Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.1 freezes

I have not been able to get any help at all on the following issue:  I just installed MacOS X Yosemite on my MacBook Air 2011.  After installing Yosemite I installed the Photoshop Elements 12.1 upgrade, but now when I open the program and try to use the tools, the program freezes.  How do I fix this problem?
After I go through all the list of suggested help items on your support page, at the end there is a notice posted that says:  "Still need help?  Contact us."  When I click on that link, it just takes me back to where I started.  Very frustrating!!!
There doesn't seem to be any way to get official help for my problem.  Can someone please help me with this???

I have had the same experience. I do know that there is a bluetooth issue and trackpads causing the crashing. I would like to know that if both Apple and Adobe won't fix the bug, what type of mouse do they recommend using that shares the same flexibility and abilities as the track pad but works with PSE 12. Also, I just purchased PSE 12 and don't want to buy the upgrade at full price. Will there be any discounts given to those who own 12? I know these comments are not entirely crash related but needed to include them.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 installation freeze

    I was installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 S/N that I received with my Epson Scanner, and toward the end of my installation, my computer froze  (connecting with other sites) I have Windows Vista on this computer.  If I delete and reinstall then I have used up my Installations and cannot install this on my laptop.

    Activations have nothing to do with installation. If it never went through, it never activated. In any case, activations can be reset by simply calling support. The rest is too vague. Without exact system information and crash details, nobody can even guess.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 freezes on startup

    Hi,
    I am having issues with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, When I first load the software, it asks me if I want to use the "Organize" or the "Edit". When I choose "Edit", it loads the program, but I am unable to click on any options or toolbars as it freezes for around 3 minutes (says not responding) until it eventually kicks in and loads, I am then able to use the software perfectly.
    On startup, is it trying to run updates or talk to Adobe for any reason, and can I turn this off?
    Also, has anyone had the same problem? Help would be appreciated!
    Thanks
    Ian

     
    OK let’s deal with the Editor. The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
    Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on the desktop icon for PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
    You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Wait whilst it rebuilds the preferences.
     

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Version 10.0 FREEZING~

    Hello, there. I'm having some issues with my Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, version 10.0.
    For some reason, every single time I click on "Editor", it will freeze after it gets to the FINAL screen saying "Initializing".
    I'm running Windows 7 64bit, Toshiba Sattelite
    Software came as a bundle, for Christmas, with my new Intuos Creative Pen and Touch tablet.
    I'm a graphics artist and NEED this photoshop to add watermarks and texts to the works I make.
    I've tried giving it more than an hour to load up, emptied my disc spaces, defrag'd my harddrives, cleared my settings..
    Everything listed on these forums. None of these seem to work.
    I even tried contact Adobe Customer Support.. but they said they no longer help people with support once they come out with a newer model for sale.
    (A HUGE dissapointment, mind you)
    So, I'm going to include a screenshot of the way it's behaving here, so there is NO mix up on the issue at hand.

    Any advice on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated..
    Thanks a ton~

    Freezing is very common in the last two weeks because USA itself is frozen with vortex of snow and ice.  I hear white bears are roaming streets NYC.
    In your case, assuming you are sitting in a warm room, give three finger salute AND click on the Editor icon to see if it clears the preferences file and start in default mode.  To do this:
    1) Press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT and Click on the Editor icon at the welcome screen.  the process is similar to this one at this link:  <http://forums.adobe.com/message/5983210#5983210>  except that you need to click on the Editor icon.
    Hope this helps.

    when I click on my Photoshop at the beginning  the welcome comes up and I do not Singh I click organize there are only two thing you can click on one organize and edit.
    That is the welcome screen. You don't want to use it because it will always try to contact photoshop.com.
    You are using windows, I'm guessing? Then you want to go into the program files. If you have a 64 bit version of windows it will be program files(x86) instead. Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer to find the organizer .exe file (it will be called application instead of .exe in windows 7 or 8). The editor will be in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10

    I installed version 10 and it obviously installed incorrectly.  I wanted to create a slideshow and when I click on create it attempts to load and nothing happens it just remains blank.  I have tried to uninstall the program and I can't.  It does not appear in the list under add remove programs.  I have talked to Adobe for hours and still no positive results.  I never had a problem with version 9 and now the organizer freezes and I have to log offf and on again.  I would love to be able to uninstall the program but I don't know how.  I am a senior so please try not to be too technical.  I don't know if Adobe has had many problems like this but they are not able to help me.  The launch incons are on my desktop and the program works except for the Create functions.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

