I've just installed Photoshop Elements 12 on my PC computer. At the end of the installation, I received a message that the installation was successful. I then tried to click on the desktop icon, but it won't open. Any ideas as to what could be going on? Thanks very much!

This worked for me

Hi Kimberly,
Please follow these steps:
Try to rename SLCacje to Slcache.old
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
and
SLStore to Slstore.old
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore
and Right Click on the Photoshop Elements 12 icon and run as administrator
Let me know if this works.
Thanks

Please Help! Lost all Desktop Icons, Finder won't open & Cant shut off iMac

Hi Mac Users,
I need some serious help please and thank you --- my iMac with Mac OS X 10.5.6 has lost all its desktop icons, I can't open my finder (i've tried relaunching and rebooting my computer, which won't even do a hard shut off). I can open apps on my dock and that is about it.
I did read in another discussion to delete the preference file, but I can't get access to the library?!? And I also read to try doing a disk repair from the install disk and when I insert the disk into my iMac I don't get a pop-up window asking what i'd like to do and since the finder does not open I have to way to even start the disk up to attempt to do a disk repair????
Any suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Sincerly,
desperate iMac kt1611

When you tried to do a disk repair from the instal disk, did you actually boot from the instal disk? You should.
Have you read the manual that came with your iMac and followed the appropriate steps?

HT1199 Can't open any icons even apple won't open any ideas?

After start up my I mac won't open anything icons just bounce once and nothing happens, can't even open apple support or help has anyone got any ideas how to fix.,

First, shut down (power off) and start up your Mac again. See if the problem returns.
If that does not help, try starting up with the Shift key held down to do a Safe Mode startup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
If this allows you to start up to the Desktop and run applications, run Disk Utility (in the Applications/Utilities folder). Select your startup disk (usually called "Macintosh HD") in the Disk Utility sidebar, and go to the First Aid tab. Use Repair Disk Permissions. Don't be too concerned if a lot of messages come up. It is fixing what needs to be fixed and the rest of it is usually just "informational."
Try restarting normally.

Am trying to open a powerpoint presentation in keynote, but presentation is grayed out and keynote won't open. any ideas.

I am trying to open a powerpoint presentation in keynote, but it won't open. Presentation grayed out.Ideas

Firefox doesn't have any built-in ability to display PowerPoint files in a tab. You can check how Firefox is set to handle PowerPoint files in the Options dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
''This list may take a while to load.'' In the search box above the list, you can type pow and let Firefox filter it down. Usually these would say "Always Ask" but you might have customized them to "Use Microsoft Powerpoint".
There are some sites that have a Flash-based PowerPoint viewer, such as OneDrive/SkyDrive and SlideShare. Maybe Gmail has one now, too, I haven't checked. But all such sites also should have a separate download button, either before showing their viewer or as part of the viewer. If there are particular sites where you notice this problem, maybe someone know how to bypass the viewer on that site and go straight to a download.

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

Installing Photoshop Elements on a new computer

The hard drive on which my copy of Photoshop Elements 6 was installed has crashed and cannot be restored. I will receive a new computer tomorrow and wish to install the program on that. How do I deactivate the program and reactivate it on the new computer?

There is no activation for PSE 6 unless you bought your serial number via the Buy It Now button in the trial, so you can just go ahead and install it.

Install Photoshop Elements 11 on 2nd computer

I purchased Photoshop Elements 11 about 4 months ago. Since then Adobe has come out with a new version. I recently bought a new computer and would like to download the photoshop I have without having to upgrade. I can't figure out how to do it and apparently tech support wont help if there is a new version. Any help would be apprecaited.

I would like an answer to this as well!

When I click on App Store icon, screen goes blank. Any ideas?

Badge on App Store icon says I have one app to update, so click on the icon, and screen is completely blank white. Info bar at top is visible, as well as a solid gray bar below that info bar, but white from there to bottom of screen. No activity at all. Ideas? Running IOS6 on an iPhone 4

False alarm. App store was frozen, but reset phone three times, and on third try, app store opened.
Thanks

ITunes won't open - any ideas what's going on?

Whenever I try to open iTunes, whether from the start menu or with the shortcut, it doesn't work. I get the hourglass for a few seconds, then it becomes a cursor again and that's all. No sign that I just tried to load a program.

hi Sarah!
sorry about the delay. i'd had a wee adware problem lately (i got stomped by those irritating Win32.WinFixer, SystemDoctor2006 and WinAntiVirusPro2006 horrors), so i thought i'd download a copy myself and do a field test for you.
remember to reboot the PC after installing Ewido. click the "Update" button prior to a scan to collect fresh definitions (there were some waiting there for me when i did that).
probably best to click "Scanner" and then do a "Complete System Scan" to begin with.
this may take a while. my one took ... 49 minutes and 41 seconds. i don't think that was counting the time spent dealing with the alerts along the way. might be a good idea to settle in with a good book in front of the PC while doing the first scan. (it will probably honk at you quite frequently while it's scanning your cookies, but at other times there might be a few minutes between detections.)
love, b

I recently downloaded FCP X and now FCP 7 won't open, any ideas why?

All my projects are in FCP 7 but I am about to start usiing FCP X. Since I downloaded FCP X I am unable to open 7 from
Applications or XML Files, please help.

Hi Russ,
I've tried all 3 of the instructions from the link you sent me. So I've uninstalled FCP X and Motion 3 times and re-downloaded it 3 times and the same thing happens with FCP 7.
It boots up, right up until the part when the windows open on screen and then closes without leaving an error message.
FCP X works fine... Unfortunately I have loads of projects on 7 that I need to complete before an(almost) complete transfer to X.
Anny more ideas would be gratefully received
Regards
Steve

Itunes won't open, any ideas?

So frustrating. I've done research and reinstalled, deleted files but still no reaction. It's like the whole program doesn't exist! Any help gratefully received. PS I need noddy instructions if technical. ta

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

Installed Photoshop Elements 10 on new computer and clone tool smears dark spots around photos. Spot healing brush smears dark colors around. Lighten and contrast work ok. Have deleted program and reinstalled but same problems.

Anybody have suggestions as I am stumped?

On the clone tool's option bar, top left, click on the little triangle. Since you are having a problem with two tools, suggest that you reset all tools. Let us know whether or not this resolves the issue.
