Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0- can't open more than 1 file at a time!

Hi,
We have a computer with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 at our office. It has worked for a few years just fine, but not something is wrong- whenever we try to open more than 1 document to edit or combine them, the program says there has been an error and immediately closes. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to solve this. We have elements 4.0 and 5.0 on other computers and those seem to be working just fine.
Thanks,
Amy @ Orfield

Sorry. But Elements 6 wasw a crosssroads. The database did change!

  • Can't open more than one file at a time

    I am experiencing a strange bug in Dreamweaver CC.
    When I try to open multiple files in DW, it opens the same file in multiple tabs. For example: I select index.html and login.html from the site root, then open. Instead of ending up with both files open, one in each tab, DW opens two tabs of the login.html. If I try to open a third file called main.css for example, it replaces the two existing tabs and opens a third tab, all with main.css.
    This makes working on global site styles and pretty much anything very difficult.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I have all the latest updates to the software currently available.

    Hello all,
    I am aware that it's not typical DW behaviour. I have never experienced it in any previous versions either. I tried the new user account without success.
    For reference: iMac 21"
    Processor  2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
    The system has more than enough power to run DW. I would like more power, but then wouldn't everyone...
    So unfortunately I am no closer to a solution. Is this a forum that Adobe Support interacts with? Is there any way I can contact them for a solution directly?

  • How to open more than 1 file at a time in PSE12?

    How do you set PSE12 to open more than 1 file (jpg) at a time? I've seen this question come up many times but no one seems to get the problem resolved. I've tried all the suggestions. Any assistance appreciated.
    I had this program installed and working as I wanted about 3 months ago. I then uninstalled and reinstalled a few days ago. Now it won't open more than 1 file at a time.

    Hi,
    My theory is that Windows get confused when it is opening the program file and the following intsructions should create a unique copy. I have produced the instructions in detail because I am never sure how much people are use to - forgive me you know much of it.
    Open Windows or Folder Explorer
    Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12
    Look for PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
    Right click on the file and select Copy
    Right click on a blank space and select Paste - you should get a prompt asking if you want to continue - you do - this should produce a copy of the file
    Rename PhotoshopElementsEditor - Copy.exe to PSE 12 ED  - you should get a prompt asking if you want to continue - you do
    Close the Explorer
    In the Windows Control Panel, select Default Programs
    In Default Programs, Select Associate a file type … - it will take a while to display the list
    Scroll down to the type you want to select - say .jpg and select it
    Click on the Change program button
    Click on the Browse button
    Search for the PSE 12 ED file renamed in 6 above, select it and then click on the Open button
    Click on OK and close the Default Programs
    Now try your tests. I can get multiple files to open as well as retain Expert mode.
    Good luck

    You may not even have the problem!
    Have you installed the new printer yet?
    There are many more people who don't see it happen than those who do.

  • Elements 6 editor crashes when opening more than 1 file

    elements 6 editor crashes when opening more than 1 file

    It may be a lack of available memory (RAM). Open the Editor and click the menu:
    Edit >> Preferences >> Performance
    Photoshop Elements >> Preferences >> Performance (on Mac)
    You can increase the amount of RAM available to elements, but never go above 90% otherwise you will have nothing left for running other open applications.
    You can also allocate other volumes or an external hard drive as scratch disks which elements can then use in place of a shortage of RAM.

  • I just upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Now I can't open more than one website at a time.  When I do the first site, minimized and in the dock, is taken up by the second one.

    I just upgraded my computer from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.  I used to be able to have as many websites open as I wished.  Now when I open a website and minimize it, it minimizes and moves to the dock just like it used to do.  But now when I open a second website, it takes the place of the first one down in the dock that was minimized.  I can't open more than 1 website at time now.

    There is something basic going on that unfortunately has me stumped.
    Before you spend the $20 please try creating a new user, for testing purposes:
    Creating a temporary account to isolate user-specific problems: Isolating an issue by using another user account
    That is easy enough to accomplish. If Safari and the Dock behave as you expect while using that account, it will help determine the cause. Please report the results of this test.
    Delete the temporary account after you finish testing.
    Many of those features I mentioned are new in Mountain Lion, and represent a significant change from Snow Leopard. Though you should certainly continue to use your Mac the way you have been accustomed to using it, you may find using Mountain Lion's new features advantageous. If you are fortunate enough to have an Apple Store nearby, you would benefit by taking advantage of Apple's many free workshops: https://www.apple.com/retail/learn/
    Otherwise you may find yourself spending the $20 often. The help available here is often better than Apple's. It is not always correct, but it is always free.

  • Pages 5.0--I can't open more than one document at a time.

    Pages 5--I can't open more than 1 document/file.  I can look up files in iCloud/computer, click to open, but the file never opens in Pages 5.  I have to quit Pages, reopen to get another document (but still cannot open more than that first doc).  I still have Pages 4.3, and I can open multiple documents.  Is this a bug, or is there some funky routine I have to go through?

  • Can't relink more than 1 file at a time

    I'm trying to relink media I have on an external firewire drive, but when I click Relink, FCP only relinks the first file in my list. The files are all there, in the same location, and have not had any name or reel changes - each one relinks fine individually, but I can't get FCP to link more than 1 file at a time.
    Procedures: I select all the files from a certain reel that are listed as being offline, then File>Reconnect Media. All the files I've selected are listed in the top half of the window, with the first file underlined. I have Search Single Location checked. I select Locate (though same thing happens if I select Search at locate the file myself), Show: Video Files (tho same thing happens if I select All Files), I've checked Match Name and Reel Only (though again same thing happens if this is not checked), and I checked Reconnect All Files in Relative Path. FCP finds the first file, and I click "Choose" - and the first file is listed in the bottom part of the window, but only that file.
    Everything else in FCP works fine. Is it possible I'm running into problems because of the very large number of clips I have in the project (12,000 so far)?
    FCP 6.0 running on G5 dual 2 gig, OSX 10.4.9
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    That is a bug in FCP 6 and 6.0.1...to fix it you need to upgrade to FCP 6.0.2.

  • Photoshop can't open more than one graphic at a time without crashing

    I get the error:
    The instruction at "0x7c918af2" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be "written".
    Anytime I try to open more than one image in Photoshop at a time, regardless of how I do it - doesn't matter if I choose the image and "open in photoshop" or if I am in photoshop and go to "file/open".
    It's Photoshop CS3. I have already uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled. I tried to "repair/change" from Windows, but it asks for the CS3 cd and then CS4, which I don't have since I'm using CS3. 
    This is quite frustrating as it would be nice to be able to merge photos and the myriads of other things you can do with multiple images at once, if opening them does not crash your program.

  • Can't open more than one file at once (Indesign CS3)

    hi there
    I have to deal with a strange problem, every time (well actually randomly) I try to open more than one indesign file at once, indesign just stays in the background and I can't get it to show up.
    the only thing I can to is force quite the application and restart indesign. Sometimes I'm able to see one of the open documents but I can't do anything with it (as there are no tools and no other indesign windows).
    Im not the only one having this problem, my work mate just updated his osx from 10.4 to 10.5, and now he is having the same problems...
    any suggestions why that is?
    cheers
    (my system: mac 2x2.66ghz dual-core intel xeon, 1gb ram, osx 10.5.2, indesign cs3
    my work mates system: mac G5, 1gb ram, indesign cs3, osx 10.5.2)

    Every system has issues when its first released.
    What's the point of jumping to a new system on a production machine when everything works perfectly in the old system?
    Monitor these forums and other boards and as soon as Apple and Adobe have a fix jump to the new system.

  • Can we open more than one  "folder" at a time in Bridge?

    When I click on a folder icon, the images appear in the Bridge workspace. Then when I click on another, different, folder icon, the previously displayed images are gone, and only the second folder's images appear. A priori, this seems to be an unnecessary limitation on functionality, and therefore I presume that I just do not know how to do what is called for: To use the functionality of Bridge for more than the contents of only one folder at a time.
    Yes, I know that I could, using, say, Windows Explorer, create a sort of "megafolder" into which I copied the contents of several folders, but this seems to be a kludge which should not be necessary.
    Did the designers of Bridge not contemplate that users would want to operate on the contents of more than one folder at a time? I presume that I am just ignorant of how to achieve what should be a normal functionality; seeing more than the contents of just one folder at a time.
    Please alleviate my ignorance.

    Quick way: Press Ctrl+N (Cmd-N mac) to open a new Bridge window. Open the second folder there.
    Not so quick way: Select menu File => New Window. Open the second folder there.
    If you MUST view all of the files in one window, all of your files MUST be in folders nested within the same parent folder. In that case:
    1) View the parent folder in bridge.
    2) Open the Filter palette.
    3) Click the microscopic button in the top left corner of the Filter palette, which looks like a folder with a "No" symbol on it. The tooltip label for that button is, "Click to view all items...".

