Windows 7 and Organizer

When I open PSE 7 in Windows 7, it opens to the Welcome to Photoshop Elements window with the option to activate the Organizer, Edit, Create and Share. When I select the organizer it opens the window showing the the files loading but then it closes and puts the PSE icon in the taskbar. If I click the icon it shows the small window with the organizer but it won't open the full screen organizer. Here the kicker, it doesn't do this all the time. Some times the organizer opens to the full window and works as it should. Any ideas?????

This question might be better posted to the Photoshop Elements forum, of course.
But my guess would be that the program is still trying to build your Organizer catalog. This can take a while the first time you open the Organizer.
There may be other issues -- but it's hard to say without knowing more about your computer, how many media files are on it and if you have a previous version of the software installed on it.

Moving Photoshop Elements and Organizer to a new PC (after HDD failure)

Hi all,
My PC died recently, and suddenly. Thankfully I had a drive backing everything up so I have a complete mirror of my harddrive on an external drive. I have now bought a new PC and have installed PSE9 (with PE9 and Organizer) onto it.
I would like to be able to rebuild all my catalogs and albums, and have all my keywords etc, in my new installation, using the files I have in my back-up drive. There are thousands of photos, going back about 10 years, and it took about three solid weeks to tag them all and fix their dates etc. Can someone please tell me which files I need to copy over into my new installation, and where they should go? The drive names on my new machine will probably be different to the ones I used on my old machine, but beneath that all files are in the same folder structure as they were on my old (now dead) machine. The dead machine ran Vista, and I'm now on Win7.
Please let me know if there's any further information I need to provide.
Thanks in advance.

Where I am not clear is why a full drive backup (that includes a copy of the catalog, using a 3rd party drive backup tool) led to a situation where the catalog info could not be completely restored to a new PC.
Let's have a look at the result of the complete restoration of a drive.
- Case one : There has been a mirror copy on the second drive
- case two : you have a clone of your disk (I supose it's uptodate at the time of crash...)
In both cases:
The media files are all identical.
The catalogs are identical.
But... there is a difference.
A cloning utility is also able to restore the original drive serial number used by Windows to recognize the different drives.
In the mirrored drive, the serial number is different from the original one.
the catalog contains for each media file:
- the full path : root folder/subfolder 1/sub-subfolder... file name with extension.
- the identification of the drive (serial number plus drive letter)
When the Organizer reads the data in the catalog and wants to access a file via the operating system, it will find all files in the clone, and all files in the the mirrored version will be missing. Then you need to reconnect as mentionned in a previous post. And that's a lot of painful work
So, assuming your mirrored version is strictly ok, the catalog is fooled by the change of drive serial number. You can either have Windows to assign the old serial number or use an sqlite management software to edit that information in the database : catalog.psexxdb.
What I don't know is if the background processes in charge of the accessory jobs of the Organizer (watched folders, face recognition, autoanalysis...) will be correctly restored in a crash situation. So you might lose some information or have to wait for the Organizer to rebuild some of the missing information.
My suggestion to backup also the catalog was to avoid a situation where the user has a syncing software in charge of the media folders only. You are right that the catalog was also backed up in the case of the original poster.

PSE 8.0 Will Not Open (Including Editor and Organizer)

I have been using PSE 8.0 for three or four years now, and I have never experienced any problems with it. Today, after installed a Wacom Intuos Creative Pen Tablet, my PSE 8.0 would not open-- nor would Editor and Organizer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, renaming certain files (as read in other answers), creating shortcuts to bypass the Welcome Screen (which also will not appear), among other solutions that I read about for similar problems. Whenever I attempt to open Organizer, a crash report appears, stating that the program has quit unexpectedly--that's all it says. If I try to open PSE 8 or Editor, the circle next to my cursor appears for a moment, but soon it disappears without a single pop-up or explanation as to why the program won't open. Since I cannot access the Welcome Screen, I cannot locate the Preference file to change the name/delete it. If it matters, I use Windows 7.
Any and all help is appreciated. I'm going a bit insane without my lovely Photoshop to doodle in. ;n;
Thank you,
~ Mongoose

EDIT: I found the Preferences within the PSE folder, and I renamed it; afterwards, I tried to open PSE again. It reset the Preferences, yet it is still telling me that PSE has unexpectedly quit. /EDIT
I went into the PSE folder and attempted the "three finger salute" while clicking on Organizer, but all it brought up were the Organizer Properties.
Also, within the past hour, PSE has been randomly popping multiple times up to inform me that it unexpectedly quit, yet I have not tried to open it recently. I am not sure if that is important or not.

