Slow Running Photoshop Elements and Quicken

Recently installed Photoshop Elements 12 on my iMac Mid 2010 model OSX 10.9.4.  Previously ran PE 9 and 11 successfully.  Organizer crashes frequently; works slowly; cannot complete download of large Nikon 14-bit RAW files (24 mp camera) without crashing.  Editor works reasonably well.  Quicken (2011 version) now slowing also.  Have run Etrecheck but unsure how to upload. 

AFAIK, Quicken '11 isn't a Mac version. Only Quicken '07 and '15 are Mac versions. Both run w/o issues on my machine.
27" i7 iMac (Mid 2011) refurb, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), ML & SL, G4 450 MP w/Leopard, 9.2.2

  • Can I run Photoshop Elements and Photoshop CS6?

    I have a Mac running 10.7.5 and have Photoshop Elements 6 and 9 installed.  I use these regularly but want to upgrade to Photoshop CS6.   Will it download/install and run alongside Elements 6 and 9?

    Yes.

  • What do i do with a very slow Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on a PC?

    I seem to be getting mixed opinions as to why my Adobe software gets so slow, despite efforts to avoid that, but my computer seems to be working just fine, it is only when in Adobe that the problems arise, like freezing, taking longer and longer periods of time to open the screen to edit a photo, or to compare two photos side by side.  Any process seems to take such a long time, and the freezing can last for several minutes, and then continue on.    I have had a computer person come to my house and examine my computer and though his knowledge of Photoshop is limited, he feels that it is NOT the computer but something with Adobe Photoshop.  I would tend to agree with him.   
    Several theories have been explained to me, such as Elements and Premiere Elements are a low end of the scale of Photoshop programs, so it is just not going to be able to process high definition large photos well and quickly.  Stating comments like i can only use 2 GB of my memory even though i have 8 GB, so unless i can use 64 bit this is what i have to deal with, and it is just a way for Photoshop to say you need to upgrade to the fancier programs.  I do not need fancier programs.  I am working hard to master these, and have accomplished 4 great blu rays in high definition thanks to recommendations from the Forum here, especially Steve with the help of his books. 
    Others say i need a solid state hard drive to solve the problem.  Others say the only way i will ever solve the problem is to switch to a MAC.  Others state is a mal-ware problem, but i have never had my hard drive so clean and uncluttered.  I supposedly have as good of PC as i could have as far as QUAD-core, 8GB memory, presently a 1 TB hard drive less than 1/2 full.   All suggestions involve big outlays of money, with no guarantee that things will be any better.  I have tried to contact different computer companies and computer 'nerds', and these are some of the suggestions, but no one really has a lot of knowledge of the Photoshop software. 
    I am thinking of adding an additional internal hard drive, but not sure that is going to help either.  Could i put all my Photoshop of the second hard drive, and might that speed things up? 
    Adobe is rather worthless in trying to get help from them.  I have spent hours on the phone waiting and then talking to someone who says they understand English but they do NOT understand the question i am asking, which becomes very frustrating with repeat phone calls.  I gave up yesterday trying to do that challenging experience yesterday after i had spent 3 times the amount of time they said i would need to wait to get a reply, and i was at work, and my free time had come to an end.  So i am hoping you guys can give me some clues of the best thing to do.
    Is it true that Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements are just such a lower end program that trying to do things in high definition, with 2000x1500 photos, making them into a blu ray disc is a major challenge with a PC?  I wish i had a greater computer knowledge, but i have struggled to achieve my goal, but the speed of it all gets very frustrating, though it is possible. 
    Another question asked which i don't think exists, is whether there is a program that could clean up Photoshop, or are there some clues that could accomplish that and thereby speed things up.
    Would appreciate any suggestions anyone has.  I am in the middle of another project so now is probably not the best time to consider any major changes.  But any comments would be appreciated.

