Elements Organizer starts every time

Almost every time I start Photoshop Elements 9 the "Elements Organizer" starts and can take 20 to 30 minutes to search for new files among my 15,000 plus pictures. I had to reinstall Elements 9 because the first time it didn't find all my pictures, only about half. I am loosing so much time waiting for the "Organizer" to do its thing that, though I have used earlier versions beginning with version 2, I wonder if I need to look elsewhere. I would hate to loose my dozens of tags but the time I am wasting now I could use doing tags on another product. I hope I can get help so I don't need to do that. How can I stop this from happening?

In Organizer, use File...Watch Folders and de-select the option to watch your folders.

Photoshop elements organizer crashed every time I try to open.

The first time when I tried to open photo shop elements photo organizer it shut right down. Tried 3x more times and the same thing. I thought maybe my initial install was corrupted. So I uninstalled and did a re-install. Tried to open again and encountered the same thing. I checked vis google and found out other people are having the same issue. I'm running win7 pro 64 bit. What is the solution to this problem?

I wish I knew the answer as I'm having similar problems but with the Photoshop part which will not open. I get the moving bar and then nothing but in my case the Organiser opens. I also run Win 7 64bit and have deleted and downloaded the software at least 5 times with no success. It looks like a very expensive mistake and I wish I had never seen the software.

Elements Organizer crashes EVERY time on Macbook pro i7 with 8g ram.

THis is my Third requst for help- the program doesn't work on my machine, but I meet the specs.. Program doesn't open.. get the splash creen then it crashes. Running a macbook pro, i7 Mavericks, blah blah blah

You replied in a post referencing 10.6.8 that you had 'the same problem'. Did you upgrade to Maverick AFTER installing PSE? If so you must delete all the PSE preferences, They will get recreated when you restart the program. Details here - http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mavericks/.

Elements 11 crashes every time i use sketch filters

I am on a new macbook pro using elements 11 and every time i use the sketch filters the program crashes. How do i get this fixed?

Which OS are you on?
Please try running Organizer with Admin rights, directly from PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe if on Windows.
Another thing that you can try if on Windows - is - run your system in Compatibility Mode. To do this you need to-
- Close Organizer if open.
- Locate 'PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe'. By default it is present at '%programfiles(x86)%\Adobe\Elements 8 Organizer\'
- Select the file and right click and select 'Properties'
- Switch to 'Compatibility' tab
- Select check box 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:'
- Select 'Windows XP SP2. Click 'OK'
- Launch Organizer and try email workflow once again
Thanks

And you are quite persistent, Menu Boy, in offering pernickety and pointless prattle, in response to a "support page" on iPad's buggy Pages App.
Let's summarise, for those reviewing this threadless thread for app support..
Mobile pages works reliably for simple docs, especially creating letters and Menus for Microsoft's Kindy canteen (even on special days with nice big pictures).
When importing more complex docs and/or working with larger creations, it is prone to randomly corrupting files upon re-opening, along similar lines as Word (running on a PC).
So, Menu Boy, do they let you sneak into classes every now and then? What is the secret to their training? "Say after me, if any I.T. product works just some of the time, that's a job well done, and if something randomly stops working, we call that the user's fault... And if they complain, we call them names."

LR starts every time USB drive inserted

Every time I insert a USB key, LR starts.
In Preferences, File Management, I have selected 'Do Nothing' for 'When a memory card is detected. If I let LR start, it does not try to import any images but it is annoying how it insists on starting every time.
Any ideas? A bug?
I use XP Pro, and I can replicate the problem on both a laptop and desktop.

"You can remove it from the Registry auto run with some utility like msconfig or Autoruns, but it gets added again the next time you start Lightroom....
For definitive removal, you need to go to Lightroom, Edit / Preferences / File Management and in 'When a memory card is detected:' drop down list select 'Do nothing' and Adobe Photo Downloader(apdproxy) will be gone for good."
Been there. Done that. Didn't work. I finally (with the box unchecked), I nuked it out of the registry by putting several bogus characters in the command line for that item. Very naughty of Adobe, making me go into registry for this.

Lightroom starts every time i put in a memory card.

Lightroom starts every time i put in a memory card or a USB stick with photos. Is it possible to turn off this feature? I want to determine if the program should start.

Go to:
Edit >> Preferences>> General (tab)
Lightroom >> Preferences>> General (tab) on Mac OSX
Uncheck the box: Show import dialog when memory card detected.

How do I stop LR5 import dialogue from starting every time I insert an external drive. I have already unchecked this from Preferences to no avail.

