Restoring catalogs to a new computer & version of Photoshop Elements

I have Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8 installed on my computer. The computer's operating system is 64 bit Windows 7.
I have an unresolved problem with printing new JPEG images in Photoshop Elements 8. If I don't adjust the date in the image file before I print Photoshop Element crashs. I have no issues with Premiere Elements. I have no problem printing JPEG images which are opened from a RAW edit. No time adjustment is necessary in that case.
This is not a question about the printing issue on which I've given up finding a fix. However, thanks to all who offered some ideas, though.
I've tried everything, including seeking help on the Adobe forum, but without success. I've decided on a drastic measure. I'm going to delete Photoshop Elements 8 from my computer, but not Premiere Elements 8 and delete all the photo images from the computer too. I've everything backed up. I hope that should leave me with a computer that has no trace of Photoshop Elements 8 or my photos. Then I'm going to install Elements 10 and restore my catalogs from my backup. Hopefully that will leave the printing problem behind.
Here is my question.
When I restore my catalogs to Photoshop Elements 10 will that procedure restore not only my images but also my albums & tags etc that I had created in version 8?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Ken,
Thank you very much for the reply. I'm relieved that the albums & tags are part of what I backed up so they'll be restored to Photoshop Elements 10.
I've looked at the Adobe document to which you gave me the link. Thanks for that too.
I have one final question that follows from the Adobe document that strictly relates to Premiere Elements 8 and not Photoshop Elements but I'll ask it in this forum anyway. If no one is sure I'll pose it in the Premiere Elements forum.
As part of the uninstalling of Photoshop Elements 8.0 the Adobe document refers to removing two folders. One is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0. The other is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements Organiser 8.0. If I remove the folder C:\Program files\Adobe\Elements Organiser 8.0 does that have any effect on Premiere Elements. I use Premiere Elements but I never use the Organiser with it?

Installing new Retail version of Photoshop Elements, receive Invalid Serial Number

Hi Everyone,
I purchased a new Box retail version of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 12 and before installing I am asked for the Serial Number. I enter it from the box but I get a message that says it is invalid serial number. How can that be if that is what is on the Box.
Thank you,
Danny

Hi Everyone,
I was able to solve it myself and in way should have provided more information. I was installing the software under the local Admin which in my Domain does not have internet access through our Proxy.
Once I logged on with my Domain Admin and tried to install the software, it worked with out problems. I was not aware that the computer needed access to the Internet to verify the Serial Number.
Thank you all for your time and assistance.
Regards,
Danny

Got a new computer, now adobe photoshop elements is having licensing issues. error code 150:30

Thats pretty much the jist of it. Im no computer wiz and all of the instructions for how to solve this problem are over my head. I don't know how to enter my start up library to delete certain files. Please help.

photoshop elements 8 - came with my wacom tablet back in 2011. And My new computer has os X yosemite - it was working on my macbook which had recently updated to OS X, but Im receiving error code 150:30 licensing has stopped working messages. I found a troubleshooting list on adobe help that was asking me to delete files in my start up library. It was very confusing. Im lost. I just want it to work again.

Moving the organizer catalog to a new computer

I am upgrading from Photoshop Elements 9 to version 12 and loading it onto a new computer running Windows 8.2. To move the Organizer Catalog I have tried several time to create a backup on an external hard drive from version 9 so i can restore it on the new computer with the upgraded software. Each time i run the backup the process stops and displays an error message "Error encountered while writing files". This occurs when the process is approximately 75% complete. There are 12,326 items in the catalog, the estimated "media size" needed it 142,891.30 MB, i have 339 GB of free space on the external hard drive. Any recommendations on how to proceed?

