How to reconnect 27000  photos when the organizer program keeps crashing?

I currently have PSE 9 and some how 27000+ files of 50000+ are unconnected and the organizer is so unstable it crashes before it can even find two files. i don't know how the files got disconnected, I hope they are still there just disconnected to the organizer. Is there a way to scour my hard drives and cull all photos and move/copy them in one place and start all over with a new catalog?

Does your organizer crash in other situations than trying to reconnect files?
I suppose you have already run the 'repair' option in the catalog manager.
Here is some information about reconnecting:
Photoshop Elements (PSE) knowledge base.
If you are able to 'write metadata to files' in the File menu, a last resort solution would be to create a new catalog and re-import your library. That woud at least get your keywords, ratings and notes back. (not albums, stacks, version sets... )

    The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
    The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

  • How archive infostructures are filled when the delete program runs(sd_cond)

    I could not find a suitable forum for this, hence posting it here. I need to know how the ZARIX tables get filled in SAP Archiving. As far as I know, they are filled automaticlaly when the delete job runs, but I could not find any code in SD_COND_ARCH_DELETE program.
    My issue is that my delete program did not fill one of the infostructures which was active and this infostructure corresponds to the zarix table. On the other hand, this infostructure got filled manually(verified in zarix also).
    Wondering how this could have happened. Can this be because multiple delete jobs are running creating various sessions. This is mainly with reference to the SD_COND archive object.

    Hi,
    There is a separate program to fill infostructures as when you fill them manually (Transaction SARJ, Environment -> Fill Structure) a new job is triggered. Have a look at the job that ran when you filled your infostructure manually and analyse the program that ran.
    There should not be any problem in filling the infostructures due to several archiving sessions running at the same time. If you face the same issue again, see if any of the archiving jobs (write, store, delete) failed for any reason. If all the jobs finished successfully but an infostructure didn't get filled then have a look for any OSS note related to this issue. If you can't find anything, raise an SAP message as the infostructures have to get filled automatically as otherwise there will be no access to the archived data.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I move my photos from the organizer into the photo bin?

    PSE 11 on Mac running Mountain Lion.  I managed to import some photos into the Organizer, But how do I get those photos into the Photo bin of the Elements Editor? I actually have opened 3 of the photos with Editor but they don't appear in the photo bin.  I am probably missing something pretty obvious but am totally new to PSE 11 - the last version I used was PSE 8 which used the Browser option in which you could just click on the photo you wanted in the browser and it would open it in the Editor. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Okay, so I'm feeling really dumb - I can't find where "thumbnails" is in the Organizer. I'm including a screenshot of the way my organizer screen looks - I don't see where an thumbnails option is -- sorry for being so dense - usually this stuff is pretty intuitive to me!

  • How do i delete photos in the uploads folder

    how do i delete photos in the uploads folder

    Do you mean photos that were synced from a computer ? If you do then you will need to reconnect your iPad or iPhone (this is the Using iPad forum) to your computer's iTunes and move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-sync - synced photos can't be deleted directly on a device

  • How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one?

    Based on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308132?tstart=0 I decided to add each question seperately:
    Hello, I'm quite interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC which ran out now. Yet, I have a several questions that I can't really find good conclusive answers to, that I'd like to get answered before buying LR. Please don't write maybe like this or that (assumptions), since I don't want to start my whole workflow and then realize that I have to change everything around, so please answer, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using that method too.
    This is the biggest question, where I mainly want a conclusive answer:  How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one of them, using the same photos for editing. I won't use DNG. Details: I mainly use my older MacBook Pro, but would like to be able to use my PC as it's way better (Specs: i5 2500K, 16GB RAM, SSD, USB3, nVidia GTX 560 TI etc.). I have 2 external HDs that I could use, one for Backup and one for the actual Photos/Edits. I'll probably need to use it as my internal HDs are quite full, and I can't just delete stuff or move it to an (Developer programs, Lossless music, etc.).
    Based on this, how do I back up the whole thing e.g. Photos folder (all photos and edits, and preferably presets too)?

