More Missing Files

I am using 10.4.1 Tiger on a Mac Pro.  When using Bridge I got in the habit of moving files from storage on my internal or external drives onto my desktop-main drive  to work on them and then back into storage on the internal HD when I was thru.  I thought I would be able to do the same with LR2, or LR would be able to actually track the move but that doesn't seem to be the case. Even when I move the files back onto the main drive, LR still can't find them.
This is a 2 part question.
1.  Is there anything I can do to "find" these files and reopen them with all my "developments" intact
2.  If I moved the files from my main HD to an internal HD by exporting them via LR and then deleted the files on the main HD, would I then be able to export them back to the main HD to upload to my online gallery or work on them again?
Sorry! I accidently posted this in LR SDK as well.

Right click (ctrl-click) on the folder or image in LR and then locate the files wherever you have moved them. Changes you have made to images are retained in the LRcat file and not in the image files themselves, unless you choose to write the changes as xmp data to the images. In this case the changes will be recorded in the headers of most file types, except for proprietary RAW formats where the data will be written as sidecar files.
LR is a database and needs to be told where files are. If you move them outside of LR you have to tell LR this.
You can always use LR itself to move your files around and then you won't need to do this. However for large amounts of files, LR will be significantly slower than using the OS. If you keep the folder structure the same as it was in LR it will make it a lot quicker to relocate. So if you do intend to move files around outside of LR and wish to make changes to folder structures and names, do this first in LR and then move the whole lot in the OS. You then only need to update the location of the highest level folder for LR to update everything.
It is also a good idea to write any changes to xmp (and if these are done as sidecar files make sure you move them along with the RAW file) before making any moves, just in case.

  • MISSING FILES???   PSE 8

    I am in the process of moving from one (older) computer to another (newer faster) computer. I tried to open a saved project from the newer computer via shared netwoark access to the project saved on the older PC. The problem I am having is at when I open the project its asks me to open each picture and or video clip in the assemlbed project. Why is it opening up this way when It can open the entire project on the older Pwithout any prompts to locate missing files (media clips and videos). What should I open to ensure the software is able to open all pieces and parts I used to make the project? When using the older PC I am able to open the project without any issues.  What files do I need to move over to the new PC in order to open and edit existing projects on the old PC?
    I hope I explained this clear enough. Thanks for any help on this issue

    PrE uses absolute Paths in the links to Assets. When the Paths change (could be a drive letter, the files' names, etc.) then the links are broken.
    PrE is asking for help. The Paths are not correct any longer, so it cannot Open the Project with the Assets. It's pretty smart though, in that if you help it find the first missing file in a folder, it will search that folder for any more missing files. If the files were Moved to different folders, one will need to repeat the Find process for each of those folders.
    Now, PrE does not like to work from networked drives, even Mapped network drives. It will work much better, if you move the Assets to either an internal, or external HDD.
    Do not let PrE Offline the Media, and then do a Save for the Project, as you will overwrite that PREL file, and then you will need to manually relink those Assets, one at a time, and that can be tedious, as PrE will no longer do the folder search for others - it's one at a time. Instead, do a Save_As, so you can go back to that original Project.
    This ARTICLE will give you more info on the PREL, what it contains, and how the various Save options differ.
    Good luck,

  • 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.

  • Missing files, but none have an "!" next to it.

    Every time I find a missing file, I get a message saying I have 3 more missing files, but none in my Library have an "!" next to it.  The message is driving me nuts. How can I find these three files?

    The ! in iTunes means that iTunes can't find the actual music file. See:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    If necessary, you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Need help: Itunes cannot locate multiple missing files after renaming

    All of music had strange names after transfering them to a new computer. I decided to use a program to rename all of them using a renaming program that renamed all of my music files based on their ID3 tags (Title, artist, etc).
    Well now I went to Itunes and it cant find the any of the files (figured that), so I find one and Itunes asks if it should find more missing files, and hit yes, but it doesn't find any of the other newly renamed files. Is there anything I can do short of doing this for each individual file? Is there a way I can change Itune search parameters for finding missing files? Thanks

    This is my standard post on the missing files thing...
    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    I sort of assumed the third party tool wouldn't have put things in an iTunes standard form which is why I offered my scrupt at the outset. If you can explain how they are organised I might be able to tweak up the script to work for your layout too.

