PSE11 Organizer - Not Responding

I have a Windows 8.1 laptop with 8GB memory, 1TB Hard Drive, and Intel Core i5. When running PSE11 Organizer the organizer will hang up and I receive a message "Not Responding". Then the Organizer closes and I have to reload everything. Is there a setting I'm missing? Also I heard that the resolution of my monitor could be a problem. Is that possible?
Thanks for any input. I really enjoy my PSE11 but this is making me crazy!!

Try changing the settings in prefs by going to:
Edit >> Preferences >> Media Analysis
Uncheck all the boxes for people recognition and for the auto-analyzer. That often improves performance. You can re-start them at any time e.g. when you are away from your computer or niot editing photos.

Elements 13 organizer not responding

Installed Elements 13 a couple of days ago. When trying to open a file from the Organizer in the Editor, I frequently get "Organizer not responding." Wait ... wait ... try to shutdown Organizer, which itself takes a couple of minutes.
Did not have this problem with Elements 12.

Any comments on this problem? Thanks.
Later:
Deselecting the Media Analysis options has helped noticeably. It no longer freezes, but still seems to take longer than with Elements 12.

Just Elements 13.
Noticed something else. When I haven't used Elements for a while, things take considerably longer at first. Once I've worked with a couple of pictures, things speed up. Presumably this is due to having to swap various parts in when Elements is started. Once you're underway I'd guess the swapping is reduced and therefore things speed up.
Similarly, I notice faster response when I use Elements right after a reboot, with little else running.
I'm no technical whiz, but this suggests to me that more memory might help.
In any event, the major improvement seems to have come when I unchecked the Media-Analysis options. As things stand, the response is acceptable.
Thanks.

Elements Organizer Not Responding - Locks when gets to "100%"

This is simply unacceptable. If I understand right, EVERYONE who uses Organizer finds it does not work properly when you have a lot of pictures (I have lots). It locks as the app starts, while it searches <watched folders> - gets to 100% then "Not responding" error shows. I can't go in and tell it to stop watching folders, since it is locking. Ideas anyone, before I return this and get a refund? And shame on Adobe for allowing this to continue - there is someone who owns this function in the software development group, and they need the opportunity to find new career challenges.

Adobe photoshop elements 11 organizer, NOT RESPONDING

I installed 11 yesterday and have converted existing catalogs, imported new media, including some movie clips. While in organizer I watched some of the short movies ( 2 minutes or less). I opened, watched and closed 2 or three movies and then Organizer just hangs in the "not responding" category of windows 7. This has occcurred 3 times. There are 18,000 items in organizer. This machine has 4 GB of memory and lots of disk space. Any ideas?

If You don’t need people recognition and the auto-analysis options you could turn everything off to improve performance. Go to:
Edit >> Preference >> Media Analysis
Uncheck all the boxes and click OK

PSE 9 Organizer Not Responding

I just bought PSE 9. I started tagging people in organizer and it seemed to be working fine. Now I can work for a few minutes and all the sudden the little blue Window oval appers and it says that PSE Organizer is not responding and it gives me the option to close the program or wait for the program resume. I can hear my hard drive working like crazy when this happens It usually takes about 10 minutes to recover. It has gotten to the point that it often stops responding when I click on any thing in Organizer
I am very unhappy with this situation, does anyone have any idea whats is goin on and how I can fix it?
I am using Windows 7 with 6 meg of RAM

Same problem, have seen post that suggest it is a problem with your catalog.
I have since had to make up three new catalogs, this is getting very old!!!
If anyone has other solutions, please let me know.

PSE 10 Organizer NOT RESPONDING

Organizer has worked for several months. Two days ago stopped responding. Got Adobe Tech support to help un-installing and re-installing, but no change. PSE 9 Organizer works OK. Thumbnails load okay, but when move slider or try to edit get "Oranizer Not Responding" message and screen dims. When re-installed settings change so goes to Organizer automatically on opening, so Home/welcome screen not available. Before re-installation tried tutorials, etc. and they worked okay. I'm essentially out of business on PSE 10. How do I get Organizer to work?

I just followed advice of others to turn off all Media Analysis and Backup Synchronization and the Organizer appears to working normally again! Many thanks!!

PSE11 Organizer stops responding

I'm running PSE11 on XP. I was previously running PSE8, and converted my catalogs from there.
The problem is that Organizer is in general quite slow, and frequently stops responding when I am opening I file selected in Organizer into Editor.
Any help or suggestions would be much apprecited, as this is a major time waster.
Cheers, Jo

Organizer not responding?

I have now discovered how I can select a specific album in iPhotos from which to "get" my photos but the Elements Organizer box just says "Reading your iphoto database. This could take a few minutes" and nothing happens. I DO have 23,000 photos but surely I won't have to wait like this everytime I want to work on a few photos. Advice please. Thanks J.

I'm not sure exactly what you're doing, but "from iphoto" will import every photo in iphoto. If you want to import only a few photos, export them to the desktop, put them where you want to keep them, and use 'from files and folders' to import those copies.
Do not EVER poke around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto. It's the fastest way to corrupt your iphoto library and lose your photos.

PSE 3.0 Organizer Not Responding

Have been using Photoshop Elements 3.0 for several years. Suddenly the organizer won't open to display photos. I have at least 2,000 photos but thought the organizer would handle unlimited number. This is the first time I've had a problem and only use PSE to organize my photos and do some minor editing. This old lady would greatly appreciate any ideas!!

Does clicking Conrtol+1 help you? Let me know if it helps. Please make sure that your catalog is same as the one where you imported your media.

Crash: "Elements 10 Organizer is not responding"

Elements 10 crashes EVERY TIME I try to use it. I ge thte above error message and the screen freezes. I tried removing and reloading the software, but the problem remained. I have Vista, 32 bit.
Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

Hi Martin,
Let me see if I understand your problem:
OK, so the Organizer isn't "crashing" every time you "use" it. It will open the old catalog without any error messages. I assume you're using the "Thumbnail" view where you see all the images in the catalog. (Is that right?) It's when you attempt to scroll down through the displayed images that you get an "Organizer is not responding" error message. You also get that error message if you highlight an image and select "Edit with Photoshop Elements".
Do I understand correctly what's happening?
If I've got all that right, it might be a system resources issue -- we'll need some more details:
The Organizer obviously worked in the past; when did you start getting the error? By that I mean can you think of anything you did in the Organizer just before the errors started, such as importing videos, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as installing a new printer or updating the printer driver?
Do you have any of the Organizer's Media Analysis features enabled? Are you using the Watch Folders function?
How many images are in your catalog?
Where are the actual images stored? On your internal drive, or on an external drive, or on a network location?
How much RAM is installed on your computer?
How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
Do you get that Organizer error even when you have no other applications running in the background?
Added:
One quick and easy thing you can do is to use File...Catalog to open the Catalog Manager window. Highlight your old catalog and hit the "Repair" button (choose "Repair anyway" if prompted). When the repair finishes, repeat, this time hitting the "Optimize" button. See if your old catalog works better.

My Photoshop elements 11 and 13 organizer suddenly exits. photoshop elements is not responding. Message occurs when the error is found. solicit help, That's all.

We really cannot know. So far you haven't told us anything about your system nor is there any feasible way to diagnose what this "missing file" could be, no matter what. That is, short of elaborate tracking and observation using specialised system diagnosis tools. The welcome screens can be brough back via the Help menu, but well, this might bring back the problems as well. Anyway, this is most likely nothing that a forum can help you with. If you know a computer geek, give him a call. Otherwise I don't see what we could do for you.

After choosing a jpg for upload, the "Upload File" button on the organization's receiving site of does not respond. The second problem: it's impossible to highlight more that one file at a time.

Clicking the first file, holding down shift and clicking the last file doesn't work. I've tried all manner of command, control, shift combos without success. This one-at-a-time attachment problem also happens in web mail. Are these two issues related? Thanks for non-techie solutions for both issues. I have Safari 5.0.6 (5533.22.3) and Leopard.

Thanks for your response. I do have javascript turned on (not java). To answer your question,
I was trying to upload 3 jpgs to the submissions page of a visual arts website. I could only highlight one jpg at a time in the "Choose File" option, and then the "Upload File" button of the submissions page would not respond.
It's an ongoing problem with this site (I'm the only one with this issue and there are a lot of submissions). I have to send the images as email attachements to the administrator of the site. When doing this via webmail, I still the one attachment at a time problem, but the images get to the administrator. Thanks for helping.

Can only choose attachments one at a time for webmail and for entries to an art organization website. And the site's "Upload File" button will not respond, so I can't even upload the one jpg I have chosen.

I am the only one who can't upload to the submissions page. Javascript is turned on, not java, with Safari 5.0.6 and Leopard. Thanks for helping.

Adobe premiere elements 11 not responding.

Adobe premiere elements 11 says, "not responding" and asks me if I want to close the program. I have done this multiple times and nothing has worked. I am getting very frustrated and am not impressed by this program. What can I do to fix it?

hunttofilmt
Here is what I was like you to look at and determine if this workflow behaves any differently than the one that you are using now. I am assuming that you are having similar problems with Go Pro Hero 3's 960p @ 48 progressive frames per second and with the Canon's 1080p @ 24 progressive frames per second.
Let us confine these initial tests to the Canon 1080p24, for now to avoid any complications of editing 960p48 in Premiere Elements.
1. Open Premiere Elements 11 and go to File Menu/New/Project and set the project preset to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p24
or
PAL
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p24
depending on whether you have a NTSC or PAL install for your Premiere Elements 11.
Before you exit the new project dialog, be sure to put a check mark next to Force Selected Project Settings on this Project.
2. Import your 1080p24 into the project using Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets.
3. In Project Assets, double click the file there to open the Preview Window and proceed to trim your video.
Here is a description of the process from my blog post. Please cross check what you are doing with the steps that I used in the blog post demo.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/06/pe11-project-assets-organization-for.html
If that is not successful, then stop and let us know.
If that is successful, then let us look at the 960p48...there is an atypical format for Premiere Elements. Here we are going to set the project preset manually as in the case with the Canon, but here we are going to use the project preset of:
NTSC
DV
Standard
or
PAL
DV
Standard
depending on whether you have a NTSC or PAL install for your Premiere Elements 11.
Before you exit the new project dialog, be sure to have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting for this Project.
Then continue with the import and trimming of the video in the Preview Window as you did with the 1080p24 footage.
Looking forward to your results.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On....By the way, how is your external hard drive formatted NTFS or FAT32? Depending on the results from the above mini tests, please look at importing/trimming one of your 1080p24 in the 1080p24 project but import the 1080p24 from a computer desktop save location instead of the external hard drive.
