Cannot open my catalog after transfer to the new computer

I use 7 components on the computer that is running Windows XP. At about 5000 photos in my catalogue - all the tag and captioned.

Am in the process of moving to the new computer with Windows 7, 64-bit version. Used original disc to load Elements 7 on the new machine and organizing elements opens OK, but with just a white Notepad - and all tags are missing.

I used Windows Easy Transfer to move all the files and settings to the new machine.

The catalog seems to have been transferred and help items > Information System shows that it is located in the - who he is, according to Windows Explorer.

C:\ProgrammeData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My catalog

But I could find no way to do items to connect to that file and open it like "My catalog" on the new machine. Would be catastrophic to see that I have to re tag and caption all of these photos. Probably impossible.

Have tried all the options in the drop down for the catalog file.

Have had different opinions on Elements 7 can be used with Windows 7 64 bit - some say it's OK, others say not. If it is open as it did in XP - just does not detect the catalog.

Any ideas please?

OK, so you move the catalog.pse7db to the new computer, as well as anything else that seems to be linked to this folder (for example the subfolders).

Put it all on the new computer somewhere (any, any). If your photos are in the exact same on the new computer as they were on the old computer, you are finished. Just double-click on the file catalog.pse7db. If your photos are not in the same EXACT spot on the new computer, they were on the old computer, then use Windows to move them to this location.

    How to use transfer windows for xp to xp.  When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

    Hello, welcome.

    The process is automatic and the maximum transfer rate should be about 20 GB/HR. If the process crashes during that long of a time, it's probably because of something internal rather something you're doing wrong.
    For reference purposes, I included this link. It goes into the details of the migration from XP to Vista (and the basic steps you follow). The instructions are for migrating to Vista via the network, but you can easily follow the steps and choose a different option for your specific installation.
    For both machines, I recommend you to prepare for the transfer using the following procedure:
    1. click on START > run
    2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter
    3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed
    4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
    DO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN
    5. click on START > run
    6. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
    7. type chkdsk /r and press enter
    8 allow the system to attempt disassembly of the volume
    9. allow the system to plan restarting
    10. restart your computer
    11 let checkdisk analyze the file system on your hard drive
    12. Once completed, perform the same steps on the other machine
    13. Once completed, repeat the transfer

  • Windows live photo gallery: original photos lost the transfer to the new computer

    photos to the new computer, and the originals have not been transferred as im guessing they're saved in the software/program that cannot be transferred.

    If there is not a way to transfer original and edited photos to the new computer, is there a way to return all original with a single click, so that I can transfer the originals on my new computer?

    Thank you.

    Thank you, you saved my originals... I copy paste, but can not work how to connect my pictures changed to the originals so that I can click on my modified photos and click on 'back '.

    Thanks again

    ===========================================
    Sorry, but I don't have the exact solution for re - associate the
    originals with edited versions.  The only thing I would like to know
    to try would be to place the originals in the original Images
    folder on the new system.

    Maybe... I say just that maybe if you copied the photo gallery
    exclusive database of the old system and used it to replace
    the database on the new system. (Just copy and paste the file in)
    the appropriate on the new system folder, and when you see
    ... dialog box you want to replace? with? Select Yes.

    Also... you could instead of replace your new database...
    rename it... Pictures.OLD for example. So if the replacement
    do not re - associate files... you can remove the replacement
    and rename the OLD version in what it was and the Gallery
    must be as it was before the change.

    Depending on the version of your photo gallery might be the database
    Pictures.PD5, Pictures.pd6, Pictures.pd7...

    The path to the version of Win XP is:

    C:\Documents and Settings\ > user name<\Local>
    Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery\
    Pictures.PD4, Pictures.pd5 or Pictures.pd6

    Windows Vista:

    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6

    Windows 7:

    Windows\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Live Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd6

    (Sorry, but I'm not sure of the path in Windows 8 but if you)
    do a search for PD6 PD7, you should be able to find it.

    The former article is a user experience
    with the shifting of the database... maybe it would offer a few ideas:

  • Can I transfer to the new computer hard drive with the operating system

    I am building a new computer and want the best way to transfer my data.  I can transfer the data to a new SATA drive and then install the new drive in the new computer without having to do anything else.   Or I can install XP on the new computer first then do the transfer queue using the old IDE drive in a portable USB enclosure?  or?

    TKS

    John

    Sort that works is great.

    If you use the USB case, make sure that it can provide enough power to the drive.  Usually this isn't a problem if the old drive was a laptop computer but can be a problem if it was a desktop drive.

    Assuming that your old computer still works, the easiest is to put all the files you want to transfer to a folder, and then share this folder on the network.  Connect both computers to your home network, then simply attach to the shared folder on the network from the other computer and drag and drop your files to your new computer.

  • Cannot use the printer after installation of the new computer

    I just installed a new computer with windows 7.  I have a HP photosmart 7960 printer.  Hung, but it will not recognize on the computer.  Said that the drivers are not installed.  HP Web site says that the drivers are installed with windows 7 and that I don't no need to install them manually.  I have 7 ultimate.  Does make a difference?  If not, then how do recognize the printer from the computer?  I installed the Device Manager, but it would not install the drivers, after I went through the wizard.  It asked me to register and pay $30.  I can't download the drivers without payin for them?  Thank you.

    All I had to do was restart my computer.  Works now.  Some jacka$ $ on Device Manager site wanted to charge me $39 and take control away from my computer.  He said it would take 2 hours to fix.  He also said that the printer was not compatible with windows 7.  Well, I printed of him this morning.

  • Acrobat XI Pro serial number invalid after transfer to the new Mac.

    I recently got the new MacBook Pro OS X 10.9 and when I started my computer I transferred all my information to my new Mac from my old MacBook (2008 version).

    I was glad my Acrobat Pro XI transferred, but he transferred only as a software 'trial' and record-breaking buying my software on my account at Adobe are now gone. I thought that I would be fine because the trial software often reminds me that it is a trial and asks me my serial number. I have my serial number of my previous Acrobat saves and registered this number. When I do, you will see this message,

    "This serial number is not valid for Acrobat Pro XI. You can use a valid serial number for Acrobat Pro XI or use this serial number on the appropriate product. »

    What?

    Please help, my trial ends soon and I'm running out of options. I can't lose this expensive software!

    Hi alamo of the BNC,

    Adobe does not recommend the use of any migration software to transfer the software.

    If please remove Acrobat and reinstall it and use the serial number to activate it.

  • Library to transfer to the new computer

    I synced my music library (100 + concerts) on my new computer with a transfer cable iTunes displays all albums and playlists but will play no.  Error message:... original file is not found.  Ideas?

    Hello there doron34,

    It seems to me that you moved the library to a new computer, but for some reason, iTunes cannot read the contents. It might be possible that iTunes is pointing to the library on the original computer, to verify that use this item to select the local library on your computer:

    If this is not the case, there is always the possibility to locate this file when iTunes prompts and you should get a prompt asking you if you want than iTunes to do the same for other media that are not.

  • Updated Windows and transfer to the new computer with a new installation

    Hi I have an office of aging that I plan on upgrading within 12-15 months. I am currently under W7 and want to upgrade to 8.1. When I finally buy my new material under a BONE, me will be possible to transfer 8.1 overall with a full installation and not an image copied from my current position?

    Thanks for the tips

    To clarify my last sentence: If you buy Windows 8.1 full and use it to upgrade your old machine (Win 7), later when you buy your new computer and install 8.1, you will need to remove the old computer (it can only be activated on a PC at the same time).  So if you were to sell your old computer, legally you have to withdraw Windows 8.1.
