Save Catalog and Tags etc,as I want to uninstall PSE6, then re-install

I have just used the "Backup and Restore" in Pse 6 and backedup to an external F drive.But I didn;t put it into a special folder. Will I have trouble Restoring it, when I re-install pse6 back on the computer. Will it restore the catalog etc as it was before, tagged and catagorized? I have about 10.000 photos in the catalog..    Or do you suggest I use the "Backup and Restore" function again, only this time creating a folder for it..before sending it to the external F drive.   I have plenty of room on the external drive.   I look forward to a response
                                                                                  Thanks Pattie.
If the 2nd option is the way to go, I will then have to delete the first backup from Ex F drive, how will I know what to delete. How will I recognize it, as the EX F drive is structured to backup  other files outside of PSE6.

Thanks di,
          but do you mean I can uninstall pse than reinstall pse, and all my catagorized and tagged photos will remain the same.
Also the reason I want to uninstall both pse and premier elements, and a few other things is, as recently I tried to delete a few files I thought were not needed, I think I deleted something important, because I could not get just the organizer to open.  I have since been able to open it by renaming it from thumb.5.cache to old.5.cache.  But since then a few more problems have arisen. Like when using Premier el 4 to make a movie, it's very slow. and not recognizing myDVD burner .  It has more in it's name now. Like HL-DT-ST  DVDRAM  GH20NS10  ATA Device.  I'm sure it didn't have the DVDRAM written there before.  When I go to Burn to Disk it won't recognize either the DVD drive or the Inserted DVD.    Everything has changed so I though I would remove both programs completly from computer then re-install them to see if that may help

    That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

  • I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories etc. I want to format it and use it on my IMAC for backup but I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

    I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories copied to it etc. I want to use it on my IMAC for backup. I see it on my my IMAC . I can open files etc.  But I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. I don't care if I lose current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

    You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
    If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

  • I have updated my computer to iTunes 10.5 and my iPhone 3Gs to OS 5 and it has wiped my music, photos and video etc.  I want to load my data from my wifes computer and it refuses because that computer does not have OS 5..Help

    I wanted to upgtade my iPhone software to Ver5 but it said I had to upgrade iTunes to Ver10.5.  Once the updates were complete I saw that all my music,photo' and video etc had been erased from both my iTunes AND my iPhone!!!!
    I tried connecting to my wifes computer and her iTunes in order to back up my music etc and it will not allow it and states that my iPhone needs iTumes Ver10.5!!
    This is very inconvenient and I am scared that if I update my wifes computer to Ver 10.5 we will lose that data also and as her phone is an older 2G iPhone, Ver10.5 may not work there!!
    How can I get her music etc onto my iPhone 3Gs Ver5 as ALL of my data is now lost?

    i had the same problem but i just got a new video converter and made it convert videos to ipod/iphone format and then put them into itunes. i would suggest GOM encoder as the encoder can convert them and then once they're finished converting, put them automatically into your itunes for you. from there you can just sync them to your ipod.

  • Elements 6 - Recovering catalog and tags

    I needed to redo my machine so I lost everything locally.  Luckily, I was able to make a ghost image of my machine before wiping it clean.
    My question is, since reloading elements 6, I have to tags and no catalog.  I would prefer to somehow recover the data from the backup but I'm not sure what files to bring over.
    Any suggestions on the best way to do this?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the tip!!!
    I was able to do it (mostly) but it didn't go as smoothly as possible.  But I figured I would just document what I did.
    Prior to me resetting my computer to the factory settings I was able to get a ghost image.
    After the 'refresh' I installed elements 6, restored the photo's and imported them into elements only to find that the catalog wasn't the 'old' catalog.
    Sooooo,
    I deleted ALL of the photos from the catalog.  I was able to find the catalog file you mentioned and restored it from the ghost image.
    Now, the catalog had all of my  tags, albums, etc, but it displayed no images.  (Just the blank boxes...over 3,000 of them.)
    So, thinking I was being clever I deleted all of these from the catalog.
    Now, all I needed to do was find all the pictures again and load them into the catalog.  The pictures had the tags connected to them so everything seemed to import fine.
    I guess a round about way to do it (backing up the catalog prior would have been ideal) but finally got this thing back to the way it was prior to me having system problems.
    Thanks for all of the help.

  • There used to be a feature on the 'back' arrow; a small tiny down click arrow where i could choose a specific recent page to go back to. it saves hitting and reloading old pages i want to skip. what can i do now?

    at the top left corner of the tool bar, there is a 'back' arrow and a 'forward' arrow. before the latest software upgrade to firefox, i used a teeny tiny 'down' arrow that was to the right of the 'forward' arrow. when i clicked on the tiny 'down' arrow, it showed me a list of all the pages that had recently been opened; not just a website i might have been visiting, but all the pages i had navigated to on that website. i used the 'down' arrow as a shortcut to get back to a specific page which out having to click the 'back' arrow like ten times or more. i would really, really, really like for you to put that feature back, or tell me what i can do instead. thanks.

