Why can't I download photos from my harddrive in PSE Organizer 8?

I've tried 3 different times to download my photos in PSE Organizer 8 from my harddrive.  Each time I tried a smaller group.  I just upgraded from Elements 4 and I was impressed with some of the features with the organizer and decided to try and use it.  I have all my photos organized in folders and sub folders.  According to the help information, I should be able to just tell it to download all my photos, including sub folders and once downloaded, I can click on folders view (can't quite remember exactly what it's called) and I will find all my photos organized the same way.  I have Windows XP.  I do have a large amount of photos.  The first try included all of them for a total of 11,644, but part of these are .pub and .doc files which cannot be download.  The last try was 8,843 photos which, again included files that cannot be downloaded.  I was really hoping to download my pictures in an already organized way.  Is this possible?  Is it that it just can't handle downloading that many at a time, or could it be some other problem?

What do you see that tells you the photos didn't import into the Organizer? Do you get an error message? Does the Organizer appear to be empty when you finish importing?
More importantly, this is not the correct process when moving from PSE4 to PSE8. You need to convert your PSE4 catalog. To do this, open PSE8 and select File->Catalog->Convert.
My advice is to forget importing existing photos into the Organizer, and convert the catalog as described above.

  • Why can't I download photos from my cellphone to iPhoto?

    When I connect the cable between my Cellphone (Vodafone) to my iMac, nothing happens. iPhoto does not recognize my Cellphone. Do I need to install Vodafone software so iPhoto recognizes my phone? I purchased a special cable from Vodafone designed to transfer images from phone to computer.
    I download pics from my Canon 20G, Sony Cybershot and Canon G6 with no problems. I love iPhoto.

    Hi Nancy,
    I may be missing something, but Vodafone is the service provider correct? What phone do you have (example: Motorola V3, Moto V3i, etc)? Does it have Bluetooth? It is much easier to put the photos on your computer first then transfer them into iPhoto.

  • Why can't I download photos from my journal when it's hosted on my own server?

    When I publish my albums to iCloud, I have an icon that appears on the very left when the image is full-screen that allows me to download the image.
    When I publich the very same album to my own server by just dropping all the files into a directory, the icon and option to download the image is gone.  Is this a limitation of putting your pictures anywhere other than iCloud?

    Why can't I download photos marked as NSMenultem into iPhoto?

    Where are these files from? That does not sound like an image file. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    from where are you downloading?
    where are you downloading to?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

    Why can't I move photos from Lightroom to Elements II for further editing?

    You can. select the image you want to edit externally then :-
    In the top toolbar Go to :- Photo, Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
    If this isn't working got to :-
    Edit, Preferences, External Editing
    .....and check that Ps Elements is set there. You are able to set two external editors.
    Good luck!

  • Why can't I email photos from my iPhone 4S?

    Why can't I email photos from my iPhone 4S? It goes through the motions, select photo, recipient, file size but nothing is received.

    Are you sending an email using a return address of, say @xxx.com" but using an outgoing server from a @yyy.com service?  If so, this is known as relaying.  Many servers now reject such emails, as this method is often used by spammers.  Depending on your email provider, you may be able to get around that by going into the settings for that email account and finding a place where you can enter a valid @yyy.com address along with a password.  (You'll have to hunt around the settings to find this, IF the account allows for that.)
    Example:  A non-icloud exchange account:  Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars - In the Accounts section, tap the account in question (e.x. yyy.com), tap the Account name, fill in the Username and password in the section that also includes "Domain    Optional"  where optional is in gray.
    Example:  For icloud, Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars - In the Accounts section, tap the icloud account, Tap (in Advanced), "Mail" then indicate emails you want to use in "Allow Sending From".
    Doing so lets you continue using a return address of @xxx.com, but the server also gets the valid address and password for its service and forwards the email as it should.

  • Why can't I copy photos from my new Sony camera to my iphone4?

    Why can't I copy photos from my new Sony point and shoot to my iphone4? It works with photos from my old camera, just not with the new one. When I sync photos to my phone, they come out black. Help!

    It's possible they aren't in the right format. See this list to verify you have the correct format. I know some Sony cameras use the ARW interface (known as RAW).
    You may want to use a photo converter like photoshop, etc. to get photos into .jpeg or other file formats.
