Elements organizer 13 import iphoto problem

I've tried 3 times to import my photos into Elements Organizer and it keeps getting stuck and locking up in the same place.  Is it because I'm trying to import too many files?  Movies?  Its very frustrating.  Any suggestions?

UPDATE: Unmounted my external hard drives. Found the Adobe file and deleted it. Apparently most of the photos in iPhoto had copied to my hard drive but did not show up in the Organizer. Deleted that file and my hard drive is back to where it was. If I try this again, I will try to designate one of the externals as the place for the Organizer files. But since the one was about 120 GB, I probably won't try that again.

    I downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements.  I then launched Photoshop Elements Organizer and imported approx. 28,000 photos (including some videos).  A window opened indicating that many of the photos had tags, and asking if I wanted to add the tags.  I said yes, and the process began.  When it reached 60% a window opened indicating that "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working", with the only option being to "Close program."
    I've since tried to open organizer several times, but it goes immediately to "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working".  I was able to open Editor, and tried opening Organizer from Editor, but encountered the same problem.
    FYI, I have an open case (#0214505556), but have not received the help I need.

    This issue is with respect to Elements 13.

  • Elements Organizer Help | Import photos from your camera or card reader

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/import-camera-or-card-reader.htm l

    Did you try the "create subfolder" option in the Adobe Photo Downloader? If you choose the option to create subfolders using "shot date[mm yy]" I think it would solve the problem you are discribing. And in the case when nothing works, you can always choose the advanced button and manually select the photos you want to import

  • Elements Organizer Sync Agent file problem

    I have started having a problem with the ElementsOrganizerSyncAgent.exe file. This file seems to cause some Microsoft Office applications to hang up. When I look at the error file it says that it is waiting for the ...SyncAgent.exe file.  If I disable this file my problem goes away.  I have reinstalled PSE v.8
    and that does not seem to cure the problem.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    The simple and quick fix is right-clicking on that little Safe icon in the system tray (near the system clock) and choose Stop Backup/Synchronization.
    Turn it on and off as needed.
    If you are using face recognition and smart filtering you can also switch off Auto-Analyzer for improved performance.

  • Question around elements organizer and importing

    I have PSE 8 and until recently, everytime I would import the photos from my card reader, I would get a filtered view with only the photos that I have imported. From there I could add the tags.
    For some reason now, I no longer get that view after a import and I have no idea how to enable it again. I found the batch view mode, and that helps, but I would prefer to do it the old way where I got the view by default.
    Any ideas on how to get this back?
    Thanks

    I think you might have accidentally checked the box that said don't take that action any more.
    In Edit > Preferences > General, click Reset All Warning Dialogs and Restore Default Settings. 

  • Window 8.1 is not allowing Elements Organizer 11 to import pictures from SD card into Organizer

    After installing Windows 8.1, I am no longer able to import pictures from SD card into Organizer as Elements simply stops working after Import from Card reader is selected. Obviously I am shutdown from importing pictures.

    Windows 8.1 is not allowing Elements Organizer 11 to import pictures from SD Card in card reader into Elements Organizer. The Elements Program goes to a blue circle and the program times out.
    I have:
    Tried different SD cards
    Tried different card readers,
    I can import off files or folders. However card reader does not show up on this menu within Elements.
    There is obviously some workaround that could be contemplated BUT Elements Organizer cannot import from SD card in card reader and this is a very inconvenient situation.  It worked fine in Windows 8.0.
    I would appreciate a reply. Thank you.

  • How can I import photos from iPhoto '09 to Elements Organizer 10 while keeping the tags attached?

    I have spent a ridiculously long time tagging photos in my iPhotos but I would now like to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer and preserve all the work I had done.
    From Adobe's help website (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WS73c05ee9864270ea-417df45c129593bfa05 -8000.html) it says I can import the tags along with the photos but does not explain how:
    "Elements Organizer 10 supports importing photos, along with their associated captions, tags, and ratings, from iPhoto. You also have the option to import information such as events and albums to maintain the organization of your library"
    When I follow the steps outlined on the website my photos are imported but there are no tags attached to them. I am particularly interested in keeping my facial tags but I suppose it would be useful to know how to keep other keyword tags and ratings as well.
    There was a previous question put out on the forums similar to this but it was unresolved and the person decided to just leave everything in iPhoto. I really would prefer to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer. I don't like the way iPhoto organizes photos but I had to deal with it for several years before I bought Elements Photoshop with built-in Organizer.
    Please Please help!
    Many thanks

    You don't import one library to another.  Just copy the library from the iBook to the Pictures folder on shout new MacBook Pro. If you have another library already on the MBP rename it so you don't overwrite it with the old library.
    Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the newly copied library and let iPhoto convert it to the new version.
    Do you have photos in the library on the new MacBook Pro that you want to combine with the older library?

  • Elements Organizer 11.0 has no option to import my iPhoto library.

    I have a MacBook 4,1, Mac OS 10.6.8, Photoshop Elements 11.0 and iPhoto 8.1 (iLife '09). Photoshop Elements Organizer 11.0 has no option anywhere to import my iPhoto library as described in the manual for Organizer 11. I've repaired my permissions, tried restarting multiple times and uninstalling and re-installing Photoshop Elements 11 and Organizer 11 with no luck. What am I doing wrong? Help!!!

