PSE 8 organizer has photo with lock and message editor is busy

I want to edit a picture from my gallery. I click on fix and try to open full edit and I get message that the editor is busy. There is one picture in my gallery that has a lock across it and states edit in progress. I have exited and restarted PSE8 several times. This message has been here for a whole day already. How do I get to edit my photos again?

Are you sure the editor isn't still running? The band with the lock means that you left a photo open in the editor when you switched back to the organizer, and the solution is usually just to close the photo in the editor. Try restarting your computer.
The editor and the organizer are separate programs.

PSE 9 Organizer Error Adding Keyword Tags and Other Woes

Hello, everyone. I am having a ton of problems with PSE 9 Organizer. The most frustrating and biggest problem is that I believe my catalog has been corrupted beyond repair. I spent all of yesterday tagging my photos. I had no problems and everything seemed to be going well until all of the sudden, the organizer suddenly froze up. I had to use the Windows task manager just to get it to close. This happened several times. Finally, the organizer locked up my computer and I had to restart. I opened the catalog and didn't seem to have any problems at that point. I was able to view all of the images, video files etc. I was even able to open the editor from the organizer. When I tried to add a tag to a photo it gave me an error. All it said was "error adding keyword tag" then nothing. I tried to delete the photo and all it said was "error deleting photo". This "error" shows up any time I try to make any changes to all of the images. I can't add any new photos, can't delete, or add tags. I have repaired the catalog several times. It found errors the first time, but evidently that didn't fix my problem. I also optimized and deleted my thumbnail cache to see if that was the issue. Still nothing. I have other catalogs and they work fine, so it is something to do with this particular catalog. Any suggestions on what to do next? Can I move the pictures to a new catalog without losing the tags? And no, I didn't write the tags to the images because I wasn't done tagging. Besides, PSE doesn't always write the tags correctly, as you probably know. Next problem. When I first open PSE and select the organizer, it doesn't alway open. I can see it on my taskbar (Windows 7 64 bit), but I can't get the window to maximize. I have to close and open several times to get the window to open. Sometimes it randomly jumps to my second monitor like it can't decide where to go. Very frustrating. I would appreciate any suggestions about what to do. Thanks.

Back to the original question, after thinking about this for a couple days I have had two ideas for workarounds:
1) Copy my tag names into the photo metadata and create a new catalog to bring all of my images into. This will allow me to keep all of my existing tags, and it MIGHT solve the tag display problem based on a test with a couple images in a new catalog. The downsides to this are a) permanently writes my tags into the photo metadata which will be bad if I decide to change something later, b) loses all version sets, and c) loses all albums (although I don't have that many). I found instructions for this workaround at http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Merging_Catalogs.
2) Live with the lack of color tag display in Organizer, and use reverse searches to find missing tag categories. For example, if I want to find all photos that do not have a "Places" tag, I check the box next to the "Places" category (which also selects all sub-categories and tags below this). Then I go to the Options drop-down in the Find Bar and "Hide best match results" and "Show results that do not match". This gives me every image in my catalog that does not have a tag from the "Places" category, so I can go through and tag these as appropriate.
I would have gone with #1 if it weren't for the permanence of the keywords. I guess I have a commitment problem (or I just haven't got my tag hierarchy figured out yet). Instead, I am going with #2 which should give me most of what I need for now. I will still hold out some small glimmer of hope that Adobe manages a fix for this issue down the road.

I have now downloaded all the pictures in my camera directly into PSE Organiser. The pictures are all in folders listed by date the pictures were taken. Are they now safely housed in the PSE program?
PSE does not contain your photos. The photos are on your hard disk(s) somewhere, wherever they were put when they were moved from the camera to the hard disk (might be the default location chosen by PSE).
Can I delete the old Canon programs, which are still sitting on my Mac?
Yes
And if I want to back up on an external hard-drive, how do I do that? Just drag the whole lot across?
Your interest in making backups is to be commended.
There are many ways to make backups, including the way you just suggested. You can also create a backup using PSE (which I recommend) since it includes the photos and the very important catalog file. In PSE, File->Backup Catalog, and set the destination of the backup to your external HD. Remember to do this regularly.
Sometimes when I've used 'Smart Fix" or other tools in the Photo Fix toolbox, I'm not happy with the result. But how can I 'undo' a fix and revert to how it was before?
PSE should create a version set when you do any editing, including the Smart Fix. Thus, you just need to expand the version set (right-click on the photo) to see both the original and the Smart Fix. Then you can delete the Smart Fix version.
-- I want to create an album "Europe 2012", and within it categories for UK, France, Italy etc. But although I hit 'create album category' when Europe 2012 is highlighted, the category just attaches to the last listed album - something completely unrelated. How do I ensure categories are within the correct albums?
I'm going to strongly recommend you don't do this via albums (unless your intent is to share the contents of the albums online somehow, in which case use Albums). I recommend you use tags instead of albums for this purpose. You can create a tag called Europe under Places, and another tag under Europe called France. I would also recommend you not bother including year or other calendar information in the tag (or album) names. You want "Europe" as your tag, not "Europe 2012". Why? Because you can always segregate by year (or other calendar time period) using the PSE Timeline; there's no need to do extra work to segregate the tags by year (or other calendar time period).

My ipad is recognised as a camera when connected to my computer running on Windows XP. When my ipad has photos on it and I connect it to my computer it is initially recognised as a camera before my computer crashes.

When my ipad has photos on it and I connect it to my computer it is initially recognised as a camera before my computer crashes. Resulting in me having to reboot the system again and going through the disc checks to resolve errors. This has happened on several occasions. On previous occasions when I have not had any photos on my ipad it has connected to my computer without any problem.Is there a way of solving this problem without having to remove all of my photos from my ipad.

Being recognized as a camera is normal. Your computer sees the DCIM folder and doesn't know the difference between a 'real' camera and an iPad.
One way to stop it could be to tell windows explorer what to do. When you plug your iPad in do you see a little pop up window listing things to do with the device? If so, there should be an option to 'do nothing', which means you tell your computer 'hey, ignore this device'. Your iTUnes will still work when you connect them, the windows protocols that search for images, etc. should just let it be and hopefully stop the crashing.

Copy photos with info and data to a cd

I have Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 and put in all the photos I had in my files. Then marked every single photo with information and data (a hell of work) and decided to make a backup copy on cd.
To my astonishment on the cd all the photos turned out to be completely unorganized and all the text I put below them were nowhere to be found!!!
Did I do something wrong, or is it not possible to get an organized cd with information using this edition of Photoshop?
Thanks in advance for your help.

>I am trying tommove a block of pictures from my d drive over to photo shop
>3.0 and want to move more than one photo at a time.
I'm not sure what you mean by moving pictures from D: drive to PS 3... PSA
SE 3.2 is just a cataloging application. It doesn't actually store anything,
it just tells you where things are, or helps you to work with them.
>Or I can load them into photo shop from a CD.
It sounds like you just want to make sure the PSA SE knows that they are
there....
Essentially, you can just Click on the "Get Photos" button and choose the
source. Keep in mind that this will NOT physically move images and doesn't
have that ability like Photoshop Elements 5.0.
As to the DVD... it can track it depending on the video type. When you say
"Get Photos"... look to see if has detected it. If you see that it has and
offers to catalogue it for you, then you know that you're okay.

— Relatively new iPhone 6+ with latest system ...
If on a mac, I'd be running a disk utility or looking to overwrite an app, or re-install the system.

Hi CartoonBob,
If you are having issues with being unable to attach a photo from Mail on your iPhone, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

How to organize my photos in albuns and sub-albuns?

Hi,
I have Windows PC and wanted to know how to organize my photos in folders and sub-folders inside the Ipod.
By sincronizing Ipod with a specific folder of your hard disk, all images are updated, but sub-folders are ignored. For instance, if you sinc the My Photos folder:
c:\My Photos\2004\Family
c:\My Photos\2004\Friends
The Family and Friends photos will be cast together, because Ipod only sees one sub-level (the 2004 folder). Can anyone help with this? I tried the Photoshop Album, but I didn't manage to understand this program!
Thanks!

Ipod Video Windows XP

As far as I know your only option is either Adobe Album or Photoshop Elements. (Not Album SE or a trial version)
Once you've got your photo's imported, there are two tabs on the righthandside, tags and collections (? - I have a non-english version). Create a new collection and drag photo's on it or rightclick on a photo and select "Add to collection..."
Now when you use iTunes to sync photo's from Adobe it will show the collections you've made and each collection you synchronise will show up with a separate name on your ipod.

My CD has photos with info which I can read. On 'Import to library', photos are imported without the info. How can I fix it?

My CD has photos with info which I can read off the CD. On 'Import to Library' the photos are imported to my iPhoto but info is not. How can I import photos including info?

When you say "info", what do you mean exactly? What kind of info and where is it being stored? Is it in a separate file(s), or is it metadata in the file itself? All EXIF data is retained (that's a standard for camera image files) such as date taken, camera model, exposure, location, etc, when you import into iPhoto. If you've added data in some non-standard way, it won't be retained.

Mystery photo is locked and prevents me from deleting iMovie project

I made a move with iMovie which included a photo that I didn't know was locked. Having transferred the iMovie to a DVD I moved the file to the main trash so as to free up space on my Mac. Before emptying main trash, I decided to delete a selection of the photos used in the iMovie in question. I managed to delete the photos no problem, or at least they are no longer in my trash so I presume they've been deleted. However, the iMovie cannot be deleted when I try and empty trash - I get a message telling me that a certain photo is locked and cannot be deleted, therefore the iMovie cannot be deleted. However, the photo in question is no longer in my iPhoto library so I have no way of finding the photo to unlock it and thus enable me to delete the photo/iMovie and empty my trash. My start up disk is nearly full so I really need to empty the trash to free up some space. Any ideas?

Thanks for responding you guys. Further scowering for clues in other discussion threads provided the answer thanks to "windowsbegone": GENIUS!! My problem is now solved. I followed "windowsbegone"'s instructions from another thread in the hope that it would help and it did. HURRAH!! Here's what they said:
"Find the movie file where the trash item that you want to recover are. Cntl-click the file. Choose "show package contents" Click on "Media". Find the clips that you want to recover."
Doing this showed me icons of the locked photo and I simply went into the info and unlocked them. Emptied the trash and they're gone. At last!
Thanks to everyone who took time to think about this - much appreciated.

This transported issue started coming after power outage, sap system went hard shutdown.
Then we brought up the system. Before that , we do not have this transport issue.
our TMS landscape is
DEV QA-PRD
SED-SEQSEP
DEV is having the TMS domain controller.
FYI:
*At OS level, when we do scp command using root user, it is fine for any TR.
In STMS, while adding TR in SEQ(QA system), we are getting error like this.

Risk with Locking and changinf password for SAPCPIC

Hi All,
Please advice if there is any risk with locking and changing password for SAP standard user SAPCPIC .We are on system 4.6D .
Somewhere I could find that if there is any RFC destination defined with this user then it may cause problem after locking .I found following entry in RFCDES table .
a I
M=200,U=SAPCPIC,L=E,v=3FB20DF66CA32E419606388B51,
But I could not find any entry in sm59 for this .What is this entry as it is not there in SM59 .
Any other known risks pls tell me .
Thanks,
Chittaranjan

Can password of SAPCPIC user be changed without any problem?
We are on ECC6.
Report RSUSR003 refer to note 29276 and note says that changing password will cause problem with SM51 and some other report as the password is hard-coded there. Though this note seems to be bit old.

PSE 13 organizer consumes all available RAM and crashes

I have found that I am unable to use PSE13 Organizer for more than a couple of hours without my system becoming unstable. Organizer keeps requesting RAM until it has taken up all available RAM and my virtual memory file has expanded to fill the hard drive it is on. At this point Organizer and most other running programs crash, the system becomes unstable and Windows issues out of memory warnings. I am at a loss as to what to do about this. Does anyone know if Adobe is planning on fixing this rather major bug?
I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit on an AMD X6 1090 with 16GB RAM.

That's the first time I see that problem on Elements forums and bug reports.
Investigating your particular situation will require more info:
- on your hardware, your preferences (scratch disk)
- your organizer usage (photos or videos), autoanalyzer and other opened softwares
- any plugins?
What happens if you stop and restart the organizer at shorter intervals? Do you see the RAM and virtual memory grow the same way?
The only remotely similar situation I have met on all Elements versions is the impossibility to delete a large number of files in the same batch. The Organizer slowly fills all the RAM, then issues an error message and rolls back to the situation before the delete command. No crash.
