Switching from Elements 6 to 2 - Vista Compatibility

After using Elements 6.0 for almost a year and only being half as productive, I want to switch back to Elements 2.0. However, I am
now using a Vista machine and receive an error message when opening the program: Could not start Adobe Photoshop because the volume
Windows is using for virtual memory does not have enough free space which could lead to stability problems.
I do not receive this error message with Elements 6.0 or InDesign CS3.
I was instructed by Adobe to install a patch for Elements 5.0. I attempted to install the patch, but it will not install because I do not have Elements 5.0.
All I want to do is to be able to use the program that I've used since 2003 to get tons of work done. That program is Elements 2.0
I want to use it on my Vista 32 machine.
What can I do to make Elements 2.0 capatible with Vista?
THANKS!

Everything you described: multiple cameras/a/v sync, export to self-contained QuickTime codecs and chapter markers are features available in Final Cut Pro X which sounds more like what you need.

I just found out about the switch from Elements to Adobe Revel. HELP

I do not want to spend any money on something I rarely use. I also do not want to grant "rights" to any person or corporation for my family pictures.
Will I need to delete my account?.

Hi. There is not a switch from Elements. The switch is from Photoshop.com to Revel. Elements will work as it always did with the exception of communicating with Photoshop.com sharing and storage since that service is being discontinued.
In additon, Revel is free as long as you don't want to upload more than 50 files a month.
Check out these FAQ's and try Revel. After that, if you do not want your account, we can delete it.

Switching from Windows to Mac - Drive Compatibility

I'm finally getting back to Mac after a 15 year break using Windows.
My question relates to all my existing files. I have an external drive that I store all of my data on. It includes my ITUNES files, my photos etc. The drive actually hangs off of my Airport Extreme N Router.
When I get my MAC, will I be able to access those files? Will this be read/write? Even if it is just once so that I can copy them off of my external drive and onto my new Mac harddrive? Sorry, being in the Windows world I'm hung up on always thinking that things are incompatible. Is the drive formatted in a way that I can access?
I plan to use Boot Camp and/or Parellels as well - a couple of nagging work applications with no Mac version. When running Windows, will I still be able to access files from that drive as well? For instance, if I continue to run Windows Office while in the Windows environment, can I read/write files to that drive still without disturbing files that the Mac OS and applications will be accessing? Or will the drive be eitehr pure "windows or mac" ?
I'd still like the external drive to be accessable from the other Windows machine in the house as well until I switch that one out....can that happen?
What about my Apple TV which I haven't installed yet. Will it be able to access my photo files, etc. on this drive?
This is my last hold up to switching. I just dont want to dive in and find myself without any of my old data.
I know the answer is probably easier to explain than I'm asking. I just can't get my head wrapped around this for some reason. Thanks in advance.
Summary:

Hello Atlantax,
I can't answer all of your questions, but some.
my photos etc.
Yes. As you know, all files are associated in Windows by their extension. With OS X, the Mac is also now like this. Though it does double up with the older Type/Creator codes of OS 9 and earlier. So all you your .jpg, .tif, .eps, .ai and other formats will all be easily recognized by your Mac counterpart applications like Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, etc.
Not that it will be perfect. On the Mac, while all .eps files for example, like Windows, have the same extension no matter which app created them, the Mac also assigns Type/Creator codes to each file so it knows which app it belongs to. So unlike Windows, which can have .eps assigned to only one application (meaning an Illustrator .eps will try to open in Photoshop if that's the app the .eps extension is assigned to), this doesn't happen on the Mac. An .eps created in Photoshop will open in Photoshop, Illustrator in Illustrator, etc., when you double click on them.
But you will have an issue with the files you copy over since they will have no Type/Creator codes. As will .jpg, .tif and all other image formats. If there's more than one app that can open them, you'll have the same issue with those older files as you do in Windows. They will simply try to open in the whatever the default app is in the LaunchServices database.
You could get around this somewhat by assigning a Photoshop .eps to Photoshop. But then OS X will behave just like Windows and try to open all .eps files in Photoshop, ignoring the Type/Creator codes.
Will this be read/write?
If it's FAT16 or FAT32, it will be read/write. If it's NTFS, it will be read only.
When running Windows, will I still be able to access files from that drive as well?
Yes. It would be best to have the external formatted as FAT32 so both the Mac and Windows can access it natively. What the Mac will do in that case is copy two files to the external drive for each item you copy over. Say the name of the file is KittyCat.tif. It will put these two files on the external drive:
KittyCat.tif
._KittyCat.tif
Since the second file starts with a period, it will be invisible in OS X. But it's important because it holds the resource fork information of a Mac drive that can't normally exist on a FAT32 drive. So when you copy it back, OS X will automatically rejoin the data fork information (visible file) with the resource fork information (Type/Creator codes, time stamps, etc.). You'll see those ._xxx files from within Windows, so don't just start deleting them. Either that, or use OS X's Disk Utility to partition the drive into two parts. One as Mac OS Extended (HFS+), and the other as FAT32. Then save your files on each partition as per the OS they belong to.
I'd still like the external drive to be accessible from the other Windows machine in the house as well until I switch that one out....can that happen?
Yes, if it's FAT32, or split into separate Mac/Windows partitions as described above. Unless you've got MacOpener on your Windows machine, it simply won't access the Mac formatted partition. NTFS will also work, but you'll only be able to read from the Mac.
Also, as Gnarlodious mentions, the Mac will let you use some characters in file names that Windows doesn't allow. I'm sure you're already aware of these, but here's a list anyway.
These are all characters reserved by the system in DOS.
? [ ] / \ = + : ; " , * |
In the Windows Joliet file system, these characters are not allowed.
? / \ : " * |
Hope this helps.

