Did you use migration assistant to copy over programs, documents, and settings? You can't do that with PSE. Elements is not a tidy package in accordance with the apple developer guidelines. The installer strews stuff all of your hard drive in place the migration assistant isn't programmed to look and you can never hope to find all h the bits. You must always install PSE from scratch on a new machine. By attempting to copy it you have made a lot of trouble for yourself.
You will need to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
and then you can go around and manually remove what you can reach. Look in applications, your hard drive>library>application support>adobe, your username>library>preferences. In the user library also delete any saved application states for PSE.
Then you can reinstall from scratch.

So my phone got wet the other day. I dried it out completely, but the touch screen still isn't working. Is there anything I can do short of getting a new phone? Anything that can be done at the nearest Verizon store? I am one of three phones on our plan and I am trying not to need to get a new phone before our contract expires next month.

Hello wetphone!
We're sorry to hear that your phone isn't working. It's very important to have a functioning touchscreen! Let's explore your options OK? If the phone is taken to a store, troubleshooting can indeed be done. The store representative can even contact us while you're there. Do you have insurance on the device? Or, do you maybe have a prior vzw device that can be activated until the upgrade is available? You can also check your My Verizon account to see if your line( or another line on the account) is eligible for an upgrade. VZW always has options for you.
Thank You,

Contact the seller.
If you decide to keep your purchased Lightroom 4, you will also have to purchase the Upgrade to go from 4 to 5.x

How can I switch to get the new promotional price of $19.99?

I just ordered Creative Cloud for students and teachers this past month for $29.99/mo. I'm just seeing that there is a promotion for $19.99/mo. Is there a way I can get the new promotional price of $19.99/mo as opposed to my original $29.99?

My new iMack doesn't have sound, what can I do? I'm new with Mac

What do you mean it doesn't have sound? If it's a new machine call AppleCare, you have 90 days of support via telephone and can find the number in your owner's manual.
I'd also STRONGLY suggest you book mark and begin using:

How safe is my iTunes account and how can I prevent it getting hacked?

I just finished reading an article and was wondering how to prevent my account from being hacked ect.
http://www.3news.co.nz/iTunes-accounts-hacked-money-stolen---reports/tabid/412/a rticleID/214432/Default.aspx#top

Your account is very safe and it is very unlikly that it will get hacked because every time you change your password it requires you to re enter your security code on your credit card. Also, every time you close out itunes and then buy something, it asks for a password. I have been on itunes for about 7 years with 7 different accounts within my family and not one of them has ever been hacked. If you are still worried then I would agree with the comment above.

Folder changed into .bundle file... can't open.... new to macs....

Hi. I use a music program called Ableton Live 7. My library (presets, samples, etc.) was located in the Library/Application Support Folder, but now it has magically changed into a .bundle folder and renamed itself "Ableton Live Engine."
Ableton Live 7 itself works fine, and under it's preferences it says it's library path is still in the Application Support folder.... what gives? I need to get back into my Ableton library folder so I can copy some of the files to a DVD for backup.
I'm brand new to macs. Macbook 2.2ghz, 1gig ram, I'm using.

Press the Control key while clicking on the bundle and choose Show Package Contents from the menu which appears.

When I open my iMac, I get this message - Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. ???????

When I open my iMac, I get the following message : Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. Then it says to quit applications not in usw and to close windows and remove files from startup disk. It lists Safari, email and Finder. I force a quit on all applications yet the same message comes up every time I open an application. What do I do to get rid of this once and for all? The computer is not even two years old and is only used for email and Safari. Help will be greatly appreciated,

The message has nothing to do with low disk space.
There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Can't connect Canon EOS30D to new I-mac

Hi, a month ago I bought a new I-mac 2.66GHZ. I have tried to connect my Canon EOS30D so I can download some images, but it doesn't appear on my desktop. The window on the camera itself keeps flashing up 'busy'.
My firewall isn't on, that's all I can think might be stopping the connection. Has anyone got any ideas? would be grateful for any advice. Many thanks.

Do you have access to a card reader?
I have an EOS350D and a 5D, I never connect direct to the camera, I use a generic "el cheapo" USB card reader that I purchased from: www.play.com
I prefer not to keep plugging things into the camera connectors, just my little foible.
Oh and welcome to the Forums.

How can be sure I get craigslist new relay emails?

Craigslist has instituted a new email realy system to keep users' email addresses hidden from from each other. Now some of my craigslist email correspondence is coming though and some is winding up in the icloud junk folder. I'm not sure how long it stays there but I could well be missing some emails if the icloud junk makes them disappear before I log on to my desktop. I use my iPad most of the time and I can't even see iCloud junk folder there.
An example of an address in the junk today (changed of course) is below
John Doe <5d491a997a8796ghjpe370596d05aa78 (at) reply (dot) craigslist (dot) org>
A reply to an ad that DID come through was from this address (changed of course)
craigslist reply xxxx <2xxxxxxxb1zz39718f33920dpf578ddc (at) reply (dot) craigslist (dot) org>
Two questions:
Can I stop the iCloud from marking these as junk?
If not, how long will iCloud hold junk in the iCloud junk folder?

   You should get 4GB of ram from apple, buy 16GB of ram from Crucial and you'll end up with 24GB of ram and you can send me 50 bucks and you'll still have money left over.
    You won't need the fusion drive for WoW but it will really make things much, much faster. I just got a refurb and got it with an SSD inside and it's really amazing. I'll bet the savings in ram will come close to paying for the fusion drive. You could also just get an SSD inside and use an external HD. I have 6 external drives connected to my new refurb right now. No problem.
    You won't need the i7 for WoW, nor will you need it for light duty iMovie editing. Will the i7 do things faster? Probably here and there but for home use where time isn't money the i5 will be just fine. I'd just get whatever faster graphics card option is available.

HT1349 the little things where the charger goes is broken. can i return and get a new ipod touch

i need help

Probably not. It would come under accidental damage which isn't covered by a warranty. YOu can take it into an Apple store and have them have a look at it, but all you may get is the ability to purchase a replacement.

HT4623 Bingo Blingo has come out with an update version 2.2 but it hasn't shown up in the apple App Store yet. What can I do to get the new update

Bingo Blingo has come up with an updated version 6.2. It is not showing up in the App Store. How do I get the latest update?

Check the updates through the App Store and if there has been a revision of the app for your device you will be able to compare the app on your device. If the app has been updated and the app update is not available through the App Store, delete the app then reinstall it to see if that resolves the problem.

Can my MacBook pro get hacked?

My Mac was being very slow then died and when I turned it on it had 4 messages asked to allow or deny these programs with weird jumbled letters do I denied then it wouldn't let me use y wireless and reset the day to December 2000 when I didn't even have the computer? My wireless on my iPhone works though? I even played around on my other desktop with the network and can't figure it out any suggestions?

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have it tested.
