Moving offline media back online

I have PSE 4.0, on an HP running Windows XP. My question is, I have a lot of photos stored offline on CDs that are already linked in my catalog (I originally used PSE to move them offline). Is there any way I can bring these files back online without opening each one in the editor?
Thanks!

Heather,
Do you by any chance have the "Organize Your Photos with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3" book by Michael Slater? It does apply to your version 4 also.
I think that page 37 of that book has the information you want -
"If you want to later convert offline photos to online by copying them to the hard disk, use the Move Files function"
If you have the book, there is more information on pages 61-62 about the Organizer File > Move command. If you don't have the book, I suggest that you look in the PSE 4 Help.
Then I would choose a few insignificant photo files to check your results before moving larger groups of photos.

STILL need to go Offline and back Online to obtain mail

OK, several weeks later, and I have (1) used the OS X utility programs to check permissions, etc; (2) rebuilt my mailboxes; (3) deleted most stored e-mails; (5) run software update; and (?) tried other things that don't come to mind right this second, but STILL, my Mail frequently needs to be taken Offline, and then back Online for messages to appear. Lots of my mail comes from AOL accounts, but some from Apple Mail, and both suffer from this problem.
Can anyone suggest something else I can try to get e-mails automatically and consistently?
Steven

When you say "minimum," do you mean NOT 1 minute? Recently, I changed it to 5 minutes from one, without resolving the problem.
The problem I am trying to describe/diagnose was discussed several weeks ago. I should send myself some non-AOL mails to make sure the problem is not AOL specific (most of my discussion group e-mails come via an aol account)...
Would changing the pop port and/or imap port affect this issue?

Reconnecting offline media issues after moving files

Hi I am having a bit of a headache with offline media files in final cut. Our data requirements have recently outgrown the internal drives on our mac pro so we have switched to keeping all of our footage/projects etc on an external network raid (freenas). After moving all the footage over to the new drive final cut understandably asks to reconnect media so I point it in the direction of the new location and click search.... It searches through but finds nothing so I hit locate and manually point it to one of the offline files. It finds maybe 2or3 (out of over 2500) of the files then asks to locate more and so on. I spent an afternoon reconnecting all the offline media and all was fine until today when half the files showed as offline as final cut decided to start looking for them in their old location and not the new location I specified previously so I had to spend hours reconnecting them manually a few at a time again.
I'm worried that I would needto make a quick change to the edit and when I open a project final cut has a tantrum and says stuff is offline then won't let me quickly reconnect everything at once, instead making me do it one or two clips at a time
Does anyone know why it's doing this and what I need to do to make it stop???
Many thanks in advance!

I hate to say 'you built this house' but you might have. Although FCP's media manager has been crap since it came into being in v2... it still is the best way to move media around. BUT - THAT said, if you at least kept the CAPTURE SCRATCH folders intact it shouldn't have been that much of a problem to get stuff loaded back in.
I'd say... keep plugging away, bit by bit.
Good luck,

When I open Mail, all accounts are offline. It takes time to get them back online. This is an on-going problem that has been chronic and it has finally gotten me "inspired" to ask the Community

When I open Mail, all accounts appear offline. I have to get back "online" before mail is delivered or sent. Hassle. Any Ideas??

I was having this same issue all week. I'm also using 10.8.5 It was driving me crazy. I think I found a solution. I downloaded and installed the latest security update from Apple in the App Store. I have not had a reoccurance since (?). Maybe that will help you as well.

I updated my iMac, and my mail no longer works. It says all of my accounts are "offline". Safari is fine. How do I get my accounts back online?

I updated my iMac and now my Mail does not work. It says all of my accounts are"offline". Safari is fine. How do I get my accounts back online?

Hello there, Lynn.
The following Knowledge Base article explains and offers up some troubleshooting recommendations for issues with email acounts showing offline on Mac Mail:
Mail (Mavericks): If a mailbox is offline
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14925
Lightning bolt icons next to mailboxes in the Mail sidebar identify accounts that are offline.
To take an account online, click the lightning bolt icon. Or choose Mailbox > Online Status > Take [account name] Online, or Mailbox > Take All Accounts Online.
If you can’t take an account online, make sure you’re connected to the Internet. If a warning icon appears after the account name, click it for more information.
Use Connection Doctor
Some mailbox names can appear dimmed if you don’t have permission to access them, such as “public” mailboxes on a server, or if the mail server is unavailable.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

TS2774 on my iphone, in Safari(not limited to) I get the message unable to connect to server,now the message says the internet is offline, how do I get it back online?

On my Iphone4 3G, which I have upgraded to 6.0, and, have had many issues but this is my main concern: Everytime I go to Safari (or dif. sites) I get msge that reads "cannot connect to server", today it upgraded to "that msge plus this "the internet is offline". How do I get it back online?

Wi-Fi, Cellular Data, or both?
Do you actually pay for a data plan from your carrier?
Are you in an area with a Wi-Fi hot spot to connect to?

TS1307 my "outgoing Mail server is offline and I can't get it back online

I can send and receive emails from my iphone, ipad and online mac account, but can not send emails on my mail from my macbook, it stopped working suddenly a few weeks ago and says all my outgoing smtp's are offline, how do i get them back online?

