    If your program is Photoshop Elements 12, then you have posted in the wrong forum. Your thread is now in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
    Please re-post your question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.

    While you are making your move, consider
    a. what computer operating system is involved...if we assume Windows
    b. have you checked Control Panel/Programs to assure that the program is no longer listed as an installed program?
    If it is no longer installed, you might want to consider a free ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) to get
    rid of any leftovers from incomplete installs and uninstalls. Then reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

  • I have an iPad screen that won't swipe.  I cannot connect it to Itunes because it's locked with a pass code which I can't enter because I can't swipe.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I have a 16GM Mini IPad.  The screen won't swipe.  I tried resetting it but that didn't work.  I attempted to connect to ITunes to try a restore but I can't do that.  This is because the IPad is locked with a pass code which I can't enter because I can't swipe.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    If Ralph's suggestion doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    I had recently updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 and thus had to re download Adobe Digital Editions. I downloaded Version 4.0 but the problem seemed to be with the authorization between the e-reader and the computer. While in ADE click the help button and click erase authorization then re do your user id and password. It worked for me.

    Hello, skifmli
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are unable to sync your iPhone and receive an error.  I was start with restarting iTunes and your computer.  Once this is done, test the results by attempting a sync.  If the issue persists, go through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

    Hey MissJamieLW,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iPhone is not recognized in iTunes when connected to your computer. To troubleshoot this issue, see the relevant article for your operating system:

  • Lost the ability to connect to both WiFi and Bluetooth on my iPhone 4S.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Lost the ability to connect to both WiFi and Bluetooth on my iPhone 4S.  Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

    Have you followed http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 ?
    Also try settings>general>reset>reset all settings
    If you have followed that article and restored your phone and set it up as new and you're still having that issue you may call and explain you followed the article and are still having the problem. Most likely they will either set up a replacement for you. If they ask you to set up the one time phone support agreement, and they assist you with a restore again, they won't bill you if they end up having to repair it.
