Restore catalog function is corrupted

Backed up catalog of 5001 images following instructions to the letter. Bought a new computer and installed the same pse 10 that was installed on the first computer. Attempted to restore catalog to new computer. All 5001 images made it as well as the 153 keyword tags. What's the problem you ask? There are hundreds of thumbnails that have the dreaded "diagonally torn negative" image and even more hundreds have hour glasses in place of my pictures. EVERY SINGLE TIME I PURCHASE A NEW COMPUTER AND ATTEMPT TO RESTORE MY CATALOG I HAVE PROBLEMS. ADOBE HAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS PART OF THEIR PROGRAMS. Does anyone know what they are doing? Is there a human that can help with this? I can fly to your corporate offices if someone there would help me out.
Thanks

Hi there. I have PSE 10 on a Windows 7 laptop. I have a very large catalog that contains photo and videos from over 11 years. I have had to move some media to an external drive due to drive space. I basically have years current - 2010 stored on my laptops HD. 2010 - older is on external HD. Most of the videos are also on HD.
I am at a point where its time to wipe my PC and start fresh or buy a new laptop. In the past, I have use the backup and restore feature to handle my library of media and that has worked great. Now, being spanned between multiple HD, I don't know how to proceed. I fear that the catalog is too large for my laptop HD. So I cant backup and restore, then move some media to external HD.
My only thought is to restore to external HD, then move stuff to internal HD? Or use a third party solution and restore the directory structure manually?
Any suggestions?
Jason.
My preferred solution would be to do a full backup on an external drive with enough free space. The backup will contain everything to restore the catalog and photo/video files on a new destination, even if those files are split today between several drives. If you choose the option to restore on 'custom' location keeping file structure, the different drives will be replaced by different master folders on the destination drive. That could be the new computer if it has enough space or another external drive. (It's not recommended to choose the backup external drive as the destination one, but that should work).

Trouble restoring catalog backup

Hello
Last week my hard drive died on me so I had to replace it and reinstall my operating system (Windows 7) and my programs. I had
trouble finding my old Elements 6 install files so I decided to upgrade to Elements 9. Before the HDD died I did do a catalog
backup of my Elements 6 pictures to an external hard drive. After upgrading to Elements 9 I went to restore my Elements 6 catalog
only to find out I apparently had an original and an incremental catalog. So after restoring the incremental part, Elements 9
asked for the location of the original .tly file. Unfortunately I couldn't locate it so the restore operation was aborted. I have
approximately 4500 pictures that I backed up on the external hard drive and as I had also stored them separate from the Elements
catalog backup I can get them back into Elements 9. However, that means recreating all my tags, categories, subcategories etc all
over again for about 4500 pictures which is something I'd rather avoid.
So does anybody out there have a way I can just restore the incremental catalog backup or use the files created to at least get my tags, categories etc back?
Interestingly enough, there seems to be a lot of duplicate pictures with different file numbers in the Elements backup. The pictures I have stored
independently is the the 4500 number, while the pictures on the external hard drive in the Elements 6 catalog folder amounts to
about 7300. Why would that be? In theory shouldn't they be very close to the same number?
While on the topic of Elements catalog backup, is there really any reason to do an incremental backup? I tried a couple of
experimental Elements catalog backups: the first was an original and the second I added a dozen pictures or so to the catalog and
tried an incremental backup. I chose the same folder for the incremental as I used for the original. I was asked if I would like
to overwrite and I responded yes. I then found the .tly file in the next stage of the process and was then informed that I
couldn't use the same folder for the incremental as the original. Why on earth not? Although I initially I thought Elements 6 was
quite good, I have to admit this whole process has put me off the Elements program quite abit. So if any of you know of a similar
product that does essentially the same thing as Elements I would be very interested to hear about it.
Many thanks in advance

Hi,
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
The pictures I have stored independently is the the 4500 number, while the pictures on the external hard drive in the Elements 6 catalog folder amounts to
about 7300. Why would that be
Some of the extra files should most probably be the breeze.xml files. These are created due to preprocessing of face data. I didn't quite get "duplicate pictures with different file numbers in the Elements backup" ?? . Do you mean they have numbers like -1 , -2 etc attached. If yes, then they exist mostly when you had ediited files present in Organizer. Since these are part of version sets in Organizer so theie count is not shown in Organizer but you see it in your backup.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
So does anybody out there have a way I can just restore the incremental catalog backup or use the files created to at least get my tags, categories etc back?
To restore the catlog, you will need to go to File>Restore catalog from ... , browse for the .tly file and hit restore.
Incremental backup comes into picture when you had taken the backup of catalog before. So next time, you make changes to catalog and wish to take a backup , you have the option for an incremental backup which backs up only the changes done in Organizer since the original backup was taken. Incremental backup builds on the original backup and hence its not allowed to overwrite the original.
Hope this helps. Thanks

Error message with PSE 8.0 trying to restore catalog.

