Do you have syncing set up? Has it ever worked without a problem?

Barbara,

Thank you! I'm new to imac. pls tell me how to find 'syncing'. I've previously edited no images with this soft or hard ware. I switched to apple from yrs of happy elements 6 use on a PC (xmas gift).

First, can you give me the specs on your hard drive: overall capacity and how much free space you have?

Did you install Premiere Elements as well?

4GB would be your ram, not your hard drive space (which will be something like 500GB overall).

Okay, and when you open a finder window, what does it show as "available" down at the bottom? And you didn't do anything special with where you installed PSE, did you? (like on a separate partition or anything?)

Hi Melvin,

The Editor workspace is busy message usually appears when it's in Create mode and you try to edit and image in Organizer using the Edit with Photoshop Elements option in the right click menu. In future, if you come across this message, just switch back to the Full Edit mode. You don't need to reboot

Regards,

Chhaya
