PSE 7 tags and new install questions

I have PSE7 on an older computer and I've purchased a new computer and would like the tags from the 30000+ images to move over to the new system.
I see some possible pitfalls.
New OS is Windows 7 and old OS is XP
Paths will be different due to the Users versus Documents and Settings folders
Sheer size of the files
I have already copied the files to the new system and have installed PSE7. Now I haven't even opened PSE7 on the new system yet as I want to make sure I can get all the data from the old system in there first.
I don't really want to backup 50GB or so of pictures again but if I have to I can.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Pete

The backup/restore method is generally the most straightforward way of moving your catalog to a new computer, especially when switching versions of Windows or changing the file and folder paths. Adobe has not yet announced whether they will officially support PSE 7 on Windows 7, but a number of people have reported that various versions of PSE ran fine on pre-release Windows 7.
See this FAQ for details on using the backup/restore method:

Problem With PSE-2 and New 1.5 TB Drive

Hi all. First of all, I've been using my registered PSE-2 for several years with no problem. AMD Athalon 7750 dual core at 2.7 Ghz, 2.0 G Memory. WD 1.5 TB primary and WD 500 GB secondary drive.Win XP SP3. I recently had a drive fail and installed a new freshly formatted WD 1.5 TB as my boot drive. Fresh install of WinXP and updates. Now when I install Elements, it appears to install fine. The problem comes when I attempt to start it the first time I get "Could not initialize Photoshop Elements because the scratch discs are full". Then Elements closes, thus not allowing me to do anything with the internal configuration of the program. I have tried unistalling and installing to the 500 GB drive, but still get the same error. I have increased my page file memory Does anyone know of a problem with installing Elements on a large drive or can anyone offer a possible solution to what I am seeing? Thanks in advance for suggestions...

I think Barbara meant photoshop 7, which was out a little before pse2.
If you hold down the Alt+Ctrl keys just after you start pse2, a dialog
should appear allowing you to choose the scratch disk (keep holding
the keys until the dialog appears)
If you have a recovery partition on your hard drive, try choosing this for
the scratch disk and then exit pse2. Then restart pse2 and from
Preferences>Plug-ins and Scratch Disks choose your regular hard drive for the scratch disk.
Newer versions of pse, at least newer than 3 or 4 don't seem to have this problem.

New Install Questions

Hey folks... I'm looking for some idea's on my new install (system spec's are in my sig).
I have done some basic playing with the system and it's pretty nice so far. I do have a couple of complaints ( hot hot hot) but mostly I'm dig'n the system.
1) Add Fans... this system is hot, and I'd like to add a/some fans to it for improved airflow. Has anyone done this? I'd like some idea's on how to add more fans. (at least 1 80mm fan would be a great improvement I think). Or any other good idea's on lowering the system/cpu temp (and I did remove the stuff on the heatsink and put on some good AS5... but I didn't lap the heatsink)
2) Sound/Video capture. Here's what I have right now: Dish-network DVR, Mega 180 (with Logitec 5.1 speakers) and a TV. I would like to be able to watch Satellite TV and have the sound (surround sound) come through the 180. Not 100% sure how to do it right now.
And if I add a Capture card, is it just better to go out and get a upgraded video card & capture card (will most likely NOT be playing games on this system, and if we do they won't be high end frame monsters)? Either way, got suggestions?

YES
THANKS
One word of caution. People have claimed that reversing the fans has only worked in systems that did not have a separate video card in the AGP or PCI slots as they restrict air flow thus making the heat related problem worse than it was to begin with.

I Have PSE 12 and when installing it on a newer PC I noticed the color option that is at the bottom of the tool list was missin

Am I missing something here? it was on my old PC but upon re install it was missing.

I'm not seeing that at the same 1280 x 720 screen resolution on this vista machine.
You have pse 12 maximized to fit the whole screen?
Could you post a screenshot?
The only thing that seems to be missing are the actual labels in the toolbox.

