PSE 12 Organizer error in W8.1 can't find directx

newly installed pse12 on Windows 8.1... Organizer failed error - can not locate MS Directx, How to fix?

You can enable DirectPlay under legacy features in 8.1. from the Windows Control panel
Control panel >> Programs >> Programs and Features
Click on: Turn windows features on or off.
N.B. Microsoft does not recommend turning on legacy features in Windows 8 which they say may impair performance but others have found this to work.

My Top Rated songs, when I synch my iP4S - comes up with an error message saying it can't find all the songs. When I check, library has songs listed but with a "!" bubble next to them. When I click on them they play. What am I doing wrong?

When synching, itcomes up with an error message saying it can't find all the songs. When I check, library has songs listed but with a "!" bubble next to them. When I click on them they play. What am I doing wrong? This happens every time so I click them and it sorts them (boring with 200 odd). How can I prevent this?

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

HT1923 I can't uninstall or update iTunes. I get an error message that it can't find the file itunes64.msi.

I can't uninstall or update iTunes. I get an error message that it can't find the file itunes64.msi. where is it suppose to be?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I tried downloading iTunes to my computer. It gives me an error where it says can not find iTunes Helper. I uninstalled all iTunes, restarted my computer, and then tried again. I keep getting the same error everyime. What can I do?

Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
Many thanks. That issue will be causing the iTuneshelper error message too.
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.

PSE 9 Organizer error codec trying to add an Elements audio file to slide show

I am using PSE 9 to build a slide show. When I add audio, I can use mp3's from my music library in the slide show without any issues ...
but I am getting the following error when I try to add an Elements audio file (example " A _Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3)
This is the Organizer error message:
"Unable to add the audio file (C:\ProgramData\Adobe\ElementsOrganizer\8.0\Music\A_Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3).
The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser(codec) installed."
I had PSE 8 and upgraded to PSE 9 - I noticed the error file detail shows 8.0 - Is this my problem - maybe an incomplete upgrade ? (I've made several slideshows mixing photos and music, on an older computer using PSE 8 and never ran into this issue.)
Below is my system info in case that helps:
OS=Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on an HP Pavillion dv7
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-430M Dual Core processor (2.26GHz, 3MB L2 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.53GHz
8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
512MB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 5470 switchable graphics
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Thanks for any help !

Does that file extension really have a space in it? If so, remove the space.

PSE 9 Organizer Error Adding Keyword Tags and Other Woes

Hello, everyone. I am having a ton of problems with PSE 9 Organizer. The most frustrating and biggest problem is that I believe my catalog has been corrupted beyond repair. I spent all of yesterday tagging my photos. I had no problems and everything seemed to be going well until all of the sudden, the organizer suddenly froze up. I had to use the Windows task manager just to get it to close. This happened several times. Finally, the organizer locked up my computer and I had to restart. I opened the catalog and didn't seem to have any problems at that point. I was able to view all of the images, video files etc. I was even able to open the editor from the organizer. When I tried to add a tag to a photo it gave me an error. All it said was "error adding keyword tag" then nothing. I tried to delete the photo and all it said was "error deleting photo". This "error" shows up any time I try to make any changes to all of the images. I can't add any new photos, can't delete, or add tags. I have repaired the catalog several times. It found errors the first time, but evidently that didn't fix my problem. I also optimized and deleted my thumbnail cache to see if that was the issue. Still nothing. I have other catalogs and they work fine, so it is something to do with this particular catalog. Any suggestions on what to do next? Can I move the pictures to a new catalog without losing the tags? And no, I didn't write the tags to the images because I wasn't done tagging. Besides, PSE doesn't always write the tags correctly, as you probably know. Next problem. When I first open PSE and select the organizer, it doesn't alway open. I can see it on my taskbar (Windows 7 64 bit), but I can't get the window to maximize. I have to close and open several times to get the window to open. Sometimes it randomly jumps to my second monitor like it can't decide where to go. Very frustrating. I would appreciate any suggestions about what to do. Thanks.

