You have not given us enough information to help you.
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
For Premiere Elements to take full advantage of your computer resources it needs to be a version that runs as a 64 bit application in a 64 bit system. If you have Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit that will be the case. If you have Premiere Elements 11 or 12 on Mac 64 bit, that will be the case.
All others, Premiere Elements will be a 32 bit application running as 32 bit in a 32 bit computer operating system OR a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of a 64 bit system. Key thought here is that, 32 bit system has maximum supported installed RAM = 4 GB and 3 GB or less of that are available.
Please fill in the necessary details so that we can go from generalizations to what you actually have.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcude synced media like apps and music. Those items should be in your iTunes library.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • My ipod tell me that has 65  mb memory but when I'm about to sync music it's like there's no memory and don't use that 65mb so I had to delete music... What's wrong?

    65mb is very little space.
    It is likely that you were trying to sync more than would fit on the iPod.

  • Premiere Elements 9 - "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements....

    When I start up a new project in Premiere Elements 9, the only thing that comes up is the gray screen.  When I try to open any existing project, I get the following message:
    "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
    I have tried all of the suggestions on this website and still, nothing works.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    First question that comes to mind is "Is this a never worked before type issue or it worked before but not now type issue?"
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9 running on? Do you have the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Update installed? And, the typical drill questions, do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed and are you working from a User Account with Administrative Priviledges?
    Since Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is a 32 bit application, we would revisit the question of your computer resources...processor, installed/available RAM, free hard drive space? Is your computer optimized...defragmented, video and audio card drivers up to date, pile ups preview files and conformed video and audio files cleaned out? Scratch Disks directed to save location with enough free space to receive them?
    Have you checked to make sure that antivirus and firewalls are not contributing to or causing the issue?
    Another thought...are you running a dual (or more) monitor setup with your current video card?
    Please review and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements 9 - "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements..(2)

    Hi,
    I have the exact same problem as described here but the solution proposed here didn't work:
    Premiere Elements 9 - "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements....
    I'm still getting the message "Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down.  We will attempt to save your current project.".
    I uninstalled, reboot, installed, reboot a few times and it still doesn't work.
    Any suggestions?  I'm using Premiere Elements 9 and Windows 7, 64 bits.  It was working before.  It started after I had to reformat my harddrive and reinstall everything.
    Thanks,

    ...By the way, when you did that and deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs deletion did not resolve the problem, did you then delete the whole folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists?
    [YH] Yes I did but it didn't work.
    1. When you did the uninstall/reinstall, did you include a ccleaner run through between the uninstall and the reinstall? Good idea to do that to remove any leftovers from incomplete uninstall reinstalls.
    [YH] Done but didn't work. I just ran the CCleaner free version.  I'm not sure if it's enough.
    2. Do you have the 9.0.1 Update installed.
    [YH] Done but didn't work.
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer
    [YH] I didn't have QuickTime installed.  It is now but didn't do any difference.  I uninstalled Adobe Premiere Elements, ran CCleaner, reboot, installed APE, reboot... still doesn't work.
    3. Are you running your computer from a User Account with Administrative Privileges as well as Run As Administrator (from right click of program desktop icon and selection of Run As Administrator?
    [YH] Yes
    4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    [YH] I'm assuming yes because it was working before.
    5. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus program disabled?
    [YH] I haven't tried yet but see item number 6 below.
    6. Go to Computer/Manage/Services and Applications/Services and assure that FLEXnet Licensing Service is started.
    [YH] I don't see any FLEXnet.  I don't remember installing this on any computer.  I googled it but I'm not sure I understand what and from where to install it.  I checked at work on another computer running Adobe Premiere Elements and FLEXnet is running on that computer. So this might be the source of the problem.
    7. The following is a version 12 remedy, let us see if this will work for 9.0/9.0.1
    As described in the link below, rename the SLCache Folder and the SLStore Folder.

    bgar
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
    What are you (manually) or the project (automatically) setting as the project preset?
    (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size,
    and Pixel Aspect Ratio (even if fields look grayed out).
    What are the properties of these source media, including file extension? The brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the
    video may give us this information.
    When the source media hit the Timeline for the first time, is there an orange line over their content? Or is there
    no colored line and an orange line appears over them only after you have edited them?
    Please elaborate on "poof" after rendering the Timeline content by pressing the Render button above the Timeline content with the orange line over it.
    a. Media Offline displays?
    b. Other?

  • Another "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."

    When I try an open the original project or a copy of it I get this message.
    "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
    I have tried to create a new project and get the same message.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program a few times.
    The last time I worked on the project I had no issues.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    a. Open Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 - Yes, I get the welcome screen (v9.0).  I can choose open project, and choose my project.  The program will open and show that it is loading the project with the scroll line will show all the way to 100% and will stay there.  Sometimes I get the "Sorry" message and sometimes the loading project window just goes away and nothing is loaded and the program stays on the clock until I close it.
    b. You can find the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and deletion of it makes no difference to your issue. - Made no difference
    c. Have you deleted the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists? If not, please do so. - Done, made no difference
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? - Running McAfee Total Access Protection.  Turned off firewall and anti virus. It works.  As a test I left the anti virus off and tried loading project with and with out the firewall turned on.  The project loaded each time.  I then tested the firewall on, with and with out antivirus.  Antivirus off - project loads each time.  Antivirus on - doesn't load and program stays on clock.
    I will continue to experiment with it and see what happens.  The last time I used it I was running a different McAfee product than no.  So it seems to work with the Firewall on and the Antivirus off.

  • Premiere Elements 7, Sorry, a serious error has occurred  that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to..

