PE 10 Organiser freeze

Organiser freezes regularly when importing more than a few pics, especially with raw files. My intervention so far: All filters disabled, updates done, and plenty of resources (16 GB ram, 1 TB free HD, i7 processor) on a newly installed WIN7 system. Any ideas around how to run PE10 properly?
I'm realy disappointed! Are there any releases planned to fix this and the well known date issue when importing pics directly from camera?

I followed all hints you gave me first without success. I then tried to import single files which is working even when all processors are enabled. Conclusion is that PSE is not struggling with the jpg or raw files but with mts files that are stored in the same folder… My fault! Would be helpful to have a filter (option) which file formats should be imported to avoid such issues and to make it easier to import complete folders containing different media. I think I’m not the only user who stores video clips and pics in the same folder.
Thanks for your effort.
Cheers

Elements 11 Organiser freezes when loading

When loading Elements 11 the Organiser freezes, Edit loads OK. I have followed all the suggestions in the Forum and I have found that when setting up a new account, it works OK but the original account doesn't work. The Forum suggests ask the administrator, but I haven't got one. Help please.
Thanks

You mention stopping active file monitor, but you don't say anything about stopping autoanalyzer, which is far more likely to cause this than anything mentioned in your post. (organizer preferences>media analysis, shut off everything except face recognition, if you use that)

PS Elements 5. Trouble restoring backup catalog - Organiser freezes

Old computer died and i re-installed PS Elements 5.0 on a Win8.1 machine. The first time instal indicated i was working on "My catalog". I ran a restore catalog function to restore my backup, original "John" catalog. The restore appeared to work ok i.e. the backup file *.tly was processed but my photos didn't show in Organiser. Have since uninstalled Elements 5.0 and reinstalled. On the new instal Organiser is looking for catalog "john" and just freezes. An explorer search cannot find "john" on the computer. How can I either reset my computer for a new clean instal so I end up with "my catalog" and can try a restore again OR how can i restore my "john" catalog without using Organiser. I have circa 6000 images which were/are catalogued. Any help appreciated as I don't want to have to tag/collection all of them again.

Hi,
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
The pictures I have stored independently is the the 4500 number, while the pictures on the external hard drive in the Elements 6 catalog folder amounts to
about 7300. Why would that be
Some of the extra files should most probably be the breeze.xml files. These are created due to preprocessing of face data. I didn't quite get "duplicate pictures with different file numbers in the Elements backup" ?? . Do you mean they have numbers like -1 , -2 etc attached. If yes, then they exist mostly when you had ediited files present in Organizer. Since these are part of version sets in Organizer so theie count is not shown in Organizer but you see it in your backup.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
So does anybody out there have a way I can just restore the incremental catalog backup or use the files created to at least get my tags, categories etc back?
To restore the catlog, you will need to go to File>Restore catalog from ... , browse for the .tly file and hit restore.
Incremental backup comes into picture when you had taken the backup of catalog before. So next time, you make changes to catalog and wish to take a backup , you have the option for an incremental backup which backs up only the changes done in Organizer since the original backup was taken. Incremental backup builds on the original backup and hence its not allowed to overwrite the original.
Hope this helps. Thanks

ELEMENTS 12 ORGANISER FREEZING

I am trialling Elements 12 on Mac OS 10.8.5. Organiser keeps freezing requiring forced quitting. Can anyone help?

It's probably the auto analyzer. First, go into the organizer prefs>media analysis and turn off everything there. Unfortunately, in PSE 12 that's not enough to kill it. Now go to applications>utilities>activity monitor and force quit elementsautoanalyzer there. Just FYI, if you want it to stay dead, adobe has put it into your startup items, too, so it will return the next time you start your computer. Go to system preferences>users & groups and delete it there. You may need to do these last two steps (activity monitor and startup items) more than once to make it stay dead. It can really drag down the performance of your whole system if allowed to run unchecked.

Elements 11-Organiser Freezes

I have spent 8 hours checking Help pages, going on your 'chat line' and various Forums. All without sucess.
'Editor' works fine but as soon as I go to 'Organizer', I am able to choose from any of the menu items at the top, but as soon as I select anything the program freezes.
I originally installed the prog under my own log in, then when it would not work I uninstalled and reinstalled under administrator.
I have run PSE11 update, Windows O/S updates, NET.frameworks update. Checked Subscore rate which is 7.1
I have deleted psa.prf and status.dat.
I have run services.exe and stopped 'Adobe Active File Monitor V11
(This apeared to work yesterday and allowed me to import media so I thought problem was solved,
however on opening this morning it froze again as soon as I selected anything).
Just for info, I also have Picassa installed and this organiser works fine.
Anyone got any other ideas please?

Additional info
I have two desk top Computers xp adsl2 broadband.

