Installed PSE 8 but can't open catalog :-(

I've installed PSE 8, upgrading from PSE 6.  When I open the catalog it tells me that there is an earlier version catalog and would I like to make it compatible with PSE 8, to which I answer yes, I gave it a new name and clicked ok.  It thinks for a long time and then I get a "not responding" message.  I can't get into the organizer to do the recommendation in the book to convert the catalog.  Any help greatly appreciated!

Yes, it seems like a problem with the main catalog.  I haven't seen a failed conversion before that didn't write a conversion log.  So there aren't many clues to go on.  I have just one more suggestion -- run the utility psedbtool on your PSE 6 catalog:

Because you have both PSE 6 and 8 installed, you'll have to run it specially:
1. Start PSE 6 and do Help > System Info to find the folder path of your PSE 6 catalog folder.
2. Start a command prompt.
3. Type these two commands:
cd c:\psedbtool
.\psedbtool -printVolumeTable > output.log
4. Copy and paste the contents of c:\psedbtool\output.log here.

    I installed Adobe on my Mac Pro but can't open it

    This is an iDVD forum.  You shoud find the Adobe support website and ask there.  When you do you should specify what Adobe application or software you're referring to.

    There was an OS X 10.7 update released a month or so ago that fixed this problem.  Run software update.

    What documents have you tried to open and what happened when you tried?

  • I just install LRCC completed but can't open for use.

    I just install LRCC completed but can't open for use.

    We have several PC's in the union office. As a test I got on the one Mac (in fact I'm on it now). Disconnected the network cable and got to this page via the wireless connection.
    I am the computer guru for the union (but there is a network guy). This computer is connected to the same network, same password, nothing special.
    I added the iPhone MAC address to the router just this morning. I got on the first web page I went to but that was all it did all day.
    Rebooted the router twice and unplugged and reset once.

  • My Apple ID is valid but can't open icloud account how do i proceed?

    My "Apple ID is valid but can't open icloud account" is the message I receive when I try to sign in to icloud so how do i proceed?  I want to install to my ipad and iphone Apple's locator service in my systems, I have a PC for work reasons where I do my apple safari and Itunes and now installed icloud but I don't recall having an icloud account.  I guess I do have an accout but how do I not confuse it with my current Apple Id account as I retrieve or create a new icould account?  Thanks.

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID.  You can only sign into an existing account on a PC.  You first have to create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

  • I have downloaded adobe digital editions but can't open or launch the program

    I have downloaded Adobe Digital editions but can't open or launch the program.

    What operating system.
    If Vista, read http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/installing-digital-editions-20-windows.html
    If XP, quite a few people have problems.  One resolution is to install the older 1.7.2 version instead (which also avoids various other bugs).
    Version 1.7.2 is a little difficult to find,
    I found it for PC at http://www.tucows.com/preview/853736/Adobe-Digital-Edition-For-EBooks
    I'm not sure where there is a Mac version.

  • I can see thumbnail but can't open psd file,photoshop 7

    I have no idea to what is going on, but I did all this work and now that I try to reopen the psd file, I can't.
    I don't see anything, no layer, no photo nothing.
    I am using window xp. got the scratch setup on an external drive with plenty of space. got 4gof memory and plenty of processing power.
    once again I can see the thumbnail but can't open the psd file.
    Thank you for your help.

    I got it to work. I think my main problem was since my psd file crashed I was using existing pdf to save as psd. well that didn't go well with photoshop. Plus the fact my scratch was in an external location. Once I recreated the drawing and installed an additional hard-drive where I relocated the scratch file I was set to go. I now can save and reopen the file with no issues.
    I would like to thank everyone who helped me with this issue.

  • Can't open catalog

    Hi, new to Lightroom so bear with me. Since I'm using Lightrom on my own desktop as well as at school, I have the catalog stored on an externel drive. I've opened it up from the external drive using several differnet computers but just now it won't let me open the catalog saying "The Lightroom catalog named "Stephen+Catalog" can't be opened because it is currently open in another application." As far as I know it is not open anywhere else. Plugged the external drive into another computer and got the same error message. Makes no sense. Help! Thanks in advance.

  • Indesing updated to latest version (10.0) but can't open file created yesterday.

    Created a file yesterday with Indesign. Wanted to continue work today but Indesign requests to update to 10.0. I updated allready I even created this file with this version with this edition of Indesign but can't open it anyway.
    - Alert shown is: Cannot open "[documentname]" because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.0). You must use that version or later to open the file. To then enable it to be opened in this version, choose Save As InDesign CS4 or later, or export to IDML. -
    So to be clear; I created this document in this version of Indesign and it just doesn't open anymore although all possible updates are performed.
    Am really in need of some help since it is about two documents and I just lost work like this...
    Kind regards,
    Linda

    Aaaaaaahhhhh....FOUND IT!! The trick is to NOT use the alias-thumb in the dock, but to actually start up in the apps-folder where the Adobe Indesign 2014 edition is installed next to the 'old' edition.
    Wow. Not sure to feel stupid or to be angry... pffff...
    Back to work I say! (The best remedy...)

    isn't the annual plan for ps and lr?

    Download LR did you remove and reinstall your installation of Photoshop Lightroom 5?  The licensing for your membership will only be applied to Lightroom if you install through the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  You can find additional details at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
