Elements organiser does not launch from the desktop toolbar

Obviously this is not a major, however it is very frustrating, and slows the workflow.  When I have the editor (I have version 11) open and click on the quick launch icon at the bottom of the desktop,  90% of the time, at least, nothing happens.
Is this a known fault ?  Is there anything I can do to fix ?
Any comments most appreciated !
Warm regards from sunny New Zealand

Hi Jim
Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
N.B. navigate to Program Files on 32 bit systems.
Drag each icon to the taskbar and you should be able to launch either Organizer or Editor with a single click.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Organiser does not start from the welcome screen

    Having installed Photoshop Elements 11(Windows 7)  I cannot open the Organiser from the welcome screen. It can be opened via the Editor but few of the thumbnails are shown as pictures rather as empty squares. The situation does not improve with time but tends to get worse with pictures turning into squares. I have tried the tip with preferences but to no avail. I would be very grateful for some help. Best Regards Ian Tomlinson

    Try pressing Ctrl+A (to select all thumbnails) and then refresh again (Edit >> Update Thumbnails for selected items). If that makes no difference you may need to regenerate the cache.
    It may be worth rebuilding the thumbnail cache before re-installing. Click the menu:
    Help >> System info to find the path to your catalog.
    1. Close Organizer.
    2. Navigate to C: ProgramData/Adobe/Elements Organizer/Catalogs/My Catalog
    3. Find the file - thumb.5.cache
    4. Highlight the file and delete it.
    5. Re-start Elements Organizer
    6. Wait until all thumbnails have been generated.
    N.B. ProgramData may be a hidden system file:

  • Firefox does not open from the desktop icon!

    I upgraded to the new one and tried to run once the install said finish. my addmin account will not open firefox but my guest acct does open it.

    Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
    Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

    Hold down the mouse button while restarting. This should eject any disc in the drive.

  • OTL Error - Hrs - Element link does not exist for the duration of the entry

    Hi,
    We had a few new people start just before xmas however when the person entering their record did it, they didn't date-track the additional assignment time information record to the start of the week (they did however correctly date-track their employee and assignment record) so when the timecard was filled in errors were thrown up.
    Since then I have gone back into the employees assignment time record, purged it and then re-created it effective from the week beginning.
    However when we try to enter time for them now using delegated self service, the following error is shown for the two days which were originally excluded from the date-tracked record:
    Hrs - Element link does not exist for the duration of the entry Cause: The link has been purged or date effectively deleted. Action: Check the effective start and end dates on the link definitions for this element. The original record should have been created from the 19th dec 2009 however was done from the 23rd by accident. I have since been in and replaced it with a record effective from the 19th.
    I have re-run the security list generation (we are using static list).
    The only thing I can find on metalink is 372086.1 which doesn't really describe the problem or help!!
    The people don't appear in the timekeeper form though which is strange. I really can't see any reason why their record isn't valid - no data is missing. Do I need to run a job to update the information or something?
    We are using 11.5.10.2
    Thankss

    Well would you believe it!? After much late night meddling around, I noticed one employee worked! There was absolutely no difference in any settings between his record and a persons who did not work. So I went into another employees record, changed his name and saved (correcting). Tried again and he worked fine! So, just by changing the employee name it seems to have worked for self service! I still cannot see them in timekeeper which is worrying however at least we can get time in for them now!
    If anyone knows why I may not be able to see them in timekeeper (even using an un-secured responsibility) then that would be a great help! :)

  • Elements 13 will not update from the help menu

    Hi, Just installed elements 13, updates does not work from the help menu, adobe application manager opens and the search for updates is continuous, just keeps searching.

    Have you tried it on more than one date? Sometimes the site shuts down temporarily.
    Have you tried from both Premiere Elements and the Elements Organizer -- or even Photoshop Elements? It's all the same updates.
    Are you logged in with your Adobe ID?

  • TS3276 Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !

    Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !

    Try restarting your Mac.
    Open Termimal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)Try entering this command: killall Dock, and then hit enter
    Try dragging the Mail icon out of the dock, then let it disappear in a puff of smoke. Then from Applications/Mail try dragging the Mail icon back into the dock, and see if it works.
    Does Mail open otherwise? Like if you try opening it from your Applications folder?if it doesn't:
    Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
    if that doesn't work: reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.

