Organizer always crashes in Photoshop Elements 9 on my iMac

Can anyone help? I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 on my iMac. The problem I have is with Organizer 9. It always crashes each time I use it. I can activate Organizer and use it briefly for a few minutes but then it crashes!  Does anybody have a fix for this problem. Thanks in advance. Brian

I can activate Organizer and use it briefly for a few minutes but then it crashes!
Is it doing anything in particular when it crashes? Did you repair permissions after installing PSE? If not, try 99jon's suggestion of deleting the preferences, and then repair permissions before trying again.

    I am encountering crashes with Photoshop Elements 12.  If I uninstall and then reinstall the software, will I jeopardize the 100s of photo images I have already moved into the Organizer?  Any cautions for me?

    If the app is designed correctly, the no, you won't. However, you'd have to ask the people who wrote the software, Adobe.

  • Organizer crashing in Photoshop Elements 10

    Why are so many people having the Organizer crash in Photoshop Elements 10 and does anyone actually have a solution to the problem?

    Just like every other application in the world, there are about a hundred different and unique situations where the Organizer crashes. The broad categories for why any application (including the Organizer) crashes are:
    1. Interfering background/foreground applications
    --Test: try runnning the software with all other background/foreground applications closed.
    --Solution: Find the interfering application. If you don't need/use it, remove it from the computer. Otherwise, upgrade it to the latest version to help eliminate conflicts. Or don't run it while running the application in question.
    --Document: Disable startup items, services | Windows (Mac users should run in Safe Boot to accomplish the same)
    2. User account settings/permissions
    --Test: create a new user account, log into it, run the application.
    --Solution: There are a number of settings that are unique to your each user account. Some are tied to individual applications, some are system wide. However, we cannot dictate the full spectrum of personalization that happens per account.
    --Document: Troubleshoot unexpected behavior | User account-specific | Adobe software | Windows 7, Vista
    Troubleshoot unexpected behavior | User account-specific | Adobe software | Mac OS
    3. User files
    --Test: new blank files. In the case of Elements Organizer, this would be a new, blank catalog (File > Catalog > New)
    --Solution: Try repairing your catalog (File > Catalog > Repair). The issue could also be tied to a file or files you've recently imported (i.e. around the time the crashing behavior began).
    --Document: Troubleshoot catalog issues | Organizer | Elements 6 and later
    4. Hardware conflicts
    --Test: hardware is extremely difficult to test, and is also the least likely source of most issues.
    --Solution: Make sure the drivers for your hardware are current, as downloaded and installed from the manufacturer's web site.
    5. Other
    --There are still other possible causes. Computers are very complex machines, so much so that each one as is as unique as your own fingerprint. Unless there is a bug in the application (i.e. the program crashes when you take steps x, y, z but otherwise operates correctly), there is going to be a unique solution to your particular issue.

  • Best way to organize several versions of Photoshop Elements to conserve disk space?

    I have Elements 9, 11, and now Version 12. I am wondering if I should import into Version 12's Organizer all of my previous photo files, then delete or uninstall the older versions of PhotoShop Elements?
    Currently running Windows 7 - 64 bit with latest SP installed. I would like to try and keep the hard disk storage fairly lean, and can't help but wonder about the space that is being taken up by having all of these versions of Elements installed! Any advice would be welcome.  Thanks for your replies and insights!
    BrokenBell

    Thank you so much for your input! I sometimes feel that I must be increditable stupid as I try to get BOTH organized but also learn how to use all of the features found in Photoshop Elements. Part of the reason that I say this, is because I have always been pressed for time, so I try & do one most pressing thing, that usually doesn't turn out quite like it was described it would or could be, and then I'm off to take care of more pressing issues, and don't get back to trying it after days or weeks have passed, so its kinda of like starting all over again.
    Again, thanks for your reply and input!
    Sincerely,

    The organizer does not store your photos, only links to their locations on the hard disk. So all your different versions will be looking at the same image file, so no duplication of the photos themselves.
    If you find yourself using features in 9 or 11 that were removed in later versions (e.g. interactive photomerge, magic extractor, lighting effects etc ...) I'd be inclined to leave them installed unless you are critically short of disk space.
    Cheers,
    Neale

  • Adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version

    adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version.HELP
    If I try to register 4 boxes circle endlessly.Why should I have to register editor separately from organizer?

