Upgrading 6 to 9 problem converting Catalog

I have tried repair, but Photoshop 9 still does not convert it.

From what I've read here, I suspect this are certain images which are referenced and separate from iPhoto library which are not linked
That's it exactly.
There really is no good way forward now. If you still have the other machine I would rebuild the v6 library there - get it working first. Then copy the repaired version over.

  • Problems converting catalog from PSE8 to PSE 12

    I've upgraded from PSE8 to PSE12.  I've just tried converting one of my 10 or so catalogs - all are stored in custom locations on an external drive, since the total file size for all my images is larger than my C: drive's capacity - with awful results:
    a.     there is now a copy of my folder structure and all files from the catalog in a folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs.  Not at all what I want, and if I convert the rest of my catalogs it will fail when C: drive becomes full.
    b.     my converted catalog has no ratings on any images.
    c.     my tags and tag heirarchy have disappeared.
    Each of these issues is completely unacceptable.  There are literally thousand of hours of work in all my catalogs, which I cannot repeat.  How can I convert my previous catalogs to PSE12 versions, retaining all ratings, tags and tag structure, and without duplicating every image file?

    I had already tried optimizing the catalog, repariing the catalog, re-indexing visual simularity data and making sure there were no missing files.  Basically everything I found at: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/common-catalog-issues-upgrade-elements.html
    I also used the Mac OS X Disk Utility to make sure there were no disk errors.
    I have Parallels Desktop running on my Mac so I installed the Windows version of PSE12 and used it to convert the catalog of 63,000 pictures in under an hour.  That put the catalog in a new location so I just moved the catalog from the Windows location to the Mac location.  Now PSE12 on the Mac can access the new catalog and is working as expected.

  • Cant  convert catalog?

    Trying to convert Photoshop Starter Edition 3.2 to PSE8. Getting '...Catalog corrupted...try repairing with original program...'  Linked missing files in PSE and tried again. Same error. Will PSE* convert PSE3.2 catalogs and COLLECTIONS to PSE8?  Any suggestions on resolution of error?
    Thanks..

    Many people have problems converting catalog from early versions of PSE to PSE 8.  See this FAQ for troubleshooting conversion problems:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Problems_converting_catalo gs
    A successful conversion will transfer all the information in your catalog, including the collections (with the exception of some kinds of projects).

  • Problems converting / importing PSE9 catalog into LR4

    Im having problems converting / importing my PSE 9 photos into LR4.  I went through the "File / Upgrade PS..." without success.  It seems to work...ie LR4 closes down and then creates a new catalog but then a box appears saying that the photos could not be imported because they are missing or damaged.  I then thought that my PSE 9 catalog is not set up right BUT LR4 tell me that the 27023 photos could not be imported for the reason stated.  In other words LR does see the PSE catalog because it give the correct amount of photo's.  I then did a small test by dragging some photos from my PSE 9 into LR4 and that seems to work.  All the keyword tags move across. Is there a problem or dont I understand the process?

    If I remember properly, it will not be an onerous task. What Exiftool will do is transfer the notes to some other metadata field that LR uses ... and I believe it can be done as a batch job, thus one execution of Exiftool does this for your entire photo collection (assuming its all under one parent folder).
    Here is the method (see post #12 in this thread): http://forums.adobe.com/message/2148552#2148552

  • Problem converting pse 6 catalog to pse 7

    I am a longtime pse user, I started with Album.  I have photos from a trip that I had in pse 6 on my laptop that I want to get into pse 7 on my desktop.  I have not found a lossless way to merge catalogs in pse so I have three catalogs.  I successfully converted my desktop catalog from pse 5 to pse 7 with no problems.  I backed up two catalogs under pse 6 on my laptop and restored them to my desktop system. I tried to covert each one but the conversion failed.  I found that I had two eSATA drives with the same volume ID so I backed up my desktop catalog (the photos resided on one of the drives) and reformatted one drive.  Pse was still confused so I reformatted the other drive as well.  Pse 7 now runs fine for my former pse 5 desktop catalog which I’ll call catalog A.  I restored the first of my pse laptop catalogs, I’ll call it catalog B, and after multiple attempts got it to convert by restoring it with pse 7, the automatic conversion after the restore was successful.  I did the same with the remaining pse 6 backup file, call it catalog C, restoring it with pse 7 but the conversion failed. I did catalog repair but it found no errors, did ‘repair anyway’.  Convert failed again.  I optimized it, convert failed again.  I checked the convert log and it says the catalog copy failed.  The log showed that pse tried to copy the catalog to the location of my photos for catalog A to a file named the same as my catalog C name.  The last line in the log is - caught exception "catalog copy failed".  This implies to me that it never got far enough to encounter a ‘poison file’.
    I have run out of ideas and any help would be appreciated.  My last choice option is to use ‘get photos’ to get the catalog C photos into catalog B to get everything running under pse 7 rather than under multiple products.
    I am going to make another forum entry but it may matter here that the catalogs of catalog B and C are in the same directories that I restored their photos to and are only found when I ask to find ‘custom location’ directories.  The psedbtool program never sees them.

