Photoshop Elements 6 - Organiser Hangs - XP

For the last couple of months, when I open the Organiser it just hangs and I have to force it to shut down. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

John,
I tried running this. Here are the results:
psedbtool version 1.03
Opening catalog C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\Main\catalog.psedb
Photoshop Elements version: 6
Total files : 560
Total files missing : 0
Total files offline : 0
PSE Volume Table
Path used by PSE : C:
Status : online
Total files : 560
Total files missing : 0
Description : C:
Serial : 3CFF-D4D2
Drive_path_if_builtin: C:
Type : builtin_drive
Id : 104
Windows Drives
Drive Type Serial Path
A: removable_drive 0000-0000
C: builtin_drive 3CFF-D4D2
D: readonly_drive 0000-0000
Unfortunately, doesn't seem to shed any light. Main issue is that PSE only sees 560 jpg files, but I have many more that it won't import.
BTW, here's the error message that I get (most recently when trying to import a single jpg file that I know is not in the Catalog):
"Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this Catalog"

  • Organizer in Photoshop Elements 8 hangs

    I have PhotoShop Elements 8 (boxed DVD) installed on a HP Elite desktop with Intel i-core 7 processor with Windows 7 - 64 bit operating system. The PSE 8 organizer will not load and hangs up. The editior, however, loads. Unistalled and reinstalled the software and the results are the same. Any suggestions. I have also asked for support at ADOBE technical support.

    I see you were able to help someone that was experiencing Elements Organizer 8 hanging.  I tried going to your link, but couldn't get to the correct spot.  Maybe its changed?
    I have Photoshop Elements 8.0 and Premier Elements 8.0. I was uploading photos to Shutterfly today when my computer went to sleep. When I brought the computer back I got a screen saying preparing Elements and all the pictures were visable. The screen was frozen. I couldn't stop it and so I proceeded with a Start / Shutdown.
    Now after rebooting when it came to the Elements Welcome screen it said an error had occurred and wanted me to report it.
    After several reboots I am unable to open Organizer. It seems to be going through start up process, but then just stops. The messages in the right hand corner say loading messages and then stop. I can open the Editor fine, but also can import images from Organizer or open Organizer from the Editor.
    Same problems in Premier. Editor opens, but Organizer does not.
    I have tried the suggestion of opening Organizer straight from the .exe file rather than the welcome window, but have the same issue as menitioned... I get a quick flash of the blue start up page and then its gone.
    - I have rebooted several times.
    - Uninstalled Quicktime - Adobe help menu said it could cause problems.
    - Deleted Temporary files.
    - Went to Services.msc and restarted the Adobe Active File Monitor v8
    - another page said to press CTRL/ALT/SHIFT while trying to open ORganizer from the Welcome Screen, but that also didn't work.
    NOthing has helped so far.
    I'm sure hoping I can get this working without having to reinstall. I've done a lot of tagging of pictures and would hate to lose that.
    PS:  I have been using Organizer just fine for many years without issue on the same computer.
    Thanks,
    BZ
    Bingo! After several hours of trying different things, this finally did it...
    PSE 7: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408913.html
    The PSE 7 tech note also applies to PSE 8 – replace 7.0 with 8.0 in the folder name it says to delete.
    I deleted the folder "Photoshop Elements 8.0.0" found in this location:
    C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Online Services\

  • How to move photos to external harddrive with Photoshop Elements Organiser 9 - Mac user

    I have managed to move a few photos using the organiser to an external harddrive as a trial but noticed that the photos are all stored straight onto the external harddrive and not kept in the subfolders that they are in on my harddrive. Is there a way to keep them in the subfolders - which is basically mostly folders indicating the date they were taken?
    I also noticed that PSE 9 organiser is very slow - I have a lot of photos and a lot in raw - about 21000. Is it better to use LR to catalogue them?
    Last question, has anyone else experienced problems since upgrading to Mavericks when using PSE9? Is there a fix? I read that upgrading to Yosemite has improved how PSE9 works but after my previous experience with upgrading to Mavericks I am not in a rush to upgrade.
    Thanks

  • Photoshop elements 10 hangs

    The software for Sony VAIO VPCF 132  which is over a year old has developed a problem where it hangs on one page rendering the software useless.  How can it be repaired  or must it be replaced ?

    The editor prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
    Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
    You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Close down Elements and re-open it in the normal way - then wait whilst it rebuilds the preferences.

  • Unwanted folders in Photoshop Elements Organiser

    I've recently started using Photoshop Elements 13 on a new Windows 8.1 Laptop.
    I've started bringing some folders into the Organizer and have had some unwanted ones turn up...
    The unwanted folders have names like festive, confetti and album_16x9_c71ff90be.....  and they all appear to have a single music file in them and be located in the slideshow > themes > assets subfolder of Adobe. Given this folder isn't within the Pictures folder I've set Adobe to look at I don't how the folders have ended up in my Organizer.
    So, I'm seeking assistance to:
    - delete the unwanted folders and files from my organizer which I haven't figured out how to do; and
    - work out how they ended up there so I can make sure it doesn't happen again.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    - delete the unwanted folders and files from my organizer which I haven't figured out how to do;
    Have you tried going to Watch Folders options and then delete from there?  See this picture:
    To get to this screen, Launch the Organizer and then Go to:
    File >> Files folders  (this 5th item from the bottom)
    Good luck.

  • Photoshop elements organiser

    Can't open the editor from the organiser in elements 12 I get a message saying could not load fast core routines module and MMXcore routines module also multi processer support module in this version of photoshop. Can anyone explain what they are and how to rectify it.