    Hi, my software just recently started giving me the folowing error and it does not work (start):
    Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adone Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
    I had tried everything, even uninstalling and reinstalling the program and still it does not work. Does anybody have this issue?
    Do you know how to fix it?

    I found the root casue of the problem. I just turn OFF the McAfee antivirun software and the Premiere Elements 7 works now. 
    I realized that McAfee updated the version on April 20 and i think this version has a problem with the Adobe Premiere Elements programm.

  • Sorry, a serious error has occurred...(Premiere Elements 7)

    I am having a problem with Premiere Elements 7.  It was installed in January of this year and worked fine then.  I didn't do any video editing for a few months and came back to it recently.  Now I am having a problem opening old Version 7 projects and creating new projects.  The program stalls with the error "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires....".  I have been reading forum discussions about this error and have tried the suggested fixes but nothing so far has resolved the problem.  I have checked for upgrades on all drivers and upgraded those that needed it.  Quicktime is uptodate.  My Device Manager shows no driver problems.  I have run Disk Cleanup and removed all files that it found.  I have recreated Preferences, Styles and the Plug-In Cache.  I have done a Repair & Reinstall of PE7.
    I am running Windows 7 64 bit.  I have an Intel quad core processor with 8 GB of ram with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX.  My OS drive has 126 GB of free space.  My video drive has 325 GB free space.  My drives are defragmented weekly and show no fragmentation.  My system checks for Windows Updates daily and installs them automatically.
    Any help in solving this problem would be much appreciated.

    In response to Bill Hunt, I am posting screen captures of processes running on my computer.
    Please note that PE4 has always and continues to work fine on my computer with no problems opening or creating projects.  My problem concerns PE7.  By the way, I also have the same problem with PE8 only with PE8, it stalls when opening or creating a project and leaves a blank workspace instead of the "Sorry" error message.

  • Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere elements to shut down. We wil attempt to save your current project. This error occures when Im adding a .mov movie.

    Hello everybody
    I have a new laptop and when I want to add a .mov movie to Adobe premiere elements, this error occures. Im trying to solve this problem now for days but I dont know how to continue. Im working with Windows XP, Version 2002, T2250, 0.99 RAM and an old Premiere elements 2004 version.
    On my old computer I was able to add this same .mov movies, but not on the new one.
    I also tried to convert this .mov movies, but the quality was to bad...
    Does anybody know this problem? Im appreciating every little advice and help.
    Thanks a lot

    Sorry for all the delays getting your thread moving forward. I suspect that it got lost in the daily thread traffic and Adobe's major updating of the forums.
    Do your issues still exist. If they are the same as when you posted on May 8th, then
    1. When you used HandBrake for the converslion of your .mov file, did you leave the Container = Mp4. And under Video Tab, did you set the Videc Codec = H.264 (x264)? All you needed to do at that point was dot the Constant for the frame rate and designate a frame rate and select the Start button and wait for the Queue Finished message in the progress bar at the bottom left of the HandBrake workspace.
    2. What model iPhone is the video coming from? Your iPhone is probably giving you HD video (probably 1080p). So increasing the computer's installed RAM from 2.00 to 4 GB would be expected to help the overall workflow. Only if you have a 64 bit computer operating system, 8 GB installed would be even better. The 4 GB installed RAM is the maximum supported by a 32 bit computer operating system.
    3. Specially for
    The movie is stopping and jumping.
    When you are playing back the Timeline content, are you looking at the "rendered Timeline"? Is there an red line over the content during that playback? If so, press the Enter key and wait for the render process to complete. This rendering process gives you the best possible preview of what you are seeing. The red  line could be due to your editing the content, or it could be due to an incorrect selection of project settings. If you supply information about your video properties, we can suggest the best possible project settings. I do not recall seeing that you mentioned what version of Premiere Elements that you are using 1, 2, 3, 4 or other?
    Please review the above and then let me know what supplemental information and/or clarification would help.
    Thank you.

  • Getting a "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements 9 to shut down" on a fresh install on a brand new hard drive

    Just installed and when I try to create a TEST file, that's the message I get.

    From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
    •You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
    •(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
    •What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.0.1 update).
    •What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac"
    •Has this ever worked before?  If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.?  Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
    •Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)

  • ECC-HR has multiple busniess units but in SRM only few replicated

    Hello experts,
    am having few questions on HR replciation from ECC to SRM.
    We replicated org structure from ECC- HR in SRM system now scenario is :
    In  ECC-HR Org has multiple business units but we implemented SRM only for specific business units,when we ran change pointers, IDOCs are created for all changes of all business units and these IDOCs are failing in SRM.
    Now please guide me if i run RHALEINI only in Update mode and entered specific org units. In selection screen.Will it work.....i read somewhere,it may replace the values of the attributes or something can be broken out in org structure,If i run RHALEINI in update mode than what are the testings i need to perform before doing this actually in production system ?
    When i run RHALEINI in update mode,actually replciate those changes in SRM system do i need to run RBDMIDOC or any other report ?
    Smriti

    Hi Smriti,
    Try this. 
    Identify the HR PERNRs for the changes to be replicatied from HR to SRM (assuming you do transfer object "P")
    T-code "PFAL" or SE38  "RHALEINI"  Plan version=01, object type "P" and the object values as the PERNRs you want to replicate.
    Evaluation Path P-s-O (SAP should have provided this standard for the object "P")
    Press enter
    Check the message type default and enter the logical system of SRM.
    Execute this in the update mode.
    If there are any new org units, please check and manually maintain attributes on SRM. If there are any old org units, attributes are not wiped out as long as the old org units are connected to the same root company.
    Hope this helps.
