Elements 10 not loading actions anymore?? HELP!

I've had PSE 10 for a while now, and have lots of actions (about a dozen) loaded in from the internet. They've been working fine for about a year, and all of a sudden they stopped showing up in the effects panel! For no reason. I have done nothing to make them stop showing up.
I checked the photo effects folder and they are still there.
I tried deleting the tumbs database file and restarting, and they still didn't show up. (tried this several different times)
I tried removing all the actions, then putting only one in and restarting and that didn't work.
I tried completely uninstalling PSE and reinstalling it, then installing the action again and that didn't work.
Getting very frustrated as I have a lot of photos waiting to be edited and I'd like to use my actions!
Using on a MacBook Pro, FYI.

Did you delete mediaDatabase.db3?

Elements will not load

Having huge problems with Elements 11 not loading at start up and takes 20 min. or more and the downloader will not load at all.
Note that the editor will pop up when I use the File Explorer when I click on a photo selection.
Adobe will not offer help on this issue per my discussion with their tech support.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
This can take a minute or two if you have a large cache.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Photoshop CS6 Not Loading: Actions & Preferences Errors

Photoshop CS6 has been working like a dream, and recently it has pushed some very large files.
But, upon trying to open Photoshop this morning, I get these two messages:
Could not load actions because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.
Could not initialize Photoshop because the Preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted).
          - although the file was still in the AppData...Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings.
Tried to 'restore' Preferences:
Keyboard - CTRL ALT SHFT upon clicking PSD icon
Said 'Yes' to allow changes to system
Still received same two messages
Removed the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp
          Restarted Photoshop, still received same two messages.
          Tried resetting, CTL ALT SHFT, again still same two messages.
Read Adobe thread to 'rename' the Actions Palette.psp, but keep it in the folder:
I renamed it 'renamed' and left the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp in the folder as well.
Did not receive the 'load actions' error, but
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Tried CTRL ALT SHFT to reset,
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Left the Actions as 'renamed', but removed the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp file as well.
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Tried CTRL ALT SHFT to reset,
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Do I need to do a re-install?
Thanks bunches,

I am having only the single issue:
Could not initialize Photoshop because preferences files was invalid (it has been deleted).
What happened was that I had to do a force quit (Mac OSX 10.8.4) due to Spotlight and Parallels Win 7 running a system slowdown.   I don't believe my new HD is corrupted. BUt there has to be a way to get PShop working again.. I've tried shift start and not loading 3rd party plugins, but nothing is working.
UPDATE: Download and reinstall fixed it after uninstalling and removing preferences. However, you can't use the CC Applications Manager to do so. You have to do a direct download.

i have this message today and I don’t know what to do, I have PS CC : Could not load actions because an unexpected end of file was encountered

See whether a reset of Preferences solves the problem
A logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

imac 21inch 2010 on boot vertical green lines then white screen ,will not load can anyone help please

Howdy carliosa,
If your iMac is not starting up normally you may need to do some checking to make sure things are working correctly. I would suggest starting with the steps in this article -
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Pictures not loading can anyone help ??

I'm working on my first serious pages document, but keep loosing a number of pictures in the document. They show up as gray sizeable shape with question mark and when saving, I get warning that -...list...- pictures could not be loaded with a button 'continue'.
The document is only 20 pages long and I understand that one might create 400 pages long docs
After splitting the document, the problem persists also in document of 6 pages, with different pictures.
Can anyone please help??

All pics I use are saved in .jpg in iPhoto and they are all from the same camera and photo-session and are directly dropped in pages from iPhoto.
All other pics in the document are OK, but some of them 'get lost' somewhere along the process.
When dropped, they are OK, but after some time, or after a save command in pages, do not show up anymore (question mark for size + location).

Captivate 4 shortens timeline - elements are not displayed right anymore

Hi there,
I already searched the forum but couldn’t find an answer. Maybe someone of you can help me.
I have a weird problem with the timeline – in short: it changes.
I have some slides, based on imported Power Point slides. Within captivate I add some Audio (TTS), let appear images & textboxes simultaneously, add buttons etc.
Sometimes I extend the slide duration (for example when slide transition is set to automatically).
And now the problem that occurs: Captivate shortens the timeline – exactly to the length where the audio ends. Doing this causes that elements which are placed at the end of the slide are also shortened and not displayed right anymore.
This is shown in the following screenshot. On the left side of the cursor you can see an image element that normally should fade in directly after the audio ends and should stay for 4 seconds.
I couldn’t figure out when this happens. This means that I have to check every slide again to make sure that all elements are displayed right. Locking elements or the slide itself doesn't help.
Does anybody know why this happens and how to avoid this? I am using Captivate 4 and publish as an .exe or an .swf
Your help is appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Hi Noel
If you click Edit > Preferences > Global > Defaults do you have the option Calculate caption timing enabled?
If so, that's likely your issue. Clear the option and your timing should stay put when you make edits.
Cheers... Rick

Premiere Elements 9 not loading the workkspace or projects

Hi, I am new to the forum.
Have recently pruchased Premiere Elements 9 along with Photoshop Elements 9 and installed. PE9 works perfectly. Premiere Elements worked once but since then will not load the Workspace or a Project. Have uninstalled and re-installed in various modes as suggested by Adobe Support to no avail. Have downloaded the Trial Version also and this also will not load a workspace. Have 2 conmputers, a Desktop and a Laptop and as far as I am aware they are both up to date but perhaps I am not computer literate enough to know. Adobe Support suggest I try the forum so perhaps they are as confused as I am. Any help out there.

Bill
Many thanks for your advice over the last few days.
I use both a Laptop and a Desktop, but all my video editing is done on my
Laptop. This allows me to take my projects with me when at my Caravan or to
the video club that I am a member of.
The problem appears to be that on my Laptop my HDD capacity is only 100GB
and my free space is only 15GB even without installing Premiere Elements 9.
All my files are stored on my external HDD and its drive letter is set at G:
Itr's capacity is 700GB with currently 522GB free space. I delete all files
after completing a project and defragment
I also wanted to instal Premiere Elements 9 on my desktop but the HDD
Capacity on C: Drive is only 60GB with 14 GB free space and on the D: drive
again it is only 60GB with free space of 44GB.
I think your advice suggests that I need new computers?
Regards
Frank
Frank,
I do not recall if you have a laptop, or desktop computer, but if the
latter, adding another, physical HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is quite easy, and
inexpensive.
With SATA HDD's, when one gets to about 70% of capacity, they begin to slow
down. At 90%, the slowdown is quite noticeable, regarding the I/O
performance. Near 100%, drive failure is common.
The general recommended amount of defragmented free space is 20 - 30 GB, and
I recommend around 40 - 60 GB, to allow the drive some headroom to work with
the large working files, necessary in video-editing. This is above the Video
Assets, and the output AV files.
An external HDD is very useful when editing, but some considerations must be
made. A USB external is good for archiving, but little else. That connection
is very slow, and many users also experience read/write errors, when trying
to edit to/from those. In severe cases, this has resulted in the total loss
of all data on those USB externals. FW-400 is more stable, albeit still very
slow. FW-800 has worked very well for me, and eSATA is even better,
providing real-world performance akin to internal SATA HDD's.
If editing to/from the FireWire, or eSATA external, one should set its drive
letter permanently in the OS of the computer, so that it always appears as
the same drive letter.
Good luck,
Hunt

Mac mail will not load emails anymore, just keeps "Loading..."

Hello,
For some reason, mac mail will not load previous emails. It is only one account, when I click on that mailbox, it just keeps "Loading" and never retreives emails. The acounts are fine. It was fine 5 minutes ago, now it is not. This has happened once in the past and it was never resolved. I recreated the account, and lost all the emails.
Please help!
Thank you,
Greg

I just discovered I was a life saver, thanks for the kudos everyone.
Why? It's not your fault. It's because how Apple Mail stores mail, it simply is not robust enough.
A robust program assumes that it may crash at any moment while writing to any of its files, and that there will be undiscovered, rarely occurring bugs that will have similar effect. The damage it does needs to be detected later and then repaired automatically or degraded gracefully so only one mail is lost, and not all of them.
Evidently, Apple fails to do so or didn't do a thorough job.
For mail this is really urgent, because a mail program does many things simultaneously which increases the chance that things go wrong once in a while, and on top email comes from the wild world outside and can contain many types of junk that need to be contained. Mail server delivery data muck, deliberate attempts to hack your mailbox by mail, phishing attempts, html newsletters made by Neanderthalers or marketeers, other buggy mail programs, poorly made phising mails, regular spam, you name it.
So there are a lot of possible 'runaway cars' that may dent another in the parking lot, but this should never cause an entire parking lot building to tilt so all the cars roll to one side of the floor and while still there, can't open the doors anymore.
Computer science made many solutions for this the past 3 decades and it isn't even that hard to do, many file formats have auto-recovery features.
For example: You may have seen a movie on TV or internet, or skype conversation that goes into "weird blocks" a few seconds and then go back to normal. That's damaged data and auto-recovery of the data format kicking in to fix it or at least reduce the damage. Without it, you'd be looking at digital snow for the rest of the show. Apple does the latter to your mail.
In modern databases this is done all the time, because a company can't afford to lose all of its financial data because 1 record went bad or there once was a power outage. For a user, losing his/her mail can be just as catastrophic. If they can, Apple can. Come on.
But that answer won't help ya, unless someone at Apple actually READS these threads and feels intense SHAME that they did not listen to that inner voice saying: hmm it looks spiffy now but we really gotta work on the internals a bit more. No, data is not sexy. Yes, it's boring. But it's necessary. Remember Steve's step father taught his son that the backside of a drawer should also be made neatly. Dad was right folks.
Since this mail I'm going into my 3rd combat with Mocrosoft Exchange which is another factor that, while it should be better than regular mail, also is another rogue runaway car that dents the fragile internal file structure of Apple Mail.
Yours truly, an Apple fanboy.

How can I view or load messages in my mail folders? It disappeared somewhere? It's not loading. Please help.

I tried to view the messages in the "folders" in my mail, but unfortunately, it's not loading anything...it was perfectly doing okay before not until 3 days ago. Someone can help me fix this out is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Always try the simple things first .... a simple restart may work.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail app and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Itunes will not load, someone please help!?

i have read all the forums, and nothing is working for the technical help that I need, itunes will not load or work and no matter what help I am trying to seek, nothing is working. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, everything that people are advising but nothing seems to work. Basically each time I try to click on itunes to load, the timer appears but nothing else. I have just replaced my iphone and I cant get it to sync with my itunes so basically i cant use my phone either, please help anyone?! thanks, terri!

I believe the files need to be in MPEG-4 format. Or that is what I am converting my movies in and it works fine.
Movies you download off of iTunes are in M4V format, which is probably Apples MPEG-4 format name.

Pages not loading correctly anymore

Running firefox 7.01 on win7 64 bit. I just recently got a popup asking me whether I would like to see additional information from when I click on a link (on my nas) or not. I selected no. However, now I do not get any confirmation dialogs anymore and some websites (which use java) seem to have stopped working. I went into settings but could find nothing that would block these particular sites are particular java options.
How can I get this back to where it was before because now I am unable to access some sites that do not load with this setting in place anymore

Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x
