Can't Install Elements. Help?

I purchased Elements 11 last night, to install on my mac. But the files I downloaded do not install. I think I may have WIN files instead of MAC files, but when I go back to the Adobe download link, there is no option to download anything except the files I've already tried (and yes, I've tried BOTH the Akemi download manager and the alternate download method/ Both simply give me the same, unusuable files).
What can you guys do to help me? Is tthere a correct file you can send me? Or do you refund my money so I can purchase it again, correctly? Help!

On the Adobe website, in my "downloads" section, I see the following options: "Akamai Download Manager," and "Alternate Download Manager Parts 1 and 2"
If I click on "Akamai Download Manager," I get a b;ack "downloading bundle / initializing" screen that goes away in a few seconds, and switches to a black "Download Complete" screen, along with a popup that reads, "PhotoshopElements 11_WWEFDJ.exe" is a file from the internet. Are you sure you want to open it?" And if I do open it, I simply get a text file with unreadable symbols and code.
If I use "Alternate Download Manager Parts 1 and 2," I get an error propt that says, "there is no application set to open the document PhotoshopElements 11_WWEFDJ.7Z
So what do I do?

Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on old laptop. Is there a small fee to be able to do this. Never installed the video editing portion, can this be installed with no problem?

Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop. This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again. Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.

If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

Can't install Elements 10 after I bought it in 2012

....and in addition to reading the link Todd posted, it would probably make much more sense to post a few specs of your hardware, so someone could at least take a guess at what might be going on. You know, not much point to just saying that something doesn't work when we cannot possibly have the slightest clue about your specific audio hardware and its settings. Could be anything from bad drivers to genuine problems in AE, but who's to say?

How many computers can I install Elements on?

I recently purchased the Costco special edition of Elements 13. I currently have a PC laptop but am getting a Mac for Christmas. My question is can I install Elements on my computer now and then also install it on my new computer when I get it?
Thanks!

As long as you bought a boxed version, yes. You can have two activated installations of PSE. For the boxed versions that can be two macs, two windows computers, or one of each, but downloads are usually limited to two computers on the same platform.

Can I install elements 13 over an old version

Can I install elements 13 over an old version

Yes, different Elements versions are independent programs. You can keep them in your computer; it's even recommended until you master the new version and you have checked that some features have not been removed. It's also recommended if you are using the organizer until you are sure your catalogs have been correctly converted.

Can I install elements on a computer that already has photoshop CS 6 without damaging CS 6.

I have photoshop CS 6 for students and teachers on my computer already. I was feeling optimistic about the time and attention I would have for learning all the complications of a full version. I have used only elements in the past and have not been an advanced user at that. I need to edit some photos for school quickly. Can I install the version of elements that I already have without damaging the CS 6 version? My installation disk for CS 6 has a small crack in the center and I'm not sure if it will work again.

Yes, all versions of Adobe software install into their own separate folders on your hard drive and will happily co-exist.
So you can install Elements without interfering with CS6.
My installation disk for CS 6 has a small crack in the center and I'm not sure if it will work again.
Doesn't matter. You don't really need it again other than as a drink coaster. It probably contains outdated software anyway.
You can always download the CS6 installer from the Adobe website when you need to re-install CS6.

Can we install ELEMENTS on same system as PRO?

Hello
Please may I ask a question on behalf of my elderly father?
He is an enthusiastic user of Adobe Premiere PRO for producing home movies for his family. He is on his 3rd machine which currently uses CS3 and (I believe a MATROX RT capture card ?). His 1st machine used v6 and is 2nd machine used CS1.5 ??
I mentioned he is elderly ... I know v.little about what he does, but it seems apparent to me he gets VERY confused and makes subtle changes to the program (inadvertently) which he then doesn't understand, and cannot correct or go back. His source for all his work is a Panasonic MiniDV camera.
I was wondering if he might benefit from a 'downgrade' to ELEMENTS v9 which may be easier to use and less confusing (but hopefully work in the same manner)? Any comments would be HUGELY appreciated. He uses ENCORE to produce the DVDs. Can we purchase ELEMENTS v9 and install it on the same machine and see how he gets on with it (without removing PRO CS3) or will there be some incompatability issues?
Thankyou VERY much for any advice
Kind regards from UK
priyp

I wouldn't change his workflow if it already works for him and he likes it.
You can have both on your PC (I have both PrePro CS5 and PE9) and they don't interfer with each other at all. Though, if he is using CS3, I assume his computer is a few years old and it might not take well to PE9.
cheerio!

Can't Install Elements 8

Just purchased the Photoshop and Premiere elements 8 and I can not install either of them. Everything seems to work fine right up to the very end when I get a window that says "INSTALLATION WIZZARD COMPLETE. The wizzard was interupted before photoshop elements 8 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete the installation at another time, please run setup again``. After multiple attempts, I get the same result. Any idea what the problem may be?

There must be a installer log file which must be created on your machine having name PSE8Installer.log, can you please attach that to this thread?
It can be located inside the folder which open up by typing "%temp%" inside your Windows->Run dialog and hitting enter key.
Regards,
Ankush