  • Spotlight Indexing, Systemstats, Missing File, All After Mavericks Upgrade

    Dear Mac Support Communities,
    The upgrade to OS X 10.9.4 has crippled my computer.
    My main question is: should I reformat, or should I wait for a patch to come out to solve whatever is wrong with Mavericks? I explain below.
    Spotlight is constantly indexing. The mdworker is all over the place on the Activity Monitor—4% and then it explodes to 85% of CPU usage. Systemstats kicks in randomly (connected to spotlight perhaps?) and eats up 90% of my CPU and 3gigs of RAM. Time Machine takes AGES to backup.
    I have not been able to stop Spotlight's endless indexing. I have moved my hard drive and my Time Machine backup into the 'private' filter in 'Spotlight Preferences.' I have also tried the "sudo mdutil -a -i off" trick to stop indexing altogether. But Spotlight Indexing goes "off" and then automatically turns "on" in Terminal. Spotlight carries on, and the computer performance is choppy.
    I've run disk repair. First, I repaired permissions. Then I verified and attempted to repair the the hard drive. There is a missing file apparently, and I therefore must reformat. This is very first issue I've ever had with the hard drive since I bought the computer. Considering how awful Mavericks has been—I have been reading other Support Communities posts—I'm nervous about something going wrong, or that all these problems will persist after the reformat.
    All of this has occurred three days after my upgrade to to OS X 10.9.4. I have heard of numerous people having problems with Mavericks. All similar problems concerning missing files, haywire spotlight, systemstats devouring any remaining CPU power and memory space, and slow Time Machine back-ups.
    Anyone with the same problems? Care to theorize some solutions?
    I have a late 2008, 15inch MacBook Pro., 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, running OS X 10.9.4 (13E28).
    Cheers! I appreciate the help.

    Older Macs have more troubles under Mavericks. Considering the age of your Mac, it's not uncommon to start have hardware issues like drive failure.
    To repair the drive you must boot from the Recovery Drive.
    Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
    Run Repair Drive and Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in Recovery.***
    Next Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs following directions here This will serve two purposes. It will reset YOUR permissions. Not the same as Disk Utility reset permissions and it will cause Spotlight to re-index your drive when restarting.
    Restart
    Download and run the combo updater to refresh your OS X files.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1755
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.3 to 10.9.4. If somehow the 10.9.3 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.3 and 10.9.4 it will still be stale after the delta update.
    ***If Disk Utility is unable to repair you will have to copy your data to an external drive first. Reformatting will erase the drive. You should have a backup regardless, if your data is important to you. Just like a seat belt and an air bag protect you in different ways when driving, you need both Time Machine and a clone for full protection. If you don't have an external drive for backup, I can give you some suggestions to get you started.
    Both of these applications can be used to create a clone.

  • How to fix 'missing files' in Lightroom 4? [was: adobe lightroom 4]

    Hi,
    I have the scenario whereby all the images, I assumed, on my hard drive were as I imported to my  catalogue.  but it now appears that all of my images, are showing as previews but some are showing as 'missing files'.  Attempts to reconnect are proving futile as the usual click on and find previous file location location point me to the 'c' drive with a request for the file name.  On doing this, the 'C' drive doesn't appear to the have file name I require.  Have I in-advertately scrubbed something?  I have a lot of images of my grandkids, some of which I can delete but there is one particular image of my premature born grandaughter in the hospital I really need to keep.
    I can't do any saving, moving of files whilst these question marks are in place, can someone help as this software, is not as user friendly as I first assumed.  All I want is a simple walk thru explanation of saving images from a camera and sorting of existing HD files,(many from past shoots on different cameras), to enable me to sort into some kind of format.
    Would it be a good idea to completely scrub all of my images from the 'C' hard drive, (I have a backup on my external deskstop drive), and start afresh?
    I have a external drive connected to my laptop and all those images are showing ok with no missing file links.   It's only the laptop internal drive that is showing the problem.
    any help would be a bonus as the online youtbe video instructions don't answer my problem.