    I believe it should be possible to work cross-platform without having to relink files each time, or without having to keep exporting/importing the catalog, by keeping the single catalog and the image library on the one external drive which is then switched between systems as needed.
    Obvious first requirement is an external drive that is formatted in such a way (e.g FAT32) that it can be used on both platforms in read/write mode. Given that, if the catalog AND the images parent folder are both established at the same level in one overall parent folder, then it should be possible to take advatage of Lightroom's ability to use relative paths rather than absolute paths to detect the images, no matter if the drive is named (Mac) or lettered (PC). This is how "export as Catalog" works, i.e. it creates a "package", aka a parent folder, containing the catalog and a replica of the exported images folder hierarchy alongside the catalog. Take that "package" to another system (same OS or not) and "it just works" even if the drive letter is different or the OS is different....because the relative path from catalog to images is still the same.
    I haven't tested this cross-platform (though I have between different PC systems with different drive letters) so for me it's still just a theory, but there may be others who have done this successfully.

  • How can I delete photos in the "Edited" album in the iPhoto app on my iPad??

    How can I delete photos in the "Edited" folder in the iPhoto App on my iPad?

    What a pain...you must go through all that to remove it?! So many unessary steps!
    I also find that when I sync up a new photo folder to replace the old set that I previously wiped out and replaced it staggers afew pictures from before in with the new and will not show all of the new....so frustrating!!!  I even close out iPhoto and go into the photo album and all the photos that synced up which are the ones I do want are all there....it's so different than what I see the album in iPhoto.  Why Apple WHY??

  • HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

    How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
    Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

    The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
    You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
    Event Name will become  Folder Name.
    'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
    Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
    So: File -> Export
    Set your Kind to Jpeg
    Select your preferred Quality
    Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
    Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
    Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer
    Regards

  • Where are the photos in the organizer located?

    When I put photos in the organizer, does the organizer make copies of the originals? Where are they located on the hard drive?

    You don't put any photo in the organizer : the location on the drive of the media files and their properties are written in the catalog database together with a small thumbnail. The photos stay where you have put them.
    If you are 'getting photos or videos' from camera or card reader, you are using an accessory module (the downloader) to upload from your camera card to your computer before the photos are registered in the organizer catalog. You can check the location where the files are written in your computer in the Edit / preference menu of the organizer. You can specify where you want the photos to be stored on your computer.
    After the photos are downloaded from your card, the organizer automatically reads the location and properties of those files and writes that info in the database.
    If you are 'getting photos from files or folders', there is no copy, the updating of the database is made from the already present files on your computer.
    It's up to you to chose if you want to use the downloader or simply use other ways to get the photos from your card to your computer.

  • How to I open photos in the new cc?

    I have been a long time user of CS6, but today I signed up for the new Photoshop CC.  The problem is that I have absoluetly no idea how to open a photo in the new CC.  I don't even see the new CC as something I can download, only a lot of icons that I have never used before and one that is for cs6, which I already have installed on my computer.  From where do I down load the new CC program and how do I open one of my photos in it?

    Ken,
    Thanks for coming back.  Am I to believe that the CS6 on my computer which
    is the latest up dated version and the one that has been there all along is
    the one I am to use until CC is released?  If so that's fine and I then
    would assume that I will get some kind of notice when the CC version is
    released for download.

  • IPhoto 11 - How can I import photos from my hard drive keeping the folders the way they are?

    I recently went from PC to Mac.  I transferred thousands of photos, many of which I had in albums.  When I imported them into iPhotos, it didn't seem to preserve my albums, unless I'm not seeing something.  Is there a way to do that?

    To begin with we only have words to communicate with on this forum so it is critical that we use the same ones
    in iPhoto you have a library which can be views as events, photos, places or faces  --  events and photos view show all photo in your library and faces and places show only thos that have faces or places assigned
    albums are logical entities that are pointers to the photos in the library and are used for organization
    folders are logical entities that hold albums or other folders and also are used for organization
    The photos (by default and recommended) are copies into th eiPhoto library with is a SQL database. you ony access the photos using the iPhoto program or the media browser which is in the lower left hand corner of each open/attach/upload window
    If you drag a folder of photos onto the open iPhoto window it will import them and create an event names the same as the folder  if you drag the foldr of photos to the source pane on the left it will import them into an event and create an album
    The biggest problem most windows users have is thinking of managing their photo with a database rather than the old way of managing files with  a file manager
    iPhoto is much more powerful since you can serach the database on any criteria
    Hope this helps

  • How do I put photos in the cloud?

    I was wondering how to upload my photos to the cloud

    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, and tap Photos in Settings>iCloud and turn on My Photo Stream.  After that, new photos added to your camera roll will automatically be added to your photo stream when your iPad is connected to wifi, has the camera app closed and has at least 20% battery life remaining.
