In my photoshop 12 for the MAC, i have had crashes recently. But my question is that initializing

when i am in Elements 12 doesn't work so I can't get to finish in Guided Edit mode and do brightness & contrast, levels and exposure. Also, the Peach Pit files that came with the Adobe book on 12 are too big and are creating a problem.
Please help. I need initializing to work and no more crashes. I was advised by Apple that I had enough storage space. Many thanks for feedback.

Thank you, Barbara B., I did install Mavericks before installing Photoshop because I consulted the Apple specialists. Organizer works and some tasks, like the tags, sometimes are difficult.
One problem is that the initializing bar when you are in Editor doesn't run the full course. The white line doesn't completely run until the end which is something, I think, is bizarre.
This is strange because I noticed that the files provided with the Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Classroom in A Book by Peach Pit are large and have forced me to reduce them. I have yet to try the other book I bought which was suggested by Barnes and Noble by Barbara Brundage as it is immense and covers both.
Organizer and Editor always open.
Many thanks,

  • My screen saver has become to large for the screen. i have had this problem before and just reset the ipad. This time it hasnt worked

    i have a 3yr old ipad. it is ios8. the newest operating system. my problem is the screen saver will not downsize. it is to big for the screen. i have used my fingers to pinch the screen smaller but it douesnt work. in the past if i shut it off and press the bottom centre button it resets the ipad. that isnt working now.

    I just did that and everything looked ok.  I do notice however when I open up my calendar off to the left hand side where all the calendars are listed there is a triangle with a exclamation mark in the middle of it.  When I clicked on it a window, just like the one that has been popping up, opens and it gives the same message.  "server resoponded with an error" and it lists a various event and gives the choice to go offline, or revert to server.  I have to choose go offline in order to get the window to close.  Any idea what is happening?

  • I have an IMac and would like to scan and edit scans can anyone suggest a scanner for the Mac

    Help.  I have an IMac and I want to scan and be able to edit my scans and I have received so many different opinions on how to do this.  Buy a separate scanner or buy an all in one that scans but you have to get software to edit. It is really confusing so before I purchase a scanner I need to know if anyone else is doing this and what machine should I buy. Thanks for the help.

    Hi and thanks for replying. I have a management company and I would like to scan a document and then be able to go in and make changes if necessary.  Some people told me to purchase a Fujitsu 1500 scanner for the Mac which costs about 500.00 but didn't think I needed something that sophisticated and then another opinion was to get an all in one but I need software to edit and no one seems to know what software to purchase. Thanks again for your input.
    Get the Fujitsu (Get the M1500, the S1500 is for Windows), it comes with ABBy Fine Reader OCR software that is probably less good than Vuescan but for printed text works just fine, handwriting is a different matter. It is about $500 (look around, under $400 is sometimes possible) don't buy the S version, none of the software will work on a Mac. I've used this scanner fairly often, it's better than the price would suggest.

  • I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an iMAC. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe about this.  What do I do? Ed

    I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an IMAC and it doesn't work on that either. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe. What do I do? Thanks, Ed

    That because the activation servers were retired. Now for the good news:
    Adobe has provided a non-activation version of Photoshop CS2 free of charge for their CS2 license holders.
    Download the Mac version of Photoshop (not the suite) and copy down the serial number next to it.  Do not use your original serial number or cs2 disc.
    Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
    Uh... one more thing CS2 is PPC only.  OSX 10.6.8 has Rosetta to run legacy PPC products. 10.7 and above will not.
    Good luck,

  • My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download

    My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download or re-install. " and then the button "Buy Now". When I hit the Buy Now button I am put in a field to buy Photoshop Elements 13, with no way to change to Elements 10. I do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling etc. In fairness, it's been over a month since making the decision to buy. Still, I consider this a nightmare. Any ideas on how to buy the app I've got withou having to purchase a whole new one? Thanks.
    If worse comes to worse, will I need to uninstall the trial if I buy a new version? Can I use part of it lime download assistant?

    Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.  If you wish to purchase an older version you will have to find and take your chances with a third party vendor.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 for the Mac crashes on exit

    I recently installed PE 8 for the Mac on an iMac running OS x 10.6.4.  When I exit the program I get an error message from the OS that Photoshop Elements quit unexpectedly.  I also get an error message from PE that it crashed. 
    With the assistance of tech support I have downloaded it again, reinstalled it and even set up another admin accounted and repeated the downloading and installation process to no avail.  I am still waiting for a reply from "upper level techs."
    I have not started to use PE8 because I am reluctant to invest a lot of effort and photos until this is corrected.