    Hello,
    I have looked at similar items on the forum and one suggestion there has worked . This was to open Organiser with the shift key pressed. This brings up the catalog manager, I then made a new catalog and added some pictures: BINGO everything back to normal. I assume that I must have lost or corrupted the original catalog,

  • Photoshop Elements 9 hanging

    I was running PSE 9 on a Vista machine fine for several months. I recently got a new Windows 9 machine. Now Elements 9 Organizer seems to hang after a few minutes about every time I load it. I have tried turning off the Auto-analyzer but the problem persists. I need some help -- this is getting frustrating.

    try turning off mc afee ,in case you have one.

  • My photoshop elements organiser does not respond. I have tried reinstalling elements without success

    I am using Windows 8 and this problem has happened recently. The problem occurs whether I choose "EDIT" and try to click on "ORGANISER" or go directly to the Organiser. Any suggestions please, I am using Elements 9.

  • Premiere Elements file type for Elements Organiser

    I use PSE13 organiser ( for pictures and movies) and editor. I recently purchased Premiere Elements 13 and have just edited my first movie.
    I would like to only access Premiere Elements via the Photoshop Elements organiser, but I am unsure what file type to save my Premiere edited files, so that they can be imported and tagged in the Elements organiser, and also played via the elements organiser.
    I only want to run one organiser. Is this possible and what should I be saving my final Premiere files as after editing. ( in the same way that I save a PSD file to a JPG once editing is complete in elements editor.
    Thanks

    Your choice of export to conform to the support of the Elements Organizer seems limiting to me. But....
    If I have a 1080p30 Timeline in Premiere Elements 13 Editor project and export it
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30
    That file saved to the computer hard drive can be taken into the Elements Organizer 13
    a. displaying a thumbnail with an image from the video
    and
    b. can be played back in the Elements Organizer 13 player.
    I have not gone through all the export choices to sort out which formats will do likewise. But, this particular AVCHD.mp4 (1920 x 1080p30) result is
    as described.
    What is your export choice now and is the end product importing into the Elements Organizer 13, displaying there, and playing back from there?

  • Can't open jpg from Windows 7 Explorer in newly installed Photoshop Elements 11

    Elements opens but the image does not appear in the editor.
    Other people have reported similar problems but I cannot find a solution.

    I got hit with the same issue ... but found a simple clean answer (after a while):
    The "default program" ("recommended program" when you use "open with" in the explorer context) which is associated with a file extension ultimately points to the following command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 11.0.exe" "%1", which is the PSE Organiser
    This command didn't work for me (not even from the command line does this work, so it's a bug). I guess it gets hung up at the welcome screen in the background
    I changed the "default program" / "recommended program" to point directly to the Photoshop Elements Editor.  Then it works as it should.
    To do this cleanly, you need to delete the wrong "default program" entry by deleting the relevant entry in the Windows registry for each picture file extension associated with PSE 11:
    For example, on WIndows 7 64bit, the relevant registry entry for .cr2 files (Canon raw format) is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.cr2\OpenWi thList
    and may have several entries labled a, b, c...., one points to Photoshop Elements 11.0.exe - delete it.
    After the clean up, go into WIndows Control Panel, select Default Programs, Associate a file type or protocol with a program and then for the first file extension use "Browse" to find the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and select it  (mine was at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11).
    Afterwards, you need to do this for each additional file extension you want to link with PSE 11, but you can pick it now from the Recommended Programs list
    Since I only use raw and JPEG, I only needed to change this for .cr2 and .jpg - you may need others as well...
    If you are not sure which program (Organiser or Editor) is now shown under the "Recommended Progams" list when you use "open with" from Explorer? 
    Photoshop Elements Organiser
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 11
    Adobe Systems, Incoporated     <====== note the comma after Systems
    Photoshop Elements Editor
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 11
    Adobe Systems Incoporated      <====== note the absence of the comma after Systems
    Hope this gets you working more productively....

  • Photo Downloader APD hangs freezes in Photoshop Elements 9 when camera or iphone 4S selected

    I can't get any new images downloaded off my devices.  I usually do this with Photo Downloader in the Photoshop Elements 9 Organiser ... I go into Get Photos > from camera or card reader, then select the relevant device (iphone 4S or Canon 40D).  As expected it asks to select a device, whcih I do, but then it gets stuck on "connecting to devlce, please wait".  I first noticed this problem with my iphone 4S but have since not been able to download from camera either.
    I am running Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 9, using iphone 4S with latest version of software and latest itunes.
    I have tried:
    I have updated the software from within elements (detected camera raw 6.5 needs updating; done) and the problem persists.
    I have optimised/ repaired the catalog
    There seem to be threads relating to hanging when you try to change the location in downloader.  That is not my problem.  Camera raw 6.5 seemed to cause the problem in that case.  Today I have just updated my elements software (it detected camera raw 6.5 required installation so I suppose I must have been running the previous version of camera raw).  Hence camera raw 6.5 not the problem in this case?  If it's relevant, a hard drive search detects camera raw.8bi 16 Sept 2011 19012kb in c:\programfiles\commonfiles\adobe\plugins\elements9 as well as camera raw.8BI with 8 Sept 2010 10179kb in c:\program files\adobe\adobe premiere elements 9\apd\photo downloader\plugins
    This happened around the time I upgraded the iphone 4S software (friday 24 August 2012) to the latest version.
    Thanks for reading
    Kimberley

      To check that the update installed correctly go to the Editor menu and click:
    Help >> About Plug-in >> Camera Raw
    You should see a pop up with the version number.
    Press Esc to close.

    I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

    It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.
