Organizer Capacity

When I called Adobe Support for assistance with the PE3 incremental back up not working.........their conclusion is I have exceeded the capacity of the organizer.
Did you know the organizer has a capacity. They couldn't tell me what it is but that I have exceeded it??? I'm thinking this was a way to get me to upgrade to PE4, which they can't tell me has more or less capacity than PE3. Anyone have experience with this. Know what the capacity is?
I use CS2 for editing but really like the organizer vs the bridge for "organization". I have approximately 80GB of photo's currently on my system.

>you mention to include the organizer catalog in my backups. I'm not savvy to that. Is that the tagging? Is this a separate file? Where do I find that file?
Yes the tagging information is in the Elements Organizer Catalog; you definitely should include it it in the list of files that you back up. If you have used the default PSE 3 or PSE 4 Catalog name and location, you most probably will find it as
Filename of My Catalog.psa in folder
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalogs
Warning: This folder structure has a Windows Hidden Folder, so you must enable Viewing and Searching of Windows Hidden Folders in order to find your Catalog.
Do NOT use any My Catalog file that you find under the Program Files folder; it will NOT contain your tags and other data.
PLUS - Since you said you have or plan to have Offline Photos it is important that you also backup
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalog Folders\My Catalog
If you used a Catalog name other than the default, substitute that catlog name for the last level of folder here. There is another subfolder below it for Proxies and you do want to backup the Proxies subfolder as well.
SUMMARY -
Probably the simplest approach is to back up everything under
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalogs
AND
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalog Folders

  • Retaining folder structure

    I imported a number of files from a single subdirectory on my hard drive.  However, when they imported into LR, they were separated out into folders by date.  I now see that if I wanted them all to go into a single folder I should have specified that folder name in the library during the import.  What I have now is long list of library folders by date, many of which have only 1-30 images.  What's the best way to straighten this all out?  Should I create a new folder in the library and then move all the dng files into that?  Or is this where I start working with collections and forget about folders altogether?  I'm used to finding photos in sub-directories, but do the collections now give me an organizational capacity I have always lacked?

    However, unless I want to start over, the LR tutorial advises that, as a catalog has no upper limit, there should be no reason to create a new one.  Is there a reason to create multiple catalogs and if so what is it?
    The only reasons in my mind are if you have completely non-overlapping subject matter (like business and personal). Otherwise, one catalog is the way to go.
    In your case, following 99jon's advice, creating a new catalog is meant to replace the incorrect catalog that you previously created, so in reality, you have only a single catalog (the new one), you won't be using that first catalog you created ever again.

  • Playlists and audiobooks

    I'm a long-time Audible subscriber, and I'm suddenly having fits using my iPhone to listen to my audiobooks. I can make all sorts of playlists in iTunes. However, when I try to sync them to the iPhone, they don't always show up as being playlists under the music tab. Or, if they're there, and I sync them, only the non-Audible tracks appear on my phone. It's driving me batty. As far as I can tell, I'm still authorized with Audible. All I can find when searching for playlist problems is the smart list problems, but these are just simple lists, drag-and-drop kind of things. Can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong.

    So, after some poking around, and if I get it now, audiobooks now come under a "books" tab, and they no longer work with playlists. That SOUNDS much more convenient, except it's really not. I have access to around 275 Audible files alone, having been a member for years. The books portion of iTunes is very limited in its organizational capacity. It's difficult to sort by author or title when trying to decide what books to sync to my phone. When I could use playlists, it was easy enough to make a playlist of the books I wanted and just sync that. Why not have left audiobooks able to sync as part of playlists? Best of both worlds for people who don't mind? Or something. This way is nowhere near as convenient.

  • I upgraded to iOS 5 and I went from having about 15GB of free space to being 4 GB over capacity.  Any solutions which save me from having to re-organize all of my apps?