  • I can't open more than 5 tabs at a time in Firefox

    This is how I work:
    I have 7 folders, each with 40 web pages as files.
    From each previous previous version of the Mac OS, including Mavericks, I've been able to open one of the folders, "Select All" and open all 40 web page files in tabs at once in Firefox.
    This way, I'm able to quickly go through 280 web pages very, very quickly.
    It was great. It always worked perfectly.
    Until I installed Yosemite.
    Now, with Yosemite, if I attempt to open more than 5 tabs at the same time, I get this message repeated over and over:
    Had I known this would be a problem, I wouldn't have upgraded.
    Is there a way of getting around this? Other than going through the cumbersome process of opening tabs 5 at a time?
    Oh, I am on a Macbook Pro. 2.5 GHz processor, 8 GB ram.
    Thanks for any help.

    I should add that I face the same problem with Safari and Google Chrome.

  • Can't open more than one document at a time

    I have to open a few text documents. No matter of they are three or six, sometimes it will open but most of times, they won't. Also, Pages won't start after jumping for a while in the Dock.
    If you open the documents from the Open menu it will work but the Dock icon is buggy.
    There is no way to fix this as this may be a bug that sometimes happens and other times does not…
    But thanks for reading.

    Thank you again for taking the time to reply again in this topic.
    "The latest" Pages app only can be… the latest version released, but again I can confirm as in my previous comment, YES the version is 4.3. There can be only *one* latest version possible! Pages 08 can't be the "latest".
    Aside, yes, as I commented I created the Pages icon dock again but the problem is still happening. Also, I'm referring to full documents, not parts of them. One of three documents won't open, for example.
    Computer is up to date, permissions are Ok, etc. No problem on maintenance.
    The documents are .doc or .docx, not templates, not uncommon documents, not .dotx files. Just text document they made using Windows. I'm a graphic designer and I receive the localizations to translate Photoshop designs into 5 or 6 languages, so they send me those texts in one document each language, so the files are small, 1 page documents with no images, macros or anything else than a few text lines.
    I've been using Pages for many years now and can't remember when it started to behave like this. Sometimes I just open those documents with Text Edit because it's faster and never fails.
    If I open the documents dragging them to the dock icon, one by one, with Pages all of them will open fine. If I use the menu option, the documents will all open fine. It just fails when opening a bunch of them using the dock. Sometimes three out of five are open, in rare cases all of them are open or Pages is just stalled and won't do anything.
    One example. I dragged all of these documents to Pages icon in the dock.
    Five of them opened instantly except the last one: "Traducción mailing Son Antem_RU.doc".
    If I drag this single document to the dock, it opens just fine like all the others. If I choose this one and 4 others, all of the five docs open fine. It looks like if there was a limit to open documents at a time from Pages dock icon, but this doesn't make any sense, I can open 15 documents at the same time from Photoshop, for example.
    If I open all these 6 items from the menu File > Open… all of them are opened, no problems.
    This eandom behaviour with no sense at all made me wanted to know what's happening with my Pages! It's really bothering me. Maybe I'll just have to change my habits and start using the File menu but I'm more of a drag and drop person.
    Thanks for your attention and bearing with this little, but annoying problem.

  • Can't open more than 150 files in camera raw?

    I have been trying to open multiple files from the bridge into the raw program for cs3...but if I try for more than 150 or so at once, it tells me the request can not be completed because too many files were selected for opening? I was able to open hundreds at a time with cs2's version of raw and bridge, so why can't I do this now? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Open Bridge CS3, select an image (or group of images), right-click (or control-click) and select "Open in Camera Raw..." from the popup menu.

  • I can't open more than one website at a time.

    Whenever I'm surfing the web, if I open another tab and try to load another page, it always tells me that the page cannot be loaded. I've tried it on other computers, and it's not a problem.

    Hi,
    Launch Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/safe+mode Safe Mode]. All extensions and themes will be disabled. Now try to open multiple windows and/or tabs. If it works, it proves you have a corrupt [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#new profile] probably caused by a bad extension (or upgrade).
    To make a new profile:
    * Close Firefox
    * Click on windows start button
    * %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ in the Search box at the bottom of the Start menu (without hitting Enter).
    * A list of profiles will appear
    * Change the name of the "default" folder
    * Restart Firefox
    If this solved your problem, you can install your addons, or just copy them from the old default folder (which you have changed the name) to the new one.
    Kind regards,
    Joren
