Elements 12 stopped working on my MAC

I cannot open Elements 12 Editor and Organizer
When I try to oped the Editor this windows appears
(impossible to open the app ...)
I tried to reinstall the app from the Adobe download page but the Adobe Download Assistant does not open (message is: the package may be damaged ..)
I have also tried again with the firewall off with the same result.
I have sent an email to adobe support with no replay after more than a week.
My MAC is running the OS 10.9.4 (now updated to 10.9.5). I do not remember if the last time Elements worked the OS was a previous version (I usually update the OS when a new version is available)
Thank you in advance for any suggestion.
Angelo

I would suggest you trash the prefs file so that they get automatically re-built on next launch.
Quit PSE12
Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following files:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Settings

    My photoshop Elements 11 has stopped working on my mac.  I bought it via download in December 2012 - how do I get this to reinstall? There doesn't seem to be a place to do this on MyAdobe......

    JJWilna where did you purchase Photoshop Elements 11 from?  If you purchased the software from Adobe then please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ for information on how to download your purchased software from our site.

  • I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an iMAC. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe about this.  What do I do? Ed

    I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an IMAC and it doesn't work on that either. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe. What do I do? Thanks, Ed

    That because the activation servers were retired. Now for the good news:
    Adobe has provided a non-activation version of Photoshop CS2 free of charge for their CS2 license holders.
    Download the Mac version of Photoshop (not the suite) and copy down the serial number next to it.  Do not use your original serial number or cs2 disc.
    Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
    Uh... one more thing CS2 is PPC only.  OSX 10.6.8 has Rosetta to run legacy PPC products. 10.7 and above will not.
    Good luck,

  • The zooming function on the trackpad stopped working on my Mac Air OSX 10.9.3.  I've already checked the trackpad preferences to make sure I didn't inadvertently alter something.

    The zooming function on the trackpad stopped working on my Mac Air OSX 10.9.3.  I've already checked the trackpad preferences to make sure I didn't inadvertently alter something.  It worked fine in the morning then when I woke my computer in the afternoon the zoom no longer worked.  I use this function constantly so I hope something is not broken.

    Where is zooming not working?

  • The editing feature of photoshop elements stopped working what is the solution

    the  editing feature of photoshop elements stopped working after i installed nik efex pro wacom pen.

    You need to remove third party plugin and try launching. You should find it in plugins folder either here C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Plug-Ins or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins
    Else try skipping the loading of thirdparty plugins like below:
       1. Close Elements.
       2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl/cmd + shift as you click Editor/Edit.
       3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message to skip loading of 3rd party plugins..Click yes and check.
    Thanks,

  • HT4906 all that happened was that iPhoto stopped working on my mac.

    please help me iphoto stopped working on my mac and if i get it from the app store its £10

    So the application is present in the Applications folder  In that case you will have to reinstall iPhoto.
    To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updaters.

  • Premiere and Photoshop Elements Stopped working

    Been using both for a year. Over the last couple weeks every time I would start one up I'd get the Adobe free trial or subscribe to the Cloud option. Finally, neither (of the paid for programs) would load. Nothing changed on my system. No new software. No other problems. If it just stopped working that would be one thing. The fact that I started getting the sign up screen to trial or subscribe right before it stopped working leaves one to wonder, doesn't it?

    Good to hear from you. Hope that we can help you get your Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit working again.
    My Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit experiences were like yours much of last year. For me, Photoshop Elements 12 was months without resolution and each had its problems with Sign In.
    1. I strongly encourage you to take the opportunity to click on License This Product if you get that tryout dialog popping up and then to follow the instructions to get the program activated. There is no escaping the Sign In which comes with an automatic registration. That is an easy and quick resolution.
    2. Please review the the following to determine if you feel that these choices and continuing choices seem relevant to your situation
    Regarding Sign In
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/12/pe12-adobe-idpassword-requirement-for.html
    Regarding Photoshop Elements 12 and/or Premiere Elements 12 not opening
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Adobe ID/Password Requirement for Sign In.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Sign In Failure (Connect to Internet or Fix Computer Clock)
    3. Have you included a product like the free ccleaner as part of your uninstalls/reinstalls troubleshooting to remove any leftovers from
    incomplete uninstalls reinstalls?
    CCleaner - Download
    When you do the downloads and installs, have you been disabling the antivirus and firewall(s)? This factor seems to have the most impact
    on the Adobe Application Manager file (.exe) in the .exe/.7z required files.
    Has exploration of the Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications errors and warnings offered any insights to pin point the issue as in one
    of the examples in one of the blog posts cited above?
    Think about the merits of troubleshooting one program at a time. Maybe we might get lucky, and one fix will fix both at the same time.
    Often after install/reinstall, deletion of settings files in Photoshop Elements 12/Elements Organizer 12/Premiere Elements 12 might still bring some
    resolution.
    Thanks again for reviewing the above.

