Catalog backup problems with PSE 11

Hi,
I'm having terrible problems trying to backup my catalog to an external hard drive.
My PC is running Windows 7 with 8 GB of internal memory. My external hard drive is formatted to FAT 32 and has 130GB of spare capacity. My catalog is 45GB.
I have previously backed up the the catalog without any problems but can't remember if I did this before I upgraded to PSE 11.
I initially tried doing a full backup but got an error part way through writing the 'breeze' data. Having read that the breeze data was only used for face recognition, I deleted the remaining breeze data files and tried again.
I then encountered a problem when writing some of my early .jpg files. I couldn't see any obvious problem with these but tried removing them and runnning the back up again.
This time it got a bit further but hung up on some .mpg files.
I removed all video files and tried again.
This time it got up to over 60% complete but it then hung up on some early files which had a 'description' 2002 rather than a straight date name to the file. I thought that there might be a problem with file names including ' 's ', so removed these and tried again.
I then tried running Catalog 'optimize' and 'repair' (I didn't tick 'the re-index visual similarity data').
I eventually got up to over 65% complete but couldn't get the backup to go past my 2007 files no matter what files I removed.
I then tried doing an incremental backup using a Catalog file that I had created in 2011. This backup failed with 'an error encountered while writing.....WaldoData\waldo.cache'
I now don't know what to try! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
FYI, looking at the backup Catalog files that I have previously created, it appears that only the first contains all the images from whole catalog with an equal number of .xml files.
Two others which I created (which I can't remember were full or incremental backups) only have some of the images. I'm sure that this can't be right.
I presume that for an intial backup the .xml files should run from B0000001 to Bnnnnnnn; the .jpg/.mpg/ etc from Bnnnnnnn+1 to B 2(nnnnnnn) and that when one runs an incremental back up the new .xml files are added from B2(nnnnnnn)+1 to B2(nnnnnnnn)+(mmmm) and the image files continuing for a further (mmmm). Is this correct?
Otherwise what should one be seeing?
Regards
Mike

Thank you for your information about my problem with PSE 11. I have since tried the programme on 2 different computers and it works fine. Seems like the problem is with my computer although my old PSE 10 works okay. I'd appreciate any ideas about what could be wrong with my computer to cause my photos to break up into various segments which don't join together particularly when I move them into 'before and after horizontal' or '......vertical' and even when zooming them.

Fragmentation problems with PSE 11

I have just installed PSE & Premier Elements 11 on Vista Ultimate. When I try to edit my photos they become fragmented and look like a jigsaw puzzle. This does not happen with PSE 10 on the same computer. Can anyone tell me why this occurs? Could it be a fault with the software?

Few problems with PSE 11

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my PS Elements 11. I was working on trial and then decided to buy full version, however few things seems to work different than on my trial and I can't find solution.
1) When I copy one image to another it makes transparent layer on it altho capacity is set on 100% still. On my trial image copied or cuted to another pic was looking exactly as original and after I could lower transparency by lowering capacity.
2) When I want to use normal brush and make just one spot, or paint with one line not with a lot of points or other symbols. I thought aerograph function is the reason but it paints with it and normal the same (as many symbols)
3) When I select part of image with square selection tool it makes a circle with it or rounded field but somehow square selected image is finally copied. It seems it finds some borders on img by itself and changes selected square to it.
I would be very glad if someone could help me to resolve those issues. I will feel free to post others also if I they will come to my mind.
thanks!

Photoshop Elements 12, WIndows 7, Catalog backup problem

I have a problem with the backup function within Organizer. The catalog has been optimized without problem and I have run the repair command. No errors were detected but I have run repair anyhow. When I start the backup function the program hangs at the beginning of compiling the size of the backup. All pictures are correctly connected.
What can be the reason aund how can the problem be solved?

