Installing Elements 9 on my Mac Will this duplicate my existing photos on file (65K) ?

Installing Elements 9 on my Mac Will this duplicate my existing photos on file (65K) ? Or will it use a link to work on the pictures and save only the additions?

I'm not quite sure why you would think that Photoshop Elements would duplicate your existing photos. If you have had Elements 9 installed previously, and have a catalog, the new installation will utilize that catalog. However, Elements isn't going to automatically duplicate all of your images. Images are never actually "in" Elements. Elements simply points to the images wherever they are located on your system.

  • I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again

    I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists."  It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Installing Elements 11 on Mac. Need help with install error "Setup wants to make changes."

    Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error:  Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."  After entering Adobe password, nothing happens.  Locked from further installation.  Any ideas?  Adobe phone support could not help.

    Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.

  • Since installing snow leopard10.6, MAC will not sleep?

    Since installing snow leopard10.6, MAC will not sleep? Any ideas?

    Try reinstalling it:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    If this does not help, then try creating a new user account using Accounts preferences. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Does the computer now sleep properly?

  • Need to reinstall 10.4.7 over recently installed snow leopard... will this be a problem?

    need to reinstall 10.4.7 over recently installed snow leopard... will this be a problem?

    I don't use it much, but Quicken 6 still runs fine for me in Snow Leopard?
    Have a look at > snow leopard and rosetta: Apple Support Communities and see if anything there helps.
    Optionally you might want to consider installing Tiger on a properly formatted External Hard Drive partition > Apple Tips: Using Disk Utility 1. Format, Erase, or Reformat a Drive, then boot into it for running those PPC App's and keep your iMac on 10.6.

    Hi! I am interested in buying Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, swedish version. I will need to have it installed on 2 seperate PCs, will this work?

    Yes, it will work. One Lightroom license entitles you to in two installations for your personal use. In other words, it isn't intended for both versions to be in use at the same time.

  • When I issue the 'Force group Settings' command what effect will this have on existing flows? Do I need to disable WCCP prior to issuing this command on the affected WAE's?

    Hi WAAS Experts,
    I have a query, when I issue the 'Force group Settings' command what effect will this have on existing flows? Do I need to disable WCCP prior to issuing this command on the affected WAE's?
    Thanks,
    Shankar K

    Hi Shankar,
    A change of classifier/policy on the WAE is not affecting the existing flows so you shouldn't need to disable WCCP if you want to force group settings there.

  • I just installed elements 11 with camera raw 7.1. My  photos from iPhoto will not open in camera raw

    I just installed elements 11 with camera raw 7.1 in my iMac. My raw photo files from iPhoto will not open in camera raw. The elements screen opens without a photo, but camera raw willnot open. Help.

    You need to tell iphoto to send raw files out of iphoto or it will make its own conversion and send a pre-converted file. Go to the iphoto preferences>advanced and turn on this checkbox:

  • Installing Elements 12 on Mac

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Elements 12 on my Macbook Pro 10.8.5 OS and at the point where it indicates you need to sign in with an Adobe ID, I click on the sign in button and it processes indefinitely without allowing me to enter any information. I previously installed this software on an older Macbook, so I have my serial number and Adobe ID already, but I have since uninstalled it from that computer. At this point I am not even able to install anything because I cannot get past the sign in option. I have restarted both the disc and my computer, turned off all programs and firewall, and updated my computer completely. Any assistance you can provide is appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for the response. Is there anything specific I should look for in the activity monitor that may impact my ability to install the software? I checked it last night when I was trying to install and nothing stood out to me. I am already installing as an administrator, but will check again to make sure there aren't any interferring permissions.

  • If I install lion on my Mac, will it fix the bugs that I have from tiger?

    I have some small bugs that have crept into my system in the last little while, and am not positive on where they came from.  One that I just found is themes in iPhoto are missing or not available.  If I was to install lion on my Mac, would it possible fix these little bugs, or do I have to do something mo intense than this.  I am no where near an expert on the Mac, so I don,t want to get into searching through folders to find out what the bugs might be, hoping that installing lion would be an easy fix for this.

    No. iPhoto is not included with OS X. Furthermore, if you have a system not working properly then upgrade it to a newer OS X version you will likely introduce more or worse problems. I would repair the drive and permissions then consider some maintenance alternatives.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation.  TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible;  Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided.  Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.  Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Lion Cache Cleaner, CockTail, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

  • Installed Elements on my Mac...where did it go?

    I'm using the Akamai installer to install Elements on my new Mac desktop.  I open it, it runs through the steps, gives me a "your software has been installed" message...so, where did the software get installed??? I do not see it anywhere on my computer!  (I am a new Mac user though so maybe I just don't know where to look).  Any input or assistance would be very much appreciated!

      Its usually in the Support Files folder but you may have to enable the viewing of hidden files.
