PSE 11 Organiser - Top of Organiser Disappeared

I have lost the top of my PSE 11 organiser screen. I run a Mac with an external monitor. I can no longer see the resizing buttons (red, amber, green) top left, along with the folders, import option button, tag, info button etc. Its a nightmare. I have read a lot of the help forum stuff and tried different screen resolutions on my macbook pro and external monitor, nothing helps. I have rebooted several times with and without external monitor attached and nothing changes. I am pulling my hair out as I have loads of photos to process. This couldn't have happened at a worse time.
Here is a screen shot of what I currently get. I am running OS X 10.9.2.
Can someone please help?
Many thanks,
Lynn

Hi Barbara,
How do I reply to you in the thread?
I have done as you suggested by altering screen resolution to largest print and smallest several times and done it on the macbook and with the external screen attached. The top of the screen is not jumping at all. I.e. No change and I have tried it about 20 times.

PSE 12 organiser uses wrong folders

PSE 12 organiser doesn't remember photos after import from whatever source (for example, pics are imported from e:\test\pics, but the organiser shows them as imported from f:\test\pics), and this is trying to locate pictures (link again) with no success.
This even happens when everything is freshly installed, and pics are shown correctly - after saving the catalogue pictures cannot be found.
Any ideas?
Thank you

One typical situation when you may see the location in the catalog pointing to another drive letter (Windows) is if you are using different external drives or USB thumb drives. This is the reason why it is highly recommended to always assign the same letter drive to any external drive; it's best to start with letters like M, N, P, Q... rather than E, F, G, H... If you have assigned the letter E, then you have another drive plugged in, the last one will be assigned E, and if you plug-in the previous drive, Windows will recognize it as F.
The organizer saves the drive identification with both the drive letter and the drive serial number, but that does not always help to correctly identify the drive. For instance, if you have a cloned external drive, there are situations where two drives have the same serial number.

PSE 11 Organiser won't open

After a bit of a struggle with the installation of PSE11(via trial then entering authentication) , then successfully downloading photos, I now find PSE 11 Organiser doesn't open. After the fraught install, this new problem is a new hurdle.
Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, please can someone give me some simple instructions to rectify?
Thanks, Alison.

Try these solutions to see if any of these work.
If none of them works, let me know.
Solution1:
Close Elements. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file. Click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution2:
In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution3:
In case that does not work too, you may try this.
Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Regards,
~V

Pse 11 organiser view screen background colour

Am I able to change the background colour of the view screen in PSE 11 organiser? The current background is grey, which isn't a great colour to optimise viewing images. Black would be better.

You can only do it in the Editor within a tab or floating window. Right click on any gray area surrounding an open image.

Sharing keywords between LR and PSE 9 Organiser? :-(

OK, I've owned 3 photo products from Adobe (Photoshop Album, Lightroom and Photoshop Essentials) and have 3 keyword file formats! I use LR as my main photo organiser and have started using PSE and its Organiser but am frustrated by the lack of coherent design of keyword files. I have hundreds of keywords in LR. I had to write some Python code to convert my "Album" keywords to the LR format and it seems I have to do the same to get keywords from LR into PSE's organiser. But there's now a new problem...
Unfortunately when I import keywords into PSE's Organiser any duplication of existing keywords results in duplication in the keyword list - i.e. when I add "From file.." PSE adds to the list rather than merging! PSE is clearly not designed to re-load keywords from file any extend the keywords. If I export all my keywords and re-import them I don't expect the number of keywords to double! Oh - I can;t delete keywords before importing because I'm told everything it's 'learned' (people etc. will be lost). Keywords appear to be exportable but not importable.
I clearly cannot import keywords into PSE's organiser as I can with LR.
Is anyone sharing keywords between LR and PSE's Organiser?

Thanks, I can see how that can work and the problems. It looks like the keywords themselves cannot be easily shared and I agree that having two organising programs is problematic but I wanted to 'export' the keywords I have created including their structure from Lightroom and import them into PSE organiser. You'd think you could do this with two similar products from the same company. The organisers in question are used for two purposes and the photos in each are different - i.e. I use lightroom for my pro stuff and PSE for family/casual stuff and no photo would be present in both. It looks like PSE really isn't designed to import keywords. I have Python code to create a PSE keyword file from a lightroom file so that will have to do as it's clear there's no interoperability.
Thanks for your suggestions.

How do I fix my broken PSE 9 Organiser program?

I'm about ready to scream!
Whenever I open PSE 9 Organiser, it opens to show that it is generating thumbnails and the hourglass is not moving at all. Then if I dare to do anything at all and I do mean anything, it stops responding and I have to shut it down via ctrl-alt-delete or the Windows not responding pop-up window.
So, what have I tried to fix it?
I have updated to SP2 after disabling user account control
I have removed the thumbs.5.cache more than once and then tried to update the thumbnails with no success, as the program just froze on me
I have tried to "repair" the catalog, but the program just freezes as soon as I click on File
I have tried to "optimize" the catalog, but the program just freezes as soon as I click on File
I have also uninstalled and re-installed the program, though without any appreciable difference in performance, (I did not actually search and remove all PSE 9 files, I just made use of the Uninstall feature in Settings)
Now, you may understand my fustration in trying to get this program working as well as it did when I first installed it.
So, could anyone please tell me what I should do to get this program to work as it should?

Why do the minimize, maximize, & close buttons in the top right corner disappear (turn to a black void) unless FF is maximized?

I am running Windows 7 on my new laptop. When I bought it back in August, I installed Firefox version 5 (I think) Now that I have updated to version 6, the minimize, maximize, & close buttons in the top right corner disappear when the window is not maximized. It becomes a black space where the buttons should be.

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

If Safari - Preferences - General - Remove Downloads list items... is set to 'when Safari quits' or 'Upon Successful download'; then it's normal for the download arrow to be missing, until a new download is started. A small download might finish so quickly that the icon isn't noticed.

The Mac has never needed "Full Screen". It has done multiple screen Extended Desktop since 1987.
Full screen is an iPhone feature, carried into this verion with the mult-touch gestures and other so-called "unifying" features.

Top menu bar disappears

The problem that I am having is after my mac sits idle for awhile it seems to freeze up. I can move the cursor with the mouse but if I attempt to open anything in the dock it doesn't respond. If I try to quit a program on the dock by holding down the mouse and press quit, the top menu bar disappears and I can't shutdown the computer unless I hold the power button in. This seems to be a relatively new problem, within the last couple of months. Anyone have the same problem and are there any solutions?

This seems to be a relatively new problem, *within the last couple of months.*
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue during those _last couple of months._ Don't want any of the users here duplicating things you have already tried.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
Have you tried the following?
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select *Disk Utility.*
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click *First Aid.*
Click _*Repair Disk.*_
Restart your computer when done.

After installing iTunes 10.4.0.80 "file" "edit" etc items from menu bar at top right corner disappeared -when cursor is put in that spot a darker rectangle appears - similarly tabs for syncing iPhone are invisible

After installing iTunes 10.4.0.80 "file" "edit" etc items from menu bar at top right corner disappeared -when cursor is put in that spot a darker rectangle appears - similarly tabs for syncing iPhone are invisible- and similarly small ovals appear when cursor is placed where tabs should be.

Very many thanks to you, Putaro! Your answer provided the solution. It was a buggy plug-in that turned out to be the culprit.
You're off the hook, Apple, and my apologies for stating that you let a dog run loose. You skated by this time, Apple. But I'm watching you.
But again, Putaro's reference to the plugins I had installed over the years turned out to illuminate the problem. I have several plugins in my iTunes plugins folder, pretty much all designed to add more visualizer functionality. I removed all of them, and ALL of the problems I noted in my post went away, with full iTunes functionality restored.
I began adding the plugins back to hopefully single out the culprit. Among the ones I had been using included fielder, G-Force, Timestrech, volcanokit, QuartzComposer, and Jax. I hadn't used any of them in a while - probably at least a verison or more back in iTunes updates, but iTunes continued to work with all of them installed. Currently, only QuartzComposer continues to work in iTunes 10.4. The rest no longer even show up as visualizer opitons, with one exception. Jax does show up, but does not work. AND THE PRESENCE OF JAX IS WHAT KILLED MY ITUNES.
I looked into it and went back to the developer, and it appears that they discontinued developing Jax some time ago - evidently, it was buggy and crash prone. I remember after buying it, having problems with it - having never worked to its touted potential, but I didn't pursue it, and never uninstalled it. Leaving it in there caused all iTunes functionality to cease with the iTunes 10.4 update.
If you've got Jax installed, consider removing it before updating to iTunes 10.4.
My iTunes is now working right as rain, thanks again to Putaro!

