PSE10 upgrade and new Win7 PC

I am upgrading from PSE4 to PSE10 and at same time need to transfer all photos from an old XP machine to a new Win7 PC.
What sequence do you recommend?
e.g. install PSE10 on old machine first and re-catalogue everthing? Then transfer, how?
or install PSE10 just on new machine and use restore from a catalogue backup on a transfer drive?
What about transferring all the photos from the old machine - the new Win7 directory structure is slightly different at root level, so will PSE10 find everything?!
Thanks for any advice.

Your second choice is the one to use:  Make a full backup to an external drive with PSE4 on your XP machine, then use PSE10 on your Win7 machine to restore from that backup.  The backup will backup not only the catalog (database) but also all the media files. 
When you restore, PSE10 will automatically convert the catalog to the PSE10 version, and you should use the option to restore to a "New Location with same folder structure" because you're absolutely right about the differences between XP and Win7 for root directory locations.  The media will be copied into your specified root directory and the image subdirectories will be maintained.

  • How to Install CS2 Downloaded Upgrade on New Win7 Machine

    Hi, I have a purchased and downloaded version of CS2 I want to install on my new Win7 computer.  However I do not see an installer in the package. 
    How do I install this? 

    There is no setup.exe. 
    In the original downloaded upgrade to CS2 from CS1, there are live applications that can be launched.  However, I'm afraid at this point I may have some value in the registry that will not allow me to continue.  I have no idea why. 
    Like I said before, when I try to launch CS2, I get the error that my "user name, organization or serial number is invalid.  The application cannot continue and must exit."  I am not given an opportunity to input this information.
    I have even installed this as recently as last year on a laptop from the same media with no problems, however I must have done something differently this time and it isn't working. 
    I'm afraid at this point I am either going to have to start from scratch and re-install Windows, or fork out for the upgrade to CS5, which I don't really need. 
    That is unless I can locate whatever registry file it is that needs to be modified...   I am not trying to do anything nefarious, only trying to use the software I bought and paid for. 

  • Problems going to sleep after 10.5 upgrade and new memory

    Looking around the forums I notice lots of problems with sleeping computers and Leopard. Here's my story.
    After upgrading my eMac with new memory (now at 1 GB) and Leopard, I have problems getting it to go to sleep after logging out. What happens is at the logout/login screen I click the sleep button, it goes gray for seven or eight seconds or so, then goes active again and the computer stays awake. I have to click-and-wait three times before the computer will sleep. It is a consistent bug in that I always have to click three times.
    I figure this is more likely a Leopard problem than a memory problem. I bought the RAM off eBay but they are name-brand chips and haven't given me any problem.
    Any thoughts?

    Andy,
    I would pull out to the new RAM upgrade and see if your sleep issue is hardware related. If your Mac still doesn't sleep correctly, I would try reloading OS X from your retail discs, then upgrade to 10.5.2 making sure you use the Combo Updater instead of Software Update.

  • OSX Upgrade and new software purchases slow down Mac and Battery won't hold charge?

    Any assistance appreciated:
    I have recently upgraded my OSX from Snow Leopard, which I was quite happy with, and was ticking over very nicely.
    And, today, I have problems???
    I was using Snow Leopard, I purchased Mainstage 2 for my musical work... Nice piece of Kit..
    I then notice 'Apple', bring out Mainstage 3 about 10 days later???
    I check out the spec, will not run on my OSX...
    I then check out Mainstage 3 and find that it would be a better version than 2..
    I then decide that the extra stuff in Mainstage 3 is worth the price of an OSX upgrade, and the newer Mainstage 3 version although I had recently purchased Ver 2..
    I do the upgrade, seems to have worked fine...
    I purchase Mainstage 3, get that installed, and the Xtra's.... What is that all about?
    It took me well over 12 hrs to get those...
    Any road up, I get everything installed and functioning....
    Now, my Mac is Slllooooow..
    The Battery will not hold it's charge... Runs for only 2 hours MAX and then needs recharging???
    The MacBook was bought only 18 month ago??? 2011 edition..
    I have an IBM ThinkPad 240 and it still holds more charge than my Mac....
    Help appreciated Folks...
    For the dosh I have paid to 'Apple', the product and software should operate and function better than this???
    And to honest, I aint spending anymore, until 'Apple' give me some answers on my problems.

  • Always crashing and rebooting when booting from my new win7-disc. Lenovo 3000 n200 0769-erg

    I have a fully working  Vista system on my n200, trying to boot from my new win7-disc, even tried to boot from usb but it's the same:
    "Loading windows files" followed by "Starting windows" with the new win7-logo.. After that comes a fat cursor(guess the resolution is lower, like in "Rescue and recovery").
    This cursor and a black screen is all I see for ~5 secs before it crashes. Same thing every time.
    It might be Rescue and recovery that starts there and crashes. If that's the case, how do I remove it/fix it in a safe way? Or can i try something else first?
    I am able to boot Linux from CD fyi..
    Thankful for any help.

    hi perp,
    If you have tried installing Windows 7 in both AHCI/Compatible mode and the Windows 7 installer still crashes, can you try to run a diagnostic on the RAM/HDD (to make sure there's no hardware fault).
    To run the diagnostics:
    1. Download the the UBCD ISO
    2. Burn the ISO using imgburn
    3. Boot from the diagnostic cd and use MemTest86+ for the memory test and use Data Lifeguard (if you have a Western Digital HDD).
    To burn the diagnostic softwre on a flashdrive, follow this guide.
    If you get any errors, you will need to contact lenovo for service or you can DIY and replace the defective components.
    Hope this helps

    I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7.  I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade.  The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen.  I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine.  Any thoughts on how to get this working?  Thanks

    If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it.  You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

    Thanks b noir,
    I tried this solution without success. After FixIt ran and didn't find a problem, either in looking for issues with "software upgrade" or "iTunes" it kindly offered to help me uninstall iTunes. I had thought of this as a possibilty but it seems to me that if you do that you lose a lot of "non-native-to-Apple" information you might have entered. I did this once and recovery was painfull. Is there a way to uninstall iTunes without losing all of that sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated.

    After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?

    Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
    As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
    Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".

    Since my work machine was upgraded to a Windows 7.1 pc, I can no longer connect remotely with my Macbook Pro with 10.6.8.  I need to know the most efficient and economical way of doing this and if I can skip versions to get where I need to be.  Supposedly, I need the very latest remote desktop connection software, and it is not compatible with 10.6.8.  Help please.
    Thanks

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

    Hi, I've just upgraded the new firmware, everything seems fine but now my USB Hard disk is not recognizable unless i restart the router. I have a Seagate FreeAgent 500Gigs, and it worked perfectly with the previous firmware. Just wondering if its just me or anyone else has the same problem. 
    Thanks 
    I forgot to add that afterawhile the hard disk isnt recognizable again and i have to reset it to get it working

    The same thing is happening to me... After the HDD goes to sleep, when you goto access it again you can hear it spin up but you still can't access it at all.

    I have been into setting>store and signed out and signed back in and it still asks for old ID and password.

    Everything you've had up to now has been tied to your old Apple ID. You cannot switch it over to a new Apple ID. You should contact iTunes support to help you with this:
