Why am I suddenly unable to see effects, layer styles, etc. in PSE 9?

Today I suddenly can't see any effects, layer styles, or photo efects in my PSE 9. I installed Pioneer Woman actions the other day and they had me do something with the mediadatabase. I don't know if that caused the problem, but I need to get all those back.

You need to quit the editor, delete the mediadatabase.db3 file again (don't rename, delete), and then relaunch the editor but don't do anything till you see the panels repopulate.

  • Unable to see effect changes in program monitor

    Hi Guys,
    I have tried applying an effect (3 way color corrector) onto a clip. When clicking on the white balance dopper and then onto the frame in the program view, the colour of the white balance changes to that colour, but the clip itself in the program view is unchanged. I cant see the adjustment. Am I missing something simple such as a setting or is there a bug?
    Thanks for any advice.
    James

    I said colour; e.g. red.
    The white balance is for the highlights , maybe there are few highlights in your picture. Slide the upper slides of the tonal range definition to the left and see what happens. The highlights should turn blueish

  • Why am i suddenly unable to send/recieve email on LG Spectrum?

    I've had LG Spectrum for about a month.  All going well.  As of last night, can't send/recieve email. 

    Maybe you can help me out also. My brother has got the LG Spectrum and we cannot figure out a fix. Here's the steps we're trying to do to compose an email with Gmail and attach a photo file.
    Open Gmail app, get the inbox.
    Tap compose and get a compose email screen.
    Add a contact to send to.
    Tap the attach selection.
    Select Gallery. (Selecting Pictures only gives him pics which were transferred from his older phone by the Verizon rep.)
    Select a pic from the Gallery, but it opens the pic full screen.
    Tap the pic and it give the options to Delete, Share or More.
    This is where we are stumped. Why would it not just attach the pic when he tapped on it to select it and then take him back to the compose screen where he can send the email? It appears that the other generic 'Mail' program is taking over somehow. I could not find any way to set the Gmail app association on his 2.3.6 software version phone. He has no App Association selection available like I do with my HTC One phone.
    Any ideas?

  • Why is Thunderbird suddenly unable to connect to the mail server?

    Hi,
    I've been using Thunderbird with Linux Mint 16 x64 for several months without any problem. Today, I've received a message stating "Could not connect to mail server [email protected]; the connection was refused".
    My ISP has web mail access which I can log into. The settings have not changed.
    The firewall on my system is not enabled.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong?
    Thanks.

    I had checked that I could log into the web mail but didn't think to check that. It has started working again so I'm sure it was VM's servers.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Please Help! Suddenly unable to open Mail, Address Book etc

    This morning when I woke up my IBook my Mail was still open from yesterday. When I tried to open ICal it kept crashing. So I restarted and then suddenly ITunes, Mail, Address Book and ICal would not open at all!! (However, it seems that iPhoto, Appleworks, Safari etc is fine).
    I do have a IPhone, but haven't synced in a week or so. Not sure that that would be relevant at all.
    The other weird thing that has happened, is that all the info on the top right hand corner of my menu bar (my airport, date, weather snitch, spotlight etc) disappeared a few weeks ago. It has been blank there ever since. When I just did a check of those applications ( internet connect, weather snitch) they also didn't open now.
    Thanks in advance for any advice at all...
    BTW, I just ran verify disk, and it stopped with this error message:
    " the underlying task reported failure on exit" - The volume needs to be repaired.
    Really hoping that someone can help me with this!

    Hi ALSVLA, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!

  • Can't See New Layer Styles In PS Elements V. 6 For Mac

    Can someone tell me why I cannot see new styles after I have installed them in PS Elements V6 for Mac. I have used Elements 4 for Mac for about a year, and I've just recently bought the new version. The book says you install them the same way in V. 6 as I did in V4. But they do not show up in the drop down list.  I use styles a lot in V. 4. Thank you.

    I did just as you said -- deleted both the mediaDatabase.db3 and the thumbdatabase.db3 -- they were not in folders other than 6.0 folder. I'm not sure what you meant by "repair permissions", but it did run through rebuilding itself after I restarted PSE.
    Do you think it might help if I created XML files? I read something about them in the manual, but it sounded so difficult, I was afraid to try it. 
    I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

  • I am unable to see text after clicking on a pdf download.I just get a mid grey screen .I can send the pdf to my blackberry and see it -so the file is ok .I recently was at an official site that gave me an Adobe down load /update .Help please .

