After 2 mos, Adobe Elements 12 Editor won't open

Worked fine before, now Editor won't open at all either from the Organizer or from anywhere else, such as Lightroom. Suggestions please

Interesting. I just closely examined the error dialogs I was getting when PSE 12 failed to launch. There were numerous problems with case sensitivity errors for various frameworks inside the application. For instance, one of the errors complained that it could not find the "AdobeLinguistic" framework. The reason evidently is that the name was actually spelled without capitals. It was "adobelinguistic". I manually correct quite a number of these types of errors by renaming the offending area in the Framworks section of the application bundle. This continued with each launch. I'd get a new error. I'd correct it and try again. Another error. Another correction. Finally, it got past all the issues and launched PSE 12. However, at that point, there was some internal error in PSE 12 (no surprise) that prevented it from running yet didn't show any kind of dialog where I could attempt to perform any further corrections. I suspect this may have something to do with the fact that I have my disk partition setup as a case sensitive partition. If someone else has a disk that is not case sensitive, I suspect they wouldn't see this error.
I've reported this as a bug on the Photoshop Family Customer Community in the hopes that someone from Adobe will see it and take corrective action.
I realize that some of you may find this post over your head a bit technically and for that I apologize. But since I had already posted here earlier, I wanted to get this out so people would understand that there does appear to be a real issue with PSE 12. We'll see what Adobe has to say.

Adobe Elements 9 won't open new project.

My version of Adobe Elements 9, bought in April 2011 for my PC with Windows 7, won't allow me to open a new project. All I get is a greyed out prompt that won't go anywhere. It will open a prior project. I haven't used the program in about 9 months. This is the video part of the pacage, not Photshop, which seems to function fine. (Although at the advice of a for pay tech advice forum I reinstalled it afater deleting several of it's directories.) I have reinstalled Elements, updated the flash player and run an Elements 9 update. Ideas?

It could be an issue with your scanner or printer installed.

Photoshop 12 elements editor won't open at sign in

I bought photoshop elements 12 as a registration card at a local retailer. I had to get online help to convert the key into a serial number since my windows 8 machine didn't get a response from the webpage (just kept cycling on the timer boxes for hours). after downloading twice with the licenced key, all that seems to download is the organiser. For the editor, it asks me to sign in. I do the password and my email name is correct in the box above but it asks me to wait and then does nothing but close back to the organiser ( or back to the windows desktop if going to editor direct). I know that the sign in details are correct because I sign into my adobe account etc etc with it.
So, why is the editor ditching me whilst the organiser is fine, given I have 7 days to register with the sign in feature on editor?
p.s. I downloaded twice in case it was an error picked up there- but no joy.
Since I've paid for good that do not do the job, what is the approach to refunding my money if no technical fix is available in reasonable time and effort, one week on with loads of head scratching?

Hi,
Could you please try the following solutions and see if any of these work:
1. Navigate to 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe' located inside:
Win x64: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
Win x32: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
     Right click on 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe' and select 'Run as Admin'
2. Just after this keep on pressing 'Ctrl+Alt+Shift' on Windows (or Command+Option+Shift on Mac). You will get a popup asking to delete Elements settings file. Click Yes.
     If the above does not work, please try the following:
3. Please rename SLCache folder present at location "<root drive:>\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache"
     Win: Also please rename opm.db on your machine to resolve this issue @ <root drive>\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
      Mac : Users Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
     Now re-launch the application.
4. In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
5. Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
If none of these work, please let me know.

Photoshop Elements Editor won't open

I have been using Photoshop Elements since July without any problems. Now the Oraganizer will open but the editor will not. How can I fix this?

We badly need to have a consolidated thread for the many victims of this problem. PSE 10, 11, 12 (Windows) at least. Organizer loads, Editor does not. The way this forum is set up, you wouldn't see it unless you have been following for some time as I have. [PSE 10 victim].
I don't know who first got the idea that clearing prefs was a solution. It does not work for us.
I thought the forum revisions might make it easier to see all the posts about this common problem. They don't!
But now, thanks to taziers, "I was on the phone with tech support for 3 hours with no success and I was told this was a flaw with adobe Photoshop."
So I have been wasting all the time I've spent on fixing? Wait for a patch, if ever. .?? . .TBC

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Edit

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

Adobe Premiere Elements 12 won't open

I downloaded Adobe premiere elements 12 on my hp and it keeps telling me I need to log in and register, but once I do it looks like it is loading for a few seconds and then just exits. Please help me fix this problem

TripleEinstein
What is the computer operating system for your HP computer? And, since it is a HP computer, does it use more than one video card/graphics card.
Premiere Elements has problems with that 2 card system. Please tell us the card situation as shown in Device Manager/Display Adapters.
The usual drill
1. Running computer from a User Account with Administrative Privileges and Run As Administrator applied to desktop icon?
2. Latest version of QuickTime installed on computer with Premiere Elements?
3. Did you install the program to the default, Drive C location?
4. Does the problem exist with and without antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Even though you cannot open the Premiere Elements Editor, can you open the Elements Organizer?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

Photoshop Elements 9 Editor Won't Open

I have PSE 9, and the editor won't open (organizer will, but not editor). When I click "Edit" from the welcome screen, the welcome screen just disappears and nothing happens. I tried accessing the editor directly from the program files folder, and again, nothing happens . I tried right-clicking on photos and telling them to open in PSE. Nothing happens. No error messages or anything-- it just won't open.
It worked fine on my old computer in Windows 7, but I recently got a new computer with Windows 8. I tried running in compatibility mode for Windows 7, but that doesn't solve the problem. I also tried uninstalling and re-installing.
Please help me-- this is driving me nuts! Thanks.

