HELP please, missing the Thumbdatabase.db3 file; actions disappear from Effects Panel

I hope someone can help me, I'm totally frustrated and confused. Whenever I install a new action, previously installed actions disappear from the Effects Panel! Does anyone know what's happening and how to fix it? Also, I have no ThumbDatabase.db3 file in the folder: Photoshop Elements 7.0/Locale/en_US Shouldn't it be there? Can anyone help me with both these issues? Thanks so much.

TexasErin, you have solved the whole problem!!!! You have me jumping for joy! I've been dealing with this for three days and ready to give up entirely, completely discouraged that no one seemed to know the cause or how to fix this "case of the disappearing actions"! (BTW, I found the missing ThumbDatabase.db3 file in the Photshop Elements\ 7.0 folder. But I had to click the 7 and completely open the folder to see it. It was not visible in the "tree" on the left side of the panel where all the drives/folers are displayed.)
Your answer completely nailed the issues and fixed them! Most helpful was your suggestion to paste actions directly into the Photo Effects folder, and NOT put actions into their own folders in Photo Effects. I made that mistake and had about 3 folders containing actions in Photo Effects. I got rid of them, pasted all the ATN, PNG and XMLs directly into Photo Effects. I deleted the MediaDatabase.db3, started PSE, and waited a minimum of 30 minutes for it rebuild.
That was another piece of very helpful advice you gave -- to wait unitl the rebuilding message disappears, cursor returns to normal, etc. Your entire answer was so clear and precise and right on target, I'm going to print it and hang it on my wall. Are you one of the Adobe Experts? You definitely sound like one, or should be considered one if not! I'm SO grateful, thanks a million!!!

If in photoshop cs4 you go Help>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Check both the 32 and 64 bit versions of photoshop cs4.
I just tested a couple of canon T5I (700D) files from here and they open in photoshop cs4 with camera raw 5.7 after the dng conversion using the 8.6 dng converter.

Hi vampyro33,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If it seems like system files are missing and applications are quitting unexpectedly, I'd suggest reinstalling Mavericks:

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Missing the itunes installation file

i am missing the itunes installation file and thus can't uninstall old version or install new version - can someone help? thanks in advance

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

So whenever I try to download the newest itunes file it won't let me finish the install process because I'm missing the "Itunes.msi" file whatever that is and I've done some searches but I cannot find the file. Anyone know what to do?

After I installed the latest version of ITunes I get a message saying I'm missing the SQlite3.dll file. I have even unistalled the new version and then re-installed, still same message.

After I installed the latest version of ITunes I get a message saying I'm missing the SQlite3.dll file. I have even unistalled the new version and then re-installed, still same message.

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Now paste it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

Where is the MediaDatabase.db3 file in Photoshop Elements 10 for Mac?

I deleted an effect by accident and need to get it back. I have read that I need to delete the "MediaDatabse.db3" file and restart PE. I have not seen directions to the location of this file for version 10. Should I reset the preferences first? How (for a Mac)?

Hello r253,
The following troubleshooting steps can help get your documents to reappear on your devices.
Documents I've updated on my Mac or uploaded from iCloud.com don't appear on my iOS device
If you're using an iWork for iOS app (Pages, Numbers, or Keynote), check the iCloud system requirements and make sure that you're using the latest version of iWork. For third party apps, check the documentation that came with the app, or check with the app developer to make sure the app supports iCloud. App Store application descriptions often indicate whether the app supports iCloud.
Go to Apple () menu > System Preferences on your Mac. Click iCloud and confirm that you're signed in to iCloud and the Documents & Data checkbox is selected.
After opening your iOS app, wait a few minutes for the documents to appear. Your iOS device may not have connected to iCloud since changes were made to the document at iCloud.com or on your other devices.
Try creating a new document on your iOS device, then check again for the documents from iCloud to appear.
Go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data and confirm that Use Cellular Data is turned on.
Confirm that you're connected to the Internet by checking for an Edge, 3G, 4G, LTE, or Wi-Fi icon in your device's status bar. Test your connection by opening apple.com in Safari.
Try resetting iCloud Documents & Data service.

I have tried the usual suspects to no avail - the item remains stubbornly hidden

It's called "Show All Bookmarks" now. You can also open it by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+B
