  • I cannot open Photoshop Elements 10 since upgrading to OS 10.9 on my Mac Mini.  Why?  Solution?

    can anyone explain why I cannot open Elements 10 since I upgraded to OS 10.9 on my mac mini?

    It is very important to delete the preferences on doing a major OS X upgrade:
    http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mavericks/
    For PSE 10 that would be:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 paths
    com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer.10.plist
    com.adobe.Elements Organizer.10.0.plist
    Also, there's a known bug between adobe applications and using cover flow view in finder windows in 10.9:

    so be sure to put your windows into list or icon view.

  • Cannot open Photoshop Elements 7

    I need help asap please.  I am not able to open elements 7 all of a sudden.  I opened and worked in 7 earlier this morning and now am not able to do so, any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Well I checked everything that you stated and then I went to the link you provided.  I clicked on one of his responses, it led me to an adobe site and answer page.  I was all set to disable all my startup and services in msconfig when at the last minute it stated: disable eveything but Flexnet licensing and a light went on, lol.  That item wasn't checked in the startup menu.  I checked it to open on startup and guess what?  I now have photoshop elements.  Thanks for leading me to an answer.  I would still be searching if you hadn't provided me with the links. 
    Thank you very much

  • Cannot open photoshop elements 6?

    I am unable to open my older photoshop applications including elements 6 and photoshop 4 on my older Mac G4 (os 10.4.11 on both) and iBook computers. They used to work beautifully. I bought a new iMac which is networked via ethernet to my older computers, and I purchased the latest photoshop and installed it on my new intel iMac computer running Maverick (it would not support the older programs).  Shortly thereafter, my older apps on the older computers quit launching. The apps run through the credits, and then I get an error message saying the app has crashed. Help? Does this have anything to do with the installation of the newer software. I have trying reinstalling elements 6 on my  older computers and attempted to launch the app when I do not have the computers networked, but no luck. I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you.

    Here is the ACR 6.7 Windows installer for Elements 10:

    I just loaded Photoshop Elements 11 Classroom in a Book lessons and now I cannot open PS Elements 11

    What do you mean you loaded the lessons? They should just be sample files to follow along with the book. This likely has nothing to do with the issue you are encountering.
    Do you get an error message when attemting to launch?

    You cannot run Photoshop CS on a new Intel-based Mac running OS X Mavericks. CS is far too old.
    You'll have to buy Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Elements 12. Or subscribe to CC.

  • Cannot install Photoshop Elements 10.

    Cannot install Photoshop Elements 10.
    I had the trial of Photoshop Elements 10, but uninstalled it a few days before trying this install.
    I’m trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 but when I run setup it wants to uninstall it first and it fails to do that, stopping with “Error 1402 – Could not open key”. It then rolls back the install and ends. I purchased the boxed bundled version of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10. How can I get it to install without trying to uninstall first, as it is not really installed anymore?

    I have Windows Pro 64-bit.
    I have gotten past the problem of it wanting to uninstall first. The install proceeds as it should until it is almost done then I get an error and it rolls back. The error is:
    Error 1402 could not open key. UNKNOWN\components\da42bc89bf25f5bd0af18c3b9b1a1ee8\9fa945eeaaf84854382bce1fcbd91cff

    Hello,
    I am new here and I am hoping I can get someone to help me out.
    I've recently Downloaded Photoshop Elements 8 (trial) for my Brand New Computer (I use Windows 7)
    in hopes of purchasing it after learning the program a little bit, well I'm glad I haven't purchased it yet since I've run into a problem
    I cannot get Photoshop Elements Editor to open, I can however use the organizer.
    I have already tried the following things in hopes of fixing this problem
    Uninstal-Reinstal
    Services, Flexnet and made sure it was on
    Pushed Control Alt and Shift and clicked on the editor button
    all with no luck.
    I'm really hoping someone has had this problem before and can help me out, I was really looking forward to using this program since I also own Photoshop Elements 6 and the same thing happend (I found out it is not compatible and have since uninstalled it)
    Thank you so much for your help

    I cannot download Photoshop Elements 13.  My HP laptop computer spent about 20 minutes downloading files from a first link.  When I click on the second .exe link, I get a dialogue box saying all the files are not downloaded.  This has happened to me before and I don't understand what to do.

    you need both the exe and the 7z files.  put both in the same directory and double click the exe.

  • Cannot find Photoshop Elements 11.0,exe

    I made a mistake by deleting Photoshop Elements 11. I did it not the proper way. Then I tried to instal Photoshop Element over and over again but after installing I cannot open the Welcome screen because a pop up screen appears: I cannot find Photoshop Elements 11.0.exe.
    However I can start the program by using 'Photoshop Elements Editor' but when started the program I cannot use 'Organizer'!

    Today I solved the problem.
    1. Every time I removed Photoshop Elements 11.0. I used Revo Uninstaller. After cleaning with Ccleaner and restart the pc I installed Photoshop Elements again. And the samen procedure again (4 times).
    2. This time I used Windows 7 software to remove Photoshop Elements 11.0. And Premiere Elements 11.0 as well. (I use Premiere Elements 12.0).
    3. Cleaning with Ccleaner, restart pc and reinstal Photoshop Elements 11.0.
    4. All necessary files are installed now and PE11.0 works!
    Thanks for trying helping me out.
    Best wishes, Cees

  • Cannot get Photoshop Elements 10 Trial to Install - Windows 7 64-bit

    Hi,
    I cannot get Photoshop Elements 10 Trial to Install - Windows 7 64-bit.  I downloaded the trail of Photoshop CS6 just fine.  I am trying to download the trial of Photoshop Elements 10.  I get the adobe installer window and I login in and select my PSE 10 Trial and the installation begins and I have it saved to my desktop.  When the installation finishes nothing happens.  There is a Photoshop Elements folder on my desktop but it is empty.  I have tried a couple of time with the same result.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi Ken,
    I apologize for not making myself clear.  What I meant by "saving to desktop" was when I I went to download the the trial of PSE 10 the install window will ask me where I want to save the file.  It is defaulted (highlighted) to save to "my documents" but I selected to save the file to my desktop.  I tried to install the trial of Photoshop Elements 10 again and this time it did install and is working.
    Thanks again for responding.

  • Every time I try to open Photoshop Elements 12, it opens the Adobe login, after I login the program does not open:( Help please?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

    Are you sure that:
    1. You have the correct disc for your operating system? You have both mac and windows versions on the discs. If you have a mac you want disc 3, not disc 1.
    2. PSE is not already installed?