Backup problem with LMS 3.0 on Solaris

Hi All,
I'm encountering problems with LMS 3.0 when I try to do a backup. After you hit OK on the window that says "Do you want to backup now?", an error would pop up saying: "Enter a new directory name or ask the system administrator of the Ciscoworks Common Services server to make the directory accessible to user casuser", thus I cannot proceed with the backup process. When I do backup, my login privilege is admin. Even tried to do backup on the same partition as my CSCOpx directory but to no avail.
Appreciate your help on this guys. Our LMS 3.0 runs on Solaris platform. Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your prompt response. By the way, what is a casuser? Is he also one of the user that can be found on the Local User Setup on Common Services? The scenario here is that, I am not the one who installed the Ciscoworks LMS 3.0 on the client side, so I am not aware on how they did the installation procedure for the application. I remember assigning casuser password during installation on our other clients that has LMS 3.0.
Will the write access on the backup directory for the casuser be done by the Solaris root administrator?
Thanks for your help.

Problem With PSE-2 and New 1.5 TB Drive

Hi all. First of all, I've been using my registered PSE-2 for several years with no problem. AMD Athalon 7750 dual core at 2.7 Ghz, 2.0 G Memory. WD 1.5 TB primary and WD 500 GB secondary drive.Win XP SP3. I recently had a drive fail and installed a new freshly formatted WD 1.5 TB as my boot drive. Fresh install of WinXP and updates. Now when I install Elements, it appears to install fine. The problem comes when I attempt to start it the first time I get "Could not initialize Photoshop Elements because the scratch discs are full". Then Elements closes, thus not allowing me to do anything with the internal configuration of the program. I have tried unistalling and installing to the 500 GB drive, but still get the same error. I have increased my page file memory Does anyone know of a problem with installing Elements on a large drive or can anyone offer a possible solution to what I am seeing? Thanks in advance for suggestions...
JohnR.

I think Barbara meant photoshop 7, which was out a little before pse2.
If you hold down the Alt+Ctrl keys just after you start pse2, a dialog
should appear allowing you to choose the scratch disk (keep holding
the keys until the dialog appears)
If you have a recovery partition on your hard drive, try choosing this for
the scratch disk and then exit pse2. Then restart pse2 and from
Preferences>Plug-ins and Scratch Disks choose your regular hard drive for the scratch disk.
Newer versions of pse, at least newer than 3 or 4 don't seem to have this problem.

Problems with PSE 10 when saving for the web.

I'm having problems saving for web with PSE 10. I edit in RAW, edit in PSE 10, save as Jpeg, resize and save for the web. Results are muddled and not sharp (looks cartoonish). Also, there is no metadata when you look at the image properties. I uninstalled the program and installed again. No change.

Are you resizing the photo before save for web?
What settings are you using in the save for web dialog for the jpeg quality?
If you compress the jpeg too much (low quality settings below 60), that can make your photos look bad.
And save for the web in pse 10 automatically strips any metadata in order to keep the file sizes smaller.
Also, the save for web in pse 10 has a bad habit of not remembering your last used settings, so it's good to verify that your actually set to jpeg instead of the default GIF setting.

Problems with PSE 8.0 (Mac version)

Hi,
I have two problems regarding PSE and Adobe Customer Service.
First things first :
1. When I try to run successfully installed software I receive this error:
and I don't know what to do next. Im trying to run it on Leopard Snow.
2. I bought software from shop on adobe.com and when contacted with polish Adobe division (country I'm from) I was denied any customer assistance (even when they checked that this software is legit). They claim that I can only contact with american division. Is that right? I'm pretty much sure that I have right to call to the nearest customer service and ask for help - but maybe Im wrong.
Best regards

Problems with PSE 8.0

Please Help:
PSE 8.0 has become so buggey it is bemome unusable. If I go dirictrlly to Organizer on sartup it will work, but if I use any other program first, organizer will not open unless I reboot the computer. I would like to reload Elements and sart from scatch, but i used the downloaded version and can't fgure out how to make this work. I have had quit a few problems with the pse line over the years but this problem is quite vexing. Any help or adivice would be greatly appreciated.

opening PSE when i try to open organizer is just crashes, but when I open editor it opens right up with no problems what ever. And this problem continued even after unloading and reloading the program from start. I have just run out of ideas. I am know considering Paintshop Pro Photo.

Problems with PSE 11 and Filter Forge

Is anyone else having problems launching Filter Forge from PSE 11? It used to work, but now freezes after a very partial load. FF still works with PSE 9, and yes, I have the latest version of PSE 11 installed on a 64-bit version of Win 7 Pro.

I did not use the trial version of PSE 7 but installed directly from a purchased CD. The "registration" option under the help menu of the editor is not highlighted and there is no option to deactivate the serial number under help in either the editor or the organizer. Therefore I must assume that Ankush is correct that there is nothing that I need to do prior to uninstalling PSE 7.
Also, am I correct to assume that since this original post was marked as a discussion and not a question, I do not need to close it in any way?
Thanks to all who have responded and offered assistance.

Backup Problem with Windows Server Backup

Hello,
we have problems with Windows Server Backup Feature.
Our system is a Windows Server 2008 Standard. On the computer runs a SQL Server 2005.
Since several days no backup can be carried out. We get the error message:
- Error during a Volume Shadow Copy service operation. Detailed error: Failed to process the volume shadow copy: "0x800423F0".
- Errors in the event log: For the started backup an error occured. The volume shadow copy operation was not successful. Error code: "2155348129". Run the backup again after the problem was fixed.
We have already tried to restart the services, uninstalled the Windows Server Backup Feature and reinstalled it, also we rebootet the server several times. Unfortunately, so far without success.
What else can we do respectively where could be the problem?
Kind regards

Hi Sven,
Please check if there a system partition that is created on the server. If so, assign a drive letter on the partition to check the results.

Any problems with PSE 11

I'm thinking of getting PSE 11 from Amazon. Currently I have PSE 9. I wonder if there have been anay problems with installation and running from mac users.

Hi. You’ve posted your question in a forum that is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop. I'm moving your question to the Photoshop Elements forum for specialized attention to your situation.

Time Machine Backup Problem with OS X 10.9.4

I am having a problem with the Time Machine backup on a MacBook Pro 2.6 running OS X 10.9.4. What is happening is it starts the backup and then gets to a certain point and just freezes indefinitely at that point. (Indefinitely meaning overnight >12 hrs) I deleted the sparsebundle file and restarted the backup and it essentially freezes at the same point. It's like there's a particular file it has an issue with. Is there a way to tell what file it's backing up when it freezes so I can exclude it from the backup. I initially thought it was a Time Capsule and backing up over the network issue. I acquired a USB 3 Seagate drive and tried using it with the same result. So, the issue has nothing to do with the Maverick network "qwerks" I've seen referenced.
My initial backup size is about 250 GB. I've pared that back by excluding the Parallels Virtual Machines on the hard drive and my IPhoto Library. That scales the back up size to about 55 GB.   Before I did the file exclusion it was hanging up at 1.83 GB out of ~250GB. Now it's hanging up at 1.82 GB out of ~55 GB. So it's as if it is reaching some file it has an issue with and stopping.
Any thoughts?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes.)

CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
so that all messages are showing, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Time machine backup problem with upgrade to Lion - Choose Backup Disk button non-existant

Hi, I just upgraded my mac mini to Lion and have encountered a problem with by Time Machine. It no longer sees my networked drive for back up. So, I followed the instructions on this site http://code.stephenmorley.org/articles/time-machine-on-a-network-drive/ and get to item 6b. and have a problem I have not been able to sort out. Instead of the button "Choose Backup Disk" on the Time Machine window, I have a button "Select Disk" with a button "Options" under it. When I click "Select Disk" I get a window promtping me to "Set Up Other Time Capsule" and clicking that takes me to a window for AirPort Utility. (screen shot )
Anyone know why I don't have the right button for starters and why I can't access any drives on my machine at all? I followed the web instructions on the site I mention above because initially I had an error about AFP, so suspected the drive set up here (it is my work) is incompatible.
(The only IT guy we have is on vacation for 2 weeks and then I am on vacation for 2 weeks and can't wait a month in order to back up! Thought I would try here to see if I can get answers before I am away.)
Thanks in advance!

i had a similar problem when I first installed Lion last year. It seems that some network NAS products need a firmware update to work with Lion. I contacted the manufacturer and they helped me out. I am using a Synology NAS system. Problem solved after firmware update.
