Elements and Macbook

I have Elements 8 on my macbook and Lightroom 4. I am looking to upgrade to Elements 12 and may get the one with Premire. It says requires multcore intel processor 64 bit and mine says intel duo processor. I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 but planning on doing upgrade to mountain lion. Hoping someone has the time to tell me if all will run. Also any benefit over buying full versions over upgrades. They are close to same with Black Friday deals.
Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MB61.00C8.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.51f53
Hard Drive Capacity :         249.72 GB (249,715,376,128 Bytes)
Free Space :         184.12 GB (184,116,461,568 Bytes)
Used : 65.6 GB (65,598,914,560 Bytes

Honestly, I'm not sure that 10.8 would run well on your hardware. Before buying PSE 12, I'd make a good clone of your current operating system to an external hard drive using something like SuperDuper, then upgrade to mountain lion and see how you like it before investing in additional software. With a clone you can always easily revert to your old system if you don't like it.
The black friday price for PSE is likely to be available again fairly regularly from now on, from big box stores and online retailers, so I wouldn't let that push you into making these decisions. You may find some hardware compatibility issues, you know, with scanners or printers after upgrading, so give mountain lion a good test drive before committing yourself.
FWIW, 4 GB of ram is not much for newer versions of OS X. My two year old macbook has 16 GB, for example. I had an imac with specs similar to yours and since I must run the latest versions of OS X and PSE, a couple of years ago I found it got fairly unsatisfactory, enough for me to buy a new computer. But try it and see how it works for you.

I replaced PC with MACbook, can I download my Elements and Lightroom or do I need to repurchase?

I replaced my PC which is broken and no longer usable with a new Macbook Pro. I would like to download my Elements and Lightroom in the Mac OS version. Can I do this or do I need to repurchase. I just bought the Elements in August 2014 and the Lightroom in 2013.
Thanks so much
Teresa

you do not need to re-purchase. both those are cross-platform products so you just download the mac installation files and use your mac serial numbers to install on your mac.

Need help installing Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on MacBook Pro.

I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on my MacBook Pro. The disc is appearing on my desktop, but when I go to use the installation system, it's telling me the program is not supported. Here is what I'm seeing when I open the disc:
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Which version of mac os x are you using?
That looks like the install files for a windows operating system.
You would need the photoshop elements 6 disk for a mac operating system.

Elements and Lightroom installed in Mac Mini. Do I need to buy separate products for my MacBook?

I have purchased Photoshop Elements and Lightroom and installed them in my table Mac. Now I'm going on travelling and would need them with me also in my laptop (MacBook Pro). Is there any chance to update my current purchases so that I could use the programs also in my laptop, or do I have to buy separate products for this? Could not find an easy way to do this. Thanks!

I don't know about Lightroom, but PSE allows you to have activated installations on two computers, so you're good there. Just install it on the laptop.

Traveling in my RV with my iMac and MacBook

I am leaving Wednesday for a 2 week trip in my RV and usually only take my MacBook. I am currently taking video lessons for Photoshop Elements and it's so much easier to do when I am running the video on one machine and doing the lessons on the other. It also makes for a much more satisfying learning experience.
My QUESTION: Will my iMac travel well (without damage)? When I am in motion I will have it shut down and laying face down on my bed. I know the iMac's weren't designed in the same manner as laptops and are not MEANT for travel, but short of having an accident which would inflict damage to more than just computers, I can't see it would hurt the iMac. I would greatly appreciate all of your knowledgeable feedback.
Thanks, CJ

Thanks JGG. I took a spin around the site. It was all a little over my head. From what I saw, the equipment was for powering a computer in a vehicle from the batteries. I rarely, if ever, use DC to power my computer. And when I do, I have a Kensington Ultra Portable Power Inverter 150 (Model # K33362US) that has an output of 120W Continuous Power and 150W Peak Power. This device has served me well with other electrical appliances as well.
If there is something I'm missing here, please educate me. The last thing I want to do is fry my machines while I'm out tooling up and down the highway.

How can I safe my data back from the Time capsule to iphone and macbook?

Hi,
last weekend we were robbed while being on vacation and iphones and macbook air got stolen. Good thing was that at home we had a time capsule and our normal macbook. As soon as we get the new iphones and the new airbook we want to get our itunes and apps and datas back to the iphones and airbook ... can somebody tell us how to re-safe or back-safe stuff from the time capsule back to the equipment?
Thank you ... I feel so "naked" without my phone :-(
Virtualkate

Sorry about your loss. Follow the directions here to use Time Capsule to restore your new Air to the state your old Air was in when stolen. When you first connect your new phones, you'll be given the option of restoring from the backup of your old phones or setting up as new. Restore from your previous backups, followed by syncing your content back to your phones. You should be good to go. Maintaining current backups makes this a piece of cake.

IPhone iOS 7 and Macbook Air Mavericks, deleting hotmail emails to POP folder! Help!

I have an iPhone using the iOS 7 and a Macbook Air using Mavericks (although I'm not sure how relevant this is) and both are set up to receive and send emails to my hotmail account.. Every so often (I think a month or so) I check my emails on either device to find that my hotmail emails have been deleted from my device. When I then log on to hotmail's website, they have been moved to a POP folder, so I then have to move my emails to my inbox and the phone and macbook start receiving them again, very strange! I assume somewhere the settings are wrong, on either my macbook or phone (or possibly hotmail itself). If you have any ideas, please help me, it's getting very annoying!
Thanks!

Hey lkpolovchik,
Thanks for the question. Yes, you can continue to use iCloud Contacts, Calendars and other services with OS X Mavericks and iOS 8 devices. Only some features require iOS 8. For a full list of minimum system requirements by feature, check out the following resource:

Iphone and ipad can find network, iMac and macbook 10.8.2 cannot

Had a network fault. When fault was fixed, ipad/iphone & Dell studio xps laptop reconnected automatically. Imac 2012 and macbook 2010, 10.8.3, can see network but not connect automatically. Tried connecting to network and get message connection timeout has occurred.
Got connection by;
Open Network preferences
Join other network
enter network name select - Security wpa2 personal
enter network password
However - I need to do this after every sleep/reboot - is there a fix for this?
PS - I noted that I had previously been on WEP security setting and had real problems connecting to external devices consistently, such as epson wireless printer BX935FWD, and Western Digital My Book Live Duo. Since moving onto WPA2, these connection now work consistently, but macbook and imac always need to be forced to connect to network, in manner described above
Does anyone share a similar problem/managed to resolve network issues? - very frustrating.....must be an OSX issue as all other devices connect without issue.

I've managed to download 10.8.2 for my MBP Retina 13.3" but when I try and install I'm told that none of my discs are suitable i.e. Internal solid state drive with 370 GB available, or attached thunderbolt drive. Meanwhile my iPhoto won't work. This has arisen because I migrated from an older MBP which was already running 10.8.2 and had latest iPhoto onto a factory fresh 10.8.1 machine.

I want to have all my music on my iphone and macbook (and pc if possible) but when I try to synchronise I am told I will lose any music from my iphone which is not on my macbook (there is much more on my iphone than my macbooK). How do I keep all my downloaded and copied music and have it available on both machines (plus pc if possible)?

The music sync is one way only - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases: Without syncing: File>Transfer Purcahses
The iphone will sync with only one copmptuer at a time. Sycning with another will erase the current content of the iphone and replace it with content from the new computer.

What do i do with a very slow Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on a PC?