      Premiere Elements 10 is now 64 bit, but not PSE10.
    Take a look at your scratch disk set-up and if you have a spare volume, allocate that first before the C drive. Elements use scratch disks when it gets low on RAM.

    Any article that says you can't run a program in Windows 7 that ran perfectly well in Windows XP or Windows Vista is suspect in it self and should be tossed out of your open window quickly.
    Windows 7 is not any different from XP or Vista except that security is much better and the GUI is better but is all XP and Vista behind the hood.  I am running some DOS programs in Windows 7!!! Now this must be magic!! 

  • Background Task on Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer "hangs"

    I recently upgraded my software from Elements 10 to Elements 12 and had a bit of trouble.  Apparently both 10 and 12 have a way of launching an executable in the background which tends to get "stuck" on my system.  I believe the problem may be related to the network configuration and software mix I live with, but I need to confirm my suspecions and find a way to control the problem.  Here is what I know... I have always experienced a lot of problems using Elements with my NAS device which is a 1TB usb 2.0 connected disk system attached to my Linksys  E3000 Router.  When I got the router, the BIOS software did not correctly support NTFS file systems, but subsequent updates eventually made this possible if you formatted the removable drive on a system in NTFS, you could then hang it on the router and "see" the contents, serve them via Windows Media Player, or iTunes, etc., etc. from a computer atteched to the network, or via wirless directly off the router.  I archived all my photos out on this file system and have successfully indexed it for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer, but...  When I went to install Elements 12 software I tried to install it without first removing Elements 10, and on a system which had run Elements 10 since the last full reoboot.  During the install of 12 under "shared services install" the installation process "Hung" on a background task with a name like "AdobeElementsAnalyzer.exe" which only shows up in Windows 7 task manager as a running process, not as a full program, but because the file was locked by the system, the install hung.  I eventually figured out that I needed to start the install of Elements 12 software immediately after having rebooted so that this program was not present in the background, and succeeded in completing an install of Elements 12 on my Windows 7 X64 system.  This system required a "special" software download for Premiere Elements, but not for Photoshop Elements which is only apparently avaliable under 32bit emulation mode.  I finally got the "shared components" portion of the X64 Premiere Elements to complete an install, and then set about verifying the onversion/upgrade of the indexes to my photos and video stored out on the NAS.  The same rogue task which prevented me from doing the install showed up agian, taking all the system resources away from my dual processor Intel chip and refusing to let go.   I was forced to terminate it from the task manager.  I strongly suspect that my "issues" are in part due to the extrordinary network latency imposed by the drive connection I'm using to index my photos and videos, and I'm looking for a better approach to using the editors against my master catalog of files, as well as figruing out just what I need to do to insure that all the files I have stored on the drive are accessible by the organizer when I need to pull a copy to work on.
    A complication is that I have two "legacy" Windows XP systems on my network, a reasonably fast Windows Vista Business desktop, and the Windows 7 X64 processor system which is the most powerful system I have.  The Windows file security enhancements to NTFS changed from XP, to Vista, to Windows 7, so files which get saved to the NAS disk inherit a variety of different levels of security under windows.  I have occasionally gone to one of my old XP boxes and "wiped" the security settings by resetting everything via Windows XP.  Because the NAS is so slow, this process can take several hours and must not be interrupted by attempts to do anything affecting the NAS by any of my other networked computers.  To avoid problems with my photo archive, it makes sense to me to do all my editing on copies which have been extracted from the NAS archive and stored on the C: drive (boot drive) of my Win X64 system. 
    What I seriously need to know is this:  When/If I define a "watched" portion of my file system, rather than taking the time to manually import every little change to my photo archives, can I expect the Photoshop Elements Organizer to work properly as long as everything stored on the NAS is stored via the same system which runs Elements with the same active "user" in control so that all the windows 7 file security settings putting stuff on the mapped NAS drive remain properly secured under Win 7 X64?  Frankly I don't care if the files appear "read only" to every other system and identity on my network, but I do need to be able to "see" them.  I have been able to view slide shows and movies stored on the NAS via both my networked iPad, my Apple TV, and using Samsung's funky android and Windows compatible software.  Frankly, I doubt that Microsoft or Apple has full understanding and control of the environment where there is no host "server" other than the eprom based stuff my Linksys E3000 loads to emulate early Windows Media Management architecture, but I mange to get it to work as long as I don't try anything sophisticated with the file permissions.   As a fall back, can I expect individual "imported" bits out on the NAS to remain stable if indexed and used only by the Elements Organizer running on my Win 7 X64 system?
    I am seriously considering converting an old WinXP desktop into a UNIX box which could be configured as a "Server" for everything stored on the NAS and be done with my problems in return for the power required to run the server all the time so stuff is there when I need it.  Any recommendations?

    Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7.  But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now.  This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

    Good Morning.  I'm having a problem using both my Photoshop elements and premiere programs.  I've installed the programs, redeemed my code and entered the serial numbers, and created the adobe log-in.  I am able to open up the organizer without problems, but when I try to open up the photo editor (either by trying to open up the program from the main menu, or right-clicking on a photo in the organizer to edit in elements), the program asks me to sign in to adobe (which I can do and it doesn't give an an "incorrect password" or log-in ID error) then accept the terms and conditions.  When I click to accept the terms and conditions, nothing happens and the editor fails to open.  Everytime I click on the program, I get this same "loop" of signing in and accepting T&C's, but the program fails to open.  Any advice?

  • How do I resolve a constant rainbow wheel when running Photoshop Elements 10?

    Greetings,
    After running Photoshop Elements 10 successfully for over two years, for the last couple of months I am continually getting a rainbow wheel whenever I am trying to use my PSE 10 software.  It takes forever for the wheel to resolve itself.  I even close down all other programs and only have PSE 10 running.  The performance is terrible.  I am running this program on a Macbook Pro with 4 GB RAM and more than 100 GB free disk space. 
    Here's what I have done to try and remedy this so far:
    1. Had the Apple technical team run diagnostics on my computer to detect any operating system or hardware issues.  NONE identified.  Also ran Disk Utility and performed a disk cleanup.
    2. Spent a day deleting a bunch of files to free up additional disk space.  Before: 80 GB.  After: 107 GB.
    3. Purchased (2) 4GB RAM sticks and had a certified Apple technician replace my current (2) 2GB sticks with these new ones.  Now running with 8GB RAM. 
    With all this, I am STILL getting the rainbow wheel.  Has anyone experienced this problem, or does anyone have any suggestions? 
    Should I uninstall and reinstall the software (Photoshop Elements 10 + Organizer)?  If so, will all my categorized photos, along with caption notes, file notes, and tags in the Organizer be lost with the new installation?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

  • Running Photoshop Elements from different boot volumes

    I posted this question on the Adobe message board without success. Hopefully, someone here knows the answer.
    I have my MacBook internal drive partitioned into 2 volumes, each with a different OS.
    I wish to run Photoshop Elements 6 while booted into an OS that is on a partition different from the partition that was used to install the PE application. Has anyone tried that/done that? Or, any suggestions on which library files need to be duplicated to make it work?