  • Is anyone else having issues with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 since upgrading to Yosemite?

    this is a common issue, greatly discussed on the Adobe forums.  I was hoping that someone in the Apple community might have some information on this.  Basically, since updating my macbook pro to Yosemite, Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and 12 do not work - they freeze or several tools do not work.  someone suggested a workaround - to use a mouse instead of the trackpad.  Contact with Adobe has resulted in nothing - they will not own the problem.  Several people have contacted Apple tech support - they will also not own the problem.  Anyone have any solutions or suggestions.  Adobe's answer was to purchase their new version of PSE!!

    Looking at the Yosemite forum, it is obvious that this is a very common issue.  You might want to post in that forum for help and advice.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Activation

    After successfully uninstalling and re-installing my newly purchased adobe photoshop elements 12 and adobe premiere elements as an advise because of the problems that I encountered during my first installation a few weeks ago, now although both programs was successfully install, when I try to open first the adobe photoshop elements 12 instead of lunching it, a Window pop-up menu appears showing "Sign In Required", so I did enter my adobe ID and click the Sign In button but nothing happen. I also tried to open the adobe premiere elements 12 and it did lunch but only the Organizer part. And when I try to click on the Editor button, first that "Sign In Required" window pop-up menu appears to enter the adobe ID and then when I click  Editor button nothing also happen (freeze).

    You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
    1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
    2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
    3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”

  • Adobe photoshop elements won't download updates

    I recently installed adobe photoshop elements on my MacBook. Whenever I open the application, it automatically tries to update. I get this dialog box.
    An error occured while attempting to download a file from the adobe online web server. The request was not understood by the server HTTP #400 Bad request.
    Not only can it not download updates, it freezes my whole machine and I have to force a manual shut down by pressing on the power button for 5 seconds. In short, I can only use Photoshop Elements when I am not connected to the web.
    I've also had trouble downloading Adobe Reader for pdf documents. I have no trouble on my PC. This seems very strange since Mac and Adobe are good friends.

    Hi famo-sa,
    adobe and apple are truly good friend, but it also depend on what version of both that try to communicate each other.
    First, 400 bad request is happen more because of browser send something that other end server cannot understand, for that, you can try to disable automatic update check on element and try to find updater using other browser.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
    And maybe since the elements is not universal yet, failed to do the update make your intel mac crash.
    Try to repair permission: application folder > utilities folder > disk utility > repair permission.
    and try to download reader from here:

    Good Luck.

    Hi, kakaria. This is the user to user forum. We're not adobe, just other customers like you, so unfortunately we can't do anything about your serial number problem. You need to talk directly to Adobe about that.

  • I can't get Adobe photoshop elements 12 to launch. Error 0xc000007b

    Hello if someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I've recently installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. But I am yet to get the software to start, instead I get the following message:
    'The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.'
    I've looked on various forums but none of the suggested solutions have worked. I've also unistalled and reintalled photoshop to no avail. The computer does not freeze when I get the message.
    Does anyone have a fail safe suggestion, other than reinstalling the operating system (Windows 8)?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Try creating shortcuts direct to the applications and use them each time.
    Create shortcuts pointing to the following files:-
    Organizer: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    Editor: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Please let us know if they work.
    Good luck

  • What features from previous versions are not available in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

    What features from previous versions are not available in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?
    A handful of features from previous versions are not available in Photoshop Elements 12 due to new product support for 64-bit systems.
    Below, we list the features and the easy alternatives available to you in version 12:
    The Magic Extractor ToolAlternative: Use the Quick select tool together with the Refine Edge tool to quickly select and extract anything from your photos.
    Texture Fill
    Alternative: Use the Edit > Fill Layer option and select the "Pattern" option for Contents. You would have to pre load the pattern file with the texture you want.
    Here is a tutorial on how to create a pattern file: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/creating-custom-pattern-in-photoshop/
    Frame from video (imports a frame from video in PremiereElements)Alternative: Use the freeze-frame feature in Premiere Elements to capture a frame in video and save it as a photo
    Interactive layout mode in Photomerge PanoramaAlternative: None
    Photoshop ShowcaseAlternative: Try Adobe Revel. Elements 12 will let you view and share your Elements photos and videos across smartphones, tablets, and the web, via Adobe Revel.
