PSE 11 Organizer on Mac won't launch properly

Hi all -- Organizer has stopped working for me. When I try to launch it, the "credits" screen flashes briefly, but then nothing is displayed. If I try an option, like "Get Photos and Videos," then nothing happens, and all the options become grayed out. I just upgraded from PSE 10 to 11, and I created a new catalog. The organizer was working fine last night, but not today. Please help!

Close Organizer
Launch Finder, hold down the Opt key and click Go
From the dropdown list choose Library and open Preferences folder.
Delete the files:
com.Adobe.Elements Organizer.11.0.plist
com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer11.plist
Then re-launch Organizer.

Elements 8 for Mac won't launch

I just installed this program and it won't launch when double click the icon. This is a brand new laptop so the sys are current. Any ideas?

Barbara,
Thanks for the help, but I'm embarrassed to say that my problem was the fact I was double clicking on the icon instead of single clicking. I've only had this machine a couple weeks and old habits are hard to break.

Then I would do this. Uninstall it (there's a link to the uninstaller in the PSE 8 application folder), and then create a new admin user (system preferences>accounts), log into that user and run the install from there. Be sure to repair permissions afterwards. If all is well in the new account you can log back into your existing account and delete the new one.

Acrobat Pro 9 for mac won't launch, reloaded from disk when hard drive needed to be replace. It's in applications folder but there is an X on the Acrobat Reinstall icon. What should I do.

Hi Janice,
What version of Mac OS are you using?
Adobe does not recommend migrating the software from one disk to the other.
Please run the setup file for Acrobat and reinstall the software. You might want to delete the existing version of Acrobat installed before reinstalling it.

Rave

Hi jerrysalandro,
Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

PSE 10 Organizer on Mac shows wrong timestamps and changes timestamps

Just installed PSE 10 on my Mac (OSX 10.6.8) performed an update to the raw converter (though I am NOT using raw files)
All photos that I add to the catalog show a time stamp of 1hr before the photo was taken. If I check the actual metatdata it shows correct for most of the fields.
Exif data before adding to organizer: (using Exif Viewer 2.7.1)
Image Created:          2012:03:21 07:27:26
Image Generated:          2012:03:21 07:27:26
          Image Digitized:          2012:03:21 07:27:26
I drag it into Organizer and it shows as being 3/21/2012 6:27am
The exif data still shows properly in Exif Viewer.
Ok, I can deal with that, it is very odd, but since it isn't changing the exif data it is somewhat ok.
Until....
Now, I right click on the image and say open with Photoshop Elements Editor and immediately the time changes on the organizer screen to be one hour earlier from shown: 5:27am.
PSE Editor File info shows the Created and Modified times on the desciption tab as 7:27, but on the Camera Data tab shows 3/21/2012 – 6:27 AM (the time organizer showed before I said to open editor)
now Exif Viewer says:
Image Generated:          2012:03:21 06:27:26
          Image Digitized:          2012:03:21 07:27:26
close editor, and organizer is still saying the time is 5:27am
Close organizer, open again, still shows 5:27am, exif data still shows:
Image Generated:          2012:03:21 06:27:26
          Image Digitized:          2012:03:21 07:27:26
I can repeat the open in editor and it again subtracts an hour from the time shown, and from the Image Generated exif data field.
It appears that the organizer updates the timestamp when you say open in editor, and then sees that the timestamp changed and shows its 1hr subtracted time.
Definate bug! It happens with JPG files from 3 different cameras (2 canon, 1 nikon) does not appear to happen with MP4 files from Flip. but does happen with MOV files from at least 1 of the canon cameras.
Any ideas? I haven't found the place to report bugs for PSE10 yet.

PSE 10 Organizer for Mac - Partially correct Album search results

When clicking on an album, I get a huge amount of results but only 13, for example, should be in the album. Why does PSE 10 for the Mac give that kind of search response. How can I fix it?
To clarify....clicking on an album marked Flowers gives me the 13 flower images but also some 987 others, each of which is marked with a circle with a line through it, indicating that the program knows they should not be in the flower album but shows them anyway.

