After Successfull Installation of Photoshop Element 3.0 On Mac OS 10.6.8, Photoshop Elements does not start saying that personalization information is invalid or missing

I have installed Photoshop Elements 3.0 from original disk on my MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.8. The installation was successful. However, when I try to run Photoshop Elements, it does not start, with the message "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". I uninstalled Adobe Elements and deleted all Adobe files from both the System Library Preferences and from the User Library Preference. Then tried the installation again. The installation was successful, but the application fails to start with the same missing/invalid-personalization-information message.
Please advise

I am sorry Invalid Personalization but Photoshop Elements 3.0 requires a PowerPC processor or Rosetta installed in order to function.  You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements.
You may want to try following the steps listed at Mac OS X 10.6: If you need to install Rosetta to attempt to install Rosetta.  That may still not resolve your licensing issue however as the application was also designed for Mac OS 10.2.8 and 10.3.

  • Photoshop Elements 7 does not start (after 3 years i used it)

    Yesterday, when i opened my Photoshop Elements 7 (I use it on my PC from 3 years), after the splash screen, an alert windows says to me that there is an error and suggested to restart PC or reinstall product. The program automatically closed itself.
    I'm not able to write the exact sentence of the alert, because now PE7 does not start at all. Not even the alert with the error message.
    I always used this product in this 3 years (from this PC), without problems.
    PE7 was preinstalled and pre-registered by the constructor of PC (Sony-Vaio). So, now i have not even the registration key to reinstall PE7.
    Furthermore, I tried to open Adobe Premiere Elements 7 (also, preinstalled and pre-registered, but never used), and after splash screen the program automatically close itself.
    What can I do??!?
    Thanks you all.

    No result by disconnecting from the network. Even if I restart PC.
    But.... I SOLVED the problem!!!!!
    The problem was "FLEXnet Licensing Service"
    Thanks to last tip, that leads to another failure... I remembered that 2 days ago I tried to optimize my PC by stopping some service with MSConfig. One of the disabled services was "FLEXnet Licensing Service".
    Searching in google, now i know that "Flexnet Licensing service is used by most Adobe products to prevent piracy".
    So, some Adobe products do not start, if Flexnet Licensing service is not running.
    Thank you very much for tips, and help in general... very helpful (to investigate the nature of the problem).

  • Premiere Elements 12 does not start after error message: display driver is incompatible

    After successful installation and starting Premiere Elements the following error message appears: "Uncompatible display driver identified. Update the display driver for a better and faster playback performance!" Hopefully my translation from German is helpful enough. I confirmed with OK but unfortunately Premiere Elements does not start. I checked the display driver: it is the most actual one: AMD Radeon HD 7610M. Furthermore the hardware should be OK as well: ASUStek with an Intel Core i5-2450M CPU @2.5 GHz; 6 GB RAM; 64 Bit Windows 7 Service Pack 1. What can I do?

    Moonkeys25
    Recap...please confirm that as of this date, the problem exists with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Moving forward...
    If you issue was specific to the display card error that you have been getting then probable conclusions
    a. the ADM Radeon H7610M driver version is not up to date
    or
    b. the ADM Radeon H7610 M video card/graphics card installed as is is not compatible with Premiere Elements 12 on your Windows 7 SP1 64 bit
    The updated driver version and the BadDrivers.txt file deletion should have corrected the problem unless there is a gross mismatch between Premiere Elements 12 and ADM Radeon H7610M.
    Did you use the link that John posted to get the auto detection of the latest driver version for the ADM card?
    If we have gone as far as we can with the card and its driver version angle on this, then we can try the generalized troubleshooting drills with no guarantees, just hopes
    1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    12.0
    and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. You just need to make sure to have the computer's Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    2. If "1" has no effect on the issue...uninstall, ccleaner run through time, reinstall with antivirus and firewalls turned off.
    a. Control Panel/Program, select Adobe Premiere Elements 12, right click the entry and click on the Uninstall pop up. Then follow the instructions for the uninstall.
    b. Download and install the free ccleaner for a computer run through to get rid of leftovers from incomplete uninstalls and installs.
    https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
    When you are ready for this step, I will give you a step by step through the ccleaner (regular cleaning part and registry cleaning part).
    c. Reinstall from your installation files or installation disc, with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Please review above and then let me know if I have interpreted correctly where we are in the troubleshooting. Do not start the above plan until we are in agreement on the details and hoped for results.
    Thanks.