Freezing and resetting solution, playlists the culprit, take a look Apple

Hi there, I've had a major issue with my 160gb ipod classic from day 1.
I've got a 140g music library on my PC and I've not been able to sync it to the ipod because of freezing and resetting problems.. until today.
When I first tried to sync my whole music library the ipod crashed as soon as I disconnected it. I had to restore the ipod and soon learned to sync my music in 10gb chunks. Only trouble was the ipod would work fine as long as I only synced 70-80gb of music, which is half the ipod's capacity. If I tried to add any more music the ipod would eventually go into the freezing and resetting loop and I'd have to restore it and start again.
I know other users on here have had similar problems. Firmware 1.1 and itunes 7.6 did not fix the issue for me. I know that my mp3 files are not the problem because if I split my music library into two 70gb chunks I could sync either chunk without problems, it was only when I tried to sync them all...
Through lots of trial and error, such as reinstalling OS, reinstalling itunes, rebuilding library, scanning mp3 files for errors I have eventually found out what was causing my problem.
I have 100s of pretty complex smart playlists, they are heavily nested and dependant on other playlists. I've got them all organised into folders for easier navigating. This was one of the reasons I couldn't wait for the ipod classic to come out because my playlist folders would at last be recognised on the ipod. I recently added a pretty big playlist tree for playing songs from a given year and noticed that itunes got even more sluggish than usual!
I looked at my library file and it had grown to nearly 100mb. As an experiment I backed up my library file first than deleted all of my playlists. The size of the library file reduced to 34mb. I decided to try and sync more music onto my ipod without the playlists... and would you believe it I've been able to sync my whole music libary to my ipod for the first time - no freezing and no resetting!
I would hazard a guess that the ipod classic firmware currently has an issue syncing lots of complex, nested playlists. I've fed this back to apple and hope they can come up with a solution. I hope it's not an issue related to the reduced size of the RAM in the new ipods, otherwise there will never be a solution!
As it stands I'm gonna really simplify my playlists and keep my fingers crossed. I love playlists, they're a massive part of the whole ipod experience for me so scaling them back will be a real trade off but if it stops the resetting problems I'll have to do it. This is working for me so far so good luck to everyone else who has been having similar problems.

thank you so much for this information. I can not tell you, how helpful your posting is.
I had exactly the same problem, and I did follow your instructions - and for the first time in almost 3 month (and after hours and hours spent on my computer to try to resolve this problem), I am able to utilize the full capacity of my 160 GB iPod Classic.
It is very unfortunate, that I am currently not able to utilize my Folders and Playlists (just like you, I have hundreds of them which are a huge part of the iPod Experience), but at one point, my iPod was no longer able to start up and got stuck in a 're-boot' loop. After removing my most complex smart playlists, the problem disappeared (I did not remove them from iTunes, but I no longer synch them to my iPod).
So again, thanks for posting this information, and thanks for contacting Apple. I really hope, that this issue will be resolved in the next Firmware release.
FYI for anybody else who might read this post : Using the Tinker Tool (free download) makes it very easy to monitor/view the hidden files on your iPod.

Itunes 10 update on windows 7 makes it freeze and not respond

Ever since I updated my itunes to the newest version my itunes will freeze and not respond everytime I open it.
I use windows 7 and have not add-ons
any help

Many thanks.
That's consistent with an application (other than QuickTime itself) having dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Brand new Ipod touch 1g freezing up

I received a new ipod touch today because my old one had a bad ear jack. well i restored the new ipod from my old ipod back up. and every app i click on or song i play the ipod freezes up. i have restored it back to its original factory state and it still does it. I play Imob online and i can not even get passed the home screen anymore. it just freezes. This happens with other apps too. The only way i can get out of the freeze is to push and hold down the menu return button. what should i do to fix this?

Contact Apple ASAP and see if they can organise another replacement.
If a restore didn't work then it could indicate problems with the actual hardware, which can't be fixed by the user.

Track Pad Freeze

I placed an online order from apple.co.nz for a Macbook Pro Core i5 on the 16th of April 2010.
The Macbook Pro was delivered to me on the 20th April 2010.
I turned the Macbook Pro on and entered in the required details.
The Macbook Pro then loaded into MAC OSX.
I used the Macbook Pro form 5 minutes and found that the trackpad had locked up and was unable to move the mouse or click.
I rang apple support and the instructed me to turn off the Macbook Pro.
They told me to hold down a combination of keys to do a hardware reset, and then to turn the Macbook Pro back on.
The Macbook Pro track pad worked for another 5 minutes and I again rang apple support, again they instructed me to turn the Macbook Pro off and hold down another combination of keys.
I then turned the Macbook Pro on, and the track pad worked for 5 minutes then failed once again.
I again rang apple support who know wanted to see if it was a hardware or software problem.
I was instructed to boot the Macbook Pro from the Mac OSX dvd. The Mac OSX install started and after 5 minutes the trackpad failed again.
Apple support said it was a hardware fault and that I had to take it to a apple service depot.
I took the Macbook Pro to the apple service technician on the 21st of April, and they said they would order the parts in and let me know when it would be ready to pick up.
I waited till the 26th of April and heard nothing from the apple service tech. So I called. He said the part hadn’t arrived yet. Again I had to wait.
I got a call from the apple service tech on the 27th April saying that Apple had told them that there are no parts available and that I would have to arrange with apple to return the Macbook Pro and arrange a replacement. They said I had to come and pick the Macbook Pro up and organise it all myself.
So I picked up the Macbook Pro on the 27th April and rang apple. They said that a courier can be scheduled to pick it up on the 29th of April. I said that I will be away on that day and asked if I could drop it into the courier depot. They said that I cannot do this. I asked if they could pick it up on the 28th, again apple said that this was not possible. They said for me to pick a date for pick up so I said the 3rd of May and the apple employee said that it was all booked in, I asked for an expected time for pickup, they said between 8am and 6pm... and that was all they could tell me, and I had to be there to sign something.
So the 3rd of May was yesterday, I wasted a whole day of waiting for someone to pick the package up, and no one came.
For starters, the Macbook Pro should have been in full funtioning order when it arrived, and now I have been waiting 2 weeks for something to be done with the defective device. The fact that they are being so slow and difficult when I am just trying to get a working Macbook Pro.
WHAT CAN I DO!!!!!
I again contacted apple asking why no one had picked the package up, no answers!
I now have to wait another 2 days for it to be picked up....

