Just installed Premiere and can not open a new project, database error

Everytime I try to open a new project i get a Database is "Failed to perform the database operation as the Organizer database is busy.  Please try again later."
Anyone had this problem yet?

Of prime importance...what version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running on?
So, right now a lot of generalizations
1. Close all opened projects and programs.
2. Right click the Taskbar at the bottom of computer desktop to bring up Task Manager/Processes. Look for and End Process for any traces of Premiere Elements and/or Elements Organizer whose process remained opened after you closed the program.
3. Open Premiere Elements to its Splash screen where hopefully you will see tabs for Organizer and Video Editor. Hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys of the computer main keyboard (altogether) as you do a left mouse click hold down on the Organizer tab for about 15 seconds. After that time, release just the mouse click hold down. Wait for a message about deleting the preferences/settings file. Click Yes to the message that should appear. Unhold the Ctrl+Alt+Shift, and then click on Organizer or Video Editor and try to open the Video Editor or Elements Organizer sections of the program without error.
4. Did that work for you? If not, please supply more details.
We are looking forward to your follow up with the outcome and getting your issue resolved.
Thanks.

  • I've just installed maverick and can't open any documents.

    Im getting a 'you don't have permission ' error message. That tells me to 'get info' & when I look there it says I have read & write permission.
    In the finder, the file info - date, size, kind etc. is greyed out, though the file name is full res

    Did all this - the problem is across my network onto shared drives:
    I upgraded my two machines - now when I access files on the "shared" storage array (a thunderbolt, pegasus array) across the network (ethernet) if I modify the file (for instance, a jpg) and then go to save I get a "you don't have permissions to etc...." and then when I just close the file without saving - it disappears from my file server permanently! even if I go to the machine hooked up to the array the file is "gone" - unbelievable. I have updated permissions where I can, deleted and added the sharing for users, tried SMB and AFP, and even downgraded the "sharing" machine back to OSX 10.8 where it was working fine but the client machine still is doing this where it can connect, see all the files, but as soon as I modify a file I get the warning and bam, it's gone forever....
    Wow - this is a doozy.

  • I just installed CS4 and can only open one document at a time. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Are you sure? Do you see different document names at the top of the window, like tabs in a browser?
    PS: ALWAYS tell us the version number (you did, good) and OS (you didn't, bad).

  • Premiere CC will not open 5.5 projects. Why?

    I have puechased CC and can not open 5.5 projects. Why? Why do you offer chat when no one ever answers? Why do you spend so much time and money to avoid at all cost actually helping your customers?

    It had nothing to do with it. The only thing that worked was building the C drive all over again. I whiped it clean. Then we tried to close caption, something we just got working before this happened and now of course it does not work well. We get skip frames all over the place. All the settings that fixed problems before do not seem to work. I guess this discussion was about opening a 5.5 project so I will post my problems with BMD and close captioning in a new post ( ok why did adobe call this version CC, did they not know that was the industry short form for close captioning, duh)
    Claims that Pemiere CC and 5.5 cans exist on the same computer are false. Claims that Premiere CC does not need a Clean install of windows are false.
    My proof, three completely different systems, System A: works but i have no avi export, System B: works but i have no avi export, System C: The system discussed above, needed to be wiped to work.
    3 of 3 of these systems had previous versions of Premiere on them before Creative Cloud was installed. All 3 sytems also got that very annoying "bugs and patches update could not install" thing from the Creative cloud download ap. Why adobe can not provide a manual download for those suffing from this affliction is beyond me. To cheap i guess.

  • I have Creative Cloud installed and Photoshop installed, but I can not open the program itself. No idea why, everything is up to date and i was using it just fine yesterday.

    Try resetting Photoshop Preferences.   Use your Photoshop start icon to launch Photoshop and immediately press and hole Shift+Ctrl|CMD+Alt|Option keys   Photoshop should Prompt you with Do you want your Preferences deleted. Reply yes.   Photoshop should then delete your user ID preferences and then create a default set of preferences for your ID and start successfully.

    I just installed Illustrator, and do not see the font samples in menu box. Can you tell me how to get them to show?
    Thank you.

    Sue,
    I believe this may solve it:
    Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

    I think you have a corrupted upgrade. Do you have a backup of your old system?
    Here's what you should do for now:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • OS 10.8.4 (recent upgrade) and can not open a .dmg file

    I am using an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 and have recently upgraded to 10.8.4 and can not open any .dng file. It indicats that it is not recognizeable. How can I intall my downloaded software?
    Thanks

    Something else is going on then.  Set up a test/new account.  If the problems appears there too, then it means it's a system wide problem.
    Another thing to try if you have not already done so is to disconnect all devices from your computer, repair permissions and restart your computer.  Or do the following: 
    Mountain Lion Recovery
    Boot up from your computer by holding down the command+r keys.  This will take you to the recovery drive.  
    Select Disk Utility & hit Return.   
    In Disk Utility select the HD on the left & click on Repair Disk (bottom right).