    Thanks Jim for your response,
    I will upgrade to 5.3

  • For all of you, who gets "missing file" error on syncing theirs photos

    I dont really knows any better way of correcting this error when deleting "iPod photo cache" -file doesn't help, but here is my answer to that. If somebody knows a better solution, plase tell it to all of us.
    I was getting an "unknown errorcode -39" and that "missing file" messages every time i try to sync my photos from my Windows 7 based computer to the iPad. It seems to me that there are something wrong on the iPed side but how to corrrect it (and i dont know anything on how apple works)?
    Just as i was gioing to give up, i realize that there must be two caches in sync, one for sender (for itunes) and one for a receiver (for example iPade) side. Both must be in sync whith themselfs and in a filesystem on their side. Easy part is on iTunes side, just delete the cache (thats because its contents can and will be recreated using the local filesystem information only).
    The other side (iPhone or iPad) is much more harder to do as there are not (or i dont have found it) any simple solution to do it. There are only one solution which i have found to be solve this problem (every time) and it is that you have to get a sync target to think that it is being sync on a different iTunes photo library (even when its empty). If this works, then you get a iTunes message saying that "are you sure?, as if you continue ALL FILES ARE DELETED when your are resynced on different photolibrary". That is just what we wanted. For myself it has worked every time, but it takes time, as you must resync it twice (once in an alien or differentt, and back to the original or updated photolibrary).
    Those who knows better, comments please?

    Part 2.
    Another thing that all Encore users ought to regularly offer up a daily prayer of thanks for is the PSD support for menus.
    Let me tell you a little story, all about how bloody awkward it
    i can
    be, again using Industry Standard "Flagship" applications.
    The little saga above about the additional _HL_LB image completely forgot to mention that there is a very nasty scaling issue awaiting the ignorant (like me).
    It doesn't scale the letterbox image automatically.
    SO, it's a case of as usual, preparing all Widescreen assets in anamorphic mode (create & design in PS using PAR correction, reshape image to Square Pixels)
    Duplicate the _HL for the _HL_LB image.
    Now, because of the rescaling issue, take this into PS, and resize the image to 720x360, then resize the
    i canvas
    to 720x480, making certain your background is white, as failure to do this will mean the Letterboxed SPHL are incorrectly scaled, although the button hotspots are in the right place.
    Aargh - if it was not for the "Phone A Friend" option, I would still be stuck on this.

