Adobe elements organizer 12 will not open.

I just installed Adobe photoshop on my Mac (Maverick) a few days ago and it worked fine. However, now the organizer will not open. Photoshop is fine. Occasionally it will begin to open, but then will disappear. I took previous idea of clearing media analyses, but that did not help. Ideas?

Open the organizer while holding down the shift key to bring up the catalog manager. Find your catalog>repair>optimize.
If you can't open it at all, go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything beginning com.adobe.Elements Organizer (with or without a space between Elements and Organizer). To see the user library, click the Go menu in the finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account.

Adobe premiere Elements 12 will not open editor

I had Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on my laptop and worked fine. Decided to upgrade to Elements 12 and did but version 12 will not open editor, says sign in, I sign in but no editor. Organizer opens and loaded my Photos and videos. I purchased full retail version for download. My laptop runs windows 8.1 and has an Intel Core i5 dual core processor and 4GB ram.

Have you gone to Computer/Manager/Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications and looked for error entries that appear to be associated with this problem?
Did you purchase Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12, and does Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor open whereas Premiere Elements 12 will not open to its Expert or Quick workspaces?
You have probably tried it, but can you open to the Premiere Elements workspaces from the Elements Organizer workspace?
More later.

How come photshop elements 13 organizer will not open.

I have been using element 13 for about a week and last night I tried to open it and the organizer will not open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled I have shut down all firewall I need some help. Seems the Adobe does not really have much help.

First be sure you are opening the actual .exe/application file for the organizer rather than going through the welcome screen. It will be in either the program files>adobe or your Applications folder on a mac. Try holding down the shift key while opening it to bring up the catalog manager. If that works, select your catalog, then Repair, then Optimize.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

You are rude, to say the least. It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible. Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe. The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with. I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

Adobe premier elements 12 will not open.

Hi
My Adobe Premier Elements 12 will not open.
It did open about 12 hours ago when I was busy working on video edits. Then I closed it, went to sleep and got up in the morning to carry on editing - bt it wont open anymore. There are no error messages coming up.
I double clicked on the icon on my desks top, as well as tried oeping it from the start menu - same responce - nothing happens.
what can the problem be ?
If I uninstall and then reinstall - will this affect any of my videos that I am editing but have not rendered or saved yet ?
thanks - I need help urgently.
LorenzoChetty

Lorenzochetty,
Welcome to the forum.
As one of the main reasons for PrE to not launch is the video driver (more on that in a moment), can you provide us with some details, please?
What OS version are you running PrE 12 on?
What is the make and model of your video card/chip (GPU)?
What is the installed version of the video driver?
Is that the latest from the nVidia, or AMD/ATI Web site?
Also, what anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-anything software are you running?
If you are on Windows, and have Windows updates set to Automatic (the default), then a simple OS Update can render the video driver obsolete.
Good luck, and let us know more please.

My recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 will not open.

My recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 will not open. Clicking to open, will not reveal the usual “edit” or “organize” choice windows. Only the main “edit” working window opens. In a moment, a smaller window within will also open. It states “Photoshop Elements 12 Editor has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”
I am running it on a Dell laptop with six gigs of RAM and a Core i5 processor.
Should I attempt to reinstall? During original installation, the only thing I was not asked was to give blood! So, if reinstalling on the same machine is the solution, will Adobe allow this?
Thanks,
Frank

I have tried and failed. It was loaded from disc just purchased at Best buy. It loaded fine but will not start up at all. I have looked for the launch program and tried other methods but no success yet.

Photoshop elements 6 will not open!

Purchased photoshop elements 6. My dad has that one and recommended it for what I want to do with photos. It was the only elements in our budget and since my dad uses it, I figured instant help should I need it.
I tried installing it. It said it was installed, but it will not open. Tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it and restarting computer. Did not work. Tried to run it as an administrator. Did not work.
I have windows vista 64 bit.
If I can't get this to work, I know I won't be buying anything from adobe ever again and will tell all my friends that want to get into editing their photos to stay far, far, far away from photoshop elements.

Editor in elements 8 will not open. using windows 7 home premium. can this be fixed

editor in elements 8 will not open. computer has windows 7 home premium. steve

You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

Photoshop elements 9 will not open

I recently bought photoshop elements 9 and installed it. I opened it for the first time and it worked fine. I closed it and then went to open it again. It displayed the welcome screen and I clicked 'edit' the welcome screen closed and nothing happened. The organizer will not open either. Any solutions?

I received negative feedback as if I had isolated problems.
I was even given a 10 step solution to one issue with Organizer (which actually if you read it is 14 steps)
AND then when I said that I was not going to do a 10-14 step process for PSE which is designed for simplicity they questioned my logic about the 10 steps.
See for yourself :
1) Create a new folder #1
2) Create a new folder #2
3) Copy NEF files from camera card to folder #1
4) Open DNG Converter
5) Select source by browsing to folder #1
6) Select folder #2 for new location
7) Select preferences e.g. Jpeg Preview: Full Size
8) Click convert
9) Wait for conversion to finish and when successful exit
10) Open Organize, then click File >Get Photos >From Files & Folder (then browse to foldeer #2 & click OK)
I am looking at other programs like Aperture.
It is a MAC program and the Apple forum is as good as it gets otherwise the Apple Care and the in-store are a way of dealing with a real person.
The major difference I am told is Layers and frankly I never have used the ability in all the years I had PSE.
This forum is way too defensive, mistakes happen,

Organizer will not open

My organizer will not open from my Photoshop Elements 12. When I click on oganizer from the Photoshop Elements 12 startup window, the program closes down. I also recently downloaded Premeire Elements 12. For a few days I was able to open my organizer from the Premiere Elements 12 startup window but now that does not work either. Help!

Step 3 - I did not understand this step. When I press ALT+CTRL+DEL, I get the Window Task Manager screen... so I don't know how I can click on Organizer. Please advise.
Sorry clnehl,
It is not ALT+CTRL+DEL..
Please press ctrl+shift and it will open Catalog Management dialog in pse 12.
In the Catalog Manager, select the catalog that you want to repair.
Click Repair.
When the Elements Organizer finishes checking your catalog for errors, select Re-index Visual Similarity Data and then click Repair or Repair Anyway.
This process takes time, especially if you have a large catalog. A dialog notifies you when your catalog is successfully repaired. Click OK to close this dialog.

Organizer will not open after I tried backing up photos on external hard drive on Mac. Editor opens, but not Organizer. This is a repost of a problem first reported 10 days ago.

Organizer will not open after I tried backing up photos on an external hard drive on Mac. Editor opens, but will not launch Organizer. Have tried clearing the catalogs, but nothing works. This was first reported 10 days ago. Had to be out of the country for a week - without photoshop working-- and now I'm back with the same problem. Can someone please help, or do I dump this and try to get some help just reloading the program?

jnrmendonca
It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.
