Photo Album starter 2 or 3 - error

1. there was a problem opening the catalog named "my catalog" Another user or application may have the catalog open, or one or more files maybe missiing, ou tof date or damaged.
The ODBC data source returned the following error:
"Mircrosoft ODBC Driver Manager Data source name not found and no default driver specified:
Attempt too compact and recover this catalog, then open again? OK
A problem was encountered during catalog recovery. Your catalog may be OK, but if you experience problems with it that can't be resolved through the recover Catalog option or restarting your computer system, you may need ot restore this catalog from a backup.
Unable to open catalog named "my Catalog" because the file is damaged.
Please select an action to perform: Open an existing catalog or Create a new catalog named My Catalog-3.psa"
None of this works, none of the information given by Adobe seems to work. What is going on, and how do I fix it.

After several false starts, I found this fix that works in an earlier thread:
Mike Bibbings - 6:52am Aug 9, 05 PST (#10 of 15)
Try the following it worked for me on 2 PCs each with Windows XP (Home) SP2
1. Click Start, Run and type cmd, this will bring up a command prompt
2. (For Win XP) Type in: cd c:\windows\system32, press enter
(For Win 2000) Type in: cd c:\winnt\system32, press enter
3. Type in: odbcconf /f odbcconf.rsp, press enter
This should configure your odbc according to the response file (odbcconf.rsp).

  • How to stop using Adobe Photo Album Starter upon Sync

    Two questions:
    1. How do I stop the stupid Adobe Photo Album Start program from running every time I connect my phone? It takes forever to get up to speed, and now that I have over 1100 photos on the phone it always crashes.
    2. Doesn't iTunes allow me to sync the photos to my hard drive? I'd rather they just get backed up in a folder and be done with it.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Mik

    Photos are in a special area on the phone that acts like any other digital camera (thus you don't sync them with iTunes).
    You take them off via what ever default software you have for digital camera (appears to be that Adobe software).
    Next time you connect....once done doing it's thing, go to My Computer. You should see the iPhone listed as a Camera/Scanner. RIGHT click on it and choose properties. On the next window there is a tab about Events or something like that. Choose it. There it lists what to do when it detects it connecting. Change it to Ask or whatever. From there on out, you will find it easier to use the built in Camera Wizard to just get photos off (or choose do nothing and then you can browse to it like a folder from the same location off My Computer and just copy them off)

  • Adobe Photoshop Album Starter 3.2  gives error when plugging in iPhone 3G

    So, I plug my iPhone iunto my laptop... iTunes opens... Adobe Photoshop Album Starter 3.2 starts up to backup/transfer photos... and then I get:
    Fatal Error
    Adobe Photoshop Album Starter 3.2 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    Error code: c0000005
    Address: 7c911895
    Tried dowbloading app again... didn't help.
    HELP!  Thanks

    I have a similar problem with my new iphone 4, but I never had the problem with my previous iphone 3g.
    Your post seems promising. However, you say ''right click on the APD icon in the system tray (it must be resembling a small camera) and select disable''. Unfortunatlely I don't know where to find '' the system tray''. Control Panel has a system folder but I can't find any access to an icon resembling a camera. Also, I am used to using Adobe Photoshop downloader. Since it worked with my previous iphone, can't it be made to work with the iphone 4?

  • Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 error c0000005

    When I try to get pictures from my iphone via Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2, it has to close with error C0000005.
    I'm disappointed that I have to use 3rd party software to get photos on and off my iphone. I thought Apple made products that were easy to use. Just seems like the same crap from a different manufacturer (can you tell I'm frustrated?). Not to mention all the limitations with the iphone if you actually want to use it for business ....

    You don't need to use 3rd party software - iPhoto will do it automatically once you set it up.
    Connected your iPhone to your computer. iTunes then opens up. Select your iPhone under Devices, in the left column. Then click the Photos tab in the main window. Check the box that says, "Sync photos from:" Then, iPhoto will open every time you sync. You'll have the option to import the Photos from your phone and you'll be able to chose if the original stays on your phone or is deleted.

  • Recovered Photos album automatically created, but no error messages.

    Previously when I opened iPhoto, I received a message (or rather 2 {I believe} duplicate messages) about importing recovered photos. I clicked OK and it created a Recovered Photos album, but its contents were empty. I deleted this album by putting it into iPhoto's Trash. When I reopened iPhoto, I received the message again, but this time it created a "Recovered Photos 2" album.
    I quit iPhoto and deleted the Import folder from my iPhoto Library. Now I don't get any messages, but the Recovered Photos (not Recovered Photos 2) album is still there. If I trash it and restart iPhoto, the it is automatically created again.
    How can I stop iPhoto from automatically creating the Recovered Photos album? I'm not receiving any error messages or messages whatsoever.

    Addendum to all about this question - I am trying to import my original CDs - hangs and does nothing at first track. Trashed the .plist, no help. Reinstalled fresh copy of iTunes - helped - FOR ONE DISK. After that, same problem.

