Elements 6.0 startup trouble

I am running Windows Vista. Photoshop Elements 6.0 that came with my Wacom tablet is giving me trouble for the first time as I am trying to install it to a new computer. It is completely installed and is completely compatible with all of my system specifications, but when I try to open the program, it loads up then... nothing. No photoshop, no start screen, no anything.
I have installed this photoshop to several other computers. Please help! I have work I need to finish soon!

Try these options:
1) In the Organizer; under File->Catalog, select your catalog and click Optimize. OR
2) In the Organizer; under File->Catalog, select your catalog and click Repair. OR
3) Try rebuilding the thumbnails as per these steps:
3.1. In Help > System Info, find the folder containing your catalog.
3.2. Exit PSE.
3.3. In that folder, delete the file “thumb.5.cache”.
3.4. Restart PSE.
3.5. Edit > Select All.
3.6. Edit > Update Thumbnail.
Let us know.
Thanks,
Garry

Photoshop Elements opening on startup, despite having shut it down prior to closure.

I am running Elements 13 on a MacBook Air O SX Yosemite version 10.10.
After installation I encountered the following issues.
1)       Elements 13 Organiser application opened ok and transferred my photos from iPhoto.
2)       Elements 13 Application opened o.k
3)       Elements 13 Editor opened o.k
But latterly, when opening Elements 13 application after 1 second, the screen reverts to another copy of Elements 13 Organiser.
I have attempted to check the Installed files, to check if they are in the right location, cannot see any apparent issues.
Additionally on Start-UP Elements 13 starts automatically despite having quit the programme prior to closure.
Maybe if I completely re-installed Elements 13 the problems might go away.
Your earliest response would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards     David A Hullin

Barbara Hi!
Thanks for your quick response.
Sorry for the confusion regarding 2 Copies of Elements 13 Organiser.
What I intended to say is as follows:
On my Dock, after installing Elements 13, there are three adjacent Buttons for the Elements 13 Application from left to right:-
1 Elements 13 Organiser
2 Elements 13
3 Elements 13 Editor
MY ISSUES ARE:
1 Elements Organiser opens o.k.
HOWEVER:
2 Elements 13      (To import work from the Elements Organiser), the following happens:
This section of the application opens only briefly, (1.5 seconds, headed appropriately Elements 1 (But immediately reverts to a repeat copy of the Elements Organiser screen) which is activated by Button 1
Button 3 Elements 13 Editor (opens) O.K.
P.S   Initially the application was working O.K
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
David A Hullin

the screen reverts to another copy of Elements 13 Organiser.
What do you mean by this? There is only one copy of Elements 13 organizer installed on any mac.
I would start by deleting the preferences and the saved application states for PSE:

Photoshop Elements won't startup

Hello,
I spent a long time last night trying to start Photoshop Elements 4 (or 3 for that matter). The repetitive course was that it would proceed quite far into the startup until a blank but flickering dialog box appeared. From the on the only choice was a Forced Quit.
Several things that didn't work:
1) trashing any .plist files that I could find in ~/Library
2) reinstalling Elements 4
3) removing version 3
4) repairing permissions or verifying disk (no problems found)
5) removing cache files with Applejack
But 2 things would allow me to startup though I didn't try to do anything with the program
1) switching to another user (basically an untouched account)
2) "Safe" booting from startup and "safe" startup for my account.
So I think it's logical to assume that there is a conflict with something that is running at the time PE4 starts, something that is set to start automatically.
Before I collapsed I think that I found a Prime Suspect, the otherwise glorious QuickSilver utility (beta 50). At least it seemed to solve it last night.
I'm curious if other PE users are using (nearly) current versions of Quicksilver without problems.
Or other thoughts about this tedious story?
Thanks,
W R Glendon
G5 iSight iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Correct, that's exactly the acr plug-in I was referring to. And, how do you think I feel I bought my 1st mac (imac G5) 3 weeks prior to the intels being announced?
That'll learn me not to buy prior to a major Apple event. In fairness though I wouldn't have upraded the Gpu during purchase time anyway in anticipation for Aperture to run smoothly. Oh boy, will stick to iPhoto and PSE3 instead (and DPP just to see). BTW, are you Barbara, author of 'missing manual'?
I ask as I have Kelbys' book atm and struggling somewhat with it. How does your book compare in style to it? Here in Melbourne a large book store only held 2 copies of Kelbys at that, one 40km the other 250km away. Not sure if I could easily find yours. Could off course order it from the States but am somewhat old fashioned (or paranoid) about credit card and online. The Kelby edition I have now borrowed 10 times and owe enough library fines to have bought several copies.
Hmm, should I have asked this through an e-mail address you have? If it's a case of mistaken identity, my apologies and sorry for the rant.
W.RichardGlen, went a bit OT here and didn't mean to hijack your thread. Maybe shoot an e-mail or enter the discussion forum at the Adobe site.