I seem to be getting mixed opinions as to why my Adobe software gets so slow, despite efforts to avoid that, but my computer seems to be working just fine, it is only when in Adobe that the problems arise, like freezing, taking longer and longer periods of time to open the screen to edit a photo, or to compare two photos side by side. Any process seems to take such a long time, and the freezing can last for several minutes, and then continue on. I have had a computer person come to my house and examine my computer and though his knowledge of Photoshop is limited, he feels that it is NOT the computer but something with Adobe Photoshop. I would tend to agree with him.
Several theories have been explained to me, such as Elements and Premiere Elements are a low end of the scale of Photoshop programs, so it is just not going to be able to process high definition large photos well and quickly. Stating comments like i can only use 2 GB of my memory even though i have 8 GB, so unless i can use 64 bit this is what i have to deal with, and it is just a way for Photoshop to say you need to upgrade to the fancier programs. I do not need fancier programs. I am working hard to master these, and have accomplished 4 great blu rays in high definition thanks to recommendations from the Forum here, especially Steve with the help of his books.
Others say i need a solid state hard drive to solve the problem. Others say the only way i will ever solve the problem is to switch to a MAC. Others state is a mal-ware problem, but i have never had my hard drive so clean and uncluttered. I supposedly have as good of PC as i could have as far as QUAD-core, 8GB memory, presently a 1 TB hard drive less than 1/2 full. All suggestions involve big outlays of money, with no guarantee that things will be any better. I have tried to contact different computer companies and computer 'nerds', and these are some of the suggestions, but no one really has a lot of knowledge of the Photoshop software.
I am thinking of adding an additional internal hard drive, but not sure that is going to help either. Could i put all my Photoshop of the second hard drive, and might that speed things up?
Adobe is rather worthless in trying to get help from them. I have spent hours on the phone waiting and then talking to someone who says they understand English but they do NOT understand the question i am asking, which becomes very frustrating with repeat phone calls. I gave up yesterday trying to do that challenging experience yesterday after i had spent 3 times the amount of time they said i would need to wait to get a reply, and i was at work, and my free time had come to an end. So i am hoping you guys can give me some clues of the best thing to do.
Is it true that Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements are just such a lower end program that trying to do things in high definition, with 2000x1500 photos, making them into a blu ray disc is a major challenge with a PC? I wish i had a greater computer knowledge, but i have struggled to achieve my goal, but the speed of it all gets very frustrating, though it is possible.
Another question asked which i don't think exists, is whether there is a program that could clean up Photoshop, or are there some clues that could accomplish that and thereby speed things up.
Would appreciate any suggestions anyone has. I am in the middle of another project so now is probably not the best time to consider any major changes. But any comments would be appreciated.

Premiere Elements 10 is now 64 bit, but not PSE10.
Take a look at your scratch disk set-up and if you have a spare volume, allocate that first before the C drive. Elements use scratch disks when it gets low on RAM.

Pages won't sync between iPad and Macbook

I cannot get my pages to sync between iPad and Macbook.
I regularly go back and forth between the two because it's easier to read/edit on iPad and easier to type/copy-paste web info on Macbook.
I'm finding right now that I have done a multitude of edits on my iPad that are not showing up at all when I open the same document on my Macbook.
I have closed the document on my iPad so I expected there to be no problems when I opened it on my Macbook.
Not sure why or what to do....?

I had this issue too - I have been playing around with it for a few days - turns out you need to save the documents on your mac not under "documents" but rather under "Pages - iCloud" (or "Keynote - iCloud" etc.). After doing this, the document appears on my phone, iPad, iCloud.com etc. with the changes.
One way to do this is by clicking the dropdown arrow (it shows up when you mouse over the title) to the right of the title of your document on the grey title bar (the thing at the top of the page - above insert, table, chart etc.) and then editing the "where" column.
Hope this helps! If it isn't clear enough, please let me know!

Photostream not working on iPhone 4, but works on iPad and macbook pro

Hi there,
I've read in the community there have been similiar problems with photostream, and been going trough various answers. None have been helpful unfortunately.
I have photostream working on my iPad 2 (via 3G) and Macbook Pro. But can't get it to work on my iPhone 4 (also on 3G).
Anyone who have had the same problem who can help me here?
Regards, e.
ps. Read that photostream works only on WI-Fi... but how come it works on my iPad via 3G in that case? And I connect my macbook online via internet tethering trough my iPhone.

Hello Matt,
It sounds like you are not able to access iTunes from your iPhone 4 using Home Sharing, but you can from your iPad. I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

How do I change the name I have called my MacBook Air so I can add 11" and 13" into the title of whose computer this is for more clarity when I set up Time Machine and save to it with both computers? Both are named with "my name and MacBook Air"

I'm still learning the whole Mac thing but these are great machines! I purchased a MacBook Air 13" and then thought I should also get a MacBook Air 11" for travel. When I set it up at the Apple store I told the assistant the exact same name for each machine, i.e., "my name and MacBook Air." What I want to do is go back in and rename both of them adding the 11" and 13" designation to the name so that when I set up Time Machine or whatever else I know exactly which machine is what. I'm sure it is very simple but I cannot seem to figure it out. Help please. Thanks.

Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.
Matt
