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.

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.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 not downloading to Windows 8

I already purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. Had it on a laptop with Windows 7. The laptop motherboard crashed. I was told by Adobe rep that I could re-install on a new computer. My new laptop is Windows 8 and the software will NOT download. Why?

Well, what specifically do you mean? Are there any errors? What exactly are you doing? you need to provide more details and explain better.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 - problems downloading

I have Windows 7 on my computer, and Photoshop Elements 12 will not download properly. When I checked further on my computer, it is the Windows XP compatible version. How do I get the correct version to download?

If you downloaded PSE 12 for Windows then you downloaded the correct version. There are only two versions, one for PC and one Mac. The PC version covers Windows XP SP3 thru Windows 8.1.
If you are having a problem downloading you can always try a direct download of the trial version thru the fllowing site.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

I've installed the installer without a problem, but Photoshop Elements trial won't download. I've followed all the directions, uninstalled the installer and installed it again, but it still shows more than an hour is left for installation to be complete. What should I try next?

Did you receive any specific error messages when the download failed? Which operating system are you using? Finally can you please try initiating a direct download using the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update

Since purchasing the suite, I have never been able to download the updates successfully. I receive the notifications and it goes through the process of installing, then I get the error message that the patch failed to install and to contact support. I do not believe I should purchase the support program in order to recieve patches or find out why it will not install. Any suggestions????

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Won't Install Updates?

I've received some notifications about installing updates for this product, but every time I try, it seems to be downloading, and then gives me the error page that essentially goes as:
Some updates failed to install
He following updates were unable to install. If you wish to install these updates, please fic the problems below and retry.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
And then I get the same message for a Photoshop Camera Raw 6.5 Update.
When I looked at the customer service link, it took me to a page discussing the product not being qualified with a serial number or some such. Except, I have registered the product, and there doesn't appear to be any prompt to re-submit the serial number.
Is this something to do with the creative cloud not upgrading products not part of the suite? Something else? I appreciate any and all responses.
Thank you

I purchased adobe photoshop elements 13 from dell to download on my Mac OS Which has been updated to maverick. When i download the link it goes into the download bucket and tells me to choose an app to open and I can't figure out which app to choose??

How to download elements 13 to Mac OS computer. It's telling me to choose an app to open file. I can not figure out which

if you have a serial number, and if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

I need the download link to Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0

Does anyone have the link to Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 download?

There isn't one, I'm afraid, and even if there were the odds are that it would do you no good, since back then downloads and disc versions had mutually incompatible serial numbers and hardly anybody bought software as downloads that long ago, so you you'd be a very rare exception if you had done.

Do you have the purchased serial number? What computer operating system?
If you purchased from Adobe direct, you can get download installation files from "My Orders" at the Adobe web site under your Adobe ID and Password (http://www.adobe.com).
Alternatively, you can use the following Adobe document with links to the downloads....
Other downloads
Also, from the following web site as a tryout into which you insert your purchased serial number during installation
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
To avoid Access Denied message, follow carefully the web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions".
Just in case note...make sure installation files are for your computer operating system 32 vs 64 bit. Two files (.exe and .7z)
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Please let us know the outcome as your schedule permits.
Thank you.
