Photos in Elements Organizer 8 have developed a ? mark on the thumbnail. Cannot print.

Some of my photos in Elements Organizer 8 have developed a ? mark on the thumbnail. I no longer can print a photo from these. How do I get rid of the problem?

Thank you for a prompt reply, the photos have not been moved or deleted. The only thing in common is all problem photos were originally sent via e-mail. The files go missing without any action on my part after a few months. I can get the missing file to give a computer location, but cannot get the system to “reinstate” the photo in elements to be printed.

No, you will have to replace the switch or do an out-of-warranty replacement at an Apple Store.

How to export photos from Elements Organizer on Mac?

I saw someone asked the same question and it seemed not to be possible with the Mac version. Surely this can't be possible as this must be one of the single most important functions in an Archving system.

The problem is I can't move them to a new folder. If I could I wouldn't have the export problem. I just dragging and dropping but it doesn't work. I have made a selection (15) of photos in Elements Organizer but I can't identify which ones they are (from 300) in the Mac Finder app (= Windows Explorer).
Sorry, I can't test that on a Mac, but I thought that 'Windows only' features would be stated on the Adobe pdf help file, and moving file is not mentionned as Windows only, whereas 'export' is clearly stated as Windows only.

By the way, the very useful faq list in the right panel of this forum links to PSE9, not PSE10 for the location of the guides.

Has anyone else experienced this?
I stacked some photos, now I cannot expand them or unstack them in the organizer.
This is for both auto and manual stacking.

Please press Ctrl+D to move to the older grid and now the stack option should be enabled.

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

I have a question mark in the place of my mail's icon and i cannot get into my email. I found my email folder in the library ,but it is not in applications. How do i get my email back ?

you should look in your applications folder to see if mail is still there. the dock icon is pointing to mail being in your applications folder. it has probably been moved or deleted for some reason from the app folder. do a spotlight search for your mail program. if it is still on your computer, move it back to the applications folder and when you click the question mark, it should see it is back and open. The email folder in your library shouldn't have to be touched. you need mail.app itself.

Hi, All my music files have an exclamation mark on the left and when I tunes asks me to locate a window opens with I Tunes folders but I still cant see my music library . What can i do? Thanks

The red exclamation mark indicates that itunes cannot find your files.
Are the music files still on your harddrive. Look n Finder
Username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
If the files are there then keep the option key pressed and open iTunes. A dialog box will open asking you to choose your library. Select Choose and then navigate to the Music/iTunes Folder and click OK

I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto: "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?

iPhoto 08?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

What is the best way to upload Android photos to Elements Organizer 8?

I have a new Android phone but the Droids are not compatible with Adobe Revel. I can easily upload the photos to Revel using the Revel app, but as you know, I cannot edit from Revel and many photos cannot be brought into Elements Organizer and from there to the Editor. How do I do this and how best do I edit?
Thank you.

You can edit files in Elements and then upload them to Revel from your hard drive. If you are on a PC, you can use adoberevel.com and import there from your hard drive. (If you use Mac, you can import to Revel in the Mac app, but you can also edit from within the Revel app). If the file is only in Revel, you can export it to the PC, edit in Elements, and then import to Revel.
Until we release the Android app, you have the option to use the android uploader to import photos into Revel:
Revel Uploader for Android mobile devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.revel.importer
You can also go to a web browser on your Android device and login to adoberevel.com as you do on a PC.
To be notified when Revel is available for Android:
go to http://www.photoshop.com/products/revel
scroll down and look on the right side where it says "coming soon- Notify me" for android. Click and you can sign up to be notified.
I hope that helps.

Elements 8 when in file location view the thumbnail is not the right photo

When I click on a file folder location the thumbnail that opens in not the right photos for that file folder. I have run catalog repair and optomized the catalog. I don't know much about the database but think it must be messedup. I need to move my photo's to a external hard drive as my laptop hard drive is full. This is when I first saw this problem. I have moved only 8 photos. I have a about 4500 photos and did not want to have to move them one at a time. Also I store everything by date. I have elements 8 and primiere 8 with windows 7