  • Catalogs, Missing Files, and Question Marks for Beginners

    Hello, fellow non-power-users. I just wanted to post something here that I've learned with my travails and travels using LightRoom 3. In the past, Adobe has paid me to write for them, and I'm a professional writer. So why am I doing this for free? Because I wish to heck I'd understood this stuff before I dove into LR. Somehow, even with reading a book on the program, I didn't really get it.
    1) Most of the people who are kind enough to post and help on Adobe support and other forums on the Interwebs are power users of Lightroom. The great thing is, they often know what they're talking about. The bad thing is, many of them don't understand what it's like to be a non-power-user who really has no intention of becoming a power user. Be very, very careful before you try to take their advice about any large issue that might have serious consequences for your photos.
    2) LR has about forty million ways to do things, so it can be overwhelming, and you may also receive lots of contradictory information about how to accomplish stuff. If you're like me---not a professional photographer, more a refugee from the annoying land of iPhoto who just needs a *little* more power and customization---you may have trouble streamlining, figuring out the few things you actually need the program to do for you. Try some introductory videos and tutorials, even books, but don't expect them to solve your real problems with the program.
    3) Before you begin, grasp a few concepts:
         a. When you're working in LR, you're working with a "catalog." It shows you images of your photos, but these aren't really your photos. Your actual photos are *files* that live on your computer somewhere. Think of it as a slideshow projected on a wall: you can see the photos on the wall, but they aren't the "real photo." If you walked up to the wall and painted on the projection of a slide, the "real photo" file would not be changed. What LR does is keep track of those wall paintings for you, so if you wanted to print up a version of that slide and include your brush strokes, LR could do that for you. The catalog is a type of database.
         b. So where are those real photos, those files? Probably all over your computer in different places. You may want to consolidate them all in one place before you start using Lightroom. Here's why: once Lightroom thinks your "real photo" is in a certain place, it doesn't want you to move the "real photo" file. Say you have a photo called that someone sent in email. You put it on your desktop. Now you are tempted to drag-n-drop it onto Lightroom. DO NOT DO IT. Because someday, you might want that photo to not clutter up your desktop. You'll drag it to another folder on your hard drive, and BOOM, now Lightroom cannot find the photo.
    You can't work on the photo from within Lightroom. You can't print it. Lightroom will show a question mark ? on its wall-projector slide of your photo file. Often when someone moves files on their computer, it's not a single file on a desktop. It's a bunch of things they are trying to organize. Adobe knows this, which is why they have a "find missing photos" command. They know you are likely to screw this up. The command will show you those missing files. You have to select them individually by hand and search your computer for them to relink. You can spend a lot of time relinking photos. It sucks. Really sucks.
         c. If you do need to move stuff, Lightroom does let you do it, but only from within the program. So, open up LR, and look in the left-hand column for an item called "Folders." (You will be in Library mode to make this happen.) You can move your "real photo" files around from within this area. It is a clunky process and an enormous pain in the butt.
         d. Rant time: For some reason, one of the most sophisticated and long-lived software companies in history, the developers that completely changed the worlds of art, design, photography, and publishing--you got it, Adobe--have not been able to solve this problem and chase down your real photo files if you moved them from within the Finder, the way you normally move files on a computer. Go figure. (Irrelevant note: I've been using their products since Pagemaker 1.0 and it's sort of astonishing that they've never solved this problem, in LR or InDesign or elsewhere. It's like publishing a magazine using Quark in 1995, rushing to find the messed-up links before you hand-carry your ZIP drive over to the printer. Hee hee.)
    4) Decide whether you want to divide your photos into a few separate catalogs, or whether you want one enormous catalog ("master catalog"). Then try not to change your mind.
    Here is my story:
    Summary: I started with multiple catalogs and regret merging them into one.
    I hired a photographer/supposedly-LR guy to set up my LR and he suggested multiple catalogs, each easily saveable (catalog AND its photos) to a single external hard drive. I only made two: one for family photos, one for a big art project. Whenever I asked questions online about using LR, everyone told me to combine all photos into one big master catalog. Eventually I did, and I regret it. As a non-power-user, I screwed up something in the merging process, and ended up with a lot of question-mark, missing-photo problems, and a bunch of duplicate photos to boot. What a waste of time.
    If you're not a pro, you probably don't need a gigantic single database to deal with. If you're someone who uses Dropbox or another non-Adobe cloud method to store and work with your photos, and you don't have unlimited storage, you may find it way more convenient to have a few different catalogs.
    Power users probably don't screw up the process of merging all their catalogs into one. Power users have, from what I've read online, many complicated ways of making a big master catalog work the way they want, say for working on small numbers of files while traveling with a laptop, and then getting that work into the giant master catalog when they get back home to their studios.
    But I am not a power user, and if you're reading this, you probably aren't a power user either. So perhaps my experience will be useful to you.
    5) Paying for plug-ins to help with all this nonsense.
    You can buy plug-ins that help you do things this application should already do by itself. For example, "Duplicate Finder" goes through and finds all the photos that you've accidentally imported more than once into your catalog. Then you can painstakingly go through, figure out which copy to keep, and delete them. Often, these "duplicate" photos are not duplicates of your "real photo" file. But at some point you moved your "real photo" file while you were tidying up your computer files, and later accidentally re-imported that photo into your LR catalog. Since LR doesn't follow your files around when you move them from within your computer/Finder, LR thinks it's a whole brand-new file. It's like your projector is projecting three images on the wall at the same time. You have to figure out which one to keep, which one will save your wall-painting changes, etc. And it is a huge pain in the butt.
    Note that you can click a box when importing photos, a box that says "Do not import suspected duplicates." This can be really helpful for avoiding duplicates in the first place. It is not, however, infallible.
    OK, I hope this helps someone somewhere. I'm going to go back to the horribly time-consuming task of relinking files and trying to make my brain work the way LR's brain works.

    Glad to help!
    Another good thing to do from time to time is to boot from your install CD, then choose "Disk Utility", then do a check (and repair, if necessary) of your boot disk.
    You can't verify or fix a disk you've started from, thus the need to boot from a CD. You can boot from a second hard disk to do this test if it has MacOS on it.

  • Missing files Lightroom 3 and OSX 10.9.5 - how do I fix this? PLEASE

    Hi Mr. Jim. I am having very similar problems with my Lightroom 3. I recently updated my Mac OSX to 10.9.5 and since doing so my photos are missing or offline and I cannot import from any source, even my Canon. I found updates on Adobe that take it up to 5.6 but when I downloaded it, it seems to have downloaded the Lightroom 5 version. It requires a serial number to use so.... that does me no good. So then I downloaded the update 3.6 and opened it but it did not seem to apply itself to my Lightroom program because it still says Lightroom 3.2... I hope that all made sense. So I guess firstly, is there a way to upgrade it to another version without buying a serial number? If that cannot be done, could you or anyone else help walk me through my Lightroom issues?
    I tried your solution up to Ctrl+click Import but there is not a selection for "Update Folder Location". I made the 3 new folders and I am stuck at this part of your process.
    I currently have 5791 missing photos and I need help . I did read that the bridge between the files on the HD and the files in Lightroom get messed up if they are moved and you have to track them down but I cannot seem to do that because when I found some of the "lost" files the contents were all grey and un-clickable.
    Message was edited by: Geoff Walker
    I branched this off from another thread so it is more visible

