PSE 8, Edit, Preferences locks up

I have Photoshop Elements 8 and using Windows 7 operating system. When I am in Organize and go into Edit and then Preferences and then try to click on anything in the Preferences PSE 8 locks up. Any suggestions? This means I can not do a sync or change anything.

I had already tried that, but signed in again and signed out. Still locks up in the loading process. None of the preference items works, locks up in loading with everything.

PSE 9 Organize, edit/preferences locks up the program

I just loaded PSE9 on a core i7 with 12GB RAM and 800 GB HD. In Organize, the memu bar doesn't display, and I guess that has to do with the size of the font which can be sort of fixed by selecting "use system fonts" under "Edit/preferences, general". But when I select anything under preferences, I get a popup that says "loading" ......forever. I have to use the task manager to close the program to get out of that. I'd sure appreciate any thoughts as to the fix on this one. Thanks.

You seem to be right that the missing menu bar in Organize can be repaired by going to "smaller" (100%) in Contol Panel > Display. That isn't required in Edit. This is a pain (requires restart) and makes it difficult for people with eyes my age to read emails etc.
It would be nice if there were a simpler solution or if Adobe would create a fix in PSE 9. As a brand new PSE user, this hung me up for a while trying to learn the program.
Have you found a better way around this.

Unable to edit preferences in PSE 10 organizer

Hi all,
I have searched to see if this topic has been previously posted, so if I have missed it, please forgive me.,,,
Anyone else experiencing not being able to get passed the "loading" msg that appears after attempting to edit preferences in PSE 10 organizer?
Any solutions?
Thx
Teris

Hi
No I am sorry to report no changes to this issue and yes Adobe support still working on it with me.
I will report back if/when it is resolved for sure and I am following this convo string.
This is the latest from tech support suggestions, may it will assist you.
Disable all network connections through Windows options, reboot, then try again?
Physically disconnecting Ethernet and unplug any external drives or devices leaving Keyboard and Mouse. Unplug Printers and scanners too.
The Photoshop.com and Online Services features in the Preferences make calls out to the Internet. Additionally, most of the panels (including the Photoshop.com one) are Flash-based. Flash Player _always_ attempts to connect to the Internet when it first loads, regardless of where it's loading from.
Update Photoshop Elements.
Update Camera Raw.
Uninstall Codecs and Quick time.

Use the Windows Basic Theme.
Move the TWAIN file on the desktop.

PSE 6 crashes at Edit/Preferences menu

applications hangs up when selecting preferences

The application hangs on selecting the Edit->Preferences from the Organizer or the Editor?
If its from the Organizer it may be due to a TWAIN driver, try the following:
Delete or rename the .ds files located at C:\Windows\Twain_32. Launch PSE and see if it still hangs.
Your scanner may stop working on deleting/renaming the .ds file. You can install the drivers for the scanner from net to get the scanner working again.

Reproducible both on x86_64 and i386 (acroread is 32bit anyway
on both platforms).

This is caused by deleting the libcurl.so.3.0.0 and using symlinks to
libcurl.so.4.0.0:
%elseif %suse_version >= 1030
rm
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%INSTALL_DIR/Adobe/Reader8/Reader/intellinux/lib/lib{crypto,ssl,curl,gcc_s, stdc++}.so*
# libcurl.so.4 and libcurl.so.3 are supposedly compatible, see bnc#353251

That's correct, as to the sybmols and data structures, there was no change.
Only the few curl_easy_setopt() options that nobody uses anyway got removed.
E.g. Debian "cheats" by packaging a libcurl.so.3 -> libcurl.so.4 symlink, we
could do that too, either in the curl package or in acroread.rpm.
------- Comment #6 From Mike Fabian 2008-04-23 10:24:45 MST -------

Apparently libcurl.so.3 and libcurl.so.4 are not as compatible as we
thought because keeping the libcurl.so.3.0.0 which comes with the
acroread tarball instead of creating symlinks to libcurl.so.4.0.0
make this problem go away.
------- Comment #7 From Mike Fabian 2008-04-23 11:48:55 MST -------

Even with the right version of libcurl it doesnt work.
With the right version of libcurl it is possible to
click on the Edit → Preferences → Reviewing category once.
Then one sees:
Shared Reviews
Check for new comments:
Every 15 minutes when the document is open [ | ]
Every 2 hours in the background [ | ]
Show Review Tracker Alerts:
Over a rolling window of 60 minutes [ | ]
[Cancel] [ OK ]
Click on [Cancel] or [ OK ] and exit acroread.
Restart acroread.
Click on Edit → Preferences.
Hangs already.
------- Comment #8 From Mike Fabian 2008-04-23 11:54:18 MST -------
[ ] Private
After entering the Reviewing setup dialog once and exiting
acroread, there are two sockets in the configuration directory:
mfabian@magellan:~$ ls .adobe/Acrobat/8.0/Synchronizer/
Commands= adobesynchronizersLockObj-lock metadata/
Notification= adobesynchronizersu80
mfabian@magellan:~$
After deleting these sockets
rm .adobe/Acrobat/8.0/Synchronizer/{Commands,Notification}
one can enter the Edit → Preferences → Reviewing dialog again. But
only for one session, the problem reappears after the next restart of
acroead because the sockets are there again.
------- Comment #9 From Mike Fabian 2008-04-23 11:56:17 MST -------

Therefore, using the libcurl.so.3.0.0 which comes with acroread
doesnt help all that much. Delays the hang somewhat but thats it.

The problem described in comment #7 and comment #8 happens
both on x86_64 and i386 platforms.

Acrobat Pro 9 freezes when trying to edit preferences

I have Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
When I try to Edit-> Preferences, the application locks up. It eventually goes to 'not responding" and I have to kill it using Task Manager.
I found this problem when I was troubleshooting a customer's issue where he could not Extract pages from a PDF document. The Extract window would come up, he would put in the pages he wanted and start the process. It would act like its going through the motions but nothing would happen and he would have to open task manager to stop the Acrobat process.
I was able to duplicate the problem with my Administrator account. I also found the same problem when I tried to go to Edit > Preferences. Acrobat went into a not responding state and I had to kill the process using Task Manager.
I have verified that the problem is not document specific: It happens on multiple documents. If I copy the document to another machine with Acrobat Pro 9, I have no problem Extracting pages.
I have uninstalled Acrobat Pro 9. That included removing c:\program files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\acrobat* and c:\program files\common files\Adobe\Acrobat\* I rebooted the computer and then reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. Same problem for both my regular and my administrator accounts.
I have compared permissions and registry entries between this machine and one where its working but have not found any differences.
Any suggestions on what else to try would be greatly appreciated.

You would think. However, repairing Adobe, uninstalling (including deleting registry entries, c:\program files\common files\Adobe\Acrobat\* and c:\program files\Adobe\* , etc) did not resolve the issue.

How can I disable the Edit- Preferences- Network- Settings- Noproxy option

I want to disable the Edit->Preferences->Network->Settings->Noproxy option
Every user user should access internet only via proxy settings what i should do for that and also should not be allowed to change the option

Note that on Linux, the default is to use the "Use the system proxy settings" setting for the connection.
You can look at these prefs to lock:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/network.proxy.type
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/network.proxy.%28protocol%29
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/network.proxy.%28protocol%29_port
Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Iphoto 11 + pse 9 editing

I have iphoto 11 pse 9 ,when I edit using pse as external editor and save simply clicking save ( not save as) when I try to reopen the photo a big black exclamtion mark appears. What's happening?

See if this info is helpful:
Using Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
s I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto". That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
Click to view full size
This way you get the best of both worlds.

I just installed iTunes on my computer, where I already have all my music. I went to Edit Preferences Advanced, and changed the iTunes Media Folder Location to where I have all my music, in the "Local Disk." But iTunes wont import all my music. Help?

Have you looked in the Music App on your iPhone? On the iPhone music is played by the Music App not iTunes.

In iTunes on my windows 7 PC, the Edit/Preferences dropdown window,some of the tab windows are not large enough to see all options that are available. The borders of the window cannot be draged larger. As a result, I can not uncheck or check some box's.

The borders of the window cannot be draged larger. As a result, I can not uncheck or check some box's on several of the preferences pages. The Apple people at the store did not help. I have lownloaded the latest version of iTunes and this is still an issue. HELP.

Is there really nobody else with this problem? Really?