    After I upgrded to iOS 5, the category of other is taking up 15.3 GB of space.  Prior to the upgrade, I had approx. 15GB of free space on my 64 GB iPad.  My concern is that the only solution to this problem that occurred from the "upgrade" is that I have to do a factory reset.  If I do a factory reset, there are two big pain points.
    1) The amount of time that it will take to get all of my stuff back onto the iPad.  When I first got the iPad, it took about 2 days for the music, videos, and photos to load.
    2) Re-organizing my apps.  I currently have my 229 apps organized into 11 folders and 8 screens.  I know this is a lot of apps, but I don't want to have to go through the struggle of getting it all organized as it is today.  Is there any way to get all of the apps organized the same way post-reset that will not involve a whole lot of work by me?
    I have tried to call Apple support to get help on this, but I have gone through 4 phone calls with hold times averaging 45 minutes before speaking to someone.  After all of this time and effort, their solution is a factory restore and do all the work myself.

    Hi again
    The problem isn´t solved but we now know what it is.
    Because I couldn´t upgrade the last 1-2 times with iTunes I though the problem was my iPod touch 3. generation, so when I heard that Apple couldn´t find or re-create the problem(s), then I flipped out. Sorry about that.
    Because it looks as the problem belong to the Philips speakersystem (real name is DCM 580).
    So when I received my touch back today and after speaking with Apple - DK, I looked at Philips support and found a firmware upgrade to the speakersystem from Sept. 23, 2011. Did upgrade my speakersystem and after that the rechargesystem through the dockconnection worked again. And at this afternoon on the homepage of my speakersystem, Philips tells us, that they have created a firmware update that only needs approval and then will be released at the homepage. So it looks at the whole problems was to some compatibility problems with the speakersystem after upgrading to iOS 5.0.
    Its not easy to know where to start when 2 or more units are involved these days
    Looked in the mirrow then I ofcourse know very well that we allways shall look for firmware and drive updates before anything else. This time I missed that because I have upgraded several time since February and uptil the day before upgrading to iOS 5.0 and none of thise upgrades had any needs for speakersystem upgrades.
    Friendly regards

  • I have Elements 10, Lightroom 5 and PS6.  My mac is saying its "running at or near capacity".  i suspect the problem is the Elements organizer, 875 MB, and I don't believe I can import it into my LR catalogue which is on an external drive.  Any suggestion

    If helpful, here is some additional info:
    I am running OSX version 10.9.4, with 8 GB of memory.

    I don't remember how big mine was, but I had loads of pictures in Elements so I guess it should work anyway -- so I'd first try to convert the full catalog, even if it takes some time.
    If this really is a problem I'd suggest you break up your Elements catalog into two or more smaller ones -- I remember Elements getting a nuisance with big catalogs.
    Btw.: I have the LR catalog on the internal drive, pictures and backups on two external drives. As long as I don't have the money for a big external SSD I think I will keep it that way (my machine is an iMac 21.5 8GB)

  • Solution: Syncing with my iTunes library an endless headache: Songs don't transfer, or songs transfer and show up as "other," or I get double copies, or "Over Capacity," or stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied."

    iPod Touch 5g, 64GB, iOS 7.1. After my iPod data began showing up "Other," after an abrupt disconnection from iTunes during a sync I've spent the last week trying to fix it only to be thwarted at every attempt.  I've tried resetting and restoring 6 or 7 times now, and all goes well until it gets to copying my library of music over.  What I finally figured out is that 8,000+ songs is too many for iTunes to process all at once for some reason. 
    After several nights of leaving it connected all night I would find that the songs had physically copied and were occupying the ~45 gb of space on my iPod's storage, but were not showing up on my local library, instead listed as "Other" in iTunes and otherwise unusuable, or they would show up, but I'd have ~45 gigs of "Other," 45 gigs of "Audio," and would be "Over Capacity," by 30 gigs or so.  OR it would be "Waiting for Changes to be Applied," for 12+ hours.
    My work around:  In iTunes, under the "Music" / "Sync Music" tab, instead of syncing "Entire Music Library," select "Selected Playlists, Artists, Albums, and Genres."  You will have to indivually select the playlists, artists, albums, or genres and kept each bulk tansfer to <2000 songs at a time.  The easiest way for me to do this was by selecting one genre at a time and copying it over.  I had already taken the time to organize my library into 10 genres, you probably have more than 10.  This is irritating and time consuming, but it's better than resetting my iPod over and over and over again to no avail.
    Waiting for Changes? What iTunes is actually doing when it says it is "Waiting for Changes," or "Waiting for Items to Copy."  iTunes for whatever reason does not reveal the relevent data being processed during a sync (didn't it used to?), but there are a couple ways you can decipher what it is actually up to.  The first option is on the iPod; under Settings>General>iTunes Wi-Fi Sync it will tell you what it is up to during syncing.  The other way on the iPod; under Music>Songs, scroll all the way to the bottom to see where it is at in the process.  What iTunes, iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, and the bottom of the Songs library report are not always in agreement, but seeing all three will give you a better approximation of where you are in the syncing process and whether or not it is hanging.
    This for me was successful as a workaround, but this is not a solution.  Apple needs to fix this crap.  Maybe they just want to make it so difficult to have a physical library of music on the local storage of the iPod that we will just give up and sign up for their Match service.

