Is  the  organizer really that screwed up?

WOW... it appears  to me  that the  organizer  in ANY of  the  versions of  photoshop is  one  of  the biggest screwed  up mysteries ever written into a  software  program!
My experiences so far. Files  WILL not be  found... the  dreaded  question mark is EVERYWHERE. the user  manual  says  it is a wonderful tool. YA  RIGHT... as  long as  you understand the  totally pointless  and  twisted randomly changing logic  of  this  aspect of  photshop.
ONE  of  the  most important processes  I have  learned  NOT to do... DO NOT COPY or  back up ANYTHING to another  drive, CD or  flash drive.... the  catalog WILL not find  it again.
Like  I have  NOT MOVED  IT THERE... I copied  it.
I HATE  ORGANIZER... it is  the  most pointless waste of  hard  drive  space  I have  every seen in any software  program I have  used.
The  local files  for  example... what the  heck is  that... I create  one  then I cant save  anything to it??
The  list just goes  on and  on.
Anyone  have  similar experiences???I am sure  you do... please  feel free to share.

Good day!

    Help with Adobe.premiere.elements12. Please
    It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer.  How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

    In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
    Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

  • Is the W540 really that bad?

    I am looking to replace my aging W500, as the TrackPoint buttons are wearing out and the GPU performance is not quite up to par. After reviewing other mobile workstations, I keep coming back to the W540 and find that it still seems to be the best in terms of quality and build. I have read all of the nasty reviews, and I would probably agree with their viewpoints, but I have also read some positive reviews that claim that the redesign just takes some time to get used to. I can deal with the off-center keyboard (actually, the numblock is the feature that I missed the most when I purchased my W500), new keyboard keys, and repositioning of the insert block, but the new trackpad still worries me. So now I am asking owners of the W540 (and any current-gen ThinkPad, really):
    1. From a TrackPoint user’s point of view, how is the usability of the new TrackPoint? Is it possible to simply tap on the top corners of the trackpad (where the lines are) in order to left or right click, or does the entire pad necessarily have to be clicked down?
    2. How is the clicking mechanism on the new trackpad? I have used an awfully stiff HP trackpad before, and I never want to do so again. However, watching videos of xx40 ThinkPads makes it look like the pad uses a keyboard mechanism to click, which would be much easier to click. To me, this would make the trackpad suitable.
    3. How is the FHD screen? I have heard nothing but positives about the 3K IPS, but the resolution is too high for me (scaling still sucks in Windows), and it is not worth the increased cost and power consumption to me. How does the FHD compare to the 1680×1050 one on the W500, or the 1600×900 one on the T510 (I have used one for a brief period and was satisfied with its display).
    I understand that the physical TrackPoint buttons will most likely return in the next ThinkPad refresh, but I would rather not wait until February-March to get a new computer. I am also open-ended to new design concepts as long as they work and are usable. As I said, the physical TrackPoint buttons on my W500 are wearing out (the left click in particular does not register unless I press very hard, and I expect even this to fail rather soon), and I cannot stand my current trackpad (the pointing capabilities on the new one look promising, however).

    Thanks for the feedback guys. It looks like I will be going for the W540 after all. After browsing reviews of the new ThinkPads, I think I have come down to this:
    1. Earlier review models and early production batches had hardware issues with the new touchpad, as many reviewers had straight up defective click detection, while others had a working touchpad. This led them to hate the touchpad because it seemed unusable from the beginning.
    2. Some early adopters had a functional touchpad, and they either found it inconvenient or better than the previous one. Either way, it wasn't a big deal for them unless they had some major ergonomics issue.
    3. Once the new ThinkPads had been out for a while, the complaints of touchpads that failed to register clicks kind of died out, and some reviewers who looked at multiple models found that to be the case with their second and third ratings on the trackpad above their originals.
    I'm not really a ThinkPad "purist," and I can probably learn to like the new trackpad.

  • I'm trying to change my phone case, i have the bumper that screws in if i goto the apple store will they unscrew the case for me?

    I have the bumper case that screws in so it doesn't fall apart, but i want to take it off. Will the apple store unscrew the case for me? or would i have to go to At&T to have them screw it off?

