Missing files in Photoshop 3

Today I opened my catalog in Photoshop 3 for the who knows how many times and all looked fine. When I click onto any of the photos they appear grainy and have a broken orange box at the mid-bottom of all of them. A box then comes up 'searching for missing file" and nothing is found.
I have no idea what happened but really need to restore the pictures. Any alternatives are greatly appreciated.

Missing files in Photoshop Elements 8

I just upgraded from PSE 7 to PSE 8. All photos in PSE 7 are viewable, crisp and clear (about 7000 photos going back to year 1999). Each year I make new folders of the events for that year and keep them under my Photos folder on my "D" drive (have one HD partitioned into a "C" and "D" drives).   In 2010, I made folders for various events and titled them according. Example are 2010 - Easter; 2010 - Hawaii, 2010 - Convention, etc. All of the earlier photos (prior to 2010) for 2009 and earlier years "converted" without any apparent problems in PSE 8. Several of the 2010 folders also converted without any problems, but the three most recent folders of photos show as blurry thumbnails in the PSE 8 Elements Organizer screen and when clicked on say "searching for the missing file". The file cannot be found.
As far as I know there is no difference from the way these 3 folders of photos are titled and were imported into PSE 7, where they continue be viewable as sharp photos. In other words, in PSE 7 there is no problem but in PSE 8 these three files of photos cannot "be found".
Anyone have any idea what the problem is and how to overcome it? If not, then I guess it was a mistake to upgrade from PSE 7 to PSE 8 as PSE 7 is working perfectly. Best bet is just remove PSE 8 until this problem is fixed???
Running Windows Vista Ultimate.

Found the solution. I cloned the drive like you did and PSE became confused since there are now two drives with identical volumeid. It kept pointing to F: when I wanted to point to C:.    I cloned C: when I installed F:    so both F: and C: now has the same volumeid. Download volumeid from microsoft and verify that they are have the same volume id by typing vol C:    and then vol F: . After verifying that they both indeed have the same volumeid, type volumeid F: 1111-1111. Basically change the volume id of F: to 1111-1111. Reboot and PSE should now point all the files to C:

Missing files from photoshop elements 6

I AM NOT ABLE TO PRINT, DURN TO CD OR TRANS TO USB SOME OF MY PICTURES IN MY ORGANIZER. CAN NOT RECONNECT BECAUSE THERE IS NO FILE TO BE FOUND WHEN I TRY RECONNECTING. I WAS TOLD 1ST FIND FILE I DID THAT. 2ND FIND PATH THIS I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO DO. AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE ABLE TO RECONNECT. IF ANYONE HAS THE ANSWER THANKS.

Are you sure that you have not deleted files from your system ? Reconnect makes a search for these files on your sysem. If files are not available, then I dont think there is any option.
Did you have backup of those files somewhere else _

Adobe Bridge CC 'Tools Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' missing from menu.

Hi,
After updated to bridge CC the 'Tools > Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' has simply disappeared from the menu! Is there a plug in that I'm missing or is this something similar to how the Output module works, where you have to install the files manually?
Thank You

I uninstalled all Adobe products -> reboot -> reinstall; which didn't work.
So I had to uninstall all Adobe products again, then use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner, reboot & reinstall everything again; then it finally worked.
This seems to be a regular thing since the introduction of Adobe CC, almost every new update or new versions breaks functionality & requires a complete uninstall -> reinstall process.

Photoshop CS4 missing files after uninstall of CS3

I upgraded the Adobe Creative Suite CS3.3 Design Premium today to CS4 on my MacPro. The upgrade went smoothly. After using the Adobe uninstaller for CS3 and starting Photoshop CS4, an error message appeared stating that required support files were missing, re-install Photoshop CS4. After a second Photoshop CS4 installation all is well.
Apparently the CS3 Design Premium uninstaller is removing a file required for CS4 also.
This is not an isolated incident, as it happened again when installing CS4 on my MacBook Pro. I have also read of similar incidents in other forums. It seems to affect only Photoshop CS4.

As I no longer require CS3 on my Mac after upgrading to CS4 and waiting for the required plugins to be available I have successfully uninstalled CS3 using the Adobe CS3 Creative Suite uninstaller.
NOTE: please make a copy of the 'Adobe Unit Types.osax' found Macintosh HD/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax
At home did this without making a backup of the 'Adobe Unit Types.osax', so when I launched Photoshop CS4 it suffered from the "Error: "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder.."
At work I did this with making a copy of 'Adobe Unit Types.osax', place it back after the uninstall of CS3... and presto so far so good.
for the 'Error: "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder... are missing' when you start Photoshop CS4 (Mac OS)" read here:

Adobe Photoshop CC missing files in application support folder

Photoshop CC was installed and working perfectly. In order to free up hard drive space, I uninstalled Photoshop CS4.
Now every time I open Photoshop CC (or Photoshop CS 5.1) a warning message appears saying: One or more files in the Adobe application Support folder necessary to run Photoshop are missing. Reinstall Photoshop.
Dispite the warning, I click OK and Photoshop CC opens and runs fine.
I do not want to reinstall any old versions of Photoshop. So how do I get rid of the warning message?
Thanks,
Peter

re-install ps cs 5.1.

My Photoshop Elements does not start any more. It gives response "Photoshop elements cannot start or continue because of missing file(s). Please reinstall." How do I get the installing file again (I bought it via internet the first time december 2013?)

Did you download the Basic/Free version?
I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?
What is your Warranty and Return Policy?
You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.
All sales are final and there are no refunds.
Isn't this a bit harsh? Naah I actually prefer to solve problems, and if I offer refunds, people give up too easily. If I can't solve your problem after you send a few Problem Reports (see above), I'm happy to give a refund.

Did you unzip the entire contents of the download zip file onto your hard drive before running the installer? You need to do that.
I have installed it myself and it went in just fine.

Tools/Photoshop/Batch no longer available after updating Bridge. Is there a missing file?

I have just updated all my cc apps, Photoshop, Bridge etc. Being able to batch process files from Bridge is no longer a visible option. Can anyone advise about possible missing files that might enable this?

Same problem here:
Bridge batch problem after Photoshop cc 2014 update
I recently updated all my adobe cc products to the 2014 version. The previous cc version is still on my pc (Windows 7 professional)
I’ve come across 2 problems since that update:
All the actions I’ve made in the regular cc version are gone in de updated version. I tried to recover the actions by clicking load actions in the actions panel, and then went searching for them in the actions folder (…\Adobe Photoshop CC\Presets\Actions) of the cc version, but photoshop cc 2014 apparently couldn’t find a compatible file. So, is there a way to import those actions to the cc 2014 version or do I have to remake all those actions?
I’ve made a new action in Photoshop cc 2014 and tried to batch several images with that action in Bridge. When the cc 2014 is open (or not) a message appears in that version of photoshop stating that photoshop cc is required for this command and that I should close this version and try again. When I open the photoshop cc version before I click on batch in Bridge nothing happens at all.
Any solutions for this problem?

Photoshop elements 11and finding missing files

I had a problem with an account on my photoshop so had to open a new account on my imac. I had spent quite a bit of time editing my Alaska pictures and somehow now they wont let me move them to my new downloaded photoshop. it says they are missing files and if I try to find them it will search forever and not find them.. is there another way to get them to my other photoshop or even if i could put them on my external hard drive. that is where the problem started in my old account is when I bought that. I kept getting the beach ball spinning and couldnt get it to stop so apple just suggested I open a new account.

I am sorry: There was a word misprint that could be confusing. Please ignore my previous post. Here is the corrected version:
The Missing Files thing is very difficult. I found a pretty easy way around it.
My newest photos are in a folder (windows folder) called 2013. I have other folders, such as 1990s, 2000-5, etc. The trick is to make a new empty folder called Temp, in the same location as your other folders. For me, this temp folder, and those other folders, are located within a folder called Adobe, which is within another folder called "my pictures". I import all new photos into this temp folder. Then I add them to the catalog by selecting File, and choosing search and finding the temp folder. Then I choose "get media" which seals the deal.
When you choose Get Media, the organizer only displays the new photos you've just added to the catolog. Once you see these new photos, immediately add them to any albums within photoshop. The next thing I do is move the photos to a folder where you really want them, say 2013 for example. This gets them out of the temp folder. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS WITHIN PHOTOSHOP ITSELF--IF YOU MOVE PICTURES THE TRADITIONAL WAY FROM FOLDER TO FOLDER, THIS CONFUSES THE ORGANIZER. On a windows version of photoshop, I highlight these photos within photoshop and choose file/move on the organizer menu and select the folder. This moves all of the photos from the temp folder into the folder that you really want them to go into. You're done.
I've done this hundreds of times with no missing files problem until yesterday! A glitch happened, whereby I chose to delete the photos and selected the option to also delete them from the temp folder. When I tried to back up elements, it warned me that there were missing files. Since they were originally in the temp folder, I knew where to look. The beauty of the temp folder is that if you ever get the "missing files" notification, it will be easy to find them. If you hadn't used a temp folder and instead had thrown the pics in a folder with a thousand other shots, it would be really tough to find them.
Since I knew the temp folder was involved in all this, here's how I found the "missing files": I used the "my folders" area of photoshop, which is directly under the albums and has a yellow icon. I clicked onto the arrow to the left of this folder, found the temp folder, and all of the missing pictures were suddenly seen in my organizer. However, I knew that the temp folder on my computer was empty. This was confusing to me. Why would the organizer think these photos were in the temp folder, when they were actually in my recycle bin? I clicked on all of the photos that were supposedly in the temp folder, even though I knew they weren't there. Clicking highlighted the photos in blue. Then I right clicked and chose "delete from catalog". Problem solved. No more missing files.
All of this stuff took me 8 hours to figure out on my own. I hope I save you some time.

Photoshop Elemments 10 Datei 2 von 2 (1,2 MB,) LS15.exe - Missing File Archive. To be able to extract PE-10 all parts must be in the same folder. Download allparts. ??

Hallo,
Nachdem ich Teil 1 von PE-10 heruntergeladen hatte, wurde noch PE_10_LS.exe zum Herunterladen angeboten. Das kann aber nicht durchgeführt werden, weil, lt. Fehlermeldung, der Datei-Achivteil fehlt. Um PE-10 extrahieren zu können müssen alle Teile im selben Ordner sich befinden. Zuerst sollen alle Teile heruntergeladen werden.
Grüße, Michael

Hallo Kartikay Sharma,
Solche Missverständnisse mit integrierten Ordnern können passieren:
dasProblem ist gelöst!
Bei den Ordnern die sich nach der Ausführung von LS15.7z gebildet hatten, hatte ich LS15.exe in den extrahierten Ordner „PhotoshopElements_10_LS15“ abgelegt. Danach erst zum Ordner mit dem Zip-File und dem extrahierten Ordner.
Besten Dank für den Hinweis