Elements 9 Switching from Windows to Mac - two big issues

I've just started looking into the process of switching from Elements on Windows to Elements on the Mac. For the most part, the two versions appear to be quite similar in looks and functionality. There are however two major gaps (in my opinion) in functionality that really make me question whether I'll move forward with Elements on the MAC. Hopefully these are planned enhancements and I was hoping that someone would have some insight on the issue.
First, there is no EXPORT feature that I can see on the Mac version. I used this all the time on Windows(Organizer->File->Export as New File). A huge gap if one uses the product for building personal photo websites.
Second, and maybe I just missed some setting, but the SAVE behavior when you EDIT photos places both the original and Edited version of the photo in the default Save Location as indicated in the product Preferences. So what I have seen is that it takes both the originals and edited versions and moves them. Again, this seems to be a major difference from how the Windows versions handles this. Seems as if the default should be to leave the photo's where they are.
If anyone has a solution to these issues I'd appreciate the help.

First of all, I know for a fact there was another user on a Windows platform indicating Shutterfly was an option.
Secondly, right on Elements' website it indicates it is partnered with Kodak, Shutterfly and even Costco (now Costco, I think you need to buy the program right at Costco warehouse if I understand the disclaimer, which would mean a trial, downloaded or purchased anywhere else would not have Costco listed as an option). http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/family/partneroffers/

Converted to Lightroom from Elements 5

I installed the trial version from a link found in a message on this forum and imported from Elements 5. Luckily, I only had something less than 3000 images loaded into Elements and hadn't done serious tagging on most of them. I decided to use this trial version of Lightroom because I only decided yesterday to switch from Elements to Lightroom and ordered the shipped version so, being impatient, I would have to go with the trial version tomorrow anyway.
How did the import go? Well, not perfectly. It went well until the end when Lightroom crashed just after it finished importing. I wasn't even touching the computer when it did that. However, when I brought it up it looked OK.
For some reason it decided to have some of my keyword tags nested and some not. In other words, the same tag would appear nested under something and not nested. I had no idea how to merge tags (surely this is something one would want to do?) so I think I ended up losing some tagging, but I can live with that. Some other tags had lost their hierarchical structure but at least weren't duplicated.
Folders also had lost their structure but that looks to be just an issue of dragging and dropping to fix it. They aren't physical folders in Lightroom.
My most serious issue for me is the capture date. Elements supported not knowing the day and/or month. They are coming in here differently. July 1952 is June 30, 1952. I had previously checked and Exifer does display just what I entered in Elements: if only the year, then only the year, if the month and year, then the month and year. This is not coming over in Lightroom.
I have thousands of slides we are scanning and I almost never know the exact day any slide was taken. I'm lucky to know the month. I was overjoyed that the capability existed in Elements to specify what you do know and not have to make up more that you don't know. I don't know how that is actually stored in the exif info, but like I said, Exifer did understand it.
Any suggestions about what to do? Elements can't simply have used the last day of the month before or the last day of the year before because surely you could specify those dates explicitly.
I'm going to have to get used to working with Lightroom. I was able to do things pretty quickly in Elements. Lightroom has a lot of stuff displayed on both sides and I have to figure out how to move around quickly. In paricular, the metadata area doesn't stay put to type in location, for example. The use more metadata fields and not just tags is one of the major reasons I am switching to Lightroom. I have lots of tags as well. I guess recent keywords are going to be very important.
So now I have to go read the help, which so far doesn't seem very helpful.
I had played around with Beta 4 so I know something about Lightroom.

Can't be physical folders because they came in structured incorrectly compared to my disk. OK, they are physical folders in the sense that they contain what the corresponding physical folder contains but they do not need to have the same structure as your physical folder system.
I was able to drag a couple of folders into the same relationship as my physical structure and it didn't do anything to my actual file system. Hum. I'm going to have to play around with this. The help is not very good.
Version sets did not survive together in any way. Stacks seem to be stacked. I had more version sets, though. I guess I stack them.

I switched from vista and lost all my music and stuff I can't get it back nor can i get all my purchesed items back. Is there anyway I can??