  • After installing an App, the icon does not appear on the desktop?

    After installing an App, the icon does not appear on the desktop? Where would I find it?

    Some people have found that an app (usually iBooks for some reason) hasn't appeared on a homescreen until after the iPad has been reset and has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Also depending on what the app is have you got an age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • "This disk does not appear on the desktop"

    I have 3 Firewire drives on my iMac. On occasion, instead of the normal orange Firewire disk drive icon, I get a generic icon that looks like a small window with a blue bar at the top. If I run Disk Warrior, it says "This disk does not appear on the desktop". Worse, sometimes the system looses one or more drives completely and has to be restarted. All of the external drives check out good with Disk Warrior. All drives power-down the spindle when inactive for some period of time. Any idea what might be going on?

  • API error: Element link does not exist for the duration of the entry

    I am trying to create an element using the API_PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRY.CREATE_ELEMENT_ENTRY API
    While I am able to create many elements for years this way, for one particular non-recurring element I get the following error
    ORA-20001: Element link does not exist for the duration of the entry
    Cause: The link has been purged or date effectively deleted.
    Action: Check the effective start and end dates on the link definitions for this element.
    I have checked evertything and the Link is defined far before my element entry starts and with no end date. The assignment I want to attach this element entry is perfectly eligible.
    The weirdest is that I am able to create this element entry with the values I want and the dates I want through standard User interface...
    Any idea?

  • My iCloud is set up and seems to work. However, a newly added contact does not sync from the Macbook to the iphone and iPad. What am I doing wrong?

    My iCloud is set up and seems to work. However, a newly added contact does not sync from the Macbook to the iphone and iPad. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, txstan

    Apparantly it is, On My Mac contacts don't appear in iCloud, anywhere.
    Put all your contacts on all of your devices in iCloud (assuming that's where you want them to be)
    Go to www.icloud.com, login and see what you actually have in the account.

    My CS6 Production suite for Windows 8 does not update from the help menu? The appilcation Manager says: "The update server is not respondiing, the server might be offline temporarily..." I have registered correctly. I have turned off my AVG virus protection and tried to update my software, still the Application Manager gives the same response. When I login, I can see that my serial numbers are there, so it must have registered correctly.
    Help!

    If you don't want to download the updates manually, then you need to update your Application Manager.  The relevant links are here:

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch from it's tile in windows 8

    Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch(open) from it's tile in windows 8,if I restart the computer then try it, it launches. but once I close the program and try to launch it agian from the tile it won't launch  (open)
    What going on ?

    You might unpin (Unpin from Start) the photoshop elements 10 shortcut from the start screen and then go to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10 and right click on the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and choose Pin to Start.
    And/or if you want an shortcut on the actual desktop you can use Send to>Desktop (create shortcut)
    Perhaps the shortcut directly to the pse 10 editor will work better when using the start screen.

  • After installing FF 6.02 on Windows 7, the icon does not appear on the desktop and the program does not appear in the All Programs menu

    I just received a new laptop running windows 7 home premium and wanted to install Firefox on it. I tried to install the most recent version. When i installed 6.0.2, the icon did not appear on my desktop (it was a hidden file in my desktop folder) and the program group does not appear in the start menu's All Programs list. The program *does* run though, at least it did a few times. This happened whether i installed as administrator or not. Installing firefox 3.6.22, though, DID create the program group and desktop icon, and upgrading from there removed them again. installing other programs (e.g. vlc, trillian, etc.) did not cause this behavior. I also tried this both with and without McAfee's realtime protection running.

    Some people have found that an app (usually iBooks for some reason) hasn't appeared on a homescreen until after the iPad has been reset and has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why my photobook in elements 10 does not give me the online services sizes options?

    I am using element 10 and my photobook does not give me the online service size options.It only give me the 8.5 x 11 local printing option. Does anyone know what can i do to get other size options?

    Not able to see it for PSE 12 too.I think online service sizes are off from Adobe side as Adobe controls these. Let`s wait for some time and check again.
