Elements 3 no longer works on iMac w/ OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)

As someone who only uses PhotoShop to make minor adjustments to digital pix, I have never felt the need to upgrade from Elements 3. As of yesterday it worked perfectly. Today when I try to Open a photo that command (and others) are grayed out on the drop down menu. I re-installed the software from the original disc but that didn't help. Any suggestions other than to bite the bullet and pay to upgrade?

Well, reinstalling was a mistake, since it's very hard to get PSE 3 to install correctly in 10.6, although it runs okay if it was installed before you upgraded OS X. What you can try is to go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
PSE 3 paths
PSE 3 settings
(I'm not sure the exact name of the last two--It might be Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 Paths or just Photoshop Elements 3 paths, for example)
Opera preferences
Repair permissions and see what happens. It's likely not to work anymore though, I'm afraid.

IPhoto 09 no longer works after Lion 10.7.3 upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8, so I upgrade iPhoto 11 but still not working.

Here is the first 24 lines of the User Diagnostic Report:

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

A P Elements 3 no longer works with win 7

A P Elements 3 no longer works with win 7, crashes when I click on preferences and no sound works in editor. So I want to upgrade but not seeing any dates with newer editions. Whats the oldest I can go to work with win 7 64 bit? Like maybe APE 10? Or maybe there is an update to fix 3?

I have Premiere Elements 4 through 13 on Windows 7 64 bit, and all are working fine.
You really do not want Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card.
And, 13/13.1 does not support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or OSX 10.7.
Do check System Requirement as well as computer resources.
How far are you getting with the Premiere Elements 3 install on Windows 7 64 bit? Depending on the answer to that question, have you been installing the 3.0.2 Update
after the 3 install?
Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.2 update
Have you right clicked the desktop icon for the program, if you got that far, and selected Run As Administrator?
When you are trying to get Premiere Elements 3 on Windows 7 64 bit, are you at least doing that by ignoring the "not compatible" messages and moving onward through
the installation dialogs as long as it will let you?
Please review and then let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

The Adobe email on my Elements 11 no longer works.

The Adobe email service on my Photoshop Elements 11 no longer works. I have had people tell me they are not getting my photos so I tested it by sending to two different email accounts I have. Nothing received. I checked the History tab in the Photoshop Elements Organizer and it lists the email with attachments as having been sent. This is a handy feature that I really want back. I upgraded from 10 to 11 about 8 months ago and will not be upgrading again if I can't get this feature to work again!
I have Windows 8.1 and use Windows Live email as my default. Since I am using Adobe's email service does my default email service have anything to do with the problem?
I do appreciate any assistance I can get.
Thank you,
Dwight Donnelly

Hi,
I solved my Adobe email service by changing my email address to another account and got a new verification code. I still do not understand why my other email account stopped working? Anyway I am back in business, at least for the time being!

Photoshop Elements 13, the iTunes "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" feature no longer works

Photoshop Elements 13, the iTunes "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" feature no longer works??? Is had worked with photoshop 9 pretty good? how can I enable this feature?
thx. francisco

I am experiencing the same problem after upgrading to PSE13, but haven't found a solution yet.
TomWoodbridge proposes a workaround, see Re: iTunes Photo Sync with PhotoShop Elements Fails after PSE Update
Another permanent workaround (which doesn't require to copy the pse database every time you want to sync) is described here: Elements 13: Cannot synchronise photo albums in iTunes after upgrading from Elements 11
Hope this helps.

I just installed the new mountain lion software on my iMac. I was currently running Snow Leopard. My problem is with my mouse. Now when I scroll down the page it moves in the opposite direction. I checked system S.P. - Natural for scroll feature.

I just installed the new mountain lion software on my iMac. I was currently running Snow Leopard. My problem is with my mouse. Now when I scroll down the page it moves in the opposite direction. In system preferences I tried checking and unchecking Natural for scroll feature. Movement from side to side works fine. Has anyone experienced this problem?

I think this new scrolling behaviour was introduced with Lion. You do get used to it pretty quickly (well I did). Are you sure that deselecting Natural Scrolling in Mouse Prefs doesn't re-instate the previous behaviour, it does here.

If you are trying to upgrade using a gray-faced OS X disk from another system, that won't work, as those disks are locked to the system types they are delivered with. You'll need to drop the $29 on a retail copy of Snow Leopard, which is available from the Apple online store. Note Snow Leopard requires 1GB minimum, and you may want at least 2GB for better performance.

If they are the grey discs which came with the iMac, then they will be machine specific and will not work on the MBP anyway. You will need to purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard from the Apple Store for about $29 and upgrade from that. I presume your MBP is Intel and not G4.
Good Luck

I have a 22" iMac desktop running OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard and it won't boot. I've tried shift start, option command P R. It's stuck at the restart, all I see is the spinning wheel below the apple logo. And I lost my OSX DVD is there any way to fix this? I just did a software update yesterday and have about 20GB left on my Hard drive. The last thing I did was try to install some plugin's for Pro Tools 8, but it wouldnt let me install so I restarted and now I'm screwed. Please Help!

You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying. If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:

Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities. In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs. You may need them.

Actually, you have a Late 2006 model iMac that can use a Maximum of 3 GB of RAM. See the link below. So you can use a 1 GB and a 2GB modules.

IMac 27 screen went blank installing snow leopard

My iMac 24 screen went blank installing snow leopard. Should I wait? I wish this **** machine ha a HDD light like a PC.

You can attempt to reset the PRAM in the machine, but it looks as though there's a hardware problem. It's actually kind of difficult to determine if it's the graphics hardware or the mainboard, but neither are really servicable. You'll want to take it to get serviced.

Forgot iMac master password, OS 10.6 Snow Leopard - next steps?

Forgot iMac master password, OS 10.6 Snow Leopard.
What procedure will allow me to establish a new password for my iMac desktop?

Boot from the install disk that came with the Mac, choose your language (you're not going to re-install the OS) and from the menu bar select Utilities and you should be able to reset the password from there. If you've lost your disks, have a look here:

Do you have a friend with an Intel Mac. If your MacBook and their Mac have firewire ports you can install by Target Disk Mode. You'll need a retail version of SL to do this with any Mac other than a MacBook.
Start up your friend's Mac with your install disk. After you get to the install screen on your friend's Mac connect your MacBook to your friend's Mac in "Target Mode"with a firewire cable http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Then open "Disk Utility" from the "Utilities Menu" on the Menu Bar from the install disk on your friend's Mac. You should see both your MacBook and your friend's Mac hard drives in there. Erase and partition your MacBook drive and then choose that drive when you go back to the install screen. Or install over your existing OS on your drive if you have applications you want to keep.
The only other way is to buy an external DVD drive on eBay. http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=firewire+external+dvd+drive&_sacat=0&LH_BIN=1&_ sop=15&_dmpt=Apple_Laptops&_odkw=usb+external+dvd+drive&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286. c0.m270.l1313 or at MacSales http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/optical-drives/
And of course be sure your Macbook meets the system requirements. To upgrade to Snow Leopard or install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor.
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing.
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended).
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer.
At least 5 GB of disk space available.