    I created a new folder ‘Black Sea and Spitsbergen CATALOG’ and moved the catalog and thumbnail files to it.  Pse 6 opened it and displayed the thumbnails faster than usual.  When I do the catalog option Black Sea and Spitsbergen CATALOG shows as the current catalog.  I did the reconnect all missing files and got the no missing files message.  Did the repair catalog and got the no errors message did repair anyway.  No errors found, I did the reconnect again, no missing files.  I closed pse 6.  Opened pse 7 file>catalog>convert>find more catalogs and pointed to the folder ‘Black Sea and Spitsbergen CATALOG’.
    Pse found the catalog, I highlighted it and clicked on convert.  I got the conversion completed successfully message! Clicked OK>done>open and the converted catalog opens.  Catalog manager now shows both catalogs under the Custom Location radio button, fantastic!  I did a reconnect and got the no missing files message.
    Ok; so I think I learned the following:
    1)      The current catalog name is determined by the name of the folder it resides in.
    2)      The catalog and thumbnail files need to be in the same folder.
    3)      It works better if the catalog and thumbnail files are in a separate folder from the pictures.  I suspect performance is improved because it finds the thumbnail file faster; I have 21,000 photos in the catalog.
    I suspect this could also solve my catalog move problem because pse may be moving the contents of the folder where the catalog resides.  I am going to try it, will post the result under that discussion.
    If you would be kind enough to confirm the above three points I would appreciate it.  I will keep this open for your reply.
    Thank you again, it seems simple now that I understand a bit more, thanks for your time and for sharing your knowledge.

  • Failed to convert Catalog (PS Album 2.0 to PSE 7.0)

    When attempting to convert My Catalog from Photoshop Album 2 to PSE 7, the following prompt is reported "The conversion operation failed. try repairing the catalog with the software that created it and retry conversion"
    I have attempted to repair/uninstall & reinstall PS Album but the problem still remains. From tips picked up from the other posts, I can confirm there are no missing files in the original catalog. I have also attempted without success to repair and optimise the catalog via File\catalog and remove all 'Creations' from the catalog.
    The pse-conversion file states "unable to process tag p:6 "Shared - Incoming", a=000b0004 fa=04 ia=0b parent=0 next=7 firstchild=0
    p:7 -> discarding top level history tag" (or words similar to) on several occasions. What does this mean/is it relevant?/how can I correct it? (see attached log conversion file)
    Failing to resolve the above problem will mean retagging over 4000 images - a propect I really wish to avoid!
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I was having problems with the conversion from PSA2 to PSE7, mainly with 2 things. First, I was gettings some "poison files" as suddenly one year of photos went from ca 4 GB to 13 GB in size.
    The second problem and my biggest problem was that I had burnt a couple of years to a dvd. In PSA2 these files were removed from my HDD, there were thumbnail files stored in a folder called /Proxies/Photos 2004-2006 and in the organiser these files showed up as low resolution thumbanils and with a gold disc symbol, showing that they were stored offline. If I double clicked on a picture the dvd disc was asked for.
    Upon upgrading to PSE7 everything was converted correctly except my offline files. In PSE7 there is a symbol showing that files is offline, but the picture is not there ie it is not connected. Following the advice in this thread I tried instead to first upgrade to PSE5, but the same problem occurs. Funny enough, the "posion files" does not seem to be there, 2008 is now 4 GB is size .
    My question is why does PSE not upgrade my offline pictures? How do remedy this? Should I reconnect the missing files to the Proxies folder or to the dvd that contains the files? If I choose either of these will that not restore the files on to my HDD or just the link?
    Another thing. Can any of the versions of PSE burn to DVD-DL or is it still only DVDR that is allowed?