Hi Jim:
You are a Legend! I have Windows 8.1, but I had the same option in Control Panel and sure enough it was in auto play, which I have now changed and it is no longer occurring. Thank you!!

Why does the organizer update every time the program opens?

Why does the organizer open every time the program opens?

It normally updates if there are new images or edits which are picked up from the watch folder. The default watch folder is My Pictures+sub-folders.

Premiere Elements 9 Organizer crashes every time

I installed the Trial version on my computer and later added serial number info to get the full program. The editing interface seems to work fine (though I have not had too much time to play with it yet) but the Organizer has not once opened correctly. If I choose it from the opening dialog box everything just closes (no error) and if I choose it from within the editing part it still closes (with or without an error). When I do get an error it says:
AppName: photoshopelementsorganizer.exe AppVer: 9.0.0.0 ModName: quartz.dll
ModVer: 6.5.2600.5933 Offset: 0002efd9
Not too helpful. It begins to open, enough that I can see what it should look like, even with a few video thumbnails etc., but then crashes. Every time.
PC specs:
HP Compaq dc5800 Microtower
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU
E8400 @ 3.00GHz
2.99 GHz, 2.99 GB of RAM
I have CS3 and CS5 design premium installed on my machine as well.
I'm rather frustrated, as I had to go to bat with bosses/IT to get even this program (instead of god-awful Pinnacle) for small video-editing projects but as of yet it's been a pain. The installation alone took maybe six tries and two separate Adobe personnel chat sessions.
Thanks for any help.

Work through these basics first:
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.8 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Shut down, from task manager, as many startup processes as you can. The existence of CS3 & CS5 almost certainly means there are Adobe backgound processes starting automatically.
Free up as much disk space as you can - try for a minimum of 30GB free, 60GB preferably.
Run Disk Cleanup. If you know that the last system restore point is good use advanced settings and remove all but most recent restore point.
Run Defragmenter.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.

Elements 12 Organizer crashes every time I try to use the Photo Mail function. Has anyone else come across this bug?

I highlight the photos I want to share, go to Photo Mail, select the addressees and press "Next". I then get the error message: "Elements Organizer has stopped working" and I have to close the program down.
This is obviously a bug in the program and needs fixing. Has anyone else encountered it and found a solution. (I might add that the same crash happens if I try to use the "Email attachments" function.)

Hi,
Are you running on a Windows system?
If so, use the windows explorer to navigate to one of the following files according to your system.
64bit system: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
32bit system: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Right click on that file and select Run as Administrator then try your email again.
You should only have to do this once.
Good luck
Brian

Bought Premier Elements 13 yesterday. EVERY time I try to open a set of clips with Editor, I am told I have to sign into my Adobe first. I do this and wait for several minutes for the password dialogue box to open, enter my password. then wait and wait until my pw is recognized. Accept agreement. Agreement screen disappears and I'm back where I started. Try to open video clips with editor again and get the same demand to log in. Please advise asap. thx

Please do not duplicate a thread. The threads are answered as soon as possible. We are not Adobe. Just user to user.
I have answered your most recent of the duplicates
Premier Elements 13 Organizer Works. Editor doesn't. Log in doesn't work
It is uncertain just how far we can go to help you since you do not appear to have Premiere Elements any
longer.Seems you demanded a refund from Adobe Chat, got it, and now are left with a non purchased program which I
am not sure can be used.
Duplicates tend to confuse the person asking the question as well as those attempting to reply. As I suggested in the
above mentioned thread, try to sort out your situation with Adobe via its Adobe Chat.

Photoshop Elements 12 crashes every time I run the editor

Every time I run the editor, the program crashes. The organizer works fine. I have a i7, Win 8.1 16GB RAM and 2GB video memory. Lightroom 5.3 works fine. I have the same problem with the editor of Premiere Elements 12.
Any suggestions?

Has it ever worked right? If so, I would start the editor while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
If it has never worked, I would uninstall and reinstall, but be sure to disable your antivirus and anything from symantec/norton during the installation.

Photoshop elements 13 FREEZING every time with Mac OS X Yosemite

Just purchased Photoshop elements 13, upgrading from version 10. 10 was running slow in editor so I thought the latest version would be faster but not only is it slower & stickier but I can not open the organizer. It freezes every time & I can not see my catalog pics. A few pics load & the rest are question marks or sand timer.....Then it freezes completely & I can not do anything until I force quit. I've tried most of the trouble shooting listed but NOTHING is working!! Please HELP!!!! So frustrating!!!!