Mac won't boot properly unless in safe mode

Recently I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite. I then started the process of the data encryption.
I don't know what happened, but maybe the encryption failed, because now every time I turn my mac on, it won't boot properly unless it's in safe mode.
Either it will have a black screen with a visible cursor, or just the desktop with no dock or the bar along the top and no icons, or it does boot up properly, but works extremely slowly. Like if I was to press the apple symbol on the top-right of the screen, it would take 5 minutes to actually open it. Nothing works properly.
And so I opened up my system preferences, and discovered that the Encryption is stuck on half-finished. But I can't stop it. If I try to turn encryption off it says I have to wait till it's finished. But it never does, the progress bar never moves.
If I open System Preferences while in Safe Mode, the progress bar for Encryption is grey, and underneath it says "connect to power to continue encryption". But it IS connected to power.
Have I stuffed my Mac? Is there a way to get it working again?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Where is the 'Watch Folders' option in PSE 9 Organizer for Mac?

I'm sure it's right in front of my face, but I can't find it. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your replies. Bob, thanks to you especially for your candor. I use Adobe products for both photography and graphic design. I have been a loyal PSE user since PSE 4, but I use Photoshop (started out with CS2, now up to CS5) for all of my editing. I only use PSE for my digital asset management. The reason I need watched folders is that any new files I create in CS5 are not automatically added to my catalog in PSE. I switched to a Mac 3 years ago and wasn't happy with any of the alternatives, so I have been using PSE for Mac since version 9. However, over the years, I have found that I don't always remember to go back into the PSE catalog to import after working on something in CS5, so my catalog is always missing some files. I have found a watched folder plugin for Lightroom that seems to work pretty seamlessly in the background, but I found Lightroom not nearly as intuitive to use when I bought LR2 a few years back. Plus, facial recognition is a big feature for me, and LR4 still lacks that. I guess that, for Mac users, there's really no one solution that works as well as PSE does for Windows users.
I guess I'll have to continue my search...Thanks again for your replies!

PSE 10 Organizer layout changes won't stay

Upgraded from PSE9 to PSE 10. Win 7 OS. Setting the Organizer to display in Folder view, and then adjusting the Photo bin size larger (to the left) does not "take." It will remain as I set it as long as I remain in that session. If I close the program and then restart, the Organizer layout has reverted to the default layout with a small Photo bin. This was automatic in Version 9 and it saved it where I put it. How do I fix this irritating problem please?

Thanks for the suggestion - it sure sounded good, but doesn't work for me. Changed name to "oldpsa.prf", re-started PSE10, set up my workspace as I want it (essentially all I do is change the size of the Photo bin to make it larger - makes the folder display narrower), went into preferences just to hit "OK" and leave - then exited the pgm and re-started - It was back to the default workspace. Thanks anyway - I am thinking seriously about removing all things Elements then using CCleaner and jv16PowerTools to scrub the registry just to make sure there are no remnants, then reload everything. At this point I don't have any serious work to lose, so it might be better to do it now rather than lose good stuff down the road. I am a new user, as you can probably tell. If anyone has any other ideas, please send them on as I will wait a day or so before I bomb this thing. Thanks!

Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: Mail unexpectedly quits - Apple Support
I don't know what's going on. Please help!

Back up all date before proceeding.
Quit Mail if it's running.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open L*/Mail/*/*/.O*
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
One or more folders, each named ".OfflineCache", should open. In each one, there should be a file named "operations". Move each such file to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail and test.

