Valid size not available for this creation when using Greeting Card feature

Using PSE9 with a Mac. When attempting to create a greeting card, after selecting the photo, the Greeting Card, I receive a pop up error message as follows:
"Valid Size Not Available For This Creation". (All other Create functions such as Photo Book, Photo Calendar, and Photo Collage appear to be working). I have been in contact with Adobe Support and have been instructed to do a number of things from creating a new preferences file to uninstalling and re-installing the PSE software, with no result. Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so have found a fix? Thanks.

I've been tearing my hair out over this one also. I've been on hold for over 10 hrs with Adobe Support waited over almost 2 weeks and still no resolution. I'm trying to create the Save the Date cards for my wedding and I can't wait for Adobe. Removing the preferences file and uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the problem.
That said I did figure out a workaround for this. It's easy but it does require Windows. For me this was no big deal as I do own a Windows box.
Get the free trial version of PE9 for Windows and install it. If you don't have a Windows computer get to a friend that has one
Upload some of your photos to the PE9 Windows Organizer (it's identical to the mac version)
Select Create and then Greeting card. Photoshop will launch the guided edit feature for greeting cards.
Select the Layout feature and once you find out that you like save it as Photoshop project. Repeat this step for as many layouts as necessary.
Copy your Photoshop project files (and any folders) to your mac.
Open the project files as you would with any other Photoshop file.
You can now select the Create feature. You will be able add your pictures and resize them, you will be able to add/remove text, you'll be able to change the backgound/borders, add graphics...pretty much anything...EXCEPT automatically modify the layout. If you click on Layout, PE9 returns nothing. You can however go into full edit mode and if you have decent Photoshop skills you can make any changes to the layout manually.
If I had to put money on this I'd say that there is a problem with the PE9 Mac installation package. For some reason it is not deploying the layout data/files or it is not putting them in the right place. For this reason the program can't find the layouts when the user selects the greeting card guided edit.
Good luck.

Valid Size not available for this Creation (Greeting card only) - Elements 10 for Mac

I purchased Adobe Photoshop/Premiere Elements 10 for my MAC and am getting "VALID SIZE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS CREATION" when I try to create a GREETING CARD only. All other options in CREATE work.
I have read other forums on here and have tried everything they have said and it still does not work. I have tried:
opt, cmd and shift to delete preferences
uninstalled and reinstalled
performed updates on both my MAC and the program
Can anyone PLEASE suggest other solutions to this problem? Perhaps I am doing something wrong. Thanks!

Hi - My file structure is somewhat different than the file structure that you describe in the first part of your note (My system is Windows XP with Service Pack 3). This is what my file structure looks like:
    C:/Program Files/Adobe/Elements 10 Organizer/locales/en_US
         >application_swfs
         >Plug-Ins
         >Suppport Files
No Creation Graphics folder, no Kodak Gallery Folder, no files with the name E9_preview_photocard_1(or2).jpg.
I perfromed a hard drive search on filename E9_preview_photocard* and found these files under:
     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Locale\en_us\CreationGraphics\local
I performed a hard drive search on Kodak Gallery and found the file under:
     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Locale\en_us\CreationGraphics\Kodak Gallery
This Kodak Gallery folder contains 10 files, 2 of which appear to be related to Greeting Cards. These are 5x7_adobe_folded_cards and 5x7_adobe_folded_cards_zoom
Regarding the 235x120 greeting files, I search and found these under
     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Photo Creations\photo layouts
NOW WHAT???
thanks

Why an Error Message "Valid size not available for this Creation" in Elements 10 Photo Collage

I have several image editing programs, but I bought Elements 10 specifically to do things the others wouldn't. I wish to make a photo collage but all I get when I try, after following the instructions in the "help" and "Elements 10 for Dummies" is an error message stating "Valid Size not available for this Creation." A meaningless phrase anyway because nowhere does it request a "valid size." Please will someone tell me the magiac words to make my lovely collage automaticaslly, or shall I revert to doing it manually on one of my other excellant image editing programs?

Photoshop elements 12 "valid size not available for this creation"

I see the message "valid size not available for this creation" when I am in organizer and I try and go to create a collage, photo book or any of those options. I have tried to see what other people have done by changing their location to usa/Canada but that didn't work for me. Can you help me resolve this? Thanks!

The error means that Elements is experiencing problems calling up the templates from the media database. You may need to close elements and then rename or delete the following system file and then re-launch the software and wait whilst the database is re-created. find:
Mediadatabase.db3

Photomerge error msg - valid size not available

When I select photomerge from the Organizer, I get consistantly get the message "valid size not available for this creation". Can't go any further. I thought that maybe my selected photos were too large, but even making them small doesn't help. Advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Barbara - yes I did. But I just solved the problem using a suggestion you
had made in an earlier thread: leave the editor, then restart editor holding
down the cntl-alt-shift keys until you get the message to clear the editor's
prefs. It worked. Thanks for your (earlier) help.

Collage - "Valid Size Not Avail..."

Photoshop Elements 9
I cannot create a Photo Collage as i'm getting the message when i click Photo Collage: "Valid size not availabe for this creation".
I thought it has something to do with my printer setting, but that doesn't seem to be the case?
Any help would be appreciated please. Thanks
ADDITION:
Every once and a while i will get a message after the above "Valid size...." message saying: "An interger between 3 and 0 is required. Closest value inserted". these numbers always change when this message shows.
I've already re-installed the program. this did not fix the problem.