Hi,
Please try repairing and optimizing your catalog before taking backup.
You can do this by:
File > Manage Catalogs and click on Repair and Optimize buttons
Thanks,

Moving catalog to a new computer

I recently purchased a new computer, and I need to transfer my existing Lightroom (3.6) catalog to the new machine. I have installed Lightroom on the new machine, and have updated it to the same version as on the old machine. All my images are on an external drive that I can move to the new computer.
Can I simply export the existing catalog, move the hard drive, and import the catalog into the new instance of Lightroom on the new computer? Obviously, I want to retain al the keywords, develop adjustments, etc., that I had in the original catalog.
Thanks. Feel free to point me to an FAQ or other resource.
Thanks,
Dave

The link provided basically says the same thing, but if the images already exist on the external hard drive and the catalog on the internal hard drive then you can simply copy of their catalog without need of exporting. Exporting will work but your basically wanting to just recreate a copy of the existing catalog so it's easier just to copy it (assuming you have everything together (the catalog, the preview file and any catalog backups).
I can say from experience, I have seen people moving the catalog to a new computer who have had issues when they have tried to do it by exporting the catalog because they skip a step or forget setting or certain images. Spare yourself the trouble.
After you copy it back to the new computer you just need to relink the image folder to the external hard drive.

What is the best way to migrate PSE6 Catalog (Wxp) to new computer W7, PSE11?

What is the best way to migrate PSE6 Catalog (Wxp) to new computer W7, PSE11? Previous PSE6 recovery (Wxp) after a failed HD resulted in pictures showing but not opening due to connection issues. Had to restore pictures from backup and rebuild the catalog and albums. Found a third party fix afterwards that has no support past PSE8. Trying to make this migration to PSE11 painless.

That's a very common and classical situation :

Just make sure that your backup to the external drive is ok : you should find a 'backup.tly' file in the folder.
Use the PSE11 organizer to restore from the PSE7 backup : the first step restores all your media files, the second automatically does a catalog conversion to the PSE11 format.
Read the note in the above link about restoring from XP to ulterior Win OS. You can also restore to a 'custom' location. For instance in a 'C:\My new library' folder. Make sure that master folder is accessible to all users, and if you want, you can move the catalog (database) itself from that location to the default location : catalog manager, option to move catalogs to location accessible to all users.

How do I transfer my elements 8 catalog to a new computer?

I am using Elements 8. The program and catalog are located on the hard drive for my computer. Photos are stored on an external hard drive. I want to transfer my photoshop catalog to a new computer. How do I do this? I understand that I need to deactivate Elements 8 on the "old" computer before I load the program onto my new computer. How do I make sure that the catalog is not lost and transfers to the new computer? Thanks, DanOmaha

How can get 40,000 pix from old computer restored by Carbonite to new computer into PE 11 or 12?

I bought a new, faster, more storage Windows 8 computer.
I had 40,000 pix on old computer tagged with names, event, location, date with PE 11. Also several projects involving hundreds of pix.
Carbonite restored all files (250 gig) from old computer to new, and their tech support says they all are on the new computer.
I bought the new PE 12 and installed it on new computer. It has only found 4,000 pix. I don't at all like PE 12 after enjoying PE2-11 and managing all my pix with it. PE11 was clearer in the pix presentation.
Apparently when imported to the new computer, I lost the tags that went to events, location, and the person tags did not separate family from friends etc. I can't even find my projects.
I was so frustrated with PE12, that I installed PE11, but everytime I try to open the Organizer, it doesn't open.
Help. I am so frustrated. I am pretty sure before I made the transition that I had written all tags to files. When I put PE11 on the new computer, why won't it give me what I had on the old.
This is probably my 10th generation computer change, and I never had such problems before with PE.

I am using 10 and 11 instead of 11 and 12. I tried to go back and edit,
but couldn't figure out how. Sorry, typing errorC.

Installing a new version of Photoshop Elements

Should I uninstall my current version of Photoshop Elements (7) before installing my new version (9)?

I installed PSE9 without uninstalling 7. I can't explain how we did it but we have two catalogs now in 9. One is "My Catalog" which was the name for the catalog we have had since we started using PSE. We somehow created a new catalog "My Catalog-2012". It is shown as the Current Catalog in 9. When we downloaded some new pictures, they went into the new catalog. I have two questions:
1. There are pictures missing from the catalog we had in 7. In other words, 9 did not get all the pictures from 7. How do we get the missing ones?
2. Before we go any further, should we uninstall 9 and reinstall so that we don't have two catalogs? Or is there any issue in having two catalogs that have the same pictures (ignoring the new pictures we just downloaded)?