    ALSO, on the iPod under Settings>General>iTunes Sync, you may need to back out of the "iTunes Wi-fi Sync," and reopen it to get it to update.
    (I use iTunes 11.1.5.5)

  • Problem with iTunes and iPhone Music organization. PLEASE READ AND HELP!

    Hello All!
    I have this problem concerning iTunes and my iPhone. When I add music, and I update the Artist title to organize it in my iPhone, It shows EDITED on my mac in iTunes, but not my iPhone. I took a screen shot of what It shows. The TOP is iTunes showing "Arie Dixon" and "Arie Dixon & Olivia Cipolla" two seperate CD's, yet different Artist Titles, just the way I want it. The BOTTOM shows how the file was originally, in 3 seperate titles, "Bebe Boohgz" "The Jackmove 3" and "Arie Dixon 'Bebe Boohgz' and Olivia Cipolla". The problem is that iTunes shows it in the correct title, but my iPhone won't. This is my 2nd iPhone 4 I have that has this problem. I'm not sure if it's the settings or encoding, can someone help me out? I can't be the only person with this problem. Apple rep looked at me like o_O
    I also have music that won't appear in my iPhone, I manually have to search for, but appears on my iTunes in the correct title.
    I also have everything updated, and have the new os x release.

    Are you getting a specific error message when trying to do this?
    As for the message about the media disappearing, of course it will.  This is how iOS upgrades work.  The device is wiped and the newest version of iOS for the device is installed as a "new" device then the device is restored using the backup created prior to the upgrade.
    All the content on the device should already exist in iTunes on the computer.
    If you want to move your iTunes library to a different drive for capacity reasons, do the following:
    Close iTunes
    Copy or Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the C drive to the other drive.
    While holding SHIFT launch iTunes.  iTunes will then prompt the user to select a library or create a new one.  Point iTunes to the new iTunes folder location.

  • Can I use Organizer to change the .jpg size of all photos in a folder in one batch process?

    We're using wa-a-ay too much disk space for a growing photo collection.   My daughter is a camera freak with four kids -- need I say more? 
    In my current test folder the sizes of the original photos range from 2.3 MB to 4.2 MB.  I picked one photo at random and printed the original and then three more, saved by PSE9 as .jpg files at maximum, middle, and minimum quality settings on plain letter-size paper, and again on 4x6 photo paper.  It takes a magnifying glass and a calibrated eyeball to detect a difference on the plain paper, and it's even more difficult on the photo paper.  I think I should relieve the pressure on the hard drive's capacity by reducing everything to a more reasonable size; after all, the minimum-quality print takes up less than one percent of the disk space as does the maximum-quality print.
    I have a hunch that I can accomplish this in a batch process with Organizer, but that's all I have is the hunch -- not the know-how.   I would like someone to step me through the process.
    I also expect a lecture on why I shouldn't do this.  Go for it; I'll listen.
    Thanks,  Bud

