PSE 6 missing folder to install actions

For some reason I am missing part of the path to install actions on my Mac. The path I'm taking is~ Library\Application Support\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Photo Creations\Photo Effects. The path I'm missing is~ \6.0\Photo Creations\Photo Effects. I'm thinking it may have been my fault, I thought I copied the photo effects files and saved them to my external hard drive, I have since cleaned out my EHD and deleted the trash can. My effects are still working in PSE but the folder with the Photo Effects folder is not found. I have done a search on my computer and external components and nothing shows up. I'm thinking I will have to do an uninstall and reinstall in order to get the path back.
Any insight on my problem is much appreciated
Thanks,
Kari

You can't find that folder by searching in spotlight. My guess is that you must be looking in the wrong library--it's the one at the top level of your hard drive, not your username>library and not system>library. If you had inadvertently trashed those files, they wouldn't still be working in PSE. (they do still work, don't they, not just show up in the palette?)

Missing folder after installing myapplication with AppBuilder 8.5

In the project property for the installer, I created a data-folder for my application. This folder is for later use with the myapp. So during installation its empty.
After installation on the target PC, I miss the folder. Only the folder with the myapp has been created.
My system: LV8.5 full, AppBuilder on winXP SP2
Any idea?
Andreas

The installer builder does not support creating an empty folder. It's a feature that's been requested for a while, and we'd like to add it, but it has not been a high priority feature. The workaround is to install a dummy file (0 bytes) to the folder. Or you could configure the installer to run a batch file that creates an empty folder. The downside to using the batch file, however, is that the uninstaller won't know to remove the folder.

PSE 9 Help! My effects palette is blank! Also help installing actions..

Maybe these two problems are related?
I am new to PSE 9 but I was using 8 until now. I have great Actions that worked beautifully in PSE 8. I am trying to install them the same way for PSE 9 but I seem to be missing a whole folder.
The path I take is:
Library>Application Support>Adobe>PSE>9.0>Locale>
Then All there is is a "Photo Creations Thumbnails" folder which is empty.
Do I need to reinstall PSE?
Also, My effects palette is totally blank! Nothing there to click on!
Please help!!!
Thanks!

Thank you so much for all your help
I ended up Uninstalling and Re-installing. The effects palette is working fine now-but I am still unable to install my actions for some reason.
I went the same route and found the Photo Creations folder, copy pasted my actions.. When I opened PS, they were not there.
I went back and looking in the Photo Creations folder and the actions were not there. I RE-copied them in the folder and it said they were already there?
Weird.
I clicked to replace the old ones, and I still do not actually see them in the folder.
What the heck?

Installing Actions in PSE 9 Downloaded from App Store

Hi everyone,
I'm seeing quite a few folks who downloaded PSE 9 from Mac's app store that can't install actions into PSE. I've connected to their computers, unhid hidden folders, and looked for the navigation path I would have expected. That doesn't work. I ran searches for the native Elements actions like Blizzard and couldn't find them.
Nothing works. Any ideas?
At first I thought this was a Lion issue, but it appears that the App Store is the common theme. I know the App Store version doesn't have the Organizer, but I was under the impressions that it was the same other than that.
Thanks!

Hey guys, thanks so much for your time!
I've seen it on Lion - a brand new install on a brand new computer and I've seen it on 10.6.7, which is not, I think, Lion.
Mtstuner, I tried all but one of the suggestions on those links you sent. Even revealling the hidden files in the Library didn't do it. But I'll try the last suggestion regardless. If I could just find where Blizzard and the other native ATNs are stored, I'd be good.
I even tried that scary typing in the Mac terminal thing. Never have done that before. It did reveal hidden files, but not the ones I'm looking for.
I think it has something to do with the App version. Without the Organizer, I would expect the file structure to be different. However, I wouldn't expect it to be so different that I can't find the files anywhere. I've been able to find them on a million (or so) different computers/versions of PSE/operating systems. But this is the first time I've ever tried on an App.
I'm going to reconnect with one of these folks who is having issues tomorrow to see if there is anything else I can try. I'll report back if I get any more helpful info. I'm leaving on a vacation tonight, but this has really picqued my curiosity!
Thanks again for the help!

Installing Actions in PSE 9.0

This is probably something simple... but how do you install actions in PSE 9.0? I have Windows 7.0 Enterprise, 64 bit. Particularly, I am trying to Install Pioneer Woman's Actions. Thanks for your help.

The directions on the following page should help.
Just substitute pse9 where it says pse8.