Function not available for this responsibility - Custom Form

Hello All,
We developed a custom form and was working fine in Testing instance.
Last week testing instance was refreshed.
After that all the custom forms are not working. Seeded forms are working properly.
We checked the form setup(ie form, function, menu and we ran compile security and bounced the server).
Custom reports under the custom top are working fine.
Only the form functions throwing the error
"Function is not available for this responsibility".
Any ideas. Is the test.class having any impact on this.

"Update not available for this id" after Yosemite upgrade

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) 2,53 GHz Intel Core i5.
I upgraded O/S from Maverick to Yosemite. Now I try to perform latest update, and iMovie, Numbers, Keynote, Pages are listed in the Update list.
However each time I try to update them, AppStore refused with the error "Update is not available for this id..."
I did not change Apple Id since a long time, and performed latest update on Maverick before doing the upgrade. I checked the "Purchases" tab, these applications are not listed, not sure they were listed before the upgrade. I tried to sign out / sign in with my apple id, still same issue.
Anyone encountered same trouble ? What is the solution to fix this ?
Thanks,

Database Error: RSR0009: Resource not available for pool. Wait-time expired

i am occassionally receiving the following error during database connections in my servlet:
Database Error: RSR0009: Resource not available for pool [webAdvisorTestPool]. Wait-time expired
i understand that this is a result of a connection leak from improper closure of my Connection object, but i thought that i was properly closing my connection.
i can get the error if i do the following steps:
1) access my login page and enter login credentials.
2) submit the login which then hits the Authentication servlet.
3) Authentication servlet authenticates and takes me to home page.
4) hit the back button to get back to the login page.
5) repeat this process until i hit the Max Pool Size (from web server).
6) then i get the error message
here are some details:
i have an Authentication servlet; here is the pertinent code from that servlet:
try {     // retrieve the user and add the User object to the session     DAO dao = new DAO();     Person authenticUser = dao.getPerson(userID, password);     session.setAttribute("validUser", authenticUser);     redirectPage = mapping.findForward("success"); }
i also have a DAO object that handles all of my DB transactions (and you can see from my code above that the Authentication servlet is using that object); here is the pertinant code from that servlet:
public DAO() {     datasource = "java:comp/env/jdbc/webAdvisorTest"; } public Person getPerson(String userID, String password)     throws ObjectNotFoundException {     // JDBC variables     DataSource ds = null;     Connection conn = null;     PreparedStatement stmt = null;     ResultSet results = null;     // User variables     Person validUser = null;     try     {         // Retrieve the DataSource from JNDI         InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();         // if this statement fails, NamingException is thrown         ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup(datasource);         // get DB connection and perform SQL operations         conn = ds.getConnection();         // User variables         String validUserID = null;         String validFName = null;         String validLName = null;         String validEmail = null;         // get DB connection and perform SQL operations         conn = ds.getConnection();         stmt = conn.prepareStatement(PERSON_QUERY);         stmt.setString(1, userID);         stmt.setString(2, password);         results = stmt.executeQuery();         // iterate through the results         if (results.next())         {             validUserID = results.getString("id");             validFName = results.getString("first_name");             validLName = results.getString("last_name");             validUser = new Person(validUserID, validFName, validLName);         }     }     // handle SQL errors     catch(SQLException e)     {         e.printStackTrace(System.err);         throw new RuntimeException("Database Error: " + e.getMessage());     }     // handle JNDI errors     catch(NamingException e)     {         throw new RuntimeException("JNDI Error: " + e.getMessage());     }     // clean up resources     finally     {         doClosure(results, stmt, conn);     }     // if the user was not found, throw ObjectNotFoundException     if(validUser == null)     {         throw new ObjectNotFoundException();     }     return validUser; } protected void doClosure(ResultSet results, PreparedStatement stmt,     Connection conn) {     if (results != null)     {         try { results.close(); }         catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(System.err); }     }     if (stmt != null)     {         try { stmt.close(); }         catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(System.err); }     }     if (conn != null)     {         try         {             System.out.println("R18Resources.conn before close: " + conn);             conn.close();             System.out.println("R18Resources.conn after close: " + conn);             System.out.println("R18Resources.conn is closed? " +                 conn.isClosed());         }         catch (SQLException e)         {             System.out.println("R18Resource conn close error: " +                 e.getMessage());         }     } }
as you can see, i've added some print statements in my connection closure block. based on my output log, each connection is being properly closed and i am not encountering any errors during that closing block.
any ideas???

Please try the following code in your doClosure method. Replace your code with the following code.
public void doClosure(ResultSet pResultSet, Statement pStmt, Connection pConn) throws Exception {
try {
               if (pResultSet != null) {
                    pResultSet.close();
                    pResultSet = null;
          } catch (SQLException se) {
          logger.error( se );
          } finally {
               try {
                    if (pStmt != null) {
                         pStmt.close();
                         pStmt = null;
               } catch (SQLException se) {
               logger.error(se);
               } finally {
                    try {
                         if (pConn != null) {
                              pConn.close();
                              pConn = null;
                    } catch (SQLException se) {
                    logger.error(se);
And let me know if you still face this issue. What is the application server you are using?

Macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was cancelled

macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!
This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
After making your backup try the following:
Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
Open the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