PSE 8.0
After I do a full backup from within PSE 8.0
Im getting the following error message when I try to restore:
error encountered while restoring catalog. It is recommended that you contact your disc drive manufacture and upgrade to the latest available firmware for your specific disc drive before trying again.
I have tried to restore the backup from an external HDD (Buffalo 250m portible drive) and the internal HDD (WD velociraptor) on my computer. The backup was done right before the restore (I was testing the restore function)
Running Winodws 7 pro 64 bit (Clean install)
PSE 8.0
Why wont this work?

Its strange... I can think of such problem with CD/DVDs ..
But it should not happen with HDDs at least because its a reliable media for data storage...
Can you try one thing... Try repiar before backup and see if it makes any difference..

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Sidebar missing from iCal in Lion - seeking a third party product to restore lost functionality

Apple has removed the sidebar, the always-on list of calendars that required no click.
The shallow popover that appears only when clicked — obscuring part of the calendar before disappearing — is to me (and some others) an unacceptable substitute for working with multiple calendars, especially where calendars are grouped across multiple servers.
I'm aware of third party alternatives to iCal. (Most full-featured calendar interfaces do have an always-on full-height list of calendars. Probably the best known alternative to iCal is BusyCal.)
This topic does not seek alternatives; I do wish to continue using iCal, albeit in a way that is less frustrating than what Apple forces upon users of 10.7.
This topic seeks:
a third party product that will restore lost functionality to iCal.
To any developer who reads this topic: please, I beg you, on my knees, submit your iCal sidebar app — or whatever you wish to call it — to the App Store as soon as you can. I'll gladly pay, and more than gladly help to test any pre-Store development version.
Other readers please note: whilst I'm extraordinarily frustrated by Apple's design decision, this is not an invitation to rant. Let's gain something constructive from this discussion.
If you wish Apple to restore the sidebar to iCal, as an option, then please:
submit iCal feedback to Apple, with your use case; explain why for you personally the limited disappearing popover is a poor substitute; explain how the sidebar will improve both (a) your productivity and (b) your appreciation of Apple's software.
Side note: no category includes iCal, so I file this opening post under Using Mac OS X v10.7 Lion.
Thank you
Graham

the new way
Many things in the new iCal are beautifully designed. I am certain that the new iCal will be enjoyed by people who use the new multi-session screen sharing for Mac OS on iOS (that should be a separate topic).
iCal's aqua popover default may be perfect for people who have only a handful of calendars.
Critically
The new design fails completely to offer an always-on full-height list of calendars — invaluable when working with more than a handful of things.
The screenshot below, taken whilst evaluating BusyCal, shows a subset of my list of calendars (more than the average user, that's why an always-on list is so valuable). In shot: three accounts on a CalDAV server. I have other, lesser used accounts on other CalDAV servers. Also some use of Exchange servers. My own case is extreme but there's a guiding principle for a variety of use cases:
some users need to see the list of calendars all the time.
What's exmplified below has become impossible in iCal 5.0 (1535) in Mac OS X 10.7 (Build 11A511).
I plead with Apple, or a third party developer, to restore the sidebar list of calendars to iCal.
Apple's limitation is acceptable when the user has only two calendars —
— but for some other classes of user, completely inappropriate.
The percentage of users troubled by the loss of functionality may be less than the percentage enjoying the popover, but that in itself does not reduce the trouble, the frustration.
The sidebar was present in 10.4, removed in 10.5. Many users of 10.5 complained.
The sidebar reappeared in 10.6. Removal in 10.7 is almost completely dumbfounding.
I would like to say, "give it time — the more you use it, the more it will be appreciated" but for me this is not true. For some weeks I tried to work with this build of iCal and the more I used it, the greater the frustration. I grew to avoid iCal.
In most ways the feature set of iCal is unequalled. Support for many standards is excellent. The removal of the sidebar is a blight on this brilliance.
I plead with Apple or a third party developer to fix this at the earliest opportunity. I want Apple iCal — but user-friendly, not crippled.