    Ralphjh wrote:
    I’m not sure what you mean by licensing issues. I do have a license for Photoshop Elements. The problem is that The PE application will not permit me to re-enter the license code when I launch it from a different volume such as virtually all other applications will do.
    That is what I mean by licensing issues. Mac App Store apps have their license inside the application bundle that is cryptographically signed. Such a system is much easier to live with than old-school registration systems such as what Adobe uses.
    The version of PE that I am using works just fine. It does everything that I wish to do with it and if it has any bugs, I haven’t seen any.
    I have that version of Photoshop Elements. I found it pretty flaky even on Mountain Lion. Some parts of it were discontinued almost immediately upon release. I know that its licensing is quite fragile. I once had an installer for another product that corrupted Photoshop. That wasn't really Photoshop's problem, but it is a fragile system. Here is a link to some tips for using Photoshop Elements on Mavericks: http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mavericks/
    The purpose of my post is based upon my desire to run applications from different OS’s on different partitions without re-installing them. I don’t know about applications that I don’t have but all of those that I have tried that exist on my main partition will permit me to launch them from other volumes, that is, all except Adobe Photoshop.
    I don't think that is a wise idea. Modern versions of OS X really, really want applications to live inside of /Applications. The operating system heavily caches parts of applications and you could see strange results by running applications installed to any other location.
    With older application, especially those that require an administrator password to install (like Photoshop Elements), it simply isn't your decision to make. You can only decide to install it or to uninstall it (if you are lucky). How and under what terms it decides to run is out of your control.
    I’ll take a look at your suggestion regarding Pixelmator. If did does everything that I use PE for, without a significant learning curve, I just might say goodbye to Adobe. I assume that iPhoto can use Pixelmator as an external editor and recognize the modifications made by it.
    A new version of Pixelmator is due to be released soon: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/01/23/pixelmator-31-gains-dual-gpu-16-bit-im age-support-with-apples-new-mac-pro-
    I bought Pixelmator a long time ago to try to get away from Adobe. I wasn't happy with the early versions. But they kept improving it and it kept getting rave reviews so I went ahead and tried it again after the Mac App Store version was released (i.e. I bought it twice) and I am quite happy with the latest version. I am also a big fan of iDraw. I can't even get past Adobe's recent icons. They are so bad! I'm not the only one that thinks so: http://blackpixel.com/blog/2012/02/adobe-icons-from-an-alternate-universe.html

  • Help! 2006 imac need Mountain Lion to run Photoshop elements

    Hi, getting very frustrated : (
    Have a 2006 Imac Intel; upgraded to snow leopard last year; now wanted to run Photoshop elements. Imac says NO. We needed Mountain Lion- ordered this online, computer says NO. Need more memory. So have bought and installed new memory (2gb + 1gb). Computer still says no, wont download Mountain Lion.
    I just want to use elements!!
    Any help appreciated, I'm not that computer savvy
    Thanks : D

    The new version PSE will run on OS X 10.7 Lion.
    PSE 12 runs on 10.7- 10.9
    Here are the system requirements for OS X 10.7 Lion.
    To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
    7 GB of available disk space
    2 GB of RAM
    To find out info about your system
    Click on the Apple symbol in the upper left of the OS X main menu bar. A drop down menu appears. Click About this Mac. A smaller popup window appears. This gives you basic info like what version of OS X your iMac is running, the speed of your iMac's CPU and how much RAM is installed.
    Click on the button that says More Info. A larger window appears giving you a complete overview of your iMac's hardware specs.
    Highlight all of this info and copy/paste all of this into another reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number before actually posting the reply. This will tell us everything about your iMac so we may begin to help with your iMac issues.
    If your 2006 iMac can run Lion then you can purchase a Lion install code here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    Before installing a major systems upgrade, it would be prudent to have a viable backup of your current system and important data in case something should go wrong with the installation.
    Good Luck!

  • How are the .7z files used and installed for photoshop elements and premier elements?

    How are the .7z files used and installed for photoshop elements and premier elements?

    Hi,
    You can try to extract them to a folder and then try to install using the setup file.
    Or you can try to download the .exe file ( Small File ) for the software you have and then run the .exe file and it will start the installation. Both .exe and .7z file for the application should be in same location.
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 11, 10
    Download Premiere Elements products | 11, 10
    Download Premiere Elements products | 9
    *** You can either download the .exe file from the above download links or you can also download both .exe (File 2 of 2) and .7z (File 1 of 2) from the above links.

  • Computer for Running Photoshop Elements 11
