PSE 6: Organizer won't import ANYTHING...plz help me

The problem is pretty much what the title of my post is. I installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled Photoshop Elements 6 and whether I try to "Get" photos via folders or single images, I get these two errors. I will add the screen captures of the two windows I get when I try to "Get Photos"
Let me know if you can't see the pictures, please. Keep in mind two things. One, I tried it with the monitoring folders option on AND off. Two, even when I just only have the monitor folder option on and don't try to import any, it still doesn't import them on it's own.

Forgot to mention I have tried all different kinds of image file types. Thanks!

Well, if you're still having problems, then one of three things is likely going on:
The installation of Photoshop Elements is messed up.
Your files are damaged or the Organizer has some kind of problem with them.
OR
The Organizer has some kind of problem with the location of your images.
So, I'd recommend that you start off by removing Photoshop Elements by following this document:
http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb408483_en-us (For Vista, see this document instead: http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb406487_en-us)
Then, re-install, but do it by following solution 14 in this document:
http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb406559_en-us (For Vista, see solution 15 in this document instead: http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb406560_en-us)
If it still won't import, then it's the files or their location. So, tell us more about the file names, and the complete location (the drive and full folder path) and hopefully we can help you find out what's wrong with this part.

PSE 6 Organizer - Vorschaubilder bei Import

In der Version 5 des Photoshop Elements Organizer konnte man beim Importieren der Bilder von externen USB-Festplatten noch optional Vorschaubilder erstellen lassen. Dieses funktioniert in der Version 6 leider nicht mehr. Nur noch beim Importieren von CD/DVD.
Wirklich schade, dass dieses durchaus sinnvolle Feature nun entfallen ist. Der Vorteil war, dass bei ausgeschalteter externer USB-Festplatte, auf der die original Fotos liegen, dennoch Offline-Bilder in ausreichender Qualität auf dem Monitor betrachtet werden konnten.

PSE 9 Organizer Unable to Import from iPhoto '11

When I try to import pictures from iPhoto '11 using the PSE 9 Organizer, I get the following message:
There is no media to import from iPhoto
I wonder if Adobe has not yet caught up with iPhoto '11 that came with recently introduced iLife '11. The iPhoto '09 catalog was converted in some way when I ran iPhoto '11 for the first time.
Anyone else having this problem or come up with a solution?

If you go to export in IPhoto 11, IPhoto 11 is not listed in applications while IPhoto 9 is listed but there is no way to export photos using this or items associated with it.
Don't understand this, or did you mean in the options for External Editor rather than Export? If so, there should be Other at the bottom of the window. Navigate to the actual PSE 9 editor application, which is the first of the two files in the PSE 9 folder that has a blue square for an icon. You want the square without the version number in the file name, and without the little curved black alias arrow on it.
If you mean you want to put the photos into the Organizer, you select the photos you want to export, go to File> Export, then put the exported photos where you want and use File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders in the Organizer.

Address Book Won't Import... help?

Hi All. My address book will import a .csv file if I just use a couple of fields, name, company, phone.
But if I want the rest, all seems normal, until I click on 'OK'.. then the blue OK button turns off and no import. The app is still alive and working, just won't import a full list of fields... I have tried deleting the cache, no difference. Suggestions?
Thanks for your time.

Thanks Austin... you may have noticed my recent smattering of posts regarding email, address book and importing - two of which you have been kind enough to reply to, thank you.
I am migrating 6 years of msn/goldmine (frustrations) to Contactizer and am running into a few minor anomoles. Although Contactizer uses the same database as ABook, ABook would not import the address fields, but Contactizer did... so that one is done.
However, there are many multiple contacts in there - but after running 'look for duplicate records' ABook always returns none,... and Contactizer does not provide duplicate checking. Go figure...
I received your earlier email regarding the applescript, thanks. Still looking at that one though, I can't seem to make sense of it... I'll keep going back to it.
Regards.

plz help me.

And no purchased content works?
Try this...
Part 1:
1. Navigate to \iPod_Control\iTunes on the iPod in Windows Explorer. You may have to turn on Show Hidden Files and folders. To do this, go to Tools-->Folder Options, click the view tab, click the bubble to show hidden files and folders, click Apply, and click OK. Look for the presence there of a file named iEKInfo. Is it there? If so, make a copy of this onto your computer somewhere. While there, make a copy of iTunesDB also. Don't delete these copies.
2. Create a new, administrator user in Windows . (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
3. Log out of the current user.
4. Log into the new user.
5. Restore the iPod as documented in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983.
6. Open iTunes.
7. Set the Music sync preference in iTunes for the iPod to Manual mode.
8. Download the free single of the week from the iTunes Music Store.
9. Verify that the song plays in iTunes.
10. Drag only this song to the iPod.
11. Eject the iPod from iTunes.
12. Disconnect the iPod from the computer.
Does the song play?
If the iPod is able to play this song, follow these steps:
Part 2:
1. Log out of the new user.
2. Log back into the original (affected) user.
3. Reconnect the iPod to the computer.
4. Drag some of the older purchased content (that would not play before) to the iPod.
5. Eject the iPod from iTunes.
6. Disconnect the iPod from the computer.
Does the affected content play?
Is the iPod still having the same issue? Try these possible solutions:
Part 3:
* Delete the SC Info.sidb file as documented in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386.
* If the issue persists, recreate the iTunes Music Library as described in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313.
Does the music play?
Please post back if this works or not.

PSE 12 Organizer won't open

Hi everyone,
I have tried to install, uninstall and reinstall PSE12 to get the organizer to work but have had no luck. When I first installed the program, the organizer worked for my first transfer of RAW files from a memory card. Afterwards, I tried to move some of the old files into the organizer and while creating thumbnails it crashed. It has not worked since even after uninstalling and reinstalling to software. Here are the details:
What version of Photoshop Elements? PSE 12
Have you installed the recent updates? No, installed software, cannot get the organizer to open.
What operating system? Windows 7 Ultimate, SP1
What kind(s) of image file(s)? Nikon RAW
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? No message. There is a bar show activity but it does not open. The editor does open.
What were you doing when the problem occurred? Transferring old pictures.
Has this ever worked before? Yes, once after the initial install.
What other software are you running?
Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive? 4GB Ram. 239GB Free.
Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to PSE, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs? No changes.

I have had the same problem. The introductory screen opens and when I click on organizer it opens. Then if I try to open Photo Editor from withinorganizer or from the introductory screen nothing happens. I chatted with text help but they were not helpful.One wonders if they are there not so much to help as to get you to sign up onto more and costlier programs rather than be of actual help in solvining a problem I uninstalled my virus protection as well as PSE 12 then reinstalled PSE 12 and turned on my virus protection, nothing changed. I did that several times. I took the computer to the place where it was built and the tech service person worked on it for several hours. At that point he came to the conclusion that it was an Adobe Corrupted file or something that Adobe has in the program that is causing a conflict. When I first installed the program it worked well. Then a few days ago I started seeing on the introductory screen messages to try/purchase Ps and Li and then the program stopped working. Not sure if there is a relationship between the two. I also had a second Tech support company looked at the progran going through the uninstal/instal procedure cleaning things up with CCleaner and stil does not work, The Adobe tech help guys are totally useless and who are well aware that their suggestions will not lead to a solution.
The tech company even downloaded the program directly from Adobe Web site and its still no good. It could be that there is a conflict with the welcome screen and the ads for Ps and Li that suggenly started appearing. Aside from 2 tech companies I have wasted 2 days trying to resolve the issue. There are no updates or fixes for PSE 12 and it seems we are dealing with a piece of junk. Shame as Adobe is such a well known company and has many decent products used through out the world. Based on the forums I am not alone and it doesn't seem that Adobe is too interested in moving to install fix. Time to move on and download GIMP, a free version of a photoshop editorwhich has similar features and some claim is even better.
Now I have to cancel my Photoshop Elements 12 course as I don't have a program to follow in class.

PSE 9 organizer crashed when importing large # photos

I am attempting to import all of my photos, from "My Pictures" in multiple sub-directories. PSE counts them and indicates there are over 18,000. The import starts, but then it and the whole program crashes at about photo number 3,900.
Attempting to import a smaller number, about 5000 in one of the larger subfolders, does not address the issue... the same thing happens.
Trying to import a small sub-folder (second sub level), which might have only 100-200 photos, does not crash.
It would be extremely time consuming to have to select each low-level sub-folder individually!
Is there a way to increase the top end limit.
WHY IS THERE A LIMIT AT ALL?
PROGRAM SHOULD NOT CRASH.
I have Windows 7 with all the updates, all updated drivers, etc.

Navigate to My Pictures and press Ctrl+A to select all.
Then Ctrl+Click to deselect any folder known to contain really large files e.g raw images and video files. These are most likely to cause difficulties, using up vast amounts of RAM.
This should result in a greater chance of success.
After importing the bulk of your folder you can deal with the deselected folders separately.

Suddenly having trouble with LR4.2 ... won't import anything ... program locks up (not responding)

any ideas on how to fix this or what causes it to happen? I tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it, also rebooted my computer.
Thanks!

Only by reading other posts does it appear that it is an issue with catalog handling that ( not yet tested personally ) can be resolved by starting a new catalog. Mine currently takes 30 sec to load the import splash screen then refuses to progress at anything other than a snail pace. Adobe have remained resolutely silent on the topic and stand behind their usual wall of indifference and call backlogs.

After Effects Won't Import ANYTHING!

So I just got After Effects ( which I was REALLY looking forward to! ). However, after installation, I tried importing a few different video files, all with the same problem... AE8 crashes! It won't even import pictures! Anyone got any ideas?

Application Data is a system directory and should by default other programs to write data at the system level. You can verify so by checking the directories properties. Right-click, choose "Properties", then go to the security tab. There should be an entry called "SYSTEM" and it should have full access. if that's the case, then the only thing I can think of is some security tool (virus scanner, firewall) having a hold over the directory and files. Temporarily turning of this tool or adjusting its surveillance settings to not monitor certain file types and directories should allow you to rectify the issue. Perhaps such a thing was even the initial reason for your troubles...

Lightroom 5.3 Mac won't import anything

I recently upgraded from Lightroom 4.x to 5.3, and I am now unable to import any new images. The import dialog allows me to select files, but once I press the import button (and this includes using "Add", "Copy", and "Copy as DNG"), nothing happens. I've left it 'transferring' overnight — nothing. I eventually cancel and a box pops up that says "No photos or videos were found to import.
I feel like I've scoured the entirety of these forums, but I've found no solution that works. I sat on hold with Adobe's nearly impossible-to-find tech support phone number for two and a half hours tonight before hanging up. No one ever got on the phone with me. Anyway. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling LR5 and working with a fresh catalog. No luck. I even deleted all the preference files and everything. Nothing. I'm about to be in a real bind if I can't import new work soon. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Tony.
I'm shooting a Nikon D800, but I've also tried importing numerous different file types. It ranges from RAW files from the D800 to photos shot with an iPhone 5s, and even TIFs from a Nikon Coolscan 8000. I'm importing nothing different than before. Also, I should note that often, only a handful of thumbnails for the images in the to-be-imported folder appear.
One other discovery I've made — which may point to this being a problem with OS X Mavericks and not so much Lightroom — I logged into another fresh admin account on the computer and launched LR to test if it would import any photos into a fresh catalog. It seemed to work without a hitch.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the import dialog. This is a fresh catalog. And I cleared recent paths to no avail.
FWIW, I've scheduled an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar tomorrow afternoon to see if they might help remedy this an a couple of other minor issues. Thank goodness for Applecare.
Thanks Tony.

PSE 9 Organizer Won't Open

Is there an update or a fix for opening problems with Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer? it will open a few seconds then the Organizer closes and can't be used. Based on a quick Internet search, I found this to be a common problem but no one seems to have a common, workable solution. This software costs too much for it work like this.
Any help wiill be greatly appreciated.

The Organizer preferences may have become corrupted, needing to be automatically re-built on a re-start. If using Windows:
Close Elements.
Click the Start Button and then your user name (in place of mine) and navigate to:
C: 99Jon >> AppData >> Roaming >> Adobe >> Elements Organizer >>9.0 >> Organizer
Delete the PSA file (with key symbol) and delete Status.dat
Re-start the program
AppData may be a hidden system file. See the link to reveal hidden files.

HELP! PSE-7 Organizer won't launch; Program blames DirectX

I just installed PhotoShop Elements 7. I launch the progarm and the initial program choice seen appears (Organize, Edit, Create, Share). Whenever I choose Organize, an Adobe error box appears, stating the following: "DirectX is installed but could not be initialized. Please reboot your system and then relaunch Photoshop Elements." I then get an MS-Windows box saying that Adobe PhotoShop Elements needs to shut down - and then it shuts down on its own.
After this happens, I reboot my system and try again. Same outcome. So I downloaded and installed the latest version of DirectX that I know will work on my Windows XP system (v9.0c) and I try again. Same outcome. The Edit, Create and Share programs seem to work, just not Organizer.
Can anyone help me?

I have Elements4 and had the same problem. I was close to tears at having to choose to uninstall and lose my 25000 (yes, 25 thousand) photos (even though I wasn't actually losing my actual save photos, just the organization of them). Just a few minutes ago I resolved the problem by inserting the PSE4 install disk. I wanted to see what options I would be presented with. There were two options - "REPAIR" and "UNINSTALL". I tried the "REPAIR" option and it immediately found the DirectX problem and corrected it. I was so happy and relieved that I had to immediately reply to your help request because I know how frustrating it can be. Try the install disk and see if PSE7 has a repair option. Good Luck!!

MacBook Air suddenly doesn't recognize my keychain passwords. Now iCloud, Safari and anything associated (including Systems Preferences) won't work. Plz help - any ideas?

The only thing I can think that I've done differently is that I'd downloaded a scanner driver from Canon. Everything worked fine for days after that. It wasn't until I shut down the computer and restarted it that I keep getting these prompts to enter keychain passwords and it rejects the only passwords I've ever used. No idea what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)

I just found the fix in another post! Here it is, in case anyone has the same issue...