I have this issue also.
I have a 2008 MacBook Pro. It's worked flawlessly since but in the last few weeks the trackpad freezes randomly. Only way to get the mouse back is to fold the screen down and reopen. Then everything is fine.
I'm also running OSX 10.6.3

PSE 8 Editor freezes in Windows 7

I used to have vista and my PSE8 worked just fine. I switched to Windows 7 because there werent any compatibility issues... or so I thought. PSE 8 downloads just fine and organizer opens just fine. Editor wont open... freezes and runs my computer very slow. It shows up in the task manager under processes but i dont see the program to use it.
I need serious help, please! I've been on the phone with adobe tech support for 2 months now saying they will call back in 3 days and never do. I've done all the "solutions" on the website with no luck.
Any ideas on how to fix the issue? I've noticed a lot of others having the same problem and I wonder what they have done to fix it or if they havnt fixed it what do they do in the mean time? Is there another product I can buy? Can adobe give me a free copy of a product that does work?
Please PLease Help!!

Hi,
I would like to know whether organiser or editor crashes ?
If its organiser then there is something related to Catalog.
Try these steps :
1. Goto this location : C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\ -- (program data is hidden folder by default , you will need to unhide it)
2. Under this location you will find all the catalogs that were created by you
3. Choose your default catalog.
4. In that select and delete all the folders except Breezedata and file with extension .pse8db
5. Relauch your organiser and then check if its stil crashing.
Thanks,
Baljeet

Photoshop/Premiere Elements 11 Freeze When Getting Media

Hello Everyone,
Whenever I start Elements Organiser, there is an on-screen message that there are files ready to import and that the Organiser will now import these files into the Catalog. Then a "Getting Media" box displays and, at some point, say 56%, the "racing cursor" appears and the programme does nothing more. It just freezes and eventually there is a Windows message stating that the programme is not responding. This happens in Elements/Premiere 11. I reinstalled Elements 6 and the file importing works quickly and without problem in that version of Elements.
This is a new, custom-built PC, running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. 16 Gb memory. Adobe programmes were installed for 64-bit OS exactly as directed in Adobe instructions. All hardware drivers are up to date. No other problems with any other software, just Adobe's Elements 11 bundle !
Suggestions ? Solutions ? Other, older Adobe programmes work just fine. When will Adobe correct these programming bugs ? Will they ever ?
Thank you in advance for any helpful advice.
Sincerely,
Rafi C.

Hello,
Well, actually, I think on my machine it is 'services.msc'. Yes, I found it and it doesn't help with the problem of the 'getting media' process freezing. I have gone so far as to remove ALL media from this machine, and STILL the programme displays images as it tries to import files that aren't there. This problem is ALSO duplicated on our old WIN7 32-bit machine and also on a neighbour's WIN7 32-bit machine, all with different copies of Elements 11.
At this point, my question is quite specific: where is PSE11 finding media files that are no longer there ?
I am just happy that our old PSE6 works like a charm--no problems there. Too bad those programmers are probably long retired ! What I'm going to do now is basically write off the Organiser as a waste of time and money. I'm putting shortcuts on the Desktop to the PSE andPRE 11 editors. And will install Picasa and use that to sort our media files.
But, in the meantime, again, where is Origaniser finding downloaded media files that have been removed ? Is there a file within PSE11 Organiser that we can delete ?
Many thanks for your help.
Rafi C.

Elements 11: Organiser always crashes when closing Editor

Hi there! I have had Elements 11 on my desktop for about two months with no problem. In the last few weeks, every time I exit the editor, the organiser crashes, freezes and needs to shut down. I have tried deleting the preferences using Shift, Ctrl, Alt on start up of the organiser, which temporarily fixes the issue, but only until next time I open Elements. I am running Windows 7, 64 bit. How do I fix this? Thanks very much

You mention stopping active file monitor, but you don't say anything about stopping autoanalyzer, which is far more likely to cause this than anything mentioned in your post. (organizer preferences>media analysis, shut off everything except face recognition, if you use that)
