PSE 10 Organizer Show ? On All Thumbnails

When I try to access any of my photos in the PSE 10 Organizer they all come up with a ?. If I try to edit a photo the software treats it as a missing file, so I try to reconnect the file only to be told that it already exits in the Organiizer. I have tried repairing my catalogue and I'm informed by the software that there are no errors. This problem has just started to happen recently on my Windows 7 64 bit system.
If anyone can help with a solution it would be greatly appreciated as I don't know what could be causing this to all of a sudden begin to happen. I suspect that the data base has in some way become corrupted.
Thanks

If it just started happening recently, what changes did you make to your system? New hard drive?

PSE 11 Organizer shows broken images on almost all jpgs

1. I spent three days reorganizing all of my 90,000+ photos, putting them in hierarchical date ordered folders on my Windows 7 PC with 16GB RAM, lots of HD space on my second HD E (recently installed from an older laptop but with 700GB, 60% available).
2. I rebuilt a new catalog using just the new folders of the 90k plus images.
3. The first time I tried to rebuild the catalog, Organizer crashed with an "unusual runtime error".
4. I broke the rebuild down into three smaller pieces adding new folders of 30k images at a time and by midnight last night I had a new catalog.
5. Bring up the new catalog this morning and most of the images show a broken image. I can edit the jpgs, save them, etc in the editor, etc.
6. I've turned off face recognition, checked for errors in the catalog (none but corrected anyway). Show all files. Reset editor preferences. None of this helps.
7. All RW2 files show up, some PSD files do and some do not. Same with JPG's - a very few appear and most show a broken image.
8. The first time I scrolled through the images, trying to see anything, Organizer would show the image briefly, then go to a broken image.
9. The "Location" link to the file (I just discovered this) in the Information tab on the right, show the correct file location and that file (which can be edited after all) is just fine. Windows shows the file.
10. If you edit a file from Organizer, the broken image is repaired. So, a workaround would be to put all 90k images into the PSE editor. I don't think I have that much time...
11. Task Manager shows 40% CPU and 40% memory usage, btw.
Ideas, please?

Also, I am now trying to install PSE 12. One of the first instructions is to click Install Adobe Photoshop Elements in the Adobe Photoshop Elements dialog box. When I insert my disc in my DVD drive I don't get a PSE dialog box at all, just the Windows Autoplay dialog box asking what I would like to do with this disc. I can't believe I'm having to ask a question about installing a program from a disc! I'm pretty sure it's just me...

PSE 7 Organizer shows all pictures instead of the selected ones

When i make a selectin in the organizer it will always show all pictures instead of only the selection. This also happens when i create a smart photoalbum, it includes all photo's. It only adds a "not-selected sign" to the photo, but it will still show.

Are the photos with the red circle-slash icon in stacks or version sets? See this FAQ:

PSE 10 Organizer NOT RESPONDING

Organizer has worked for several months. Two days ago stopped responding. Got Adobe Tech support to help un-installing and re-installing, but no change. PSE 9 Organizer works OK. Thumbnails load okay, but when move slider or try to edit get "Oranizer Not Responding" message and screen dims. When re-installed settings change so goes to Organizer automatically on opening, so Home/welcome screen not available. Before re-installation tried tutorials, etc. and they worked okay. I'm essentially out of business on PSE 10. How do I get Organizer to work?

I just followed advice of others to turn off all Media Analysis and Backup Synchronization and the Organizer appears to working normally again! Many thanks!!

Organizer shows all thumbnails when opening, but if one selected it opens on that when re-opened???

The two books I have neithor offererend an explanation of how to get back to all thumbnails instead of the last one shown before closing.
Help, Help...
Don Wright

'but if one selected it opens on that when re-opened???'
Are you saying that if you double click an image in Organizer (so that Organizer now shows single image) and re-launch it you are shown only one image (which was doble clicked last time)? If that is so, then it as as designed that is Organizer remembers your settings from last session. To see all your thumbnails you can click on arrow back button on top left hand corner in PSE10 or earlier (in PSE11 you have 'back' button shown on sort by bar). Please let me know if I missed something.

Pse 7 organizer crashes when outputting slide show

PSE 7 closes down with the message that organizer has encountered a problem when I try to output a slide show in any form - create wmv, send to Premier Elements, write cd/dvd - a part of the file is actually output since I am able to go in and find it - once about 180 mb once about 60 mb. I have gone through the process adobe reccommends of deleting pref files, uninstalling cd/dvd drives, changing registry, uninstall, reinstall etc. all to no avail. I am able to do a slide show in Elements 6 and output that to Premier Elements. Is there a way to open the PSE 7 slide show in PSE 6? I really don't want to have to go back and recreate the slide show if I don't have too.
I should add that I sat and watched taskmanager while the process of exporting was being attempted and it doesn't appear that the problem is a computer related memory problem. I also read the information created when the incident occured in the elements log (I couldn't understand enough of what I was reading to find where things went wrong)
Any help would be great.

