Cannot install p/shop elements 11 ? incompatible disc

All attempts to install photoshop elements 11 fail. error (-1). This is said to mean incompatibility due to HSFX files being case sensitive. S/ware downloads OK  on my wife's laptop but she doesn't want it on her machine! Is there a way round this? Adobe are less than helpful. Comp is an imac, snow leopard,OSX 10-8-2. Disc repaired and permissions successfully. Cleaned regularly. Internet downloads updates etc. Have I wasted my money?

This is said to mean incompatibility due to HSFX files being case sensitive.
Check your drive's format. Highlight the drive you're trying to install to and press Command+I, or choose Get Info from the main menu. Under Format:, if it says Mac OS Extended (Case-Sensitive, Journaled), that's the problem.
Very few people have reason to use a case sensitive file system. The Adobe apps will not install on any such drive. In order to fix it, you need back up the drive, erase it as non case sensitive and reinstall the OS. I'm not sure if you can do a restore of the backup without the file system being changed back to case sensitive.

  • I cannot install Adobe Premiere Elements 11

    Hi, please help. I cannot install Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on my laptop, I run IE10, I disabled my Anti-Virus software and inserted the Elements DVD. I click on 'Install Adobe Premiere Elements 11', I then select 'English (United States)' from the list of languages. It then starts the 'Preparing to install' process and states that it is 'Configuring Windows Installer'. However, I then get a 'Windows Installer' text box appear, with what appears to be lots of HTML text inside. I click on 'OK' at the bottom of the box and then it just returns to the first screen again. This is very frustrating and I cannot work out what is going wrong with the installation. I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 from the same DVD with no problem

    Thanks again, okay, so I click on the 'Install Adobe Premiere Elements 11' and then I select 'English (United States)' from the drop down list of languages -
    The next screen shows that it is 'Preparing to install' and I see the following box -
    and then finally it brings up a 'Windows Installer' box, however, when I click on 'OK' it takes me back to the first screen again -
    Any help or suggestions would be mucgh appreciated becaue at the moment I feel as though I have wasted my money
    Many thanks

    Cannot install Mountain Lion on my hard disc, as I keep getting the message" 'This disk is used for Time Machine backups'. Which it isn't - I don't use Time Machine

    Check to see if you have a folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the root level of your hard disk. That can cause this error message.

  • Cannot install adobe photoshop elements 10 on my Pro Mac

    Do you receive any error messages?  What type of Mac are you trying to install it on too?  What version of the operating system are you using?

  • Cannot install Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on Windows

    I have been trying to install Photoshop Elements for that last half hour and I cannot get past the language selection screen. When I put the DVD in, it runs automatically. When I select the button to download Photoshop Elements 10, I am then taken to a screen to select my language. After selecting "English", nothing happens. Any suggestions?

    After selecting your language you will need to click on the Accept button to accept the End User License Agreement.  Once the EULA is accepted you should be able to proceed with your installation.  I would also recommend reviewing Install | Adobe Premiere Elements | Photoshop Elements | Windows | Mac OS.

    Hi revbos,
    Apologies for your incovinience.
    Requesting you to please go to https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us. When you click on download button (after selecting your OS details), it should open a new browser window (which will launch the Akamai installer automatically). Please cancel any installation or error shown.
    The newly opened browser page will look something like this:
    As highlighted, please click on these links (one by one) and see if it downloads the required files. The downloaded files will be compressed with 7z format. If you have some extracting tool (like WinZip) try extracting it. If you don't have it, download 7z. Its a free utility from Microsoft. Once downloaded and installed, you will be able to extract file and locate the PSE setup.
    Please let me know if you face any issues.

  • Cannot install adobe Premiere elements 9 disc

    I bought adobe photoshop elments 9 & adobe Premiere elements 9 sotftware from a store.

    I went to install disc 2 (adobe premiere elements 9) & computer said 'Adobe Premiere elements 9 is not installed on the system or has corrupted. Please install adobe premiere 9 & retry'.
    I also disable my antivirus software before I installed disc 1 and when I tried to install disc 2.
    How can I install disc 2 ??
    yzponyhead.

    The only disc error I recieved was 'adobe premiere elements 9 is not installed on the system or is corrupted. This is disc 2 from the software pack.
    Disc 1 installed sucessfully.  i can see it in my program files.  Disc 2 has not installed it is not on my computer.
    I cannot get a refund from my store because I have entered the serial # & already registered the product. They cannot resell it.
    The store said if I get a reference # from you saying the disc 2 is faulty, I can recieve a refund.
    I await your reply.

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 without Discs

    I recently purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on amazon.com.  The product was shipped to me with installl discs.  The problem is that my Mac does not have a DVD drive.  Is there a way to install the product online using the serial numbers on the packaging?  Any suggetions would be greatly appreciated!

    Try http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page closely otherwise the download links will not work.
    Once you've successfully installed, backup the file. There's no guarantee it'll be there next time you need it.
    Alternatively, you can always purchase a cheap external DVD drive and connect it via USB to install software. That's what I sometimes do with my MacBook Air.
