PSE 12 Organizer stops working during import

I just upgraded to PSE 12 and cannot get the Organizer to import using "From Files and Folders" option. After selecting [Import][From Files and Folders], Organizer opens Windows Explorer view and then I receive the popup that program has stopped working and Windows is searching for resolution. I can re-open Organizer without any impact that I can tell but error repeats if I try to import. I can import the pictures into Organizer from the File Save  As option while in Editor.
I have tried:
1. Launching Organizer with Catalog Options trying new, rebuild and conversion(from PSE11) but none have helped.
2. Renamed Media*.db3 file and launched Organizer but same result.
Very frustrating to have new/upgraded product and it not work as expected.
I've got PSE12 loaded on a Windows 7 Home Premium PC.

Back again...during my search for psa.prf and status.dat I noticed folders and files from Version 7 and 11 still on my PC. Thinking that maybe they could be causing conflict I uninstalled PSE v12 and PE v12, removed all Adobe folders related to PSE and PE, then I edited my registry removing any entry containing reference to either program. I then re-installed PSE v 12, started out with new catalog and got same result although the error message changed from "Program stopped responding..." pop-up to Visual C++ Runtime error pop-up. I then upgraded to PSE V12.1 same results. Then went thru same process with PE v12 with no improvement.
Extremely disappointing!!!

  • PSE 10 Organizer Stopped Working

    I have been using PSE 7  and PRE 7 without any problems.  Since it is no longer supported, I recently installed PSE 10 and PRE 10.  I received the message ""PSE Organizer Stopped working". There are suggestion on the forum to create a new catalog when receiving the message  ..I did.   How do I get my photos into this catalog from My Catalog used in PSE 7?
    Thank you!

      In Organizer click File à catalog
    Then click the Convert button
    Select your PSE7 catalog and click Convert.
     

  • PSE 12 has stopped working and will not open.

    PSE 12 suddenly stopped working while editing.  I tried restarting the Organizer which opens but does not finish loading after a few seconds, and gives an error message ... "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  I've received no notifications.  Any suggestions?  Do I download another copy?  How do I locate and retain my Catalog which is really important?  Thanks in advance.

    Operating system? and how are you opening it? From a shortcut, from the welcome screen, from the organizer, from the program/application file itself?

    Does it freeze with other type of cards.  Have seem some post that suggest an imbedded CODEC on the flash card can cause file corruption in Bridge and Mac Finder.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer stopped working on Windows 7 Ultimate N.

    A few months ago, Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer stopped working on my Windows 7 Ultinate N computer.  The photo editor still works and so does Adobe Premiere Elements 8.  Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?  I've done a lot of looking on the Internet with no luck.
    Thanks!

    Hi Michel
    Have tried those few things that seem to be still applicable to version 11 (as you will know it is not being maintained and stops at version 8).  
    However, I don't understand what is meant by "sometimes deleting it's saved preferences and registry entries fixes the problem.  To do that see these Adobe Tech. notes."   Unfortunately the link goes to a page which no longer exists.  I guess that rather than "deleting" the saved preferences the author means re-setting to default ?   "Deleting registry entries" is a task which should, as I understand it, only be done by those with a high degree of expertise.  I am not one of them !
    Any comment you have will be gratefully received.

    My apple tv stopped working during a movie. I tried to reload software .it deleted it, but won 't reload it.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Turbomedic.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • Z30 stopped working during 10.2.1 update

    My Z30 stopped working during the 10.2.1 update (Fido). The screen is completely dark, the only sign of life is the blinking red light. The pattern is 1 long blink followed by a pause and then 6 quick blinks. I have purchased tech support for 50$ without any resolution. Now on day 4 of issue.
    Does anyone have any idea how to get my  phone  back to life????
    Here is what I have tried already:
    I tried reloading the OS via bb link. Keep getting a error: "error communicating with device"
    I tried reinstalling my bb link and reloading the OS
    I tried reloading the OS via online os update
    The same things were tried by tech support and no luck there either.
    I did all these things with and without sim/micro SD

    Try a new USB cable. If doesn't work turn phone off plug into computer with link open and then turn on when plugged in then hit reinstall. Phone sounds like it is bricked. See if this helps.

  • Elements 11 organizer stops working

    My elements 11 organizer stops working (not responding message)  or is very slow that is when it does'nt blue screen my PC. If I am doing anything else my PC runs fine but as soon as I try to open elements it crashes. I have tried running elements with XP which makes it worse but even with windows 7 which it used to run ok with is having these problem.  I have run virus scans,updates and anything else I can do to try and help element run properly. Please can anyone help as this is getting very frustrating.

    Ernie, it shouldn't be required. This is a scientific process, a test to find the origin of the issue. If there is something wrong with the catalog, we can try to repair it, but the fact is there are many possible causes to such behavior and we have to start somewhere. Here is a more complete list of the steps you can take to counter this kind of issue: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-photoshop. html
    Is everyone here getting a blue screen from the OS? If so, there are much greater problems at hand than it is possible for an application on your computer to cause. Blue Screen errors are caused by hardware issues. Sometimes it is physically faulty parts, but most of the time it is some sort of driver conflict (generally just an old version that needs to be updated). Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for major hardware components, such as your video card. DO NOT rely on your OS to get the current versions of the drivers. Go to the manufacturer's website and download them directly.

  • PSE 11 Organizer quits working when I try to create a slide program.

    How do I correct the problem of PSE 11 organizer not working when I try to create a slide program.

    I've got the same problem. I have just bought a Windows 7 PC with an i7 processor and 8Gb RAM. This wasn't an issue with my previous PC running Windows XP and PSE 6 so I thought it was down to PSE 6 and Windows 7 being somehow incompatible. I therefore downloaded a trial of PSE 8 but this also crashes every time I try to create a slide show.
    I have uninstalled Intervideo WinDVD as recommended by John's link and followed the other instructions as well but this bug doesn't seem to go away.
    However a workaround for me is that I can open previous slide shows (created under Windows XP and PSE 6), edit them and save as a new project. The slide show function is still very very unstable however and I have to save after each single successful action. It seems to crash at random but mostly when I try to insert any music into a project. It can be very frustrating and time-consuming for something that should be a very simple task for a grown-up, expensive program.
    Anybody got any other ideas? Of course I've reported this to Adobe but I'm not expecting a reply (I've never had one so far so why should they change?).

  • My elements 7 organizer "stopped working" how do I fix this?

    My Photoshop elements 7 Organizer "stopped working".  How do I fix this?

    I see that you responded to a previous post about this error that you're trying to follow the suggested fixes and do not know what your <username> is.
    It is the name in the screen you use when you log on to Windows.  You can also find it by opening Windows Explorer, expanding the "Local Disk (C:)" folder, expanding the "Users" folder and seeing the name of the folder listed below the "Administrator" folder.

  • Gps stop working during the run

    I've purchased my SW3 mainly due to GPS stand alone.
    unfortunately it stops work during the run or just  about 10 minutes after has started. 
    I've tried My tracks , Run Keeper IFit outside and all of them happen the same .
    could you fix this ?

    Quote
    You need to download Google's My Tracks app and it will sync to your phone. Once you do just go down to my tracks and select run, and once it locks you'll see that location icon in the top left corner of watch showing that it has GPS lock

  • Elements 12 organizer has stopped working on importing of files

    I am running a brand new PC w8.1 fresh install, second install of elements and photoshop 12.  when I am attempting to import my files in the organizer I am getting a consistant crash "Elements 12 organizer has stopped working".  Need assistance to make this go away.
    Background:
    The crash happens while importing videos or photos (have not even gotten to the part to work with files yet)
    I have tried to take smaller imports (less then a couple hundred files) but that doesn't seem to matter.
    It is not crashing on a consistent file.  Sometimes when I try again, it completes the import.
    Brand new Dell PC 7i, 24 gig ram, amd advance graphics card (PC not the issue)
    Windows 8.1 pretty much out of the box.
    Tried to "rename" the psa file to psaold, (still crashing).
    Re installed software, no change
    Downloaded the latest updates for everything.

    Thanks for any help you can give me, I hate to have to return the product but considering how unstable it is when everything is fresh, I cant imagine living with this.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 organizer stops working after about 15 minutes with windows 7??

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled, changed preferences, removed preferences, added administrator priviledges with full control to several screens, turned over my screen to Dipanjan, Adobe Rep and still does exactly the same thing. Very frustrating! Anyone else getting this windows pop up screen " Photoshop Elements 11 organizer has stopped working" ?
    If I don't resolve this soon, I'm going back to PSE 10 and I guess I'll just have to eat the money wasted on it.
    Finally resolution!
    Three separate days totaling about 8-10 hours of chat then another 3 or more hours in chat about this issue today with 3 different people. Finally got to Vijay, who said to:
    click on edit in the organizer,
    go to preferences,
    click on media anaylsis,
    uncheck all the boxes.
    That did it!!! Less than two minutes, done!  No more problems. I can't imagine how much of Adobe's and my time and productivity was wasted going through all the laborious steps, often times repeating the same procedures when I got some one new, only to start all over again. 
    Many thanks Vijay. You suceeded where so many others failed!
    I sincerely hope if anyone else suffers this dilemma, this will instantly resolve it for you and avoid the extreme frustration and agony I went through.
    Cheers!
