Cannot use Organizer in PSE 12.

I have recently bought PSE 12 on line from Adobe, downloaded it successfully, used the Editor but it won't open the Organizer.  Why ?  I have Windows 7, 4GB 64-bit o.s.  Can anyone help, bearing in mind I am not a computer geek  

Hi Sue,
I think that I might have confused you.
The idea was to minimize all your open applications and create a shortcut on your desktop so that you can launch the Organizer directly from your desktop.
When you right click on the desktop where there are no icons, you should see this
Select New then Shortcut - that should bring up this screen
Paste the following into the location box and click on Next to bring up the next screen
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Enter a name for the shortcut - I have used PSE Org - and click on Finish
A new Icon for the shortcut should appear on your desktop.
Double clicking on that should launch the organizer.
Hope that helps (and works)
Brian

  • Cannot load organizer in PSE or Photoshop Premiere elements 8

    My computer crashed and from that point on, I cannot load the organizer.  I have
    spoken to support, which did not rectify the problem.
    Just purchased elements 8 and am very disappointed.  Can anyone help?

    Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Organizer might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash.   Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

  • Using organizer In PSE 9

    How do tags and catalogs transfer with photos stored on a portable hard drive?  I use PSE 9 on two different computers.

    I can work on photos on two different computers.....whichever one I happen to be at.  I want to save my photos on a portable hard drive to access them on either computer.  What I am not understanding (nor could find an answer in my searches) is how are the tags and catagories "saved" with the photos.  When I pull up photos from the portable hard drive on say computer number 1, will the tags show with them even if I did the tagging on computer number 2?  Another way to possible put it is to ask where are the tags and catagory information stored?

  • Problem using FIND in PSE 6

    Hi
    This is probably a simple problem, but I did not see anything in the forum that explains the problem. Simply put, I cannot use the PSE 6 Organizer FIND capability. In particular, I have a bunch of images that were taken long ago with a Canon PowerShot A80 that I want to locate. If I Show All and then use the Find By Details (Metadata) option, and specify that the search should be for images where the camera make contains Canon, it returns 26 files. But there are at least several hundred in the catalog. If I look at some of the file properties of some of the images that are NOT returned in the search, the EXIF data indeed shows me that the camera maker is Canon.
    The only thing I can think may have affected this is that the older Canon pictures were initially imported in PSE 3, and I then upgraded to PSE 6 at some point.
    Has anyone seen this problem? Any ideas how to get it to work properly?
    Thanks

    Can you attach the screenshot of the properties dialog showing Exif data for an image which is not shown in the search results.
    You can also try making Camera model search. Please see if this solves your problem.

  • Organizer in PSE 5.0 is frozen due to a power surge.  How do I activate it?

    I am using Windows XP, PSE Version 5.0, and am trying to convert to PSE 8.0.  I installed 8.0 without a problem, however, I cannot convert my catalog from version 5.0 to 8.0.  I get the following error message:  "Conversion operation failed.  Try repairing the catalog with the software that created it and retry conversion."  I tried repairing the 5.0 version with the original disk, but the organizer is still frozen, and I am still unable to convert to the 8.0 version.
    Also, I currently have two catalogs in the version 5.0 with the same name (My Catalog.psa).  One has  all my pictures in it (which are frozen in the organizer), the other only has two pictures in it - which are not frozen.  Is there any way I can combine these two?  Maybe that would solve my problem!?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I solved my problem!  I saw an old posting in the forum from 2007!  Someone seemed to have the same problem.  They suggested searching for a file named thumb.5.cache (this is a cache of the thumbnails in the organizer) and renaming it!  Apparently, this forces the organizer to rebuild the file!  Much to my surprise - it worked!  I wasted a lot of time trying to figure it out, but was very excited that something finally worked! Maybe you can suggest this to someone else that may have a non-responsive organizer - and none of the usual suggestions are working.
    Converted the catalog from version 5 to version 8. Everything well, but now I have another question, which I will discuss in a new posting!

    I bought Adobe Elements 12; I cannot use panorama photomerge, I have followed the directions to go to Full Edit  mode in edit workspace> choose File> New> Photomerge. However the Photomerge does not work, it does not respond.
    The only thing I can come up with is that I found a blog that said that in the Trial version Photomerge does not work, however I do Not have the Trial version, I did at one time but I purchase Adobe Elements. Thank you.

    The blog was incorrect. Photomerge should work in the trial, too.
    When things get weird in PSE the first thing to do is to delete the prefs. Go to the editor preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor:

  • I only get hourglasses when I open the organizer on PSE 9

    I only get hourglasses when opening the organizer on PSE 9.  The only way to access the organizer is through the editor.

