How do I get PSE 8 to open just one file, not previous ones?

I just reinstalled PSE 8 (which I prefer to PSE 10) on my new iMac (using Lion 10.4.7; the previous iMac used Leopard 10.5.8) and when I click on a file in a folder or from Bridge to open it in PSE 8, the previous files I worked on also open. I can easily get to prevously worked on files through the drop-down menu, and it's annoying to have to close them when I don't want them opening when I start PSE 8. Any ideas, please? I've looked at Excel Preferences and System Preferences, to no avail.

This is mostly a lion thing, rather than a PSE thing. To disable applications opening where they left off last time for all the programs on your computer, go to system preferences>general and untick this box:
You can also do on a per-program basis, but it's more complicated and the best thing to do is to search around for directions on the web and see which way is least uncomfortable for you.
There's an odd little glitch in PSE that it opens the last image you had open, even if you closed it before quitting last time. Adobe says this is correct behavior, but of course it isn't.

How do I get Adobe Acorbat to open a .pdf file from a sharepoint library without having to checkout the file

I have a customer that is using Adobe Acrobat pro version 10.1. When they try and open a .pdf file from a SharePoint site, the user is prompted to check out and open the file or open the file. Is there a way to get Adobe Acrobat to open the .pdf file without prompting to check out or open?
Thanks

How can I get my iPad to play just one song from my playlist and then stop automatically?

I am a music teacher and I use the iPod on my iPad to play songs in class. I have a long playlist of songs to choose from in each class, and I want to play just one song at a time. I want to be able to start one song from my playlist and then walk away from my iPad and have it stop automatically when that song is over. (I know how to make it repeat the same song over and over, but tha'ts not what I need. I also know how to push "pause," but I don't want to have to walk away from the children to do it.) How can I make it play one song from a playlist at a time?

I don't believe that there is a way to do that except, perhaps, creating a separate Playlist for each song.

How can I get Indesign CS6 to open JPG/PNG files?

I recently purchased Indesign CS6. When I went to import a PNG, it failed to recognize it. I then tried a JPG to no avail. The exact error message reads as follows:
"Cannot open the file "photo.png". Adobe Indesign May not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be in another application."
How could the plug-ins be missing? Wouldn't these be installed with Indesign? Any advice as to how to proceed?.
Thanks in advance.

You need to use the file>place command.
This is very, very basic and I'd respectfully suggest that you take a step back and learn a bit about the program. This link will get you a free one week trial of Lynda.com where you'll find some fabulous video training: http://bit.ly/RS0GXs

HT1766 how do i get the pc to open up the file dialog when i plug in my iphone? It asked me what to do, and I said to import files and pictures, and now it goes directly to pictures.

I have a laptop with touch screen and windows 8. I plugged in my iphone because i wanted to sync my music to itunes. A box came up and asked what I wanted to do when the phone was detected. I had 3 choices and do nothing. I chose import files and pictures. and now, when i plug it in, it goes right to pictures. How can i change it so the little file box opens and gives me the option to "import files and pictures?"

You should install iTunes for Windows and sync your iPhone with it.

How do I get PSE 12 to save a TIFF file with file extension ".tiff" instead of ".tif"?

I am using PSE 12 as an external editor for Aperture. When I ask to use an external photo editor, Aperture creates a .tiff file in my Aperture folder, launches PSE 12 and tells it to edit that .tiff file. This all works great. When I am done editing in PSE 12, I ask it to save the file and it saves it back to the original Aperture folder with a .tif extension. I can instead say "save as" and then it suggests the file name with a .tif extension. When I correct the extension to .tiff it warns me that I'm going to overwrite the file (exactly what I want!). I say yes and then I find out that PSE did not overwrite the file, but wrote it as a .tif file anyway. I have to go to the folder, delete the .tiff file and rename the .tif file to .tiff and then everything is fine - but what a hassle. Has anyone solved this problem?

That's not quite where the problem lies, which is good, because you can't change that. The real solution is that you don't ever want to see the save as window in PSE if you are using PSE as external editor for any program. When you see it you aren't creating a version for your asset management program. Go to the PSE preferences>saving files>on first save and choose to save over existing file. That should do what you want.

Hello, I have been experiencing similar problems and followed the suggestion and yes, the raw icon comes up as illustrated but there is nothing there to indicate any further action can be taken. So I am presuming that means it is installed and no further action required?
Here's my problem: I have had no problems getting my pics into my organiser in Elements 12 from either my Nikon D7100 or my Fujifilm X100S - until last week. Suddenly when they are imported all I see is the timer icons but they don't open to let me view them. If I click on one it will open and I can then edit it but it will not save an image onto the grid for me to view so it's really frustrating not being able to view all my photos in order to decide what to edit and compare them.
Here's what action I've taken so far - restarted the computer (endlessly), checked the updates and installed them, checked I have the latest raw plug in (I do) and gone into edit/update thumbnail (doesn't do a thing) - and torn out a fair amount of my hair. So anyone out there experienced this and can give me some advice? Please?

