ITunes/Photoshop Elements Photo Sync Fails After PSE Upgrade

After upgrading from Photoshop Elements version 9 to version 13, the iTunes "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" feature no longer works.
iTunes continues to show the albums from version 9, and photo syncing any of the albums causes iTunes to fail into an un-ending loop without an error message. Photo syncing from other folders works fine.  I temporarily re-installed Elements 9 and iTunes photo sync began to work, but using the old version 9 photo catalog.
Is there a fix that will get iTunes to sync with Elements 13 photo albums? Are there files or registry entries that need to be re-pointed to the Elements 13 photo catalog?
I'm running Windows 7 with SP1 and iTunes 12.0.1.26 on a very capable HP PC.
All help appreciated.
Thanks ... Tom

While I haven't heard a solution to posts I've made to both Adobe and iTunes sites, I have found a manual workaround.
The catalog files that iTunes uses are of the format "catalog.pseXdb". 
In my case, the new catalog is "catalog.pse13db" and the old is "catalog.pse9db". These files are found in catalog folders like: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\Elements 9 Catalog
With iTunes and PSE closed,
1) copy the catalog.pse13db file to the "Elements 9 Catalog folder. 
2) rename the old catalog.pse9db file to keep it and deactivate it
3) rename catalog.pse13db to catalog.pse9db
iTunes will continue to use the older catalog file, but it now has new catalog contents.  The manual part is that this will need to be done prior to each time you want to sync new catalog content to your devices.
Somewhere around PSE version 7, the catalog file format changed, so this technique may not work for upgrades from about v7 upward.

  • PC-Suite sync fails after Firmware upgrade of E65

    After firmware upgrade of E65 PC-Suite stops syncing Calendar & Contacts from outlook. No error messages, just "0 entries has been updated".
    - PC-Suite updated to 7.0.9.2
    - Outlook 2003
    - XP Prof.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The funny thing is - the notes are synced???? If I restore some old contacts they'll double up in outlook, so I think the problem is, that the sync app doesn't see the outlook contact & calendar folder.
    Does somebody has an idea?

    Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
    Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

  • Upgrade to Photoshop Elements 10 - Security Advisory for PSE 8 and earlier

    https://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-03.html
    Based on the aforementioned advisory, those of you using Photoshop Elements 8, or earlier, should probably upgrade to v10 (or at least 9). Although it has been stated that, "Adobe is not aware of any attacks exploiting these vulnerabilities against Adobe Photoshop Elements to date", it seems silly to run software that contains one or more known critical vulnerabilities and Adobe is NOT going to fix the issue since PSE 8 and earlier versions are no longer supported. Nice of Adobe not to bother fixing a vulnerability in one of their software products when the version involved is only ~2 years old (PSE 8) but the mentality appears to be one designed to virtually force users to pay for upgrades every year or two. FWIW.....

    I admit that it is rather strange that they just issued that advisory when they probably knew about it when pse 8 was stiil being sold.
    Since pse 8 shares much of the code of cs4, look at the date on this advisory for cs4 and yes adobe doesn't have a good track
    record about updating photoshop elements and that is kinda bothersome.

  • Import images into Photoshop Elements Photo Organizer from Safari

    Hi,
    I recently bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac. Safari is my default browser. I wonder, has anyone seen an extension or add-on to Apple Safari 5.0 that creates a context dialog that would allow one to import an image from a web page into the Adobe Elements 9 Photo Organizer. Currently, the process of importing into Adobe Photoshop Elements Photo Organizer is both elaborate and tedious. Alternatively, am I simply unaware of some simple drag and drop method to import an image from the web into Photoshop Elements 9 Photo Organizer?

    Hi Jack
    It’s just not possible on the MAC even with the better Firefox open source Web Browser.

  • Photoshop Elements 'Photo Mail' feature

    I recently received an email created with Photoshop Elements 'Photo Mail' feature
    The presentation of the photos was very attractive.
    I have CS4 which does not include Photo Mail.
    Anyone have a suggestion as to how Photo Mail can be duplicated in CS4?
    Thanks
    Bob

    That feature is for people who don't understand images or email or both.
    Why would a professional program like Photoshop include it?

    OpenDirectoryDude is this related to the other discussion you started at http://forums.adobe.com/message/5773847#5773847?  In that discussion you were trying to install Photoshop Elements 6.0 and faced difficulties.  You then stated that Photoshop Elements 11 did install successfully.  Is there a reason which you are now also trying to install Photoshop Elements 9?
    To diagnose why Photoshop Elements 9 is failing to install you will want to review the installation log files.  Please see Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html for information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you locate to this discussion.

  • To change from Photoshop Album 2.0 to Photoshop Elements 12 can I do an upgrade or do I need full

    to change from Photoshop album 2.0 to Photoshop Elements 12 can I do an upgrade or do I need to get the full verision

    I don't think adobe offers an upgrade path from photoshop album 2.0, but you can find photoshop elements
    12 cheaper at your local box store than even the adobe upgrade price.
    They are both the full versions anyway.

    The first two issues sound like a video driver problem.
    What is the make/model of your video card/chip?
    What is the installed video driver number and date?
    For the last issue, it could be many things, including the video driver. I'd look over this ARTICLE, and if there is nothing in the first part, then move on to tuning up the OS an computer in the second part. That would probably be a good time to post the full specs. of your computer, and also both your Project and Source footage. Finally, part three covers many troubleshooting tips, and furnishes many links.
    Good luck,

    When did you upgrade to 4.1? 4.1 is no longer signed by Apple. It's no longer possible to (legitimately) install 4.1.

  • Using Photoshop elements 13 and windows 8.1. After one week, Photoshop elements photo editor will nit load. This occurred after I scanned in some large files. Is there a connection?

    Not only will photo editor not load from organizer@@@@, it wont load at all on my computer. What happened? more importantly how do I fix it?

    I've got things working now.  The process I followed was:
    1. Reboot in safe mode
    2. Run Photoshop elements.  It worked in safe mode.
    3. Unplug the network cable
    4. Restart in normal mode
    5. Run Photoshop elements.  It worked with the cable unplugged.
    6. Exit out of Photoshop
    7. Plug in the network cable
    8. Now Photoshop seems to start up normally.
    It seemed to me that the problem had something to do with license validation.  In safe mode there's no network connection, which might disrupt validation.  When I left out steps 3, 4 and 5, it still didn't work.  After doing that once, it seems to work.  If it stops working, I'll post another reply here.
    YMMV.
