After upgrading Photoshop Elements from V3.0 to V4.0, iTunes (5.0.1) no longer finds Photoshop. The iTunes documentation says it support PE 3.0 and higher, but apparently 4.0 breaks it. Any ideas?

While running 6.0.1, I hadn't noticed the REGEDIT suggestion, so I never tried it out. I upgraded the other day to 6.0.2 and now PE 4 shows up as an option in iTunes, but not with a list of my collections. I tried the REDEDIT patch, but that didn't make a difference, either.

OK, I found a way to solve this problem. Hopefully is
going to be fixed in a new version.
Basically the problem is that the registry location
of the catalog is different between 4.0 and 3.0.
Luckily iTunes doesn’t have any problems reading the
Catalog file for 4.0.
WARNING 1: If you have never used regedit
before, then this trick is probably not for you.
WARNING 2: Is a good idea to make a backup of
the registry before changing it.
1) Create the Key "3.0" under
HKEY LOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop Elements
2) Create the Key "Organizer" under the Key "3.0"
you created in the last step
3) Create 2 String Values under Organizer:
CurrentDatabaseName
CurrentDatabasePath
4) Enter the name of your catalog file in the first
one and the path in the second one.
Tips:
1) You can copy the values from the Key for 4.0 if
you didn’t change the default location of the
Catalog, otherwise you have to look in HKCU for the
right ones (or in Photoshop Elements)
2) If it doesn’t work, try with or without the
extension .psa for the "CurrrentDatabaseName" Value
ENJOY!

I followed your instructions and got things working. I recently installed itunes 6.02 (didn't check if this created a problem with Photoshop), and today the new updater 1/10/2006, now none of the catalog entries are showing up. Have you had a problem with either of these?
Same problem here. Looks like they added functionality for PSE 4.0 in 6.0.2.23, but neglected to include the collections part of it. Mine worked with 6.0.1 and reg fix, not no go with or without registry fix.
Anyone come up with a solution?

The synchronization with Photoshop Element 4.0 worked fine for me until I upgraded iTunes to 6.0.2....I got a very annoying "unspecified error" when synchronizing my iPod and it took me a while to figure out that the photo synchronization was causing the problem.
I tried the registry fix, but that didn't help. I can see the Photoshop Elements option in the dropdown box for iPod synchronization options, but when I select it, I get the error message. The option to select specific PSE collections is disabled. (Synchronizing with a folder works just fine).
Apple, are you going to fix this?! I now have an iPod Photo that does not synchronize photos the way I was promised!!

Anyone got a new fix for this? I'm on iTunes 6.0.2.23 and I've got the same problem as everyone else: Photoshop Elements shows up in the 'Synchronise photos from' dropdown but none of my collections are listed. I've got too many photos to sync all of them... Do Apple actually read their forums?
It's Fixed!
The new iTunes 6.0.3, posted today, restores collections functionality to Photoshope Elements 4.
