PS Elements 12 Locks up as soon as Organizer starts

I installed Elements 12 on my new computer and imported my backup file from Elements 8 on the old computer.  The photos all came across and the catalog was converted.  However, as soon as I start Organizer, Elements closes down.  I am using Windows 8.

  • ITunes locking up as soon as it starts after updating it, please help.

    My iTunes updated to the latest update last night. When it restarted, it immediatly comes up with the "Updating iTunes Library" window in front of iTunes and gets half way there and freezes. I cannot close it or do anything except close it out with Task Manager in Windows Vista. Then, iTunes, on it's own, keeps starting itself back up over and over and over with the same result. It loads as if I had clicked it to start and I have not, and before I can try to click anything, the "Updating iTunes Library" window comes up and it freezes again. I have to go into task manager and keep closing out iTunes as it keeps starting itself up over and over as if someone was clicking it and trying to start it, but if I leave it alone, it just sits there locked up and frozen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and it does the exact same thing. Is anyone else having this issue or is there anyone that can help me?

    I have almost the same issue:
    After update of iTunes, starting up iTunes will result in a lockup with a window telling you it is updating the iTunes library.
    Running Windows 7, 64 bit, US.
    iTunes version 10.whatever (I wish I could tell, but it locks-up).

    When you click on the Text icon, PSE has to enumerate all the fonts installed on your system and build its font selection menu from that info.  It can take a while, so wait it out. Ken

  • Elements 9 locks up after I delete a few photos?

    Elements 9 locks up after I delete a few pictures.  i have to shut down elements and restart it and sometimes i have to reboot my computer just to continue to use it.  It is a real pain in the neck.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but this didn't work and now my editor will not work it says that i have it installed on two different machines.  You would think the program would be smart enough to recognize that it was reinstalled on the same machine.  My computer is brand new i spent a little over $3,000 on it.  I think this is a software issue.  Possibly a conflict with another program but i'm not sure.  I'm running windows 7 Professional,with an i7 core and 16 gigs of memory and top rated Asus video card.  I've only been using Eements 9 for about half a year.  i'm worried about upgrading because i don't want to pay the money to have the same problems.  Can anyone help me?

    When Photoshop locks up I do not get an erro message.  What i mean is that i can no longer move from on photo to another photo.  I can leave the screen that shows a large photo to the screen that shows thumbnails.  But once i leave the large photo I can not double click on a photo to see it in a large view.  If i wish to do this then i need to shut down photoshope and restart it.  Also my facial recognition stopped working about the same time i started to have a problem with photo shop locking up.  i haven't spoken to technical support becuase it is sunday i will try this monday when i get off of work.  i hope that I will be able to find a solution to my problem.

  • Elements 11 locks up when I attempt to Photomerge Group Shot

    Whenever I attempt to perform Photomerge, Elements 11 locks up. It's just that simple. I get the MAC beach ball, and the application locks up. I'm able to force Elements 11 to exit by executing Force Quit Application. This problem happens in Quick, Guided, and Expert modes. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks for your help.

    What version of Premiere Elements 11 are your using in presumed Mac computer? I suspect none, but, by the content of your question, rather Photoshop Elements 11 Mac.
    If that is the case, you have posted in the wrong forum. You want the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum and not the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing) where your thread is not displaying.
    Please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.

  • Elements Organizer crashes as soon as it starts

    On my desktop I cannot run Elements Organizer. I have tried running it from PRE and from PSE and also running it directly by running PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe. Organizer starts and quickly flashes the blue start screen and then immediately crashes to the error report.
    I have seen the suggestions to switch off Auo Analyzer, but this is not possible because this is an option inside of Organizer.
    I tried these apps on my Notebook and everything works fine, so I am sure that my installation software is not corrupt.
    I have un/re-installed. I have updated my nVidia drivers. I have closed down all other running utilities without success.
    Everything else on my desktop computer is running beautifully, so I cannot imagine what is causing this problem?