    When you open the Organizer from the Editor, use File...Watch Folders to either disable watching folders or choose the specific folder(s) you want to have watched.

  • I can't use organizer in elements 9 anymore

    I can't use organizer anymore. I used to but now it won't open.

    I get this error message
    It's in Finnish but the translation is somewhat "Updates cannot be installed! This bugfix file doesn't match your product. Check the newest available updates on Help section... bla bla blaa"
    I have registered and seems like there's problems logging in by using the "desktop launcher"..

  • Cannot use this product under a guest account

    I installed Photoshop Elements 12 today and registered online.  I tried to use Photo Editor and get a dialog box "cannot use this product under a guest account". I went to the Organizer side of the program and tied to log in under Help, but that didn't work.  Please tell me how to correct this issue.

    OK, we have a fix. My Administrator noticed that there was an Adobe Acrobat issue found at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/783362 that was almost identical to what I was experiencing.  In that thread, the user was a member of a group called “Administrators” but was also a member of the group called "Guests". The program saw both user accounts but allocated the user to the Guests account and gave the same error “Cannot use this product under a guest account”. With that background, my Administrator tried to remove me from the Guests group.  However, I have Windows 7 Home Premium as my operating system and it doesn't allow access to the Local Users and Groups Snap-in under the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). Therefore, he had to:
    Open a command prompt (run CMD as Administrator)
    net localgroup Guests  /delete
    Log off user
    Log back on as user.
    When he did that, I had a fully functional PSE12. So tomorrow I will begin to explore the new program and have high expectations that it will be as great as its reviews. Thanks again for all your help.

  • ORGANIZER IN PSE 10 WILL NOT OPEN, HAVE TRIED A HUNDRED TIMES, WORKED FINE PREVIOUSLY! HELP ANYONE!

    Organizer in PSE 10 wil not open, have tried a hundred times, worked fine previously, help anyone?

    Thanks for your response DJ. I have Windows Vista and I'am getting NO error messages, crazy right? I just click on the organizer and it acts like its going to do something and then you wait and wait for maybe 30 minutes and it just doesn't move forward. I have been using the PSE programs for many years and have never encountered this problem! I have thousands of pictures on this program and its starting to freak me out that I cant access any of them! If you have any additional ideas please let me know. Thanks Julie

  • Using Organizer on Two Computers

    If I have Photoshop Elements installed on two computers (home and laptop), is it possible to store the organizer files and the photograph files on a portable drive so that I can use them with both computers?  If so, how do you set the organizer files location to use the portable drive?  Thanks in advance, AG

    On one computer, you would have to move the photos and catalog to the external hard drive, using Organizer commands (not Windows or Mac Finder).
    Go to Folder Location View, and then drag all of your folders to the external hard drive. You can drag the top level folder and all folders under it will also move. If the external HD doesn't show in Folder Location View, then you might need to place a dummy photo on your external HD and import it into PSE.
    Next, you need to move the catalog file and all files in that folder to the external HD. You would find your catalog file using the Organizer command Help->System Info. Then do the move to the External HD, and double-click on the catalog file on the external HD. Exit from PSE.
    Next, connect the external HD to the other computer, and double-click on the catalog file on the external HD.
    Depending on what version of PSE, you may need to make sure that the external HD has the exact same letter on each computer.
    From this point on, please be sure to use the catalog file and photos on the external HD. If you open the other catalog files, you will get confused.

  • Loaded Elements 10 onto my new computer but cannot use photo email.  After composing the email I get message that says unable to complete.  I used photo email many tmes on old computer.  Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, Starter Edition 3.2 has been discontinued for some time now; an alternative option (which is free) could be google Picasa; check that one out to see if it might work for you.
    Photoshop Elements replaced Starter Edition, and comes with a sophisticated organizer that essentially does what Starter Edition did; download the tryout and use it for 30 days for free to see if it does what you want it to.

  • In Adobe Acrobat 9 which I have been using for a long time (Widows 7) says, You cannot use this prod

    In Adobe Acrobat 9 (Wndows 7) which I have been using for a long time now it says I cannot use it withoutv repairing.  It instructs me to uninstall & reinstall...

    I have not run into this yet with my AA9 and Win7, but have been seeing posts about it. I would try a repair before I would do an uninstall and reinstall. You might also turn off javascript for a bit in case there has been some javascript that has caused problems (ok, making wild guesses). If you do decide to uninstall, be sure to deactivate first, uninstall, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. Then proceed to the reinstall and updates.
    There is a question about whether being able to use it is correct, or you are just getting some message that is a spam that somehow got into your system (again, a possible javascript issue). Besides turning off javascript, you could also try isolating the javascripts to moving them to a temporary directory and seeing if one is causing the problem.
