Getting an "Adobe Photoshop Elements" "Updating..." Window

Every now and then (always when I'm in a hurry) I get a Window that pops up in the organizer that has the title "Adobe Photoshop Elements" and a message "Updating..." and a progress bar. Most of the time it zips right through to 100% but sometimes (like right now) it takes a long time - like over an hour!!!
Anyone have an idea of what it's updating?
I've looked at the resource monitor and it looks like the file PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe has over a hundred files (photos) open and reading from them. Is it rebuilding thumbnails or something in the DB?
Also, not sure if it's related but I use the Media Center plugin to view slideshows. Is it somehow messing things up - maybe clearing the thumbnails?
I'm running Vista Home Premium. Intel Quad Core [email protected] 4GB ram and a Raid 5 disk array.

Dave,

It appears to be related to watched folders. Try disabling all watched folders by unchecking File > Watch Folders > Watch Folders. If that doesnt work, you can try turning off the service Active File Monitor that implements watching see one of the threads above for how to do that.
Please post back if either of those works.

I operate a windows 8, 62 bit computer. I have ordered and downloaded the following product for AU$129 Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 (Windows,English) on the understanding that it would convert PD files to word. It is not doing so. Is this a wrong order?

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
Try starting the organizer while holding down the shift key. Hopefully, it should load the Catalog Manager.
Select your current catalog and click on the Repair button. Once it has finished, click on the Open button to see if the catalog opens.
Good luck,

How can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements Update 9.0.3 after I get a message that Installation has failed and the solution is not in troubleshooting or forums?

My Photoshop Elements 9 stopped working a couple of weeks ago. When I clicked the PSE button nothing happened. I tried this several times over a few days and it still failed. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it. It worked well. Then I tried to install the Update 9.0.3. The download was almost successful. When it was about to show 100% successful for the download, an error message said the installation had failed and that I should try later. I tried this many times over a few days and the same result occurred. I tried troubleshooting and the answers to questions, but I could not find an answer. I don't know where to go to see if anybody has answered my question. How can I install Update 9.0.3?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Windows DVD convert to

I recently purchased a Canon camera bundle and a Photo Suite Deluxe DVD was part of the package, the description at time of purchase did not mention that it was or a Windows based computer only, so the version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 cannot be downloaded onto my Mac. Can I use the serial number I received for that PC version, but download the Mac version from online instead of using the DVD?

Normally, a Photoshop Elements license is good for PC and Mac. Since in this case it is part of some bundle there is no telling what arrangements might have been made. Whether or not it will work out for you remains to be seen thru trying. Here is a link for version 10... give it a shot....

Unable to install Adobe Photoshop Elements on Windows XP

Adobe Photoshop Elements disc came with my Olympus camera but never installed on my computor. I tried to install it but it will not accept the numbers on the disc. Are these the numbers they are asking for? I cannot find any other numbers.

The serial number for bundled versions is usually on the paper sleeve. Serial numbers are not on the disc itself. It will be a 24 digit number beginning with 1057-

I can't make a new level through selection (Adobe Photoshop Elements 9/Windows 7)

Just in english? Not necessarily, you'll find discussions in German too, and forum users can use the 'translate' button on the right part of the bottom action bar.
I can understand German and if it's a question I can't answer myself, I'll provide the translation if you wish for more competent users. I don't use the projects myself, as I prefer to work totally manually; if you state which kind of Elements project you are doing, others may better understand your problem.
Generally, copying a selection on a new layer is done with the keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl J'.
Can you give the exact error message in German?

Updates for raw files from Nikon D5000 on a photoshop elements 7 /windows 7 system

I have photoshop elements 7 but it won't open raw files from a nikon D5000 although I've followed the links and updated. It still says it won't open because it's the wrong type of file..I've downloaded a DNG converter but still nothing is happening.

You download and installed the camera raw 5.6 plugin, by following install directions on the following page?
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.6 update
If you have a windows 7 64 bit system, then the Camera Raw.8bi plugin goes in
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
(the path adobe gives is for a 32 bit windows system)
Also, use the Camera Raw.8bi outside the folder named Win64

Deactivating and reactivating? Adobe photoshop elements 12 for new computer

I am considering buying a new computer, therefore upgrading from windows 7 to window 8.1 and thense to windows 10 when it is released.
I have read that I need to deactivate and reactivate? my Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 once I get my new computer because I can only have one on a computer at one time.
I am however, unsure how to do this.I am also unsure how I would go about getting my Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 onto my new computer, daft as that might sound, especially as I will be using windows 8, which I don't have as much knowledge of using as 7.
I would be greatful for any help. Thanks.

it doesn't matter when you deactivate and then uninstall because it's only on one computer now.
to install on your new computer, download the installation files (if you don't have them) and activate using your serial number.

Editing iMovie files with Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows

Hi,
My 12 year old asked for Final Cut Pro for Christmas to edit movies he takes on his iPod touch and iPad. However, he has a Windows-based desktop. As I understand it, Final Cut Pro is not a Windows-based program. I thought we could get him Adobe Premiere Elements for Windows, but will he be able to manipulate his iMovie files easily? I have no idea what format the iMovie files are. Will he be able to download them to his Windows desktop, edit his movie, and then upload back to his Apple devices? Thanks!

Bottom line: Making distinction between video editor project files and formats of exports.
Details...
The iPod touch and iPad typically offer video files H.264.mov or H.264.mp4 formats. This is not a Mac versus Windows matter because we are talking exports (.mov and .mp4) not project files from a video editing project.
He should be able to take his iPod or iPad device videos and edit them in Premiere Elements. And, then he should be able to return them to his device(s).
But, many of these devices record video with a variable frame rate (depending on the lighting conditions to a great extent). Premiere Elements (any version) can have problems with such video to the extend (a) out of sync audio (b) cannot import file at all. I have a iPod Touch 4th Generation and have no Premiere Elements importing/editing/exporting problems with my 1280 x 720 @ 30 progressive frames per second (H.264.mov) video from that iPod.
Below is an excerpt of Premiere Elements 13 exports that might be of interest...

The ideal way would be to look at the tryout of Premiere Elements 13 before purchase. If not possible, then, if purchased from Adobe direct, there
should be an opportunity for money back within 30 days of purchased. If purchased from an authorized reseller, then the refund/return would be according to the policy of the retailer.
Please let us know if you are OK with the above information. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask. If clarification on anything that I have written is needed, please let me know.
Thank you.

Photos = Adobe Photoshop Elements (Win-XP) capability / restrictions?

a-TV supposedly can sync with Adobe Photoshop Elements on Windows for its photo library. Which Elements 5.0 features are supported and will show/play right via the a-TV, and which are restricted?
e.g.
- Can I create slideshows in Elements?
- Have the same photo in multiple slideshows?
- Use multiple tags per photo to group into slideshows?
- Use Elements Pan / Zoom / Text in slideshows?
I don't have Elements (use the MS suite), but would switch over for a-TV. Any bad experiences with Elements, particularly the photo Organizer tools?
Thanks

I have Elements and consider myself a basic to intermediate user. I took all my 4k plus photos and put them into categories (ie, Christmas 2002, 2003, 1st Birthday, Trip to XYZ, etc). This took several hours but proved to be well worth it as the ATV picks these categories up. I do wish the ATV could let you see thumbnails of your folders in case I am looking for a particular picture but the categories is what I mainly use anyway. Now when I load pics from my camera to my pc I just immediately put them in a category or two. I'm not sure about slideshows as the categories accomplished the same thing. I think you can pick the same photo for multiple categories. Events does not seem to be recognized by ATV.