    Hey,
    I can confirm what xtremecaron has said, Apple will defo not remove the bumper for you. Best bet is to try different screwdrivers.

  • Is the Iphone 4S battery really that bad ?

    Hi I'm looking for a new phone and Iphones have always appealed to me. I've heard about how bad the Iphone 4S battery is and even heard some people have to charge it mid day - is this true ?
    Is the battery really that bad ?
    I'm also trying to decide on whether to buy the Iphone 4S now (full price, £500) or wait until the Iphone 5 (if it) comes out ?
    If I don't but an Iphone now I'll probably buy the New Ipad as I feel really restricted on my 1G Ipod Touch and using a laptop feels really clunky
    Thanks in Advance

    You're going to get as many different answers as people who post. Keep in mind that the vast majority of people who post on a technical support forum are people who have problems. It's not exactly an unbiased sample. My battery is fine.

  • Advantage/purpose of the Organizer

    As I continue to use and read up on PE 11 (I'm using the Mac version), I am starting to wonder what the advantage/purpose of using the Organizer is? It seems you can import all the media for a project right into PE 11 and not really need to go to the Organizer. Moreover, I find it a bit distracting and cumbersome to flip between the two programs.
    One point....I thought it would be a good idea to import all my photos from iPhoto (File > Import Videos and Photos > From iPhoto) into the Organizer so that I wouldn't have to open iPhoto (thus another program I would have open using resources) and import photos I want to use in a project. Well, two things happen that I wasn't thrilled about:
    1) It actually copies over all the photos, and now I have two sets of all Photos eating up space on my hard drive (I would have preferred it to just point to the photos)
    2) The folders it created uses the criptic folder names in the iPhoto Library, not the nice Album, Event, and Folders I created in iPhoto--so finding a photo that I want will be a pain
    Being that I am not really into using Photoshop Elements (yet), I will continue to stick with iPhoto itself.
    Thus, I am wondering if I can just live with opening PE 11 without the Organizer and occasionally opening up iPhoto to bring in photos into my projects.
    So, in short, is there any advantage/purpose to using the Organizer, especially if I don't plan on using Photoshop Elements?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    Tony,
    Like you, I do not really use Organizer, but have other "cataloging" utilities, my main on being Adobe Bridge (sort of like Organizer, on steroids). It is the "Organizer" with Premiere Pro, Photoshoop, InDesign and Illustrator. I also use a 3rd party utility, ThumbsPlus.
    Now, while Bridge interfaces with those programs listed, it is like a 3rd party program, regarding Premiere Elements, in that it does not directly interface with PrE. Same for ThumbsPlus. Also, Organizer has some powers, that Bridge lacks.
    It just depends on what one wishes to do, and how they like to do it. I have only used Organizer to try and answer questions in this forum, and otherwise, use other programs personally.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Can't I use my Scanner with the Elements 10 editor without the organizer??

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for a looong time to help me create the product images I need for my online business. It's been a love-love relationship... until I took advantage of a special offer and bought Elements 10. Now it seems the only way I can scan images is thru the Organizer.... and the organizer is something I don't need.
    Is there a way to scan my images thru the Editor only... and completely bypass the organizer (as I'm able to do with my older version of Elements)? Like a twain plugin I can install or something?
    I may scan 10 images and decide to use only 3 of them... and those are the only ones I save.
    With the way PSE10 is set up using the Organizer to scan, it's saving all 10 of them. Not to mention the extra steps of scanning thru the Organizer... (which means that pop-up window for my scanner every time), back over to the editor to pull the images in for editing, back to my files to delete the ones the organizer saved that I don't want... etc etc etc.
    It's like 5-6 extra steps altogether and a huge time-sink for me (you know the old saying... time is money).
    If there's no way to bypass the Organizer for scanning.... can I get a refund on my purchase? My older version of Elements works beautifully for me...  I was just hoping for  more sophisticated image editing capabilities.
    VERY frustrated right now.

