Why do photos I moved offline in PSE11 not have a preview file available?

I moved photos offline in PSE11 and now the photos all have a "missing" icon rather than an "offline" icon. If I try to use them in a slideshow it says they are missing. I know I can connect the hard drive they are on, but I used to be able to do this without connecting the hard drive. I only connect if I wanted to edit. I recently upgraded to photoshop elements 11 (prior was pse4!!)
thank you for any assistance you can offer. I can not reconnect the files, as when I connect the hard drive it says no files are misssing.

Mytaxsite says exactly the same thing as Andromeda. You say yourself that you have moved the pictures to the external drive. Once they are moved it's obvious you can't access them from the internal drive.
There are two ways to 'move' the pictures : either from the explorer, outside PSE, or from the organizer. If you move your pictures using the organizer move menu, you ask the organizer to move the pictures, which it does, but it updates the new location at the same time. You have no 'missing' files to reconnect.
If you move outside of the Organizer, the new location is not updated and the paths recorded for each file in the catalog are wrong. In that case, all your files are 'missing' and the organizer can't find and open them. You have to 'reconnect' them.
"You may not know but PSE's organizer DOES NOT COPY OR MOVE FILES from its original location. All it does is create the appropriate links to make these files available."
That's what is important. The organizer does not copy or move files on its own account, it does so if you specifically ask it to do so.
In other softwares, files are often duplicated into a location specific (often hidden and not accessible) to that software, but that's not the case with the organizer (same with Lightroom).
The organizer stores the path and many data present in your pictures files metadata, date, camera etc.
And what is important and may answer part of your original question, it creates and stores a thumbnail of your pictures to enable you to browse your catalog even if the media is offline.
If you don't see the thumbnails, it's because they have not yet been created (it takes some time to do the job in the background).
Connect your external 'offline' media, select the files with missing thumbnails, and choose 'update thumbnail' from the contextual (right click) menu. That should restore your thumbnails and make them available even when the media is offline.

On my CC drop down menu why is it only Lightroom app that does not have CC

I have historically used Lightroom as a single purchased product and recently I purchased Creative Cloud.
As a new user I am very unfamiliar with things but I noticed On my Creative Cloud drop down menu containing a list of all my apps I noticed that each of my apps conclude with CC at the end.
with other words
Photoshop CC
Bridge CC
Edge Inspect CC
Scout CC
Lightroom NOTHING ?
On my CC drop down menu why is it only Lightroom app that does not have CC at the end of Lightroom.
Has the system recognised my old Lightroom and it has not installed a CC version or is this the same for everybody out there and if so why?
Why no CC on the drop down menu after the word Lightroom?

Why no CC on the drop down menu after the word Lightroom?
Nothing to worry about. It's the same for everyone and it's normal.
Lightroom does not follow the Cloud version numbering (yet). It's always had its own version numbering.
When the Cloud was first released there was no Lightroom included.
Adobe added Lightroom to the Cloud later but never added CC to the numbering. So yet another layer of confusion was added to the versioning of Cloud software.
There are now two distinct versions of Lightroom:
Lightroom 5.6 (perpetual license, does not include Lightroom Mobile)
Lightroom 5.6 (Cloud which includes Lightroom Mobile)

I cannot move photos to current folders "I do not have permission to move photos" why, how do i fix this

My son just installed adobe photoshop elements 12 on my mac computer. Every time I try to move a photo to a folder it says "you do not have permission to move this photo" .
Why and how do I fix it? I am not computer savvy and my son does not know why this is happening. HELP

Since folder permissions are an operating system issue not photoshop, you will need to specify which operating system you have, so you get the correct information and person that knows about that operating system.

Why does an error message say, you do not have the privilege to maje changes?

I tried to add a movie ti iTunes and a message came up saying I do not have the privilege to make changes. How do I get the privilege to make changes?

Solution:
Open Disk Utility.
Select your external hard disk and run a “verify” on it. After a few minutes (depending on the size of your drive), you should be good to go. You don’t need to run a “repair” on it... (at least I didn’t have to). See photo for reference.
This should fix the permissions issue, because on my Mac running Mountain Lion I was unable to edit the permissions in the get info dialog window even after "unlocking" the drive.

Why are photo attachments received on my ipad not looking correct?

Often when I receive a photo attachment in an email the photos have lines across them and different colors of hazy film or shading or bars in them. When I open the same email and photo attachment on my iMac or a desktop computer the photos are fine. This is quite annoying. Thanks.

Yes, saved photos go to Camera Roll.

PSE11 not recognising D600 NEF files?

I used to have a Nikon D600. When I first got it I didn't upgrade from PSE9 and consequently I processed quite a number of files in ViewNX 2.
On revisiting those files now that I have PSE11 (which works well with D800 files) PSE11 doesn't seem to recognise and when I go into the Editor and try to open one from there I get the following message:
I had thought that PSE11 would work with the D600 NEF files - is this not the case?

