I still can't open PSE 11 since I purchased it weeks ago. Please help.

I'm posting this here too because I don't get a response from anyone anywhere. I purchased PSE 11 a few weeks ago and I have yet been able to even use it. I don't even know who can help me and I can't even find a phone number. I try to open PSE 11 and I get this error: Could not open a scratch file because the file could not be found.
I used to use PSE 2 and it was really simple. Open and go. But this new one doesn't even open. Please please help or let me know how I can seek help.

Now that you've copied the Preferences file from the other account to this one, does the behavior change, or do you get the same Scratch Disk error? You can try deleting (or renaming) the Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Prefs file to force the Editor to recreate it. Also, the keyboard shortcut to reset preferences is Ctrl+Alt+Shift (not Ctrl+Shift+Del). On top of that, if you hold down just Ctrl+Alt, you can select your Scratch disk at launch.
Here is more information about where the Preferences files are stored: Preference file locations | Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements
This video also helps (it talks about Photoshop, but all the information applies to Photoshop Elements as well except for the change in file and folder names: How to Reset Photoshop CS6’s Preferences File | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV
A Scratch Disk is temporary hard drive space that the Editor uses to hold information about the image(s) you are editing. This temp file gets created either in a temp folder or the root of the hard drive if a secondary hard drive is selected. Another possible source of the problem is that this user account has issues with access to the location where it is trying to create the Scratch Disk. File and Folder permissions, which control this access, is different for each user account. When you encounter a problem that occurs in one account but not another, you should take a look at this document: Troubleshoot unexpected behavior | User account-specific | Adobe software | Windows 7, Vista

  • Can't open IDML files on CS6 or 5.5 Please help

    I just purchased and downloaded IDCS6. I have updated all the plugins. I "saved as" IDCS4 or old, a document I was working on. Now I can't open with either version of ID. Please help! How can I get this document to open? I am using Windows, 64-bit OS

    I received the .idml fileyou sent, and it won't open here, either. It looks to me as if it may not be complete. Since you didn't send the .indd file I can't do much more.
    I see though that you managed to get the file to export properly. In spite of it being listed now under the Save As menu, making .idml files is an Export function and it is a background task so even though the dialog closes and you can go back to work immediately, the file may not be ready. There is a samll inidcator icon of scrolling horizontal lines that appears on the right of the Menu bar while background tasks are in progress, and you can open the Background Tasks panel from Window > Utilities for a real progress bar. I suspect you may have simply tried to open the original .idml file before it completed.
    As far as opeing as Untitled, that unfortuantely, is expected behavior, and it is a pain in the neck. You are creating a new file as far as ID is concerned, so it names it Untitled. When you save, you should probably use a new name to avoid overwriting the original .indd file.

  • Can't open numbers document on mac!! Urgent please help

    Ok so i have a macbook air mid 2012. I had to reset my laptop the other day and since then i cannot open my urgent numbers document. I need this very soon so if anyone has any idea of whats going on please help!!! When i try to open it it tells me that the document is empty or that i need to purchase it again. But i have already purchased it. I moved it to trash as well then cleared it then downloaded it again but no luck!
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Salves,
    Perhaps you now have two versions of Numbers on your machine, Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) and the latest version of Numbers (Numbers 3.2).
    The icon on your Dock may still be pointing to Numbers 2.3 (the old version). That will not open a document that has been converted to the new version (Numbers 3.2).
    Look in your Applications folder (inside a sub-folder called iWork '09) for Numbers 2.3. Do not delete this app!
    Look inside your Applications folder (not a sub-folder) for Numbers. That may be Numbers 3.2 (the latest version). Drag that to your Dock.
    Your Dock may now look like this:
    Numbers 2.3 on the left (3 column chart);
    Numbers 3.2 on the right (4 column chart).
    Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.

  • Can't open Security & Privacy preference pane?...please help.