    Thank you very much for your explanation which I fully understand.  Since a "fix", as you say, is not a solution might it not be a good idea to alert purchasers of the latest editions of Elements that they have an option to try this alteration to the installation in order to be able to import images from a scanner?  (My own experience with versions prior to 9 always worked perfectly!)  I do not know but does Photoshop CS5 allow the user to import images from a scanner or does the user have to use a similar solution to what applies to Photoshop Elements?  I find Elements to be a very good app and am sure it is a good selling product for Adobe for amateur/semi-pro users that the alternative that I suggest may be a useful tool for existing or new users who want or need the capability to import from a scanner rather than having to go through other more difficulty and time consuming ways of doing the same task.  Kindest regards and with my best intentions.

    It's not a "fix", exactly. The TWAIN plug-in causes a lot of crashing in PSE so in the past couple of versions adobe makes you install it if you want it.

  • Accepting an exchange calendar invite promotes me to the organizer

    I use a MBP 2012 which is running OS X 10.10 and iPhone running iOS 8.1.
    When I accepted a meeting invite in Exchange through the calendar app, i was made the organizer of that meeting and an invite was sent on my behalf to all other participants. I am also experiencing multiple invites being sent to all attendees for my meetings even though I did not send any updates.
    Not sure if this is related to iOS8.1 or OS X Yosemite (10.10)
    I recall a similar bug in iOS 6 which was later fixed by Apple.
    Is anyone experiencing this issue? Even better does anyone have a workaround which will not make me an Organizer when I accept someones meeting.

    Incidentally, I am on iPhoneOS 3.1.3, I have deleted the Exchange account, rebooted the iPhone, and re-created the Exchange sync.
    As I said, the appointment looks fine in Exchange web access and in Outlook.

  • Is there a picture organization app that will let you move pictures around the way you want?

    I need a recommendation for a picture organization app that will actually allow you to sort pictures the way you want and have them stay in that order.
    The native app just doesn't allow me to sort my pictures into what ever sequence I want them in.  Creating new folders is OK, finally being able to delete pictures from photo stream is great but I really want a finer level of control over the order in which my pictures are displayed.  I looked at iPhoto but it has lots of reviews that say it doesn't do this so I am looking for an app that will give me control of my albums and will allow me to sort my pictures the way I want them.

    Hi Thom_D,
    I have iPhoto and I have found that it works very well for me, organising photos etc. onto a pinboard type thing.
    Hope this helps!

  • PSE9 Organizer with Win7 - Really That Bad???

    I've just ordered PSE9 hoping to upgrade from 7. However, after reading the nightmare threads on this forum about the organizer (my primary purpose) I want to write "return to sender" on the package and not even open it! Is anyone having a GOOD experience with the organizer and Win7? I'm hoping I just hit a sour patch of experiences. However, I went to look at the reviews and even someone giving it 5 stars said.... a lot of features stop working after the first use, but I don't care..... Nice.
    Should I just send it back and wait for 10 or switch to something else? Thanks for your opinions.
    ECabber

    First a caveat:  "I know virtually nothing about everything"  !!!
    I am not (what I would call) a sophisticated user of PSE9. I have a long way to go....
    For what it's worth....
    I was running PSE6 under Windows XP on an older Dell Inspiron laptop w/ only 40gb drive and an external WD 500 gb passport essential.
    I am replacing that with a  Dell 17R laptop w/650 gb drive running Windows 7.
    I first inquired (via chat) about the converstion process, and was initially advised, the convertion with all metadata could not be done. With thousands of file containing keywords, ratings and captions, my response was "you gotta be kidding"...
    I started the switch around Jan 5th.  I then really commited to using the Organizer.  (I had been utilizing only the editor).
    Long story short: "ultimately" with the assistance of Adobe tech support, a "full PSE backup" from old system, and a "PSE restore" to new system, it seemed OK. but the "folder view" seemed to go flakey with out-of-sequence files within a folder.  Support connected to "both" of my systems such that they could view (and discuss) what I had been describing.  While support was arriving at a technical solution, I re-built my catalogues and re-entered metadata manually.
    Support came back with a solution in a few days, but in the meantime, I was running the organizer on my new system with NO apparent issues, and from what I can tell the organizer is solid in all respects.
    Now  in my conversations with tech support, they DID indicate that the migration under my circumstance had technical  problems. And I would assume that some technical issues have been worked on or resolved.    But as of now, I have moved passed that.

