PSE 7 will not recognize my catalog .psa files?

I reinstalled my PSE 7 app but it did not come up with my massive catalog of images and If I use File/Catalog/Custom Location/ and navigate to my D/My_Pictures/catalogs/my_pictures.psa file the application seems not to recognize that type of file. I have over 30,000 images in it there is no way to do this over any help would be appreciated.

John, first again thanks a million for your time BUT here is the rub...
First I am one of those customers that cried when Adobe bought Macromedia, here is another example - I now know exactly what happened. When I upgraded to PSE7 and asked Adobe to convert my catalog which I had placed where the hell I wanted it on my 'D' drive. The Adobe basically said listen 'me/the customer' don't really know what the hell your doing and you really should keep it here (C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Potoshop Elements\...), well you get the idea.
So Adobe moves my 'catalog' to ANOTHER FREAKING DRIVE' without so much as a dialog box to confirm this arrogance. So my backup utilities are merrily backing up all my data which is kept on the D drive without knowing that Adobe has MOVED my catalog.
Now that I have scrubbed my C drive to install a clean Win 7 - which I always do which is why all my data is on my D drive I have lost basically two years of catalog updates. Not Adobe fault of course since there disclaimer basically says they can kill my mother if there is no obvious remnant of the body.
Do I cry again for the demise of Macromedia who was kicking Adobe's butt until greed removed competition from that market.
Again, thanks very much for your contribution or I would not have been able to understand how I got screwed.
Regards

I have version 4.4.1 on my computer now, which is functioning properly - but does not read the .ARW files.

Lightroom 5.7 will not convert .nef to dng from my Nikon d750. Stand alone dng converter will not recognize or convert the files. Any know whats wrong?

I don't understand why you feel you need to use ViewNX to download your images from the camera. Lightroom has an excellent import process. I don't see that you gain anything by using the Nikon software. It seems to me that it has the capability of just creating more problems.
If you want to convert your D750 files to DNG using the standalone DNG converter thing you need to have DNG converter 8.7 installed. Once you have it installed, just choose the FOLDER in the DNG converter, but don't open it in the DNG converter file browser. If you open that folder then you will get the message that there are no files to convert. The converter works on the folder level, not the individual file level.

MY NEW IPOD 60G WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MY EXISTING MUSIC FILES

I'M TRYING TO SET UP MY NEW IPOD AND IT WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MY EXISTING WMP LIBRARY OR A PORTABLE SONY VAIO LIBRARY. HOW CAN I CHANGE PROPERTIES OR EXT SO IT WILL. THANKS GB

You will have to get the tracks into iTunes before you can load them on your iPod. iTunes will import the following formats: AAC, MP3, AIFF, WAV, and unprotected WMA. If your tracks are in one of these formats, iTunes should be able to bring them in (try the Add To Library command first).
If the tracks are in protected WMA (either purchased from another download music store or imported from CD with the Windows Media Player default to copy-protect turned on) or are in Sony's proprietary format, then you will not be able to import them directly into iTunes. In those cases, the only way to get the tracks into iTunes will be to, if your download service allows, burn the tracks to an audio CD and then reimport that into iTunes.
Hope this helps.
Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate behavior to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting. Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you wont need to do here .

Dreamweaver CS6 will not recognize existing site definition files

Neither does CC, naturally. These are sites I haven't edited for about a year. I can't find any information about reloading sites by importing the contents, only by opening the STE files... which in this case, won't open.

Are you attempting to simply open the .ste, or are you going to Site > Manage Sites > Import?
If you are tring to import them correctly (second option above) and they aren't importing, the .ste files may be corrupt. To create new site definitions from your existing content...
1. Go to Site > New Site
2. For the "Local Site Folder" browse to one of your current site folders on your HD
3. Add a server and FTP credentials obtained from your hosting company (if you don't have them)
4. Save
5. Repeat for each site
EDIT: If you don't have the site's files locally, do the same as above (setting the local site folder to an empty folder on your HD) and, once you add the FTP info, click the Get button (down arrow) in the Files window to download your entire site onto your machine.

How do I open RAW images from T1-XMG CR2? Adobe DNG converter will not recognize these files. HELP?

How do I open RAW images with T1-XMG CR2? I have adobe DNG converter but it will not recognize these images. I have had no problem with converting other images. and ACR will not recognize them either. Help!@

The screenshot did come through once I added the period between dropbox and com, making URL:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7q829t2n3uuuqg/screenshot%202014-07-01%2012.36.28.png
The screenshot shows the first raw file is named T1-XMG_3306.CR2 which probably corresponds to a normal raw filename of IMG_3306.CR2. It is not clear where this name came from. I guess it is possible that you’ve entered in a renaming template in LR’s Import panel that replaces the initial I or _ with T1-XM and so the files are renamed.
What I have asked for is not a screenshot of your filenames, but one of the CR2 files, itself, which you can upload to dropbox and post a link to. You should use copy/paste to get the link into a message, rather than typing it in, if at all possible.
This is because it was my understanding that these oddly-named CR2 files don’t work, and I wanted to look more closely at them to see if they were recognizable as some other type of file.
Do you have a raw file named IMG_3306.CR2 that these files correspond to?

Elements 11 will not recognize raw files from Nikon D610

Elements 11 will not recognize raw files from Nikon D610. I have downloaded ACR 8.2 and DNG converter to no avail! Any suggestions? It does recognize files from my D600.

Support for the D610 was added in the latest release candidate version of Camera Raw, 8.3 RC. You will need to install that version or wait until it is officially released. Your choice.

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

HT1379 Summary: how to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards.

How to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards?
Insert the SD card.
System opens iPhoto with SD contents.
Want to transfer files from SD card to system drive. iPhoto closes
SD card directory removed from the Finder window and is not available again.
I don't want to have to reboot the system every time I want to perform this option.
What's wrong here.
The support columns show this isn't an isolated incident with all sorts of solutions possible.
This is a simple task - there should be a simple method for the system to recognize SD cards.
What's the answer?
I've reviewed a recommendation to reset the SMC.

and

and another thread that says, basically, you must buy extra hardware to perform this simple task,

another one that has the same problem with OS Mountian Lion,
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21919740#21919740
another one with the problem that says SD cards can't be read by Apple unless the card is formatted specifically for Apple, ie. that Apple is not compatible with other cards, but the problem maybe something else that requires Apple service - (bad SD card reader?).
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18711818#18711818
there are probably more discussions, but I dont' want to spend my entire sunny in Seattle day working this.
thanks for the help!

When I plug in an SD card, the finder window shows it under the DEVICES section. At this point, I can drag the contents to the hard drive. However, when I screw up and click the character on the right side of the name - it apparently closes the SD card and I can't find any command to reload or re-recognize the card. I have to remove and reinsert the card and then sometimes it recognizes the card. Other times I reboot and it will recognize it.
What does that character on the right side of the SD card name do? Is it an eject function - with no way to subsequently reread the drive?
It ejects or unmounts the card. When the SD card mounts click on it once to highlight it and then drag the files shown within it to the new folder.

When I try to import video, Lightroom-4 will not recognize the video files. How do I fix that?

Lightroom 4 will not recognize the video files. It will only import the photo files. How do I import the video files?

You might provide some additional information, such as what types of videos, from what cameras, and what version of LR4 you are using.

Lr4 version 4.4.1 will not recognize nef files from my nikon d610? why?

I downloaded the latest version of LR4 (4.4.1) and downloaded the latest raw converter as well and it still will not recognize the files. I updated PSE12 with the latest raw converter and that opens fine.

Because your old version of Lightroom has no idea what a D610, or what to do with its files - the latest version of Lightroom is version 5.4, and D610 support came with Lr 5.3.
So you can either upgrade to 5.4, or convert your D610 files to DNG (which Lr 4 can read) using the Adobe DNG Converter: but Lr 4 will never, ever, natively support the D610.

Backup will not recognize/detect the DVD onto which I stored my files.

The system: TouchSmart tx2-1275dx system running Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit). Unit is two years old.
The problem: I am doing a complete restore after complete HDD failure. I have used the HP recovery disks, purchased online for $16.50 , to reinstall the operating system; it is now back to its as-purchased state and functioning okay. When I open up the Backup/Restore application and attempt to restore from the backup files on my DVD drive, the system does not recognize those files. I have tried making a small backup of the restored system thinking that would enable the backup process. The system will recognize the small backup but not pre-failure backup.  Thinking that the problem was the disks, I tried them on my desktop machine. Though it runs XP Home, it quickly recognized the backup-disks and successfully restored the files in a temporary profile without issue.
The question: What can I do to restore the backup files (*.vhd) I made prior to this failure.  I did monthly backups specifically to avoid this kind of data loss. There has to be some way of getting the system to recognize them.
General remarks: The hardware portion of this restoration was easy. The software reinstallation/restoration has, to date, taken a suprisingly large amount of time and money; yuck.

If you are using the built in Vista backup, here is what I think has happened.
Vista backup uses an image based backup, it stores an image of the hard drive and the files you selected for backup, it also stores a disk signature in the image, it contains partition data and other parameters, since you replaced the disk and most likely is not the same size, Vista backup will not recognize that backup as legitimate, signature mismatch of sorts.
What you can do:
1. If you have acess to a W7 PC you can use disk management in W7 to mount the vhd image and the copy all your data out of the image to flat files.
2. You can do this in Vista but takes some software to be installed
http://www.pronetworks.org/forums/how-to-mount-completepc-backup-vhd-file-t84349.html
Conclusion, you most likely can get your data but you will have to decide where it goes.
I don't guarantee this is the issue, but is most likely.
One other thing you can try is to copy the contents of the DVD to your hard drive, then point to the directory.
Vista and W7 backup is not a full featured backup solution and has its limitations, I sugget this software for backups and disk images, it also has a rescue boot disc you can make.

I movie will not recognize .mpg files

I have recently transferred all my PC videos to my I Mac. I am trying to make movies using I Movie but it will not recognize these files. Any thoughts?

.MPG files are containers to various encoding formats, some of which are not supported by iMovie. Just because the files are playable in QuickTime, does not mean the files are editable in iMovie.