Need help restoring original desktop after crash and new install

Question: is there a way to restore my original desktop?
My system starting giving me kernel errors. I was running Member when it crashed. I did a restart and the mouse would no longer work. Tried starting in safe mode. Mouse still refused to work. Removed most of my memory and restarted but mouse still would not work. Finally got the mouse to move in safe mode. Set my system to start from a different hard drive. This time the mouse worked fine. Ran memory check from this secondary driver and ALL memory checked out fine. Restarted computer with the original drive and once again the mouse would not work.
Finally, I re-loaded OS 10.4 plus ran all updates. I first tried to load it keeping all the setting but this made the system lock up and the computer would not restart without the CD. Finally, re-loaded 10.4 and archived original desktop.
Question: is there a way to restore my original desktop?
I found a folder that has the desktop stuff in it but some seems to be missing...
AND I cannot find any of my previous mail that had been saved. I'm sure (I hope) that it is here, but don't know where or how to set it back up.
I still don't know what caused the original problem...
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 3 HD totalling 400GB/ after market processor 1.6mhz

Hi, Edward.
1. You wrote: "I first tried to load it keeping all the setting but this made the system lock up and the computer would not restart without the CD. Finally, re-loaded 10.4 and archived original desktop.... I cannot find any of my previous mail that had been saved. "If you performed an Archive & Install of Mac OS X and did not use the "Preserve Users and Network Settings" option, then everything that was in your old user account, including your Mail, is gone. Before performing an Archive and Install without that option, you should have made a complete backup of the affected hard drive using a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution.
While it's unclear what you mean by "archived original desktop." If you mean you used Create Archive to create an Archive (.zip file) of your previous Home > Desktop folder before performing the Archive & Install, then only the files and folders that were saved on the Desktop at that time would be preserved. Mail was saved in your Home > Library > Mail folder, which the Archive & Install replaced if you failed to use the "Preserve Users and Network Settings" option.
If any e-mail files are still on the hard drive in question, then the instructions in my "Data Recovery" FAQ may help you find them, but I suspect they are all gone.
2. You wrote: "I still don't know what caused the original problem..."Earlier in your post you noted:"My system starting giving me kernel errors."and"Finally got the mouse to move in safe mode."If by "kernel errors" you meant the following message:
That indicates a kernel panic.
See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.
Since the system appeared to work properly in Safe Mode, this would also imply an errant Startup or Login Item could have been the cause, which is addressed in Step 4 of the "Troubleshooting kernel panics" section of my FAQ.
Good luck!

AT&T and new iPhone Question

Hey everyone, I had a quick question I was hoping someone could help me answer regarding upgrading to the new iPhone. I currently have a family talk plan with AT&T and have unlimited data. I am the only one on my account who plans on upgrading to the new iPhone. Because it seems like the new iPhone will have LTE what does this mean for my data plan? Will I now have to make the switch to the shared data plans and lose my grandfathered unlimited data plan? Is there any way to avoid this? Thanks in advance for the help.

What I'm trying to tell you is that for all practical purposes, you're now paying $30 a month for 3GB's of data. What you need to do is compare that to AT&T's new offerings. As an example, when iOS 6.0 is released, it will enable FaceTime over 3G. However, AT&T has already announced that only customers on their new "Shared Data" plans will be able to FaceTime over 3G on AT&T's network. Shared Data also enables Personal Hotspot..."unlimited data" plans do not.
You really need to compare apples to apples & get this "unlimited data" out of your mind, because the fact is you really don't have such. So, you pay $30 a month for 3GB's of data with no FaceTime over 3G & no Personal Hotspot. Now compare that to AT&T's new offerings & make your decision.

HIS 2013 HISServerConfig.xml example location and unattended install question

Hello,
I've never used the unattended part of the installer but wanted to give it a try. The installation guide refers to an example in the support\unattended_installs folder. I don't see that folder or file on the media I down loaded.
The guild also instructs to "save" the configuration during setup to create my own xml. I didn't see a "save" but tried using an export during my test unattended install but that didn't work. I would appreciate any help/information.
Thanks, Jim.

Hi Jim,
you are right. Unlike stated in the Installation guide this folder doesn't exist.
Anyway, here it goes:
When you install HIS the latest Setup/configuration screen will provide a link to create a XML file. Anyway, exporting the XML file out of the configuration utility will create the reference XML of your current installation and configuration.
You may modify the XML file according to the required settings of your new Server by changing the subdomain name, role, etc....
Also please note that we do not store the password in the XML file for security reasons, so you need to add this manually.
Once done, please run a similar command according to you settings as below:
Setup.exe /InstallPlatform /L c:\HISInstall.log /S c:\HISServerConfig.xml /INSTALLDIR C:\HIS Configuration.exe /L c:\ConfigFramework.Log /S c:\HISServerConfig.xml
Options
The following table describes the command options.
/InstallPlatform
This flag causes the installation program to install any platform prerequisites.
/L c:\HISInstall.log
This flag determines the log file location that is created during setup.
/S C:\HISServerConfig.xml
This flag specifies the configuration file (list of features) that is used on installation. The file "HISServerConfig.xml" contains information about which features to install and how they should be configured. Sample copies of these files are located
in the Support\Unattended_Installs directory of the installation folder. This file can also be created during setup by clicking Save in the summary panel of the Configuration Tool.
/INSTALLDIR
This option tells Setup where to install the product.
The Setup.exe installs all required binaries according to you reference installation while the configuration.exe configures you HIS Server the same as the reference configuration.
Hope that helps

