PSE 10 Organizer NOT RESPONDING

Organizer has worked for several months.  Two days ago stopped responding.  Got Adobe Tech support to help un-installing and re-installing, but no change.  PSE 9 Organizer works OK.  Thumbnails load okay, but when move slider or try to edit get "Oranizer Not Responding" message and screen dims.  When re-installed settings change so goes to Organizer automatically on opening, so Home/welcome screen not available.  Before re-installation tried tutorials, etc. and they worked okay.  I'm essentially out of business on PSE 10.  How do I get Organizer to work?

I just followed advice of others to turn off all Media Analysis and Backup Synchronization and the Organizer appears to working normally again!  Many thanks!!

  • PSE 9 Organizer Not Responding

    I just bought PSE 9.  I started tagging people in organizer and it seemed to be working fine. Now I can work for a few minutes and all the sudden the little blue Window oval appers and it says that PSE Organizer is not responding and it gives me the option to close the program or wait for the program resume. I can hear my hard drive working like crazy when this happens It usually takes about 10 minutes to recover.  It has gotten to the point that it often stops responding when I click on any thing in Organizer
    I am very unhappy with this situation, does anyone have any idea whats is goin on and how I can fix it?
    I am using Windows 7 with 6 meg of RAM

    Same problem, have seen post that suggest it is a problem with your catalog.
    I have since had to make up three new catalogs, this is getting very old!!!
    If anyone has other solutions, please let me know.

  • Elements 13 organizer not responding

    Installed Elements 13 a couple of days ago. When trying to open a file from the Organizer in the Editor, I frequently get "Organizer not responding."  Wait ... wait ... try to shutdown Organizer, which itself takes a couple of minutes.
    Did not have this problem with Elements 12.

    Any comments on this problem? Thanks.
    Later:
    Deselecting the Media Analysis options has helped noticeably. It no longer freezes, but still seems to take longer than with Elements 12.

    Just Elements 13.
    Noticed something else. When I haven't used Elements for a while, things take considerably longer at first. Once I've worked with a couple of pictures, things speed up. Presumably this is due to having to swap various parts in when Elements is started. Once you're underway I'd guess the swapping is reduced and therefore things speed up.
    Similarly, I notice faster response when I use Elements right after a reboot, with little else running.
    I'm no technical whiz, but this suggests to me that more memory might help.
    In any event, the major improvement seems to have come when I unchecked the Media-Analysis options. As things stand, the response is acceptable.
    Thanks.

  • PSE 3.0 Organizer Not Responding

    Have been using Photoshop Elements 3.0 for several years. Suddenly the organizer won't open to display photos. I have at least 2,000 photos but thought the organizer would handle unlimited number. This is the first time I've had a problem and only use PSE to organize my photos and do some minor editing. This old lady would greatly appreciate any ideas!!

    Does clicking Conrtol+1 help you? Let me know if it helps. Please make sure that your catalog is same as the one where you imported your media.

  • Elements Organizer Not Responding - Locks when gets to "100%"

    This is simply unacceptable.  If I understand right, EVERYONE who uses Organizer finds it does not work properly when you have a lot of pictures (I have lots).  It locks as the app starts, while it searches <watched folders> - gets to 100% then "Not responding" error shows.  I can't go in and tell it to stop watching folders, since it is locking.  Ideas anyone, before I return this and get a refund?   And shame on Adobe for allowing this to continue - there is someone who owns this function in the software development group, and they need the opportunity to find new career challenges.

  • Adobe photoshop elements 11 organizer, NOT RESPONDING

    I installed 11 yesterday and have converted existing catalogs, imported new media, including some movie clips. While in organizer I watched some of the short movies ( 2 minutes or less). I opened, watched and closed 2 or three movies and then Organizer just hangs in the "not responding" category of windows 7.  This has occcurred 3 times. There are 18,000 items in organizer. This machine has 4 GB of memory and lots of disk space. Any ideas?

      If You don’t need people recognition and the auto-analysis options you could turn everything off to improve performance. Go to:
    Edit >> Preference >> Media Analysis
    Uncheck all the boxes and click OK

  • PSE11 Organizer - Not Responding

    I have a Windows 8.1 laptop with 8GB memory, 1TB Hard Drive, and Intel Core i5.  When running PSE11 Organizer the organizer will hang up and I receive a message "Not Responding".  Then the Organizer closes and I have to reload everything.  Is there a setting I'm missing?  Also I heard that the resolution of my monitor could be a problem. Is that possible?
    Thanks for any input.  I really enjoy my PSE11 but this is making me crazy!!