I am also having the problem with crashes using PSE 7 when I try to take thenewly created album and export it to a CD/DVD. I get a message that PSE has an error and must be shut down. I am running Vista 32 bit with 4MEG or memory and an additional 4 MEG of flash. Is there a update or download I can use to eliminate this problem in Organizer? I wouuld appreciate any assistance.

PSE 10 Organizer on Mac shows wrong timestamps and changes timestamps

Just installed PSE 10 on my Mac (OSX 10.6.8) performed an update to the raw converter (though I am NOT using raw files)
All photos that I add to the catalog show a time stamp of 1hr before the photo was taken. If I check the actual metatdata it shows correct for most of the fields.
Exif data before adding to organizer: (using Exif Viewer 2.7.1)
Image Created:          2012:03:21 07:27:26
Image Generated:          2012:03:21 07:27:26
          Image Digitized:          2012:03:21 07:27:26
I drag it into Organizer and it shows as being 3/21/2012 6:27am
The exif data still shows properly in Exif Viewer.
Ok, I can deal with that, it is very odd, but since it isn't changing the exif data it is somewhat ok.
Until....
Now, I right click on the image and say open with Photoshop Elements Editor and immediately the time changes on the organizer screen to be one hour earlier from shown: 5:27am.
PSE Editor File info shows the Created and Modified times on the desciption tab as 7:27, but on the Camera Data tab shows 3/21/2012 – 6:27 AM (the time organizer showed before I said to open editor)
now Exif Viewer says:
Image Generated:          2012:03:21 06:27:26
          Image Digitized:          2012:03:21 07:27:26
close editor, and organizer is still saying the time is 5:27am
Close organizer, open again, still shows 5:27am, exif data still shows:
Image Generated:          2012:03:21 06:27:26
          Image Digitized:          2012:03:21 07:27:26
I can repeat the open in editor and it again subtracts an hour from the time shown, and from the Image Generated exif data field.
It appears that the organizer updates the timestamp when you say open in editor, and then sees that the timestamp changed and shows its 1hr subtracted time.
Definate bug! It happens with JPG files from 3 different cameras (2 canon, 1 nikon) does not appear to happen with MP4 files from Flip. but does happen with MOV files from at least 1 of the canon cameras.
Any ideas? I haven't found the place to report bugs for PSE10 yet.

Elements 11 organizer shows correct wb in thumbnails but when increased to full screen or in slide show changes white balance to tungsten

Elements 11 organizer shows correct white balance in thumbnails but when increased to full screen or in slide show changes white balance to tungsten. Photos where shot in raw and in auto or flash white balance. any suggestions out there?

Figured it out, if the raw default setting has the wb on 3000 (or tungsten) the slide show uses adobe raw to convert so they all showed blue LOL

I edited clips and then re uploaded the rendered versions into the organizer and now the thumbnails aren't showing up. how do i generate the thumbnails?

Thanks for the reply with the very helpful details.
Export from Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG with Presets = HDTV 1080p29.97 High Quality
I suspect that we are in a no win situation here - an Elements Organizer 12 issue.
With Elements Organizer 11, 10, and 9, I can bring your MPEG2.mpg into the Elements Organizer with thumbnail with
image. I cannot for Elements 12. And, I am working with the same MPEG2.mpg in Elements Organizer 9.0/9.0.1, 10, 11,
and 12 on the same computer. In the morning, I will look Elements Organizer 13 as well.
In my work with 12, this MPEG2.mpg consistently crashed the Elements Organizer 12.
It is difficult to explain these results by invoking a missing codec theory since all was done with the same sample on the
same computer.
More later.