Yes, but the odds are that you chose the logical file instead of the correct one. The actual editor is hidden away inside the support files folder for PSE 13 and the file at the top level of the Applications>PSE 13 folder is just an alias to the Welcome Screen. You really want this one:

Photoshop elements editor does not open

I had photoshop elements 12 for windows working fine on windows 7 professional 64 bit . Then recently attempted to install the12.1 upgrade which failed with the usual lack of any useful information.
I removed elements, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, ran the update successfully, rebooted and now, as has been since the upgrade attempt, the editor won't start. If I right click a photo in the organizer and pick edit, I get a message "Loading the Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor Workspace..." for a couple of minutes, the message disappears, and no editor appears.
How do I diagnose and fix?

Before anybody asks, no the editor won't open from the startup screen nor from the right click menu when displaying a folder with pictures.

PSE 11 Editor Won't Open Due to my "tampering"

Photo Elements 11 Editor won’t open. (I also have PSE 6 and Editor now won’t open in it). I have Windows XP. Editor was working fine until I was trying to get my Viveza 2 plug-in into PSE 11 (I had it in PSE6 and all was fine). I looked all over internet and could not find answer. Went into PSE 11 Editor screen and from one of the tabs I saw a place for plug-ins—you could browse for folder/file of plug-in (or so I thought). I went to Viveza folder inside my NIK folder and clicked it. After that --- Editor no longer loads in PSE 11 or 6. I have tried resetting Preferences—no help. I don’t even know what tab I used in Editor since I cannot open it. Any thoughts? I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling but think nothing will change since PSE6 was affected too. Need to change whatever I did to the file.
Any thoughts?? Thanks!

Try these solutions to see if any of these work.
If none of them works, let me know.
Solution1:
Close Elements. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor. 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.
Solution2:
In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution3:
In case that does not work too, you may try this.
Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.

Ringtone editor won't open

When I click on the ringtone "bell" symbol, I'm sent to a page that tells me either to click on the bell (which I've already done), or to the Store menu and click on "create ringtone" -- but "create ringtone" is grayed out.
What do I do??? This never happened before. I'm using OS X 10.5.2 with an original iPhone updated with 2.0 software.

Do you get any error messages? Also, can you launch it manually by going to the program folder with Windows Explorer and double clicking on "PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe" file? On a windows system the file is located at:
<C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop elements>
Also for version 5.0 the file may be called something else.. You just need to use some guess work. You can only launch .exe files so just have a go and post back.
Hope this helps.

G6 Experience Definition Editor won't open

Following an upgrade from 5.0.4 Windows/Java to G6 on Solaris/Tomcat, the Experience Definition Editor won't start. It spews a bunch of errors, but I think this one is the root cause:

Photoshop Elements editor does not open from Lightroom edit command

I have PSE 12 and LR 4.4 on iMac 10.9.5. My LR preference is set to PSE Editor and was done so by LR, I cannot change it. When I try to edit in PSE, an 8 bit Tiff is created then I get the error message that "there was a problem.......". In the details is this line:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeLinguistic.framework/Versions/3/AdobeLinguistic
Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
Reason: image not found
I do not understand this, but the problems seems related to the Library, which, I don't know. I had PSE 12.1, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled PSE 12.0. It made no difference, same error message.

Before anybody asks, no the editor won't open from the startup screen nor from the right click menu when displaying a folder with pictures.

Editor won't open on newly installed PE8

I just got PE 8 for Christmas and installed it on my computer today. I am running XP, and my computer meets or exceeds all the requirements for the program to work. When I open the software, the Organizer works fine, but the Editor won't open. Every time I click on it it "thinks" for a minute, and then the Windows error window pops up telling me to send an error report. I've restarted my computer numerous times to no avail. I haven't uninstalled it and tried it again yet because I got a message saying I needed to deactivate the serial number to uninstall, and that made me nervous so I didn't do it. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, I was so excited to get to use the software and am now completely frustrated that it won't work. Thank you!

Try the following. I put it in an older post in this forum Jan 4 I believe.
Called PSE tech support and had it working in 5 minutes.
goto C:/Program Files(X86)/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 8.0/Locales/en_us/Plug-ins/import-export    and file
   Twain_32    has to be renamed to   ~Twain_32      .
next goto   C:/Windows/twain_32          in this directory I had to remove a folder called Dell which was associated with an A940 printer that doesn't work on windows 7.   The only file left was    wiatwain.ds    .
with the 2 above change PSE came right up in editor mode.
My system is a Quad core from Dell 630i, 8 GB ram and running Windows 7.
maybe same problem in XP, don't know.

I am new to my recently installed elements 9-- I imported my photos from iphoto to the organizer--after I select a photo, and go to the fix section, I go to edit photos but the elements workspace won,t open, even though the timer dealy runs Any help?

If your Elements workspace is not loading then i think it is the problem with the Editor's preferences.
