Organizer fails to respond

Elements 9 installed early 2011. Have opened Organizer and loaded new photos and used individual photos for printing, etc.. Clicked on desktop icon and opened Organizer as usual but I cannot access any photos or even backup to a DVD. Message "Organizer is not responding" appears and system goes into a loop until I Cancel. Do not seem to have any other problems outside of Elements.
Any suggestions?

Organizer preferences may have become corrupted, needing to be automatically re-built on a re-start. Close Elements.
Navigate to:
John > AppData >Roaming >Adobe >Photoshop Elements >7.0 >Organizer
Delete the PSA file (with key symbol) and delete Status.dat
Re-start the program
N.B. replace John with your own user name or click the start button and select your user name above documents. Replace 7.0 with your version of PSE.

Address list service failed to respond error on Exchange 2007 (after adding first 2013 server)

Hi,
We just installed an Exchange 2013 server within an Exchange 2007 environment.
The Exchange 2013 (CU6) server will be used to setup a hybrid connection with O365, and move mailboxes to O365.
After installing the Exchange 2013 server it isn't possible anymore to create/enable mailboxes on the Exchange 2007 server.
We end up with an error :
Mig1 TestAccount
Failed
Error:
The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration error.
Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
Enable-Mailbox -Identity 'domain.be/customer/TEMP/Mig1 TestAccount' -Alias 'mig1' -Database 'Exchange2007\SG01\DB02'
When executed via EMS we receive this error :
The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration error

Hi Lyncer
This error can be caused if the default Public Folder Database not being pointed to the exchange 2007 database which you are trying to create a new mailbox.
Also it can happen if System Attendant service is not running.
Troubleshooting steps:
1) Restart the System Attendant Service
2) Point the affected database to the default public folder
Follow the below steps to do that
Open EMC
Go to Organization Configuration > Mailbox.
Select the mailbox database that you want to change the default public folder database.
Right click the database and select properties
In <Mailbox Database Name> Properties, click the Client Settings tab.
Next to the Default public folder database box, click Browse.
In Select Public Folder Database, select the public folder database from the list of public folder databases, and then click OK.
Cheers!!!

Unable to chat "because user failed to respond"

I and my family are having trouble using iChat AV for video chat. The problem also affects audio chat.
Essentially, when person A invites person B to chat, and person B accepts, there is a delay with the spinning indicator (which always pauses momentairly in this process) and then person B sees an error message saying that person A "failed to respond". Messaging works fine.
My father experienced this issue first, unable to connect to my brother. However, I was able to connect to both of them. Recently, I was invited to download an iSight Updater, and since this the problem now affects me.
My father uses iChat AV v3.1.6 (v441) on OS 10.4.8 on a G5 iMac
I use iChat AV 2.1 (v153) on OS 10.3.9 on a G4 iMac
I believe my brother also uses OS 10.3.x
Can anyone provide any assistance as this problem is getting us down! Thanks!

Hi Perseverance,
This info suggests that ports for iChat are not open somewhere such as the Mac Firewall or the modem.

Disk Utility: Burn error: 0x80020022 The device failed to respond...

I've been working on archiving a ton of video to DVD. I'm using Dual-Layer discs to minimize the amount of physical storage space needed for the finished project. I burned several discs in iDVD in July and regularly received errors. Then the drive suddenly stopped loading any type of media. Anything I inserted would spin briefly and then eject. Repaired permissions and followed steps outlined here and here. Took the Mac back to the store where I bought it (sadly, not an Apple Store - nearest one is 12 hrs away) where naturally it performed flawlessly for the store rep.
So I took it home and resumed burning, now saving as a disc image (ignoring iDVD's warning about the performance of DVDs burned this way) and using Disk Utility, since iDVD didn't seem to be reliable. Burned about 25 discs, error-free, in this fashion, then three days ago, got the error: "Unable to burn “Disc 19.img”. (The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.)"
Retried the same image, and it worked. Then burned two more in the same fashion with no errors. Today I got the same error again. Logs are identical for each failed burn, except for the time span between certain lines.
Price of DL media being what it is, I'd hate to keep ruining discs if there's something I can do to avoid it. I suppose it could be bad media, but it seems odd that I'd get two bum discs that close together after burning so many without issue. Checked the site and the forums, and there doesn't seem to be any answers. Does anyone have any ideas? (Other than "try a different brand of media." I've got a buttload of these discs and it's too late to return them now.) Even if it just helps determine where the issue lies. Warranty will be up soon, so if it's hardware related, I need to get it taken care of quick.

I have encountered the same problem. I have a Mac Book Pro from 2007, and it has gone through 3 DVD writers so far, all of which have ruined DVD+R DL disks. I have occasionally been able to burn one, but usually during verify, I get this error message:
Communication to the disk drive failed: 0x8002022
And disk utility fails with a "Invalid B-tree node size" error
Oddly, when I try to burn a disk near capacity (6.5Gb or more) it is more likely to fail than if I burn a smaller disk.
I've been using Memorex DVD+R DL disks, but I have used other brands in the past but they have failed, too. Out of about 50 disks so far, I have had success with about 5.

"The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to respond properly"

Hello everyone,
I have suddenly developed a problem when trying to burn a CD. I get the "Checking playlist" and "Initializing" messages, and then Writing...(the name of the first track)", but about 20 seconds later, just when seems as if it will start burning, the CD is ejected and I get the following message: ""The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry."
I have browsed the forums here and it seems that many other people have had similar problems. I am running a Powerbook G4, OS X version 10.2.8, iTunes 6.0.5.
I have used several different brands of media, and many slower burning speeds, but nothing helps.
I can still listen to CD's with my computer, just not burn anything.
My computer is about 5 years old. Do you think that this problem is suddenly occurring simply because my optical drive needs to be replaced?
Also, another issue, possibly related, but maybe not, is that, after my burn failed for the first time, I put in a completely different CD to see if it would play. It did, but instead of listing the correct tracks on the CD, it showed the tracks of the previous playlist that had the failed burn.
For example, I imported the tracks from one CD into my Library, then moved them to a playlist. When I tried to burn the contents of that playlist to a CD, I received the "attempt to burn failed" message that I previously described.
Then, I inserted a completely different disc, but iTunes read it as having the same contents of the playlist that had failed to burn, but when I clicked on the track titles, they played from the new CD that I'd inserted, not the failed playlist. So although the titles indicated that I was working with the failed playlist, the media that played was from the new CD.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm having a similar problem. In my case, the problem started about two months ago. I regularly update software. Currently I'm at 10.4.10 and iTunes 7.3.2(6).
In my case, I'm trying to backup recent iTunes purchases. I'm unable to burn CDs with the original combo drive (CD) or my internal NEC burner (DVDs). I get a series of coasters. Occasionally .Mac Backup fails as well. Toast 7 works fine. Even stranger, I can burn 1 DVD successfully with an external Pioneer DVD burner (4x) USB 2 using iTunes. (I have a belkin USB 2 card) Multiple DVDs fail. I recently switched to this PowerMac from an iBook and several preference files were copied with my home directory during the transition. The external drive was used with the iBook, but not on this system before which may lend to the preferences file as a possibility.
However, I find it odd that my external drive works and both internal drives are failing. I was suspecting the IDE controller on the logic board, except that Toast works. This logic board is not as old as the computer. It was a replacement in 2005 when an after market ATI card fried and took it and the power supply out. At first I suspected a hardware problem and replaced the IDE cable which looked warn. The NEC drive is about two years old and the combo drive is the original. They are on the same controller.
In my case it is certainly possible the drives or controller are starting to fail. I wonder if anyone else might have an external cd/dvd drive they could test that are having the problem.