    Why am I suddenly unable to see pdf (on iMac) when I click on them ?There is is just a mid grey blank screen .I have sent pdf to my Blackb and I can read it there ,so the file is OK .I recently tried to down load a recent version of Adobe reader from a government site -could this be the cause?If so ,how do I uninstall it ?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • IPhoto is suddenly unable to import from card

    IPhoto was giving me error messages every time it read photos from my camera’s memory card. The message was that one photo (and only one photo) had an “invalid header” or some such.
    So I used my camera to do a “low-level format” of the card, which you are supposed to do periodically anyway. IPhoto didn’t seem to like this, and now when I insert the card into the reader, iPhoto launches but does not offer to import the new photos into iPhoto.
    However, I can see and view the photos perfectly fine in the finder, I can copy them to a finder folder, and I can open them perfectly fine with graphicconverter, so I do not understand why iPhoto is suddenly unable to import them.

    Once copied to the hard disk, can you then import them to iPhoto from there?

  • Mobile Sales- The manger is unable to see activities in the calender view

    Hi,
    I have a Manager when he clicks on the calender option he is unable to see all the activities scheduled for a particular employee in his calender viwe whereas if i check that particular employee's calender he has all the details of the activities.
    Why is the manager  unable to see all the activites in his view.
    I have chekced for the Activities (by employee)subscription for teh Manager's site, that exists.
    If anyone has an idea please reply ASAP. Thank you.
    Best regards,
    Sanyogita

    Hi,
    the calendar functionality is not based on subscriptions but on the assigned employees for an activity.
    In other words a team hierarchy based (only) on subscriptions is not reflected in MSA.
    Therefore activities are only displayed in the calendar TS if the current user is assigned as responsible.
    If you really want to see all activities of all employees in the manager's calendar then these employees need to maintain this manager as (additional) responsible person for their activities.
    Regards,
    Wolfhard

  • Unable to see the application in BPM Workspace for Sales Quote tutorial

    I have created the Sales Quote tutorial steps and deployed the process. The Enter Quote Details user task is in the "SalesRep" role and I have assigned a user from WebLogic user store to "SalesRep" role in the BPM Organization artifact.
    In order to kick off the process, I logged-in to BPM workspace with the user I have assigned as "SalesRep" role but don't find the Sales Quote application under the "Applications" tab.
    I am using 11g PS4(11.1.1.5) and didn't seed the demo users, instead just created the user using WLS console.
    Any thoughts why the user is unable to see the application in BPM Workspace?
    Thanks,
    Satya

    Check two things:
    1. Login to Workspace as weblogic and click the Administration link at the top to verify the role is actually set to a user (just to double check this).
    2. Login to EM, click the SalesQuote composite, scroll down and click the EnterQuote human task component, and click the Administration tab.
    This shows you if there is a task form URI associated with this human task. If not, the initiate link won't show up in the Applications menu in Workspace.
    If not, you can either deploy again from JDeveloper, making sure you have selected the task forms in the deploy wizard and making sure the deployment is successful in the Deployments log window.
    Heidi.

  • Install layer styles in effects in pse 8

    unable to install some layer styles in effects-please advise how I can complete installations.

    Well, I don't know where windows explorer comes in, but you want to take the .asl files (you must unzip them if they're in a zip file), and put them into C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photosho Elements\8.0\Photo Creations\layer styles. Then you will need to delete the file MediaDatabase.db3, which is in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photosho Elements\8.0\locale\en_US. When you next start PSE give it time to rebuild this file before you do anything (when you see the icons reappear in the effects panel, it's done).

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Effects Toolbar layer styles

    I was wondering if anyone knew why in my effects area my layer sytles have disappeared. I have the other three: filters, photo effects, and all. But even under all I am not able to see the layer styles. I can go to the top of my screen and under layer --> layer style --> layer settings still to add drop shadows, bevels etc. but not use the quick toolbar. HELP!!!

    Note: You  need to delete not rename the mediadatabase.db3 file in  E8. Barbara has told me another post somewhere that renaming it doesn't  work in E8. Be patient as it takes about 5-10 minutes to rebuild the  effects palette.  I believe, I recall someone saying that you should  just let E8 sit and rebuild.
    In E8 need to delete the mediadatabase.db3 file  not just rename it. It might take about 10 minutes to rebuild.
    If on a Mac,  the route is a little different but same method, see Barbara's post #2:
