Elements uses drive space to make its calculations, like someone writing down measurements on a scrap of paper. How much free space is there on your hard drive?

Warning message: Startup disk is full-what does this mean and how do I fix?

HI. I keep getting this warning that my startup disk is full -- but I just recently deleted many files. how do I fix?

Empty the trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.).
Get rid of all your music files you no longer listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight!
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app demo called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs.
Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or Mobile accounts to store their "stuff.”
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer free storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days.
There are thousands if not millions of free storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + click to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s FREE.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your current printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
You can do this with a FREE utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

Could not use the spot healing brush because of an internal error!

Hi All. I have been trying out the Photoshop CC trial and all is well but all of a sudden I have been getting the "could not use the spot healing brush because of an internal error" message when I'm using the healing brush rapidly! I'm sending the tiff file from Capture One Pro 8 as a Tiff file so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it.
Many Thanks

Hi it does not crash but I looked in the Photoshop Crashes folder anyway and it was empty! The message flags up and then press OK to remove it.

After re-installing photoshop elements following a HD crash, i get the following message after clicking on PE icon, "could not initialize photoshop elements because the scratch disks are full".How can this problem be resolved?

photoshop element 2.0 - on windows 7. the program ran fine on the old HD, but this error popped up when I re-installed it on the new HD
Elements 2.0 is an old version. The message may be due to the fact that your new HD is much bigger than your older one, and not due to the classical reasons:

I using windows seven for Photoshop and when I use the spot healing brush or the brush tool I get a cross hair and not the circle ?

How do I fix this issue? some time it works and the other times I get the cross hair

I know this post doesn't really help you guys, but I'm also using PSE9 on a Win7 Intel Quad Core Dell computer and the spot healing brush works fine. I only offer this post to indicate that it apparently is not a universal bug in PSE9. Perhaps an Adobe expert can jump in here and help. I can only offer that in Preferences I do have the RAM dialed up to 80%, but I don't think this is related to your problem.

I can find the spot healing brush in the tool bar

I can not find tne spot healing brush in my tool bar

It is hidden behind the healing brush. Press the shortcut 'J' to switch between both tools. Or right click on the healing brush to see the dropdown menu.

ITunes returns Error Message cannot sync apps installed on iPad because the apps installed could not be determined

Hello,
I have been trying to fix this problem with no success for awhile. When I try and backup and sync my iPad Air iOS 7.1.1 iTunes keeps returning the error message
" iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined" iTunes is current with all updates and is running on a MacBook Pro 8,3 running OS X 10.9.3.

Hi RayCanada,
Welcome to the Support Communities! I'm not sure what steps you have taken so far to troubleshoot this issue, but I have a couple of suggestions for you to try. The first thing I would suggest is to quit all apps and sign out of the iTunes Store on your iPad, disconnect it from your Macbook Pro, and turn it off. Then restart your Macbook Pro.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
Tap Sign Out.
Turn your iPad Air on, and sign into your iTunes Store account using the same Apple ID you used to purchase the apps. Connect it to the MacBook Pro using the Apple USB cable that it came with. Try to sync again with your iTunes library on your Macbook Pro.
Alternatively, you can download any iTunes Store purchased content using the same Apple ID directly to your iPad. Here's how:
Download past purchases

Not sure which Apple ID you used to make purchases? You can review your entire purchase history using your computer:

"charging not supported by this accessory". If I leave it plugged in, it charges, but I noticed that the charge doesn't seem to hold as long. What does this mean?

Why every time I plug my phone in using a USB cord or charger does it say "charging not supported with this accessory"? The phone will charge if I leave it plugged in long enough, but I noticed that it doesn't hold the charge like it used to. Is this the battery, or something else?

