External Editor Not Working

I'm running Lightroom 4 on a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and using Elements 10 as my external editor. When I right click and select EDIT IN and choose Elements, nothing happens. When setting up Elements as my editor for LR, I'm sure I chose the right folder for Elements. I also tried deleting and restoring the defaults and then setting up Elements again. No dice.
Here's what I'm seeing -
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Problem solved. Downloaded and installed LR RC 4.2

"open in external editor" not working

I use "open in external editor" a lot to edit pictures in Photoshop, but it has stopped working. Now it launches Photoshop, but doesn't open/load the relevant image.
What has changed since I had this working?
I had a couple of kernel panics, and used "archive and install" to re-install Tiger, and then 10.4.3.
I am using iphoto 5.0.4 and Photoshop CS 8.
Any remedies/help gratefully received.

Hi Nige,
It is a Photoshop problem and probably because it is missing files.
this is an old copy/paste from MacFixit it.
Try this suggestion I copied and pasted from MacFixIt first
"Photoshop CS: Fix for file opening problem Yesterday we reported that since installing Mac OS X 10.4, Photoshop CS refuses to open any new files or create any new documents, reporting a "program error" when one tries to do so. Our previously reported workaround involved re-installing Photoshop CS, but MacFixIt reader Bryan Schappel now offers a faster solution:
"This happens because the Archive and Install option does not copy over a necessary folder for Photoshop. The critical folder is called 'ScriptingAdditions' and is stored in the main Library folder. This folder contains one file 'Adobe Unit Types' that makes Photoshop open files that have been double-clicked or dragged to the PS icon in the Dock.
"Simply move this folder (and file) from the 'Previous System' backup to the Library folder, relaunch Photoshop and all is well again. No need to completely re-install.""
I copied an pasted instead of putting the link in because it is not on the front page and you would have to search around to find it. Hope it is ok to do that here. If you don't still have the folder then you have to reinstall PhotoShop.

Scroll bar on editor not working

I recently upgraded to phtoshop elments 11.0 to 13.0
In the editor mode I cannot use the scroll bar. The scroll bar works fine in the orgnizaer mode. I have tried three different mouses and there is no difference.
Tom Fitch, San Antonio Texas

I am using Windows 7 Professional
In the organizer portion the scroll bar moves. When I put my mouse or
arrow on the scroll bar and drag it then of course I move through the different
rows of folders or rows of pictures once in the photo bin.
It was doing it with Photoshop Elements 11.0 and I thought 13.0 might fix
the problem and the scroll bar did move on the first try but not since then.
When I try and load the photo bin and I am choosing the right folder to
load the scroll bar just does not move. I can select the right folder by
using my up and down arrow or the page up and down and then click on the right
folder and then it loads.
Once I get the right folder of pictures loaded and once I finish the first
row of pictures I cannot use my mouse and arrow to drag the scroll bar
down to get to the next row of pictures. I can place my arrow on my mouse
below the scroll bar and got to the next row but I usually get only half the
picture and sometimes only 1/4 of it but I can usually get it loaded up and
edit the pictures and move on the next picture but it is very slow and
frustrating.
Any help would be appreciated.
I protested to an adobe supervisor and I got an e-mail and somebody is
supposed to call me tomorrow so hopefully then can log on to my computer and
see what I am talking about.
Sound like something got corruped in the editor mode only. I tried 3
different mouses and even the computer mouse and no difference.

Graphical editor not working

Hi,
SAP Graphical editor not working. I am getting the following error.
EU_SCRP_WN32 : timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'
Last week its sucessfully working but suddenly happen this issue... This problem in development server only. In production server is sucessfully working.
Please advise...
Regards
Rajesh.

Hi Rajesh,
It looks to be RFC connection issue.
Refer to various solutions described in below SAP note
101971 - 37527 Graphical full screen is not available (RFC)
Alternative
Workaround
You can prevent the termination of the RFC connection by increasing the value of the timeout parameter for the relevant RFC destination. Call transaction SM59, choose the TCP/IP connection "EU_SCRP_WN32" and branch to the "Special Options" tab page. In the section "Keep-Alive-Timeout" select the option "Specify Timeout" and enter a longer wait time (for example, 300 seconds). Undo this change once you use the corrected program version.
Hope this helps.

