Every time I click on photoshop edit I get a message that the program has crashed. I' ve been using photoshop elements for two years and nothing on my computer has changed. My software was downloaded and I have no disk.

WHat can I do to make the program work as it has before?

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

  • I am running OS X10.4.11 Recently I have been having trouble opening entourage, word, safari, excel, etc on a cold start  It has been taking 3 attempts  each time getting a message that the program quit unexpectedly.  Seems like a virus.  What can I do?

    1st attempt to open an application after the computer has been shut down a message says(as an example)" the application PowerPoint quit unexpectedly.  Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.  Click reopen to see more details or send a report to Apple."  Next attempt it says "The application PowerPoint quit unexpectedly after it was reopened.  Mac Os X and other applications are not affected.  Click Try Again to temporarily restore the application's default settings and open it again.  Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple."  When I click "Try Again"  the app opens normally and usually runs ok  sometimes it will quit unexpectedly but when reopening at that point it opens ok.  Never had this issue until about 2 weeks ago.  ***  When I close the program myself I get a message that says "PowerPoint-New Settings
    New settings have been created for this application.  Do you want to use these settings from now on?  Then there  are  2 buttons below the dialogue box that say "Use new settings and Use original settings"  This happens every time I try to open Power Point, Excel, Safari, Entourage the first time each new day.  If I have been running any of those programs and have not shut down the laptop then the program will reopen normally but may shut down unexpectedly on its own  and sometimes not. What changed and how do I fix this problem?  Running OS X10.4.11 and software updates are current.  Ran diagnostics and checked out ok.

  • Every time I try to upgrade Firefox, I get a message that I'm not eligible to do that. Mac 10.5.8

    I am currently running Firefox 3.5.3 and when I try to upgrade, the message is that I'm not eligible to install the new version. I've tried Firefox 5 and Firefox 6. Would 4 work for me? And where do I find it?

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 15.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded

    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

    They are updated through the Software Update facility, not the Mac App Store.
    Thanks for popping in....
    My iLife apps are all from retail install disks predating Lion/ML; I am running 10.8.4 and as soon as I choose Software Update from the menu, the app store 'Updates" window opens with "checking for updates". I believe that behavior (SU being directed to MAS) was changed with ML?

  • Every time I click print in Pages I get the beach ball and my mac freezes.

    I just updated to the newest version of pages and every time I click print in pages I get the beach ball and my mac freezes. Any suggestions on fixing this? I've tried shutting down and restarting several times...nothing seems to be working and I'm loosing/wasting time trying to fix this...

    Hey there nmiller0528,
    It sounds like you are unable to print from Pages at all from your computer. I want to recommend troublehsooting the Mac OS for print issues with this article named:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I have been working on the same numbers file for the past few weeks.  The last time I opened it was 1 week ago.  Today when I tried to open it I am unable and getting a message that the file is invalid and the index.xml file is missing.

    I have been working on the same numbers file for the past few weeks.  The last time I opened it was 1 week ago.  Today when I tried to open it I am unable and getting a message that the file is invalid and the index.xml file is missing. 

    Hi Tracie,
    I upgraded to Maverick OS X 10.9.5, numbers spreadsheet is saved. Upon re-opening, it appears to be frozen, a warning "file is invalid as index.xml file is missing". I checked, and the file is not "locked". This appears to occur only with using the new numbers app. When I open previous spreadsheets from old iWorks, no such problem occurs.
    How did you resolve your problem?
    Would appreciate any help here.
    Thanks,
    Deehay