    You're welcome.

  • I'm trying to decide what to buy either air port or time capsule. I want a hard drive to save my pictures documents etc. but I want to be able to delete it off my computer but it still stay on my hard drive any advice?

    need to decide what to get for a hard drive

    Any hard disk drive in a USB enclosure will work with either the Time Capsule or the Extreme.
    Don't use Time Machine for archival purposes - that's not what it is designed to do. It's strictly a backup utility.

  • If I purchase an gaming app from the App Store but later want to uninstall it can i reinstall it again or does it disappear.

    I want to purchase an gaming app from the appstore. However if i install it and later want to install another app or application from elsewhere do I get to keep the app or does it disappear. So would I need to re-purchase the app or does it stay in a purchased section so you can install, uninstall and reinstall etc when you want.
    Thank You

    Once it is installed you should have no reason to uninstall it.   
    However, if you, accidentally or on purpose uninstall it, as a paid app you should be able to reinstall.     But having said that, it would probably depend on whether that app was still available in your country's App Store.
    So better to just keep it.

  • I have got a 1500 Kinetic Systems CAMAC crate and 3922 controller. I want to use it with LabView inst

    alled in PCI-bus IBM PC, which does not have GPIB interface. Which way would be easier for developing my own instrument driver: a new GPIB controller + interface or 2915 Kinetic Sys. PCI-bus in-slot interface? Can the latter interface be used with LabView?
    Many thanks.
    Victor. I have got a 1500 Kinetic Systems CAMAC crate and 3932 controller. I want to use it with LabView installed in PCI-bus IBM PC, which does not have GPIB interface.

    I couldn't find an Instrument Driver for the 3932 crate controler. There is a driver for the 3988: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/9b2b33e1993d877786256436006ec498/045f8392cc4d1b01862568ab005fbb49?OpenDocument
    If you look at the driver it isn't too complex. Well ... actaully there are certain differences when using the 3988 GPIB controller that the driver takes care of that relate to correctly passing commands (FAN).
    If the 3922 controller is similar then maybe you can use the 3988 driver and modify it to meet your needs. I'm not familar with the 2915 Kinetic system so I'm not sure what would be easier.
    If you have a GPIB board, then you could try using the 3988 driver with your 3922 controller and see if you can modify the driver to get things to work.
    I
    've only used the 3988 and that was quite three years ago but it might be worth a try.
    Best of luck,

  • I need to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic and need to know if I must back up all my bookmarks to a disk first.

    I have had on-going problems with communication between my Lexmark X3650 printer/scanner/copier and my Dell Vostro PC. Dell has instructed me to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic to my PC. I need to know if I will lose my Firefox bookmarks when I do this (I am waiting for them to send me the Vista disk before I can re-install). Will my bookmarks be saved on Firefox? Will I have to re-load my Firefox browser? I am certainly no computer whiz buy I simply cannot afford to lose all these links (collegiate workbooks and course-work submission links etc.). HELP!

    You can backup the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager.
    You can export the bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file:
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
    You can also create a JSON backup:
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
    An HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup.<br />
    Restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks, so existing bookmarks are lost.<br />
    Importing an HTML backup will merge the imported bookmarks with existing bookmarks, so you do not lose the bookmarks that you already have, but you may get duplicate bookmarks if some already exist.

  • Cloning Snow Leopard machine and then re-installing Lion

    I just purchased a new Mac mini 2.3 ghz, i5, 2GB.  Tried using Migration Assistant and I had a number of broken permissions and the new Mac mini ran a lot slower than my old 2.16 ghz Imac.  The older machine is set up just like I want and runs fast enough for me at this point.  I was thinking of cloning the old machine, overwriting the disk on the new Mac mini and then figuring out how to reinstall Lion to upgrade the operating system back to Lion.  How would I go about getting Lion back on the new Mac mini at that point? Do I have to make a startup copy of it or would I be able to download it from Apple?

    I haven't been able to just download another copy of Lion for my MBP that came with it preinstalled, not considered a purchase for more downloads.
    This question has come up several times and it would be really helpful if you could figure out a way to download a "spare" without having to invoke the internet recovery thingy. I haven't been able to provide a definitive answer, so if you could investigate - possibly check with Apple - and then post the solution, it'd be great! (As an example: out of curiosity and because I have a Genius Bar appointment today and needed to reinstall 10.7.2 for that), I decided to test the USB thumb drive I made this weekend; I also wanted to see if it would work without being connected to the internet. Well, it doesn't - although I turned off WiFi, it turned it back on and downloaded "additional components" for about 15 minutes. Then it installed. When finished, I was only at 10.7, so the additional components were not updates and I had to go through Software Update.
    In any case, there simply has to be a way to reinstall without having internet access - what if you're traveling and/or have a dialup connection only (I heard of one download taking 18 hours). Not being able to reinstall "locally" is my biggest beef with this whole new way of doing things.
