I can't fully install Photoshop Elements 8 on my mac.

I purchased the software awhile ago, and just opened it today.  It wont launch the installation instructions when I insert the disc into the drive.  I opened up the installer, but I'm sure it didn't install correctly... I cannot launch the program at all - all I see are the file names etc. when I open the folder.  Also, I don't believe it installed correctly because there isn't an icon only a folder labelled pse.  I have a MacBook Pro.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.8
The file for Photoshop is on my desktop.  The attachment is a screenshot of
what it looks like when I open the Adobe folder on my desktop.
Thanks,
Rhonda

  • Can't install photoshop elements 11 on my Mac. Help!!!

    Can't install photoshop elements 11 on my Mac. I installed, moved a file (whoops). It stopped working. So I uninstalled it, then tried to reinstall but it wouldn't do it. Is it now locked or something? Can't find any way to contact Adobe for help (!!!!) so would be so so grateful for some advice.

    Hi Jeff,
    Great to hear from you! I don't have those answers but I can try
    again to reinstall and then let you know. Unfortunately I'm not around
    that computer at the moment. If it suits I hope I could send you an
    email in the next couple of weeks with that information and if you still
    have time you could let me know what you think?
    Many thanks for your time,
    Chloe

  • How do I install Photoshop Elements 6 on the Mac-mini?

    How do I install Photoshop Elements 6 on the Mac-mini? I keep getting the following message:
    x Installation cannot continue until the following applications are closed:
    flash_server
    Please close the application(s) listed above and click "Try Again" to continue the installation. Click Cancel to exit Setup.
    How can I resolve this problem without screwing anything up? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Your right. It won't make any sense to subscribe for a software that I don't own. I have CS5 on my Dell Laptop which has been giving me issues, so I re-installed the Operating System along with all my editing programs and nothing more. So I can toggle between the Mac and the PC to get the job done in the meantime. I will eventually get CS6 for the Mac.

  • How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

    How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

    As long as your license supports both platforms you should only have to download the Mac version and install/activate using your serial number.  If you need help finding a link to download the file, please indicate the PSE version you need.

  • How can I download & install Photoshop CS 5.1 for Mac?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with no CD drive, how can I download & install Photoshop CS 5.1 for Mac (I have my legit license key)

    Hi Andrew,
    Please use the below link to download CS5 Photoshop.
    Download CS5 products
    However since you are using a new MAC OS you might want to check the compatibility of the products.
    As CS5 is only tested on 10.5.7 and 10.6 MAC OS.
    Refer to below link

  • Can't re-install Photoshop Elements 10

    I recently re-formatted my hard drive. I've since tried to re-install Photoshop Elements 10...but cd drive will not even recognize that the Adobe disc is in there. I've installed other software from their cd's...no problems.
    This is driving me crazy....can someone please help!?!?!?! Thanks.

    Windows? Mac?
    You can always download the trial version, it's the exact same thing as on your disk. Your serial number will activate the trial.

  • Why can't I install Photoshop Elements 8 on my computer?

    I currently have Windows 7 - I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 at Best Buy over a week ago and still can't install the software.  I've contacted Adobe Support more than once.  My experience has been HORRIBLE.
    1.     I went online and verified that my system meets all of the requirements for this program.
    2.     I went through every single trouble shooting item I could find.  This has taken me approximately 2 days.
    3.     I called Adobe Support and spoke with someone who couldn't understand what I was saying and kept telling me that he could not help me because i bought this through a 3rd party online service - no, I didn't... I bought this from Best Buy!  I had to repeat this more than 4x before he finally understood what I was saying.
    4.     He suggested I download the trial version from the Adobe website.  (I'm thinking, why would I do this when I paid $100 for the actual software?)  But I tried it anyway.
    5.     Since I've downloaded the trial version, it's been working OK - but now I'm trying to enter my serial number before my trial ends and it's pulling up as an invalid serial number!
    6.     I go back to Best Buy to return this so I can just purchase the program online - they will not take it back and says I have to go through Adobe... (sigh)... here we go again.
    7.     I call Adobe again, spoke with someone else who was having a difficult time understanding me.  I explained everything above - he told me I have to uninstall my trial version and install the program with the software... THIS DOES NOT WORK!  (Which is what I told him in the beginning of the call)
    Does anyone have any input on how I can attempt to install this on my computer, or am I really out $100 on my very first Adobe product?  I'm beginning to lose faith in this very troublesome experience... =(  I would love to speak with someone who can understand what I am asking and what kind of help I am looking for.  I just need to be able to install the software with a valid serial number, or instructions to just return this product all together.
    Please help!

    Hi Rosera,
    This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
    Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
    It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
    Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
    If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
    Regards,
    Ankush

  • Why can't I install Photoshop Elements 11

    I had Photoshop Elements 11 installed on my Laptop using Windows 8 64 bit.
    I uninstalled it from the laptop so that I could install it on my new desktop.
    The new desktop also runs on Windows 8 64 bit.
    The Photoshop Elements 11 program disc doesn't even run.
    What can the problem be?

    navigate to your disk can click setup.

  • Need to install photoshop elements 12 on new Mac - previously on a PC - original download by way of internet - so what to do???

    How do I get the Photoshop Elements 12 from Adobe to reinstall on a Mac vs my previous PC computer. 

    Hi sudi,
    I have checked the serial number of "Photoshop Elements 12" registered on your account, it is for windows only. Unfortunately it can not be installed on your new Mac machine.
    We would need to initiate a request to swap the platform from windows to mac. Please refer to the below mentioned link
    Link: Order product | Platform, language swap
    Meanwhile, you can install a trial version to get going with your new Mac, and initiate the platform swap request ASAP.
    Link to download :  Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe
    Please revert in case of further issues.
    Thanks,

  • Trying to install Photoshop Elements 12 onto my Mac running Yosemite.

    When trying to install Elements 12 on my Mac, Iget the error "Installer failed to initialize". What do I do to get this back on my computer? I have had it on here for months, had issues with Yosemite, uninstalled and now can't get reinstalled.

    Yes, I ran the uninstaller.
    After an hour of googling, I found the fix. I had to update my Adobe Application Manager and was then able to install.
