Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 activation issue on MAC running Parallels Desktop for Windows 7

I have a MacBook Pro laptop running both OSX and Windows 7 (using Parallels Desktop). I installed the MAC version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 when I booted in the MAC OSX mode. I also Installed Adobe Photoshop 10 in the Windows 7 mode (running as a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop). Both programs indicate that they are activated. If I boot the computer in the Windows 7 mode (not using Parallels Desktop) and start the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 program it indicates that it is NOT activated and that I "already have two copies activated".
Question: Since I only actually have two copies activated how do I get the program activated for the Windows 7 boot operating mode?
Thanks in advance.

I cannot remove Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 from my Mac running OS X Yosemite 10.10. I receive a message asking me to quit 'Installer".

Can I disable "Installer" which is an application included in OS X?

check your activity monitor.

Transfer from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on the Mac.

I want to transfer from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on the Mac. My problem is I have lost my catalog and Windows XP. I need help.
I have installed the newest Mac version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 (PSE 12 Mac) and it seems to work fine but I have not been able to access my old (XP, PSE6) catalog file.
I am working on a MacBook Air running OSX version 10.9.2. I have been using Parallels Desktop 9 Switch-to-Mac-Edition™ to run Windows virtual machines. I had been working for over a year running Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP virtual machine. The XP operating system was updated to 2/28/14.
When I installed Windows 8, the Parallels program initially offered me a choice of virtual machines, Window XP or Windows 8. I could use the XP version to work with Photoshop Elements 6 as before and thought I could be leisurely about transferring my Photoshop operations to the Mac side.
However, without my knowingly doing anything to dispose of Windows XP, I have “lost” Windows XP. Perhaps it occurred when I updated to Windows 8.1. At any rate, now I have access only to Windows 8.1.
To compound the problem the Time Machine backup program for the Mac was not backing up the XP virtual machine files as I had thought. I have since corrected the settings but I do not have a copy of Windows XP nor of the Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog which I used in the past.
Moreover, I do not have a workable Windows XP disk; the only one I could find is from Dell and it does not load on my MacBook Air. I see Windows XP disks offered by Amazon for about $30 and have thought about buying a copy to help see if I could accomplish the transfer of the catalog file to my Mac. I would use XP only to accomplish this transfer.
I am not completely confident that reinstalling Windows XP would actually enable me to do the transfer and I can foresee potential big problems. Therefore, before taking that step I thought that I would check with you to see if there is a way to find the catalog file and perhaps to modify it so that I could work in the Mac Environment.
I have used Elements to improve and organize over a thousand travel and family photos taken with a pocket size digital camera. Being a nonprofessional, I have edited mainly by cropping and using Quick Fix but have many hours invested. Yes, I still have the originals and probably could have redone much of that work with the time I have invested in trying to find the missing XP and catalog.
I have found two large HDS files (Windows XP.hdd and Windows XP (2).hdd) that were created 7/15/12. I suspect they may be important but am not sure what they are. I read that HDS files are commonly Windows media digital rights management files, DRMs. HDS files may also be used by hierarchical data systems. Do the names suggest anything about Photoshop?
Can you help me find the catalog and transfer it for use with the Mac Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 wants to run using IE. How can I change it to Firefox?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 wants to run using IE. How do I change it to Firefox?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I installed Photoshop

Hello Donna, sorry you are having troubles. I wanted to check that you have Firefox set as your default browser on Windows? We have an article here which walks through how to do this:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+make+Firefox+the+default+browser
If you do have Firefox set as the default, it might be a registry issue which would need to be configured.
Hope this helps.
Kind wishes

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements on an older Mac...just bought Mac Mini and migrated all my files...but 4.0 Does not work....can I upgrade PSE 4.0 to PSE 13?

Yes, any version of PSE qualifies for upgrade pricing, but if you're in the US you might want to consider running the trial for now and waiting for the black friday specials, when the full version will be a lot less than the adobe upgrade price.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 will not install on my desktop computer. It does install on my laptop. Both computers are running Windows 8.1 64 bit Pro. What is the solution?

You don't need a CD to download anything; just download & install the trial from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements, then activate it with your serial number.

The editor will work, pretty much, although you can't easily update the camera raw plug-in. The organizer will not even open.

Have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and it's running very slow. I don't know what's wrong!

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and it's running very slow. Have no idea what's wrong or how to fix. Op Sys is Apple, OS X, ver 10.9.1.

If so, then see:
http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mave ricks/
For PSE 11 you want to get
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 settings
if you use organizer, also
com.adobe.Elements Organizer.11.0.plist
com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer11.plist
If you use raw, Adobe Camera Raw < version > Prefs
and any lockfiles with the same names.
Since you've already run PSE, go into the Saved Application States folder and delete any for PSE.
Repair permissions and try again.
Also go to the organizer preferences>media analysis and be sure everything there is off (except face recognitiion, if you use that).

Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on two computers running different Operating Systems

Dear Customer Support Team!
I have the following questions and hope to get your soonest response:
Can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements, I bought recently, on my two different computers; one is PC running Windows 7 and the other is iMac running Mac OS 10.6?
As my Adobe Photo Shop Elements 10 came bundled with the 'Trial version' of Adobe Premier Elements 10, can I purchase the 'Serial Number' only and how to do it?
Thank you very much indeed.
Best regards,
Steven Setiawan.

Yes, PSE is cross-platform, anyway.
As my Adobe Photo Shop Elements 10 came bundled with the 'Trial version' of Adobe Premier Elements 10, can I purchase the 'Serial Number' only and how to do it?
You just buy a normal license as a download, if you so desire. This gives you a serial and a download option, the latter of which you then of course will not need and can simply input the serial in your disc install.