Editor and Organizer Black

I was almost finished with a video I have worked on for 4 days when the editor and organizer went black. The software keeps shutting down now. What do I do? By the way, the files all loaded. I just can't see them.

Somehow that does not look like Premiere Elements 11 or 12. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
If you are running Premiere Elements 10 and your computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card, then please read the Announcement at the top of this forum. If you are a Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA users, then it is mostly likely that you will need to roll back the NVIDIA card version to continue to use your Premiere Elements 10. For your convenience, a copy/paste of the Announcement
Announcement: Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
Hide Details
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

Defining Folders For Project Window And On HD

Hi, haven't seen an option in edit/preferences or forum/search or google regarding defining folders (bins) in the project-window and on the hard-disk where for example audio recordings in Premiere would be organized in ... same for movie files created within Premiere ...
is there such an option available ?

This really comes down to how a person likes to work, and the level of organization, that makes them most comfortable. There is really no right way/wrong way (within reason), but personal choices.
For the HDD folder layout, this ARTICLE goes into a bit of detail, on how I like to work - however, it is personal to me, and also takes one thing into consideration, that might not be important to you - considering migrating a Project from one computer to computer. I give up some ultimate performance, by keeping things on one HDD. If migration is not a concern, performance can be improved, by placing certain folders onto separate, physical HDD's.
For Bins, it is pretty much the same setup, for me, though the exact Bins, and number of Bins, will fluctuare, depending on my Project, and one the various Assets. I like things compartmentalized, so might have a Video Bin, with several other Bins below that. Same for Audio/Music, or for Still Images. I like to have all of one type of Asset, say Titles (from Photoshop) in one Bin, under Titles, so I can twirl closed all other Bins, but still have everything that I need, at that point in the edit, in my one open Bin. This is especially important, if I will be working on that Project (at least part of the time) on my 17" laptop, where screen real estate is extremely important.
There is no one way to do either, the HDD folder/sub-folder layout, or one's Bins. Mine is but one way, and works for me - those last two words being very important.
Good luck,
Hunt

HT1349 So everything on this page relates to Apple products. I am running a Sony laptop with Windows and as soon as I install iCloud desktop iTunes has stopped working. The only time I ever needed it. GREAT! Do you do this on purpose?

So everything on this page relates to Apple products. I am running a Sony laptop with Windows and as soon as I install iCloud desktop iTunes has stopped working. The only time I ever needed it. GREAT! Do you do this on purpose?

The latest version of iTunes tends to act up occassionaly. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and remove and reinstall iTunes. This will not affect your music library, apps or other content in iTunes. Make sure you follow the steps exactly.
Also, just copying the ringtone will not get it into your phone. iPhone ringtones have an extension of m4r, and you have to first take the Media player file and covert it to an AAC version. From there you need to change the extension from m4a to m4r. If you cannot see file extensions in Windows Explorer, which is actually the default action, go into Organize>Folder and search options, then hit the View tab, and then remove the checkmark by hide file extensions from known file types. After you have created the m4a version and changed the file extension, you can double-click on it and it should show up in the Tones folder in iTunes. From there, sync the phone and it should show up in the list of ringtones.

Want to use a Lacie External Hard Disk with Windows and Mac? Can I?...

Hi, I've just purchased a Lacie Extreme D2 external hard disk, I'm looking to use it to move film clips from my Mac G5 to my Sony Vaio laptop. I'll connect the Mac using Firewire 1 and the PC using USB 1.
I understand there is an issue with setting the compaitibility of the hard disk to either Mac or Windows format but I'm wondering if I can set it to both, so it's possible to transfer these files? The hard disk is Windows and Mac compatible but does it have to be partitioned a certain way?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Format the drive as FAT or use the Mac format (HFS Extended) and install MacDrive on the PC.

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