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

"No iPod Connected" in iTunes under Edit - Preferences

I bought this 20gb clickwheel iPod from a friend as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend... I'm trying to install it on my PC first so I can put some songs on it so it is ready to go when I give it to him.
I do not have the original software that came with it when it was new.
I first plugged it in to my PC, and it just said it was charging. It then told me to go to www.apple.com/ipod/downloads to get the software updated.
Since I didnt have the software cd, i thought i'd need that before i got the updater - how can it update software if I never had it to begin with? But no - I called Apple and the guy said all I'd need is the latest iTunes and the software updater. So i updated iTunes, downloaded the updater...
Then, the ipod said "Do Not Disconnect" for about 30 minutes after the updater said "(Up To Date)" beside Version 3.1. In addition to that, the little picture of the ipod on the left hand side of that update screen is a pic of the U2 iPod, but I don't actually have the U2 iPod. Also, the serial number shown is the same as the one hard-coded in my iPod, so I have no idea what is up with that.
Then, said i clicked "Reformat". Then I Unplugged it and plugged it into the wall. I chose "english" and waited a minute... it didn't seem to want to do anything else, so i plugged it back into my computer. Same exact thing, with the picture of the U2 iPod in the window. Except this time, when I open My Computer, it says "IPOD" under the e: drive, whereas before it just said "removable disk". Also, in iTunes, under Edit -> Preferences and the iPod tab, it says "no ipod connected". I have no idea what to do next.

I just want to clarify as well, that there is no mention of an iPod on the left-hand side of iTunes under "Source". Also there is no icon on the bottom right side of iTunes so that I can disconnect safely. It is pretty much leaving me no options for disconnecting. I just tried reformatting again, to no avail.

Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings in the Edit/Preferences?

AdobeReaderDocumentCouldNotPrint.txt
Glyn Price Tue 17 March 2015
Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings
in the Edit/Preference?
Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
MS Window 7
File > Print > Print
I got the error message:
The document could not be printed
I googled this error message and used the following
solution that worked i.e. it then printed successfully.
Edit > Preferences
Category: Security(Enhancement) 'Enable Protected Mode at Startup'
It was checked, changed it to unchecked.
Category: Documents 'View documents in PDF/Mode'
It was set to 'Only for PDF/A'
Set it to 'Never'
Exited Adobe Reader and restart it. Then it printed.
I had a look on another computer system (Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
and MS Window 7) and on this different computer I could print
without doing the above two changes.
I'm a bit puzzled. Why preferences on one system were not
needed on a different system?

Here is an elaborate method of troubleshooting this problem. There may be a simpler method if anybody wants to suggest one.
There is a general technique that is helpful in this situation. I can't give you complete instructions here, and I haven't tested this with regard to bluetooth devices, but here's the gist of it.
Create a second log-on account for your music projects. Configure it so that when you log in to the new music account, the drivers needed for the Bluetooth devices don't load. You do this in System Preferences: Accounts.
When it's time to do music, log out of your usual account and onto the new one.
When you install drivers for any peripheral, you have the option of installing them "for all users" or only for the user account that is active during the installation.
This governs whether the drivers go in root/library or root/Users/your name/library.
If drivers are in root/library, they will load whenever the Mac is booted up and will run for all users.
But if drivers are loaded in root/Users/your name/library, they will only load if you log in as "your name". If you have a second account called root/Users/music account/, and you log in under that, the drivers in "your name" will not load. Get it?
To get this working right you need to be knowledgeable about moving or deleting files in the /library/ directory and subdirectories, and you need to be careful because you can unwittingly cause some damage if you are not careful.
There is also the root/System/library directory, and in general you should never mess around with anything in there or you might hose your system.
In summary, I would start by using the installer programs for your BlueTooth devices and DE-installing all drivers. Reboot. Log back in as your usual user account. Then RE-install each driver and see if the installer program gives you the OPTION to installl for all users or just for this user. Choose the latter. Then log on to your new Music account and see if the problems go away.

HT1751 i bought a new, larger external hard drive. copied my itunes library from the old drive to the new one, changed the libarary location in Edit/Preferences/Advanced to the new drive. iTunes will not start or run unless old hard drive plugged in.??

I bought a new, larger external hard drive. I have my iTunes library on the external drive instead of C: drive, Using Windows 7.
I copied my itunes library from the old drive to the new one, changed the libarary location in Edit/Preferences/Advanced to the new drive.
iTunes will not start or run unless the old hard drive is plugged in.
If I disconnect the old drive iTunes shuts down.
Any ideas. ??

Hello kskip,
Thank you for providing so much information about what is going on. It sounds like you have setup iTunes to save new content to your new external hard drive in iTunes>Preferences, but it sounds like iTunes is not opening iTunes Library.itl file on the new external drive. You have one last step to take to have iTunes point to your new external hard drive rather than your old one:
Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
You should see the following screen:
Additional information
If you do not see the screen above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.
Once you select "Choose Library," you will need to navigate to the iTunes Library.itl file on your new external drive.
