Missing mediadatabase.db3 on iMac
Hello, I am hoping someone may be able to help me! I recently installed some PSE actions and deleted my mediadatabase.db3. I reopned PSE and everything loaded correctly and is working great. However, it does not seem to have rebuilt. I have a few more actions I forgot to install and have installed them all the way up to deleted the file, which has not regenerated as it usually does. Obviously my new actions are not showing up in PSE. The only .db3 file on my system is the Thumbdatabase. I'm not sure what to do.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I see all of my previous actions in my effects and contents panel when PSE is open. I am not positive that is what you are referring to. When I go into my en_US my only options are: application swfs, creation graphics, messaging pods, photo creations, service-menus.dat, welcome scr pods & workflow panels. There is no longer a mediadata file since I deleted it after my last action install.

continued...I can't find the MediaDataBase.db3 file in Locales>en_us. So I can't access my actions from Florabella...Help?
That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

Bought new iMac & moved (or thought I had) all of my music from the old PC to the new iMac. Have discovered several hundred songs are orphaned on old PC; I can "see" them with both machines turned on & iTunes open. "Missing" songs show in iMac itunes Shared folder. How do I move them all so I can then & retire the old PC?
From things you are saying, such as "shared folder" and having both machines on, it doesn't sound to me like you truly moved the whole iTunes collection.

do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

Where is the MediaDatabase.db3 file with Windows 8.1?
I received a suggested solution to my October Runtime error question, but it pertained only to Windows XP, Vista and 7. I have version 8.1
I cannot find a file named MediaDatabase.db3 in the Photoshop Elements 11 program. I only see a file named MediaIO and do not want to mess with that for fear I would screw up something important.
There seem to be a number of people who have sudden Runtime errors. Hopefully someone can help me and I thank you in advance.I am having trouble finding my MediaDatabase.db3 file as well. I am able to get to the folder where it should be, but it isn't there! Have you tried making hidden folders visible?

Rebuild of mediadatabase.db3 not automatic; how to force rebuild?
I had posted earlier (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/570503?tstart=0) regarding adding layer masks to PSE 6 and was successful on my laptop but when I repeated the process on my desktop mac, the auto rebuild of this file (mediadatabase.db3) doesn't occur. Is there some means for me to force it to occur?
According to the instructions, it should be rebuilt upon restarting PSE6 after adding the layer mask .atn and .png files.Finally, success! When you run the Photoshop Setup app, you are given two options as in the 1st screenshot below.
My problem was because I chose the 1st option (thinking that choosing "Reinstall" would be an 'uninstall & reinstall' function) which seemed to maintain the mediadatabase.db3 file even though I had removed it manually to trash & emptied trash. However, when I chose option 2 (next screenshot), this removed PSE6.
Then, run the Setup app again and this time it rebuilds the proper mediadatabase.db3 file. Once this succeeded, I could then add the Layer Mask.atn and .png files to the Photo Creations-->photo effects file, remove mediadatabase.db3 file, re-launch PSE6 and finally I have PSE6 up and running with the layer mask functionality. Phew! Hopefully, patsimcl will be watching this post.
Thanks for everyone's help. -
I am missing something in integrating iMac w/ iCloud. Plz help.
I am trying to get Photo Stream up and running on my iMac, iPhone, and iPad, but have run into trouble. I have upgraded iPhoto to 9.2. I have 10.7.3. I am in the Cloud (I have the email, contacts, Find my Phone, calendar, and iWork icons). I go to the iMac setup step that starts with the Photo Stream splash screen that says "No, Thanks. Turn on Photo Stream".
I click "Turn on Photo Stream" and get the iCloud splash screen that has the "Move to iCloud" button.
I click on that and get the Find My Phone map and box where I enter in my password. I enter that and get the grey textured screen that says to use the app, go to iCloud.com
I click "Go to iCloud.com" and see the light blue map and am told to enter my password AGAIN. I do and my devices are located (this wasn't the goal, as I HAVE my devices).
I click on the cloud next to "My Devices" and I see my 5 icons (mail, contacts, calendar, find my phone, and iWork), but no sunflower photo stream icon.

I went to Sys Pref. > iCloud.
Sys. Pref. changes from the Show All view to the iCloud splash IN Sys. Pref. and has the button "Move to iCloud", which I pushed.
I so appreciate your help, Winston Churchill, and yours, Csound 1, but as I have copied above, I HAVE tried that. Pardon, my frustration at this point, but I have tried every way to H*l! I can see this calls for a phone chat. Thanks anyway. -

Hi,
Just got new iMac. Great! Using new software that came with it. No iPhoto on my hard drive. Missing. What am I supposed to have? And since I don't have it, how can I get it? I don't see any download for iPhoto. What version should I have with my new iMac? Thanks.
EdThanks for your prompt answer. I have looked through the applications folder and the rest of the hard drive. I have done a search with spotlight but there is no iPhoto. I have contacted the dealer and will be contacted the individual there that helped set up the transfer of data and applications from my failed iMac G5.
My guess is that they somehow deleted iPhoto in this process
In the booklet that is titled "Everything Mac" it shows iPhoto under iLife.
That is correct
reinstall iPhoto - go to your receipts folder ("Your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) and remove any iPhoto receipts and reinstall from the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only
For more information click here for the MacWorld article on reinstalling OS X applications.
I have used the Software update to download and install all updates that were listed. Nothing there to update iPhoto.
If there is no iPhoto you can not update iPhoto - iPhoto (and iLife) are not available from downloads - they must be installed from the original disks as noted above and in my first answer -
Installion missing components on Intel iMac
Although the Shockwave installation prompt says the "Software
successfully installed," when I access my favorite puzzle site, I
get popups saying "Missing Shockave Decompression XTRA," followed
by "Shockwave Error: Error playing Director movie."
I have a new Intel-based iMac and feel that I'm caught
between a rock and a hard place.
I am concerned that no one from Adobe seems interested in
answering the questions posted since many of them have languished
without replies. They certainlly will not answer Shockwave
quesitons over the phone. If anyone out there has suggestions, I
will appreciate receiving them.

Missing video effects for iMac g5 w/ external iSight cam
I have a G5 iMac with an external iSight camera and I'm wondering why I do not have the option for video effects while using photo booth and iChat. My wife's macbook does include video effects, so my first bet is that Apple decided not to give me the option with my OS upgrade. Anyone have a way to remedy this without spending over 2K again?
DP, he has Photo Booth and Front Row, its the effects in iChat that he can't use, and I do think that's an intel function.

IDVD missing on new purchased iMac 21"
Hello;
is this normal that the iDVD software is not installed on a iMac 21" OS X Lion?
Can i get it through support call? Or is this purchasable option?
Or is there any other software available to burn iMovie content using the builtin DVD writer?
The dvd should be able to play in standard dvd player.
with kind regardsMake a couple of phone calls.
iDVD is a “Must Have". (Yes, it should be included.)
Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.
800-692-7753
800-275-2273
If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.
Most people report that by asking here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
or here: http://www.apple.com/contact/
they got a free copy of iDVD.
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

Where is the MediaDatabase.db3 file in Photoshop Elements 10 for Mac?
I deleted an effect by accident and need to get it back. I have read that I need to delete the "MediaDatabse.db3" file and restart PE. I have not seen directions to the location of this file for version 10. Should I reset the preferences first? How (for a Mac)?