    Cal-
    That's a bummer. I think Elements is probably half way between iPhoto and Aperture... the advantage is that it sets you up to move pretty seamlessly to Photoshop, which is clearly a lot more powerful than Aperture. But if Aperture does all you want, you will probably be happy with it.
    You didn't happen to save the email from Adobe support, did you? I would LOVE to see it.
    cheers,

  • Problems with Photoshop cs4 for the Mac

    I am having all kinds of problems with Photoshop CS4 for the Mac.  When I boot the software it seems to work for a while then, I am unable to open upf a file in Photoshop.  I drag a photoshop file over the application icon, the whole screen flickers and nothing happens.  I am unable to quit Photoshop as the quit choice is grayed out and command-q will not make it quit. I have to force quit.  I can repeat this pattern over and over.  What is happening?  How do I solve this problem?
    --Kenoli

    Thanks for the reply.  I am using  Photoshop 11.0.1.  I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard.  I have found both Photoshop and Dreamweaver to be pretty buggy for several versions now.  My suspicions were that they were really engineered for Windows and never really fully implemented for the Mac.  Dreamweaver crashes or hangs on me three or four times a day if I us it all day and does various annoying things like refusing to respond to the delete key after I have used it for a while.  I have pretty much stopped using it to some degree for that reason and also because there is other software that does a lot of coding things I do much more directly and simply.  Also Dreamweaver always seems to struggle to quit when I tell it to quit (that is, it takes a long time and gets hung up at places before it quits) and once it does quit, I always get a message saying that it has unexpectedly quit (even when I have told it to quit).
    The problems with Photoshop  (starting with just taking a long time to load)  have escalated to the point I described today, which makes it almost unusable. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard to see if there was anything buggy in the system software.  I will report if problems go away.
    Regarding both the refusal to open image files and the grayed out quit command, made me think something like you, i.e. there was some dialogue box open somewhere.  However, I couldn't find anything and I don't use two monitors.
    So . . . Adobe just seems to be getting more expensive and more buggy.
    Incidentally, why is it still running in Rosetta rather than natively?  Adobe now has a real Intel processor to work with.

  • Installing a downloaded version of photoshop elements 8 for the mac

    Can someone please help me.  I downloaded version 8 of photoshop elements for the mac (a paid version and not the trial).  When i click on the set-up icon and go through all the required information (i.e., serial number, etc.), the screen goes to checking the system and finally to "preparing to install".  It sits there and does nothing.  I have waited for hours but it just says "preapring to install".  I have downloaded the app a couple of times.  I rebooted a couple of times.  I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.1  I also have the earlier version of Photoshop Elements, version 6.  Can someone help please.  I have holding now for 73 minutes on Adobe's support line.

    Not to sound completely stupid but does this require me to download elements
    again but under the new admin user?

  • I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

    I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

    In the Mac side of things, backups usually come in two flavors: clones or incrementals.
    A bootable clone is a bit-for-bit copy of all essential files in the startup volume. If using the Lions, clones can be made using CarbonCopyCloner or just plain old Disk Utility. These backups represent the safest protection of your info, but take the longest to do. Recovery is an inverse process: you copy the clone back into the internal drive.
    Incremental backups start with a complete backup of the startup volume and only copy whatever changed from the previous run. OS X includes the fully integrated Time Machine backup utility to do this. It is extremely easy to do and takes the least amount of time. Recovery is another matter altogether since you have to start with a freshly installed instance of the OS and have to apply all intervening backups to bring the result to the latest saved version.
    As for where the backup takes place, the recommended media is an external dedicated drive or drives connected via the fastest interface available on your Mac: Thunderbolt, USB3, Firewire, or USB2. Network-based backups, wired or wireless, are attractive but may not offer the same performance and hence take longer. Also important to note that the entire drive need not be completely dedicated to a single backup. The Mac's EFI firmware infrastructure allows for an unlimited number of partitions on a hard drive and each can be used for either type of backups.
    Holler if you need specifics on how to do each. This was just an executive summary.

    Hi there,
    The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.

  • I have iMovie 09. I just erased my external hard drive, but it is still formatted for the mac. However, iMovie will not recognize the hard drive. It shows the only hard drive available is the computers. How do I get the external hard drive to show up?

    In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.

    I bought  my MacBook Pro in 2010. This is the first Mac I have owned and recently it is having some difficulty loading we pages, often timing out. This Mac environment is entirely different for me and I am not sure where to begin troubleshooting and/ or clean-up. I have moderate computer skills and try not to download or access questionable material, however recently I visited the Ap Store and purchased a couple of different aps to use in record keeping and for making a flyer. I am not even sure how to remove these programs to see if it helps.
    Any tips or tricks are appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • I don't have a good good disc for the mac box set can i get it with it my serial no.

    I don't have a good good disc for the mac box set can i get it with it my box number?

    If this is a new box you just bought ad the disk is bad, Apple will replace it for you.  OTOH, if you have lost the disk or it has become damaged over time, that is your responsibility, and though I don't speak for Apple, I'd be very surprised if you had any option other than buying another copy.