Installing Actions in Elements 10 Mac/SSD drive

I've installed actions in Photoshop elements 9 before with no problem. I just tried to install an action in PSE 10 and here's the puzzling thing: I'm going to Library (not user library) / Application Support / Adobe / Photoshop Elements 10, but instead of seeing the Photo Creation folder and Locale folder, I'm only seeing a Presets folder and in the Presets folder is an Actions folder.
It's now the same in PSE 9 folder as well.
At first I thought, cool - Adobe changed this, but the action I put in the action folder doesn't show up and all the instructions I'm finding on the internet are telling me to install actions the way I did before - except those folders are not there for me!!
Since the last time I installed an action in Elements, I've upgraded my iMac to a one with an SSD drive / Mac Hard drive. I don't know how this might make a difference, but it's all I can think of.
I'm not really an Elements user, I just use it to test the Actions I make in Photoshop.
I'm making my action in PS CS2
My system is 10.7.5

There are two methods to play actions in PSE10. One from the Effects panel and other from the Action Player Guided Edit.
To play in Effects Panel:
Mac HD\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Photo Creations\photo effects
Put you .atn file and .png file here (as explained by 99jon)
To play in Action Player guided edit:
Mac HD\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Locale\<locale>\Workflow Panels\actions
Put your .atn file in this folder.

Help with installing actions PSE9 on Mac

Hi everyone! Thank goodness for support forums! I've been searching all over this afternoon to see if I could just install some simple presets in PSE9--I just got it and installed it on OSX 10.6.
I just can't figure out how to install actions. I've tried a number of things and it seems pretty simple but for some reason nothing is working (and yes, I've restarted PSE, multiple times in fact).
At first I was told to go to Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop Elements 9. The only file in there is "Presets" which I opened and there was a list of different files for different stuff (such as patterns and gradients). I thought it looked relatively easy because there's an empty folder in there called "Actions" into which I dragged my actions files. That didn't work, so I tried including the 64 x 64 png image with it, still no luck. Another place said that you should go to Applications > Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 > Locales > en_US and there would be a file called Mediadatabase.db3 that I'd have to edit the file name--I don't have that file in there and it's nowhere to be found on my computer.
So long story short, whichever method I try, actions still won't work/show up! I'd really appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advance!

For the first file path, it sounds like you are in the wrong library. You have three library files:
Your username>library
System>library
and the one at the top level of your hardrive. You want the last one.
Mediadatabase.db3 is in there too.

Installing actions in Adobe Elements

I have been trying to install actions into my Adobe Elements program. I can't find anywhere
for actions to go. This goes for backgrounds as well. When I look at the Adobe program file,
there isn't even a folder marked actions or backgrounds. There is no action pallet. No way to access any backgrounds. Is there something I am missing?

PSE 1.0 Vista and actions

Hi,
I have old PSE 1.0 and it seems to run smoothly with Vista Business edition. However, I can't anymore add new actions. I have tried to install actions to
"Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Previews\Effects" folder and I have removed all files in "Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements x\Previews\Cache\Effects Cache" folder.
For some reason my PSE doesn't create new cache files. Can anybody help?
Br,

Hi Pekka,
Well, to be quite honest, I'm surprised you got it to go at all.
Officially only 5 and 6 are "supposed" to work and 5 with a patch.
Cheers

PSE 8 will not install on my iMac

I've been trying to install PSE 8 on my iMac for the last 8 hours and I've searched and read until my mind feels foggy...
I just installed Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.2 and then tried to install PSE 8. After I insert the installation disk I get a PSE 8 disk image on my desktop. When I click on the disk image a PSE window opens that contains a PSE 8 folder and a Adobe Reader folder and Readme files in several languages. Clicking on the PSE 8 folder only opens other miscellaneous files and none of seem to have anything to do with starting the installation process.
The strange thing is that, on one occasion after dozens of tries to start the installation, I clicked on the PSE 8 folder and it opened a window with a setup folder. When I clicked that folder, installation began and I thought everything was going to be o'k. But, in the end, I got a message that the installation had failed. I restarted my computer and tried again but the setup folder is nowhere to be found again. When I checked my applications, I found that Bridge CS4 and Extension Manager CS4 are there but there is no PSE 8 editing program.
Something is obviously buggy and/or some installation files are corrupted and I have no idea what to do next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

O'k...thanks for you help V...I managed to finally get PSE 8 successfully installed!
Here is what worked for me:
1. I used an a great, little application named AppDelete to uninstall Bridge CS4 and Extension Manager for CS4 and anything else Adobe that was added to my applications folder from the previous failed installation attempts. Some parts of the total PSE 8 package were actually getting installed (Bridge CS4 etc.) but, near the end of the installation process, it would hang up and abort when the progress bar showed "now installing PSE 8."
By the way, AppDelete is an inexpensive Mac uninstaller that can be purchased and downloaded from the web. It finds and deletes files that are often left behind when deleting applications by the normal proess of dragging them to the trash on a Mac.
(Note: I did not uninstall Photoshop CS which was the only other Adobe app I have since it wasn't associated with my attempts to install PSE 8.)
2. Then using the PSE 8 installation disk to open the PSE window, I copied the PSE 8 folder to my desktop, ejected the installation disk and then started the reinstallation by clinking PSE 8 setup folder from my desktop. This time the installtion was successful.
It appears that something got messed up when I upgraded to Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.2 and then tried to install PSE 8. Judging from the number of posts I found regarding others who have experienced similar problems, I hope Adobe is working on a patch for Mac users.
I'm not sure why this problem occurred in the first place, but with your assistance it has been solved.
Thanks very much!