Startup trouble - looking for startup disk

I've been experiencing occasional start up trouble for a few weeks, where my iMac takes a long time on the startup phase (getting stuck on a blank gray screen), and on 3 occasions it has just come up with a folder with blinking question mark (can't find startup disk) icon. When this happens, I hold my breath and manually restart, and so far it's then started right up (knock on wood). But obviously this is worrisome.
I did recently swap out some RAM (trading out one card from 1GB to 2GB), and since the Apple store no longer carries the appropriate RAM for my iMac (fall 2006), I can to buy it elsewhere, but that seemed to go fine... could it have affected my startup?
Another, probably unrelated issue, is that when I do start up successfully, or even come up from sleep, the computer now makes a big POP sound. I have a JBL "creature" amp with little speakers plugged into the computer, but it doesn't seem to be that - it's definitely an in-computer sound. Could the sound card be going bad, or somehow affected by the start up problem or the new RAM? I'm guessing it's an unrelated thing, but wanted to include as much info as possible.

Hi Jessamyn
Many times a connected External HD, iPod or other storage device can cause the startup manager to have a problem finding your startup volume, first disconnect all other storage devices to see if that helps. Second go to *System Preferences > Startup Disk* and select the *Mac OS X, 10.4 on Macintosh HD* click the lock and restart.
If you are still having a startup issue then use the following link for testing and repairing your startup disk: > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1018.html

Photoshop Elements 8 Welcome Screen trouble

I am having trouble with my welcome screen. It just keeps saying gathering information. How can I get the information back on my welcome screen. like how much storage I have available.
E-mail [email protected]

You could go directly to the web site for Photoshop.com, log in and check your storage limit.
Sometimes you get locked out of the program if you exceed the storage limit.

Startup trouble

Hi,
I have a problem with starting my NW2004s system after a sytem copy
Startsap reports the instance has been started and the databade is also up.
But I cannot start the gui, says connection refused.
The sappfpar does not report any errors.
How do I go about trouble shooting. Where do i start?
Thanks in advance

Hello Shabnam,
Can you please provide the information of your SAP , OS and database that you are using for Nw04s.
Incase if you are working with Unix flavour -
then fire the cmd-> ps -ef | grep sap . And you will get all the processes related to SAP (incase if it is running).
Incase if your on having Windows -OS then please go to task manager and in that go to processess tab and there you should find certain process with name disp+work , jlaunch , in the name of <sidadm> - so this indicated that atleast your SAP system is runnning.
Regards,
Prem

PowerBook 145B Startup Trouble

So I have this PowerBook 145B. It will start up with the regular startup sound and a slight click on the speaker, and the drive stays spinning, but the screen stays blank. The pointer is on the screen and can be moved by the trackball, but nothing happens. I tried putting in the 'Disk Tools' disk to troubleshoot at startup, but the computer won't read it.
Any ideas as to what I can do?
All I really want is to get the data I need off the computer. I only know of one place that can help me do this in New York--Tekserve--and that's if the computer is working. I had a BAD experience there and don't want to go back. The computer is so old that the guys at the Mac Store couldn't help me transfer the data when I bought my new iBook.
Any advice on how to fix the startup problem, or advice on where to go for repair/help (I live in New York) would be very appreciated. Thanks a lot.
PowerBook 145B Other OS

Very good!
At this point, if the computer will let you start from the internal hard disk (with or without holding down the Shift key), I recommend that you immediately save (copy) at least the most important files to one or more floppies.
It would not be a bad idea to verify the hard-disk structure via Disk First Aid on the Disk Tools floppy (repair if errors are reported).
It is also possible that the hard disk drive driver software needs to be updated. To do so, use the update function in Apple HD SC Setup. Do NOT initialise the hard disk.
Since you have access to an external (USB) floppy drive for the iBook, a transfer via diskettes is probably going to be the easiest way. Files larger than approx. 1.3 MB can be segmented, if necessary.

Weird startup trouble - system not properly initializing.

Hi guys, I'd appreciate any help you can give.
The trouble is that the system isn't properly starting up. I haven't changed anything since it last booted properly except for a pacman -Syu system upgrade.
http://imageshack.com/a/img36/4375/0dse.jpg
I tried fixing the "dirty bit" in /dev/sdb1 (my boot partition), but it has since come back. How am I supposed to check systemctl logs if I don't have a working system?? Why, systemd, why?
Anyway, what should I do to diagnose the problem?

There seem to be a number of possibilities. If you search the forums, you can follow up the leads which match the possibilities on your system e.g. it seems to depend on file system, maybe blocksize, various fs settings/tunables, etc.
As a side note, journalctl apparently doesn't work on a live USB under those circumstances.
What error did you get? And did you direct it at the journal? Or did you try to chroot?

Photoshop Elements 9 disc - activation trouble and program access

This also goes for my Premiere Elements 9 since both it and the Photoshop came in the same package.
I was going through technical issues where the motherboard on my Windows laptop was fried and then replaced, so I installed PSE9 on a temporary computer until I got mine back. During that time the disc got passed around amongst my family, but when my laptop came home I uninstalled the program on all of our computers - after discovering I could no longer access it on mine, and "deactivation" was not an option because the program wouldn't open for me to do it; and, on the rare occasion it did, the area was grayed out - anyway, after all that chaos and string of uninstalling, I finally got around to reinstalling PSE9 and PE9 on my original computer.
The welcome screens will open, but when I try to get into the program I get the "Activation limit has been reached" message. "This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." Ok, I get that it's been activated more than once, but how do I deactivate something that's been uninstalled??? How do I fix this? Would taking my computer back to factory settings do the trick? I'd like to avoid that if possible, though. Please help. I'm going crazy trying to find an answer. Thank you for your time.

