PSE5 - backup catalog fails - need to move my photos

I'm trying to move my photos to my new laptop with PSE8. I bought a 8 gig flash drive to use since I have lots of photos. When I went to do the File - Backup Catalog it stuck at recovering at 66% for about 20 mins. then the screen went blank and it showed not responding. Did I do something wrong? Also, can I just back up and move only my 2009 photos instead of the entire catalog. I have 12,000 photos in PSE5 although most (90%) are email size. Thanks.

I don't think I did it correctly. Actually I know didn't! I figured out how to use the flash drive and went in to my old desktop pc and copied the files from windows My Pictures and then put them in to Adobe on my new laptop. They are all transferred (took me over an hour to do the copy) but not "stacked". Each original photo is there in PSE 8 and the edited version next to it but separate - if that makes sense. Should I delete all these photos from the laptop and start again? And I wonder how this will affect my photobucket files?
And please dj_paige can you explain a bit more about copying the catalog file in Windows. You are talking to a older person here, not a technical minded on at all! Thank you. (Thought I did well just figuring out my flash drive! )

Hi, I'm a bit low on memory and I can't update the iOS. I need to move some photos off the iPad but I don't want to transfer them to a pc, I'd prefer to transfer them to iCloud and leave them there. Is that possible?

Yes, you could, because in this case you would have something like a backup in the cloud. BTW, personally I also like Flickr. Flickr offers you 1 TB (1000 GB) of free storage and automatic upload for photos since iOS 7 (it is a very attractive offer, at least for me)

I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created? I tried exporting them, but it loses all info. Also, how do I move the quicktime movies from one iphoto library to another? They were exported as jpgs

Add both libraries to iPhoto Library Manager. Then select the events or albums that you want to copy from library A and drag them to library B in iPLM.

I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air. I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work. The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything. What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder. So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air? Whew!

iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

Hard Drive Failing, Need to Move Photo Source Folders

How does one move photo source folders from one drive to another in PSE11 without loosing the file links?

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

Computer died, need to move apps, photos

hello, computer has died and data is not recoverable. I have several songs and apps that I purchased from the iTunes store. How can I transfer these to a new computer? I would also like to make sure the photos I have saved on my iPod Touch will transfer also.
thank you.

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.

Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

I need to get the photo's synced via ITunes from my IPhone to my Windows PC

Due to a hard drive failure I have lost all my data on my Windows Desktop. I have synced most of the photo's on my IPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 via ITunes however it seems I cannot do the reversal to get the photo's from the IPhone to my Windows Laptop. Has anyone got any suggestions to help??

The only photos that you can put onto the drive of the computer from the phone are the ones in the Camera Roll. Those are done via the Import utility in Windows. Photos that have been synced to the iPhone via iTunes would have to be taken from the iPhone via a 3rd party utility. You cannot sync photos that have been synced to the phone back to a computer via iTunes. It does not work that way.
There are a number of 3rd party utilities that you can use, but TouchCopy by Wide Angle Software is a good choice. I have used it before, and there is a free trail or a purchased alternative, depending on how much you need to do. That also will allow you to archive voicemail, SMS, and other data from the phone, if you did not have a backup of your iTunes library on the desktop. Remember the photos that were synced to the iPhone were done so in a reduced resolution, so you would not be getting them back in the same size and resolution as you synced them. Also understand, that if you did not have a backup, you will need to move music as well, or it will delete all of the music on the iPhone.

Help me move my photos from Aperture to external hard drive without the program

I'm having problems with Aperature. I need/want to get rid of it. I need to move my photos out of it ASAP using Finder. I can't locate the photos in Finder. The instructions i see online don't work.
Help!

The first step is wrong "1 I click on Aperture.app"
Don't click the Aperture application - that is the program. You need to click the Aperture library, the database with your photos.
By default your Aperture library will be in the folder "Pictures" and named "Aperture Library.aplibrary". It will show an icon like a fan of pictures. The color of the icon will depend on the version.

Need to move from PSE5 on xp to new PC with win7 and 64 bit

Old computer is XP 32 bit and new laptop is Windows 7 64 bit. Do I need to buy new Elements 8 for the 64 bit pc and how do I move my photos over to new computer. I am not at all technical so thanks for any help.

Hi
PSE5 is fine on 64 bit W7. There's various ways of moving your photos, I'd suggest "File", "Backup Catalog..." to an external hard drive or DVD and then "File", "Restore catalog" on new pc. That will transfer your cataog as well as your photos so captions, tags etc are preserved.

Export backups failing - Need advice

Hello All,
We have a 10.2.0.3 database for which we have to take export backups everyday in maintainence window, when only batch jobs and other non essentials SQL's are running on the database.
The export command we have used in our script is as under:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/exp / file=$ORACLE_DUMP_FILE compress=y full=y direct=n buffer=20480000 consistent=y statistics=none log=$ORACLE_LOGAtleast 3-4 times in a week, the export backup us failing with ORA-01555 errors like the one below:

Hello. Thanks for the inputs on CONSISTENT option. There are pre-laid change mgmt processes in every organisation which needs to be maintained/taken in account before such changes are made, and that too, with client approvals, etc. Since it was not a feasible option to get EXPDP or RMAN implemented at this point, so was this question raised.
There is a small issue, however, if we use CONSISTENT=N. Below is an extract from asktom.oracle.com:
>
imagine if you started an export at 9am of the EMP and DEPT tables.
EMP started exporting at 9am and DEPT at 9:15am.
Now, the EMP data would be "as of 9am", but the DEPT data would be as of 9:15am. What if
you import that data now -- will it work? maybe, maybe not -- perhaps at 9:10am, someone
fired the last employee in department 50 and deleted department 50. Your EMP export
would have them in this deptno, your DEPT export would not have this deptno. The import
would fail.
If you use consistent=y, Oracle will export all of the data "as of 9am", so deptno=50
will be included in all tables and the import will succeed.
>
That's one of the risks involved.
Is there any other solution we can have in place for this issue? Thanks.

Help! Old computer HD failed and need to move files on IPOD to new comptuer

Does anyone know how to do this? I just got a new computer and i'd like to move the music from my ipod to the new computer, but the itunes is not allowing me to do this. Is there anyway to accomplish this? I cant access the old computer since this HD is dead. I'm not very technically inclined, so step by step instructions would be super helpful. THANKS SO MUCH

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved also it was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described. Also it won't transfer playlists or videos as far as I know. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. Relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
