a minimum.
The app Store DL is slow. Once you DL it, before installing it copy the installer from your Applications folder, so if you ever need to use it again you have it. The reason for this is that it self destructs after restart.

How do I move the tags and catalogs from old Photoshop Elements on old computer to new computer?

I am trying to move my Photoshop Elements information to a new computer. I have gotten the software installed, and the picture files moved over, but the tags and catalogs are not showing up on the new computer. From looking online, it looks like there is a way to attach that information to the files on the old computer before transferring them over. Ugh! Hindsight! Having already transferred over 35,000 jpg files to my new computer, is there any other way to move that information over without deleting all those files on my new computer and starting from scratch?

Even if you have the same folder structure, the organizer will find that the internal serial number of the drive is different and show all files as missing; you'll need to reconnect. That's why the backup and restore method is better. It also recognizes the need to upgrade (convert) the catalog format to the new version of Elements.
Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later

Problems updating iPhone4 from OS4.0.1 to 4.1

Network Connection Timed Out. Speedtest shows my network to run at about 1.3Mbps - not the fastest around, but not slow. The update said it would take 65 minutes. It even told me when it got down to 65 seconds and then 'processing file' before finally giving the Network Connection Timed Out error. The file was fully transferred to my PC, but the update failed and I got to try again. This was a HUGE consumption of time. A lengthy post that I made last night was removed as it was considered feedback. So, I repost today with a question - how is a customer supposed to get software updates? Go to the Apple store? There are SO many others that seem to have the same problem as I read other posts.
iTunes is 10.0.1.22, Vista is Service Pack 2, iPhone4 was OS4.0.1 trying to go to 4.1.

this may or may not work... try disabling all firewall and antivirus software during the update... this has worked for other users...

Problem issueing material from one WBS element to another

Hi Guys,   This is my first post so be kind.
Our projects during their life cycle change their WBS element sub number.   Example New project starts with WBS element # E.7029.00.010 at some point in the project it moves on to the next level and the WBS element changes to E.7029.00.020 later in the project it will again change to E.7029.00.030. Ok you get the idea.
Now the problem.   When the project is at the .020 level we purchase inventory and recieve it into project inventory under the WBS elemement E.7029.00.020.
Now the project has moved on to E.7029.00.030 and we want to create a production order to make a prototype. The WBS element for the production order is E.7029.00.030 but the inventory is still under WBS element E.7029.00.020. When we go to issue the material to the job it says there is none in inventory under WBS E.7029.00.030. Which is right it is all under E.7029.00.020.
Is there a way that we can store the inventory under E.7029.00 and be able to issue it to any sub group of E.7029.00 so that it would not matter if the current WBS is E.7029.00.020 , E.7029.00.030 or E.7029.00.050?
Since our BOM's can be quite extensive and often contain a large number of new components this would be of great assistance.
Thanks for your time and consideration.

The project moves on to another stage.   During the development of new products the project goes through several stages before the new product is released for production and sales.   For example:
Stage 10 - concept
Stage 20 - initial design
Stage 30 - design refinement
Stage 40 - Bata testing
Stage 50 - Final design
Stage 60 - Production process design
At each of stages 20 - 50 changes to the BOM can occur. Material would be purchased at stage 20 and could continue to be used through the rest of the stages including after release to production.   But if the material is purchased during stage 20 then it sits in inventory under the WBS element ending in 020 but when the project moves on to the next stage the material will be used to produce prototypes for stages 30 - 60 as long as the material is included in the BOM at that time.

Problems updating movie from Dir8 to MX2004

I should be grateful for help in updating a large movie
containing MIAWs from Dir 8 (Windows) to Dir MX2004 (10.1,
Windows):
(1) In Dir 8 the following verbose Lingo produces a MIAW with
no title bar (which is what I want):
set the filename of window "Control" = "Control.dir"
set the windowtype of window "Control" = 2
However in MX "windowtype" is obsolete but I am unable to get
results from what I hoped would be the equivalent line:
window("Control").titlebarOptions.visible=FALSE
Is there some step that I am missing?
(2) My Director movie contains many Quicktime movies, which
have controller bars. In Dir 8 they work well, but in MX2004 when I
click on the start/stop icon at the left of the controller bar the
whole screen is given over to the Quicktime and the MIAW (which
carries all my navigation buttons) disappears. How can I get around
this?
Help will be much appreciated!
Scourse

1) I seem to recall that you had to set the properties of the
Window BEFORE you open() it. Otherwise, the window gets set to a
default property state. You may also want to look into
DisplayTemplates. Here are some links.

http://livedocs.adobe.com/director/mx2004/release_update_en/09_pr191.htm
2) Use BuddyAPI to get the window handle and then set it to
front. I too wish there were a way to handle this out of the
box.

IOS Iphone Syncing problem - UPDATE direct from Skype Support

I've been having problem getting messages on my iphone for a week now. No group messages, no notifications, and I cannot receive groups calls or messages. I have the latest version of iOS and reinstalled and reset my phone severals times. I contacted Skype support and found out they are doing a SILENT update, and that we can experience problems on this for the next several weeks, and there is NOTHING YOU CAN DO. I requested they post an update to keep users informed so they don't spend a bunch of time debgging, but guess what, they won't. So hpefully see this post before you spend 3 hours trying to figure out the problem. Please give a kudos if this helps, so that others will see too. REPLY if you're having the same problem. Thanks!!

i'm having problems since 2015-07-31 on my iphone4 (7.1.2) - it syncs msgs only if the other party is online at the same time. all offline msgs are ignored without error or something.
but strange as it is it still works without issues on my iphone6 (8.4)... both devices run skype 5.14.0.46

Update iTunes from non-Admin account?

I had to install iTunes from an admin account, but I use it from an non-admin account. When I get the message that there is a new version available, can I upgrade from the non-admin account? I don't want to try it without knowing because I don't want to corrupt anything. I'm on Windows XP.

No, you log out of you limited user account and update from an administrator account.
Personally I don't trust updating from within iTunes and I always download the installer and save it on my PC before running it.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
As I am rather paranoid, I make copies of iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml before updating, do this with iTunes closed. But iTunes should make a backup of its own when updating. Unfortunately if you have to update from an account that is not your usual one, it will backup the library of the account you update from, not the one you want.
Added : Actually I may be wrong in my last point. If the backup is made when you first open iTunes and it converts the library, you may be OK. But I would make a copy anyway.

Problem importing pictures from camera with Elements Organizer

I am using Elements Organizer from Photoshop Elements 9 (Mac OS 10.6.8). Recently, the files imported from my camera are being stored on my hard drive with the permissions set so that only the owner of the files can read them. Previously, anyone could read them. I must have accidentally changed something in Elements Organizer.
How do I set things back to how they were so that everyone can read the files imported from the camera? Is there a way to reset the default settings for Elements Organizer?
I can get around this by setting the permissions for the folder of pictures from the Terminal window, but this requires that I remember to do so after each import.
Java Jay

You can use the app PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer the pictures to your computer while maintaining your folder structure.

Transfer bookmarks from non working windows xp and firefox 3.6 to working windows xp and firefox5 each on seperate hdd in same computer

I wish to transfer the bookmarks from my old Firefox 3.6/4.0 to my new Firefox 5.0, they are on two separate hdd in my computer. I cannot access my old installation as the OS (xp) is not working, so maybe I can copy the actual bookmark files, if only I could locate them. no profile or backup was ever made in the old Firefox so the help files appear to be useless to me as they only tell you how to us if you have a backup or profile

What you could probably try is temporarily installing FF3 and placing the bookmarks in the appropriate folder in your new OS (directory should be the same as Vista if the new OS is win 7), exporting as HTML, installing the new FF of your choice and import the HTML file there.