  • Problem converting Excel Charts

    I am using Acrobat 9.3.4 (pro extended) and MS Office 2007 service pack 2.  I am having problems converting the charts in Excel.  The charts in Excel are vector, but when I print to the Acrobat driver or save in Acrobat, the graphs are converted to a low quality bitmap.  Any ideas how I can preserve the quality of the original graph?  Any idea how I can preserve the vector drawings?

    I suspect the upgrade to Excel 2007 is at fault here, but I have not found any settings to get my old functionality back.  I posted the same question to an Excel board, and they referred me to a similar thread, which sounds like other people are having similar problems.
    It looks like some older version of Excel was having trouble when people used "save as pdf" (Excel was resizing the graphic and moving it off the page.)  To eliminate the problem, they seem to have changed their graphics creation engine from vector to bitmap.
    I have an older version of Excel (2003 sp3) at home, and the pie charts, for example, are clearly being created as vector drawings.  In Excel 2007, they appear to be bitmaps created at screen resolution, which in my case is a fuzzy mess because of the need to resize the drawings.  On the Excel board, there is a link to a "hotfix" but I don't know if it is the same issue.  I will post the link here if it works.
    I tried beating my head against the keyboard, but it has not helped.

  • PSE9: Only 366 of really 56467 pics show in converted catalog?

    Problem: No conversion of PSE 7 catalog.
    Running Windows 7 on quadcore machine.
    Downloaded trial version of PSE9.
    Installed on my wife's machine.
    PSE 7 shows 56467 pics on 202 files.
    Started PSE9
    Opened Organizer
    Convert catalog.
    Conversion crashes with "insufficient memory" error.
    Investigation shows C: drive filled up, only 1 GB free.
    Free disk space on C: drive
    Uninstall PSE 9
    Restart
    Install PSE9 second time
    Start Organizer
    Convert catalog started again
    No crash
    Result: Only 366 (!!) pics
    Question: What happened to the other 56000 pictures?
    Installed PSE 9 on my machine. Converted PSE7 catalog. Everything runs o.k.
    BTW: Just found original CD(!!) of PSE 2.0! Looks like we are looooooong time users of PSE!
    Hope our Gurus (Guruines? - what is the politically correct description of female gurus?) have a solution!
    Regards,
    Alexander

    Hello Saurabh! Thanks for coming back to my problem.
    Here my replies to your questions:
    - The 56,000 pics database was always on my wife's machine (she is the price winning photographer). Her system runs under Vista, fully updated. The system always gets backed up to an external drive and runs well under PSE 7.
    - She skipped PSE8.
    - When I installed PSE9 (Trial Version) on her machine yesterday, the above mentioned problem started. I could not convert the DB to PSE. As a longtime user of PSE and computers, I guessed, as mentioned, that when I got the message of insufficient memory, that this was the problem that PSE7 did not convert to PSE9.
    I then re-installed.
    Please see my previous message for all the detail steps I made and had no luck.
    Yes, looked with File View.
    The number of files - 202 - stayed the same on both PSE9 installs.
    Right now I uninstalled the PSE9 Trial Version and really await help. I don't dare to continue on her machine!
    You mention to go to Find>By History>Imported and now please see my new message, titled "PSE9 tell me that it deletes all tags!" as this is a new grave problem, this time on my machine and I do not want to try it on my wife's as I get killed if she looses all her tags of 56,000 pictures!
    Sure hope to get help so my wife can use the new Editor's layer masks, etc.!!
    Thanks,
    Alexander

  • PROBLEM converting word98 to PDF

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem converting word documents into PDF.
    I have a word doc that includes some photos that won't
    transmit in email without distoring the text and images.
    So I wanted to make it a PDF so its all "fixed" and stationary.
    My OS is Panther 3.9
    But my Microsoft Word 98 program I use works from Classic (9) system
    For whatever reason my Acrobat (OS X3.9) isn't working (worry bout that later) but my Preview works.
    I just downloaded a free "Text to PDF" convert program for Mac
    it converts the text (but alters it) and won't do the pics AT ALL
    plus it has a bunch of random coding poping up in it.
    Does someone have the answer to this problem?
    Any recommendations on some freeware program downloads?
    Thanks - coldgooseman