Deepak Kori

PSE12 editor stopped working - sas elements 12 editor not working - how can i get editor to work - which has been working fine for a year nowÉ

Thanks for the quick response ...
I had already tried deleting the review slide itself, though Captivate wouldn't let me - it just hid it. I tried again using the method you recommended but the slide remained in the filmstrip, so I tried deleting again, then re-added it from the Quiz Settings page ... no joy, same behavior as before.
I checked the Advanced Interaction page and confirmed that all of the scored questions were configuredthe same way as the non-scored questions, with the only difference being the pool that they were drawing from.
Other thoughts? I am by no means a Captivate expert but this one really feels like it shouldn't be this hard, and I'm more than a little afraid that it's the file itself that's jacked up ...

I am in Elements 12 - and I cannot open the Editor - it says elements editor not working - any suggestionjs?

Has anyone experienced Editor not working - and got an answer from Adobe?

After LR 5.3 update external editors stop working. PS , NIK collection

I updated lightroom from 5.2 to 5.3 and my external editors NIK and Photoshop CC stop working. I click on them, but nothing happens the applications do not open. In the case of Photoshop I make sure that I had everything updated including camera raw to match lightroom's 8.3

OMG!!! Thank you so very much!!! I went ahead and checked in preferences and the store preset was unchecked, so I checked it "on" to see what would happen. It took NIK off the edit tab, but it still showed photoshop, so I clicked on Photoshop and it worked!! The file was exported to Photoshop, so I went back again and unchecked the box and the NIK collection came back to the edit tab and it started working!!! So thank you so very much!!!

How do I configure the custom external editor to work with Premiere Elements 13

Situation
I own Lightroom 5.6 and I'm experienced. I've just bought Premiere Elements 13 and I'm a video-editing virgin (be gentle with me). I've spent a day experimenting, reading, watching videos, I've tried asking my question in Premiere Elements forum, and I'm still stuck (i.e. I've tried reasonably hard to solve my own problem).
Problem
I've tried to set up the custom external editor in Lightroom 5 to send photos to Premiere Elements, so that I can incorporate images into movies. Having set it up, when I use it by selecting Photo/Edit In/Premiere Elements 13/, there is an exciting lull as a copy of the image is created and appears in LR, then Premiere Elements launches, then what??? There is no clue as to what has happened to the image regarding its import into Premiere Elements 13. It doesn't appear on the screen, it doesn't appear in the Organizer, it's no-where to be seen, other than in LR!
Resolution sought
Can anyone tell me:
1. Is it possible to use Premiere Elements as an external editor in LR5 ?
2. What are the precise settings for each field (I've played with the various field options but obviously haven't yet found the right combination)?
3. If I configure it correctly, what does good look like: what should I expect to see happen in Premiere Elements when I squirt photos over from LR5 via the 'Edit In' option in LR5?
I don't know if this is relevant: MacBook Pro 16GB 2.8Ghz i7, 750GB SSD (i.e. plenty of space, plenty of horsepower), OS X 10.9.5
I'm hoping the answer isn't 'sorry, it can't be done' because if it is possible, it would be a real contribution to my video editing workflow.
Thanks
Phil

You don't have to buy an Apple keyboard, but you probably need at least to buy a keyboard that connects via proper USB instead of through some Windoze-world adapter, which probably requires a driver that's not available for the Mac OS.
The Apple Bluetooth KB and Magic Trackpad make a fabulous combination for use with any MacBook Pro that spends a lot of time in clamshell mode, because the trackpad works exactly like the built-in trackpad. So there's no transition adjustment to make when you pack up your MBP and go portable with it.

Can't get external editor to work

Using LTR 3.6 on iMac, external editor PSE 10. I choose option to open in the external editor after applying any LTR changes. File is created in LTR, external editor is opened, but image file is not opened. It used to work fine. I had a hard disk failure recently, installed new drive, restored everything from Time Machine back up. All apps seem to work fine. I also reset the external editor in preferences (from PSE 8 to 10) to no effect. Any ideas?