    Try changing the settings in prefs by going to:
    Edit >> Preferences >> Media Analysis
    Uncheck all the boxes for people recognition and for the auto-analyzer. That often improves performance. You can re-start them at any time e.g. when you are away from your computer or niot editing photos.

  • Pse 10 freezing/not responding?

    Hi
    I'm following a Scrapbook course. When I'm attempting to assemble a page, I am frequently getting 'not responding' in the top left, and the programme freezes. What is going on please?

    I am assuming that it is freezing but not crashing so might be due to performance issue. Please try some of the performance enhancement options here http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/tips-to-enhance-photoshop-elements-performance/
    Thanks,

  • PSE 7 Editor not responding. Stuck in thinking mode for eternity...

    Hoping for some help with this issue. Pleeeezee
    I start in Organizer, choose an image to edit, click on the quick fix (shoot in Raw), do some simple changes, then if I need more fixes I click on Open Image. The Editor window pops open and then the thinking mode for eternity is what happens next. Sometimes the image does finally appear but it could take several minutes. Has become increasing worse lately where images do not appear at all.
    Has 3GB memory, maxed out the memory usage in the performance. Just uninstalled PSE then re-installed it and still have the same issue.
    Not sure what else I can try. If anyone has ideas or has dealt with this same issue before, please share.
    Thanks!!
    -Martin

    Please provide more specific info about your computer - processor (single or dual), OS (XP, Vista or 7), 32-bit, video card, etc.
    You realize RAW file will require a lot of power to process.  Using a memory-stick (ReadyBoost) may help.
    Personally, I gave up trying to process RAW in PSE - switched to Lightroom 2.  Only use PSE for editing work beyond scope of LR2 - like Panaramas, merged exposure, etc.

  • 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?

    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 8 organizer not found

    I just "upgraded" from Elements 6 and a PC to Elements 8 and a Mac. When I loaded PSE 8 everything seemed fine. I noticed there was the editor and not the organizer, but I figured maybe the organizer would show up after I uploaded some pictures from my camera. After connecting camera to computer the pictures automatically went to iphoto without any question. I figured I just needed to reset the default. The iphoto preferences don't give Adobe as a default downloader and I couldn't (still can't) get the photoshop downloader or Bridge to open. Nowhere can I find my photoshop organizer. I'm hoping this is all because I'm ignorant of how Macs work. One of the main reasons for leaving my PC is because I was so tired of having to know more about computers than I care to know. Macs were suppose to be easy. Tell me there's an easy answer!

    Please quit sending me emails.

  • PSE 8 organizer not showing after downloading

    I down loaded PSE 8 on my mac and had no errors show, but I can not get the organizer up therefore I can not get my photo's in to the program.  There is actually no options to click onto the organizer, even on the start up menu.  I had PSE 7 on my PC and never had any issues, I loved it.  Can anyone explain what I do to get my organizer?

    You can use Adobe Bridge for your organization of pictures.

  • PSE 8 editor not responding

    After I edit a photo with PSE 8 Editor and try and save the edit, Editor goes white (not reponding) for several seconds then finally completes the edit. What is causing this delay?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    In PSE editor under Edit->Preferences: check Performance settings:
    *taking the cursor/mouse on each option words will display the description of that option:
    Modify the default settings as per your needs:
    1) Set the total % PSE can use of available RAM.
    2) reduce the number of history states (Undo states)
    3) Under scratch disks area in case you have more than 1 drive do check so it can use memory
    from more than 1 drives of your machine.
    After making this changes close PSE and launch again.
    I am sure performance should improve. Let me know if you have any comments.

  • PSE 10 organizer not starting - never worked

    Hi,
    I have installed PSE 10.0 on my PC running Windows 7 Pro SP1.  I can happily edit images in PSE, but I cannot start the Organizer.  When I start PSE the initial screen is displayed giving me options Orgainize and Edit, when I click on Organize the progress bar displays for a few seconds then nothing happens - no error messages, no dialogs nothing.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance, Steve.

    Bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.