    Okay, here is the fix that worked for me. I found this on the website.
    If a photo upload to an online service fails, the Organizer may then crash every time you try to restart it. Reinstalling has no effect. To troubleshoot this, start the Organizer and let it crash. Then check the contents of the file:PSE 8 XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username [mine was Administrator]\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\v.8\Organizer\log.txt
    If the last line of the text is "Initializing OLS" then you have a problem.
    To fix it:
    Close all open applications.
    In Windows Explorer for Windows XP, Navigate to C:Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Application Date\Adobe\Online Services.
    Delete the Photoshop Elements 7.0.0 folder.
    Open the Photoshop Elements 7 Organizer. The program will re-create the Photoshop Elements 7.0.0 folder and the online services data files.
    Good luck. It worked for me - and I am definitely not a techie!!

  • Firefox (Linux) crashes as soon as it "starts" and the saved tabs won't go away no matter what, profilemanager doesn't work, only opens another firefox.

    My firefox on linux ubuntu 9.1 ALWAYS crashes on startup. But only on my regular logon (is it another Profile?), it says hrtimer_nanosleep on system monitor on the firefox_bin. It just did that one time and i can't get it to work. It crashes as soon as i start firefox with the tabs that were upp when it started crashing. Safe-mode is tested and did not work. I saw something about deleting / create new profile. but when i type in firefox -ProfileManager its only starts up another firefox that crashes. And i also saw that someone erased a file named secmod.db. I do NOT have this file. The whole firefox/mozilla files are all messed up in my system but where do i find the profile? It's all a mess this thing. and it's making me kinda pissed.

    If that does not work,
    Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
    Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

  • Upgraded to Creative Cloud from elements 9 where images are stored in Organizer.  How do I bring them into Creative Cloud and should I download them to Lightroom, Bridge, or Photoshop itself?  Any suggestions?

    It's important to keep in mind that the picture files are NOT stored in the Organizer. They are not stored in Lightroom or Bridge either...
    The organizer is based on a catalog which stores the pictures properties, mainly the location of the pictures on your drive(s). It's the same idea of catalogs in Lightroom, and the nice thing is that Lightroom can convert organizer catalogs to its own format. The most obvious way for you will be to use Lightroom.
    Bridge is a file browser which is a different way than to use catalogs.

  • After installing Photoshop Elements 12  Organizer starts OK but Editor starts then immediately terminates with no error messages. Suggestions appreciated.

    After new install of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 editor will start but just terminates/disappears with no error message. The organizer starts and runs OK   Win7/64 with latest maintenance  i73770, Nvida GTX 670 16 GB memory. Install log shows no errors. Same thing happened with Adobe Premier Elements 12.

  • Install freezes as soon as it starts

    I just tried to install OS X Mountain Lion, but as soon as it starts the install, it seems to freeze.  It says continuously "Time remaining:  About 34 minutes" but the blue line isn't twisting and moving to show progress.  Seems frozen.  I have tried pressing the power button to turn it off, wait a few minutes, then press power button again, but when it comes up, it starts install over and freezes at the very start, with just the smallest sliver of blue on the far left of the measurement that tells how far along the install is.
    What is UP with this, and why is the install hanging up like this?

    If you are waiting three hours and the progress bar is unchanging, then you have a problem.
    If you simply see it freeze and immediately label the install broken, I recommend being a little more patient. Progress bars have a tendency to be less than helpful when indicating the actual progress of anything.
    When installing the system there are gigabytes of data that must be moved and processed. You should expect the install to take about thirty minutes of real time, and you can expect the progress bar to be wildly inaccurate.

  • HT204291 The Wi-Fi was disconnected on iPad Air as soon as I started AirPlay Mirroring. Just happened in recent week.

    The Wi-Fi was disconnected on iPad Air as soon as I started AirPlay Mirroring. Just happened in recent week. Is it happening to your device too?

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.
    If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

  • Elements Organizer starts every time

    Almost every time I start Photoshop Elements 9 the "Elements Organizer" starts and can take 20 to 30 minutes to search for new files among my 15,000 plus pictures.  I had to reinstall Elements 9 because the first time it didn't find all my pictures, only about half.  I am loosing so much time waiting for the "Organizer" to do its thing that, though I have used earlier versions beginning with version 2, I wonder if I need to look elsewhere.  I would hate to loose my dozens of tags but the time I am wasting now I could use doing tags on another product.  I hope I can get help so I don't need to do that.  How can I stop this from happening?

    In Organizer, use File...Watch Folders and de-select the option to watch your folders.

    I would suggest un-installing via the Windows control panel and then download again and re-install. Try an alternative link and validate with your 24 digit serial number - click here for PSE downloads