Photoshop elements 5.0.2 restore catalog

I recently had to rebuild my Vista 32 bit operating system. After that I installed PSE 5.0.2 and Premiere Elements 3.0.2 again. After the installations had completed I started PSE with the "view and Organize photos" option and then went to RESTORE catalog so that I could restore from a full catalog backup I had taken earlier. The restore appeared to be successful but when I remove the last CD from a multi-CD backup, PSE just seemed to freeze up. When I start the task monitor it indicates that PSE is "not responding". After that I terminate PSE. I have reinstalled both Adobe applications several times with the same results. I have also deleted the MY Calalog.PSA entries and all entries in the my pictures folders so that the next catalog restore I did would have a clean start. Nothing changed. I have thousands of photos in this catalog and really need to get it restored.
I should add that the first time I restored the catalog after reinstalling PSE it appeared to be successful. The collections and tags were there. I then decided to create an new catalog with the name "My Catalog 2009" for any future pictures to reside in. After that I was never able to get PSE to run again. Anytime I started it, it appeared to freeze up.
I checked another thread with a similar problem that suggested starting PSE and hitting cntl, alt, shift inorder to get to catalog selection entries. I did that and renamed "My Catalog" to something else. Then when PSE started I created another catalog and put on picture in it. That worked fine. Then I restored the catalog from another full backup, thinking the one I had previously used was bad. But the same thing happened again. After the restore had complete PSE froze up. All my full backups can't be bad. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Greg

I'm not sure about the backup problem.
Freezing when you open PSE 5.0.2 in Vista is fixed via this: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400848&sliceId=1
Guess: This could fix the backup problem as well.

Photoshop Elements 6.0 Restore catalog issue

Okay...I am a novice here...but I have been using Elements since 3.0. I had my computer setup to backup my catalog in incremental steps to an external hard drive. I just reformatted my computer (Vista...UGH!) and now when I restore the catalog per adobe instructions...I don't get all my tags back. Now here is where I screwed up (I think): I Had a couple catalogs saved and I can't remember which one I used for the backup. I think I uploaded the wrong one, now it won't let me overwrite that one! Also when I finish a restore catalog session, it leaves up the screen that shows the catalog location and when I "x" out of it or cancel out it gives me a "cancel restore session" message. I am frustrated...Does Adobe provide techs at a cost to come out? Or can anyone help here? 8 years of tagging photos...I can't give up now! Thanks

Okay, well I get the catalog to "restore"...but when it is apparently done, it leaves up the window that is "locate next backup items to restore". If I just "X" out of it or hit "cancel" then elements asks me "are you sure you want to cancel the restore?". I have no other options but to "x" out of it or cancel. so I think I'm not getting my complete restore...what do you think?

HT1766 Restore backup function says there is not enough space on my iPhone to restore backup. How do I fix this/how do I know how much space I need on my iPhone?

My family member's iPhone recently erased all of its contact information, with no action taken by my family member. She is trying to use the restore backup function to recover her contacts.
The restore backup functions says that there is not enough space on my iPhone to restore backup. How do I fix this/how do I know how much space I need to complete this backup?
We have removed the majority of pictures from her phone, and she has 4.1 GB of memory free.
Thank you!

You need at least as much space as you have used on the iPod. Could be as much as 64 GB but is probably much less.
Find a way to delete what you do not need on the computer. Start by emptying the Recycle Bin.

Unable to restore catalog when moving to new version on new PC

I am trying to move all of my photos/catalog from one PC to another. The old one runs Photoshop Elements 11 and the new one runs Photoshop Elements 13. I had backed up the catalog from the old PC onto an external hard drive. Based on another forum entry, it seemed as simple as restoring the catalog once I had installed V13. However, when I opened Elements 13 for the first time the File-Restore Catalog command is greyed out. What am I supposed to do?

sjbsf61 a écrit:
I was unable to fix the problem per your suggestions as the Preferences menu is also grayed out and re-installing the SW did not fix anything. Any other ideas? Do I actually have to have at least one photo already in a catalog to import something? Could that be the problem?
No, you can import picture files in an empty catalog.
Sorry, but I can't see why your Elements version has those basic tools greyed out...
Could you try install your old PSE11 version on the new computer and try a restore ?
Anyway, that would be useful. There are dropped features in the new version and you might want to keep the old one : 32 bits plug-ins, video projects...

Catalog functions and wildcards

I'm having a problem with Oracle ODBC drivers version 8.1.7.3 and newer including the 9i drivers.
Specifically I'm calling the SQLTables catalog function and passing CD_AIRE% for the table name and getting O rows returned. There is a table named CD_AIRE0 in the database. I do get one row if I specify CD_AIRE0 for the tablename. The wildcard code worked correctly and returned one row with the 8.1.7.2 driver. The wild card issue may apply to other catalog functions as well.
Is this the way you'd expect it to operate? If not, is a fix planned?