I am not sure how to do this but I do have more than one EHD that I could use. I can backup to one hard drive and restore to another. Will this move the catalog file from my internal hard drive to the EHD? If so what does that do to my internal hard drive that has the program files orginal installed on them. Guess what I need is a step by step instructions as I have not done this before and don't want to loss everything but could reinsall if I have to. If it come to that would like to have my photos on the EHD and upgrade my program to PSE 10. or maybe move to lightroom if that is a better program. I am at a stand still as my internal hard drive can't hold any more.
First step is to create a backup on one of your external hard disks. This will be useful anyway, should you upgrade computer or PSE version later.
- create a new folder in the external disk.
- start the backup from the organizer file menu, choose a backup name and select the destination drive and the folder you created. Note the size of the backup to be sure you have enough space on the external disk. It's good to have twice the necessary space.
Wait for the message telling the backup is finished ; don't close the organizer too soon, this message does not appear immediately.
You can check if the backup is complete by looking into the destination folder. It should contain a backup.tly file.
This backup can be used to restore your catalog and image files either to the original location or any location on any disk.
Now, you are ready to restore your backup to another external drive.
Same as before, create a new folder with the name you want to give to the new catalog.
Run the menu restore and choose 'custom location'
The restore will create a new catalog of the name of the folder, and put both the files constituting the catalog and the folder structure of your image files in the folder you created.
As a result, you'll have a new catalog to be found in the catalog manager under 'custom location', which means it is situated on your second external hard drive.
If you want to move the catalog to the default location on your old drive, that's possible from the file menu of the organizer. This will move your catalog, not your image files. It's not necessary, but you can do it.
Nothing will be changed to your old computer, so you'll be able to compare the old and new catalogs and the original and the copies of your images.

Elements organizer: Geo Tags - why not in the meta-data ?

Hi again,
Some of my Photos have geotags (i.e. GPS-Information) in the meta data. Elements Organizer finds it - all right.
Now when i put a Geotag to a photo (without GPS-Information in the meta data) with elements organizer it also works, but there is still no Information in the GPS meta data.
Why is that?
Where is the GPS Information stored, when not in the metadata?
Thanks to all!

I do use the Elements Organizer, but not to great extent.
So, please review the following and then let me know if you have been there and found that already.
If I setup a photo GeoTag in the Elements Organizer 13/13.1, after that I see
a. The description of the GeoTag itself in Tags/Place Tags
b. When I select the GeoTagged image in the Elements Organizer browser, the Image Tags information
for that photo is shown at the bottom of the Information/Image Tags column at the right.
c. The GeoTab information appears as a caption under the zoomed in photo in the Elements Organizer Browser.
If the GeoTab image is saved as in Photoshop Elements 12/13.1 and imported back into the Elements Organizer, the GeoTagging is recognized.
I do not see GeoTab information elsewhere in the Elements Organizer nor in the Photoshop Elements Editor
(File Info or other) at that point.
Please remind me if you have Photoshop Elements 13/13.1 as well as the Premiere Elements 13/13.1. I need to explore
the possibility of adding metadata into the program by pointing to Photoshop Elements Editor/File Menu/File Info. If that is at
all possible, it looks like you are facing creating xmp templates. Have never been there and done that.
In the Elements Organizer itself, I suspect what we do not see is being supplied by the Elements Organizer catalog behind
the scenes. But, please check out the Elements Organizer 13 Help PDF Chapter 6 Adding Metadata to see if there is anything
there that you do not already know.

For the best possible answer and not assumptions and any unlikely scenarios from me, you are probably best served putting this GeoMapping question before the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum people if you do not get some Adobe help on this.

In Windows 7 I mistakenly un-installed Adobe Application Manager and all applications (CS3E, CS5 and Elements 6) have disappeared from programs on the start menu

WIN7: Mistakenly un-installed Adobe Application Manager and now all Adobe apps (CS3, CS5 and Elements 6) have disappeared from the programs list in the start up menu.
CS5 Bridge is still there so I can get into the photo editor to de-activate it and re-install.
However, all of CS3 has disappeared so I cannot get into it to de-activate.
Question 1: Will downloading and re-installing Adobe Application manager get CS3 automatically back?
Question 2: If not, what to do to get CS3 back things working properly again? Remember, I can't de-activate it.
Thanks and have a happy day!

Don't worry about activation unless you are installing on a new and different machine. Simply reinstall in order. It should all work.
Then install any updates. Product updates
After that, let me know how it went and if there are any further questions.
