Hour Glass in Organizer 9

I keep getting hour glasses where the pictures should be in the organizer. I've resinstalled PSE 9 and still have the same problem. I see others have had the same issue -- all unresolved. I have a phone appointment with adobe tomorrow, but I would love some help today.
Thanks so much.
Stacy

Hi Stacy, Yes you will need to import again although Organizer only makes links to your folders and photos
Click: File à Catalog
Click the New button
Give your catalog a name e.g. My Catalog2 (or whatever you prefer)
Check the box Import Free Music - that will bring in the Adobe MP3 tracks used in slideshows
Then click OK
When the new catalog opens click: File à Get Photos and Videos à From Files & Folders
Navigate to your root folder (normally Pictures or My Pictures) then press Ctrl+A to select all sub folders
Click Open or Get Media
Wait for Elements to complete the import, accept all keyword suggestions (select all) and then wait for thumbnails to finish generating.

HELP & THANKS! Why does Hour Glass appear where all Thumb Nail Photos should be in Organizer PSE 9?

All of a sudden all new items imported into Adobe Photoshop elements 9 Organizer have an hour glass that is not moving instead of a thumbnail photograph. Update thumbnail does not seem to work. My operating system is Windows Vista. The photos are Jpeg and are on my hard drive. Some of these photos worked before with a thumb nail photo but do not now. Thanks for any help! Anxiously waiting for an answer.

Hour glass showing instead of thumbnails when importing new photos

I just started using Photoshop 10. When I import photographs from my camera or from any other source, the thumbnails do not show in the catalog, I can only see an hourglass.
If I click on the hourglass, the picture opens and the picture shows perfectly, so the file is there. However when I close the picture an d go back to the "show all" the thumbnails still does not work, it only shows an hour glass.
This was not happening when I was using Adobe Photoshop 9 and I am still using the same Windows Vista computer.

Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
Edit à Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache by navigating to:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\MyCatalog
In side the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
thumb.5.cache
After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
N.B. The ProgramData folder is sometimes a system hidden file, in which case please follow these instructions before starting.

How do I fix thumbnail problems when there is an hour glass?

I have Premiere Elements 10 and when I edit a new picture, I get an hour glass on the thumbnail of that photo. When I click on the thumbnail I do get the picture, but until I do that all I have is an hour glass on the thumbnai.

garydenni
What computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 10 on?
Where are you when you see this hour glass...in Elements Organizer 10? To get the picture, are you right clicking it and selecting Update Thumbnail?
How much RAM do you have installed on your computer and how much is available? How much free hard drive space does your computer have and is it all confined to the Local Disk C, not supplemental drive(s)?
What are the pixel dimensions of the photos involved and how many of them do you have in the Elements Organizer 10 if that is where you are in the program for what you describe. What is the format of these photos, jpg, tif, .psd, other?
More later.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

Hour glass instead of photos

down load fuji hs10 but now thumbnails show hour glass and not pic. click on houg glass and it opens. never happened before. using camera for 3yrs and no problems. any ideas
(thread title edited by forum host)

Try selecting the hourglass thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+click) then click on the top menu
Edit >> Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache which sometime becomes corrupted.
Go to My Computer and click on local disk C and follow the path to the My Catalog folder.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalog Folders\My Calalog
Inside the My Catalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
thumb.5.cache
Highlight that file and delete it.
After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
N.B if you can’t see Application Data when you click on the All users folder, it may be a hidden system file. In that case click on Tools >> Folder Options and then select the View Tab. Click the radio button to show hidden files and folders, then click Apply and then OK.

No preview for imported photos any more (just an hour-glass?) Elements 9 Org

up until last month my photos showed up as normal thumbnails but I must have changed something?? Anything I import into PS Elements 9 Organizer is blank, only shows an hourglass. Can someone please help??
Thanks,
Jeff.

Hi,
First of all, this is a user-user forum and although some employess do pop in from time to time, Adobe don't monitor this one.
It could be that your problem is not that common which is why you haven't had any other replies.
It is possible that your thumbnail cache has become corrupted. Here are some suggestions for fixing the problem: http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Recrea te_Organizer_thumbnails
Can I assume you are using Windows?
Have you tried right clicking on one of the hour glasses and selecting Update Thumbnail to see if that one gets generated?
Good luck
Brian

Seeing file photos, not hour glasses

I'm new to Photoshop Elements. I have downloaded the program and have transferred over 13,000 pictures from iphoto. A couple of days ago, I could see all the photos iin each file. Today, the "Organizer" will not completely download, and all I get in each file is a row of boxes, each with an hour glass. I can open and see each photo individually, but I need to be able to see ALL the photos in each file when I open it.
What do I do to get "Organizer" to fully download so that I can see my photos in each file?

See if this article helps:

Thumbnails on Apple MacBook Pro are only hour glasses

I uninstalled Photoshop elements 10 and installed photoshop 12 on the same MacBook Pro but my image thumbnails only appear as hour glasses. I spent 2 hours with Apple Genius folks and they cannot figure out how to resolve the issue. hope you have some good ideas. Jim

You may need to clear the thumbnail cache which can become corrupted.
Launch the Organizer and from the menu click:
Help >> System Info
Make a note of the file path for your catalog; then quit Organizer.
In Finder, navigate to the My Catalog folder (or whatever you called it) and find the following file:
thumb.5.cache
Highlight that file and send it to the trash.
Then re-launch Organizer and wait for the thumbnails to re-generate.
Your file path should look something like mine:
/Users/99jon/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Elements Organizer/Catalogs/My Catalog/

PSE 8 upload hour glass does not go away

I have had PSE 8 since 2009 and have never had a problem until two weeks ago. When I upload photo's to the organizer they come into the multi-screen with only the hour glass showing. If I double click on the hour glass to get it into the single screen the photo will come thru. However, if I need to reconnect a photo I am unable to see the photo in order to reconnect. When I go back to the multi-screen the photo has again changed to the hour glass. PLEASE help if you know how I can fix this. Thank you Colette

Hi Ralph!
Thanks a million for the bad news
I was beginning to suspect this anyway. Great site, by the way - as you can tell from previous posts I used your terrific instructions a few times already, and of course already tried and failed at the "unbind" thing. There is, however, a small ray of hope. On your site it says that this doesn't necessarily affect all buddies, especially if there are less than 10 on your list. Well, my list has just three, only 1 is audio chat enabled, and it is the only one I really ever use iChat with at all, so since he does use his firewalls, presumably both in his mac and in his router, maybe if he opens the last group of twenty ports open we can chat again. And even if this doesn't work, we still have Skype, so in the end it's not that big a deal - we just prefer iChat for this.
He is on the road for a week, so I can't test this, and he is considerably less tinker savvy, so I would like to try this out before I ask him to start messing around with firewalls and ports. Due to all of our privacy and junk mail concerns, here is an address I use to sign up for stuff that might cause spam proliferation, and I assume everyone out there with a .mac account does the same.
[email protected]
If someone with a .mac account and DSL could at a prearranged time open the last 20 ports (16384-16403) and either try invite me to an audio chat, or have me try to invite them, it would answer this last question for me. My time zone is 2 hours ahead of the UK and 7 hours ahead of EST. We could exchange .mac addresses via our junk mail accounts and give it a shot.
I appreciate the help, as always!
Lars

Problem with freezing and hour glass comes on as if updating every 10 minutes or so and lasts for 52 seconds or more.

When I am on a site, any site, or writing an email every ten minutes or so, the hour glass comes on and I cannot do anything but wait. I think it is updating something. How can I stop this?

Updating to Firefox 8.0 might do it, unless there is damage to the places.sqlite indexes, anyway this is the fix, and I actually option (same as all options).
freezing at regular intervals: http://blog.bonardo.net/2011/09/30/is-your-firefor-freezing-at-regular-intervals
: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
:<br>Install add-on, run at least the option mentioned in the article, I ran them all. When finished you can uninstall the extension, all without taking taking Firefox down, The extension is one of the new JetPack extensions.
Thought I was having that problem right now, but it's my anti-virus scan, usually ties things up pretty much.

I've tried to troubleshoot downloading Firefox but it won't open on Windows XP. The Firefox Update box with the hour glass symbol runs for hours. Then I have trouble even shutting down. When I click on Firefox, no window, program won't quit, etc....

Windows XP. I used to use Firefox and it worked okay. I'm not sure why I downloaded a new version but it won't open. The window that says "Firefox Update" continues to try to load. Hour glass symbol, for hours. If I try to click on the Desktop symbol, Nothing. Then when I try to shut down, it's slow, programs won't quit, or it freezes. I've removed Firefox completely and tried downloading again with the same results. Even with the latest version. Shit. Whassup?

Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Can it reach the internet?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

Firefox will not start in normal (hour glass for a second) or in safe mode (closes after choice box).

Firefox will not start in normal (hour glass for a second) or in safe mode (closes after choice box).
I tried all of the following with no success:
- uninstalling and reinstalling mozilla with no success.
- End all firefox.exe from the task manager and then open again the firefox from quick launch or desktop or program files folder.
- Change the firefox.exe name to firefox2.exe
- Start in safe mode and choose several alternatives after choice box, but nothing happen.
Please help.

What is your computer system, and what Firefox are you using?
Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

How to get the hour glass in the GUI status bar.

Hi all,
how can I get the hour glass and a corresponding text in the GUI status bar? Like during the compilation I would like to show a message 'Processing data ...'.
Best regards,
Nils

A good example is provided in https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webas/abap/abap code samples/abap objects/abap code sample progress indicator.pdf

My hard drive crashed. Lost Photoshop 11 software. When hard drive fixed, I bought and downloaded Elements 12. Trying to get photos in 12. All I have had for several hours are hour glasses. Photos are there if you click on hour glass, but cannot get photos to show up on the grid. What should I do?

Thank you. Unfortunately I have very limited technical skills.I am not sure what some of your suggestions relate to and the others I would not know how to do. But I do appreciate your respnse. A good start might be if you could tell me how to turn off face recognition. Thank you again
