Updating from Elements 3 to 9 on different computer

I just purchased and installed Photoshop Elements 9 on a new computer. I have Elements 3 on an old computer (which I fear may die any day now).  Is there a way to transfer everything to the new computer or am I going to have to copy the photos and recreate the catalog?  I have a full backup of Elements 3 on an external drive and am hoping I could just attach that to the new one and somehow import that.
Thanks for any advice.

Simply use the backup/restore method.
- Be sure the catalog is clean (reconnect, repair, optimize...)
- backup from the Organizer menu to an external media (USB external drive for instance)
- Install Elements on the new computer
- Do a restore to a custom location. That means you create a new folder and when you do the restore, you state that folder in the destination path.
All files will be restored and if necessary, the catalog will be converted to the new Elements version format.

  • Just updated from elements 11 to 13. When I try to use Levels in Elements 13. I click on the slider with my bamboo pen and nothing happens for a few seconds, sometimes not at all. This worked fine in Elements 11.

  • Updating to the new OS on a different computer

    I want to update to the new OS, but I don't have the computer I usually sync my iPhone with. Will I loose all my apps, music, etc if I update it on a different computer?

    There are about 120 irreplaceable picture from our trip through the National Parks last summer.  They were taken on the mini.  When I updated the OS I discovered that only a few of the pictures I took long before our trip were on the mini.  All the albums were gone and there were no pictures from our trip.  I remembered that we had an I cloud account and went to my PC, opened the Icloud account and there were my pictures - relief!  However I wanted to get them back on my mini so I could show them to friends using "mirror"  So you now know - as Paul Harvey would have put it -  "the rest of the story" why I wanted to get mirror back.  Is there a way to do this restore without losing my pictures?

    I updated my ipod touch 2G to 4.2.1 on a different computer, but now it won't work on my old computer.  How do I fix it so I can get it to work on my old computer? Previously it was running on 4.1

    To recognize your iPod touch on your Mac, AMDS has to be installed.

  • If I update from Elements V. 7 to V. 13 will it carry over tags?

    OK, I'm thinking of upgrading my version of Photoshop Elements from Ver. 7 to the current Ver. 13. But, I'm concerned that I don't want to loose the tags, etc. for the 4000+ photos in my catalog. Will version 13 keep my tags?

    No applications will be removed in your upgrade - however, incompatible products will no longer work. If you have Office 2004 or earlier, you will need to upgrade. Office 2008 or 2011 will work.

  • I just updated from Elements 9 to Elements 13 on my new iMac.  I can't open from iPhoto

    When I select a photo in iPhoto and pick edit in an external editor, Photoshop won't open.  It use to with Elements 9.  I have Elements selected in the iPhoto Preferences.

    Yes, but the odds are that you chose the logical file instead of the correct one. The actual editor is hidden away inside the support files folder for PSE 13 and the file at the top level of the Applications>PSE 13 folder is just an alias to the Welcome Screen. You really want this one:

  • Can I update my phone with iOS5 on a different computer than i normally sync my phone to?

    My personal computer had some issues a while back and i cant get it to update to iTunes 5. So I updated my work computer and i am wondering...
    Can I update my iphone 4 with iOS 5 on my work computer, realizing it will erase my phones music, etc; and then resync my updated iOS 5 phone to my personal computer to update my media files? Will my phone keep iOS 5 and resync all my media?
    Thanks

    The computer you normally sync to has all your data on its hard drive. Any other computer does not, and that is what it will sync to your phone: nothing.
    One phone: one computer. It's a symbiosis sort of thing.

  • Update Genius info while connected to a different computer?

    So I'm spending the year over seas and I brought my iPod touch(gen 1) along for the ride. only problem is, I can't sync it with the computer in my room due to the fact that it doesn't have my music on it. Therefore i can't use Genius. Is there any way i can update genius on my iPod without syncing?
    P.S. I don't really want to pay money to but a program to move my songs off of my iPod (or jailbreak it)

    unable to mount
    that is a hard drive error msg, as are the other msgs you listed... not a good sign.....
    you are going to need to restore/reformat the ipod:

  • Transferring Photoshop Elements 11 files to a different computer

    My son recently bought Photoshop Elements 11 and installed it on his computer.  I would like to transfer my catalog of pictures to him and have it look just like it does on my computer with Album titles, keywords, etc.  When we tried to do this by using a backup of my Photoshop Element files, it transferred the pictures and keywords but not the album titles or album organization.  Also, the keywords were not in the same keyword categories that I had set up on my computer.  Is it possible to do what I want, or do the pictures have to all be reorganized and put into albums again on his computer?

    If you used the organizer's backup command (not another form of backing up) and then did a restore (not just a copy) to the new computer, you should have everything you had on the old one.

