I am having problems with my Elements 12 program "freezing". I am not sure if it is an incompatibility with my operating system or my inexperience.

It has frozen once or twice during the uploading process. My bigger concern is when I am trying to follow tutorials and the program seems to freeze and does not execute the task. This has happened several times when I attempt to use the brushes or other tools. I am using a Mac Trackpad. I don't know if the problem is originating in this step, possibly, I am not using the trackpad correctly or if another problem exists. For instance, when I attempt to the brushes I get a "star" to paint my picture vs the round circle that the tutorials are showing.
I am using an older Mac computer; however, we did update the software prior to installing the Adobe Elements program.
Any guidance would be appreciated. I am also wondering if there are any Adobe Photoshop tutors available.

Are you using PREMIERE Elements for video editing, or PHOTOSHOP Elements for photo editing?

    What is the size of your hard disk?  PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine.  Just a thought here.

    having problems converting pdf to word. I'm not able to convert the file, what do I need to do?

    Hi prates77,
    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble converting files. Are you receiving the conversion error regardless of the file that you try to convert? Does the error occur whether you use the web interface, or convert via Reader? And an odd question: how many files do you have stored in your Acrobat.com account? We have seen reports of this error when there are a large number of files stored in the root folder of your Acrobat.com account.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • HT6058 I have updated my I pad dut I'm still having problems my iPad seems to freeze and when I go to put in my pin it take a few seconds before the numbers go in and my games stop and start and stop and start for a bit before they run properly

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • Hello, I am having issues open very large files I created, one being 1,241,776 KB. I have PS 12.1 with 64 bit version. I am not sure if they issues I am having is because of the PS version I have, and whether or not I have to upgrade?

    I think more likely, it's a memory / scratch disk issue.  1.25 gigabytes is a very big image file!!

    Book your Apple appointment now, in the mean time you can try a SMC reset.

  • My Macbook air flash had gone for a month and I saw Apple's Macbook air flash storage drive replacement program. I'm not sure whether that program is still available for the broken device or not. Now, I'm booting from the external hard drive. Thank you.

    My Macbook air flash had gone for a month and I saw Apple's Macbook air flash storage drive replacement program. I'm not sure whether that program is still available for the broken device or not. Now, I'm booting from the external hard drive. Warranty has gone in October 2013..
    I want to send back my macbook air back to apple store. The problem is that I bought it from US and now, I'm using it in Myanmar. If the program is free of charge for my device, it's worth trying to send back to US. Since mine is broken, I'm afraid Apple will take charges for reparing.
    So, if anyone having the same problem as me, I would like to get suggestion....
    Thank you!!

    I have no idea about how to handle the international aspect of your question.
    But here is the Apple writeup about the problem and the remedy.  Maybe that will help you.

  • My 5th generation iPod (bought in April of 2013) will quit unexpectedly. It will take for ever to load what I write while texting. It also just goes to the black screen with the Apple logo. I'm not sure what to do.

    My 5th generation iPod (bought in April of 2013) will quit unexpectedly. I can't do app store apps (like snapchat or facebook, ect.) or apple apps (like Camera, Safari, ect.)It will take for ever to load what I write while texting. It also just goes to the black screen with the Apple logo. I'm not sure what to do.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    If no joy...
    Reset all settings
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
    If the issue persists...
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

  • Problems with Photoshop Elements 11 freezing up

    I recently upgraded from Elements 9 to Elements 11. Now when I work in the Organizer or Editor the program frequently freezes up and then displays the message "program not responding". If I wait long enough - several minutes - it begins to run again. I never had this problem with Elements 9

    My primary disk when i open elements 11 for all the time working, mouse cursor lagging and swaping. All my operation on Photoshop Elements is not instantly.
    I install yesterday fresh Windows 7 with all updates of corse. Problem persist.

  • I'm having problems creating a simple program for an introduction to programming class.

    I'm not exactly sure where this question should go so please excuse me if this is in the wrong place. At this point in the class we are learning about if/else statements. The text provided was written by a collaboration of the teachers. In the course material
    for the if/else part they show us examples using numbers. Then the course also shows us a video to help us better understand (it doesn't. I'm not the only student having problems on the online course.) by giving us an example using bool to show if a statement
    is true. Now our actual assignment is what is confusing me and other students. The assignment is to create a program that asks a question such as "Is this class hard?" and it should have three different responses depending on what you type in. If
    you type "yes" it would respond "Oh no! I'm sorry you're having problems!" if you type "no" it would respond "Glad to hear!" if you type something random it would say "I'm sorry. I didn't understand. Please respond
    with either "yes" or "no"." I'm not exactly sure how we were supposed to know how to do that from the course material provided and it's stressing me and other students out. Any and all help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure your folder having administration rights.
    some folders property is read only... so check by right clicking on the folder and the properties.
    This may help.

  • Is anyone else having problems using the Elements 9 Organizer?

    I have upgraded from Elements 6 to Elements 9 and am finding glitches in the organizer and some of its functions. For example, to share my images online through Photoshop Showcase, I need to unstack them before making an album. If I do not unstack, all the images in the stack, regardless of how I select them, are included in the album. I stack my worked and edited images together with the original photo. When I use the display in 'import batch' view, I get several copies of my images in each import date of those that are also included in my stack, very frustrating. Often the stacks just keep on multiplying in the display using this sort of view. When I delete an image from a stack, the display jumps to another time and date and image on my organiser and I need to note and remember where I was working so that I can get back to the right spot again. I am less than happy with this and other obvious bugs in this version.

    Hello,
    I too encountered difficulties with Stacks.  The advantages were few, the disadvantages many, so I unstacked everything and have never never used it again.

  • When composing a new message with Thunderbird, the program freezes & says "not responding"

    Recently, I needed to reset my 'Main work Computer' to factory default. Before I wiped everything I saved all the messages addresses etc via Mozback, I then transferred all the info to the laptop to see if it works, which it does.
    After this I re-installed Thunderbird to my recently reset computer, I used Mozback up to restore all the information as set like it was previously.
    It was working great for about a day then only recently I came across this problem:
    Thunderbird still receives mail & I can read it, however when I try 'compose new message', 'reply' or 'forward' a message the new box will open up ready to type into except it freezes & it says not responding.
    I have it on my laptop & its working fine for now but I'm wanting it to work on the Main Computer!!
    What should I do??

    I've figured it out!!! Because I had only just reset the computer to factory default, I decided to reset it again & follow my steps to see what may of happened.
    I installed all programs including Thunderbird & it was all working fine...
    Until I decided to load a whole heap of fonts into the System. This is where something went wrong with Thunderbird & would freeze when composing a message. So I deleted the fonts I had just installed & it worked again... Now I only load fonts one at a time when I need to. (I am a sign designer, we need fonts!!)

  • Can I use current Firefox 3.6.3 with Windows 7 (64 bit)? If not can Firefix be used at all with this operating platform?

    Windows had event logs indicating "Shutdown Degredation" saying it took to long for the program to stop.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Since download and first use

    Firefox should work fine on Windows 7 64bit systems. Are you having problems, or just wondering?