    I appreciate all of your help.
    *TO ROAM:*
    +*For the document, if you click on Print (Command + P), then choose Save as PDF, does that work?*+
    When I go to Print in Micrsoft Word 98 there isn't anything that suggest it cann do that. The winnndoww comes up and there's a tab named "Print" with the ffollowing options I can scroll down & choose:
    Document
    Document Prperties
    Commentsss
    Stylessss
    Autotext EEEntries
    Key Assignments
    That’s it, there's nothing anywhere in Microsoft Word 98 that I can find that will allow me to Save as PDF. Besides Print, the options if I go to "Save As" are only:
    Document Template
    Text Only
    Text Only With Line Breaks
    MS-DOS TEXT
    MS-DOS TEXT With Line Breaks
    RICH TEXT FORMAT
    UNICODE TEXT
    STATIONARY
    SPELLER CUSTOM DICTIONARY
    SPELLER EXLUSIVE DICTIONARY
    HTML Document
    WORD 4.0
    WORD 5.0
    WORD 5.1
    WORD 6.0 /95
    *TO ALLAN JONES:*
    +*consider upgrading to Office X or 2004 so you can do everything in OSX. I've had no trouble making PDFs from OSX Word docs.*+
    Yeah I don't have money for that one right now. But I thought surely there was a quick free download I could get somewhere that would do the job.
    +*A no-cost option is to save the Word Doc as an rtf file and see if all attributes are preserved. Then open it with TextEdit in OSX and see if it still looks right. If it does, print from TextEdit selecting the "Save as PDF" option.*+
    I'll see if I can do that.
    +*It's probably worth your while to see if you can get Acrobat working (if it's the OSX version).*+
    I swear I had a Acrobat 6 but all I find is Acrobat 3. (I've never had reason to use it until now. I always Just use Preview to look at stuff.
    *TO CORNELIUS:*
    +*1. How long is this Word document and how many pictures?*+
    14 pages
    +*2. Does it have a .doc extension at the end of the file name?*+
    I just tried that as you suggested and it WAS a little better. That is, the image started off with the right fonts and space right but as it went on it got more and more off.
    AND it still didn't show any images (just blank spaces between text bodies.)
    +*3. Is this a formal or business type communication, or personal email?*+
    Its formal (an official report on a trip which is why I need the photos to be viewable.)
    +*4. Are you sending it as an email attachment?*+
    YES
    +*5. What email are you using e.g. webmail like Hotmail, Apple Mail etc.?*+
    Hotmail
    +*6. Are you booted in OS X and working in the Classic environment, or booted and working in OS 9?*+
    I'm working in OSX3.9 and the Classic Version opens up in it for Microsoft Word 98

  • How to Change Converted Catalog Name in Lightroom 6?

    I have just updated to Lightroom 6 via CC.  When I went to open an existing catalog, the button to allow the name to be changed was missing.  I see no way to change the name during the conversion process!  I know I can change it externally, but I suspect I'd need to change the folder name of the Previews as well?  Adobe -- why did you remove this capability???
    Randi

    dj_Paige -
    Once you chose a catalog to open, in the middle of the dialog box that came up next, was the path and name of the converted catalog.  There used to be a button to the right of that that said 'Change'. That no longer is there with conversion of catalogs to LR6.  This isn't really inside of LR, it's during the process to convert a catalog to the newest version.
    Here is the current help link showing an upgrade to LR 5:

    If you're not using chrome you can just go to adobe's website (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) and download the newest flash player.  You run the .dmg and then open the application, which updates flash.  With the latest version of flash there should be a preference pane within system preferences to allow you to change settings and check for updates.

    having problems converting pdf to word. I'm not able to convert the file, what do I need to do?

    Hi prates77,
    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble converting files. Are you receiving the conversion error regardless of the file that you try to convert? Does the error occur whether you use the web interface, or convert via Reader? And an odd question: how many files do you have stored in your Acrobat.com account? We have seen reports of this error when there are a large number of files stored in the root folder of your Acrobat.com account.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara
