Why when I scan it doesn't import because file already exists, i never scanned it before?

Why when I scan anything in my Photoshop Elements 8, it tells me that nothing was imported because a file already exists.  I never scanned this photo before?? Please help!

It could be a file name duplication.  Either the scanner creates some default file name, which it may have used before or you have assigned a duplicate file name.  Try renaming and see if the Organizer imports it.

  • PSE 9 and 5 will not import - says the file already exists in the catalog !

    I've already wasted 2 days looking for answers to this. When someone buys this program, at least half of the price is paying for the database in the Organizer - yet even John Ellis himself, who seems to know more than anyone about it, has gone to Lightroom. This is bad coding!!!
    Upgraded from 5 to 9. If you read my previous posts, this took 2 days too, and phone help from a tech, because it would not install in my XP computer. It did upgrade the Organizer from 5, although many of the symbols are unusable and don't work to help me identify my tags. However, now I see that neither 5 nor 9 is able to look at a file and display thumbnails that are in it.
    I move files around a lot for my business. Any half-way good database should be able to find the missing files, and also add any new images. Say I have 10 images in file A, then add 2 more to make 12. It can't see the added images! Says can't import, the file already exists in the catalog.
    I tried: updating thumbnails, recover, repair, in both 5 and 9 - nothing works. to import the images that I can SEE in these folders! I read here  that it will not import files if the same name is somewhere else. That alone is a problem.  But I think it's more than that: even if the file used to be in another folder, folder B, it won't recognize that it's in folder A now!
    Since PSE9 uses sql db, shouldn't that be better than 5 and be able to do simple tasks like this?
    Any advice or similar experiences eagerly welcomed.

    Thank you for replying, dj paiqe.
    Do you mean the first little section that says photos may not be displaying? Yes, those just reveal hidden photos and are very basic. I did them.
    I guess we disagree about databases and what they are designed to do, or maybe I didn't explain this well.
    I did not move the images outside of the catalog: I move them to various folders, all already imported WITHIN the catalog, as I send them to various editors. (these are all drawings, not photos, and I do this professionally, so it needs to work).
    Folder A and Folder B and Folder C have already been imported into the catalog. So if I move 2 images from folder B into folder A, the Organizer is simply lost, says image already exists, and everything is totally screwed up, as the image is no longer in folder B, and it can't find it in folder A!!! The problem is, unless I memorize the image name, say Image 9, I can't tell it to reconnect, as there is no longer an image in front of me! So there are 2 images, without names, now nowhere to be found. Inefficient, to say the least.
    I've never tried Lightroom or Filemaker, but I cannot believe that they would lose data like this. I think it's the Folder coding that's not working in PSE, and I wanted this to work so badly!!!!!
    I am willing to do it the PSE way, since you now have captions, keywords, etc, and it is a very powerful database, when it works. I understand that one is supposed to move images within the Organizer, obviously. But now many images are disconnected. I could start all over importing, but is there any way to do that without losing tags and categories?

    I have tried in-installing safari but it seems not to help. I have tried installing it to a third, newly installed pc and come to the same result.
    All PCs are fully up-to-date as it regards Microsoft and Apple patches. Any ideas as to why this might happen?

  • Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?

    Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?
    Error message that it does not support cr. file

    Which version of Lightroom?
    As Hal points out, if it's pre v 4.1, you can't expect an old version of the software to know what to do with a camera that didn't even exist when the software was released.
    Given how many times a day this same issue comes up, maybe it's time Adobe changed the error message to something like "your camera is too old to be supported by this version of Lightroom. Please upgrade" or similar...

  • Import from scanner give error message "This file already exists in this catalogue"

    I can import from the scanner occasionally, but often times get this error message.  " this file already exists in this catalogue" and the scanned picture is discarded.
        I see others have had it as well, but no solutions were posted. I'm running Photoshop elements 11 with all current updates.

    Thanks for the reply. My Image wasn't in a version set however.   I scanned a new photo which was successsful. I then scanned a second photo different from the first, which failed.  I think possibly the software for my HP scanner is at fault, since it always names the scans as image1.jpg. It doesn't give an option to increment successive scans to a different name which probably caused the problem.

  • Weird CS4 error when saving eps files on a Mac: "...specified files already exist in the target location"

    Hi There,
    All 3 workstations in our studio are experiencing weird file behavior when re-saving eps files from Illustrator.
    Basically Illustrator creates a new file in addition to the original and adds a "-01.eps" onto the file name. If you re-save your original, Illustrator brings up a dialogue box that states:
    Some of the specified files already exist in the target location. The files marked below will be replaced:
    filename.eps
    filename-01.eps
    We've been deleting the "-01.eps" files each time but it's becoming tedious. The behaviour occurs when re-saving an eps file to a server or the desktop.
    All machines are new Quad-core MacPros running:
    - Leopard 10.5.8
    - Illustrator CS4 14.0.0
    We've checked for Illustrator updates from within Illustrator but we seem to be running the latest version.
    Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
    Any help or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    Thanks for the reply.
    The error occurs when we save the document but if we choose save as, "Use Artboards" seems to be unchecked so not sure if this issue is related or not. Will re-save the document using save as then see if the issue persists.
    Why do we still use eps?
    Basically because we've found it to be much more compatible. Our entire logo library is in eps format (18 years worth) partly because it was previously the only format to use and partly because it allows account managers to send logos to clients, printers, TV stations etc and not involve the studio (saving out an eps version).
    Although "Create PDF compatible file" is a good idea, we've encountered costly issues with colours and images - especially if the recipient is using old CS software, non-Adobe software or is using some kind of hardware RIP. We now just go with what we know works.
    But I do find saving eps versions of everything to be a bit painful. In fact, I've always found Illustrator in general to be a bit painful when compared with Photoshop or AfterEffects. Illustrator seems like it's been developed by a different company some times!
    Cheers, and thanks for the help.

  • Pop up saying File already exists when saving an excel file while running exe

    I have an excel file which I read and write in my application.
    When I run the application in development system, it works fine. However when I run the application as an exe and try to save the excel file, it says that 'The file already exists and Do you want to replace?'.

    Hi Princess_swa,
    The problem may be that when you build an exe, it adds another folder called 'builds' into the filepath.
    A good way to fix this is to create a case structure, putting extra strip paths into your filepath if running an exe.
    I have attached a screenshot of my code doing exactly this for you to look at. The code creates a 'base path' which is then used to reference all of my file paths in my code - and therefore, they will always have the right number of strip paths when it is run. (Note: in my code I have 2 extra strip paths, due to where I've placed the folder, but one should be sufficient.)
    Also there is a 'Check if folder exists' VI which you can again link to a case structure, and change the filename if it already exists. Again, I have provided a screenshot of my code which does this.
    Hope this helps,
    Lou

  • Files Already Exist when Reconnecting Presumably Missing Files

    I am struggling to clean-up several hundred files in my PSE organizer database.
    Whenever I run the reconnect all command (or any other command that requires reconnecting first), PSE locates a large group of presumably missing files. PSE's "Reconnect Missing Files" dialogue shows me the former location of the files. I browse to that location and find the files still there. I then select the file and press reconnect. Unfortunately, I then get an error that says "The file already exists in the catalog." This clears the missing file problem for the moment. However, when I run another missing file check, it will again find these same files. I have attempted to reconnect them several times but PSE continues to tell me that they need to be reconnected but still knows where the files are.
    I have already run a database repair (no errors were found).
    I also ran a database optimization without issue.
    Some system information:
    Win7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
    Dell XPS i7 Computer
    6gb RAM. >350gb of free hard disk space
    PSE 12....but also had the same problem on PSE 11. I upgraded hoping that the problem would be solved. It wasn't.
    Thanks for any assistance in clearing this problem for me.
    -Bruce

    I solved my own problem...although I do not know what caused it nor why Adobe's program didn't fix it for me.
    The "missing" entries that were being highlighted were all duplicate entries. Adobe won't allow for a duplicate entry to the same physical file. I deleted all the offending entries and this cleared my problem. I hope this solution helps others.

    I did that and got rid of some of the early frame errors.  i was able to export a section of clips, but then it would never export past frame 7065 no matter what clip was holding that place (at least that is what I think).  Even then it only worked with master file exports.
    I was wrong about this.  Don't use it if you are troubleshooting your problem with this thread.
    What was happening is that there was a black frame at the end of the clips that were throwing errors.  I had to check the errors on that frame.  I don't konw if they are dead frames or simply black frames, but all of them had those bad frames in the original clips themselves (and as a result in the timeline if I had inserted the WHOLE clip, or at least any subclip including that last bad frame).  The only position they were was at the end of the clip. 
    The solution was to find the offending frame in the timeline and then cut it out.  IN my case there were 5 of them.
    Note: that the title does not reflect the problem.  That problem was that it didn't like where I was saving (not specificing a directory, not sure why it was allowing me to choose the destination as my HD, and gave a less than helpful error on that). 

  • Cannot create a file when that file already exists, but should overwrite

    Hi,
    I need the same file name which is at Sender side and when it reaches to Receiver directory without timestamp.
    for eg., Sender side : Yeswanth.txt
    and also receiver side   :  Yeswanth.txt
    but, here it should overwrite the existing file (because, the sender side file name is always constant) at receiver directory when the job schedules for each time.
    Processing parameters i has given on Receiver side:
    File Construction Mode  :  Create
    put file  : Use Temporary File
    and I enabled the Adapter Specific Message Attributes at Sender side and Receiver side.
    Error getting receiver side at communication channel :

    Hi Yeswanth
    Then you can try with a "Add Counter". This will create new file each time with the same name but a counter will be added to the file name at the end specifying the number of times it is created.
    You can also the specify the format to create the counter once select this option u can correspondingly fill the Format and step fields.
    Will this be fine.

  • Cannot rename DC, "Cannot create a file when that file already exists."

    Hi,
    A long time ago we used a domain controller named jacob.mydomain.lan.  It was removed, possibly in a 'dirty' way, and now we cannot re-use that name for another domain controller.  In the meantime we have upgraded to Win 2012 domain controllers
    now, and when I enter this to rename:
    netdom computername ourdc.mydomain.lan /add:jacob.mydomain.lan
    I get the error:  "Unable to add jacob.mydomain.lan as an alternate name for the computer.  The error is:  Cannot create a file when that file already exists."
    If I enter: 
    netdom computername ourdc.mydomain.lan /remove:jacob.mydomain.lan
    I get: "The command completed successfully", but it still refuses to add jacob.mydomain.lan
    After each attempt to add a forward zone dns record 'jacob.ourdomain.lan' has been created.  I always erase this manually afterwards.
    What is the problem? How can I search to find the offending 'file' named 'jacob'?
    Thanks a lot for help on this.

  • Problem when saving files (file already exists-)

    Woking in CS5.1.
    When I save a document (as opposed to "save as"):
    I get a message "some of the specified files already exist in the target location. The files marked below will be replaced".
    The file I am working on gets saved, but creates a second version "file name-01.ai"
    Any ideas?

    Works fine here CS5 on Windows.
    When I save, it will warn me only if the file with the same name already exists and if I choose to replace it it will replace the existing file keeping the name I'm saving it with.

Maybe you are looking for
