Elements 9 for Mac OS thumbnails appear as hourglass. How to fix?

I've tried updating all and this just caused all 5000+ photos to turn into thumbnails. Help!

Try pressing F5 to refresh the thumbnails. If that doesn’t work delete the file called:
thumb.5.cache
To find it navigate to:
/Users/[your user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Elements Organizer/Catalogs/My Catalog/

Installing Elements 8 for Mac from disc: don't know how to do it

I got Elements 8, in both PC and Mac versions, bundled with a Canon printer. I gave my friend the PC version, which worked wonderfully for her. I tried to install my version, but no Install screen came up, so I can't see how to go from here. Can you help?

Kpknight36 I am not sending the authorities to your house but typically you have one software license for your use. I am not sure of the End user license agreement which was provided by Canon. You may want to consult the documentation which came with your printer.

Save for Web does not open dialog box in PS Elements 8 for Mac

After opening an image and selecting Save for Web, the Save for Web dialog box fails to appear. I've seen similar reports for PS Elements 6 for Mac, but did not find the same files in those directories. Running iMac with OS 10.6.

There are many things that only work in an admin account, but if you're willing to take the trouble, you can change the permissions to allow them to work in a standard account. See:

Note that it's pretty important to run Save for Web one time in the admin account after changing the permissions or it still won't work in the standard account.

File menu bug in Elements 8 for Mac

I recently purchased Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac. While the software overall works very well, I noticed a bug which has now started hampering my work. Out of the blue, 'Open', 'Open New Blank File' and 'Browse with Bridge' in the file menu become grey (disabled) and shotrcuts for opening files (Command-O and Command-N) or clicking on the open new file icon yield no result. Preferences menu cannot be accessed as well. As per the software license, I installed Elements on an iMac running OS 10.5.8 and on my MacBook running OS 10.4.11 I am having this problem on both :-( The menus do appear but intermittently. Any help to fix this bug would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I got it!!!!!
It's a clipboard related problem! Whenever I copy an image (a vector image or graphic specifically) from any application, New 'Image from Clipboard' option (in the file menu) gets enabled in Elements 8 and due to it, all menus relating to opening a new file get disabled including, strangely, preferences. Somehow Elements assumes that the new file/image will be the same as the one in the clipboard. The moment I copy any text in any application (so that the clipboard does not have any graphic in it), the disabled Elements menus get enabled! It seems Elements 8 does not support vector graphics perhaps that's why..

Problems with effects in Elements 6 for Mac.

The answer is in the thread you already created, christine:

Cannot not SETUP my Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac

When I try to setup my Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac the following popup appears: "Java script alert, Critical errors were found in setup/incompatible payloads already installed/please see the setup log file for details." What am I suppose to do?

Manually remove any existing bits of adobe programs that you can find (don't forget to check places like library>application support), then run this:

before trying the install again.

How to find Printer preferences in Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac?

Does anyone have an idea where or how to access the printer preferences or dialog box through Elements 8 for mac? I have an Epson R2880 and am trying to access the printer preferences to be able to change the paper type, print in B/W or choose different things. I am able to access this on Elements 8 for Windows but not for Mac, does it exist or am I looking in the wrong place?

After you click Print in the PSE print window, the OS X print window appears. You may need to click the arrow to the right of the printer's name to expand the dialog box to see the menus, but you'll find the paper/ink settings in the pulldown menu in the middle of the larger window.

Elements 6 for Mac - System Requirements

I currently have a Power PC Mac (OSX 10.4.11) on which I run Elements 4 for Mac.
I have on order an Intel Core 2 Duo Mac which will have OSX 10.5.5.
Elements 4 will not run on the Intel Core 2 Duo Mac because it appears to be for Power PC Macs only.
The System Requirements for Elements 6 appears to indicate that it will only run on OS 10.4.8 through 10.5.2.
Unless I am missing something fundamental it appears that there is no version of Elements which I will be able to run on my new Mac computer.It seems strange that the latest incarnation of Elements for Mac will not run on the latest operating system.
Am I understanding the position correctly ?
D J Hales (UK)

I have installed PSE 6 on my mac with 10.5.6. I installed on the admin account and it works fine on that account, however, it does not work completely on the primary account - the effects, themes, layouts, etc. do not appear on the left hand side, just the boxes for them. Any ideas? I did uninstall and reinstall on the primary account, still no success.
Thanks. S. Dobe

Loading .gif animations into Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac

For years I used Photoshop Elements 2 for Windows to make .gif animations with great success.
Then I switched to a Mac and bought Elements 8 for Mac. Now, I am finding out that I can not load any
of the animations I made using Elements 2 into 8. (And yet I can load animations I made using 8 into 2.)
In fact, I can not load any .gif animations into 8, other than if I make one and save it
as .psd. 8 allows me to make them, but not load them as .gifs.
My question: Is there an easy way to load .gif animations into PS Elements 8 so a
person can work on the individual frames? Am I going to have to convert any .gif animation I
want to import into 8 first into .psd? All I seem to get when I try to load a .gif is the message
"This is an animated gif. You can only view one frame." I have searched manuals and the
Net looking for a specific method of using PSE8 to load gif animations intact (not just one frame).
Is it possible? Thanks. (I also have noticed that Elements 8 will not allow me to change the frame
speed -- it is unchangeable at .2)

Dear Ms. Brundage -
I followed the directions detailed in your blog entitled "Moving a Catalog from Windows to Mac" as well as your description of the process on page 58 of your book "Photoshop Elements 9 - the missing manual."
I installed PE9 for Windows and converted my catalog. I then backed up that catalog to an external hard drive. I then connected the hard drive to my MAC on which I also installed Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC. I opened the Organizer and tried to restore that converted catalog. However, for each file in the converted catalog, a dialog box opened that said "Could not restore file: /Volumes/Name of External Hard Drive/Filename.JPG."
I then made a second backup of the converted catalog using Photoshop Elements 9 for Windows and then tried to restore that catalog again on the MAC using Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC, again to no avail.
Do you have any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks again.

Where can I get a copy of elements 8 for mac

Suddenly, when I try to open Elements 8 for Mac I get the message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I tried repairing it using Support's nine suggested solution. None worked.
I no longer have my original DMG file I downloaded (don't ask me why). I do have the serial number in my Adobe account so I can install and run another copy. But, I need a copy. Where can I get one without paying a second time for it?
I'm happy with PSE 8 and feel no pressing need to upgrade. I just want back what I had before this sudden development.
Thanks.
Terry

I really appreciate the link. Unfortunately, it says a copy is no longer available for Mac OSX. Do you know if I can still get one somewhere else from Adobe? It's their product that failed me. I'm going to switch to Acorn, a nice low-priced full featured PSE alternative. I already use Lightroom for my photography but need graphic design capabilities for my website, business cards, etc.
Thanks.
Terry

Can you do Green Screen/Blue Screen/Chroma Key on Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for mac?

Can you do Green Screen/Blue Screen/Chroma Key on Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for mac? If not, what are the alternatives?

JimbobT
ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, and BlueScreen Key are not included in Premiere Elements Mac.
Some suggest Videomerge as the alternative. I do not. But Videomerge is not THE alternative.
Instead, I prefer the Difference Matte as a substitute for the 3 absent keying effects. Please check out my blog post on that which includes
the how to.
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-difference-matte-as-substitute-for.html
The suggestion has met with good results according to the feedback that I have gotten to this.
I am strictly a Premiere Elements Windows user who does not prefer Videomerge even in Windows.
Please review, consider, and let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac OS X don't install

Hi, I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac OS X. My system currently is

Is anybody use LR with Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac ?

I've just bought Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac on a PM G5 (OS 10.5.2). PSE works but LR don't find it as external editor. I have done what is the Knowledge Base, I've deleted all adobe products (and all related files in /Library an home/Library) and reinstall only PSE 6 and LR 1.3.1 .
In KB, they tell that LR uses a com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist but PSE 6 creates a com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist (without a dot between Photoshop and Elements). I've tried to duplicates this file but that does not work.
I don't understand why LR does not provide a way to specify where Photoshop (or Elements) is. I don't know what to do now.

For some reason Adobe decided to change the bundle name for the PSE6 application from com.adobe.photoshop.elements to com.adobe.PhotoshopElements. This change is also reflected in the Preferences file names.
Lightroom (1.3.1 and 1.4) seem to use the MacOS core services to find PSE - but use the com.adobe.photoshop.elements (and com.adobe.photoshop for full PS) bundle names.
The immediate fix, if you're handy with a hex editor, is to go into the Lightroom application bundle, find the file AgEditExternally.lua and patch the string "com.adobe.photoshop.elements" in the file so it becomes "com.adobe.PhotoshopElements" (remember a null terminator and make a copy of the file first!).
If that's Greek to you then either live with it and wait for an official fix or set up Elements 6 as the 'Additional External Editor'.