Ho do I convert my Elements 5 Catalog to Elements 13 which I just purchased. I followed one of the tutorials and converted my Elements 5 Catalog to a "pse.13db" file. How do I get Elements 13 to recognize that converted file? When I open Elements 13 Catalog Manager and browse to the correct location, it doesn't show the file. Help! Thanks

Bumps a écrit:
Yes - I can run both versions on my PC. But I really would like to have all of my pictures in the same catalog.
You can't merge catalogs (even PSE13 ones) in any PSE version (only LR can do that). So, converting catalogs is not the solution to your problem.
Since you have PSE5 working on your computer and your images also, the solution is to 'write metadata to files in PSE5) and to re-import the images in the PSE13 catalog. That won't duplicate your image files and you'll lose albums/collections, stacks and version sets, but you'll recover tags, captions and ratings.
To be able to re-import the files indexed in PSE5, you may have to move them to a new master folder.
I am not sure what your problem with the conversion may be. It's quite possible that the resulting catalog.pse13db is ok and that the issue lies in the ability to open it in the PSE13 organizer.
As stated by dj_page, double clicking on that file should open the organizer with the new catalog. You could test that by creating a dummy catalog in PSE13 and importing a small batch of photos. Locate the path of the catalog with the menu Help/system info. Copy the catalog.pse13db in another folder and the 'double click' way to open the organizer with that moved catalog database.
For other users that may be interested in using PSE5 (issued in 2006) on newer OS, here is a useful link:

How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?

How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?

The D3200 requires at least ACR 7.1, which isn't compatible with any version of PSE prior to PSE 11, so no, you can't do this directly in PSE 9.
You could upgrade PSE, use the Nikon software to convert the files and then open the resulting images into PSE for further editing, or download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEFs to DNG files that your version of PSE can understand.

How do I get PSE to read tag info on updated jpg files?

Using PSE9 on 2 PCs. Files are stored locally on each, and updates synced via Windows Mesh.
Use case issue:
1) Add tag to jpg on PC1 using PSE.
2) Execute PSE "write to file" command before closing app
3) Confirm on PC2 via Windows Explorer that tag info is updated on local file
4) Open PSE on PC2, bur additional tag info is not recognized by PSE.
5) Tried to re-import test files in PSE using "Get Files" function, but tag data was still not read by PSE.
6) Manually added new tag to tag list, reloaded PSE, but new tag info still not read on file.
7) Ran Optimize and Repair catalog functions, but problem persisits.
How do I get PSE to read tag info on updated jpg files without rebuilding the entire catalog every time I edit a file?

Simple : you can't.
Why ? Because the tags are stored in the database of the catalog. When you 'write' metadata to files, you can see it does work. The new tags are written to the files. But the new tags are ignored by the catalog in the second computer. You'd have to delete the file entry from the catalog and reimport it, supposing the tag is already in the tag list. Otherwise the tag would appear in the 'imported tags' category.
The Organizer is not meant to be a multi-user database.
What you can do to share media and catalogs between two computers having the same Elements version is to store the media files and the catalog on an external drive you can plug to each computer when needed. Note that the drives should be recognized with the same drive letter.

How to I get a folder to open up in Final Cut Pro version 6 thats off my desktop?

How do I get a folder to open up in Final Cut Pro version 6. I'm on a MAC OS X Version 10.6.8. The movie folders I imported on my desktop from a Lacie Rugged Triple external hard drive. When I try to import the folder a pop up comes up that says, "ERROR: No translatin templates matching the selected XML file were found. Unable to import this file." When I try and drag the folder into Final Cut a pop up comes up that reads "Please choose a translation document file". What should I do or what am I not doing?

YYou should ask this question on the Final Cut Studio forum.

How do I get IE 11 to open in the same window on the task bar?

How do I get IE 11 to open in the same spot on my task bar. i.e. IE 11 is on my task bar. When I open it, it opens in a new place on the end of the task bar. Microsoft Outlook, Windows Explorer, Quicken, Adobe, etc,, all on the task bar open
right at there location on the task bar; not in a new place at the end of the task bar.
How do I get IE 11, Windows 7, 64 bit to open at the same place as the IE icon???
Thanks

Hi,
Seems a strange issue, How about un-pin IE from the taskbar, then re-pin it to the taskbar for a test?
If doesn't work, I suggest you turn off IE 11 in "Turn Windows Features on or off", reboot PC, then re-turn on, check the result again.