Illustrator CS2 on mac won't launch

Hi,
I am unable to open Illustrator! I am running Mac Os X 10.5.6 and get this message: Could not complete the requested operation.
All other Adobe programs open and this is native CS2 ie no upgrades or added stuff.
Have called Adobe and tried the trashing preferences and creating a new user account options, which did nothing. Also tried the font problem, and found the fonts were not the problem.
Any help, ideas on how to fix would be greatly appreciated
Thanku in advance,
Belinda

Belinda,
Before you do, there may be a few other things to try:
1) Install updates;
2) Reinstall Acrobat;
3) Move all non system fonts out of the Font folder (or whatever it is called on a Mac); if that solves the issue, move them back in bundles until you find the corrupt one(s);
If that does not help either, I will have a further look.
You can always reinstall Illy without involving Adobe.
When you have everything working smoothly, whatever it takes, you may consider Maxtor Maxblast or something similar to preserve everything and be able to recreate everything.

ITunes 10.7 for Mac won't launch after Force Quit

Yesterday I downloaded a song file, which automatically tried to launch iTunes; but I was also in a couple of different other applications. iTunes was having trouble launching, and just kept running the "Loading iTunes Library" dialog box, so finally I pressed Stop on the dialog box and force quit out of the application. Since then I haven't been able to relaunch iTunes. When I try to open it, the icon will bounce for a while, then stop, and will never fully launch. It just says "Application Not Responding." Does anyone know a way to fix this?

New Lightroom2 install won't launch properly - error message

I installed Lightroom 2 and filled in new upgrade serial number etc. then quit. Now if I try to launch the app I get an error message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules". This appears first and if I click OK the Lightroom2 window appears but with nothing in it (no side panels, no photos) and Clicking on any of the modules prompts the same error message. Can't do anything at all. If I try to open my previous Lightroom1 catalogue it seems to be doing something but then the same error message appears.
I've repaired Permissions, verified Disk, trashed Lightroom1 and 2 preferences, rebooted without login items but nothing has changed or resolved the problem. I had no issues running Lightroom1 on this Mac.

Problem solved!!
I was checking the differences between my normal admin User account/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom contents and the one on the clean other admin User folder in the same place and noticed that on the one that works there are a slew of folders in there (Develop Presets, Export Presets, External Editor Presets, Filename Templates, Filter Presets, etc etc). On the main admin account, there was only one, the first. So it seemed the install on that account didn't load all the needed info. I simply copied the missing folders from the account that worked into the Public folder, switched to my main account and added those missing folders in the proper place. Voilà!. Now Lightroom launches normally and I don't get the dreaded missing modules alert. Hurrah!

Mac won't boot properly after putting in Windows 7 boot disc

I wanted to get Windows 7 on my Mac, so I got the disc, ran boot camp assistant, and when it said install Windows 7, I put the disc in, and clicked continue. The Mac reset, and after it got past the white screen, it went black, and my keyboard and mouse stopped working. Now I can't take the disc out because it won't let me go to my desktop.

Keyboard/trackpad inoperative, black screen, or alert messages when installing Windows 7
Boot Camp- Windows installation boots to black screen with blinking cursor
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

IPhoto 4.0.3 - won't launch properly...

When I double click to launch iPhoto (Version 4.0.3) - it opens the main window - then 'sits on the 'Loading Photos' logo with the spinning disc & doesn't load in our photos.
We have tried restart & full shutdown & also launching the application from different 'origins' (the dock, Application Folder in HD etc) - but it does the same every time
Any ideas welcomed...we're panicking!!
thanks

Shane:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. This may fix it.
Determining if the SWOD (spinning wheel of death) at launch is caused by a corrupt album.
1 - move the Albums folder and the AlbumData.xml file to the Desktop
2 - launch iPhoto. If it launches OK then it's a bad album.
3 - to determine which one(s) is the bad apple (pun intended) move, one at a time, each album folder and it's associated data file back into the new Albums folder that was created inside the iPhoto Library folder.
4 - Launch iPhoto. If the launch is OK, that one was good and try the same with the next one.
5 - If the launch gives you the SWOD, remove that last album folder and it's data file.
6 - repeat with each album folder and data file until you've checked them all.
