Installing Elements 5 on 4.. how?

Hi all
i have Elements 4 on my computer, and i will probably upgrade to the 5 soon
so i wanted to know how do i Install elements 5 over 4?
do i uninstall first 4 than install? install 5 and than uninstall 4?
without loosing all my catalogue!?
Thanks alot!

I believe the following happens but I have not upgraded to Version 5 yet. Could someone who has confirm?
When you install Version 5, it converts existing My Catalog.PSA and renames old catalog to My Catalog-1.PSA.
When you open Version 4, it likely will try to open My Catalog.PSA (as it does not know about the catalog being converted). You'll have to point to old catalog with File>Open>Catalog.
After that, as Colin has pointed out, any Organizer changes (tags, collections, etc.) written in Version 4 will not show in Version 5 and vice versa.

  • How Do I Re Install Elements 10?

    I had to restore my laptop to the original purchase set up and now I need to reinstall my Elements 10. I have the serial number but don't know where to do this.
    Any help?
    Bonnie

    I installed my Photoshop Elements 6 and was going to try to upgrade again from that to see if it would work that way.  I entered the old serial number on the 6 and once it was loaded tried to upgrade but it wants me to purchase it again. Then I found a spot in the help section which if I understand says I could have enteredthe new serial number purhaps.  Now I dont know if I should un-intall the elemnts 6 and re-enter the Photoshop 10 serial number when it asks for it. All this trouble because I restored my laptop for an Office Starter program that wasnt working. Thanks for any help Bonnie

    To open teh zip file you need  a utility , like winzip , 7zip etc You are on teh right track , serial number do work in the trial installation , just open the downloaded file and run the setup.

    I installed elements 12 on a Win 8.1 computer and moved all my photos from my old XP machine.  I updated to elements 12.1.  Now, many/most of my photos will not open because I do not have "permission" to open the files.  How do I fix this so I can work with MY photos?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these?

    I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these? I saw a reply however, it was not my name and assumed it was for someone else. Now timed out. Can UI still have help on this matter please?

    If you registered PSE before, go to the main page of adobe.com, sign in and go to your account and you should find the serial number there in your purchases.

  • How do I install Elements 13 from the diskdrive on another computer?

    I bought a hardcopy of Elements 13. I want to install it on a Windows 7-desktop pc.
    However, this pc does not contain a diskdrive, therefore I want to install it from the diskdrive on my laptop.
    Both computers are in my home-network. I do have administrator rights. @From the desktop I can see the contents on the disk. I can even start to run and it is possible in the startscreen to choose installing Elements 13.
    Then, the resulting message is: "the specified file cannot be found"......
    How do I install the software?

    Your best bet is to download it and install it that way.  You can download the trial and use your serial number to activate it to full use (there is no difference between the trial and the full version other than the missing activation).

  • How to re-install Elements 10 onto iMac without hard drive?

    I originally bought Elements 10 on a disk, which I loaded onto my macbook. I have now bought an iMac, and the file transfer of the elements 10 from the MAcbook to the iMac didn't work. Adobe support tell me to re-install Elements 10 into the iMac. But the iMac doesn't have a hard drive and the adobe products page has my serial number of Elements 10, but it doesn't give me a download option because it was originally bought as a disk, not as software - so how do I reinsall elements 10 into my iMac?

  • How to downlaod and Install Elements 12?

    How to downlaod and Install Elements 12?

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-12-direct-download-links-premiere.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

    My hard drive crashed and nothing recoverable, local Apple Store installed a new drive.  How can I go back and download the apps I had purchased for my previous configuration, for instance Lion 10.7, and Photoshop Elements 10?

    A blank drive needs to be formatted first, you do that hold c boot (or hold option key boot) from the 10.6 install disk (or Lion USB)

  • I lost my filter plug ins when I install Elements 13.  If I choose one plug in in Preferences it installs it.  But if I try to choose another one it just replaces the first one.  How do I install multiple filter plug ins?

    I lost my filter plug ins when I installed Elements 13, i.e. Topaz Labs, Nik.  If  choose one plugin in preferences it will add it to the filter list.  But if I try to add another filter it just replaces the first one.
    How can I get my multiple plugins back?

    Sorry to jump on this thread, but it seems like I have a similar problem. Oh. BTW, Happy New Year!
    I have filters from Topaz, Imagenomic, ePaperPress, and Redfield. In the past when a new version of PSE came out, I just copied and pasted the folders w/ the ".8bf" files into the Plug-Ins folder of the new version. This time it didn't work.
    I have been searching for a clue. I came across a confusing comment in a post from some Adobe gal [that has been linked multiple times. It said:
    "Please click on Photoshop Elements in the top left corner and select 'Preferences'." The confusing thing about this is that I have no "Photoshop Elements" in the top left corner! As this is the first step, I'm stuck there...
    Here is what I see in the upper-left corner:
    When I click on the Elements 13 Logo, I get a small drop-down menu that has no "Preferences" option. I have versions of PSE back to 10 and none of them have "Photoshop Elements" in the top-left corner.
    BTW, I'm running Win 7 Home 64.
    I noticed that PSE 13 loaded into my Program Files folder, whereas all previous versions went to my Program Files (x86) folder. That indicates that 13 is running as a 64-bit app? Does that require different plugins?