Thanks so much for the quick response.
I did repair permissions and tried Mail again, then decided to double check the Mail Prefs of my MB Pro (where Mail works fine) and the iMac (G5 I think?). And do I feel stupid: the outgoing mail server on the iMac was smtp.mac.com whereas the server on the MB Pro was smtp.me.com! So I changed that and now Mail can be sent from the iMac.
Thanks so much, I love these forums. Whenever I have a problem, I check the forums first!

I was connecting on my ipad to Find my ipad with the account of my sister (somebody stole her ipad..) and her ipad was obviously offline. Then i removed her device from the list (i know itd reappear on the list if it comes back online),but can i readd it?

Question above

i didnt mean to remove it, i did it unintentionally.
If the offline device is removed do i receive emails if it comes back online?
p.s.: still no answers to how i have to put the offline device back on the list of my devices?!?

Getting message that I am offline. Don't want to reset and lose extensions. How do I go back online?

Using version 27.0.1and the last few days I get messages that I am working offline. I think that I clicked the "work offline" instead of the "exit" in the file drop down menu. Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. How do I get back "online"?

Does "Firefox > Web Developer > Work Offline" have a check-mark?
You need to make the menu bar visible if you want to check this in the File menu.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden Menu bar.

HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer --reverts to offline mode and can't get back online

What is the quickest, easiest way to get the printer back online? There seems to be no way to get it back online. I'm using Windows Vista OS. Printer is running on wireless network (2wire).
Appreciate a quick resolution.
Thanks!

Honestly, if you want to kill this problem quickly, go buy a standard router (Linksys, Netgear, etc) and install it "on top" of your 2wire, connecting all devices to the new router.
DSL routers are notorious for connection and reliability problems.

How can ical items entered offline be updated on icloud when back online?

My workplace blocks iCloud (and the app store). When I enter or modify ical events they do not update when I am back online at home. Refresh was of no help. I had to edit the items for them to appear on other devices. Is there a way around this?

Here is what I did.
I got a message and forgot I still have til June... so like a fool I switched over online.
All I see is a new type of calendar. OK no biggie it has my data. But now the one on my MBP won't sync... with the phone, and the one on my iPhone was erased totally.. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I managed to reset the mail using the new server settings but that wasn't as important as the CALENDAR!!!
Also I don't DARE upgrade my iPhone (I can't anyway until I do 10.7 on the MBP but I have to make sure PS works on that first) because it has all my contacts and phone numbers, which are NOT the same as my groups of emails on my MBP...
The Contact book and Calendar data from the MBP are OK, they are up on iCloud and also saved as files on my HD in .ics, .icbu, .vfc and .abbu data.
I would upgrade my iPhone but I just don't get why it has to be via iTunes... it is SOOO confusing.

Mapping to offline media

I copied a project from one computer to another. All the media is contained is several subdirectories under a main project directory. When the project is opened on the new computer all the media appears under Project Assets, but it is all offline. When the project is first opened it prompts for the location of the first image in the timeline. However, there are about 300 images in the video, so would like to avoid mapping to them individually if possible. Is there a command that will search for and map all the media in its new location?

Joe,
Welcome to the forum.
ATR has given you some viable options.
The PrE Project file (PREL), uses absolute Paths to link to the media in the Project. If any part of that absolute Path is changed, or missing, then PrE cannot follow those links. When you moved things to the second computer, it is very likely that the absolute Paths were broken, and most likely as drive letters changed.
One can duplicate the folder scheme in the second computer, if it has a drive letter available, that matches that on the first computer. As an example, if the media was on the D:\ on the first computer, but now are on the C:\ of the second computer, Moving those media files, in their exact folder structure to D:\, would likely solve the issue. If this is not a possibility, then I recommend letting PrE do the relinking. It will do this, for all media assets in each folder, once the first one has been located. This will need to be repeated for each media asset folder, but otherwise is automatic for ALL used media assets in THAT folder. This article on "Where is File ___ ?" goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4598705#4598705 Also see this article on Media Offline: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3561281#3561281
I often migrate Projects between computers, and for that task, I use external FW-800 (IEEE-1394b) HDD's. I first set the drive letter of each of those external HDD's to be the exact same, in the OS of every computer, that will work on that Project. Then, when I Import my media, usually Copies of the files, in each folder, into the Project, the absolute Path to that media is the same, including the drive letter. This article goes into more detail on using external HDD's: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4542396#4542396 This setup would only be useful to you, at the very beginning of a Project, and not once media assets have been Imported into the Project from a previous absolute Path. Also, this article on Folder Setup might be useful for the next Project: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4028231#4028231
I think that the easiest method to get your Project easily from one computer, to another, would be ATR's recommendation to go back to the Project on the first computer, and use the Project Archiver, to Copy that Project and all media assets, to an external HDD (remember to set its drive letter in the OS of both computers, before you start). Then, the links via the absolute Paths will be the same, and you should not get any Media Offline, or the "Where is file ____ ?"
Good luck, and please report your progress,

Offline media not really offline - resetting thumbnail?

So my external HD was inadvertantly turned off while in FCP and all my media went off line. Ouch. The HD came back online w/out a problem and I was able to reconnect the media. However, a number of the clips are showing their thumbnail in the timeline with that red and black screen telling me the media is offline, even tho it's not and it plays fine.
Any idea how to refresh those thumbnails?
Thanks!

Ok, that almost worked... but I think you may have meant the "Thumbnail Cache Files" - cause deleted the waveform cache files contents didn't seem to have any effect but deleting the "Thumbnail Cache Files" worked like a charm.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