I really need this fixed its driving me crazy. I wish iTunes had a way of taking all the songs from the iPod and just downloading them to the itunes without having to delete all that is on there. I really want my Purchesed Items back. I wasted probably over 100$ on this....

Okay, doing my best to ignore the EXTREMELY annoying font you chose to use.
Is there a reason why you did not create a backup of your media and other important files before switching from Vista?
It is the users responsibility to back up their media, it is NOT Apple's responsibility.
When you purchase CD's or DVD's, if you lose them, you repurchase them. Same deal with digital media.
If you have a backup of your media, simply copy the files from the backup to your computer.
If you still have access to your old computer, simply copy the files from it to your new computer.

When i switched from windows vista to windows 7 my songs on itunes dont play fully they are cut off even on ipod..any suggestions?

When I switched from windows vista to windows 7 on a new computer my ipod doesnt play songs from itunes fully it cuts them off before they play out entirely. Any suggestions?

Delete the current copy, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
While downloading click the download icon and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.

If you use the organizer, you need to buy the boxed version of PSE 12. You can usually find it at big box stores and online retailers for less than adobe's upgrade price, if you shop around. You need the boxed version because you get a serial number that works on both platforms, and you will need to install PSE 12 in windows first, upgrade your catalog, then make a full backup to a removable drive and restore from that to the mac, after installing PSE 12 there.
If you don't use organizer, it doesn't matter.

I am looking to make the switch from pc to mac and have been eyeing the MBP 13". I would like to know whether it is fine to add RAM and SSD myself? any compatibility or warranty problems? what brand/type of RAM and SSD is the best fit? thank you.

I'm possibly wrong here but I suspect opening a brand new MBP to add parts yourself will void the warranty. It is probably in the small print. I certainly would not risk it for an expensive Apple product.
Some (Windows) laptops have easy access to memory and disk slots that do not necessitate taking the complete back cover off. However, Apple does not make life easy for you.
However, if you are going for a 'used' machine it is probably worth a try.
Not possibly, definitely wrong, Ram and Hard Drive are considered user replaceable and will not void the warranty if changed.

Switching from Organizer to Editor in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Adobe Premiere Elements 12

Can not switch from organizer mode to editor mode in both adobe photoshop elements and adobe premiere elements 12.

Convert the songs to .wav format using Apples instructions here - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550 and import the .wav file to your slide show. Note this may not work if they are DRM protected (that would be stuff purchased from Apple prior to spring 2007).

I upgraded from elements 10 to 13 today. When PSE 13 was installed, I uninstalled PSE 10. I also own Lightroom 4.4. However, I used to be able to switch from LR4, to PSE 10 now I cannot switch to PSE 13. (Photo Edit In Edit in Photoshop) is grey. Why?

You might also ask for help in the Lightroom forum.
What I have found is that when I upgraded from PSE12 to 13, my Lightroom 5.6 still selected PSE12 in the list of external editors. I had to use the preferences menu to select the right PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 13 folder. I got a message stating that Photoshop Elements was already selected as external editor. In that message box, there is a button with the option to 'change anyway', which I did. Now LR correctly opens PSE13 when I choose Edit in Elements.

Can not switch from organizer mode to editor mode in adobe premiere elements 12.

After successfully installing and registering my new adobe premiere elements 12 and had created the organizer, I still can't switch from organizer mode to editor mode to edit a file (photo).

Alfredo Agorilla
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to 12.1 Update via a project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
You wrote
I still can't switch from organizer mode to editor mode to edit a file (photo).
Just how are you trying to do that...
a. Are you in the Elements Organizer 12 workspace, right clicking the photo's thumbnail, and selecting Edit with Premiere Elements Editor
or
b. Something else.
Is there an error message that results when you try to switch "from organizer mode to editor mode" and cannot?
When you mention "....to edit a file (photo)", I wonder if you are not trying to get to Photoshop Elements 12 Editor, not Premiere Elements 12 Editor, from the Elements Organizer 12.
Please supply a step by step of what you are doing so that we can be sure that we are in sync on the details that we are using to work through your issue.
Thank you.

Elements 11: switched from Windows to Mac need help w/ serial

My friend upgraded, and no longer uses her Elements 11. She wants to give it to me. However she uses Windows, and I have a Mac. After I downloaded the program and it prompted me to enter the Serial Number, it says "This serial number is not valid for this product" - after some google research I believe it is because the serial number for Windows isn't compatible for Mac.
My question is, is it possible to find the serial number on this product that's compatible for Mac (like, do these products come with two different serial numbers; one for Windows and one for Macs)? Or is it just not going to work on a Mac at all? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

mrjayd, I switched from a PC to a G5 about 6 weeks ago & had the same problem. I used iPodRip which you can find at versiontracker.com. It worked like a charm, recovered playlists, playcounts, everything. Good Luck!

Most pics blocked on sites/programs. I can't open some programs that Explorer opens. I would sure appreciate any help!!!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases. Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