  • Placing photo albums in order

    Hi all!
    First thing first, I work in a photography studio in Spain and all of our tech stuff is Apple. We love it and it goes great until.... it doesn't!
    Me and my boss use our iPads very often for presentations, we have most of our pictures (over 15 thousand) in the iPad, we have them in iPhoto organized in albums and sync them with iTunes. All was nice and smooth, then iOs 5.0 came around and we loved it, iCloud and all the other goodies are great for the office but the photo part started acting weird. All of a sudden the photo albums started having a strange random order, an order that would change every time we sync with iTunes. Having over 50 albums their order is key for smooth presentations with clients and partners. So I started calling the Apple assistance, went to the store, over and over and over and no one seemed to know why this happens until someone at the Apple store told me to delete the iPod Photo Cache folder from inside the iPhoto library and the magic happened: finally the pictures were syncing right! Phew!! But then we started realizing that every single time we sync we need to delete the iPod Photo Cache folder or the order goes nuts again..
    I tried Aperture and it's great but same problem: the albums are in the right order in iTunes when I sync them but then in the device they are in some random weird order that makes no sense.
    So the question is: can you advise a way to effectively sync pictures between the mac and the iPad so that albums appear in an order I defined my photo software (iPhoto/Aperture/MS Paint/whatever)? Is there any third-party app that would do that? ANY help will be rewarded with huuuuuge amounts of greatfulness for the rest of my life
    Gracias!

    I'm not sure there is an order because even if I have not added any photos to my iPhoto albums, the order always changes every time I sync.
    When I do add photos to existing albums, or even great new albums, they don't follow alphabetical order like they do in iPhoto. Some albums stay where they are, others don't follow along.

  • Need help regarding Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0

    Thanks in advance for helping me.
    When I got a new camera about 4 years ago, it came with this software. I loaded it up, but never used it. I normally just create a new folder on my desktop and click and drag the shots from the computer to the desktop. I do this by just opening up my computer, find the external drive and then click and drag.
    Here is the problem though. My wife decided to download photos from my daughters b-day party. When she plugged in the card reader, this photo album starter automatically opened and started to drag the photos into the program.
    Although this shouldn't be a problem it is a large issue. Since I never used the product, I never registered for it either. So when I just tried to register for it, it told me the program is no longer able to be registered for. And when I hit the register later button, it shuts down the program. Therefore, it will not allow me to grab the photos and save them to a file on my desktop.
    Can anyone tell me a way around this, please?

    You need to ask in the Photoshop Album Starter Edition forum.

  • How can I unlock my Adobe Photo Album?

    I have a registered Adobe Photo Album Starter Edition 3.2.  and I have an issued unlock code. This week my computer was repaired and since it's return I cannot unlock the program to get into my album.  I have been on "chat" but they can't help me. Hope you can!

  • I can't use my photoshop album starter Edition anymore!!!!

    I downloaded adobe photo album starter edition 3 software sometime ago with windows home Edition,Toshiba laptop (Equium), with 256 RAM and i was told to redgister online but i could not because i was told that I'm not connected to the internet whereas I'm connected. Please help me out because i do not want to loose all my pix. Thanks.

    You might want to try [temporarily] disabling your firewall in order to register.
    > i do not want to loose all my pix
    How do you mean? PSA SE only catalogs what's on your hard drive. It's availability does not affect whther the files are there or not.

  • Error message when I try to publish an iWeb photo album with audio to Mobileme:

    I get the following error message when trying to publish a photo album with audio from iWeb to Mobileme.  I've checked my account and I have plenty of available space on Mobileme and have logged in there.
    An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/qg/qg-Qwo-82RWdDU+8ZNhusU+++TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.i Web_9121_TEMP_344183369_3/sites/Site/Grand_Canyon_11_Slideshow_part_1_2_files/or iginal_2.jpg”. Try publishing again later.
    Is there a problem with my photos or other content (I've added some songs to play in the slideshow)
    Dan H.

    First see if you can publish your site to a folder on your hard drive.  You can select the folder by clicking on the site's folder in iWeb and using the Publish To: menu.
    If that's successful try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Lost Photos in Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2

    My email stated that my photos were transfered to Revel. Only one photo switched. The rest are stuck at Adobe Photoshop Album starter edition 3.2. I can see my photos are sitting there but are stuck behind the product registeration looking for a product unlock code. This product stopped being supported in 2009. So, I have no unlock code. I was able to access my photos in the beginning of May but now that it transfered to Revel, they are being held hostage.

    Files were only copied from Photoshop.com to Revel, not from any other place. You may try this link to see if you can unlock your other files, and then you can upload them to Revel from your hard drive:

  • After registering on the album starter Edition 3.0, I am getting an error message saying that windows internet explorer cannot find the website, to make sure the path or internet address is correct.  when i click ok, it all goes away, adobe and all.  Help

    I called tech support that switched me to customer care and after over half an hour on the phone, they told me to look it up in the forums.  If you have any words of wisdom, I would love to hear them now.  I guess I have to get through this registering phase to obtain the unlock code.  I am surprised at how faulty this step is.  I expected more from Adobe.
    Please help!!!  Thanks.  Lisa

    You need to update your starter edition 3.0 to a 3.2 edition. Go to www.adobe.com, click on "Downloads" then "updates", continue to look under "Product updates" and scroll down to "Photoshop Elements". Now you need to download the Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2. This update will automatically remove your 3.0 edition, and your photos will be accessible in the 3.2 edition. Now you can register again. Good Luck!
