Elements won't open Elements file for students

We have a class full of students using Premiere Elements 8. All their files were saved to a network drive.  When we go to open their project we get the following message:
"Projects created with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Premiere Elements are not compatible.  Please use the appropriate application to open this project.
We don't have Pro installed at all so unsure why it would think that.  Files have not been moved.  Kids are on the same machine (HP E8000 running XP).
Help - kids are getting frustrated and I'm not sure how to help them.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, PrE (and PrPro too) does not work well in a networked environment. It wants to see certain files locally. This is a real problem with an academic lab situation. I would first contact Adobe (link at top of page), and then I would file a Feature Request. I have done so in the past, but the more from academicians the better.
For a few lab situations, Adobe has been able to help get things set up, so that they work, at some level, on a network.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Help please!Photoshop Elements 8 editor won't open any files (windows 7)

    I have Photoshop elements 8 for my windows 7 laptop. I updated my laptop and now Photoshop won't open any files. I click on the psd/jpeg/png that i want to open(file,open) and nothing appears in the editor. even if i try by double clicking it the editor will show up but no file.i have tried restarting the laptop but it still wont work. I can't uninstall photoshop because it came pre-installed on my laptop and no disc or installer came with it. If anyone can please help me i'd be very gratefull.

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift. Keep those keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • In which folder i should put eps parser.8by in elements 13, to open eps files??

    I have to be able to open eps.files in photoshop elements. it worked fine in 9, it did'nt occur to me that in newer versions you get less in stead of more..i regret buying it now
    So: in which folder i should put epsparser.8by in elements 13, to open eps files??

    Unfortunately, that EPS Parser.8BY only works in the 32 bit version of photoshop elements 13.
    If your windows system is 64 bit, then you would have the 64 bit version of photoshop elements 13 and the EPS Parser.8BY is an 32 bit plugin and won't work in the 64 bit version of pse 13.
    (i don't believe you can install the 32 bit version of pse 13 on a 64 bit windows system)
    So the solution would be to keep pse 9 and use it for things that pse 13 won't do.
    What features from previous versions are not available in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?
    Also, from the release notes
    Following file formats are no longer supported in Photoshop Elements and the corresponding files will not be imported into the new catalogs:
    JPEG 2000, Filmstrip (FLM), Wireless BMP (WBM, WBMP), PCX, Targa (TGA, VDA, ICB, VST), Photoshop RAW (RAW), PICT File (PCT, PICT), Scitex CT (SCT), Photoshop EPS (EPS), EPS TIFF Preview (EPS), Generic EPS (AI3, AI4, AI5, AI6, AI7, AI8, PS, EPS, AI, EPSF, EPSP).
    In addition, on Mac OS following formats are no longer supported: IFF Format, Photoshop 2.0, Alias PIX, PICT Resource

    Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

     
    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
    Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.
    You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

  • How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my Canon 70d?

    How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my canon 70d?

    Normally, if there are any updates for your version of PSE then they should be offered to you automatically.  However, you can also check if there are any new updates by going to:
    Help >> Updates
    If your camera is relatively new then even by getting the updates you may not be able to edit raw files from the new camera because old versions of PSE are normally not updated as soon as the new version hits the market.  We are currently at version 13 so version 10 was stopped long time ago.  However, you can see a workaround at this link where I posted a video to get things moving:
    <Why can't I open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 ?? I can open RAW files from my old Nikon D70's but not my D7000...>
    Hope this helps.

  • I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30

    I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30.
    This is Photoshop Elements 8, and I have the original disc with serial number so I can re-install that.
    The probelm is I'd need to de-cactivate the serial number before un-installing, and I need to open the programme to do that.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Okay, I've found that this is a recognised problem.

    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
    and all the solutions tell me to find the folder FlexNet Publisher in my library.
    Problem is FlexNet Publisher doesn't seem to exist there. Can't find it anywhere on my hard drive.
    Gettting down to the end of that page gives me the following info....
    The FlexNet folders and files required to run Adobe applications can become corrupted or have permission problems if moved from one machine to another. They can also be damaged through a Time Machine system restore. FlexNet service licensing failures cannot be resolved by reinstalling the application or by using the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool. If permissions issues prevent the FlexNet licensing service from launching, accessing data, or communicating with Adobe processes, a licensing failure occurs.
    Well it looks like backing everything up using Time Machine may have caused all this problem. Anyone know how to get Flexnet Publisher back?

  • Elements 13 wont open raw files from Nikon d750

    Elements 13 wont open raw files from Nikon d750 camera, wont update either from the help menu, any ideas what to do.

    carper
    According to Adobe document, you require installation of at least Camera Raw 8.7 for your Nikon 750 for your Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    And, I believe based on the following that Photoshop Elements 13 Premiere Elements 13 ships with Camera Raw 8.6.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Consequently, the solution appears to revolve around getting the Help Menu/Updates to work since there is no manual install of Camera Raw 8.7 for 13.
    Until the Premiere Elements update problem is resolved, you may have to resort to using the Nikon software. There is also the DNG 8.7 Converter
    which you can download from Adobe link, not requiring the Help Menu/Update as does Camera Raw 8.7.
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7
    There have been several reports of Help Menu/Update failures. I have not seen a generalized solution. I can only offer the
    the typical "Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?"

  • I transferred my apps from one Mac to a new one and now my Elements won't open Why?

    I transferred my apps from one Mac to a new one and now my Elements won't open Why?

    You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE. PSE is not a tidy package like most mac apps; the installer strews stuff all over your hard drive and neither you nor the migration assistant can ever hope to find all the necessary bits and pieces.
    Now you have kind of a mess to clean up. First download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    It won't seem to do anything, but it's necessary in order for you to be able to successfully manually remove what did get transferred so that you can reinstall PSE.
    Then go around and remove all the bits you can find, not only from applications but from your user>library>preferences and especially from hard drive>library>application support. Note that those are two different libraries.
    Then you can reinstall PSE from scratch.

    elements 12 cannot open eps-files....what can I do??

    Hello miss a,
    please have a look there https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1334015?tstart=0 and see Corect answer: "Support for EPS files was dropped with PSE 11".  and have a look at consecutive number 8 (for PSE 12!): https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#d=d7X1rXdE11yH0YHzrj7wog.
    If it's absolutely necessary to open these files you could use a trial version of PSE 12 for a while. But have a look at the restrictions at the end of the thread.

  • .pages file created in Pages for Mac won't open in Pages for iPad

    Just created a pages document on my Mac, saved it to my google drive and when attempting to "open in" from my google drive the file won't open in pages for iPhone or iPad (mini).
    All versions of Pages are on latest release.
    Messge reads:
    Document can't be imported.
    The file format is invalid.
    I download both the mac app and ios app a week ago.
    Thank you for any info!

    I've been testing file structures via google drive this morning and have yet to find a solution.
    Compressed files will not open in Pages on the ipad and an upload to Google Drive of a .pages document re downloaded to my desktop will no longer open in Pages on the Mac.
    Somewhere in the google ecosystem during upload or download / "open in" (on the ipad) the file is being restructured so that it cannot be recognized.
    An hour call with the team at Google hasn't supplied an answer yet and they have opened a case file to investigate.
    I'll update when I hear back.
    Thanks!

    When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)

    It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.