Ix2 fails to respond, cannot get past login screen

I am having intermittent problems with my Iomega ix2 failing to respond. After some time being on the drive fails to respond. I cannot open any files through Windows explorer. If i attempt to connect using the web interface i cant get past the login screen. I put in my user name and password and hit enter. The page simply reloads the login screen. The only solution is to power the drive down using the button on the back of the unit. Powering it up it works fine. Eventually though this will happen again. It's happened a half dozen time or more in the last few days. Now I'm stuck out in the field and cannot access any files. Please help.

No. No errors in the event log of any kind other than the time sync error. I recently replaced one of the disks as it had failed. I receieved a warranty disk from Lenovo/Iomega about a month ago. i installed it and it rebuilt the RAID with no problems. This error has been happening since then. When the time sync error happens i get all kinds of strange behavior. SFTP, which is how I access the files, will start giving Goodsync 'cannt reach end of file error' type errors. Like I've mentioned before I also get an issue where the web login screen gets caught in a loop too. I type in the user name and the password, hit enter, and it just reloads the login screen again. Rebooting the device from the power button on the back is the only solution.

Help - failed to respond - ichat os 10.4.7

i just bought 3 new macbooks. 1 for my fiance, 1 for myself, and 1 for my inlaws as i am moving out of state in two weeks.
i have an OLD g4 cube and an old ibook with an external, firewire isight camera. when i use both the ibook (wireless) and the cube (direct ethernet connection to my comcast cable modem) i am able to ichat with my sister who is in nyc.
when i first bought the 1st macbook i brought it home and successfully connected with my sister, in her apartment, and video-conferenced.
i then bought the 2 macbooks, set them up at my fiances house. 1 was hard-wired to their ethernet connection, the other was working wirelessly. we were able to connect and ichat in their house.
my fiance brought her computer to my house last night, we upgraded her and my OS to OS 10.4.7.
she went home, we connected via our wireless chats ONE time ... then when we tried later - we each got the "failed to respond b.c XXXX did not reply" (each got it on our own computer for our own names)
i was able to connect my macbook to my ethernet and ichat with the computer that was hard-wired at her house, but once i removed my hard-wire connection at my house, i lost the connection immediately
i then took out my isight and cube and connected to my parents computer again, i also used my ibook laptop and connected with the isight again ... when i tried to use the new macbook - failed to respond again and again and again
please - i'm so frustrated - can anyone help after that verbose explaination of my problem
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6) now on max os x (10.4.7)

Hi bginz,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
Ok it is a bit like this.
iChat reads the Connection speed via a setting in System Preferences for Quicktime.
WHen a computer is started up for the first time the full Bandwidth is passed to iChat
In subsquent iChat/computer start ups the Quicktime setting is used.
If this is set to Automatic it returns a 0 to iChat and caps the Bandwidth.
Go to System Preferences > QUicktime > Streaming tab and set the drop down to match your download speed.
If your connection is fatser than 1.5meg then use the 1.5meg setting.
Some of your problem may be related to the routing set up you have on your LAN.
Hw are you set up with regard to IP issuing from your modem ?
Is it using DHCP or have you set up Static routing ?
IS there any other routing device involved ?
This will lead to how have you opened the ports to allow different computers to use the iChat ports ?
Can you confirm that the initial connections are form the AIM Buddy List and not the Bonjour one ?

New macbook pro fail to respond to the power button

Why did my new macbook pro fail to respond to the power button?
I have a new 13" MacBook Pro Retina (10.9.1) which I have been using for about 3 weeks. I am new to Mac and am in the process of making the transition from Windows XP.
Today, with the battery at 100% and the power lead disconnected, I left the mac with the lid closed but, when I returned, it did not come back to like when I opened the lid. Also, it would not respond to the power button.
After some web searching, I managed to get it back to life after resetting the SMC.
Is this a software problem, or is it more likely to be a hardware problem?

Highly unlikely that software is involved - especially since resetting the SMC corrected the problem.
Unless it happens again, I would forget it. If it occurs again, take it in for warranty service.

