Watch folders stopped working in Elements 8 Organizer

Please can anyone help?
I upgraded to Elements 8 some time ago and have been successfully using the watch folders service for several months to quickly add my edited photos to organizer. The watch folders has suddenly stopped working. I have read through many forum posts on the subject, but nothing seems to get it back. Adobe Active File Monitor is set to automatic and is started (I've actually tried re-starting it but still didn't work). In Organizer the watch folder is set to the folder and sub-folders I want to import from - same as always. I've tried removing the folder and adding it again.
Not only this, but the alternative, checking the box to add to Organizer when saving my files also doesn't work properly, it only imports the first of a batch of edited pictures. When I go to get media from folder, Organizer tells me the files are already there, which they are, but I can only see them if I close and re-open the organizer.
Can anyone offer suggestions why things have suddenly gone wrong. Nothing on my compuer has changed. I'm using Vista Home Premium. I'm really really trying to avoid having to re-install elements.

I could have sworn that was the correct shortcut. Here are instructions for navigating to the Organizer's preference file along with some other info that might be helpful.
Step #3 in this document tells where to navigate to that preference file.

Watched folder stops working in cluster

Hi.
Have you ever seen this, when an XML file is picked up in the watched folder??
2009-08-27 17:52:16,660 ERROR [STDERR] Aug 27, 2009 5:52:16 PM com.adobe.idp.jobmanager.util.JobManagerUtil getQueueConnectionFactory
SEVERE: JobManager:getQueueConnectionFactory():Error:Could not dereference object
2009-08-27 17:52:16,660 ERROR [com.adobe.idp.jobmanager.ejb.JobManagerBean] JobManager:createJob:error sending message:java.lang.RuntimeException: JobManager:getQueueConnectionFactory():Error:
Windows 2003 Server + JBoss + LiveCycle 8.2.1 SP3
Two machines in a cluster.
Works fine in a non-clustered dev environment. Ported the app to the cluster, changed the watch folder to one shared by both machines, and got this.
Here is the watched folder:
\\xxxfile01a-906\as_shared\livecycle.xxxx.com\shared\documents\LCLetters\
And I know this file was written:
\\xxxfile01a-906\as_shared\livecycle.xxxx.com\shared\documents\LCLetters\input\RAMMLetter. xml
When the file is written, the above quoted errors are posted in server.log.
After those errors appear, the "input" folder mentioned above becomes empty.
In the test environment the watched folder was not a shared folder via UNC, but a local folder in C: In the new clustered environment, where a shared folder must be used, I have not yet ever seen the watched folder work. This is the first time I was able to get a file into that watched folder to try. (In other words, it's not that watched folders were working in the cluster before, and have now stopped. It's not that other watched folders are working in the cluster. This is the first and only watched folder being used in the cluster.)
Any ideas?

SOLVED:
The following note from a different forum explained and solved the problem:
Your JBoss is not yet fully configured for LiveCycle 8.0.1. There was a period of time when LiveCycle's documentation accidentally excluded the following configuration steps:

My Hotmail watcher has stopped working for the past week or so. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several different times, but it did not help

My Hotmail watcher has stopped working for the past week or so. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several different times, but it did not help

Hi,
It appears that the developer has released a newer version of Hotmail Watcher. Version 2.13 located at https://sites.google.com/site/sonthakit/hotmailwatcher. You should try updating it to see if it works then.

PSE12 editor stopped working - sas elements 12 editor not working - how can i get editor to work - which has been working fine for a year nowÉ

Thanks for the quick response ...
I had already tried deleting the review slide itself, though Captivate wouldn't let me - it just hid it. I tried again using the method you recommended but the slide remained in the filmstrip, so I tried deleting again, then re-added it from the Quiz Settings page ... no joy, same behavior as before.
I checked the Advanced Interaction page and confirmed that all of the scored questions were configuredthe same way as the non-scored questions, with the only difference being the pool that they were drawing from.
Other thoughts? I am by no means a Captivate expert but this one really feels like it shouldn't be this hard, and I'm more than a little afraid that it's the file itself that's jacked up ...

Spring Loaded Folders stopped working!

Hi,
In my main user on my MacBook Pro Spring Loaded Folders stopped working in the Finder. If I switch to one of my other users on the same MBP it works fine. So my question is, which preference should I delete to restore this functionality?
I already tried com.apple.finder.plist and that had no effect after relaunching the Finder.

Hi Terry,
Could it be that the preference got turned off? Go to Finder > Preferences > General, and down at the bottom, you should see a toggle switch for spring-loaded folders. If it's already on, try turning it off, relaunching Finder, and turning it on again (and then re-relaunching Finder!).
Hope that helps!

Distiller Watched Folders not working Acrobat 9.5.2, Mountain Lion.

I have just installed Acrobat 9.5.2 on a new Mac running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Watched Folders don't work. When a .ps file is placed in the IN folder, it get processed by Distiller, but no PDF file is produced. The Distiller log window claims the PDF has been produced and placed in the Out folder, but it's not there. The .ps file is moved or deleted, depending on the setting.
PS files can be dropped onto Distiller in the normal way and PDF files are produced correctly, so it's not a problem with permissions. The problem persists in a new user account, so it's not a User pref issue.
Another Mac with the same setup works fine, so it's not a compatibility bug. I have seen only one other forum page with a similar issue, relating to Distiller 6, but it's not clear what the solution was.

Thanks for the thought. No, it's not permissions. As I say, Distiller can distill a file that is drag 'n' dropped on it from that location and it will save a PDF file to that folder.
The problem occurs even when the folders are within the user domain, where permissions should not be an issue. It also happens on folders that have full rwxrwxrwx attributes.
Watched folders work fine on another computer with the same setup, so it isn't any annoying sandboxing that is stopping everyone from doing anything -- as you say!

Where is the 'Watch Folders' option in PSE 9 Organizer for Mac?

I'm sure it's right in front of my face, but I can't find it. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your replies. Bob, thanks to you especially for your candor. I use Adobe products for both photography and graphic design. I have been a loyal PSE user since PSE 4, but I use Photoshop (started out with CS2, now up to CS5) for all of my editing. I only use PSE for my digital asset management. The reason I need watched folders is that any new files I create in CS5 are not automatically added to my catalog in PSE. I switched to a Mac 3 years ago and wasn't happy with any of the alternatives, so I have been using PSE for Mac since version 9. However, over the years, I have found that I don't always remember to go back into the PSE catalog to import after working on something in CS5, so my catalog is always missing some files. I have found a watched folder plugin for Lightroom that seems to work pretty seamlessly in the background, but I found Lightroom not nearly as intuitive to use when I bought LR2 a few years back. Plus, facial recognition is a big feature for me, and LR4 still lacks that. I guess that, for Mac users, there's really no one solution that works as well as PSE does for Windows users.
I guess I'll have to continue my search...Thanks again for your replies!

Apple TV, YouTube watch later stopped working

A couple of days ago the watch later feature on the YouTube app stopped working. I'm getting this message 'YouTube is unavailable. Please try again later.'.
I'm able to watch YouTube videos from PlayLists or What to Watch.
I've tried restoring the AppleTV and logging out and reauthorizing my YouTube account, but this didn't help.

So, I unplugged everything and left it for a couple hours. Plugged it all back in and nothing. Just a blinking amber light. Is this thing dead?
Probably.
Not necessarily hard drive though.
I disassembled mine and could use the PATA hard drive so my assumption is it was a power or logic board issue.
Despite the 'designed to get hot' to dissipate heat feature, I don't think it does much for product longevity.
I've had both a 2006 iMac and Mac Mini have logic board failures over the years.

Work Folders Stopped Working - The sync server needs the user's current user name and password

Once the user has logged in to ADFS they get the following error message "The sync server needs the user's current user name and password (0x80c80300)"

I have attempted re creating the setup using several blog posts including:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2014/03/03/deploying-work-folders-with-ad-fs-and-web-application-proxy-wap.aspx. Including deleting all WAP rules, deleting and recreating the Relaying Party Trust and obtaining new certificates for the file
server.
ADFS and WAP are working correctly for our Office 365 federations and on-premise SharePoint, Exchange and other web applications
If I turn ADFS authentication off on the Work Folders server I can successfully connect and setup work folders on a domain joined computer, however as soon as ADFS authentication is enabled I get the above error.

Hi,
As you expressed, it should be an authentication issue.
I assume it will work by selecting Windows Authentication instead of ADFS in step shows in following picture.
The article also mentioned that the certificate is needed in following computers.
The self-signed AD FS certificate will need to be exported and installed on the following machines in the test environment:
Work Folders
Web Application Proxy
Domain joined Windows 8.1 client
Non-domain joined Windows 8.1 client
Thus I would like to confirm if certificate is also imported.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Watch Folders Not Working

I have recently upgraded to PSE 9 and like it a lot. I managed to import my catalogues and things look fine. However, the watch folder feature that worked so well in PSE 8 is not working at all in 9. I have it set to the correct folders, but none of them are watching. What can I do?
Melanie

I would like to bump this because I too cannot get Wacth folders to watch.
I am using a network share, and unless I am doing something wrong, it doesnt work.
I have a RAW image I open in Camera Raw. I modify it, then convert it to a jpg and have it saved into the same place the RAW file is located. I would expect the orginizer to see the added file and auto add it to the orginizer because this is what the feature claims to do, but nothing happens.

PSE 7 (Editor) Stopped Working & Premiere Elements Combo?

I have Windows Vista 64 Bit Edition HP Media Center LapTop and Windows XP Serv Pack 3 on a Gateway PC. I have been getting this (Editor) Unavailable error mesg in PSE 7 for Over a week Now. Have checked Online and completed every available Windows Updates for both systems. Yeah Tech Support wanted $$ to assist-These are newer products for me- and when I purchased I registered online-the Online does recognize my login-but does not show these registered under my account-called the activation line and they gave me a "Customer I.D. after getting HA reading Adobe site-I can see no available downloads or patches spec to this issue. Please help-since they do not offer option of getting my money back for software that does not work as promised-it is supposed to support both/either of my operating systems and this mesg is coming up for both. Wonder if their not showing these products "activated" has any impact??? Have a time sensitive project trying to complete and this is an S.O.S.

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Editor might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

After Tiger to Leopard conversion shared user folders stopped working

Hi,
Today i updated our mailserver to leopard. This server is also the OD master. Directly updated to 10.5.1 to have the latest bugfixes. Most things seem to work ok, but somehow our shared folders are not visible anymore. Checked the rights on them with cyradm and those are still good. When opening the account in thunderbird i can see the boxes but i cannot select them (can chose to subscribe / unsubscribe though). Has anybody else experienced this or know the answer to this problem?
Best regards,
Eelco

since i am testing leopard server with tiger and leopard clients i just noticed this problem seems somehow related to mail 3.1 accessing IMAP ACLs differently to mail 2.x, as tiger client to leopard server works fine in picking up shared imap folders.
result: atm assigning ACLs individually seems to be the only way to share imap folders... ;0(
any ideas on how to make group ACLs work again would be highly appreciated.

On a win7 32 desktop I upgrade the new reader.

Thank You for an answere

Thumbnails stopped working in Elements 9

I have about 5000 photos in elements 9 organizer. I recently imported a few hundred more from Iphoto on my Imac. The thumbnails for those new imports do not display. I can get the thumbnails for all of the previous 5000 photos but not for these. I have rebooted, I have cliked on each individual one and opened it and saved it, I have used time machine to go back to a prior system state and reimported them, but the same problem occurs. Any solutions?

Hi,
Have you tried signing out and signing in again ? If not then try it once. If that doesn't help then try the troubleshoot steps mentioned in following Tech note : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408660.html . Hope this helps.
Thanks