HT1338 Lost all of my 4950 pics! My daughter said they were in the wrong file and threw them in the trash. It shows all thumbnails for photos but nothing? We can't seem to retrieve them? Anyone know how? THX

I'm not sure what to post in? So here goes. I'm a photographer and had 4950 pics edited and store on my mac. My daughter was setting up photo shop and she took iphoto and put it in the trash by accident. We tried retrieving it and nothing! It shows that all of the pics all still in iphoto and the thumbnails are there but no pics? Anyone know how to put these back? It took me over a year to edit these! I'm really freaking out! HELP PLEASE!!!!! THX

First locate the file with the name: iPhoto Library
Search on your Mac for it if need be using the Find command in the File menu.
When you find this file, hold down the control key and click on it, select Show Package Contents.
Look for a folder called Originals or Masters. That folder has the original photos.
The folder called Previews has the edited photos.
If your iPhoto database is damaged, you might in the worst case have to manually re-import these photos into a new library, but that's only a last resort. Don't move or change anything in the iPhoto Library for now.
If you found this iPhoto Library file, then you still have your actual photos. Now don't touch those photos or move anything. Close up the iPhoto Library window. Put the iPhoto Library back in your Pictures folder. Run iPhoto and hold down the option key. Select that iPhoto Library when requested to select the iPhoto Library. If that doesn't work, select "other" and navigate to that iPhoto Library and select it.
Let follks here know which of the above steps worked and which (if any) did not.

How can I get the picture to show in Photoshop? The thumbnail image appears in the right side panel but the full image isn't showing at all.

How can I get the picture to show in Photoshop CS3? The thumbnail image appears in the right side panel but the full image isn't showing at all.

What specific information would you need? The program was working just fine early yesterday morning and than when I came back in the afternoon to edit some more pictures that is when I wasn't able to see the full image anymore. It is providing me with all of the editing options as if the picture is there but it is just a blank screen with the thumbnail pic showing in the right panel.

In Iphoto 11 all 7000 of my photos show the same thumbnail. I rebuilt the thumbnail using ctr alt and opening iPhoto. This worked and rebuilt the thumbnails correctly. Then when I reopened iPhoto the problem came back? Help please?

PSE 13 organizer consumes all available RAM and crashes

I have found that I am unable to use PSE13 Organizer for more than a couple of hours without my system becoming unstable. Organizer keeps requesting RAM until it has taken up all available RAM and my virtual memory file has expanded to fill the hard drive it is on. At this point Organizer and most other running programs crash, the system becomes unstable and Windows issues out of memory warnings. I am at a loss as to what to do about this. Does anyone know if Adobe is planning on fixing this rather major bug?
I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit on an AMD X6 1090 with 16GB RAM.
Thanks

That's the first time I see that problem on Elements forums and bug reports.
Investigating your particular situation will require more info:
- on your hardware, your preferences (scratch disk)
- your organizer usage (photos or videos), autoanalyzer and other opened softwares
- any plugins?
What happens if you stop and restart the organizer at shorter intervals? Do you see the RAM and virtual memory grow the same way?
The only remotely similar situation I have met on all Elements versions is the impossibility to delete a large number of files in the same batch. The Organizer slowly fills all the RAM, then issues an error message and rolls back to the situation before the delete command. No crash.

PSE 7 Organizer crash/stall/fail

I've been using PSE 7 Organizer in Windows XP without problems for quite awhile. Recently, the program locks up on the first image in the library. The hourglass shows and it says "generating thumbnails," yet nothing seems to happen. I generally have to hard exit the program (using the Task Manager). Please help.

HI Alex,
Try the following:
1). Go to "C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Username]\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0" and rename the 'Organizer' folder to 'Organizer_OLD'.
2). Now, go to the catalog location and move the 'thumb.5.cache' file to the desktop. The default location for your catalog can possibly be either of these:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Username>\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<Catalog Name>
Or,
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<Catalog Name>.
Hope this helps!

PSE 8 Organizer take 60+ seconds per task

Most everything I do in the PSE 8 Organizer seems to take 60+ seconds to complete.
When I move a tag from one sub-category to another, 60+ seconds.
When I delete a picture from the catalog, 60+ seconds.
When I add a new face tag in a photo, 60+ seconds.
It doesn't seem to matter if I have 940 photos or 140 photos in the catalog.
What is PSE looking for with each task it does?
The only error indication I get is a 'dunk' sound when the Organizer starts up,
(like the sound you get when you click on something you shouldn't click on),
but no error dialog or warning shows up.
Any ideas?

John, I have a total of seven people tags and thanks for the advice. It's not a keyword tag issue.
But, hallelujah, I have found the problem! It's the 'Folder Location View'. Stay out of it! It turns a face tagging from a half second task to a 65 second task. It appears that, when in the Folder Location View, after you complete a task like face tagging PSE will then go off and re-read (for 65 seconds) all your Windows folders and regenerate the folder view. When you switch to the Thumbnail View and do the face tag then PSE comes right back immediately. I was able to recreate this scenario several times. Each task I did in Folder Location View took 65 seconds or more. The same task in Thumbnail View takes half a second tops.