  • LIcensing has stopped working DreamWeaver CS4 Mac OS 10.9.4

    Have followed instructions here
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
    as much as possible.
    Solution 1: I don't have [hard drive]/Library/Preferences/FlexNet Publisher/ on my hard drive so can't delete it.
    Solution 2: Have tried to run license repair tool in terminal. I type sudo python then drag LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app across, but get invalid syntax returned.
    I haven't gone any further than this.
    I did have adobe photoshop cc trial on this machine, which I deleted and wonder whether this has now screwed up Dreamweaver (I don't use it so much these days).
    Any help gratefully received, Tim

    Hi magootim,
    Can you try the solutions in this post?
    Dreamweaver CS4 keeps showing a licensing error 150:30. Any ideas?

  • Thunderbolt display has stopped working with my mac mini

    I purchased a brand new thunderbolt display and mac mini a couple of months ago, and now the thunderbolt display no longer comes on when I start the mac (I am only able to type this here because I pulled out my old monitor and plugged it in to the mac mini via hdmi port, which seems to work just fine).
    I have so far shut down and re start my mac a couple of times. I have unplugged everything and started them back up a couple of times, but nothing seems to work. How can I get this fixed? I have to admit that I feel like a shmuck for paying this much money for a monitor and then have it stop working.

    If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

    Is the printer attached to the computer or is it a network printer?

  • Links to slideshow stopped working on non .mac published site

    I was helping my friend redo his website in iWeb. It was previously done in iWeb, and worked fine when published to a folder and uploaded to his verizon account.
    Today, when we exported and upload none of the links on the photo gallery pages worked. Clicking a photo to enlarge it found a broken link, and the slide show stopped working too.
    I thought I forgot to do something, so I uploaded the old version of the site. That stopped working, too.
    Am I missing something?

    The Apple slideshow (the one built-in to iWeb) using the photo template is supposedly one of the ".Mac-only" features of iWeb. It uses some resources off the .Mac servers, so it probably won't work when the pages are hosted on other non-.Mac servers.

  • Copy and Paste Stops working across the Mac OS X

    Recently I have been using my machine to connect to Windows XP machines using the RDC program (Mac equivilant of mstsc.exe) that Mircosoft provides.
    Whilst swtiching between applications on the host OS (Mac OS X 10.8) I found that my copy and paste functionaility across the whole OS appeared to stop working. A restart of the whole OS seem to resolve the problem, but when I dug a little deeper I found that it appears that once I terminated the RDC program the copy and paste functionailty came back. This also include any extented copy and paste functions within the Mac OS X eg, screenshots (cmd+ctrl+shift+3) and partial screenshots (cmd+ctrl+shift+4 very cool use it all the time).
    I just thought I'd add this issue to the Support forums in case other came across this problem, just one of those gotachas worth noting.
    Cheers
    Steve

    My keyboard stopped working and I recently installed a RDC program also.  I will try to uninstall it and see if that is the main source of the issue.   I will report back my findings for everyone else..

  • Which photoshop elements will work with a mac desktop v7.1 working on os 10.9.5

    I have a photoshop elements 11 which I purchased some time ago which has a disc for mac computers but will not load on my mid 70s (7.1) mac desktop which is running on the latest 10.9.5 maverick software can anyone give me advice on which elements addition will work on my Mac.

    That FAQ is merely the adobe official line. If you have a full version of PSE 6 for mac, it should work in 10.9, really.
