Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 will not open. Mac

It bounces on Dock for a bit. It was working. Mac 10.9

I asked you to try that because one thing that often happens is that the dock icon gets corrupted, and it's best to get the simple obvious problems out of the way first.
What do you mean by "several students"? Is this in a classroom situation? Are these computers all on a school intranet together? We tend to assume here that you are talking about a personal version and a problem with your own computer, not an institutional installation, unless you specify otherwise.
If this is your personal computer, the next thing to do is to delete the prefernces. Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
Adobe Photoshop Elemetns 12 paths
and any lockfiles with the same names. To see the user library in 10.9, option click the Go menu in the Finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in the library, go to the saved application states folder and delete anything in there for PSE.
Repair permissions and try again.

Adobe Photoshop Elements will not come up from the welcome screen

When I am in the welcome screen and press the organizer or edit button the program will not load and come up.

Can you try lanching them direcrlty :
Mac - Navigate to 'Go->Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11->Support Files->Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor'. Double click 'Photoshop Elements Editor'.
Win -
Win x64: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11 Win x32: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11
Right click on 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe' and select 'Run as Admin'.
If still an issue try this for Editor:
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.
make sure the exe is not stucked in task manager by going in task manager and check for PhotoshopELementsEditor.exe file. Stop the process and try.
Thanks,
Garry

Photoshop elements will not open

My photoshop elements 10 and my phoposhop CS3 will not open at all they go to a black screen.Three days ago it opened. before that it had not opened for several days. Before the problem with it not opening, it would not load photos to edit them. I have tryed to look at the compatability, etc.
I am afraid to delete and reinstall. When I look in my photos I do not see the photos that I have edited. HELP

Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
Hold down the Ctrl + Shift keys and click Organizer. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
Select your catalog and click Repair. Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
Then for good measure, click Optimize.
If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog. If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
Check for Task Manager and end the "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe" file and then try.
- Try launching Organizer directly from the exe with Admin rights.
Some more solutions once you try these are here http://forums.adobe.com/message/4994459#4994459

Adobe photoshop elements will not work?

Adobe photoshop elements 8 will not work?

What doesn't work, what happens when you try, and what operating system?

My new Adobe Photoshop elements will not let me register. What do i do? Also, the disc will not release from my computer.

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop elements 10. I just installed it. it works, but when I go to register it, it refuses me.
A;lso the Photoshop 10 disc is stuck in my computer. it will not eject.
Please help
Judith.

Photoshop is a program, Adobe is the company that sells it.
Somebody taking your money does not proof you have purchased a legitimate license …
While this may well have nothing to do with your issues you should post on the proper Forum and provide other relevant information (OS, hardware, …).

I am using photoshop elements (8) for several years since I upgraded form (2). I am a mac user and just upgraded to yosimite. Photoshop elements will not open. I have tried to make the changes recommended by the Adobe website, but I can not locate them

How can I get photoshop elements to work on my mac with Yosimite??

Yes, that is correct. The organizer is just a database, so your photos are wherever you put them intially. Did you import from iphoto? In that case, organizer does make duplicates (to avoid writing into the iphoto library, which would be a Bad Thing to do). If you didn't specify a location, the copies that PSE uses will be inside subfolders in the Adobe folder in your Pictures folder.

How can I contact adobe? Elements will not open and it tells me to contact adobe, but I can find no successful way to do so

I cannot open elements. I get a message to restart my computer and if this doesn't work to contact adobe. Numerous restarts have not worked and I have been trying for 3 days to reach Adobe with no luck. I cannot get through online and when calling the customer support phone number, I spent 2 1/2 hours listening to music on hold and gave up without ever hearing a human voice. This is ridiculous! Can anyone help? I really need to be able to use the software.

This is the photoshop elements forum and PSE is not part of the cloud. I would suggest that for Muse you should ask in the Muse forums:
Help with using Adobe Muse CC

Photoshop Elements will not open after download complete

It says my download is complete, but I cannot open Photoshop Elements. I have a Macbook Pro Mac OS X 10.7.5. I would love any kind of help...very difficult to find the answer.

Did you see it go through the install process? Maybe you need to find the instal file in your download folder, and run it.
Or can you see the Elements icon on your desktop, but it is not responding? As much info as possible please.

My copy of Photoshop Elements will not open

I am also attempting to install elements 11 on my MAC Pro running 10.7.5. It also won't open for me. The icon appears on the bar but nothing happens when I click on it.

Branching this to a new discussion. Do you receive any specific error messages? Did Photoshop Elements work on your computer previously?

adobe starter edition has photo numbers by the picture such as DSCO0283.JPG , where can I find that number on the pictures in PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12--reason being that photoshop elements will not convert my catalog to version 12. If i had that number I could manually rebuild my collections into the photoshop elements 12, but all that i see in photoshop elements is dates and i have multiple pictures from the same dates. HELP! I

finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2 and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP computer and mess up the existing catalog,
unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

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.

It's strange that you ran the cleaner tool and still didn't worked
you can try to login to Root user account and then run the cleaner tool , and then check.

Photoshop CS4 will not open after system upgrade to Mac OSX Yosemite

I recently upgraded to Mac OSX Yosemite and unfortunately, my Photoshop CS4 will not open. The message says it requires Java SE6. I now have Java 7 update 71. I would appreciate suggestions from anyone who can help to resolve this problem. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Chris Cox. I followed the link in the error message to Apple's support page, downloaded and installed the Java for Mac OSX.
I can now open my PS CS4 again. What a relief!
Many thanks for your fast response and accurate advice.
Cheers!

Which adobe photoshop elements will work on osx 10.5.8 platform

which adobe photoshop elements will work on power mac G5 Osx 10.5.8 platform Leopard

Hi John,
Thanks for you reply to my initial question
John Waller wrote:
Photoshop Elements 10 was the last version to support OS X 10.5.8
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements- photoshop-elements.html
I bought photo shop elements 10 a couple of weeks ago and loaded it on to my computer which is Power Mac G5 running on OS X 10.5.8 Leopard. When I loaded the software on to the hard drive there seemed to be no problem. The file appeared as adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and included the sun flower icon.
Point 1:
When I open the file I have four additional icons (deploy - packages - payloads - Install) the install folder is red and has a no entry motif in white when you click this icon the massage comes up 'You can't open the application "Install" because its not supported on this architecture.
Point 2:
When I click on the sun flower icon Photoshop Elements 10 its takes me straight to Photoshop Elements 2 an old version that was transfered when I had to change the computer. If I click on the elements 2 icon it launches for a couple of seconds and an error message then comes on "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a programe error. Photoshop will now exit.
I would be most grateful for your assistance. Mac user North Yorkshire England

Is the Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 compatible with Mac OS X version 10.6.8?

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