    Bud,

    You are the one to judge... Will you regret it if you want to use some pictures with the original size and resolution at a later time?
    Yes, you can use either the organizer or the 'process multiple files' command of the editor. But first you should think about two questions:
    - Are you ready to backup the full resolution and size files before the 'shrinking'? External USB drives with big capacities are available and affordable.
    - From what you are saying, the optimal size would be for files resized for 4" x 6" format at 300 ppi in jpeg quality 8 to 10.
    Resizing from the Editor: Use the 'process multiple files' command and click the 'Same as source' button. I would not do it without a sound backup first... This can be done folder by folder.
    Resizing from the Organizer : Use the 'Export' command. That command leaves the original and puts the resulting files in a new folder. The resulting files are NOT included in the catalog.This means that keeping your organization (categories, albums, tags...) will be tricky; same if you are using a folder organization system.
    Another solution with a third party software such as Faststone photo resizer:
    - Absolutely do a full backup before
    - run the resizing options in the external software so that the files are resized without being moved. That replaces the originals.
    - If you are using the organizer, your organization will be kept, but the file sizes in the catalog and thumbnail databases will be wrong. You can regenerate the thumbnail cache by deleting the thumbs.5.cache file in your catalog folder; it will be automatically rebuilt.
    That has worked for me in the past... no guarantee for you!

  • Can one organize a playlist in the grid or artist view in iTunes 11?

    can one organize a playlist in the grid or artist view in iTunes 11, i.e visually? the playlist as just a list of songs/ artists is a hopeless & very frustrating way to orgaize a list of maybe 30 songs/ artists that i might have downloaded in one session. or do the boffins at mac have that kind of brain numbing memory capacity?

    hi, yes i use that, but what i'm asking is can i drag the songs into the order i want when i have grid or artist list. in artist list it just lists alphabetically, it does not list in playlist order. it seem s to me that only in 'list' view without images that i can drag songs around, which is useless.
    thanks

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer failed during folder / file move

    I have a large image collection, in excess of 40,000.  I'm running on a PC with Windows 7 and all updates installed.  I just purchased PSE 11 to replace PSE 10. After installing PSE 11 I converted my catalog.  That seemed to go OK.  At that point I discovered that my C: drive was almost full so I decided to move my image collection from its C: drive location to an external hard drive that had sufficient capacity.  In order to ensure the integrity of the catalog I decided that I should use the PSE 11 Organizer to move the files.  This would allow the Organizer to update the location information for the files as it moved them, although it was clear that this would take many hours to complete.  So, using Organizer I did a "drag and drop" of my image collection's root file from the C: location to the external drive which happened to be the J: drive.  Organizer appeared to be running properly so I left it to continue overnight.  The next morning I discovered that only about 2/3 of the files had been moved.  There was a very cryptic message that said the opertion could not be completed because of "...possibly unsupported files types, files with read only attributes.." etc.  I did not write down the actual message and it did not tell me where in the transfer the failure occurred.  After doing some detective work I discovered that many folders and files had been copied to the J: drive that were not appearing in the Organizer catalog and consequently were not being displayed.  Some folders had only a portion of their files copied.  Fortunately, the files were still visible and cataloged on the C: drive.  I did look at my files on the C: drive and there were some that for what ever reason had read only attributes.
    I don't have a good guess as to what was actually the root cause of the problem, but here's how I think the file movement should happen.  The selected file, files, or folders should be copied to the specified destination.  At that point they should be added to the catalog, then the files should be deleted from their original location and the catalog updated accordingly.  If an original file is read only then it can't be deleted but the attempt to delete it should be reported as an inability to delete with no consequences imposed on the files that have been placed in their new location.  The "problem" should not be promoted to the status of a serious or fatal error that causes only partial completion of the overall operation.

    I've seen a couple postings in the forum that related to catalog conversion failures and suggested that they could be avoided by running in administrative mode.  When I did my conversion is was not in administrative mode and it's certainly possible that there were files with restrictive permission settings that screwed things up.  It's also fairly likely that the catalog itself had some issues that were not detected or fixed by running a catalog repair.
    That's something I had the opportunity to test today : after a fresh install of my second copy of PSE11 on another computer (Vista), I first restored without problem a PSE11 backup from the other computer (XP). Then I tried a restore for a catalog from a PSE6 version on the second computer. The conversion failed the first time and worked the second time when run as administrator. This time, I don't think there were file types problems, since that PSE6 catalog had been restored successfully on a PSE10 version some months ago. I really don't understand that 'administrator' problem, since all my files are situated in a second internal 1 Tb drive with full access for my account ?
    I am not sure about the details of your case, but I understand you have restored exactly the same tree structure in a new J: drive. Your catalog is always accessible in its original location.
    In that case it's possible to simply create a copy of your catalog (a simple copy of the folder containing the database catalog.pseXXdb - to be found in the help menu, system info). Then you need a sqlite database management tool (I use the add-on sqlite manager in Firefox) to simply edit a single record in a table containing the identification of all drives known to the catalog. You simply edit the letter and the serial number of the drive (DOS command VOL:).
    I had a case where I had a catalog and all the media on an external drive. That external drive was assigned a different letter in different computers. Either I used the above solution, or I had to reassign drive letters in one of the computers.

