Can't open photo in Elements 9

I am unable to open the edit page after not saving the last photo I worked on in elements 9 can anyone please advise

Hi, thanks for responding to my query, and sorry that I have not replied before, I am getting on a bit and get lost in the pages.
If I am in the Organiser and try to go to editor I get the following, "this command could not be completed because the editor was busy"
If I start adobe in the editor, I can work on the photo causing the problem but when I try to save it the photo is copied with a different number,
I would appreciate any help you can offer,
Many thanks

Can't open photos in edit mode

I can;t open photos in edit mode in iPhoto '08. When I double click on a photo the main window remains blank (no "!" no"?"). This problem occurs with every photo in the library. My permissions are OK. I've also tried setting the preferences to edit in Photoshop but double clicking on the photos then still accomplishes nothing.

Steve:
Do you get a blank white window in the edit mode? If so that may mean you do not have access to the files. Try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
FYI:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't open files in Elements 6

I am a new mac user - switching from windows 3 weeks ago. Have Leopard installed on macbook pro and just bought Elements 6. I made Elements the default editor in Iphoto, however, can't open files in Elements nor in the Bridge that came with Elements. Also, the photos don't even show up in Bridge! Are they supposed to? I used Elements in Windows - had no trouble. Are Iphoto & Elements really compatible? What am I doing wrong?

The problem is your workflow. If you use iphoto, you don't use bridge, and you should never poke around in the iphoto library from any program except iphoto, since that's a fast road to corrupting the library, which is as delicate as a gardenia about being touched by anything but iphoto.
You have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor from iphoto in the iphoto preferences, then send your photos directly from iphoto to PSE. If you do that, Save, not Save As, without making any changes to the name or format of your photo and iphoto will keep one version + original for you. If you save another group of edits, it will replace the previous version.
2. Export the photos from iphoto to your desktop or somewhere and then use File>Open in PSE, save the photos under new names and reimport them to iphoto as new files.
If you prefer to use Bridge, then don't use iphoto. Trying to use both is a shortcut to madness.

Hi joolyjools,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are getting an alert that informs you to reinstall iTunes on your computer and you are concerned for your music and apps. If you delete iTunes and reinstall fresh you shouldn’t lose any content from the iTunes Library because the content is not actually stored in the iTunes program. The following article will assist you uninstalling iTunes and its components. After the uninstall, make sure to restart your computer and then you can download iTunes fresh from the Apple website.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update

Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
I hope this helps,

Can't open Photos library, and how to fix it?

I successfully migrated from iPhoto library to this new Photos Library in April.17th, and everything seems okay except for some minor bugs.
but from yesterday on, I started Photos and got this message "Can't open Photos Library, try another."
If I try reading iPhoto or Aperture Library. Photos started migration from iPhoto or Aperture Library process again.
So, In short, the newly migrated default library can't be read by Photos.
Recently I did some import from cameras and a newly bought Gopro, and MAYBE A HINT, when I connected Gopro to Mac, Photos automactically opened up its window and tried to import videos but only left me a permanent freezing, so I did forced close to Photos...maybe at that time the library was damaged...
Please...Is there any method to recover or rebuild the damaged library? I really don't want to re-immigrate from iPhotos library. Do Photos get any build-in fix tools or alike?

You can't open photo library using this version of iphoto. you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. please quit and use the latest version of iphoto

you can't open photo library using this version of iphoto. you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. please quit and use latest version of iphoto. iphoto 11 is installed.

This is a message you got?
If so, as your post isn't clear, it may be a bogus message caused by a corrupt database.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I have an iPhone 5S and I can't open photos that are emailed to me. It just says zip archive when I click on the jpg. Help?

I Have an iPhone 5S and I can't open photos that emailed to me. It just says Zip archive when I click on the JPG file to download it. Help?

whoever is emailing you the photos is sending them as a .zip file not a .jpg most likely because there is more than one photo. unfortunately iPhone does not have a .zip file reader so whoever is emailing the photos has to make sure they are not zip ing them and resend them as .jpg files. (usually gmail tries to convert several images into .zip files)

Hi, i can't open photo library on my iPhoto. Now lost all my photos. How to restore all photos on iPhoto on Macbookair?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Can't open photos in Camera Raw from Lightroom

Hi!
I used to open my (RAW) photos from Lightroom (2) into Camera Raw - it did it automatically when I clicked "edit in photoshop". Now it doesn't work anymore, and I have no idea why - it opens the pictures directly into Photoshop (CS4).
However, it works from the finder and from Bridge. Any idea what I should do to get that functionality back? I know some of you will say I should just develop my RAWs into LR, but I prefer Camera Raw and would love to get that option back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

1. I'm shouting because you don't seem to be hearing me when I'm speaking normally.
I (and others) are hearing. And we are offering what we can. You're
just not accepting it, in the spirit given, even if it's not what you
had hoped to hear.
2. I DO want to open CR. What I'm trying to accomplish is NOT to edit several pictures at once, but to open CR from Lightroom.
So ... you don't really care about editing multiple pictures; you only
care about using CR?
Even if I can edit multiple photos in LR, I will continue to use CR, by opening my pictures from the finder or from Bridge (which
>I've been doing all week). I'm not trying to be hardheaded, I just like my workflow the way it is, and I made that clear in the
>question to specifically avoid people coming around and telling me "oh but you can do this from LR". I don't care. I don't WANT to
>do it from LR. Otherwise my question would have been "how do I do this from LR"!!
Yes, we all got your preference (repeatedly). What you don't seem to
get is the fact that - even if you can't get what you want (i.e.,
using CR), you can still edit multiple pictures. Isn't doing that
the most important element? That you get your photos to look how
want/need them? Or your client wants/needs them, whichever? Or is the
most important thing to use a specific program?
Having a fallback plan to accomplish what you need (i.e., editing
multiple pictures) is key. Any fallback plan will be more unpleasant
than you first preference.
Suppose the answer had been "Nope; no way to do that using CR. None at
all" ... would you then not have edited those photos some other way?
Or would you simply have abandoned your images, since you couldn't get
your first preference (CR) to work the way you wanted?
My question was clearly "how do I open my files from LR into CR". Anybody who's responding anything else than "this is how
>you open your photos from LR into CR" or "you can't do that anymore" is just here for attention, not to help me. I would
>understand and appreciate the impulse to show me a new workflow if I hadn't SPECIFICALLY SAID IN MY QUESTION NOT TO
>DO THAT.
>
How can you not understand how frustrating that is?
I can. I can also understand how you sound, when you didn't get what
exactly you wanted, which you can't seem to understand.
Regardless, others have given you insight into how to let you use CR
(or other areas to explore, anyway), which (according to you) is what
you care about. So good luck with that, and I hope you find a final
solution that makes you happy. CR is an amazing program.

Can't open iphotos from elements 11

I have just migrated from PC to imac and re-downloaded Elements 11. I have configured iphoto to open photos in external editor of Elements. However, when in elements and I try to open another photo from iphotos file, I get the message that it can't, because it does not recognise that type of file ,although they are all jpegs. Has any one had a similar problem and if so is there a solution.

The iphoto library is designed for iphoto's own use and to poke around at it from outside iphoto is just begging for trouble. It's the fastest way to corrupt it and possibly lose all your photos, so PSE is deliberately designed to prevent you from doing this. If you use iphoto you must either send the photos from iphoto or export them and work on the copies.
