Elements 8 won't automatically download files

Although I've checked the "automatic download" box on the advanced dialog for downloading files, Elements 8 will not automatically download files when I connect my camera to my computer. Instead, I have to manually go into the organizer and click File->Get Photos from Camera or Card, which pulls up the downloader. Then I still have to select the device to download from - even though it's connected and the organizer recognizes it, I have to do everything manually.
Any suggestions on how to remedy this?

Hi,
Launch Photoshop Elements Organizer and click Edit>>Preferences>>Camera or Card Reader.
Here, select generic device under download options and click EDIT.
now select automatic download from the drop-down menu, click ok and restart organizer.
This should work!

  • PSE 8 won't automatically download files from my camera when connected

    Hi,
    I just installed PSE 8.0 -- I had previously been using PSE 6.0, so I installed PSE 8.0 then uninstalled PSE 6.0.  Now, when I connect my camera, the PSE photo downloader does not launch automatically.  I set the device start options in the control panel to open the PSE 8.0 organizer as documented in the PSE online help, but when I plug in my camera and turn it on, nothing happens.
    I'm running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium.  This function, the photo downloader, worked fine on PSE 6.0, which is the only thing that I've changed.
    I suspect something got "uninstalled" unintentionally when I uninstalled PSE 6.0, but I could be wrong.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The easy solution is to download via File -> Get Photos & Videos -> from camera or card reader
    Thanks/ Tarun

  • Why does Safari automatically download files?  I want option to download.

    Why does Safari automatically download files? I want option to download or not. I didn't think it used to automatically download. But now every time I click on a file that has been sent to me it does give me an option to view or not..it just automatically downloads it. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Why does Safari automatically download files?
    That's what Apple decided it should do. It's not my preferred option either to be honest.
    I didn't think it used to automatically download.
    Safari has always done this. Maybe in the past you had a third-party application installed that did this for Safari.
    Any suggestions?
    Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple... or http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    For more immediate action, have a search around www.macupdate.com or www.versiontracker.com to see if such an 'extension' exists to force Safari to prompt on download. (Bear in mind these kind of things can be sensitive to the version of Safari they're used with, so if Safari starts crashing down the line they would be the primary suspects to remove)

  • Ipad won't automatically download iphone apps

    I have an iphone and an ipad.  Both sync with the same computer (an Imac).  I usually use my iphone to download apps while the ipad is powered off.  I want tthe iphone apps to automatically download to the ipad when the ipad is connected to my home wifi network (Apple Extreme)
    I have many iphone apps in itunes (on the computer) that will not sync or download automatically using the wifi. 
    The apps are stored on the icloud, but they won't download automatically to the ipad either.
    I see the apps in the "Purchased" section of the Itune Store app.  They are "Iphone apps not on my ipad".  I have to select them one by one which is a pain. 
    The ipad will not sync the same apps to the ipad when it is synced to my home computer.
    Is there a way to download or sync all those iphone apps automatically?
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    You can turn on automatic downloads 'on' on the iPad in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6).  And/or when connected to your computer with the iPad selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side on the Apps tab under the list of apps there should be a tickbox for automatically syncing new apps - if that is ticked then each time you connect the iPad to your computer it should install any new apps that are on your computer.

  • Elements 2 won't save a file as JPEG

    Hi:
    os is win xp sp2 home ed. using elements 2 for a very long time but suddenly, it will not save an image as JPEG. the file saves as a JPEG (but no thumbnail image) and can not be opened by any program - including elements 2! Elements 2 will save a file as TIF, PNG & BMP but no longer as JPEG! must be some simple thing I've done to interfere with the 'save as' process. would appreciate and tips you can offer on this.
    thanks,
    jim

    You could try re-setting preferences -- as you start Elements press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (hope I'm remembering that right) and follow through the dialog box.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 won't open photo files

    Elements suddenly stopped allowing me to open photo files.  I click to open a file, and nothing happens.  Help please!

      Try opening in camera raw from the Editor menu:
    File >> Open As
    Navigate to your image file and choose camera raw from the file format dropdown list.
    If the file opens in the camera raw dialog click the open image button (bottom right) and that will send it into the regular Editor interface where you may be able to re-save another copy.
     

  • Elements 13 won't save .jpeg files

    I have NIK collection installed and used it to create 2 layers. Now the save as..,. won't save as anything but .psd files. Is there a fix or workaround for this.

    Actually, I have just done a test.
    With a 16bit/channel image I can't create layers but I can save it as a JPG. I think that PSE 13 automtically converts it to 8bit/channel. Also, if the 8bit/channel image has layers then the PSE 13 will flatten it when saving as a JPG.
    So, I haven't any idea why JPG can't be selected from the Save As dropdown list. It is defaulted to PSD but I can always change it.

  • Photo shop elements stopped working after automatic download, please help?

    Bar appeared as I was working on a photo. Downloaded something on my elements program. now it does not work?

    Hi,
    I can't think what would require a download. Occasionally some of the special effects need to be downloaded when you use them for the first time but you appear to not be trying anything new - "you've done it hundreds of times".
    Probably the first thing to try is to reset the preferences.
    Hold down the Ctrl, Alt and Shift key as you launch the editor and hold them down until you get the message about resetting the preferences - which you do.
    If you have changed any of the preferences, like allow floating documents, you will have to set them again.
    I don't think the backup should have caused this problem.
    Have you used it successfully since the backup and before the failure - or was this the first edit of the day?

  • Can I stop my Mac automatically downloading files.

    Can I make another program, in this case iGetter my default download program instead of my Mac automatically doing the downloads. They just don't work most of the time, and if they stop, then to resume they start from zero. This problem was fixed on the darkside years ago. Surely Apple must allow other defaults when their's is so bad? When I manage to use iGetter I have no problems.

    Love that forthright attitude! (Seems rampant around here. 'Tis good.)
    I do have a NetComm NB6 running  802.11n at 300Mbps (guess I do have a cable), but judging by the pictures on the box I need ADSL2+ for that. Well I only a have wireless broadband service, so plugging it into the phone socket will do Sweet Fanny Adams, as my Dear Ol' Dad woulda said. I use the pathetic interface supplied by my service provider to access my broadband service.
    Now if I plug the non-pathetic router into the Mac ethernet port, from one of the four ports provided using the non-existent cable, everything is hunky dory. The Mac sees it and I have another wi-fi network, and it may be possible to get it to receive my broadband signal (seeing it is wireless), but mate, that is way beyond this Antepodean Wally's expertise. There are no pictures for that!
    If this router will do the job I have not the foggiest idea how to do it.
    ps. I hate this smiley face stuff (couldn't find one that says tongue-in cheek), but I have been mistaken for a rude wanker before today, and thought, seeing we know each other not, I would put them in this one time out of respect for your efforts to help this dumb PC reject.

  • My apps won't automatically download on my phone, they will only download onto the computer. what do i do to fix this?

    I try to download an app from the app store onto my phone but the icon just says "waiting...". the apps will only download to my laptop through iCloud. how do i change this?

    Hi there marilyn248!
    I've got some articles that should be able to help you with the issue you are experiencing. The article is about finding your past purchases through you iTunes account, and can be found here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    You will want to pay close attention to which iTunes account you are signed into on both your computer and your iPhone, and make sure you are signed into the same one that was used to make the purchases. You will then be able to download the purchases directly to your phone without syncing to your computer. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Photoshop Elements 9 won't open blank files or copy from clipboard

    PE9 for Macwon't open blank files or "copy from clipboard."  I get error messages that say, "Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe color engine," when I try to create a new blank file, and "Could not place because of a program error" when trying to "copy from clipboard."  I tried reinstalling the software, but that didn't help.

    Are you still facing the same problem ?
    can you try it after resetting your preferences.
    To reset your preferences at the time of launching PSE press command+option+shift key combination untill following pop up comes.

  • Messages started automatically downloading files

    How do I get that to stop? I would like to be asked to accept the file.
    I've looked everywhere.
    thanks!

    Hi,
    In Messages Menu > Preferences > General Section there is an AppleScript option at the bottom.
    In earlier Messages and iChat apps there was a separate Alerts pane that meant you could link a specific Sound to a specific Action within a Buddy list.
    This mean that a script (Auto Accept) was written by Apple that could be used for Text Invites, Audi Only and Video invite and File Sharing was included.
    The script is still written for this but can be applied in that General Section (it seems it is aimed at the "Message Received" setting for sound higher up that pane)>
    Check whether the Auto Accept is  On  and turn it Off (set to None) if it is.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Won't Open a File

    I cannot get a photo to open in PSE 11 on my Mac to save my life. I have tried reinstalling the software. This is really irritating. Adobe, or someone, suggestions please?

    Adobe isn't here. Which version of OS X? If mavericks, did you install it after installing PSE (a reinstall after upgrading OS X doesn't count)?