  • PSE 8.0 Organizer will not load

    I have been using PSE 8.0 for a few months and now the Organizer will not load.....I just get a message that the program is not responding. In fact, the
    only way to get to the Editor is to right click on a pictue file and open it in PSE Editor since the PSE Welcome screen is even grayed out and does not allow me to click on Organize or Edit.
    I recently max'd out my online storage capacity but can not even delete files from the Catalog because the Organizer will not work.
    I have tried de-installing and installing PSE but the problem persists. Any help would be appreciated.  

    It’s Adobe’s cunning way of getting you to purchase more storage.
    Try logging in to Photoshop.com and see if you can delete photos on-line. That might do the trick!

  • SQL Server 2012 - Capacity Limits by Edition

    I have a question about the capacity limits of SQL Server 2012.
    The documentation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143760.aspx points to an interesting limitation of the SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition:
    Enterprise Edition with Server + Client Access License (CAL) based licensing is limited to a maximum of 20 cores per SQL Server instance.
    This sounds like a technical limitation. How does the Enterprise Edition know that it is running in CAL based licensing and not in Core mode? I know that older Editions like SQL 2000 had a tool to set the license mode. Is there a similar tool available for
    SQL 2012?

    Hi Tron,
    Once the decision on the licensing vector is made, the DBA or organization must decide whether to license under the Server & CAL model, or under the Core-Based Licensing model. Server & CAL has been around for years, and simply refers to the model where
    one license applies for the server on which SQL Server is installed (note that multiple instances are allowed) and one CAL applies for the user or application service accessing the licensed SQL Server. One CAL is required for every user or application service
    regularly connecting to SQL Server.
    Please refer to the articles below for the details.

  • Estimating Security Resources Needed for Support Organization

    Hi Gurus,
    As our implementation winds down, I've been tasked with the pleasure of defining the security resource requirements needed for the future state support organization.
    Some high level details of the environment:
    -ECC 6.0, SCM SNC 7.1, BI, XI/PI; expected to be approximately 10 instances in stable environment between DEV, Q, Prod
    -10000 users
    -100 business roles; 1000 single roles
    -Custom security for one area that will require incremental additions of sales group/sales office across the BI, SNC and ECC systems in the roles (not too often)
    -90 day password reset enforcement
    -Manual access request forms
    -Use of SPM and RAR
    I've done some searches and found a fair amount of forum postings, but I'm seeing all types of different responses.  While I understand it can vary, I am curious if any of you have (from your experience) developed a helpful equation that can help us deteremine whether 2, 3 or 10 resources are needed.
    Please let me know if there is any more context I can provide.  If you are aware of another thread that already discusses this, please let me know.  Thanks in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Chris

    Depending on your frequency of role changes, user changes I would expect a team of 3 (2 reasonably strong + 1 admin) to be able to comfortably manage that landscape with some capacity for performing additional project support work & holiday cover.
    If you have low complexity/change then there is no reason why 1 or 2 people would not be able to cover the admin side once the solution is mature.
    Unfortunately no equation for it but based on what I see clients operating effectively over the last few years.  Automation (position based assignment, use of CUP etc) can help reduce the administrative workload.
    If you have metrics for expected user and role changes (difficult to come up with at the end of an implementation) then you can be more scientific about it.  There are many variables that have a material impact on the support requirements.
    All the consultancies & out sourcers have models that they use for this.  Usually I find them to be a bit generous on the resource side as they have to provide contingency for the unknown stuff.  One of my clients has out sourced some admin tasks and the out sourcing firm applied their metrics to it and fell quite short due to the complexity of it.  This isn't a criticism of those firms, rather that even these companies who do this stuff for a living can miss many things.

Maybe you are looking for