Insufficient bandwidth/failed to respond

I cant 1 on 1 video chat. most of the time when i invite there is a delay and then it says i failed to respond. on the other end it tells them that they failed to respond. occasionally it will say insufficient bandwidth.

Hi Shawn,
Can you tell us what your settings are in:
1) System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab ?
2) iChat Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit drop down ?
3) What your Mac Firewall settings for iChat are ?
4) What you modem Port settings are for iChat ?
5) Are you still on 10.4.2 or have you updated ?

Elements 9 organizer won't respond. I need serious help!

It started with organizer not opening. From the welcome screen I would click organizer, and it would pretend to open then disappear. I could open the organizer from the editor. It would not let me bring a photo into the editor, it just wouldn't do anything. The organizer would just crash.
I deleted 10,000 photos fromt the organizer, hoping that would help. I used the repair feature and it said it needed to build new thumbnails so I said yes. Now the organizer won't respond at all. HELP!!!!!

You know, know that I think about this, I think I might know the root of the problem.
A few days ago, I imported a session from my memory card. During that import, the computer just turned off. After that, half the thumbnails from that session wouldn't load, but if I clicked onto the photo into a large view (in the organizer) it would load. (then it wouldn't open photos into the editor, and the organizer became unresponsive) So I created a new catalog again and it started working again....UNTIL I imported the very same photo shoot. It again shut down the computer during import, and the same problem all over again.
So what could possibly be happening here exactly, is it the memory card/photos or the organizer?

Crash: "Elements 10 Organizer is not responding"

Elements 10 crashes EVERY TIME I try to use it. I ge thte above error message and the screen freezes. I tried removing and reloading the software, but the problem remained. I have Vista, 32 bit.
Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

Hi Martin,
Let me see if I understand your problem:
OK, so the Organizer isn't "crashing" every time you "use" it. It will open the old catalog without any error messages. I assume you're using the "Thumbnail" view where you see all the images in the catalog. (Is that right?) It's when you attempt to scroll down through the displayed images that you get an "Organizer is not responding" error message. You also get that error message if you highlight an image and select "Edit with Photoshop Elements".
Do I understand correctly what's happening?
If I've got all that right, it might be a system resources issue -- we'll need some more details:
The Organizer obviously worked in the past; when did you start getting the error? By that I mean can you think of anything you did in the Organizer just before the errors started, such as importing videos, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as installing a new printer or updating the printer driver?
Do you have any of the Organizer's Media Analysis features enabled? Are you using the Watch Folders function?
How many images are in your catalog?
Where are the actual images stored? On your internal drive, or on an external drive, or on a network location?
How much RAM is installed on your computer?
How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
Do you get that Organizer error even when you have no other applications running in the background?
Added:
One quick and easy thing you can do is to use File...Catalog to open the Catalog Manager window. Highlight your old catalog and hit the "Repair" button (choose "Repair anyway" if prompted). When the repair finishes, repeat, this time hitting the "Optimize" button. See if your old catalog works better.

User failed to respond

Okay so I have tried with a bunch of different people but I can't get video chat to work I keep getting the message that I failed to respond. I was able to user one of the appletest01 accounts and connected just fine but not to any real person. I have all my ports setup per ichat help guides and had a friend do the same for his but we couldn't connect.
Anyone know something we can try to get around this problem?

"device failed to respond properly" error

I have a mac mini sans dvd burner. Thus, I was happy to get a Plextor PX-740UF dvd burner in the mail. The fun stopped once I tried to burn a dvd. I have gone through 10 dvd's so far with no luck. I have been reading this forum trying to find a solution. I have tried Verbatim DVD-R lately. I saved a disc image and tried to burn it with the disk utility. Everytime I get the following error: Unable to burn "name.img" - the device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.
iDVD keeps giving me a multiplexor error. Nonetheless, I don't understand the error from disk utility. Why or how could a device fail to respond? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Are you doing it right? see below:
File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)