Photoshop elements 9 organizer startup

when i start photoshop elements organizer it automatically brings up all of my pictures in the workspace. this takes a lot of time to load because i have thousands of pictures. i have looked in preferences and cannot find something that lets me select what is brought up when starting photoshop elements organizer. how can i change this so the workspace is not automatically populated with all the pictures?

Open the Organizer and click the display button (near top right) then change to Folder Location View.
Only photos from a selected folder will be shown.
If you prefer, you can select to show the last batch of photos imported and earlier import batches.

Adobe Premiere Elements 9 AVI file trouble

I recently had to re-install Adobe Premiere Elements 9.0 to my new hard drive.
All of a sudden I am no longer able to import AVI files.
I have done this literally thousands of times in the past and now I am prevented from doing so.
There is probably a simple fix and I'm not sure about Codecs nor do I need to learn about them,
I just want to import some simple AVI clips. help. HELP. HELP ME PLEASE before I go mad
(I am a windows user)

LucyC
Thanks for getting back to us on this issue.
Based on what you just wrote, let explore the following direction for the troubleshooting. If this approach works, great; if not, we think about this some more.
If you say that these untouched .avi files are from the Canon Powershot, I am guessing that they probably are MotionJPEG.avi. That MotionJPEG video compression can be a nuisance to deal with at times. Sometimes it appears that the matter is more the availability of this video codec to the project rather than its absence in the system.
Did the Canon Powershot come with a utility that you had installed on the old hard drive? And, did you reinstall that utility after the hard drive replacement? If not, that is a consideration. Some believe use of the camera's utllity is a way around the Premiere Elements MotionJPEG issue when it pops up.
Another approach would be to download and install the tryout Morgan MotionJPEG codec (for now for troubleshooting purposes) so that we can rule that aspect of the issue in or out.
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/audio_video/codecs/morgan_m-jpeg_codec.cfm
We will be watching for your follow up when you get a chance.
By the way, did you remember to reinstall the 9.0.1 Update for version 9?

Startup trouble, won't update and says "operating system not found"

So when I tried updating to the new thunderbolt update thingy (yes I know, VERY late but I kept forgetting to update it and I didnt have time) it didnt start up because it said "operating system not found" after 30 mins of looking around for tips to reboot they didnt work,
I troed rebooting and it worked, and I followed the instructions to "download Mac OS X Lion" again. But it wont redownload because this reason:
"You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed."
I have tried everything and since I downloaded the thunderbolt REALLY late I dont think anyone else had had this problem.
Help me please?

G5 startup trouble

Like an idiot, I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum the first time...here goes...
Ok here's the deal...
Using the computer last night, it freezes up while using Safari. I try to force quit. Nothing. Turned it off by holding down the power button. Waited about a minute and turned it back on.
It got to the grey Apple startup screen, did a few revolutions of the spinning wheel at the bottom an then just shut itself down. Just like that, no error messages or anything.
I've tried holding down the eject key in the hopes that I could slip a startup CD. Tried holding down 'C' to get it to boot off the DVD drive. Tried zapping the pram. Tried holding down shift to turn off extensions. Tried praying to every deity I had ever heard of.
Nothing.
Any thoughts?
I am (well, was) running 10.4.4 on a single processor 1.8 GHz G5.

Same thing happened to me a few months ago, and Hartz pointed me in the right direction.
1. Make sure you have the latest update of Safari.
If you do and it still happens,
2. From MacFixit:
One of the most interesting pieces of feedback to the report came from MacFixIt reader Wes Palmer, who found out a specific way to reproduce the issue with a high level of consistency and a workaround based on that information.
Wes writes: "With Etherpeek running, I was able to force the failure by doing repeated reloads of a particular page in FireFox. It never took more than 6 reloads to fail. Every single time, the last DNS packet received was for js.adsonar.com. I was then able to force a failure outside of FireFox using that address and ping. I added an entry to /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 js.adsonar.com
"to avoid any DNS queries of that site and have been unable to force a failure since. I'm out of time this morning, so haven't been able to confirm these results with a lot of certainty, but so far they seem consistent and repeatable."
The method for modifying the /etc/hosts entry to disable access to the host js.adsonar.com -- a company that hosts ads used on several Web sites -- as indicated above by Wes is as follows:
Enter the following command in the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities) and press return:
sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/hosts
This will open the /etc/hosts file in the TextEdit application.
Add the line:
127.0.0.1 js.adsonar.com
to the end of the file (under hosts) and save. You'll be running in root at this point, so quit TextEdit immediately and do not modify any other files.
Launch your favorite Web browser and check for persistence of the issue.