    Did you download the Basic/Free version?
    I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?
    What is your Warranty and Return Policy?
    You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.
    All sales are final and there are no refunds.
    Isn't this a bit harsh? Naah I actually prefer to solve problems, and if I offer refunds, people give up too easily. If I can't solve your problem after you send a few Problem Reports (see above), I'm happy to give a refund.

  • Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start

    Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start after replacement of the mainboard of the computer.

  • What can I do when  in Photoshop Elements (version 11) the organizer does not start up??

    !@@

    Yes, thanks a lot. I understand now.
    I now am able to open the old catalog again!! I tried now several times with the new shortcut.
    Thank you very much indeed for ALL YOUR EFFORT and patients with me.
    You suggest now I should click on the repair button. When I do so, the catalog will be overwritten, or I can choose not to overwrite and than the catalog will be twice as big. So I decided not to click on the repair button. When I see afterwards that some functions do not work anymore, I allways can use the repair button. As far as I can see now nothing is lost.. )
    As far as I understood it is only possible to repair with a backup. Happily I made that allways, but I am afraid to use it, for the reason above.
    When I have more time to spare, I will look for all the foto's from the apps of my cellphone and delete them.
    Now I can finish my fotowork, what I had started before, and make Photoshop Elements again the main fotoprogram on my desktop.
    Thank you again! Trees

  • Applet does not start after JRE 1.5 installation

    Hi,
    When I go to my webpage where I have an applet that requires Java 1.5..the browsers are prompting for Java installation (ActiveX component install on IE or Firefox plugin for JRE installation). But once the Java install completes the applet does not start automatically. The same code used to work nicely with Java 1.4. The applet used to automatically start and run once the JRE install completed. But with JRE 1.5 it does not start. If I do a refresh on the browser it again prompts for java installation. If I open new browser window and go to the URL the applet starts. Please let me know how to get the applet to start automatically after JRE 1.5 installation.
    Thanks,
    Vijay

    We figured out the problem. the CLASSID was not the right one. Once we changed it...its working fine.

  • ITunes does not start after Lion installation

    hi,
    after upgrading to the latest iTunes version and to Lion, I get "The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?".
    Precise:
    I upgraded iTunes to the latest version (from the previous one, I am a regular upgrader) yesterday afternoon around 15:00, then I worked several hours on my iTunes library (including some new buys). At night I then installed Lions. After starting Lions, iTunes does not start anymore.
    I have read the threads about copying old library files from the "previous iTunes Libraries" folder. But if I do that, I will loose the entire afternoon work. Anyway it I cannot understand why iTunes now believes to be older after Lion installation than before...
    Can somebody please help?

    Hi,
    after backing up, I downloaded the latest version again and it really worked.
    Strange that evidently the Lion installation did revert yesterdays upgrade from iTunes. Now it works, including all my latest changes from yesterday.
    Case solved:)

  • Photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

    photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
    Solution 5: Try with admin account or right click and select run as admin. or try directly from .exe

  • Portal does not start after RI installation

    Hi,
    we installed the EP 6 with the RI. The installation went through all steps without problems.
    At the end, when the portal should come up, the server does not start. The only message I receive in the trace log is:

    What may be the reason for this and how can we fix this in a way that the server will startup properly?

    Hi,
    the error message didn't mean anything. The only problem was that the JVM had a to high memory setting. We were running the portal in a VMWare with just 1.5 GB RAM. When we changed the amount of the heap memory size in the configtool, the portal came up.

  • Photoshop does not start unless I reboot

    I have been having this problem since yesterday. Photoshop does not start after I use the computer for a while. I opened Windows Task manager to see if any processes start at all, even though the application does not start. Two processes (1) AdobeIPCBroker and (2) Photoshop.exe process start, but photoshop application does not open , not does it show up in the applications. What may be going wrong?

    Where did you get this idea?  This is the problem.
    Follow the wiki
    Also, you realize everything you are installing and doing only remains in memory.  Why are you installing all these packages?  Are you going to repeat this installation and user creation at every reboot?
    EDIT: something else is wrong too - but until you fix the above, it will be hard to know if it is a separate cause, or an indirect effect.  /run/user/0 should not be relevant, but /run/user/1000 should be used.  I suspect your method of starting X is logging out of the 'su'ed user and is dropping back to the root login that it is under.  You'll likely need to change tty's to log in as your user - on a normal system you could log out of the root session and back in as your user - but on the iso I think autologin for root is set on tty1.  Of course you could disable this too.