    Please read this: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
    You do not want to be in the Import section of Lightroom, you want to be in the Library Module. You don't want "Update Folder Location", you want to ctrl-click on a Folder name (not in Import, but in the Library Module Folder Panel) and select "Find Missing Folder"
    You do not want to re-import photos that have already been imported, this is almost always a bad thing to do.

    I have just purchased a new Dell with Windows 7 64-bit and am trying to install the driver for my oldie-but-goodie OfficeJet 6310.  I am having the same problem with BlockSysUser as has appeared numerous times, and have tried all of the posted solutions.  I downloaded the driver from the website.
    I can get past the BlockSysUser issue by creating another folder called ".SourcePath.setup" and copying the BlockSysUser file that resides in Setup.  However, I then get a missing file hpzpnp.ice_suffix.exe, which I cannot find in any of the other folders.  It seems to be looking for this also in ".SourcePath.setup".
    I can install the printer using Windows, but then I don't have the other good stuff.
    This problem seems to have been around for YEARS!  Why hasn't it been resolved through driver updates?
    Help!

    Hi DForm,
    It's okay regarding the log file, I did some more research for you and found these steps:
    Turn off Anti-Virus (McAffee in this case). How to Disable McAfee Antivirus.
    Disabled the firewall. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
    Perform a L4 uninstall. (a) On the keyboard, hit the Windows and "R" key, then type %temp% and hit enter. b) Locate the correct folder starting with "7z" (the correct folder contains "Util" and "CCC" folders).  c) Open folder "Util". d) Open folder "CCC".  e) Please run the L4uninstall.bat. f) When the uninstall has completed, restart the computer).
    Disabled startup and non MS services. Disable startup items and non-Microsoft services.
    Restart the computer.
    Run setup as admin. How do I run an application once with a full administrator access token.
    Hope this solves the issue, and hope to hear from you soon!

  • 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 in catalog shared between Windows and Mac

    I switch between using Elements 12 on a Mac (Mountain Lion) and a Windows 7 machine while managing a common catalog.  The catalog and media are stored on an external USB 3.0 disk drive attached to whichever machine I am using to work.
    This setup works fine except that on computer #1, the Organizer “loses” media files computer #2 has worked with, and vice versa.  The problem seems to be in the way Elements stores the media file location.
    Example:
    My external catalog and media drive is named “JS” and assigned drive letter G: on the Windows machine.
    File “IMG_0310.JPG” is stored in directory “2007 08 18”.
    On the Windows machine the location seen in the Elements Organizer Information panel is “G:\2007 08 18\”.
    Using the Mac, Elements reports the file as missing, finds it, and changes the file location to “\Volumes\JS\2007 0818\”.
    Returning to the Windows machine, the problem repeats itself and corrects the file location to use Windows-style path names.
    This wouldn’t be so bad if Elements was faster reattaching missing files, but the search for the first few reconnects takes a very long time and the whole process grows longer the more work I did on the other machine.   This is a major annoyance and time drain.
    Elements documentation promotes the use of an external drive for sharing.  Someone else must have run into this same problem.  Is there a way to configure Elements to overcome the file location problem?
    Thanks!
    [edit]
    I realize PSE 12 is new and many are still on PSE 11.  Is anyone using PSE 11 experiencing this issue?

    Thank you for the response!
    Looking at volume_table there are indeed two entries for the external drive (rows 3 and 5):
    The Windows entry on row 3 shows the correct volume serial number in decimal as assigned when the drive was formatted.  The hex version is 7A85-0647.  The Mac entry on row 5 shows a serial number that doesn't make sense from a Windows or Mac perspective.
    This is interesting but I'm not sure what to do with this information.  It may not be a bug.  It would make sense from a development viewpoint to use the serial number to uniquely identify the drive and have separate entries for each OS tied together by that serial number, allowing the drive path to differ by OS.  Although, in this case the serial numbers do not match.  Maybe the Mac and Windows versions of PSE 12 are retrieving two different serial numbers and therefore do not see the drive as the being the same, which would be a bug.