Hi,
I currently have the same problem, but have found a temporary solution while looking for a permanent one. The temporary solution involves resetting the SMC. To do this follow these steps:
-First connect the cable to both your TV and your MacBook Pro and make sure both are powered on.
-Then shut down your MacBook Pro
-On the left side of your keyboard press command, alt (option), shift and the power button at the same time, holding them for a second and then releasing them at the same time.
-Wait about 10 seconds and then power on your MacBook Pro, the display should be detected and working.
As I said earlier this is only a temporary solution and I am looking for a permanent one, so any more help would be appreciated.
Let me know if it works or not.

Cannot get Aperture External Editor to work with CS2

Hi,
I've been trying to get Aperture to work with CS2 as the External Editor. After setting the Aperture prefs and trying it out, CS2 opens, but goes into an eternal wait state without the picture ever showing up. After this happens, CS2 no longer works correctly by itself, even after a restart. It again goes into an eternal wait state. Reloading CS2 from scratch makes it work OK. I tried again, but alas trying to get CS2 hooked up to Aperture again repeated the problem and I had to reload CS2 yet again to get it working. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong or how to get this feature working.

Hi!
I would suggest the following:
Insert your Snow Leopard disk, when you are in Windows 7. Install the Bootcamp 3.0 drivers.
Then restart your computer into Windows 7 and apply the Bootcamp 3.1 update.
Then, you can try again running Starcraft 2 beta. However, you can not be sure that this beta version
will be running.
With regards,

File opened in external editor not stored with referenced files

If I open a referenced raw file in an external editor (CS2) and work on the image adding layers etc., the image is not stored where I have all the other referenced files. It gets stored in the Aperture Library. Is there a way around this. I want to keep all my files together. This can be done in Lightroom, but I am trying to make Aperture work for my workflow.
Thanks,

mac book, G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Well, here's the feedback I submitted to Apple:
With the introduction of Aperture 1.5, you offered users the ability to manage their own libraries, and for Aperture to work with 'referenced' images. In fact, because of this very reason, many of us consumers decided to buy Aperture 1.5.
Most of us photographers also use Adobe Photoshop routinely.
But there is a huge problem/bug for us users who manage our own library (force Aperture to work with 'referenced' images) AND use Photoshop (or any external editor for that matter). When we open a file in an external editor via Aperture, Aperture creates a new 'master' for editing -- but does so in its own 'managed' library! When we save from Photoshop, the image remains in the 'managed' library! So now we have one 'master' in our own directory, and the externally-edited 'master' in Aperture's 'managed' library! This is very CONFUSING and renders external editing via Aperture USELESS... no one in their right mind would want one version of their image in an organized directory, and an edited version in Aperture's managed library (where it is difficult to find manually)! No, it makes much more sense to create the edited 'master' in the same location as the original 'master'!
PLEASE fix this bug ASAP! Aperture already has a good method for automatically renaming files by adding (1) or (2) or (3) or so forth when it is relocating files and finds a file with the same file-name. The same logic can be applied when creating a new 'master' for external-editing: that is, it should just create another .tiff (or .psd, or what have you) file with the same name but with a (1) or (2) tagged on. For example, if my master image is \Pictures\Seattle\SpaceNeedle.tiff, then when I open this image in an external editor, Aperture should automatically make the file: \Pictures\Seattle\SpaceNeedle (1).tiff, and open that file in the external editor... rather than create SpaceNeedle.tiff in its own managed library where I can't even find it using Finder or Windows Explorer, etc.
Many of us have this complaint (just search Apple discussions)... PLEASE rectify this problem ASAP as it is completely messing up our workflows by requiring us to manually save through the external editor and then having to manually remove every 'managed' file that Aperture makes. This is really a pain and seriously makes me want to switch to a different image management program... though I love Aperture thus far and would love to stick to it as I believe it is visionary and shaping the future of how photographers will manage their digital workflows!
Many thanks in advance for your time!
Best,
Rishi

IPhone 6 External Mic not working for Siri/Dictation

I am finding that the external mic on my iPhone 6 works for phone calls and voice memos, but does not work for Siri/Dictation. When I plug in the earbuds, they work for everything (including Siri/Dictation).
Was chatting to Apple support who had me reset all settings. I thought that worked, but realized that after a reset, Siri is off and I was talking to "Voice control" (which works). When I turned Siri back on, it does not work.
I have two questions for the community to see if you can help:
1- I have been assuming this must be a software problem since the mic does work for non-Siri access. But is that true? Is there a hardware component that Siri depends on which could be faulty here?
2- If it is software, what action should I try to address it? I have done a reset all settings already and that did not help.

