When I imported an AE3 catalog into AE11 I lost Event & Place tags associ. with photos

Please help! I had been using Adobe Elements 3 for many years. Finally I bought Adobe Elements 11. I backed up my Adobe Elements 3 (in XP Mode) catalog. Then I chose 'Restore Catalog' in Adobe Elements 11 to restore the catalog. I had to reconnect all my photos (>6000), which took a while.
Unfortunately although my old 'keywords' were imported they aren't all associated with photos.
What worked: the old 'Favorites' were converted to Stars, and any tags in the 'Other' category were retained.
What didn't work: all tags in the 'Events' or 'Places' categories.
The only thing I can think of to fix this would be to change all my event and places tags to the 'other' category then backup the catalog and import it again. Hopefully I wouldn't have to reconnect all the photos again.
Any other suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

I had some symtoms like yours, but I'd first filtered by People while I was looking for Places and Events tags. I opened the Tag Info, clicked on Places and got "no media:" because I was actually combining the place with a person. Places and Events tags worked if I first clicked "media" to show all my pictures, which effectively cleared other tag selections. Try doing that and then click on one or more arrows next to the tags. The displayed pictures should filter more with each tag you click.
I don't get the user model in PSE 11 though. It puts a check by keyword tags in a narrow horizontal frame at the top of the screen, and that seems like the only place where you can uncheck the filters. That space is cramped, and hard to scan if you have a long tag list. It seems more obvious to me to just mark a check by the tag info items themselves in the vertical colums on the right, like PSE 7. Plus it shows places and events tags under keywords, with blank spaces in the main Places and Events boxes. Plus you can highlight a folder under "My Folders", collapse the list and forget you aren't seeing all media. It's confusing at best.

How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate?

How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate? It should be noted that I also have another effect (an extrude & bevel) applied which does copy over when I paste (or create an SVG and import) into Edge Animate. Any thoughts on why the drop shadow disappears but the extrude & bevel carries over?

Which version of Illustrator are you using?
In earlier versions of Illustrator it is not that easy to apply drop shadows with spot colours.
Another reason why it's always important to tell which version of AI … well …

When i import my AutoCad PDF into photoshop my lines and text become blurry. How do i fix this

When i import my AutoCad PDF into photoshop my lines and text become blurry. How do i fix this?
Is it resizing as I import it or maybe a printer thing?

It is rasterizing the PDF at the resolution you tell it to, unless it's an image only PDF - then the image will be opened as-is.

Work-around to import Elements 7 catalog into Lightroom 2

I know I can't import an Elements 7 catalog into Lightroom 2 because they were released at nearly the same time. But I want to do it anyway. What is the best workaround?

You can write the PSE metadata (captions, tags, GPS locations) to the files with psedbtool. When you import the photos into Lightroom, this data will be read into the Lightroom catalog.
You will lose PSE Notes, version sets, stacks, albums, creations and a few other things.

When I import new home videos into my iTunes and edit the names it creates duplicate Library's on my Apple Tv. How can I stop this from happening each time I edit a name in iTunes home videos??

I am having an issue with duplicate Libraries showing up in my Home Sharing "Home Videos". It happens when I import home videos into iTunes and change the names of the files. How do I avoid this from happening and delete the duplicate libraries?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

HT1349 why when i import a comperlation cd into my itunes library it splits it into different parts

hello when i import a cd in to my itunes library from my collection it spliys it into differant albums ect acample my epic cd x3 is split into about 20 alboms

You either put in a blank CD as roaminggnome suggests, or something mechanical went wrong with your player, damaging the CD. Check for scratches.
iTunes has no facility for erasing a CD. You would have to deliberately do that with a disk or DC burning utility.

Import PSE 13 catalog into Lightroom 5.0

I have a very extensive PS Elements catalog, now in version 13 of PSE. I just bought Lightroom but dont want to re-catalog 30,000+ pictures. How can I import the PSE (version 13) catalog into Lightroom?

Are you running LR 5.7.1? If not upgrade from the Help menu.
Go to File >> Upgrade PSE Catalog
See image below - you should be able to select your Elements catalog from he drop-down list.

Import Elements 7 Catalog into lightroom 2.3

I have just installed Lightroom 2.3. Can anyone tell me how to import the catalog from Elements 7 including keywords etc? I thought after installation it offered an option to import existing catalogue. If so I must have missed the opportunity. Many thanks.

Roy, I am 99% certain that importing PSE 7 catalog to LR 2 is not possible at this time. The release cycles of the products did not coincide for that to happen. However you can import from PSE 6 I believe.
I feel sure that this will be addressed soon........... but don't know when.

When i import a movie file into iMovie,it somehow reverts to the shortened file of the same name that i previously had used

I'm trying to import a movie file into imovie that I know is 3hr16mins long but when it's finished importing,all I have in the programme is the heavily edited 51mins that i used in a previous project (using the same file),5 years ago. How can I stop iMovie from reverting back or could the much longer file be there and I have incorrect settings so I can't see it all?

Are these files MPEG compressed files? iMovie can not deal with the multiplexed audio of those files. For suggestions on how to get them right start here...

And if your files are not MPEGs, some of the suggestions on that page may still do what you need done.

Import PSE 3 catalog into PSE 13?

I have an old PSE 3 catalog (.psa file) that I need to open in PSE 13. I downloaded, installed, and ran Adobe's dedicated converter, per Adobe's instructions and obtained a "successful conversion" message upon completion. However, when I open the resulting catalog in PSE 13 thumbnails for the "first" images display, but when I attempt to scroll down, or "Ctrl End" to the end of the catalog (there are more than 12,000 images in the catalog), PSE 13 hangs and "stops responding". Of course, what I care about is the tags attached to the images, and used to sort them in PSE 3. How do I recover/preserve/access this tag info? or, how do I "fix" the, obviously failed, conversion so that I create a catalog from my original .psa file that PSE 13 can correctly open?

On the new computer, in PSE9, select File->Restore Catalog, and point it to the backup you made from PSE3. You will be given several options about restoring the photos, including one that is to original directory location.
More details are here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402894.html (which was written for PSE6, but applies to later versions of PSE as well)

How can I import an Aperture Catalog into Lightroom and retain the RAW file as well as the files with the edits?

I have several catalogs in Aperture that I would like to import to Lightroom 5 and I want to retain the original RAW files as well as the files with the edits. How can I do this?

Well, you can bring in the raw file (without edits), and you can bring in a rendered RGB file (e.g. jpeg or tiff) with edits baked in, but what you CAN'T do is bring in a raw file, with the non-destructive Aperture edits, and have Lr translate those Aperture edits into Lightroom edits.
Put another way: no raw converter/editor can understand the edits of any other raw converter/editor. So, you have to work with a rendered version, and/or re-edit from scratch in a new raw converter/editor.
PS - it would be feasible to write a rough translator which approximated raw edits in one world into edits in another, but such does not exist yet for Aperture -> Lightroom, that I know of.

No sound when i import QT DV movie into FCP

I downloaded some .mpeg movies from a site and exported them from QTP as DV NTSC movies. When I open them in FCP I get no sound. There is not even a sound clip when i drag the video into the sequence. They play in QT perfectly. Thank you for your help.

I used the m2v and aiff file conversion choice in mpegsreamclip. The m2v file will not play in FCP however the aiff file will. I converted the m2v file in QTP to a DV file but then i have to place this over the m2v and aiff files in the FCP sequence. So essentially the problem is solved. However is there any way to join the files to clean this up or should I have used a different choice in mpegstreamclip?

No sound when i import garage banmd files into logic express 7.1

i have garage band 3.0.4 and logic express 7.1. i just acquired both of these recently and have been trying to transfer my old garage band 2 files into LE. i have no problems putting my songs into garage band 3 but when i open them in logic theres no sound output. everything appears to be working, all the meters light up except the output master all the way at the end of the mix window. i dont get it. some of my GB2 files opened in LE with no problems but others, made with gb3 or exported from gb2 to gb3, wont work. i messed with the preferences, the sound is set to core audio but im still perplexed. anyone else had this problem? help!

thanks, ill give it a try. ive noticed that i dont have any problems when i open my GB2 files directly into LE. its only when i go through GB3. its really a drag, because i just updated and it seems theres no going back. pretty disappointing if you ask me. i updated to GB3 because of its much hyped "resolutions" of old problems, and here i am stuck with new problems. bah! thanks for the help anyway. if anyone knows of an easier/more efficient way to deal with this issue, let me know! thanks again.

I always imported my SD cards into iPhoto. Now it doesn't work with the cards from my new Nikon D7100 camera. What to do?

I have an iMac OS x 10.6.8 and always used iPhoto with good success, importing images including RAW format from my Nikon D40 into iPhoto. Since I bought a new Nikon D7100 camera I cannot upload the RAW images from its SC cards. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

Apple occasionally releases software updates to include RAW formats for newer cameras, but apparently, OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard (assuming the OS shown in your profile is indeed the one you're using) does not support the Nikon D7100 RAW format:
Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats
Upgrading to at least OS X 10.7 Lion would apparently fix that problem.
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06
Same for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats
If your iMac can run it OS X Mavericks: System Requirements, OS X Mavericks 10.9 is a free download upgrade, and it also supports the Nikon D7100 RAW format: OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats

My Iphoto library has recently updtaed itself with a same picture icon for every event. I backed up all my photos and deleted all the events in the library. When I imported a fresh batch of pictures the same picture appeared as the key photo. Help

Hi,
My i photo events in the library have updated themselves with a key photo. I really do not want this picture as a key photo on every event.
I backed up and deleted my entire library. After importing a fresh event, the key photo still remained the same. How can I stop that.

Sorry to ask but since we onlhy have words to comunicate with here using them correctly is critical
iPhoto is an application and lives in your Applications folder
Your photos are in a database which by default is names iPhoto library and is in your pictures folder
I still have Iphoto on my computer.
Is this the application of the intact non-functioning liPhoto library?
I have copied all the pictures on a USB so I wont loose any data.
exactly how did you do this?
Then I deleted all the pictures.
and exactly how did you do this?
Have you done this?
If so what were the results?
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your thumbnails (you may need to do several times)