Hi,
Try updating your pse 11 camera raw to 7.4:

Why is it that Apple Iphone 4 does not have any animated wallpapers?

I love my iphone 4 but would really love to have animated wallpaper!

It's not a feature of the iPhone. No one but Apple knows why they do things but in this case, I'm guessing it's not there because it offers no user benefits and will only use unnecessary resources. IMO, it's just a gimmick that gets old very quickly. If you really want to modify your smartphone, get an Android, not an iPhone.

I created an Imovie on Ipad. Before exporting the Imovie, I deleted the video clips from camera roll. Error message "this proj. contains clips which have been deleted from your photo library." Help! Can I recover the "preview" file of my video in Imovie?

Is there an app out there to find the files within Imovie app on my Ipad where the Imovie "preview" is playing from?
I deleted the original vidoe clips from my Camera Roll before exporting the Imovie to Youtube because my camera roll was out of memory.
I'm using the latest Imovie app for Ipad.
Cheers

Why certain functionality works in Adobe Acrobat, but not in LiveCycle Preview PDF?

I have some simple logic in a LiveCycle form that will hide a subform when I click a checkbox. When I save as dynamic PDF and open in Adobe Acrobat 9, it works fine, but when I test the .xdp in LiveCycle Preview PDF it does not. I'm new to JavaScript and have wasted some time troubleshooting what I thought was a problem, only to find out it was working. Am I doing something that is not capatible with Preview PDF?
Attached below are images of hierarchy, design, and code. I realize the hierarchy is more complex than it needs to be. It is an excerpt I built to test this functionality, based on the full document.
Thanks.
form1.diag.Cervical.show::click - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == 1) {narrative.Cervical.mre.presence = "visible"} else {narrative.Cervical.mre.presence = "hidden"}
form1.narrative.Cervical.mre::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
this.presence = "hidden";

Did you made the form as Dynamic and Interactive in the preview..
     1) Goto File menu -> Form Properties and select Defaults tab. Change the Default Render Format as Dynamic XML form
     2) Select the Preview Tab. Set the Preview type as "Interactive Form" and Preview Adobe XML form as Dynamic XML form
     3) Finally while saving the PDF select Save As Type as "Adobe Dynamic XML Form".
Thanks

Why does PP CS5 not keep my preview files on my Mac?

I love Premiere Pro on my Mac because it interfaces so well with AE. However, every time I render something in my DSLR timeline, shutdown Premiere, then open it later, I have to re-render again.
I am not a novice and I know what I am doing, but I've tried everything and it won't keep my render files.
I want to switch away from Final Cut because I can edit DSLR natively in Premiere, but Final Cut seems to work better.
I am using dual 2.93 ghz quad core Xeon processors, 16gb ram. Internal 4tb raid, 3 external 4tb GRaid firewire drives for video storage. These 3 drives are always attached to my system and are always on when editing. The render files are always there and not on another portable drive somewhere.
I can render my timeline in PPro, then close the program. Open the program back up in a minute and have to re-render.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

Why does Verizon not have "chat" help always available?

On numerous occasions I've needed to chat with someone online with Verizon, thinking I was going to "chat" and get some help they are closed in the evenings. I live on the Pacific Coast it's 9:30 pm, chat is not available??? Come on Verizon!
I also have a question with regards to anyone who has a single line.a single. I have 2gb data,
unlimited messaging with $10.00 for insurance each month, with a discount of 20.00 each moth because of where I work, my bill is $100.00 with it being sometimes a bit more? It seems absurd to me to have such a large bill for 1 phone with a single line. I also never go ever my data or anything else.
Can someone please tell me if they are in a similar situation and if they have a bill that is also that high?
Thanks much
Lisa

@lisakylee61,
Look no further help is here! I apologize you have not been able to reach a Chat representative. The Chat option is only available when a representative is available to take a Chat. But no worries because I can help here.

Why do the YouTube videos on my site not have sound?

I guess Youtube changed their embed code or something? But the videos I embedded on my site have no sound at all. Am I missing something here?
here's an example:
http://baby-recipes.com/butternut-squash-baby-food-recipe/

I have exactly the same problem, I only bought my ipod when 1.0.2 was the current version, my guess is that somehow the software that the ipod uses to play sound files is only suitable for those listening to Celine Dion. By that I mean, even with the EQ off the bass sometimes peaks, and guitar riffs cause a sort of crackling noise, and if you're listening to something where the bass guitar plays a heavy role in the song, Korn for example, you get the occasional speaker pop while it's playing. I've also found the same crackling happens during powerful vocal lines too. On Wikipedia it says to reduce the volume of the mp3 in itunes before synching it to your ipod, I haven't yet tried it myself though.

Why does it say my Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect?

When I enter my Apple ID and password I get the error message "Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect." Not sure what is wrong?

iTunes and iTunes Connect are VERY different. iTunes is the music/movies/syncing/everything else application. iTunes Connect on the other hand is for developer who make applications for the Mac and iOS App Stores. If you want to listen to/buy music etc., get iTunes NOT iTunes Connect.
