PSE 8 freezes always when importing photos

This is frustrating.
It is my experience that PSE is one of the most "buggy" programs around. (BTW- the same can be said for Adobe Reader.)
Every time I import photos to PSE 8, the program freezes. It must be turned off and restarted. Then it resumes where it left off. Seems to be during the organizing of the imported files.
My computer is up to date, has 3Gb memory and my imports are 50 to 120 photos, not thousands.
I can troubleshoot, but the real problem is that Adobe needs to address and correct this software issue.

I agree that the quality of PSE 8 is abysmal.  If you're interested in finding a workaround:
Try deleting the thumbnail cache -- it may be partially corrupted.  See step 5 of this FAQ:

  • When importing photos with iBooks Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the imported photo?

    When importing photos with the iBooks Author Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the corresponding imported photo? I have 4,800 stills to import and can't imagine it's necessary to copy and paste the description for each.

    As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

  • Excluding subfolders when importing photos in Photoshop Elements 10

    In past versions of Photoshop Elements you could exclude subfolders when importing photos from files and folders.  In version 10 the "get photos from subfolders" is greyed out.  I normally do not want to include subfolders when importing.  I only want the top current folder.  Why the change?

    Hi,
    Just a further thought.
    I have now tried versions 9 and 10 on a Windows 7 system and they both work the same. The "include subfolder" box is not active until I select a folder from the right side - selecting one on the left side doesn't activate it.
    Which operating system are you using?
    Did you change operating systems when you changed to PSE 10?

  • Lightroom 5.7.1 64bit constantly freezes up when importing, requiring a reboot.

    Hey folks
    Running Windows 8.1 As of a week ago, Lightroom 5.7.1 64bit constantly freezes up when importing, and it take a reboot for it to successfully import again. Nothing about my operating system or environment has changed (no new devices plugged in).
    This is a total pain.
    I've uninstalled/reinstalled Lightroom, but that hasn't helped.
    Can anyone assist?  Thanks.

    Hi Panda,
    I basically left it - and left it - and left it. Eventually it recovered, and started importing photos. So my experience was that it will work eventually - it just takes ages, and looks like it's hanging at first.
    I think I left it for three days in total. After the spinning beach ball appearing for many hours, it did start slowly importing.
    Good luck!

    Since i upgraded to Yosemite, when importing photos to iPhoto, they no longer appear in the 'events' summary in library. Why is this and how can i amend?

    The events may be incorrectly sorted. Try to sort the events by date, while in "Events" view.
    Go to the "View" menu: Sort Photos > By Date > Descending. That should bring the most recent events to the top of the list.

  • When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture....

    When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture 3 it shows two versions of each image. One is original and one is iphoto edited.  It shows this for every picture even if it was never edited in iphoto.  Has anyone ever experienced this?  Is so, what image should I use to edit in iphoto?

    This is asked and covered a lot here, a search of the list will bring up numerous other threads covering this. Also the More Like This box on the right side of the page will show you other posts on this topic.
    This post, Duplicates when importing from iPhoto is the most recent example.
    Briefly iPhoto took even the most trivial change to an image as an edit and created a new image. The most common reason for this is rotated images.
    As for which image of the two you want to keep, that's entirely up to you. If there is really no difference between the two then you can keep either it makes no difference.
    The thread I linked to above will explain how to use Aperture's filters to gather up all of one or the other.

  • When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the library and in Photostream.

    When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the iPhoto library and in Photostream. It has no apparent pattern, the photos are just blank. It's not just icons, when I go to edit the photos externally in Photoshop it opens an image filled with nothing but black.
    This is more than annoying. It's effectively deleting photos I'm taking on vacation and so forth.
    Anyone?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Iphoto crashes when importing photos? (no 3ivx. plugin found??)

    hi, i have just got a canon 7d and often when importing photos into iphoto 11, (version 9.3.1) iphoto crashes, no matter how many times i try it fails to import, i have searched but not found the 3ivx. plug in that seems to have caused everyone the same problem and when iphoto does import my photos, every 10 photos is courupted and comes up black? i am shooting in raw (.CR2) any help or suggestions would be great thanks.

  • When importing photos into iPhoto I get an error Unreadable Files:

    When importing photos into iPhoto I get an error Unreadable Files: The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).
    I can open the JPG in question with PREVIEW, photoshop etc.. actually if I try to import a photo that I had originally imported it also fails..
    Please help... Thank you..

    I too had this error message (and to be honest, it was becoming a bit of a pain). I resolved it in a slightly different way to Terence.
    I had 10 photos that were allegedly unreadable; however, as Terence rightly says, they are duplicates. When I opened iPhoto I mad a note of each of the files concerned and did a Spotlight search throughout my hard drive.
    For each photo, there were four or five duplicates. I deleted all but one of each of the photos and then reopened iPhoto. No more error message.
    The original problem stemmed from importing my files directly from an external device I was using with a previous computer [that was running XP].
    Anyway, hope this helps.

  • When importing photo's into Apperture via iPhoto Browser I get 2 Versions of the master import as opposed to just one?

    When importing photo's into Apperture via iPhoto Browser I get 2 Versions of the master as opposed to just one?
    Why is this?
    Are there two master photo's?

    When you import to Aperture using this method you get all the versions that iPhoto has - Mster and Edited  version. If you haven't edited the photo then tow possibilities:
    A: the photo is Raw and you'e gettting the automatic preview that iPhoto creates on import as well
    B: The shot has an auto-rotate tag from the camera

  • IPhoto 7.1.5 freeze when importing photos

    After iPhoto '08 7.1.5 (378) update,
    photo import freezes just after displaying thumbnails and pushing "Import" button, when "Import preparation" is displayed.
    Same try with new libraries, also with a second user, also after various reboots and with preference panes additional software limitations.
    The previous release was OK on my PPC G4 mac.
    Any user with the same trouble ?
    TIA

    Tkx Terence,
    but it doesn't comes from the hardware.
    I don't proceed to time machine backup of Application folder. Only datas + system. And I'm wrong, because I can't restore iPhoto 7.1.4 with a simple restore operation !
    The update has done 2 simultaneous changes : iPhoto_715.pkg + RAWCameraUpdate.pkg
    I've downloaded iphoto_714.pkg (it was already in my receipts), but it's not possible to re-instal it :
    1/ message : "iphoto release in place is newer than 7.1.4" when I don't remove iPhoto from application folder.
    2/ message : "iphoto cannot be found" when I remove both iphoto_715.pkg from receipts and iphoto application from application folder.
    iPhoto was installed on my dual processor mac when i got it, but it was 10.1.1 OS release ! you can imagine the installation process !!!
    That's a bad experience, i will backup application folder with Time machine in the future.
    - Anyone knows how to re-install iPhoto 7.1.4 ?

  • Unresponsive when importing photos

    Okay. So I have an SD card that has some movies and pictures on it (taken via my Canon).
    Whenever I try to import the items, iPhoto freezes up. It simply stays at the "preparing to import" screen and that's it.
    iPhoto does recognize the camera/card reader (I have tried both), and makes thumbnails for the images/video when they are still in the camera.
    How do I fix this?

    iPhoto is known to chock on large movies when importing directly from the camera. I don't remember the exact size that causes it but you can try this workaround: use Image Capture to upload the files to a folder on the desktop and then import from there into iPhoto. That should get your files imported.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
