Elements 4 crashing immediately after install on mac OSX 10.4.11, can anyone help ?

I have an infuriating problem with Elements 4 crashing immediately after an install on mac OSX 10.4.11, can anyone help ?
I was given the computer, which still had Elements 4 on it although it always crashed on opening, i removed the program and bought a 2nd hand hard copy of Elements 4 from eBay.
When i install the new copy it opens up with the "credits" but at the bottom right it still shows the past owners name as licensee briefly, then crashes before fully opening.
Does anyone know what is going on? I know it's an old version but i find elements4 perfect for my needs
Thankyou for reading.
Simon

More information needed. Are you saying you're just running the computer from the PO's user account? I would very strongly recommend erasing the disk and starting over with a fresh install of OS X for a number of reasons.

CS6 won't install on Mac OS 10.9.5, can anyone help?

Hi, I have downloaded CS6 (academic package) and tried to install, but I got this error message:
"Installer cannot be initialized".
Adobe Support Advisor (which I had to download from another source, as it's been discontinued) failed to identify the problem. I seem to have an intact version of CS6.
I did download Creative Cloud for a month (in the spring), but decided against subscribing, and deleted everything before the end of the trial month. Have tested with Adobe CS Cleaner Tool and checked that my version of Flash is current.
I have just paid for the academic version of CS6, have a serial number and would very much like to be able to use the programs!
Thanks for your help.

Jeff, there was nothing under logs/Adobe/installers. Instead, I had to scroll through "All reports" and find the log there. Under Adobe, I only found Reader updater and the CC Cleaner protocoll:
The protocoll for the installation attempt looks like this:

I had Photoshop CS2 on my PC. The PC died and I switched to MAC. I have the Photoshop CS2 installation CD. When I insert the disc the file to install on Mac isn't there. Can anyone help???

My question is the subject

The Mac will not install a Windows program unless you actually have Windows installed on your Mac.
Even if you had a CS2 Mac cdrom, it's only supported on the older PPC Macs, not the newer Intel Macs.
If you want the latest Photoshop, the $10 monthly Photography Plan is the best way to go.
As for the Windows cdrom, Photoshop CS2's activation servers are closed. Your serial number and disc are obsolete.

A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

I need a Ricoh SP 204SN printer driver for Mac OS X Mavericks. Can anyone help.

This is a few years old, but it's the best I can do. I stopped using Windows many years ago.
If you have specific questions, maybe I can answer, but remember I don't have access to any Windows newer than XP. I think setup will be similar, but I don't know if the Windows-side software will be compatible with W7 or W8.

My mac is freezing on start up. its brand new just opened for the first time. installed the updates and it froze. can anyone help?

My new mac is freezing on start up. after the initial start up, i did software updates and now its frozen. can anyone help?

If this is really a NEW Macbook Pro and this happened the first time you turned it on and did Software Updated then you need to take it back to where you bought it and RETURN IT FOR A FULL REFUND. Then decide whether to buy another NEW unit or move on to something else.
Apple has a No Questions Asked 14 day return policy. Take advantage of that and return this unit. This type of thing should NOT happen on a Brand new notebook.

PB suddenly crashes! Black screen. Wont turn back on. Can anyone HELP ???

Hello everyone!
My 16months old 12" PowerBook suddenly crashed last time when I was working with it. I didnt do anything particularly challenging. The PB didn't get extremely slow or anything. All of a sudden it just turned down within a second. and the display went black. By the way, it was not running on battery but over power cord.
Then right away after crashing there was this weird high-pitched sound coming from the backside of the PB. When I tried to turn it back on the sound muted, still the PB wouldn't go back on.
It felt as if it wast all the way shut down, and not really on either.
I tried the key combination shiftoption+applepower button (or whatever it was) to restart it, but it didnt work.
so I took off the power adapter cord, and took out the battery.
After putting the battery back in i was able to turn the PB back on.
All this happened 3 times now.
very weird and very frightening!! Does anyone have a clue?? Can anyone help???
PLEEEASE!!
thanx.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1.33 GHz, 512 MB, Mini-DVI

That's not much to go on, but here are a couple of guesses that may lead you in the right direction:
1) The high pitched noise could have been a fan dying, followed by the CPU overheating and the system shutting itself off to prevent damage. If you left it sitting for a couple of hours and it rebooted okay (or started to), and then crashed again shortly thereafter then it's probably a fan.
2) If now the system sounds and feels like it's booting up normally, but with nothing on the screen at all, the lamp (not sure what the technical term is) for the LCD could have gone bad. This happened to me a while back. If you have an external monitor available, try plugging it in and see if the machine comes up on that display.
Either way you're almost certainly going to want to take it in to be serviced. Best of luck!

Imessage won't work after amending apple ID and contacts are synced, can anyone help?

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can help. We have 5 apple devices in our household, an i pod touch, mini i pad, i pad and two i phones. We have a family apple ID address that we have just had to change and since changing this it has caused a problem in the two I phones. We have I cloud, but we have now lost the ability to use I message, also both my husband and I's contact lists have merged onto each others phones, it's almost as if his phone has taken clone ship of mine, changing all the names on my text messages to those of people we both have stored in contacts just under different titles. It's all very confusing and we have spent nearly 4 hours trying to sort it out, for something that was as simple as changing an apple ID we seem to have created a never ending problem! Can anyone please help? Thank you

Since writing this, I have now noticed after switching the device off and back on again that the only person that I cannot actually I message is my husband, is this because we have the same I cloud address?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 doesn't install on Mac OSX 10.10.2

Long story short: reinstalled OSX 10.10.2, lost Adobe Photoshop 11 in the process. Tried to reinstall the program via direct download via Adobe and various websites, as well tried to install via disc, only to receive the error: Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem. Is there anyway to get this program that I purchased to work on this? Or am I doomed to update?

Verdana font missing after install on Mac OSX 10.9.4 - won't run

I have just installed a trial of DreamWeaver on my MacBook Pro and I cannot get it to run. I receive the below every time I start DreamWeaver:
After checking Font Book I can see that I don't have Verdana installed. Any idea why? My Mac is fairly new and I can't think of any reason why it would not.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
I had the exact same issue. New MBP, new Adobe CC and I was getting the Verdana error.
I had recently installed Microsoft office and it looks like it moved some of my fonts from inside the library/fonts/ folder into a sub folder called "Microsoft".
Once I moved Verdana back into the main font folder dreamweaver is working fine again.