Hi, everyone. I talked to Apple Genius at Apple Store last week, she said it should be a software issue and I needed to reset my iphone 6 plus as a new device and I can not use the backup restore from my iCloud, it was because the microphone bug or glitch can be in the backup also. Ok, followed her advice, erased all contents and set my iphone as a new device , the microphone worked for an hour, but went bad again. I used "voice memo" app from Apple to test the microphone. It is the best tool since it doesn't involve any provider's network and it doesn't need another person's phone to listen and test. If you can hear your voice recording clearly, then the mic works. I tested it 3-4 times a day for a few days now, half of the time the mic doesn't work. So, set as a new device isn't working. The issue is intermittent and it comes and goes as it likes, so very annoying. I carry my Apple EarPods with me in these past few days ust in case I need to make important phone calls. Will need to go back to Apple Genius this weekend for sure. Will give update after the weekend.

External Display not working (descriptive details in post)

Hello
Background:
I have been using a black Macbook (last year's model - before the aluminum ones came out) and connecting it to a VIZIO VW22L HDTV10T (television/monitor) via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter.
This setup always worked, although it was a bit finicky (I'd have to plug it in before closing the display to get in to work in clamshell mode, for example). I get the feeling from reading other forum posts that this is the normal case, though (which so far has been my only real gripe with OS X).
Anyway, back a couple months ago I wondered if this finicky-ness was partially caused by a messed-up preference file, so I decided to try and fix this. In the ensuing tweaking, I somehow caused my Display preferences to disappear.
After much effort trying to fix the problem, I eventually called Apple support, which ultimately recommended that I reinstall OS X. I didn't do that, and continued to work at the problem. I eventually was able to bring it back by going into my Time Machine backups and restoring all the Display preference files (I used old preferences from back when I got the external HD, so I knew they'd be "uncorrupted). However, now I'm having problems with my external display, namely that it is not working.
This problem started early this year, so it might have been caused by the 10.5.5 update, but since I had all these other problems going on, I'm not sure if that was the case.
Problem:
The Macbook doesn't seem to recognize the display, or is having problems routing video to the display, or something.
If I plug the display into the Macbook while it is running normally, the Macbook LCD will flash blue (like it picked up a new display), but them come back to normal. The monitor will go out of sleep mode for a second, but then display a "No signal" message. If I attempt to "Detect Displays" the Macbook screen will either flash blue (as before) or just do nothing.
If I have the display plugged in when I start up the Macbook, everything will proceed as normal until the time the desktop would be displayed. Instead of this, I just see a blue screen (like some generic desktop before any background is applied). The menu bar, the dock, and icons do not show up. However, I can hear various audio cues telling me the computer is running fine except for htis problem (email notifier going off, etc.).
I know the problem is not faulty hardware, because when I boot my Macbook into Windows, everything works perfectly. It therefore follows that it is an OS X problem. I downloaded both Cocktail and Applejack and run various repairs on them (most notable repairing preferences), but nothing has changed.
Any suggestions about how to try fixing this? If there's any technical detail I've missed, let me know.
Thank you in advance to everyone who tries to help.
-Richard

I have same problem. MacBook Pro (new, 2014) upgraded to Yosemite. Had been running with ViewPoint high-resolution, 27" monitor, HDMI. I tried Thunderbolt connection -- it connected, but it would not allow the external monitor to run at its native resolution (2560x1440). It would only display properly using HDMI. Just 3 days ago after I installed the latest OSx software update, and my external monitor problems started. On startup, my MacBook screen flickers non-stop. I can fix problem eventually (after several tries) by disconnecting the HDMI cable, turning OFF the external monitor power, turning external monitor back ON and then plugging in the HDMI to my MacBook Pro. This is very inconvenient.
I will try using the Thunderbolt cable. When I tried it in the past, it connected, but it wouldn't display the native resolution of my external monitor (which is 2560x1440). Can only get this resolution now with HDMI.
