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.

  • Edit preference is shutting the program

    I have just bought one year subscription to Adobe CC Photography module.
    I was trying to set up some preferences. But every time I am clicking Preferences under the Edit menu, the program stops. This has happened some 5 times now. And I have never been able to open the Preferences.
    Will be grateful for some assistance.

    I suggest that you delete the preferences file so that Lightroom can create a new one.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Device is locked by the program activate iphone

    Device is locked by the program activate iphone
    I have a mobile device and the tray, but is unable to run two Is there a solution

    You can't delete it. You bought a used iPhone, and there is absolutely nothing you can do to aside from asking the previous owner to remove the phone from Find my iPhone. If you cannot contact them, you won't be able to use the phone at all.

  • Why does opening a 2nd pdf lock up the program?

    I have Adobe Reader X on Windows XP.  Lately, when I try to open a pdf when one is already open, the 2nd pdf screen comes up black or with the image skewed and the file locks up. Sometimes, changing the image percentage restores it or I can eventually close the 2nd window. I have gone through repairing the installation on the control panel, but did not fix the problem.

    we experienced this problem also and disabled the protected mode as a workaround.
    you can find it in menu edit\preferences\general\enable protected mode at startup.
    guess it's a bug. there are a few other posts in this forum mentioning the same problem.

  • I installed a free 30 day subscription of adobe reader X1 and I want to try to edit a pdf.  The program keeps taking me back to a link to buy it?? how do I use it?

    how do i use my free 30 day trial of adobe reader x1?? when i try to edit a pdf it just asks me to buy the program?

    I think your problems may come down to mixing up two completely different programs.
    1. Adobe Reader. This is FREE. There is no subscription or trial. However, there are add-on subscriptions called ExportPDF and PDF Pack. There is no trial for these either.
    2. Adobe Acrobat. This is NOT FREE and has a 30 day free trial.
    My guess is that you have downloaded the free trial for Adobe Acrobat, but are continuing to actually run Adobe Reader. Look closely at which app you are using, and start it with the START button (Windows) or Launch Pad (Mac). DON'T JUST DOUBLE CLICK ON A PDF.

  • After editing for a while the program slows to a crawl how do I fix this?

  • Edit documentation of the program

    hi Experts,
    could u please tell me? How can i edit in documentation of the program?

    Click on "Preview", in the Documentation Editor, can you see the Documentation here...?
    If you can't, it's because of a GUI Error and not because of what you're doing. See if you can display Documentation from another program successfully?
    If no Documentation is displayed even for an SAP Standard Program, try the same thing out on another PC or update your GUI Install.

  • The preset time (Edit Preferences General) doesn't work

    The preset time (Edit>Preferences>General) of the Still Images Default Duration doesn't work.
    I have several times tried. No result.
    What to do?

    Changing the value does not apply to already imported stills.
    You need to delete them and re-import.
    Or just change the duration in the Project Window.

  • I have a draft email that keeps crashing the Mail program.  How do I delete the draft before the program locks up?

    I have a draft email that has an attachment that keeps crashing Mail.  How do I delete the draft before it locks up the program with the spinning color wheel?

    Assuming you're using some IMAP mail service, disconnect from the internet first and quit Mail
    Next, click on Finder, choose 'Go' in the menubar and hold down the 'option' key. Choose 'Library' from the menu.
    Navigate to
    Mail/V2/Mailboxes
    In there you'll see some folders called things like IMAP-{yourEmailAddress.com} for each email address you have. In each one there is a Drafts folder. Locate the correct one and delete the file.
    Do NOT restart Mail, but open your internet connection, go to your web-based email through your browser and delete the draft from there too.
    Now you can restart Mail. Choose 'Rebuild' from the Mailbox menu in the menubar.

  • I have down loaded itunes (windows) on my desk top and when i click on the icon it takes 4 to 5 minutes for the program to open.  also the program does not open when i connect my iphone.  Help!

    Why does it take 4 to 5 minutes for my itunes program to open?  it also frequently freezes while i am trying to work with it.  it won't open when i connect my iphone?  this is on my desk top with Windows 7.

    Okay, launch iTunes... does it work?
    If so, in Edit > Preferences > Advanced is the option to "prevent syncing of iDevices" selected?
    Another possibility, in Control Panel > Default Programs > Change Auto Play Settings > what is the system set to do when an iPhone is connected?

  • Whenever I want to run the iTunes, my computer shows " iTunes has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"

    whenever I want to run the iTunes, my computer shows " iTunes has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"

    I had the same problem.  The fix I found was to open itunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT), click Edit, Preferences, and then the "Store" tab.  Uncheck the box that says "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases".  This got me running, but unfortunately I have a movie on the cloud that I now can't see.

  • 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.
