Installing Photoshop Elements 2 to new iMac w/Tiger

Recently bought new iMac and had trouble running Photoshop Elements 2 after installation. First I transferred via firewire from G4 wOSX 10.3.9 to iMac w/10.4.11 putting the PE2 folder in the iMac Application folder. I thought the application launched at first on iMac. But at launch now I get "Downloading Files 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 from Adobe web" whenever launched. The "2 of 2" blue progress bar goes all the way to full eventually but ball spins forever and must do a force quit to get out of Photoshop 2.
Next I tried reinstalling from original CD and put in correct S/N from CD, etc. but same symptom? Is there a compatibility problem with the application and Intel-based machines w/Tiger?
Any ideas?
Louie

SOLVED!! ...I don't know how to apportion credit! Thanks to both Barbara and Ezdso!
What I did was first disable the internet (both Airport and Ethernet) to stop Photoshop Elements 2 from trying to update from Adobe. Then I was able to reset preferences by pressing Shift Option Command at Launch of PE2 before it went to the internet to pull down Adobe files.. When I then started the application, PE2 seemed to momentarily complain that there was no internet connection. Anyhow, bottom line is, after then quitting the application and reconnecting to the internet, Photoshop Elements came up as it should and seems to be working fine. Thanks also goes to Ezdso for the link in Elementsvillage.com which described the problem that I was having. Thanks to both of you. I think I'll move over to Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac soon as I have the DVD for Leopard and will switch to that soon most likely.
Regards, Louie

Photoshop Elements freezing new iMac Alum 20"

I know a lot of people have noticed freezing with Leopard in general but we have tied it to Photoshop Elements.
New Alum 20" iMac.
After initial install of Leopard we experienced no issues with freezing. The computer was running great.
Then we installed PhotoShop Elements (latest version bought < 1 month ago) and then the computer wouldn't last 20min without freezing. Removed Photoshop and reinstalled. Still Freezing. Stripped out Photoshop and computer is now running fine for the last 24hr.
Anyone experience this? We need to get photoshop back on the system but I'm not willing to risk continuous freezing. Anyway to trouble shoot this further. I'm curious if its the Adobe Bridge application, the update utility or PS itself. We also noticed a drop in performance of IPhoto once we installed PS which returned after PS was removed.
I'm defining freezing as No keyboard input, the mouse is responsive and moves but unable to click on any buttons. The only way to recover is to force the computer to shutdown with the power button.
Mainly looking for any troubleshooting techniques for handling such a problem.
Thanks Mark

PS runs fine on my Mac under Leopard, but I've yet to launch Bridge since the update.... Have you used Bridge yet? I think it isn't compatible with Leopard, but PS is completely Leopard compatible........

Can I install OS 9 on new iMac w/Tiger?

I just got a new iMac with Tiger installed to replace my old G4. I would like to continue to use some Classic-run software on the new iMac. Do I need to install OS 9? Can I?

Hi, pjh1044, and welcome to Apple Discussions. If you have an Intel-based Mac, Classic is not supported on it. SheepShaver, a third-party hack, may allow you to run some Classic applications using a proper installation of OS 9.0 or 9.0.4, but not 9.1 or later.

Failed to install Photoshop Elements on my iMac

I failed to install my old version Photoshop Elements 2.0, purchased with camera as package. Once I click the installer pop-up message say "You must be logged in as an Administrator to install this product...". I am actually the only user and adimin on this system. How to resolve it? I searched some cased in the community and tried but couldn't find a good solution. Any expert knows? Thanks!

What are the specs of your iMac?
What version of OS X are you running?
PS Elements 2.0 is very old. This version is for old Macs that used Motorola PowerPC processor chips. It will not work on your iMac without your iMac running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard running a PowerPC emulator app called Rosetta.
If you ard running OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mt. Lion, this version of PS will no longer work.
You'll need to update it to a new, compatible version.
Also, any version of PS is CPU! GPU! RAM and HD hungry.
You may find you'll need to increase the amount of RAM memory in your iMac to run PS Elements.

How to re-install Photoshop CS on new iMac? [was: Installing]

My old PC crashed and died and I lost all of my files and programs. One of the programs I lost was Adobe Photoshop CS. I talked to a chat tech and she sent me a free link to re-download the program. It download ok, but it will not install. I now have a iMac and the file download was a Mac version, but it will not install.
The message reads: The software is an unidentified developer.