    This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful!  My email:  [email protected]  
    Good luck.
    Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer?  It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
    <C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
    If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called:  PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
    If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website.  <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
    Hope this helps.

  • Why Cant get my Organizer to open on Photoshop elements 12 on my mac OS 10.6.8

    Why Cant get my Organizer to open on Photoshop elements 12 on my mac OS 10.6.8

    Pse 12 isn't officially supported on mac os x 10.6.8, but your able to install it.
    Mac os x doesn't have some of the updated/newer os features that the pse 12 organizer requires but the editor part seems to work fine.
    Also, camera raw 8.3 is the last camera raw version that will work on os x 10.6.8  and newer versions of camera raw or the dng converter won't be compatible accoording to what adobe has said so far.
    more info in this post:
    http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/08/pse-12-and-older-operating-systems/
    If your os x 10.6.8/computer is able to upgrade to mavericks os x 10.9, then you'll be able to use the pse 12 organizer, but if you have any programs that require rosetta to run you won't
    be able to use them any longer, because after snow leopard macs can't use rosetta

    Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm  not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

    If you do not have it on disc, then download it, install it, and activate it with your serial numnber.  If you need to download it, if you purchased it online thru Adobe look for a link in your Adobe account online.  You can also download the trial version and activate it with your serial number...

  • Can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac from CD

    I can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac I just purchased. The software is brand new, the CD appears to read fine. The instillation "on-screen" instructions are not popping up. I have had the software a minute, purchased it new but was waiting till I could afford an iMac. Any suggestions?

    How are you using a CD with a new imac? They haven't had disc drives in years.
    Try downloading from here and use the serial number from your boxed version:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
    However, there are a couple of other things to try. First of all, PSE 9 has both mac and windows discs. If the disc doesn't mount on the desktop, then you've got the wrong one. Go get the other one and when it appears on the desktop, double click it.  Then double click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, double click Install/Setup (can't remember which it was for PSE 9, sorry). There is no automatic install for PSE for mac, since macs have no autoplay function for security reasons, and there isn't any window with instructions, either. You just keep double clicking till it installs.

  • When I start Photoshop Elements 12, the organizer always crashes. I can't open the program

    Everytime I try the open the organizer in Photoshop element 12, it crashes and the progrma closes. I tried to re install the program, but it doesn't work. What can I do.

    I have had PSE 12 Organizer crash three times in 7 days, and each time I had to re Tag all my files that had been completed to that point.  The Backup was not a lot of help since I had backed up only the untagged original catalog.  I find that SOMETIMES, I can start Photo Editor, then choose the Orgainzer at the bottom.  It takes a lot of coaxing to get the organizer started even then.  So far, I have spend 12 hours ReTagging and Restoring, and talking to Support that does not really have a clue as to this problem.  I have already had 2 support techs work on it, and now am waiting for Second Level support to call back.  Another day wasted.  I find that even though Organizer crashes and closes, that the Analyzer module continues to run in the Task listing, as does Organizer module.  It just runs and uses up resources.  Make sure you check your task lists and force them to cease before you try to restart again. 
    How is it that Adobe provides NO FREE SUPPORT on a known BUG.  Support earlier today told me to get answers to this problem at forums.adobe.com (here now) and I do not see any of the problems have been identified or fixed.  While 12.1 worked for one, it does not work for me.  Someone find out what is causing this and fix it.

  • Photo share crashes in Photoshop elements 9

    I recently installed photoshop elements 9.  I have been an elements user since version 3 and most recently was using version 7.  In version 9, when I select a photo in the organizer and then go to "Share" and select "Photo email" I get as far as selecting the contacts to send the photo to.  As soon as I select the contacts and push the "Next" button, the program crashes.  What do I need to do to fix this?  My email is windows Mail.  I am running Vista on a Dell XPS M1530.

    Colintrew;
    My problems are as close to identical to yours as can be. I had used Elements 6 for a while with photomail working flawlessly. The upgrade to elements 9 was to take advantage of numerous editing and organizational improvements (befitting a new camera purchase). I have tried uninstalls/reinstalls and updates to no avail, and several of the suggestions posted in the forum. If a service pack fails to address this issue I will have to explain to my retailer that this s an unacceptable piece of software.
    My fingers are crossed
    You are not alone!
