Upgrading Organizer 11 to 12

I am a relatively new user to Photoshop Elements.  I bought Photoshop Elements 11 and have enjoyed the organizer 11 for tagging etc all of my photos.  I just purchased Premiere Elements 12 (as I couldn't get 11) for my videos and now am not sure if this was a good idea.  I have not installed it yet and was searching how to do the upgrade of the organizer and now see that perhaps I cannot use the organizer 12 with Photoshop Elements 11.  If I stick with organizer 11 will Premiere Elements 12 work with Organizer 11?  Will I lose my tags during the installation or should I choose to not convert the catalog?  Confused   Thinking I will now need to purchased Photoshop Elements 12 now to have it all work together.  Any suggestions or help?  I use a Windows 8 PC.

Premiere Elements, Photoshop Elements and Elements Organizer are not compatible across versions. In your case, you can convert the catalog of Elements 11 to 12, but then you will have to maintain 2 catalogs - one with Photoshop Elements 11 and another with Premiere Elements 12.

  • MobileMe "New Calendar" upgrade by Microsoft...??

    Am I missing something? Was the new mobileMe calendar upgrade designed by Microsoft instead of by Apple? Things are supposed to get better with Apple, not worse as with Microsoft.
    iCal before the new calendar upgrade - Organizer sends me new iCal event. Message appears in my iCal notifications. I click on "Accept". Done, perfect, Apple-way.
    iCal after new calendar upgrade - Organizer sends me new iCal event. Message does not appear in iCal notifications. I receive a new email with invite. The email has all broken images (ugly). I click on "Load Images". Images load. Now I see a "Accept" button. Clicking on it actually opens Safari. I wait for Safari to open and for page to load. Now I see a link where I can download an .ics file with the calendar event. I download file. I then have to find the correct .ics file among all the other files I downloaded. I double-click on .ics file to store event in calendar. I have to switch back to finder to delete stray downloaded .ics file.
    ???? Am I missing something? Is this dumb and absurd? Only Microsoft could have come up with such a loss of functionality, loss of practicality, loss of smoothness of streamlining, loss of simple GUI, loss of... my mind.
    My most useful link of the week:

    PS - I confirmed with a tech support chat that this unbelievable behavior is actually by design - ExpressLane Case 195850002

    Agree 100%...the new MobileMe Calendar "upgrade" is a huge step backward in most respects.
    Just spent the last hour trying to help my wife figure out how to undo the damage. In my opinion, the most obnoxious behavior of the new "upgrade" is that it completely commandeers all of your calendars, so instead of being able to send business meeting invites from my business email account and personal invites from my me.com account, all new meetings are now sent from the me.com account.
    Even that behavior could be acceptable if there was an easy way to change the name of my me.com address to something more "business appropriate", but of course that is another me.com failure...

  • Will my catalog safely Upgrade from Elements 5 to Elements 8?

    I have over 16,000 photos tagged in my Elements 5 catalog.  I am hesitant to upgrade to 8 for fear of not being able to reconnect to the catalog.  Any assurances or tips?  Chet

    As long as there is nothing currently wrong with your catalog and nothing interferes with the conversion process, you should have a save catalog conversion.
    Besides, when the conversion takes place, a copy of your catalog is created. So even if the conversion fails for some reason, you'll still have your original catalog working in PSE5.

  • FAQ: My files are missing from Elements Organizer, or How to reconnect your images?

    What is Elements Organizer?
    The Elements Organizer can be used to arrange, codify, systemize, group, and classify your media. When you import your images and video into the Orgnizer, you are adding information about your files to a catalog. Your files remain on your hard drive where they were, unless you are importing them from a camera, in which case the files are copied to your hard drive to a location of your choosing.
    What is an Elements Organizer catalog?
    The catalog is a database that stores information about the files you've imported into Elements Organizer. When importing a file, the first thing Organizer does is collect the file's name and location on the hard drive. If the file has any attached compatible metadata, such as keyword tags, these are imported as well. You can use multiple catalogs and yourr catalogs can be carried forward from version to version.
    Why does Elements Organizer say my files are missing?
    Since the catalog database only stores information about your file, and not the file itself, if any of that information is changed outside of Elements Organizer, the connection to the file is lost. There are three ways this can happen: the file name is changed, the file location is changed, or the file has been deleted. If you need to rename, move, or delete a file, you can do so within the Elements Organizer, and then the connection is not lost.
    What is Reconnecting?
    When a file has been renamed, moved, or deleted, the catalog database needs to be updated with that new information. The Reconnection process allows you to point out a file's new name, it's new location, or to delete the database entry on your file if the file no longer exists on your hard drive.
    Where can I learn more?

    Anything besides reconnecting all the files, such as switching the drive letter  (if that is even possible)?
    The easiest way to fix this is to change the drive letter. Here are instructions for Windows 7: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/change-drive-letters-windows-7.htm
    To prevent this from happening again, you can change the drive to some very high letter, like X:, and then it should remain constant. In Lightroom, right-click on the top level folder ,and select Find Missing Folder, and then point it to your X: drive.
    I know I can "Import---Add to catalog"  all the photos from my external hard drive back into the catalog but I do have a question:
    I won't address your question specifically, since re-importing is a very bad idea. A very bad idea. You will lose information that is not in the sidecar files, such as collection members, edit history, flags, virtual copies, stacks and a few other things. Just don't go there. Change the drive letters, as I explained.

  • Conversion of Photoshop Elements Catalog from 12 to 13 fails

    Hello,
    On installing Photoshop Elements 13 I attempted to convert my catalog from Photoshop Elements 12. The conversion fails with the following dialog:
    I have followed all the steps outlined in this article (Troubleshoot catalog backup, upgrade | Organizer | Elements 6 or later) and still the catalog will not convert. The pse-conversion-log file states the following:
    conversion log: Started conversion from C:/ProgramData/Adobe/Elements Organizer/Catalogs/My Catalog to C:/ProgramData/Adobe/Elements Organizer/Catalogs/My Catalog temp 1
    copying entire catalog directory...
    error: copying C:/ProgramData/Adobe/Elements Organizer/Catalogs/My Catalog failed, aborting
    catalog copy failed
    conversion log: Conversion Failed
    The process appears to fail when copying the bReeze-18683.xml file.
    Can anyone help me please?

    Thanks Michel,
    When I made the copy of the catalog there was a file that could not be found and copied across, when I looked for it in the original catalog I found it was called b2eeza-18684.xml . So I thought I would try and convert the copy without removing the breeze data folder because this file (which may be corrupt) does not exist in the copy of the catalog. It worked.
    One note, in order for the copy of the catalog to work with Find More Catalogs the original catalog needed to be removed from the default location that I had it in. Elements seemed to detect that it and the copy were the same catalog and would not add the copy to the list of catalogs that could be converted. Once I had moved the original catalog to another folder I was able to add the copy.

  • Elements 13 ERROR Converting Catalog & Resolution

    Hi,
    I'm upgrading from PSE 12 to PSE 13
    The error reads:
    Conversion Failed
    Catalog conversion failed. Try repairing the catalog with the software that created it and retry conversion. Please refer to the Help article "Catalog Conversion Errors" for more details.
    I have no files to reconnect.
    Adobe Revel is connected
    I'm on Win 8.1 64

    Resolution was great in 12.  PSE 13 is ridiculous. Can't use it that large.
    Also, this hasn't damaged my original catalog file correct?

    After following the directions under this
    Troubleshoot catalog backup, upgrade | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
    it finally worked. Now can someone tell me if I'm supposed to rename the
    Rename the file thumb.5.old back to thumb.5.cache.
    and the same with this file
    Rename the file face.thumb.9.old back  to face.thumb.9.cache. 

  • VERY Disappointed-just upgraded from 12 to 13 and the functionality of the Organizer has completely changed

    I have been a long time user of Photoshop elements/Premier and I just loaded version 13 (from 12) and they have completely changed the functionality of the organizer!  OMG!!!!!  You can no longer move a picture easily in the albums and you MUST use one of the Adobe preset backgrounds for a slide show.  Really???  Generally I like the templates for certain uses but I am creating long movies of travels.  I do NOT want your backgrounds, but apparently I have no choice.  And I can no longer interface with Premier - then why did you sell them to me as a package?
    I am sure I can't get my money back because I did a direct download but I have uninstalled the program and gone back to version 12 - BUYER BEWARE if you have been using Premier with the organizer it will not work seamlessly.  Such a disappointment because a good and generally well functioning program has been butchered.  .

    I've just looked to buy iCab as people have suggested but reviews suggest it doesn't work reliably since IOS5.
    Frankly I feel cheated and I've been a historic fan since having an Apple IIci 20 years ago. A major plus point in iPad usability has gone. Funilly enough I was about to recommend 25 iPads as Safari was so useable and the users I had in mind having seen my iPad were keen. But I couldn't hand on heart recommend iPads now and after seeing how Apple drops key functionality and usability wouldn't trust this supplier. Guess I'm glad I didn't recommend them and then have this happen.
    And if I want tabs I'd have gone with Andriod for half the price.
    It wouldn't be so bad if I could reverse the upgrade.
    Anyone know how to cheat the system?

  • Unable to Connect to my organization's EAS using MS Mail app since upgrade to Windows 8.1 -- certificate error

    Last November, my ASUS laptop forced me to update to Windows 8.1.  Since then, I cannot connect to my organization's mobile EAS using the Mail/Calendar/People app.  The Mail app says "We could not connect to .... because of problems with its
    digital certificates.  Contact your system administrator for info."  I also tried to delete the account and recreate it.  At the account info screen, it gave a related error message, stating "To connect to this account, you need a
    valid certificate on the PC. Contact your system administrator for more info."
    In trying to recreate the account, I note that the 8.1 Mail app appears to have combined all EAS connections -- I seem to recall different options for connecting previously, including one that was more specific to mobile EAS connections.  My organization
    only supports connection to mobile devices, and I continue to be able to connect via Windows phone, Android (iOS devices also supported).
    I have done some digging and see that in my Windows Certificate Manager, there is a Personal Certificate with an error message. It's a "Token Signing Public Key" for "Client Authentication" using an RSA Public Key, but under the Certification
    Path tab, the status states "The issuer of the certificate could not be found."  I suspect this is the certificate that my organization's server is sending but is no longer being recognized by Windows 8.1.
    My organization has been unwilling to support me on this.  They point to the fact that all other devices work, my connection worked with Windows 8.0, and they don't have enough users that connect via Windows 8.1 laptops/tablets to troubleshoot on their
    end.  They also don't want to change setting that then cause other users to lose connectivity on the more commonly used mobile devices.
    So, to trouble shoot myself, I have looked up posts on related issues and I have done all of the following to no avail:
    - Make sure my Windows is up to date, including that latest Certificate/Credential update;
    - Uninstalled the Mail/Calender/People App, restarted, and reinstalled it;
    - Had MS Online support try to trouble shoot.  They created a test account and tried to connect using that to no avail.
    Notably, I have two Windows 8.1 machines -- my wife and I got matching ASUS laptops that both upgraded to 8.1 from 8.0  -- and I am unable to connect to my organization's mobile EAS using either machine. 
    To me, this is clearly a Windows 8.1 issue.  The Mail/Calendar/People app should interface with mobile EAS exactly the same way that other mobile OSes do.  Apparently this was the case with Windows 8.0, but no longer. 
    The last thing I'll add is that my organization requires password and remote wiping when connecting to the mobile EAS.  But, this wasn't an issue when I had Windows 8.0 -- it connected fine and mandated password and remote wipe features.
    NOTE: I originally posted this question on the Windows 8.1 Tehchnet forum and was told by an MS Engineer Soumya Sunda Debroy to repost in this forum. 
    PLEASE ADVISE.  YOUR HELP IS APPRECIATED.

    It's important to keep in mind that the picture files are NOT stored in the Organizer. They are not stored in Lightroom or Bridge either...
    The organizer is based on a catalog which stores the pictures properties, mainly the location of the pictures on your drive(s). It's the same idea of catalogs in Lightroom, and the nice thing is that Lightroom can convert organizer catalogs to its own format. The most obvious way for you will be to use Lightroom.
    Bridge is a file browser which is a different way than to use catalogs.

  • Organizer 10 missing thumbnails after upgrade

    After upgrading from Elements 7 to 10, I'm missing 1400 thumbnails in Organizer 10 that are still present in Organizer 7. Is there some way to find the missing images and get them viewable in Organizer 10? Thank you.

    Well, I figured how to fix the problem manually, fairly quickly. Clicked on Display, then folder location. In the My Pictures section, it was was easy to identify the 20-30 folders (out of about 100) whose images had not been imported into organizer. Right clicked each one, one at a a time, and clicked to import images. Voila.  Took about 10 minutes, and all the images are now in Organizer 10. Thanks for the ideas to help me.

    I just installed Photoshop elements 11. Install of the application was fine. When I clicked to open Organizer, I received a messaging indicating that it was out of date and coudl not be upgraded. How can I address/fix this?

    Thank you for the replies. I'm afraid neither one helped.
    kglad, I never get to any error code so your link can't help.
    Jeff, I looked at your link and
    a) again, I never make it to an error code
    b) I'm definitely connected to the internet
    c) I can access secure sites; I tried connecting with the firewall disabled and the same thing happened, so I don't believe it's a firewall issue.
    d) I don't understand the checking host sites - this is far too complicated for a novice user. It should not be this difficult to get a software running. I don't want to mess with these kinds of settings.
    e) I followed the steps for the global sign in root CA and my screen looks the same as the picture here.
    I can't activate the software offline as there is no option to generate a response code when I click on having trouble connecting to the internet. All I get is a prompt to change my password.
    If the problem were simply connectivity from my computer, then why does the box completely freeze? Can't cancel, can't click on the little X to close it, can't right click on the box to close it. I have to reboot every single time. I know others have had the same problem and I haven't found any answers that I could apply.
    I don't understand for the life of me why Adobe does not have TELEPHONE customer support. I have spent 2 days on this, this is crazy.

  • All of my photos have disappeared from PSE Organizer 13 (after I upgraded it).

    All of my photos have disappeared from PSE Organizer 13 (after I upgraded it).  The files are all on the HD.  When I try and reimport them, Organizer says they are already in there and will not allow me to proceed.  When I highlight a keyword, Get the message  "NO MEDIA TO BE DISPLAYED".  Perhaps I am dense, but I find the Search function of the Forum to be near useless, unless I just happen to type the Exact name of a topic.
    I now have no access to perhaps 35,000 files from 12 years of using PSE!
    GFrey

    Which operating system are you running on?   Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    Which version did you upgrade from?  updated from PSE 13 to PSE 13.1
    In the organizer, which view are you using - in the View menu is Details checked or unchecked - does it make any difference?  was unchecked now checked.  Now can see the other files, but the Keyword tags that I had attached in the past does not bring up the selected frames.
    In the View menu, select Media types - are all checked?  At this point I have only Ohotos and videos checked
    In View menu, select Hidden Files - is Show All Files checked?  yes
    I'm assuming that you are in Media view, what happens if you select People Places or Events?  get groupings of files with those keywords.
    Brian
    Thanks Brian, at least some of my problems are gone, just can't get the keyword sorting to work correctly

  • WINDOWS UPGRADE FROM V8 TO V8.1 ONLY THE EDIT PORTION WILL OPEN NOT THE ORGANIZER

    Uninstalled PSE12 and reinstalled it over 15 times. Win8.1.  Had system checked out by Dell.  Adobe live support in non-existent.  Editor works fine but no reference to the Organizer, not even on the shortcut.. I Even tried the trial version.  Everything was working since Sept 2013  then stopped about 4 weeks ago or so. In Jan 2014 upgraded win8 to win8.1  .  Where is tech support login function? Will not buy PSE13 till PSE12 works..

    So are you saying you don't have an Organizer icon in the Editor or that when you click it nothing happens?
    This is on Windows 8.1 Update 1:
