PS Elementts 12 Organizer not opening

Hello,
     I recently received Elements 12 as a gift. I have never used any of the PS Elements programs before. I have tried t open organizer and it will load for like 20 seconds and then stops, it did this on the welcome screen and through editor. I tried to switch my shortcut to always open in organizer and now the shortcut will not even work. I have also received now 3 emails to confirm my email address and each time it says it is verified (not sure if this is pertinent to my problem or not). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ah, apparently you didn't read through what I said. I tried the first few solutions offered in the previous forum thread that I linked to -- this was one of them. I have that already turned off. When I go into manage catalogs and try to open the converted catalog, it opens it, promptly says it is Restoring People Recognition Data, and about 5% in, it crashes. Same exact point every time. I try to hit cancel to stop it; doesn't work. ALL Media Analysis is turned off. I've also got the Automatically Generate Thumbnails for Video Files turned off.
Next suggestion?
Could I load in from a backup catalog? I do have my catalog backed up fairly recently.

  • PSE 12 organizer not opening catalog

    First time opening organizer in PSE 12, just bought and installed.
    On Windows 7. Previously had PSE 8. Told it to convert catalog, but every time it opens, it starts doing the face recognition process, and promptly crashes.
    Have tried the first few solutions in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1305821?tstart=0
    Stopped at entry #6, as I could not find the folder they were describing. And I am not interesting in downloading sqlite.
    Any solutions to offer now?

  • Elements 12 editor will not open from Organizer

    Problem started about three weeks ago.
    When I am in Adobe elements organizer and try to bring a photo into adobe elements editor it will say that it is going to open up the editor for about a minute then it will never open the editor. It will do this no matter if I right click on the picture to edit, click the edit button at the bottom of the screen, or if I go to the context menu and click edit. The adobe editor will open and I can manually open a file into it form the adobe editor program but the the editor use to work just by right clicking on the picture and selecting edit. I have checked the preferences in organizer and adobe elements editor is the only one listed not external editor is checked.  I tried to add adobe elements editor as the external editor to see if I could get it too work that way but the program will not allow me to do that. I have also tried the ctrl - shift - alt and clear the settings and that solution does not work either. I have tried restarting the PC, uninstall and reinstall, and installed any or all updates to the program and OS. Why has this stopped working?

    Two suggestions:  the first one is a workaround. You just have to drill down your program file tree to Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer and find the .exe file - the one specifically for Organizer, not Elements.  Make a shortcut to that file on your desktop and it will open Organizer. The second suggestion resolved the problem altogether for me. I actually called Dell and after working with several different techs over several different days, I talked to a tech in premium support who was excellent. I discovered from them that it is actually a problem with the windows system files. I have 8.1.  I went through a "refresh" on my computer which rebuilt all the files. Then reinstalled Adobe as well as my other programs again and Photoshop Elements Organizer works from the standard desktop shortcut.

  • Organizer will not open after I tried backing up photos on external hard drive on Mac. Editor opens, but not Organizer. This is a repost of a problem first reported 10 days ago.

    Organizer will not open after I tried backing up photos on an external hard drive on Mac. Editor opens, but will not launch Organizer. Have tried clearing the catalogs, but nothing works. This was first reported 10 days ago. Had to be out of the country for a week - without photoshop working-- and now I'm back with the same problem. Can someone please help, or do I dump this and try to get some help just reloading the program?

    It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
    To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
    Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

  • Photoshop Elements 5.0 Organizer suddenly does not open

    I've been using Photoshop Elements 5.0 for over a decade without any problems.  Suddenly, the Organizer will not open.  I can open the Editor but not the Organizer.  What the ---- ????

    Thanks for replying with a potential solution.  When the Welcome Screen comes up, I tried holding down the shift key as I hit the Organizer icon.  That doesn't seem to do anything.  The program starts to load - I see the status comments showing the various steps.  But then nothing happens - nothing opens.  Do you know any other way that I can get to the catalog manager??
    Also - if I reinstall the software or upgrade to the latest version of Elements (in order to fix this problem) will I be able to retain all the tags that I've attached to my photos?  I have thousands of pictures categorized and tagged and it would take me years to try to find and retag all of the pictures.
    Any insight you can provide is much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Try starting the organizer while holding down the shift key.  Hopefully, it should load the Catalog Manager.
    Select your current catalog and click on the Repair button. Once it has finished, click on the Open button to see if the catalog opens.
    Good luck,
    Brian

  • Thumbnails do not open in organizer on my MAC.

    I am currently using an evaluation copy of Elements 9 and its associated organizer on a Mac.  I imported a set of photos into the organizer and everything worked fine.  When I imported the next set the thumbnails do not open if there are more that two thumbnails shown.  I ported the software to another machine and have the same problem.  Because it is an evaluation version Adobe techs will not help (I must ask, why am I still considering this package).  Does anybody have any ideas.  I've closed other windows, reloaded the software, and tried a few other things but all with no luck.

    The Mac DAM development is still new and Organizer does not have a watched folder like Windows. You may want to start over.
    File >Catalog >New.
    Then choose an new name like catalog2 or something you prefer.

      You need to keep the keys pressed for several seconds. Close down Elements. Hold down the CtrlShiftAlt 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 clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys until you get the settings option. You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?Click on YesThen wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.  You should see something like this (example PSE9)  http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-4880527-258346/320-111/Setting s-pop-upPSE9.png

  • Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer will not open on Apple 10.6.8.