Hi CJ-
There are some chargers designed for thr original iPhone that are not compatible with the 3G and later models. Are you using the USB cable that came with the 3G? That cable, when plugged into a computer USB port, or, when plugged into the power cube / wall outlet, should charge the 3G just fine.
Due to the nature of Lithium Ion batteries, there are safeguards in place to prevent the wrong type of charger from supllying charge voltage to the batteries, and if the proper pins and resistance is not detected by the phone, the circuitry will block charging and give that message.
Therefore: If you are using a 3G compatible (oem, or otherwise valid charger), and you're seeing that "not supported" message, it could be the cable you're using, or it's the phone/circuitry detection in the phone that detects the cable / charger type.
And, if you are getting some charge, but it's not holding very long, it could be that it's a 3G, and the lifespan of the battery is near end of life. The fact that you're getting a charging not supported message is probably of more importance as to why the battery is not fully being charged.

Hi MrConnors
Honestly, I'm not sure what could be causing this. It looks like a python error of some sort. You said you get this when you turn on your Macbook, can you tell me anything else? Like what application do you see the error in? Maybe you can provide a screen shot?

Photoshop Elements 9 shutting down when using the Spot Healing Brush

Hello! I recently downloaded and
installed the PSE 9 on my PC. Obviously I wanted to check out it's possibil
ities and especially the Spot Healing Brush. The program seems to work fine until I want to use the Spot Healing Brush
As soon as I try to apply something to a picture, I get the message something is wrong with "photoshopeditor.exe" and needs to shut down the program.
That's really annoying and hopefully someone may have the answer and solution why it does this. I run the program on Windows XP (SP3).
I really appreciate your help. Best regards, CharlesHHH.

Hello MTSTUNER,
Somehow my post showed up twice. Anyway...just updated to 9.01 and problem solved!!
Thanks so much for your quick feedback. Much appreciated. Will now go into exploring its possibilities.
Best regards,

I tried to register my stolen iPhone onto My Profile but it says that it's registered under another apple ID (which is not mine) What does this mean? Does it mean the person who stole my phone is using my phone under another Apple ID?!

Hi everyone,
My iphone and Ipad got stollen yesterday...
I registered my Ipad onto "my profile" but when I tried to register my Iphone 4 onto "My Profile" it says that the product has been registered under ANOTHER apple ID. What does this mean?! Does this mean that the thief is using my phone under a new apple ID?!
I am getitng abit paranoid because when I tried to download a new app onto my macbook pro, it says that someone had accessed my account from a new computer. I am so scared.. as I know that if they are able to access my apple ID account they can see my billing/card details. I tried to delete my billing address and card details on my apple ID account to prevent this from occuring but I can't. Please help
Many thanks,
Kim

You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

What does this mean and why? How to fix?Mac OS X Version 10.8.56.6 (1510/1508). It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.8.5 (Build 12F37).

The build I have is the released build of Mail. I reinstalled it as directed and it didn't help. That indicates that the problem is with my version of OS X.
The build you have is the released build of 10.8.5. You reinstalled it as directed and it didn't help. That indicates it is a problem with your version of Mail.
The above are examples of flawed logic.
Seriously now. Since you obviously don't know what a Combo Update is, I will tell you. A Combo Update is short for a COMBINATION of Updates. That means that there is MORE THAN ONE update in a Combo Update. It is, therefore, quite proper to speak of "one of the Combo Updates". For people whose first language is not English and are not familiar with its subtle nuances, perhaps I should have said "One of the updates contained within the Combo Update was"
"There aren't "versions" of the combo update, unless Apple releases a revision"?
This is plain silly. It means "There aren't versions unless there are"
Also I didn't use the word "version". See above for the explanation of what I DID say.
Are you one of those TROLLS I keep hearing about?
I hope you got a lot of phoney Help points for not actually helping.
Don't bother replying, I won't come back to this thread, so I wont see it. Of course you'll get another phoney Help point, so I suppose you will, but I'll never know. Doesn't that mess with your head?
Bye Bye
What an attitude you have.
Erase your drive and reinstall correctly, stop messing about with incremental patches. The routine you need is BERR (backup, erase, reinstall, restore) or just stay as yu are, it is entirely up to you.
