Why does PSE7 Organizer lock up?

On starting Organizer, the tree of files appears on the left and thumbnails appear on the right, as usual.
Then a small box appears in the middle of the screen with the title, Adobe Photoshop Elements – Updating.  A blue bar moves across this small box.  When it reaches 100%, everything locks up.
Windows Task Manager confirms that Organizer is not responding.
Editor is working just fine.
Using Win. XP Home.

The updater dialog usually requires a yes or no response.
Try clicking no; to go to your already imported photos.

    Why does the organizer open every time the program opens?

      It normally updates if there are new images or edits which are picked up from the watch folder. The default watch folder is My Pictures+sub-folders.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Why does the organizer no longer recognize my camera when I try to download?

    Why does Photoshop Elements Organizer no longer recognize my camera when I try to download?  Is there a new way to downolad?

    Detective" for $30.  Is this something worth investing in or should we be
    able to solve this ourselves?   My brain hurts.
    No it is not worth investing in this because it is a very expensive way of getting viruses. These detectives and those who say they can find the fault on your machine by installing their software are bunch of hackers.
    If your camera is not recognized then it suggests that either your USB is faulty or the cable linking the two is faulty.
    Can you connect anything else like a flash drive to your USB port that you are using for your camera and is it recognized?

  • Why does the Organizer not work with Elements 12 on my Mac?

    My wife has a Mac (OSX 10.6.8) and I recently bought her Elements 12. The organizer does not work on it? Is there any plan to have it work? I was told by a friend that support should be able to get it work for me.

    Hi Barbara
    Thanks for the response.
    I updated to Mavericks (10.9.3) and the organizer now appears to work.
    However, it is extremely slow in previewing photos that were already on
    the Mac and does not appear to be able to download photos from a Canon
    5DIII. It appears to start but then spins and spins. It ran overnight
    and was unresponsive this morning.
    Do you have any ideas as to what to do to make this work?
    Will

  • Why does my screen lock?

    Every so often my iPad's display will lock no matter which way I try to turn it... Is there reasoning for this and how do I fix it?!

    Does it stay that way for maybe a few seconds only and then begin to rotate normally?
    Sometimes my screen will not rotate right away and it may take a couple of seconds or I have to rotate it again, but it always comes back and rotates properly.
    One thing that I recommend is to restart your iPad every now and then. I believe it clears the memory and lets the iPad run better. It is just my opinion but if you go days without restarting, there is so much crap going on that it messes with the iOS. So I prefer to clear the memory every couple of days.

  • Why does Premiere pro locks out effect and media render when I have an active creative cloud account?

    PP was operating correctly with full effects.  Relaunched today with active cc acct confirmed and effects got locked out just like I have a trial version.  Any suggestions.  We relaunched PP several times with the same result.

    If Premiere is acting weird restart computer. Hold down shift+alt while opening Premiere until welcome screen.
    See if that will help.

  • Why does Muse CC locks up at 60% while uploading?

    I updated to Muse CC last night. I then made an additional gallery on my site and saved changes then resaved the site. I then tried to publish to my ftp host and got to 60% of Optimizing Assets and locked up.
    The error said something about insufficient memory, so I went back into the site and resized and saved all of my psd images. I reduced the size in some cases by 85%. Still no luck.
    I had renamed the file prior to this process so as to save the previous version which had been working fine until last night's episode.
    www.gktphotos.com is the existing site.
    Thanks in advance.  Glenn

    Adobelance,
    Thanks. I started resizing all of my images and manually updating them and making sure that the ASSETS were all in good order. It uploaded! Yea!
    I had resized them last night, but there must have still been a bug in what I did or didn't do.
    Take a look at the site if you'd like at www.gktphotos.com
    No need to send it to you now - I hope it stays that way. Thanks again. Glenn

  • Why does Bridge keep locking up?

    I cannot use PS Bridge CC....a window comes up saying that I must purge the cache in preferences...each time I try to purge the system locks up.  What can I do?

    It's amazing how many recent posters seem to be under the misconception that there are clairvoyants and mind readers among the forum contributors.
    Here's my one-click boilerplate reply:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

  • Why does my computer lock up when some videos start to run?

    When I load some videos the video will start for a few seconds then stop. At this point my whole computer locks up and I have to do a restart to get my mail or on the internet.
    I have right clicked on the video and disabled the acceleration function. That worked for a while but the problem has started again. When I right click the video it shows that the accelerator is NOT enabled but my computer locks up. Thanks for any help, Hosteen - Nez

  • Why does the Organizer automatically grab all images.

    I just discovered that every image I have brought into my iMac is appearing as a folder in the Organizer.  I don't regularly use the Organizer and don't want all images to appear there.
    How did this happen?
    Mary Lou

    No.  I always do a manual download of images by dragging and dropping them into a folder on my external hard drive.
    The images that I am finding in the Organizer catalog are even images that I downloaded from an email attachment!

  • Why does PSE7 close when sending an attachment or photomail?

    Running Windows XP. Have more than enough ram.
    When I attach a photo all goes well until the "New Message" window pops up, then I get a message that PSE encountered a problem and has to close.
    I have run PSE7 as an administrator and I do not experience this problem, but all my tags and photos only show when I sign on as me.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thx

    Sigh, then it's most likely not a file-permissions problem.  Some people have reported that on Vista, running PSE with Administrator credentials (via right-click, Run As Administrator) fixes crashes when sending mail.   But on XP, there should be no difference between running PSE with Administrator credentials via Run As versus running in an account that's a member of Administrators.  But you can quickly verify that: Right-click the PSE icon and select Run As, then choose Administrator as the user.
    Assuming that doesn't work, there is something else about your account that PSE chokes on.  It could be some account-specific preference or state files created by PSE (which often soils its own files), or it could be something to do with your selected mailer (which is?).   You could try uninstalling PSE, removing all traces of it manually, and then reinstalling with all background services including anti-virus disabled:
