Elements 6.0 Organizer won't open

When I try to open the Elements 6.0 Organizer from the desktop icon, the Elements Welcome Screen, or from within the Editor, I get a message saying that the Adobe Photoshop Organizer has stopped working, and that Windows will shut down the program. I have tried resetting the preference files and registry for the Organizer. I have tried opening the catalog repair by holding alt/ctr/shift while clicking on Organizer in the Welcome screen. I have tried downloading and applying the licensing patch. When I check the log.txt in Word pad, the last item listed is OLS initializing.
The problem began after I tried to upload a series of photos to Shutterfly. The process stalled after loading 4 out of 21 photos.
I have been using Photoshop Elements 6.o for a year with Windows Vista with no problems previous to this one.

Carla,

Look at the information here to reset the Organizer's online services state.

Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.

Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.
This just started happening.... When I open Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 in Windows 7 and click on Organizer to open my catalog, I get a message that reads, " The catalog could not be opened because it is currently in use by another program." I know of no other program. I do backup my pictures with a Seagate backup external drive. How can I resolve this so I can work with my pictures again. Could this have anything to do with Adobe's switch to Adobe Revel?

Have you tried restarting the computer?

PRE8 Organizer won't open-Win7

For some reason Organizer won't open. Crashes when I try to open it, eithe from startup menu or within program.
Tried restarting the program and the computer several times.
The problem started occurring when I had just imported several HD vids into the gallery and then clicked the Organizer button while the program was "conforming media". Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Brand new PC, Win 7, 8 core Intel with 1.5TB HD and 8Gigs RAM.
Organizer crashed a few times before but would start working again somehow. Not this time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jon

No previous version installed. It was the original PRE8 installation. Just decided to stop working?!

You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Hi sambanyc,
What version of Adobe Reader have you installed on your Mac?
Please try installing on a different Admin user account and check if that makes a difference.

PSE12 Organizer won't open.

PSE12 photoshop side is working fine, but the organizer won't open. I says there is a problem. I have updated the OS system and Adobe software and it still isn't working. Suggestions? I spent a long time editing a photo and now have nothing to show for it.

You need to help us out a little here. Like, what operating system this is and exactly, word for word, what the error message says, and which updates to the OS you just applied, for starters.

? Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer won't open on Windows Vista ?

I installed Photoshop Elements 8 onto a Windows Vista computer and registered. The Organizer opened with broken thumbnails throughout and I could not update the thumbnails. Therefore, I closed the Organizer and opened it again, hoping it would clear up. Instead, the Organizer would not open at all, and I've not been able to open the Organizer since.
Despite several Support cases, Tech Support could not help. They said to uninstall Elements and reinstall it, but when I uninstalled, the disc software screen said I must first deactivate my serial # by launching Elements 8 and going to Help > Deactivate.
However, when I launched Elements 8, a screen appeared with a choice of either a free trial or to enter my serial #. I entered my serial # and got a red "X", and it would not accept the serial #. Tech Support said there is nothing wrong with my serial #.
Tech Support then said to download the Trial Version. I did that, but could not open the trial version either!
Message:
"Files in use. Some files that needed to be updated are currently in use."
"The following applications are using files that need tro be updated by this setup.
Close these applications and click Retry to continue.
Organizer - Photoshop Elements"
So it thinks my Organizer is open and using files, and it's not open. I can't get it to open!
I clicked RETRY and got the same message.
I clicked IGNORE and it was installing files, got almost to the end, said "registering product", then said "rolling back action" and started going backwards.
I had uninstalled my Elements 7 software because I intended to now use Elements 8. I decided to reinstall Elements 7 to use that while I was dinking around with version 8, and now it gave me the same message:
the serial # is in error, or is already in use by someone else!
Now I can't use either 7 or 8.
HELP! Does anyone know how to deactivate a serial # when the software has already been uninstalled? Can it be done?

Hi Ankush
Thank you for your reply!
Unfortunately, I can't try out your suggestion until next summer, because in early November I moved to my winter home in Florida. I left my Vista computer in Colorado Springs in its sorry state of nonworking Adobe Elements versions 7 and 8. I took the software discs with me.
When I arrived in Florida I bought a new computer. I had left Colorado without being able to deactivate the Elements 8 serial number, so would not be able to use that software disc in Florida. Therefore, I asked Adobe for a refund. (Some of the tech support cases regarding the problem were still open and unanswered.) Adobe replied that the month warrranty had run out so they wouldn't give me a refund. I argued a little, then gave up.
Therefore, I bought a new Elements 8 software program. And the old XP Florida computer contains Elements 7 and I have the disc.
The new problem: I must know how to DEACTIVATE a serial number before I dare install the new Elements 8 softtware, in case anything goes wrong, or in case I have to reinstall Windows 7 for some reason, which would wipe out any 3rd-party software. I also must know how to DEACTIVATE the Elements 7 serial number on my old XP computer so that I can install it on my new computer.
I opened a CHAT session with Adobe and asked how exactly to do this, because their FAQs and other information aren't at all clear. Here's what the tech said to do. Launch Adobe. You will see "Help" on the "toolbar". Click "help" and select "deactivate". Well, all I get when I launch is a Welcome Screen and there is no toolbar with help there. So I thought, maybe he means, open the Organizer or Editor and look for the Help menu. I opened the Organizer, clicked on Help, and there was no deactivate option listed. So I opened the Editor and clicked on Help and there was no deactivate option listed.
I just opened a case with Adobe asking what I have to do to deactivate a serial number. I don't see why they can't explain this.
Have you any idea how this is done?

Photoshop Elements Organizer won't open on Windows 7

It was working fine one day, I was adding pictures and actually was ordering prints through
Shutterfly and came back to computer and organizer wouldn't open. Any suggestions with
out reloading software?
Pam

Actually I found the problem after searching through the forum list - it was the solution to reset the organizer's online-services state.
Right, that was the step 7 I referred to.
Is there a known problem with this feature? I definitely am leery of ordering prints through the organizer field again.
Yes, it's been a known problem in the Organizer since at least PSE 6 (2007), with an Adobe tech note describing the problem and the workaround:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405252.html
Like most bugs in the Organizer, Adobe has explicitly chosen not to fix it.
The problem appears to occur when an upload to a service is interrupted or fails. The workaround, deleting those files, seems pretty reliable.

Elements 11 trial version won't open

I've just downloaded a trial version of Elements 11. However, it won't open on my Mac.
I've installed it twice, and have restarted my computer, but to no avail. When I click on the icon for 'Open Photoshop Elements 11', all I get is a window containing 'Read me' in four different languages, and the installer icon (containing 'deploy', 'install', 'packages', and 'payloads'.
Am I missing something?
Any advice appreciated.
Donna

Thanks for responding, Barbara.
When I double click 'install', I get the adobe installer screens, and the installation goes smoothly. No 'error' message.
I don't have 'sugarsync' or anything like it. I'll uninstall the programme and download it one more time.

Unfortunately, there can be many reasons that PSE crashes or won't start. I suggest working methodically through these steps:

My computer updated to Windows 8.1 and now photo organizer won't open in my Elements 12.

Windows automatically updated to 8.1 and now, the Elements 12 that I bought to work with windows 8 won't load the Photo Organizer at all.

I have exactly the same problem!
I am attempting to run Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer on a Windows 8.1 OS and have entered the "DirectX is installed but cannot be initialized" HELL! Per the suggestions of many, many other users apparently residing in this HELL with me I have a) clicked "off" and reclicked "on" the "Turn Windows Feature On & Off / Legacy Systems / Direct Play" option and b) verified that "Windows / System 32 / quartz.dll" seems to be a legitimate file at 1.49MB and c) rebooted my computer so many times my boots are getting worn out and d) uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop Elements twice. Does anyone here have any other suggestion or fixes for this apparently common and widespread Adobe problem that renders Photoshop Elements about 50% unusable? Thanks.

Elements 9 Organizer won't open

I hope someone can help as it appears that Adobe will not. I have both Elements 8 and 9. I bought 9 as a result of a special offer as an 8 user. I downloaded it online last July. From the beginning I could not open the 9 Organizer. Every time I try it pops up a box that says it is "restoring people recognition data..." It gets to 22% complete and stops working and the only thing I can do is shut it down which always shuts down Organizer. I have been busy with other matters since and have just taken the easy way out and used 8. Recently I started editing in 9 but organizer 8 can't recognize my saved edits. Since I can't open Organizer 9 I can't do the things I want. I can find nothing on this subject anywhere on Adobe web-site and a chat with them reveals that this is the only way I can get help. Does anyone know how I should proceed?

Thanks Ken, I was able to get Organizer 9 open immediately. I did not, however, clearly understand the rest. First since my Organizer 9 was never open before I had no previous catalog or at least I don't think so unless Organizer made one by itself that I never saw. I figured though it might be best to go back to the original anyway. I searched Organizer for an Edit tab but everything I found took me to Editor 9. I opened Editor 9 Preferences but did not find a Media Analysis tab and thus was unable to turn it off. What do you think? Am I missing something important?

Photoshop elements organizer won't open

I've tried opening the Organizer from the task bar, the Welcome Screen, and from inside the Editor, but nothing happens. Help!

Hi
I think you need to contact Adobe directly (I have done this recently and the team were brilliant – they took over my computer and the issue was resolved) using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”
It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Ask to be transferred to technical support. Have your serial number available. The agent can directly troubleshoot your system if you agree to activate the Adobe Connect add-on.