    I just got my new i phone 5 s and did all the syncing and backing up for my old iphone 4s and set my 5 up and synced it on itunes.  It synced evrything but the contacts and other minor things. those were the only things that really transfered.  My apps and all my music did not. Tthe thing is when i just went to go manually start dowmloading a few of the songs that i knew i already bought , itunes is making me pay forthem again.  Its not saying instal like it usuall does when you go download something aleady purchased on your itunes account.  I think or thought it might have something to do with the fact that i just changed my apple id name right before i got my new phine but my apps all re-downloaded (manually-no syncing) without making me pay for them again.  i dont want to have to purchase allllll my songs again.  Can someone please help me!!  Itried going back to my old id or signing out of this id and signing in as my old apple id but now it wot even get on that oneits likjeit doesnt exist anymore..   And when i plug my old phone it shows in the itunes everything thats supposed to be there but all that doesnt stay in the itunes when i actually un plug it so when i plug my 5 in to my computer none of the stuff is in the store for me to actually transfer it  I am so good with technology and this has me stumped  please help

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • I have been organizing my bookmarks into folders. There are a bunch of bookmarks that appear on the Bookmarks Menu that do not appear when I used the Organize Bookmarks option. Therefore I can't organize them. How do I get at them and move them to folders

    I used Organize Bookmarks to put some bookmarks in folders. When I had done all the bookmarks that appeared outside of folders in the Organize Bookmarks window, I closed it and looked at my bookmarks menu. Under my folders were some other bookmarks that I hadn't seen in Organize Bookmarks and when I used it again, they still weren't visible. Therefore, I couldn't move them into folders.

    Update - I discovered that the entire list of bookmarks can be accessed in the Organize Bookmarks window by clicking on the icon for Bookmarks Menu.
    This seem like odd interface behaviour to me.
    All the other software I use follows the pattern that an icon with a triangle to the left, which you click on to expand the menu tree downwards, shows the entire contents of the category when you click on the triangle. In other words, you don't get a different response by clicking on the icon from what you get by clicking on the triangle.
    It also seems odd to me that when an unsorted bookmarks folder is automatically provided that unsorted bookmarks would not be placed there by default.
    Anyway, by getting the list of bookmarks displayed this way I was able to simply right-click on items in the list and delete them, as I thought I should be able to do. Problem solved. Organize Bookmarks interface found to be somewhat unintuitive.

  • Really need help...can't get my old songs to reload onto my ipod.  The only songs that will load are ones I have purchased recently on my iphone.  I can see all my music in my library. Help please!

    Hi everyone..I really need some help!  My computer went in for repair and cleaning.  The music in my itunes library at the time was backed up on discs.  I had not resynced my ipod touch with computer since that occurred in May of this year.  Since then I have purchased an iphone and some new music was purchased as well.  My phone has the new music (which is about 100 songs).  Yesterday I decided I was ready to get everything organized and put all my music on my ipod and my apps on my phone.  I have, as it would appear, reloaded all my music back into my library (a little over 1000 songs) as I can see the music and I can open and play it through itunes.  I have resynched my ipod touch.  All the music that was on my ipod touch has now been taken off and the only music that synched with it is the music I have purchased since I bought my iphone (only about 100 songs).  Can't get all music on my ipod at all.  Additionally, my account is not recognizing the touch as one of my devices.  Any help at all would be appreciated!  

    You can contact Apple and request a 1-time redownload of your lost purchases. Of course, they prefer you follow some of these recommendations on backing up your purchases.
    I think the e-mail form on this page is the best place to start for requesting the replacement download.

    I am a first-time iPad owner/user. I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. iTunes message says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. If I make a new iTunes account, would the apps be erased when I tried to use it?
    How can I just get my files onto this iPad, and still have the apps that my relative left there for me?
    Thank you.

    iPads sync to 1 computer only.
    All media and apps are tied to the Apple ID that purchased them.
    Without your relatives ID and password, you cannot update any of the Apps.
    I am pretty certain he is also violating Apples terms of service by giving you the apps.