    Hi All,
    I would be grateful if anyone could assist... I can't seem to open the security & privacy preference pane.  I receive the following "Preferences Error" upon trying to click the icon in my system preferences:
    First click: You can’t open Security & Privacy preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac.
    Second click: Could not load Security & Privacy preference pane.
    I noticed the issue this past week when I installed some monitor callibration software.  After downloading, the software's interface text did not load (it was simply blank for the drop down menus).  The manufacturer tried to help me by clearing font cache and such, but that was not the issue.  When he next directed me to the S&P pane, that's when I noticed I couldn't open it to adjust anything.
    * I did go into Users & Groups and created a new admin user.  I was then able to open the Security & Privacy pane, and load the monitor calibration software without any problems, so it seems to be a user issue I suppose?  Tried to trash some security preferences, reinstalled 10.8.2, but with no luck.
    Thanks for your assistance!

    Try booting into the Safe Mode.  Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This does some maintenance routines and 3rd party applications don't load. Sometimes 3rd party applications are the problem. If your normal user account works in Safe Mode, it is probably a 3rd part application.

  • IBooks author: Can't open the file because "index.xml" is missing, please help!,

    A project that I was working on yesterday and I didn't close it, today when I wanted to work on it and opened a new page there was a huge X on the page so I decided to quit ibooks then reopen it, saved all my changes first of course, but then when I tried opening it literally 10 seconds later it says the index.xml file is missing, this is my technology project due tomorrow please help!

    This or a simmilar problems arose just after the last  iBA update. There is a very long thread dealing with this.
    I had a similar problems and nothing cured it until I contacted support and  they gave me a link to upload to their server, they repaired my file and I downloaded it.
    It actually took from start to  finish about 2 weeks.
    I "huge X" on any page usually indicates an image or similar content is missing.
    The usual suggestions are to close everything  down and do a re-boot.
    I suggest a search of this forum for the thread may be an idea.  Try this
    https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=true&userID=&containerTy pe=&container=&spotlight=false&q=index.xml+file+is+missing
    If you make a copy of your book file and change .iba to .zip, you can open the file and check if the index page really is missing.

  • Can't open songs once transferred to new computer. Please help!

    Hello
    I followed the helpful advice on these boards and used an external hard drive to transfer my iTunes library from an old PC to an new one. My problem now is I see the songs the songs in my music folder but it seems that I would have to import them one at a time to get them into my new library. There has got to be an easier way that I am missing. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I have a similar problem.
    I removed and re-installed Itunes and Ipod software as per the Apple site recommendations because my ipod would not connect to itunes. I re-installed both software, opened itunes and had no library at all showing and my view config was all defaults. I copied and renamed the "itunes library xxx-xx-xx.itl" file from the previous library folder in my music back and it restored my library and playlists (yeah!).
    My problem is that many (25 to 30%) of my 10,000+ songs have an exclamation point next to them and the library can't find them. It can find the rest of the songs (including some but not all songs in the same CD's). All of the songs are in the same folder tree on an external usb hard drive. I can manually locate and connect the songs but this would take 100 years to do. I tried to consolodate the library but this did not help. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • Can't open PSE, keep getting licensing agreement

    Since today, when I try to open PSE, I get a Elements Organizer pop-up that contains the licensing agreement.  When I click Accept, it keeps popping up over and over again.  Once in a while, it goes to another screen to enter my key.  I enter the key, then the licensing agreement pops up again, and I can't open PSE.  Why is this?  I could try re-downloading, but I have a lot of actions already loaded and don't want to have to do it all over again.

    I'm so totally frustrated!  I have deleted PSE and PE, used Microsoft Unistall Utility to try to get rid of any bits and pieces of these programs, try to re-install, but the Adobe Wizard goes through the download, only to 'roll back', and tell me the wizard was interrupted before installation was complete.  Here are some pics of what I'm getting:
    Any ideas?

  • I just updated Indesign but still can't open an .indd file.

    I just updated Indesign through the Creative Cloud App, but I still can't open a file provided by a client. The error message says the file was saved with "a newer version of Adobe Indesign CC (9.2). Not sure why this is the case since I have a CC subscription. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Okay, I figured it out. There are 2 versions of Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop currently released by Adobe: CS6 and CC. Hadn't been paying attention, so it was confusing. It's not immediately clear on the Adobe site that there are 2 versions. Not very good customer support/relations in that respect.