  • Update from ATP timeseries indicator different values in APO DB & Livecache

    Hello experts,
    Our Basis team has ran the Livecache and DB consistency check (OM17) transaction and all the inconsistencies has been removed,but we are encounturing an error "The update from ATP time series indicator has different values in APO DB and Livecache " in 000 version. I have checked the version managemet for 000 and under ATP tab the option Update from ATP time series is unchecked. Can you please let me know the reason for this error and what else i.e. the configuration settings i have to check to wipe out this error.
    Quick help is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Dhanunjay.

    Hello Kaushik,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The indicator update update from ATP time series is only set during the creation of active version for product availability check time series update, but we are not using any ATP time series.
    How ever it's unchecked for active version 000, but when i checked for the entries in the table /SAPAPO/APO01 there the ATP time series activation indicator is set. Iam confused  about the differences, i guess this might be causing the error,if so i have to alter the table or delete the version and recreate. Can you please guide me which would be the better option.
    Thanks.

  • How do I transfer my songs that I downloaded from another computer onto a different computer?

    I have an Ipod Classic 160GB. I have all my songs downloaded from an Itunes library on a different computer. I want to know how I can take all the songs that I downloaded from that computer onto a new Itunes library for this computer. This is a Mac I dont know what brand its just a Mac.

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Once you get the domain.sites file copied from your old Mac to the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your new Mac follow this:
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Time Machine: restore file to different computer

    I would like a recommendation on how to restore a file from the Time Share volume of one mac to a different mac.
    I have 2 machines: macbook pro & mac air both both running latest mountian lion.  Each keeps its own time share volume on a network server.  The two have some sync'd shares, but in general, they are not fully sync'd.
    the macbook pro is in the shop for repair for a few days and I'd like to fetch some of it's files from its time machine backup onto the macair.  I'm a little reluctant to simply fire up Time Machine on the mac air and respecify it's storage volume to be the macbook pro's volume.  I'm concerned about internal configuration changes Time Machine might make to the mac air, including making changes that might cause it to have to do a full (not differential) back up when I reconfigure the mac air's Time Machine to use it's own backup volume after I'm done getting files from the macbook pro backup volume.
    In addition to simply getting access to some of the files of the mac in the shop, I want to get the mac calendar from that machine and use it on the mac air.  I understand that this may be somewhat trickier.

    Not sure how this article applies to my problem Eric.  I simply want to get a few files from the backup volume of a different computer, so that I can work on them while the other computer is being repaired.  The article you cite talks about restoring a full backup to a different computer.
    I think I did find a way to do what I want.  I'm able to log in to the network backup server and access the shared volume where the time share backup image I'm interested is stored (as a sparse image).  I'm able to open the sparse image as a volume on my desktop and have access to the files inside.  I should be able to copy these onto the operable laptop (the macair) without upsetting the backup image, so that's what I intend to do.  If and when I see that that works, I'll note it in this thread

  • LR5 crashes when trying "Update Photoshop Elements Catalog" from PSE13

    LR5 crashes after approx 3 minutes when trying "Update Photoshop Elements Catalog". I use PSE13, optimized and repaired several times. I get approx 10000 out of 30000 items into LR5 from PSE13

    Per the user's guide, from the Library Module I: File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog
    This brings up a dialog box that shows the most recently upgraded PSE catalog. Then, to quote the user's guide, "To choose a different PSE catalog, click the Elements drop-down menu."
    There is no "Elements drop-down menu" within the dialog box to click on. The closest thing is an expand triangle opposite "Catalog info," but when clicked, that only displays more detail about the source PSE catalog I have already upgraded. There doesn't seem to be any way to browse to or select a second PSE catalog — which is what I'm trying to do.

  • My AppStore id is my apple id n password which is good when purchasing. But when I am updating from update option it ask for a password. The user id I see there is not mine, it's different. How do I change that to my apple Id? Please help me resolve .....

    My AppStore id is my apple id n password which is good when purchasing. But when I am updating from update option it ask for a password. The user id I see there is not mine, it's different. How do I change that to my apple Id? Please help me resolve  this issue. I have tried resetting it but nothing... Either I'm doing something wrong or....

    I believe the issue is with the Apple ID that was used to purchase the App. If you download an App that was purchased under a different Appple ID then all updates will also be linked to the original purchaser's Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the the same ID as your iTunes, iCloud, etc. Some folks use different ID for the different Apple sites. No need for that One ID for all Apple Sites, and if someone else buys an App using their ID and they(you) download that App onto your device and that App requires an update it will ask for the purchasers Apple ID. This happens a lot when folks sell their iPad or give it to someone else and leave some purchased(free) Apps on the iOS device. You cannot change the original ID the App was purchased under. A suggestion would be if someone else has an App that you like but do not want to pay for use their ID or in the future have them gift the App to you.

    I installed elements 12 on a Win 8.1 computer and moved all my photos from my old XP machine.  I updated to elements 12.1.  Now, many/most of my photos will not open because I do not have "permission" to open the files.  How do I fix this so I can work with MY photos?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?