PSE 13 Organiser and apple magic mouse - unusable

Just bought PSE 13 and to my dissapointment discover that scrolling within the organiser is so erratic that its near impossible to select two photos and then stack them.
In addition the slightest touch seems to send the media window shooting off in random directions.
I see from other comments this problem seems to have been around for several versions of PSE. I had v10 before and didn't notice this but had to upgrade for the 5k iMac.
Come on adobe... sort it out.

Thanks don_mayer, I really thought about upgrading my PSE10 to PS12 to fix the scrolling issue.
Your post saved me some money.
@adobe: it would be nice to know, if this problem is planned to be fixed in a future release of PSE. It is NOT linked to the specific "Magic Mouse" from Apple. On OSX Mavericks, scrolling is nearly unusable in the photo browser in PSE no matter which type of mouse is connected to the Mac.
After reading through all the posts in this forum, I haven't solved this problem yet. Also a Logitech mouse (as recommend in one of the posts) did not fix this.
PSE is the only application, I know of on Mac, that seems to have this problem.

PSE 11 Organiser wont display thumbnails only egg timer icons ?

I have been using PSE 11 for about 6 months with no problems, however, yesterday the prog froze and I had to switch off and re-boot. Now all new uploads are displayed in the organiser as egg timer icons. These will open, but only one at a time when double clicked on. I am on Windows 7. I have uninstalled PSE 11 and re-installed but the problem persists. I have uploaded a very small jpeg and got the same resuilts, which seems to rule out a RAW problem. Any ideas ?

Hi,
Please try right clicking the thumbnails and choosing Update Thumbnail?
If this doesn't help, please try refreshing thumbnail cache as explianed here-http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-catalog-issues-organizer-element s.html
If none of this works, please follow the answer of the thread-http://forums.adobe.com/message/4734171

Why is LR5 catalog better than PSE 12 Organiser?

Hi/
I have started using a trial version of LR5.
I have been a regular user of various versions of PSE over the years.
Generally, I have been happy with the organiser, & have various tags nested in each-other.
I have never had a problem with it being unstable, & can normally find what I am looking for,
(provided that I have correctly tagged it in the first place :-)
My first impression of the LR5 catalogue is that it is not as intuitive.
I have searched on-line for how to set-up the catalogue & much of the discussion relates to how many catalogues to have. - I've already made that decision - Just the one:
So? What features am I missing in the LR5 catalogue that make it better than the Elements Organiser?
What do you think?

I am also a happy user of the Organizer, but I also use LR 4.4.
What I find interesting in LR:
- huge amount of possible customization and options (if you need them...)
- Ability to manage jpegs just as raws (the organizer does not let you open jpegs in acr, )
- Smart ways to manage variants without copying files (virtual copies)
- More advanced metadata management
- possibility to merge catalogs
- Much more support by Adobe and user forums
- More advanced options in output in the latest versions
What can be debated is the difficulty of the learning curve as well as the 'robustness' of the software. The organizer was plagued with many bugs (it was already there many years before LR.) The problem is that having many more options makes LR much more complex. For instance the database has three times the number of tables. The result is that the LR forums are full of complaints about bugs or missing features... just because it is too rich and tries to satisfy everybody's needs.
Many cases of problems with the Organizer are related to the backup function which backs up both pictures and catalogs. Lr only backup catalogs. Backing up pictures is your responsability. If you have problems, it's not LR's fault, it's yours .
I can't find a post I made to show the possible advantages of the organizer, but that was just for the fun.
