'Restoring People Recognition Data' hung up

Have installed new Elements 9 and Premiere 9.
All works well, except can't get into organizer without hanging up on this
message, 'Restoring People Recognition Data'. It shows 2% progress and just hangs there.
I have to close out of program to do anything.
Please help.
Thank you,
Mark Choate

here I am one year later than others on this thread and I am having the same problem moving to PSE 11 after installing it on a new machine. I backuped up the PSE 8 catalog on my old machine (onto a removable USB terabyte drive that includes both the photos and backup). I moved the drive to the new machine. I restored to new location (also on the terabyte drive, but not the same place as the backup or the photos).
Hours later, it hungs up on "restoring people recognition". The only difference is that my percent is 3% not 2%. :-(
I killed it and tried to open PSE. It stops at the same place.
As it says on
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4083141
I tried open with shift to create a new catalog and after creating a small other empty catalog
I unchecked properties | Media-Analysis | Analyze Photos for People Automatically.
I closed everything
Reopened with shift held down. It asks to pick a catalog. I switch to the big restored one and I get the same hang on restoring people recognition.
So, this did nothing to change the behavior, so I can not used PSE 11 yet.

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop Elements forum.

Start up Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 - why does it stall at "restoring people recognition data" 42%

I just downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 & Adobe Premiere Elements 11 (Windows,English). When it starts up it stalls at the dialogue box "restoring people recognition data" 42%.
I have to close the program then the whole thing happens again.
Pretty frustrating for $150............... to upgrade from Elements 8

This seens to be a problem of Media Analysis which generally arises if there are too many/too large assets in your catalog.
Just try the following steps:-
1. Go to Edit->Preferences->Media Analysis
2 Go to People Recognition options
3. Uncheck the "Analyse Photo for People recognition".
4. Press "OK"

Restoring People Recognition Data issue

upgraded from elements 8 to 11 and Organizer keeps hanging. says "Restoring people recognition data" stays at 20% and never moves. Tried several times. Tried holding Shift, but not dice.

Click on the add people icon at the bottom of Organizer and leave indexing to run until complete.

Restoring People Recognition Data

I downloaded elements 11 as an upgrade from elements 8. The download went fine but now I am frozen on "Restoring People Recoginition". My old version of Elements 8 is still activated. Could this be the Problem?

PSE8 should not be the problem. Try temporarily turning off auto-analysis.
Go to Edit >> Preferences >> Media Analysis
Uncheck all the boxes and click OK
If the Organizer won’t budge try getting to the prefs via the Editor:
Edit >> Preferences >>Organize & Share
You can re-start people recognition at any time by clicking the Add People icon at the bottom of the organizer and then let the indexing run again.

PSE 10 - "Restoring People Recognition Data" Hangs

Just purchased PSE 10 yesterday and have yet to use it, because it hanges a 60-70% even after hours.
Unsuccessfully tried:
Cancel button
Ctrl+Alt+Shift button depressed before clicking on organizer
Waiting 10 hours…
Specs:
Windows 7 – 64 Bit

I ended up following the work around answer at thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/729630
Unfortunately, all recognition data is lost...
Not very please with PSE 10.

Restoring People Recognition Data: Elements 11 Organizer is frozen @ 55%. Why?

Windows 7 Professional O/S.
Prior version Elements 8 also installed.

The Organizer preferences may have become corrupted, needing to be automatically re-built on a re-start.
Close Elements.
Click the Start Button and then your user name (in place of mine) and navigate to:
C: Users >> 99Jon >> AppData >> Roaming >> Adobe >> Elements Organizer >>11.0 >> Organizer
Delete the PSA file (with key symbol) and delete Status.dat
After deleting these two files re-start the program

Photoshop Elements 10 hung up at Restoring people recognition 2%

Hello
I just buy Photoshop Elements 10. after install, I could not open Organizer because it is hung up at "Restoring People Recognition 2%"
Please help. Thank you

Hold down the shift button when you open Elements Organizer. Try to create a new catalog and see if it launches the organizer. If it does go to "edit" menu then preferences.Under preferences you have an option to select media-analysis, click it and uncheck the option for "analyze photos for people automatically". Click OK the close the organizer. Hold down the shift key again to launch the catalog manager then select the original catalog that could not be opened then click open. Hopefully you can open organizer now.

Restoring People Recognition hangs PSE12

I upgraded my computer from XP to Windows 7 and installed all the updates for Windows 7 before installing PSE12.
After installing PSE12, I converted my PSE8 organizer catalog to PSE12. I had to rename the catalog since the default name was already used. The conversion worked fine and the photos showed up in the browser.
However, a process started called "restoring people recognition". I only used face matching a few times in PSE8 and don't really want to use it in PSE12. Anyway the process showed 9% completion and stops and PSE12 organizer is unresponsive. At this point I cannot use the organizer since it gets hung on the "restoring people ..." process even after rebooting. Also, I looked for a process to kill in the task manager but was only able to kill the entire PSE12 organizer. Any suggestions?

PSE 10 stuck in restoring people recognition

I just upgraded from PSE 8 to 10 and now am stuck in restoring people recognition.

Operating system?
Describe in more detail exactly what you did, and what is happening.

Restore face recognition error

I have Elements 12. I don't have rarely used the face recognition feature. When I attempt to open my organizer, I can see my last worked photos and a screen pops up saying it is restoring the 'people recognition data'. It stops at 3% loaded and a Microsoft error window appears telling me the program failed, it searches for a repair it can't find, then closes my program. I can open the editor using a photo on my desktop but I need to search for photos in on my C drive and open them in edit one at a time. I am very frustrated. I recently purchased a Canon 70D and shoot RAW and JPEG files. Is there a fix for this?

> don't really understand the instructions going through the CMD route
Using CMD you could enable the real Admin account but as far as I know you can uninstall the Face Recognition software in control panel -> software
Here remove the face recognition and reboot the notebook.
This should work too.
>There are 2 drivers on the Toshiba website, but the latest is from 2010, did this work for you, as it didn't for me?
It would be interesting to know the notebook model. But the latest version should work properly.
Important is that you would remove the old version from the system firstly!

PSE 9 - Error converting facial recognition data

After PSE 9 successfully converted my PSE 8 database (16.5K items), I went to open the newly converted database. I received a message that it was converting the facial recognition data.
The first time I tried doing this, the facial recognition conversion stalled at 80%. So I deleted the new database and reconverted the PSE 8 data.
This time, the facial data conversion went to 100%, but followed up with several messages that the conversion failed and that most (all?) of the facial recognition data was deleted and would have to be redone.
Fortunately, I have only played with facial recognition a bit and didn't rely on it for tag generation.
However, I thought someone might want to know about this. I would be happy to upload my PSE 8 catalog if Adobe want's to try to recreate the problem. It is almost 850MB, so it would take a wjile to upload....

What yetanotherron reported looks very similar to the problem I had after upgrading to PSE 9. The PSE 9 Organizer remained in "Restoring facial recognition data" forever and I could never use it.
In another thread on this forum I saw the recommendation to hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift while clicking on "Organizer". I did this, holding these keys until the Catalog Manager came up. I could then convert the catalog to a PSE 9 version and open it. From then on I could start the Organizer without problems.
The problem seems to be that the installation routine of the upgrade has no provision for converting the catalog from the older version.
I still have these problems with the converted catalog:
1. all the RAW files are hidden in my PSE 8 catalog. The "Hidden" status is ignored by Organizer 9 so they are all visible again.
2. the folder location data after conversion shows pictures in the wrong folder. That's quite a mess which I have reported to Adobe.
I'm afraid Adobe launched PSE 9 before it was ready.

People Recognition: Empty dialog window.

Hi,
I'm experiencing some problems when using the People Recognition function. I’m in the organizer and showing all media and clicking the “Add people” button. The organizer starts preparing the files, but ends up with an empty dialog window as shown below. It doesn’t seem to matter how many or few photos I select, when activating this function.
I’ve used this function several times before (inside the actual catalog) without any problems. There are still a lot of unrecognized people inside the catalog, so this shouldn’t be the reason for this odd behavior.
Any help is greatly appreciated
I've already tried the following:
- Repairing the catalog
- Optimizing the catalog
- Restoring the preferences to default settings
- Renaming the "status.dat" and "psa.prf" files
My specifications:
- Installed Adobe software - Photoshop Elements 12 + Premiere Elements 12
- Catalog containing approx. 17.000 photos and 400 video clips
- Windows 7 64 bit
- Quick Time Player version 7.7.4
Thanks in advance.

You may need to contact Adobe directly for issues with new installations. It is usually possible to get it fixed right away by starting an on-line chat whenever an agent is free.

How can I simply restore lost app data from iCloud, without resetting all content. Please someone!!!

I accidentally deleted a timesheet app from my iPhone, I reinstalled the app again but the data did not come back with it. Can someone help me with details how I can restore my lost data for just that app, from iCloud. iCloud is and was set up on my phone and was updated 3 days before this happened. People have suggested I "reset all content and setting" and it will come back. The sounds of deleting all content on my phone worries me. I have no other devices to back up on, so my only back up is in "iCloud"
Is there a simple way I can download and reinstall just the data for the app from iCloud?

Delete all content and settings will wipe your phone. You cannot selectively restore in iTunes or iCloud, it is either all or none. You would have to restore to a backup before you deleted the app to be able to recover the data. However, anything that you did since that time would be lost.

Reset "ignore" in people recognition in PSE 9

Hi all,
First, as I am no native speaker: please excuse my bad English, thanks.
Does anybody know how to reset the people recognition?
Problem: I did people recognition over my whole catalog. Doing this, I told PSE to ignore some people. Now, after a while, I would like to tag these people too (and not by using the "white rectangle" manually for some thousands of photos).
If I click on people recognition now, PSE tells me, that there are no people unrecognized any more.
==> how can I get PSE 9 to "forget", which people where ignored and to suggest them all (except the ones with tag) again?
Please help without forcing me to delete all my tags already set ;-)
Thanks a lot in advance!
Mano

I would not recommend you remove the BreezeData folder or any content within this. You will loose the ability for PsE 9 to make people suggestions on the existing media in the catalog. In addition, attempting to run People Recognition on any existing media in the catalog will issue a dialog "No unabled people found in your selection" even though there are unlabled people.
The only way I have found to reset the "ignore" option is to remove the media from the catalog and then re-import it. Export the tags before you do this. You will have to confirm faces again. I would try baby steps with a small test catalog to make sure you don't loose anything before you try this on your real catalog.
It would be great if Adobe could add an option (Under the Edit menu and with the right mouse click) "Run People Analysis" on photos which would allow you to start over with people recognition on a photo. This would add the bounding boxes which were removed with the "ignore" click.
This is what I think is happening...
Once a media item is added to the catalog, a flag is set on that media item telling it that People Analysis has not been executed yet.
If Media-Analysis/Analyze Photos for People Automatically is enabled, the People Analysis will run on newly imported photos. This will identify potential people with the bounding boxes and some data which helps identify the face. This creates the data in the BreezeData folder. I think the bounding box information is also duplicated in the catalog.pse9db file -- but face identification data.
If Media-Analysis/Analyze Photos for People Automatically is not enabled, People Analysis will run when you click on the "Start People Recognition".
The people tag information is also stored in the catalog.pse9db file when you 'confirm' a face to the bounding box.
Some flag must be set in the catalog.pse9db file after People Analysis is run on a photo to tell the system that People Analysis has run. This prevents it from running ever again on that particular media item. Running Auto-Analysis will not run People Analysis as it seems these are considered to be separate tasks.
You will also run into problems if you edit a photo using photoshop elements and save it as the same file name. Again, the Organizer will not make any recommendations on faces because people analysis was run once on the photo -- even though the content may have been changed. The "Run People Analysis" option would help with this scenario as well!
