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?

  • My effects folder is blank? Help!

    For some reason all content has disappeared as has my favourites. Does this have any thing to do with downloading Creative Cloud? Although I was working on Elements after this.

    I have PSE 11 and on a MacPro but after tearing my hair out I think I have done it! I have uninstalled and then reinstalled. All the standard actions were there except my purchased ones (which of course are the only ones I use). Then I had to go in and delete the media database.db3 file. Phew!
    So it looks good except I now have to re-do my favourites but I can live with that.
    I hope this helps the next person...! And thanks Andaleeb for your followup!

  • I can access and use the store just fine - but when I try to open iTunes HELP, I just get a blank/white Help box. Any thoughts or ideas? Dee

    Not sure if I have to repeat question, but I cannot access the iTunes HELP from the Store on my PC (Dell laptop/Windows 7) - opens the box, but it remains blank/white, never fills in with HELP information. Any thoughts? dee

    I would check with HP. Your scanner may need a firmware update and updated HP software. Start here:

  • HELP!!!  I am trying to install actions into pse 13, which I have done several times before and I can't find my media database.db3 file to delete to get them to load.  I have totally uninstalled pse13 and reinstalled and still having the same problem.  I

    Anyone?

    Are you aware that you can just load them into the actions panel by going to window>actions, then clicking the four lined square on the panel and choosing Load Actions from the menu? You don't have to put them into the effects panel anymore and there's no deleting mediaDatabase.db3 that way.
    If you really need them in the effects panel for some reason (like for add-on tools) you are probably not finding the right  library. The library at the top level of your hard drive isn't exactly hidden in recent versions of OS X, but it's very hard to get to it. The easiest way is to go to the finder preferences>sidebar and turn on Show Hard Disks. Then when you open a new finder window your hard drive will be in the list on the left side of the window. Click it and the library you want will be at the top level of results on the right side. But the actions panel is much easier.

  • Icons or text for effects do not appear on the effects palette. Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3

    I would like to use the bevel and drop shadow effects in Elements, yet when I go to window > effects, even though the effects palette appears, the icons and text of the specific effects do not. I have checked my hard drive and found the effect files on my computer, and I also tried simply dragging the file onto the Elements icon. It said it did not recognize the file format. I have a mid-2007 iMac running OS X 10.9.4 (memory is quite full) and I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3. If anybody could help that would be great!

    Hmmmm, that didn't do it (what you said would happen did happen, but it didn't solve the problem).  But I think I figured it out.  For some reason, there was a "custom print size" set to 6 X 4.  I set that to "Scale to fit Media", and now it seems to be back to normal
    I think my wife must have used my computer to print photos, and didn't tell me about it.
    Thank you for your help, though!

  • PSE 7.0 Effects Missing?

    For some reason the effects palette is empty, i've tried everything (but reinstallation) but this happened randomly. I'm probably missing some basic step, but it's quite odd. Also when I go over the palette, the "No entry" simple appears (the cursor changes into that)
    Any help?

    I tried reinstallng, the effects are still gone.

  • After Effects Error 5070 :: 2 Please Help !

    Hi,
    My computer:
    2011 iMac 27“, 3.4 Ghz, 32 GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6970M + 2 x 24“ Cinema Displays
    My problem:
    1- In After Effects when I try to enable Ray-Traced 3D I get error 5070 :: 2 (see screenshot 1)
    2- I updated the CUDA drivers to version 5.5.47 (see screenshot 2)
    3- After Effects quits unexpectedly and I get an After Effects Alert (see screenshot 3)
    Please help I can't open AE anymore!!!

    Now I get this message and Ray-Tracing is really slow...
    What is the deal with CUDA? I read that it doesn't work well with ATI cards so why does AfterEffects ask me to install the drivers? If I do, it crashes on startup...
    Can someone please help me with this, I don't get why AfterEffects can't use my ATI GPU and asks me to install drivers that make it crash...
    After Effects is not asking you to install a driver that makes it crash. It is telling you that you need a specific kind of card WITH a specific driver installed. You need both things. The message could have been worded better though.
    CUDA is NVIDIA technology. After Effects uses NVIDIA's proprietary technology to speed up the ray-traced renderer. You can't use that technology without an NVIDIA card.
    You have three choices.
    Check the radio button so that you don't see that warning ever again and live with the slow rendering of the ray-traced renderer.
    Install an NVIDIA card that fits the specs requried.
    Don't use the ray-traced rendering at all. There are much better options. Element 3d, Mettle's ShapeShifter, and Zaxwerks 3d Invigorator are three very good choices for quick-rendering 3d in After Effects. Also, if you have After Effects CC, you can use Cinema 4d that comes with AE for all your 3d work.
    I would suggest option 3. The ray-traced renderer, even when accelerated, is not a very good option for 3d in AE. That's why the AE team decided to integrate heavily with Cinema 4D in the latest version of After Effects.

  • Please Help.Transition effects between scenes.

    Hello,
    I am simulating an Ipad device in flash CS6, with AS3, and I have made one scene for the desktop (with all the app icons) and another scene for each app.
    I'm using buttons to navigate between apps (each app icon is a button), and made another button for the Ipad home button to go back to desktop.
    By the way , I'm using this code for the buttons;
              btn_music.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, abrerep);
              function abrerep (event:MouseEvent):void {
              gotoAndStop("1","Reproductor");
    It works fine , but I would like to add a transition effect (like a fade out, or something similar to what ipad actually do)  when you open an app or go back to desktop (change scene).
    Any advice on how to do this?!!
    I apreciate your help, thanks in advance.
    PD: Also I would like to simulate a web browser app (like safari), that when you open it, it goes to a web site, for example www.apple.com
    Any Ideas to this??

    Doing trransitions along a timeline using scenes is not very designer-friendly.  You are better off avoiding the using of frames and even the timeline.  Just have each section as a movieclip in one frame and control the visibility of each.  Then you can use Actionscript to fade things in and/or out as needed, while having the benefit of easily retaining the states of sections already visited.  You should be able to convert each scene into a movieclip by copying the timeline into a movieclip.

  • Effects Palette missing .ant file image

    I had to reinstall my PSE and now am in the process of reloading ALL my Actions. I am finding that half my Effects Palette is missing it's images (.atn). I have checked the options box and it is marked to show the image. I have deleted the .db3 after install. The weird thing is that even the pre-installed effects are missing as well.
    Any insight would be appreciated.

    Have you checked to be sure they're in the PSE program/application folder?

  • NEED HELP? Read this first. Also, NOODZ.

    Ok, first, noodz (caution: may not be work/school-safe*).
    Now, if you need help, follow these guidelines.
    Do your homework first.
    Many of the questions that get posted here are directly answered in the Wiki or easily found on Google or through an Arch forum search. The Latest News will sometimes address known issues too. Finally, you can check the bugtracker to see if anyone else has reported the same problem. Do some research before posting to save yourself and others time. Don't just post a problem and expect everyone else to do your work for you. Archers help those who (at least try to) help themselves.
    Use an explanatory subject title.
    Titles such as "this doesn't work, wtf???" do not help and make people roll their eyes. Try to summarize the problem in the title so someone opening the thread has an idea of what your post is about. This will also increase the chance of someone who can solve your problem finding your thread.
    Explain the problem clearly and provide detailed information.
    Again, "it's just broken" and similar "descriptions" don't tell anyone anything. Give all the relevant information that you can think of, such as the specific error that you're getting, system information (e.g. soundcards for audio problems, network setup for connection problems), when the problem started and what might have caused it, relevant logs, relevant system configuration files, etc. Include information about anything that you've tried so far to solve the problem. You can also read this extensive guide on getting help.
    Be patient and polite.
    Sometimes it takes time to get a reply. Do not bump your thread every 3 hours with messages like "come on, help me!!!". Also, don't be rude to people who misunderstand your problem or reply with suggestions that don't work. Instead, politely try to explain your problem more clearly.
    Mark the thread as [SOLVED] once you've found a solution.
    Once you've found the solution, edit your original post and add "[SOLVED]" to the beginning of the subject title. This way others with similar problems will be able to find the solution faster.

    Tip for the future - if you want to make effective contributions, it would be better not to include random links to pages that may not be work/school-safe. Whatever merit your suggestion may have has been completely undermined by this unnecessary nonsense, which clearly belongs in the Off-topic area.

  • Mac Help in Finder comes up blank

    Whenever I go into the Finder and choose Help, the Help window comes up totally blank. If I enter a question, the results show nothing.
    I only have this problem on my G4 PowerBook, so I usually use my tower, but when I am not home it is a pain.
    Is there a way just to reinstall the Help files?
    Thanks!

    I have exactly the same problem but I haven't looked into it as I will be returning this 12" baby to Apple soon due to other issues.
    My previous 12" pBook (also returned for quality issues, natch) had, as I recall, a working Apple Help function in finder until I partitioned the drive and re-installed Tiger. Thereafter, no Apple Help. I tried copying Help files and Help App across from a working PB system but to no avail.
    The current one has been upgraded to 10.4.4 and I still have nothing in the Apple help.
    Alas the workaround above does not help either. If you access help from another App, then hit the Home button to get the Apple Help home page, none of the topic links is active.
    I have been meaning to post on this for a while and am amazed to just come across it for the first time.... wait a minute.
    ... OK BREAKING NEWS! (sorry to shout).
    I have just done a search in discussions for Help Viewer and it seems this is a known issue. There is a simple solution. Just tried it - and it works... Woo hoo!
    Follow the instructions here
    Okay, there is a lesson here: always search Discussions in case our problem as already been solved!

  • Itunes is not working (help, store, sync, etc is blank) telling me I don't have connection which I have

    I have Microsoft Vista
    I have (had) ITunes version 10.4  but weeks ago is not working I NEED YOU HELP

    [email protected]

    I had the same problem and best determination is that it is the version 10.4.1.  I had to go back to 10.3.  a previous poster gave the best recommendation.  Their steps that worked for me was:
    Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
    2.  Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
         a. iTunes
         b. QuickTime
         c. Apple Software Update
         d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
         e. Bonjour
         f.  Apple Appllcation Support
    3.  Reboot PC
    4.  Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
    If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes.  To correct this:
    5.  Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
    6.  Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
    7.  Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
    8.  Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date.  It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
    9.  Reboot PC