    I downloaded Photoshop Elements 12 two days ago and opened and ran the program successfully. I've downloaded nothing new to the computer since then, made no updates. but today it will not open at all, giving me a message that Adobe Elements 12 Organizer cannot be opened. The error message reads: "Reason: Incompatible library version: dvacaptioning requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 6.0.0".
    I've restarted my computer, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but I am getting the same error message as before. Can anyone help? Thank you.

    Unfortunately, the pse 12 organizer won't work on mac os x 10.6.8 snow leopard.
    As far as i know, there is no update or patch from adobe to resolve the issue.
    Probably no fix from adobe is coming, since photoshop elements 13 is already out, and adobe very seldom patches older software that they no longer sell and i don't believe pse 12 was officially supported on mac os x 10.6.8 by adobe when pse 12 came out.

  • Premiere Element 13 The progress bar on the lower right for Indexing has frozen and when asking to open a video file in the organizer, Premiere does not open.

    The above says it all.

    I can't really answer you first question. What has happened is: when I moved an mpg file from my assets to the movie (I have added already a mpg file in the first part of the movie) a message box appears telling me the file is being "indexed" and then this Indexing progress appears in lower right of screen and it processes up to 99% and then freezes. The file appears in the time line, but the frame appears that says "media pending" and then nothing happens. I can go into the Widows media player and the mpg file plays okay, with audio. That is best I can tell you.
    Though I did not say this earlier, when I try to open this mpg file from the Organizer, Premiere does not open.
    My operating system is Windows 7 on a Dell computer with lots of ram and plenty of space on my hard drive.
    Properties of movie file
    These properties are the same as a file I already inserted in the timeline.
    I look forward to your help and thanks..

  • PSE 8.0 Will Not Open (Including Editor and Organizer)

    I have been using PSE 8.0 for three or four years now, and I have never experienced any problems with it. Today, after installed a Wacom Intuos Creative Pen Tablet, my PSE 8.0 would not open-- nor would Editor and Organizer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, renaming certain files (as read in other answers), creating shortcuts to bypass the Welcome Screen (which also will not appear), among other solutions that I read about for similar problems. Whenever I attempt to open Organizer, a crash report appears, stating that the program has quit unexpectedly--that's all it says. If I try to open PSE 8 or Editor, the circle next to my cursor appears for a moment, but soon it disappears without a single pop-up or explanation as to why the program won't open. Since I cannot access the Welcome Screen, I cannot locate the Preference file to change the name/delete it.  If it matters, I use Windows 7.
    Any and all help is appreciated. I'm going a bit insane without my lovely Photoshop to doodle in. ;n;
    Thank you,
    ~ Mongoose

    EDIT: I found the Preferences within the PSE folder, and I renamed it; afterwards, I tried to open PSE again. It reset the Preferences, yet it is still telling me that PSE has unexpectedly quit. /EDIT
    I went into the PSE folder and attempted the "three finger salute" while clicking on Organizer, but all it brought up were the Organizer Properties.
    Also, within the past hour, PSE has been randomly popping multiple times up to inform me that it unexpectedly quit, yet I have not tried to open it recently. I am not sure if that is important or not.

  • Infopath Forms Not Opening in Broweser - Problem not organization wide, just one user

    I have a browser enabled, Infopath 2010 form that has been in production in Sharepoint for a couple of years now.  The form is a browser enabled form but it keeps opening in the Infopath client when the forms are opened via Sharepoint.  As far
    as I know, there is only one user in our entire organization that is having the problem. The problem did not start until a new site master page was implemented a few weeks ago.
    In addition to the form not opening in the browser, he does not get the sharepoint drop down arrow when hovering over a file name in this library. I was going to have him try selecting "edit in browser" but he does not get the menu.
    I've seen dozens of posts on how to resolve this Infopath issue as an enterprise wide solution, but my problem is limited to one user.
    The following has been confirmed:
    Infopath Forms Services feature is active
    The form was designed and published as a browser enabled form
    The library advanced settings for "Opening Documents in the Browser" has the option selected for "Open in the browser".
    The affected user is using IE 9 32-bit.  I made sure he was not using 64-bit as I've seen a lot of other Sharepoint problems with that before.

    Hi,
    For a better troubleshooting, I suggest to do as follows:
    1. Please check whether add the following code in the master page(<head/> tags).
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"/>
    2. Check whether it works on the user colleague’s computer.
    3. Try to use IE8 to check whether it workds.
    Thanks,

  • How come photshop elements 13 organizer will not open.

    I have been using element 13 for about a week and last night I tried to open it and the organizer will not open.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled I have shut down all firewall I need some help.  Seems the Adobe does not really have much help.

    First be sure you are opening the actual .exe/application file for the organizer rather than going through the welcome screen. It will be in either the program files>adobe or your Applications folder on a mac. Try holding down the shift key while opening it to bring up the catalog manager. If that works, select your catalog, then Repair, then Optimize.

  • Adobe elements organizer 12 will not open.

    I just installed Adobe photoshop on my Mac (Maverick) a few days ago and it worked fine. However, now the organizer will not open. Photoshop is fine. Occasionally it will begin to open, but then will disappear. I took previous idea of clearing media analyses, but that did not help. Ideas?

    Open the organizer while holding down the shift key to bring up the catalog manager. Find your catalog>repair>optimize.
    If you can't open it at all, go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything beginning com.adobe.Elements Organizer (with or without a space between Elements and Organizer). To see the user library, click the Go menu in the finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account.
