Moved back catalog of photos from an almost full internal hard drive to a new larger external hard drive. Elements Organizer is now unable to locate tagged photos on the new hard drive. Is it possible to re-connect the photo tagging?

Lightroom :: Moved Files To New Hard Drive Where Is Catalogue?

Apr 1, 2012

I outgrew  my old harddrives and so moved them via Macs DiskUtility.  Of course, LR 4 doesn't know where they are.  I thought it would be a matter of pointing the old catalogue to the new hard drive, but that does not appear to be the case.  Do I need to start from scratch and build a brand new catalogue?

Photoshop Elements :: Reconnect Organizer To Photo Files?

Jul 12, 2013

After wiping my hard drive, re-installing all the programs & files, Elements Organizer does not have any of the catalogs or data I have input on thousands of pictures.  There must be a file with all the data to reconnect the photos to the data in Elements9.

Photoshop Elements :: ALL Photo Files Missing And Will Not Reconnect

Apr 20, 2013

PSE 10 Organizer on MAC OS LION 10.7.5 - Suddenly yesterday ALL of my photos are "missing" according to Organizer. I can view all of the thumbnails, but there are yellow question marks in the upper left of each thumbnail. Click on the thumbnail and it starts searching for the missing file. I have multiple catalogs, and the same problem is showing up with them as well.  Using reconnect results in a message indicating the file already exists in the catalog. The physical photo files are on the hard drive, and are viewable using the File Finder and Preview.

Properties points to the correct folder on the hard drive. Nothing has moved. I tried "fixing" and "optimizing" the catalogs, but it says no problems found and nothing changes. I tried adding new photos to the catalog using FILE>GETPHOTOS FROM> FILES OR FOLDERS. The files were added to the existing catalog, but upon viewing the new thumbnails, Organizer says they are missing also. I ran another test where I created a new catalog and added some of the same photos that are already in the other "non working" catalogs. The new catalog seems to be working fine. I have 10's of thousands of photos, all categorized the way I want them.

Photoshop Elements :: Accessing Catalogs And Files From External Hard Drive

Jan 31, 2013

I have successfully carried out a trial back up of an Elements 6 2000 picture catalog from an XP based PC, using the Elements 6 full back-up process. This process is intended to be used eventually to transfer this and other catalogs onto a new Windows 8 PC installed with Elements 11.
 
However, in the interim I would also like to be able to access the picture files and the catalog data on the ehd from a Vista based laptop which also has Elements 6 installed. How to do this without carrying out a full restore process that would load all of the files onto my laptop's hard drive.
 
In transferring the picture files to the end I also seem to have lost the original file structure that was on my PC, as folders have been renamed numerically and are all held individually in the main folder of the end. Whilst this doesn't matter too much whilst the files remain on the end, provided the catalog still know

Photoshop Elements :: Set Catalogue To New Larger Internal Hard Drive And Then Delete Files From Smaller?

Mar 19, 2014

I have just had a new 1TB internal hard drive installed in my PC and then the original smaller internal 500GB hard drive cloned onto it. The new 1TB is now Local Dick C and the smaller 500GB has been changed from C and is now Local Disk F. PSE11 is running from the new C and all my pictures are on both C and F but the catalogue is pointing to F. I want to delete all of the old files on F to free up space since they are all cloned to the new 1TB C, so I want the PSE11 catalogue to point only to the pictures on C. I have tried creating a new Catalogue and importing my pictures from C. The images come in and look connected to C but, when I close PSE11 and then reopen that new catalogue, the image path reads F, as does the original catalogue. So, now I have two catalogues apparently point to F but I want to: 1) have only one catalogue pointing to C; 2) the delete catalogues pointing to F; 3) then reformat F: so I have a clean 500GB old hard drive for future expansion.

Lightroom :: Export Preview Photo From Damaged Hard Drive?

Mar 15, 2013

A drive I kept my photos on corrupted and some of my folders of photos went missing.
 
I have a reasonable sized preview, I can go in and look at the image, the only difference is I can't zoom in to 1:1.  I want to export the preview image from lightroom, its still better than losing the whole image.
 
Is there anyway to do that?  the usual export throws a missing file alert.

Photoshop Elements :: 9 Organizer Crashes - Can't Reconnect Files

Oct 22, 2013

I have thousands of carefully organized images in my organizer. I moved the files (no I didn't do this with the software as I didn't know that was an option . . i've moved files countless times in the past with no issue).  With this move, my catalog is frozen.  I can reconnect many of the files.  But on random files, the catalog freezes and will not reconnect.  I have to restart and try again (which generally does not work).  I tried moving the photos back and starting over, but that has not solved the problem. The catalog and software is now largely useless

Photoshop :: Certain Files Take Up To 40GB Scratch-disc On Hard Drive

Nov 15, 2013

No one of the used files are bigger than 20MB in file size. When opening the file, my empty hard drive space (40GB of free space) decreases to ZERO. Which temporary file on earth can be 40GB big? My system is an i Mac with 24GB RAM. How can this happen?
 
EDIT: I just found out this might be the so called scratch-disc. But anyway, how can a file take up this much space? Photoshop has a allocated RAM space of 16GB on my system.

Photoshop :: Can't Import Photos From Hard Drive To Elements 5

Apr 10, 2011

This is a problem that has gotten progressively worse recently. I can still download photos from my camera to the hard drive using Elements 5, but I can no longer import more than about 5 photos at a time from the hard drive to the Organizer. My computer is a Dell 8300 purchased in 2004, with a Pentium 4 processor, 500 GB hard drive, 4 GB RAM,Windows XP, and Norton AntiVirus. I have about 265 GB of photos on a 350 GB partition (G: drive) of the hard drive. The other partition (C: drive) has about 50 GB of free space.

I've tried many fixes, including using CCleaner and Microsoft Disk Cleaner to remove unnecessary files and fix Registry problems; turning off and repowering the entire system; using Nikon Transfer to download the photos, instead of Photoshop; using Startup Inspector to remove unnecessary startup programs, as well as turning off all other software.

I get two different messages, at different times, from Elements when the process freezes:

1. "The ODBC data source reported the following error: "Microsoft] [ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid argument."

2. "The ODBC data source reported the following error: [Microsoft] [ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." (I'm not on a network.)

I also sometimes get another message from Norton: "High CPU usage by AOL", even when AOL is shut down.

Photoshop Elements :: Reorganizing Pictures On The Hard Drive?

Aug 3, 2013

The "pictures" section of my hard drive is a total mess!  I am not sure why.  None of my pictures are in folders.  I would like to put them in some kind of organization.  I am trying to get rid of pictures that I do not want to clear room on my hard drive.  I deleted over 200 pictures in elements and happened to notice THAT I DID NOT CHECK THE SMALL BOX WITH THE SMALL LETTERS THAT SAYS" do you want to remove the picture from the hard drive?  ugg.  So all the work in vain.  So I thought while I was going through the pictures on the hard drive I could at least organize them somewhat so they are at least in folders with say years or vacations etc.  If I do this will elements be able to find the pictures and reconnect if I move them and  they are in folders?
 
I would also really like to know if there is an easy way to find the pictures on the hard drive that I have deleted in elements so I can delete them also.