    If you have the latest version of both (iPhoto version 9.3 and Aperature 3.3) then you have no need to import the iPhoto library into Aperature as both iPhoto and Aperature can share the same library (so you do not duplicate your storage)  --  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260

  • Elements Organizer hangs on importing iPhoto library

    Hi all!
    I am trying to import my complete iPhoto library into the Elements Organizer. I chose file→import from iPhoto and it does start some copying process. Then it starts another copying process but stalls after about 10% is done. What also surprises me is that the command import from iPhoto doesn't show any dialogue with options to choose, like "convert albums into somethings". It just start a process. Is it possible that Elements Organizer doesn't support blank spaces as characters in file names? I think it stops when showing some image file I have that has a space character in the file name like "Cologne II.jpg"
    The Elements Organizer hangs so badly I have to force-quit out of it.
    I am using Elements Organizer 12.1 x64 on Mac OS 10.9.4 and iPhoto 9.5.1 (sharing a library with Aperture 3.5.1).

    And this is what it looks like. I have taken screen shots:
    First it does this until finished (100%):
    (It's German and it says, "3238 of 5748 files are being copied").
    Then comes a new window showing this:
    (This one says, "38 of 5748 element(s) imported")
    and then this just stops at 10% looking like this until I force-quit the Organizer:

  • Running elements organizer 12 on mavericks can't import iphoto files since the option doesn't show up

    Running Mavericks 10.9.3 with iphoto 9 loaded Elements 12 and went to import iphoto files - but the import option doesn't some "from iphoto" and the file/getphotos and videos/from iphoto doesn't show - what is the issue

    I'm not sure exactly what you're saying, but you probably don't want to use "from iphoto" anyway. That's only for when you want to import your entire iphoto library (like when you decide you want to use organizer instead).
    The first question is what  are you trying to do? Do you just want to open photos from iphoto into the PSE editor or do you want to import them into the organizer for something?

  • Can't import från iPhoto to Elements Organizer

    I want to import my large iPhoto (v9.5.1) archive into my Adobe Elements Organizer (v12.1). I need to get the tags for thousands of photos intact with the transfer.
    There is an automatic function for this in Organizer, but when I use it, only a few photos from iCloud actually get imported. It may have something to do with my having set up iPhoto to leave my photos in their original folders and not import the photos themselves into the database.
    Is there any way to work around this, to get my photos into Organizer with all their meta-information intact?

    Hi Tonyswiss
    This is common with all new camera models; not just Canon. Manufacturers continually improve their processors and the way they perform with the sensor in handling and creating images. It takes time for Adobe to catch up so the update of ACR will always lag.
    Dual DIGIC 4 processors are used in the EOS 7D and EOS 1D Mk IV. ACR support is provided in version 5.6

  • Problem importing pictures from camera with Elements Organizer

    I am using Elements Organizer from Photoshop Elements 9 (Mac OS 10.6.8).  Recently, the files imported from my camera are being stored on my hard drive with the permissions set so that only the owner of the files can read them.  Previously, anyone could read them.  I must have accidentally changed something in Elements Organizer.
    How do I set things back to how they were so that everyone can read the files imported from the camera?  Is there a way to reset the default settings for Elements Organizer?
    I can get around this by setting the permissions for the folder of pictures from the Terminal window, but this requires that I remember to do so after each import.

    You can use the app PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer the pictures to your computer while maintaining your folder structure.

  • Moving images from iPhoto 11 to Photoshop Elements Organizer

    I understand that iPhoto 11 kept all images within the iPhoto Library.  In order to move them into the Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer, they must be moved to the hard drive of the Mac and then imported into Elements 12 Organizer.
    Is there any way to do this in one step?
    Mary Lou

    If you want to keep the photos organized by the Events they are currently in use this export setup:
    If you want to keep the keywords, titles and descriptions added in iPhoto change Kind to JPEG and set JPEG Quality to Maximum and check both checkboxes.

  • Photoshop Elements 7: Video import problem

    Hi!
    I'm trying to import photos and videos from the folder to the organizer. I have no problems with the photos and certain videos(mp4 for example) but when trying to import avi's PE freezes completely. Videos are from my Canon powershot G9 and they work normally for example in Windows media player and in Media player classic. Could it be a codec issue or what?
    Can anyone help me on this one? I didn't find any solutions elsewhere.. Thank You!

    And it seems that these videos can be imported without problem to the premiere elements.. I  would just wanted them to show up also in the organizer.

  • Import Photoshop Elements 9 Albums into iPhoto '11 Albums

    Hi,
    I have about 10,000 pictures organized into albums on Photoshop Elements on my PC, and I'd like to move them all into iPhoto on my iMac, and retain all the album organization.
    I've tried this process several times, and I am able to transfer the photos, but I loose all of the album organization in the process. I followed the steps for Photoshop to iPhoto conversion at the bottom of this post (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080702225914AAmKVhU), but what I get in iPhoto is just an organization by the folder on the hard drive, no albums.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Terence, but my Photoshop Elements Albums are organized by a combination of date and topic (e.g. "2006: Christmas") so using the Photoshop Elements Organizer I can't easily find the underlying folders that the photos in an album are from, to be able to drag them anywhere.
    Also, I tried just dragging an Album directly from the PSE Organizer into iPhoto, but it doesn't work -- it won't allow me to drop it there and it doesn't create an iPhoto album.
    I think what I'm going to try next is creating keywords in PSE that match my Album names then exporting those keywords into the JPEG files. I believe iPhoto can read those tags on import of the files and I can re-create the albums manually. Still this is alot of work, and might be easier to just purchase the Mac version of PSE 9.
    Lastly, I just remembered that PSE Organizer saves information about edited photos for me -- i.e. when I edited a file I only see the latest rev in the Organizer and the original files are hidden from view (they call it a "stack"). I doubt that iPhoto is going to recognize this, so I think I'm going to end up with duplicates of any photos that I edited.
    Any ideas on how to avoid this without having to manually find all the edited files and archive them somehow?
