How Can I Stop the Automatic Backup

I downloaded and am trying to use the free trial of Photoshop Elements 10 on my Mac.  The first time I opened the program, aside from a bunch of fiddly repeated signing in with Adobe, all went well.
Then, somehow, it began to back up all my pictures to some Adobe place.  Naturally, there wasn't enough room.  Now, I get a notification that I need to purchase more room for my pictures to back up.  The editor freezes and I have to do a forced close to even get it to close.  Needless to say, I can not in any way evaluate whether or not I want to buy the software if I can't even use it.  I am about to just uninstall the whole thing and forget about it.
Is there any way to disable the backup?  I am surely not going to spend any money buying more space if I'm not going to end up buying Elements, and apparently Elements is going to keep crashing because it can't complete the backup.  I went to my "personal Adobe webpage" to try to delete pictures from there, but no, they are locked and can't be deleted, which I find rather disturbing.  I have done Google searches and can't find any info on this problem.
Has anybody experienced anything like this?

Hi,
You can disable the automatic back up by any of the two methods –
Go to ‘Adobe Elements Organizer->Preferences->Backup/Synchronization’. Now uncheck the check box for ‘Backup/sync is on’. OR
Use the shortcut ‘Command+K’ to launch Preferences and then uncheck the check box for ‘Backup/sync is on’.
Regarding deleting photos follow these steps-
Log on to http://www.photoshop.com/ . Sign in here with the account (which you created at your welcome screen).
At home page you will find options saying ‘Organize my library’ (at top right side). Click it and it will take you to the page which contains all your shared media. You can easily delete it from here.
I think it will solve both of your problem. Let me know if problem persist.

  • How can I stop the automatic updgrades of Thunderbird?

    Newer versions of Thunderbird are incompatible with an add on called Quicktext Pro and their attachment feature. Uninstalling the maintenance service does not help.

  • HT5295 How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    How can I stop the auto play feature automatically playing/streaming the next podcast?

    Hi there.
    I listened to podcast there were two things I found that helped me out. Both we're in the podcast app itself.
    Firstly change the default sorting order. When looking at the list off episodes a available on your ios device tap on the description part at the top, this will bring up the settings for that podcast (subscribe mark as played etc) scroll to the Bottom and select oldest first. This will mean that if you are listening to the latest download it will stop at the end as there will be no more to play.
    Secondly, and useful if listening to older podcasts in the list, you can use the timer to stop once the current episode has ended. To do this when you are in the podcast playback screen slide the "album artwork" up, revealing the playback options and nifty tape playing animation this is where you adjust playback speed and set a timer. The timer has a number of options to set playback to stop after set amount of time. However one of these options is to stop once the current episode you are listening to ends. This can also be current chapter if the podcast you are listening to supports chapters.
    Hope this helps, if not clear let me know

  • How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac?

    How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac? I've changed from a Macbook to a iMac because that one stopped working and I cannot use it anymore. I've been able to import all the data of the last backup of the Macbook when setting the new iMac, but I cannot access now to the old backups of the Macbook and there are information that wasn't in the last backup and I would like to recover. Thank you very much.

    Yes, you can ..

  • How can we stop the Collapse process in process chain.

    hi
    guys
             How can we stop the Collapse process in process chain.if any one know's plz tell me
    your regards
    suresh

    Hi,
    All the above post duly suggest a the methods we usually follow to cancel a collapse request i.e sm37 ---> Cancel without core,but these solution only applies if we are running collapse as a seperate variant in the process chain, in case its running as a part of change run the all above process will lead to the locking of the target.
    In that case if you could "lock the target" even before the collapse ran will result in the "Stopping of the collapse on the target automatically" .
    As far as figuring out the exat job of the collapse, you can directly get the job details in the "display message' , context menu option of the "Collapse variant" in the chain, clicking on the batch monitor and then clicking on the job to get its detail,then going to the specific "Application server " via SM51 and cacelling the job.
    Do check wearther the target is unlocked or not in sm12 if not then choose the object in se03 and select "Unlock".
    Hope it will serve yoour purpose
    Thax & Regards

  • How can i disable the automatic move command?

    how can i disable the automatic move command?  when i choose the move command it automatically moves whatever element that's selected, using the previous dimension used to move something.  Big Problem.

    went back to see if Preview was checked - it isn't.
    It happens when we double-click on the arrow to open the move dialouge box, but the box doesn't open - instead the selected item is automatically moved #!@**
    that's what we need to stop... any ideas?

  • How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are in the same account because its sharing every thing even text messages

    How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy

    An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync. 
    If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
    If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync.  Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want.

  • How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

    How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
    Windows Computer

    1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
    setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
    just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
    A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
    '''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
    2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
    it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
    It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''
    Ask questions, or go somewhere else.

  • When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

    When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

    In Logic:
    Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
    This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
    On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number.  It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

    That only happens when you are running Windows in a Virtual Machine with OS X as the host. Shut down the VM and restart your Mac.  Once the VM is running again and you insert a USB flash drive you should get that prompt again.

    please help " how can i stop the i tune pop force quit doesn't work"

    Refunds on downloaded software are virtually nonexistent.
    I have had cases where I purchase software on a physical disk. If I don't like the software I can uninstall it from my computer and sell it legally. Recouping most of my loss.