Back to the original question, after thinking about this for a couple days I have had two ideas for workarounds:
1) Copy my tag names into the photo metadata and create a new catalog to bring all of my images into. This will allow me to keep all of my existing tags, and it MIGHT solve the tag display problem based on a test with a couple images in a new catalog. The downsides to this are a) permanently writes my tags into the photo metadata which will be bad if I decide to change something later, b) loses all version sets, and c) loses all albums (although I don't have that many). I found instructions for this workaround at http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Merging_Catalogs.
2) Live with the lack of color tag display in Organizer, and use reverse searches to find missing tag categories. For example, if I want to find all photos that do not have a "Places" tag, I check the box next to the "Places" category (which also selects all sub-categories and tags below this). Then I go to the Options drop-down in the Find Bar and "Hide best match results" and "Show results that do not match". This gives me every image in my catalog that does not have a tag from the "Places" category, so I can go through and tag these as appropriate.
I would have gone with #1 if it weren't for the permanence of the keywords. I guess I have a commitment problem (or I just haven't got my tag hierarchy figured out yet). Instead, I am going with #2 which should give me most of what I need for now. I will still hold out some small glimmer of hope that Adobe manages a fix for this issue down the road.

Why is PSE 6 garbling my file structure? can't find photos!

Example: I'm looking for a particular photo in PSE 6 Organizer. It WAS in there at one time. It should be tagged "gardens". When I display photos with that tag, it is not there. So I check the directory with Windows Explorer and there it is, in a subdirectory conveniently named "gardens". I return to PSE Organizer and use Get Photos from the File menu but am told that all files in that directory are already in the Catalog - even though I can't find them. So back in Windows Explorer I check the file date and date picture was taken and both are July 7 2006. I return to Organizer, click "show all" and then use the date view to scroll to that date. There is nothing beween July 1 and July 20 2006.
I also tried using the folder view. When I click on the "gardens" folder, the photos that come up in the Organizer are from a completely different part of my drive, a trip to Sequoia in 2002. But the Organizer seems to think otherwise.
How can I get this photo (actually there are several there) back into the catalog or get PSE to recognize it? I need to be able to work with it!
Thanks for any ideas.

I constantly get error messages that Firefox can't find a particular site.

I experience random trouble connecting with web sites using Firefox. The error message received is typically "Sorry, we can't find "www.xxx.com". Please check the spelling of the web address." I have cleared the cache and cookies, as well as checked the other settings recommended in the Help section. The problem still persists. It's pretty ridiculous when you can't connect to Yahoo! or YouTube.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Error updating QuickTime7. can't find the quicktime.msi file?

I get an error message when I try to update my version of Quicktime7. It apparently can't find the quicktime.msi file in the temp directory?

First try this fixit:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
If that doesn't work you may need the the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility
Unfortunately the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been withdrawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
Google msicuu2.exe download
mydigitallife in the above search has a copy of version 3
Check for malware before installing it.
After installing, To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install
If you get permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
Try uninstalling Quicktime, this will probably fail, don't worry
delete the following folder/files (I am assuming 32 bit XP, if you have something else it may be different, post back with info)
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTime
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTimeVR
Download QuickTime onto your PC
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any instance you find of Quicktime
Restart your PC
Install Quicktime

Error in system Plist - Can't find any references

During a recent scan with Onyx, it found a Plist with an error, but I'm unable to find any references to the plist itself..
/library/preferences/com.apple.systemuincom.plist
Appreciate any assistance if someone recognizes the name and/or function. Last access was back in November, so I'm assuming not a critical or commonly updated file.
Thanks.

Is your system misbehaving in any manner?
Is your data backed up?
If you answered no to either question, don't run Onyx.

Help!-Error 1605-But I can't find QT components to uninstall

Hi all,
I uninstalled QuickTime because the program was corrupted. I had to do the uninstall manually because ADD/REMOVE programs would not work. Now, when I try to install QuickTime (standalone player), I'm asked if I want to uninstall all components. Whether I click "yes" or "no", I get Error 1605, that says there are no components to uninstall and the installation is stopped. I've searched my program files and registry and removed what QT components I can find. I restart the computer any time I find something to remove. However, I still can't install because the installer continues to want to uninstall. I've checked the Microsoft site, used the uninstall clean-up, and tried other fixes but nothing works. I don't know where else to look for QT components. Are there special "names" under which components may be listed? According to all my searches, no QT components remain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm out of ideas totally. Thanks.

Have you tryed this? Open the Folder Options control panel, click on the View tab. Scroll down to-Use simple file sharing[Recommended] and uncheck it, this will give you a Security button in case you need to use permissions later.
Also while in there put a dot in-Show hidden files and folders. I'm not sure if it requires a restart for the changes to take effect.
Now when you go to Start>Search>For files and folder>All files and folders, click on More advanced options and put checks in the boxes for, Search system folders, Search hidden files and folders, search subfolders.
Just for further info the uninstaller for QT7.1 is, QuickTimeUninstaller_ico located in C:\Windows\Installer\{C21D5524-A970-42FA-AC8A-59B8C7CDCA31}.
Not sure if the same series of numbers are on your computer.