Toshiba Service Station and new install

If I upgrade the ram, install my new 1tb SSD and install a new windows 8,1, would all I need to do is to install the service station to get all the drivers that are required for this laptop? It's a C series satallite.

Which computer? There is a label on the bottom.

Seem to have froze up while doing a disk erase and new install...

In preparing to wipe clean my old powerbook to sell it off, I am running through a complete disk erase (booting from install disks). It has been running for several days now, and the progress bar is probably 70% of the way over, but I think it has stalled out. It went through writing random data, and is now mapping disk partition, but the pointer is the swirling rainbow (indicates low memory, right?), and I don't think there's been any progress for a day or so. Even though I had 10.4 on the machine, the boot disks are 10.3...
If it has stalled out, can i somehow restart the entire process, or what should i do to not totally screw things up? Even though i have the install disks in, I'm afraid that with the partition not being done, i won't be able to re-install the OS. I selected 1 partition for the erase, and did the 8-pass option. I have 768MB RAM in the machine...not a lot, that's why I'm wondering if i've somehow run out of sufficient memory to complete the operation.
Any suggestions on what i should do next? thanks.

Hi Roger!
"...did the 8-pass option."
That could take days & days!
If you're in no hurry, don't interrupt it yet. Watch it for a while to see if there is any progress.

ICal will not sync in 10.5.5 after erase and new install!!! HELP

I had to do an erase and install of Leopard, and now my iCal will not sync.
Thanks to it being such a great application I now sync my iMac at home, my iPhone, my iBook, and my G5 tower at work all to each other, I now depend on it for client meetings and personal dates and just everyday functioning!
How do I fix this? What do I need to do to get my me.com calendar in sync with my iMac and the rest of my computers and iPhone.
I appreciate any and all advice to get this working again. Monday's already here!
APPLE please do not ignore this!
Thanks
Steve Amaral

Latest update 5 July. I just downloaded 10.5.4 and at least ical opens! The icon is still grayed out (not sure if that is a sign and symptom of some other problem) Not sure how well the program will work with Entourage and the rest of the applications after reading other posts about 10.5.4 Thanks for all the posts and I followed them to a T with no success until I downloaded 10.5.4
NOTE TO APPLE: I bought this machine to avoid the Window problems! It's nice to see you guys are following the leader! This Leopard OS is a mess! I regret nearly every day I made the switch! The IBM compatible laptop I bought after buying this machine (that's right no multiple mistakes) works flawlessly with Vista.

New install, question about Pacman

Ok so I finally decided to give arch a try. During the install I run the command "arch-chroot /mnt pacman -S grub-bios" and it prompts me the total install size, I choose "yes" to Proceed andnow its just sitting here. I see no verbose or status or loading percentage
How long do I wait here before I decide that its hanging. I understand it may be working in the background but I want to be sure.

It should've been plainly obvious, as this would've generated a lot of output with these two groups packages being installed over to those partitions you'd created.
I also second what jasonwryan had said above; favour the official install guide on the Arch Wiki, it's kept upto date and doesn't merely order you to pump out commands without offering an explaination as to why it's being done.
-- edit below --
Glad it seems to be working now.

How do I uninstall and then install PSE 9 w/o losing one license?

I'm still unable to open the PSE 9 Organizer. Message: "Elements 9 Organizer has stopped working." My only alternative is to uninstall PSE 9 and re-install and hopefully that will solve the problem. But how do I do that and not "lose" one of the 2 licenses that comes with PSE 9?

OK, I uninstalled PSE 9 and reinstalled. I'm still unable to open the Organizer. I still receive the message: "Elements 9 Organizer has stopped working."
My next question is probably going to be: How do I send PSE/PPE 9 back and receive a refund. This is just crazy and very frustrating.