Photoshop Elements 11 and installing actions

I tried time and again to install actions from Pure and cannot find them once I do all the necessary steps. I cannot pay someone every time I buy actions and want to install them. I did all the steps from several you tube videos and think they are in but cannot find. Shouldn't they be on the right with all my other actions? I get to the point where I copy the actions and paste them into another file and that's up posed to be the last step and they aren't there.

In pse 11 there is a seperate panel available for adding/removing action files. You can know more about it from http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS57a26560eb6a24db1e1a3067139e6fd9e17- 8000.html
The simplest way to install an action in PSE 11 is:
Open Action panel from Window >Action ( the option is available only in expert mode)
click the right top button to open up the options
choose "load actions"
choose your action file and click ok.
Please note that the action would be available here till you choose "reset actions..". In that case you need to load your actions again
Please do reply in case of any doubt

Re-installing actions in pse10 on windows 8.1

PLEASE HELP! Just got a new computer running windows 8.1. Have installed actions many times before and they work great, but now when I install them it shows that its building content but the actions are not there. Please help!!

The message for "building content" is shown when the application makes MediaDatabase.db3 file for the contents it is going to use inside the application.
Here is what you should try:
Quit Photoshop Elements Editor and Organizer
Delete the MediaDatabase.db3 file from folder "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Locale\en_us\" (replace en_us with locale of the software that you use)
Launch Photoshop Elements Editor from location C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe with holding down ctrl+alt+shift keys and let the application build the content. This could take a little while, so be patient
Please let us know if this works for you

I just replaced the power supply in my Intel imac and now the screen is really really dark and I see the missing folder icon, what do I do?

The power supply in my Intel iMac went out (and smelled pretty burned) so I replced it and now when I start it up the display is so dark I can hardly see it and it shows the missing folder icon. Is it the inverter? Or if shine a flashlight on it and re-install the OS will changing the display settings maybe fix it?

Thanks for ur quick reply to my problem. I tried all of that with no results... I did notice tho that the lights next to and above my caps lock key and my num lk key are now flashing. They flash in unison three times then there is a two second pause then they flash three more times and this repeats. They may have been doing this before I tried this solution but I did not take notice until now... I was also wondering how I am supposed to know, after pressing f10 to enter bios, how I can tell if my new drive is being detected when my monitor will not function? Was pressing f10 supposed to possibly make the monitor turn on? In a last ditch effort to try and further identify the problem, I re installed my old drive. Before replacing it my computer would begin to boot then display a hard error that would not allow me to continue booting and run Windows. My display would still work but I could not run Windows. After re installing the drive the monitor will not turn on. I'm beginning to think that I have a bad monitor. Is there a way of testing this with out buying one? Where does the monitor connect to the mother board? I wonder if maybe its been jarred loose, although I highly doubt it, it may still be worth looking at. Thanks again for your advice.

Locate missing folder with new hard drive

What is the best way to tell Lightroom 1.4 where all your files are if all of them have been moved from an internal drive to an external drive?
The condition I am concerned about is that after I have moved these files I do not see same ole folders in the Library module (aka folders of images in all the old folders on the hard drive)
I have just moved my all photos from an internal to an external hard drive. I have gone through a few image by image and "locate(d) missing file". I would like to be able to do a master or one time "locate missing file" or really locate missing folder to locate everything all at once.
Is it possible to "locate missing folder or file on a a big scale? The files are the same same names etc.

yes that concerns me to. In the past when I have moved folders around "re-arranged" files or folders, I have successfully located the missing folder (file) on the hard drive thus directing Lightroom to this new location and all the sub folders do "fall into place" Since this has not been my experience with thisnew hard drive I am just wondering if ....well just wondering if I should back up Lightroom take off computer and re-load the software. I do not know the possible consequences of this action.
I do not import the files into Lightroom.

When I open iMovie, it says that quick time componets are missing, "Please re-install"...When I do that it says that ONLY 9 is supported and I have to have that first. What gives with that?

When I open iMovie, it says that quick time componets are missing, "Please re-install"...When I do that it says that ONLY 9 is supported and I have to have that first. What gives with that?

What version of iPhoto are you using?
This is the the first time I have ever launched it.
Does that mean there are no photos in the library? If so move it to the Trash bin in the Dock and launch iPhoto again.
If there are photos in the library do the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