The message reads: The software is an unidentified developer.
What Ned said.
That error/warning is from the new Gatekeeper feature in Apple's Mavericks operating system. It's not from Adobe.
Gatekeeper is supposed to protect you from malware but it often causes more problems for the end user (like this) than it solves.
Having said all that, you will not be able to install Photoshop CS2 (the link you received to re-download CS was actually for CS2) on your new iMac running Mavericks (OS X 10.9+)
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
CS2 and earlier versions were written for older Macs running older non-Intel processors. Macs stopped using those several years ago. They now use Intel processors which are not compatible with the older processors.
CS and CS2 (10+ year old software) will only install and run on older (10+ years old) Macs running Mac OS X v.10.2.8–v.10.3.8. PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor. There is no version of CS or CS2 which will run on modern Mac operating systems.
With your new iMac running OS X Mavericks on an Intel processor, your choices are to buy CS6 or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee to run CC.

Re-installing Photoshop CS6 on new iMac problem.

I transferred my Photoshop CS6 to a new iMac Retina running OSX 10.10.1, having taken care to deactivate on the old Mac first and then reactivated on the new. Photoshop comes up with an error message now each time I launch saying that "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necassary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop." So I did just that with my original installer disc. At the end of that process it said that there had been some errors and referred me to a log file which said:
Despite all this Photoshop seems to be working, but every time I launch it I get the same error message. I've not used it enough since the move to the new Mac to discover if any other faults have developed. As well as using my original install disc I also tried downloading the CS6 installer from the adobe.com site but exactly the same thing happens. I would welcome suggestions for a fix...

Alas, this did not work. I first of all tried the reinstall in Safe Boot mode and at the end of the process exactly the same install error message as shown above. I then moved to the part of those instructions that said to ditch Adobe AIR and reinstall it. AIR was not visible anywhere on my machine, nor did that folder /Volumes/Adobe Master Collection exist. Maybe there's a difference between what CS6 installs compared with the CS5 your instructions refer to (?). So I went back to the Adobe.com downloads page, got Adobe AIR and installed it - during that it told me it was upgrading my AIR (wherever that was hidden - Find file could not see it) to version 16. Otherwise no reported errors. I went a step further and used the Uninstall tool to remove the existing CS6 installation, then tried reinstalling Photoshop - again same issue, same error. So I'm no further forward after several hours of trying different things.
Any more ideas please?

I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new Windows 8 computer (I recently upgraded my windows 7 computer where Photoshop was working fine on before). It says the serial number is invalid. Do older versionsnot work on Windows8, or do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first?

You are allowed to have two activated installations. If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?). Talk to Adobe support thru chat. They might be able to resolve this with you:

There is no serial number for CC Cloud versions. They are authenticated via your Adobe ID.

Why am I getting an invalid serial number response when trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 on my new Windows 8.1 PC. It worked perfectly well on old now defunct Windows Vista PC

i'm not able to install Photoshop Elements 10 on my new PC. I'm told the serial number is invalid. Why? It has 24 digits separated into 4 digits at a time by hyphens. Am I typing it wrongly?

i just had same issue. never installed on old pc which is a window 7 convert from xp. Now installing on laptop dell win 8, would not accept number. so i decided to install on the win 7 old pc (which has no firewall security because I'm dumping machine) and it worked. So I turned off firewall on win 8 machine and it worked. I had read that you should turn off the fire wall. Try that. Di

I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13.

I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this. You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts. Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.

I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro. Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File Import menu?

I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro. Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File>Import menu?

There was no driver update available (it said my driver was up to date), so I just deleted the scanner and restarted the computer. when it came up, the scanner had already been added again. With great anticipation I tried to import from Photoshop...but no luck (scanner was not visible). I finally ended up calling Epson (had great difficulty in locating a number for support) and they finally told me there is no driver update for OS X 10.10 and I should as a work around use "Image Capture" application. I tried it, and it works quite well.

I threw up the box before installing photoshop elements 13 and now i can not installed my brand new photoshop because i do not have a serial number

When you buy software, the serial number is really what you're buying, since the software is typically downloadable. So don't throw it away in the future.
If you registered the software before you threw away your serial number, then Adobe may have a record of your purchase.
