Installing PSE 9 on my new Computer

Hi All,
I had purchased and installed Elements 7 on my PC and then I upgraded through the Adobe site to Elements 9.  So I have an actual installation disk for 7 but not for 9.  I have a serial number for my purchase of 9.
I recently bought an IMac and I would like to install 9 on my new computer.  However I only have the disk for 7 but I paid for the upgrade to 9 on my original PC.
How do I install Elements 9 on my new computer without an installation disk??
Thanks,
Cristina M.

Well, I'm afraid you'll have to buy PSE again. The thing is that if you'd bought the disc version of PSE 9 you would have gotten a serial number that works on both platforms, but with your download serial number only works in Windows. I don't know why adobe does it that way, but they do, so it doesn't matter about installation media--your serial number won't work. Downloads are always tied to one platform, either mac or windows, unlike the boxed versions.
Adobe does offer a crossgrade, but for PSE that isn't sensible, since they always send the most recent version and charge the upgrade fee, and for PSE you can find the full boxed version most of the time for less than Adobe charges for the upgrade.

  • Installed PSE 13 on new computer with PSE 11

    I used Laplink PC Mover to move contents of my old computer to a new computer. That included PSE 11. When I tried to open PSE 11, it didn't open. Decided to "upgrade" to PSE 13. I bought and downloaded and installed PSE 13. Organizer in PSE 13 opens, but shows no photos, albums, people, tags, etc. All the pictures transferred. I can find them using explorer. They don't show up in Organizer, and I don't want to lose the tags, captions, etc.
    It ought to be easier.
    Thanks for your help.
    After getting PSE 13 to work, should I or can I remove PSE 11?
    Tried chatting with Adobe, but was receiving "we are still assisting other customers, thank you for your patience" for over an hour. Gave up.

    Neither Laplink nor Adobe make this clear when moving to a new computer. It should be easier.
    There is practically one post every day about the migration process of the catalogs in this forum.
    On the other hand, there is a link on the welcome page of the present Elements forum.
    But...
    It is not mentionned in the faq page. (If Adobe employees browse this discussion...)
    The real problem is that it's not a question people ask when learning the program and reading help files and tutorials. Only when they need to migrate.
    So what happens when it's time to migrate?
    - those with scarce knowledge about computers will ask in this forum or search for solutions on the Web.
    - those who are at ease with computers will think they know... and fall into the trap that restoring on a different drive will not work and create disconnected files.
    What do you think?

  • Installing PSE 11 on new computer.  How do I bring PSE 10 organizer from old computer?

    I purchased a new laptop.  Yay me!  I want to install PSE 11 on the new computer.  I have PSE 10 on my old computer.  How do I bring the organizer for PSE 10 to the new computer without installing PSE 10 on the new computer?
    Thanks for any help!

    What you need to transfer is the catalog, not the program.
    The correct way to transfer it is to create a backup from your old computer on an external media (external USB drive for instance). That will save your catalog and the catalogued picture files in a format that PSE11 can read to restore both pictures and catalog on the new PC.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
    You have to run the backup from the old computer and the restore from the new one. In a first stage, all your pictures will be recovered on your new PC, then the PSE10 catalog will be converted to the PSE11 format automatically.

  • Installing PSE7 in a new computer

    I've installed PSE7 in my new computer. I am going to transfer the catalog from my old PC. I have done a complete backup on the old PC. The Adobe instructions say to install PSE on the new computer which I have done. It says to open Organizer which I have done. It then says to choose File>Restore Catalog from CD, DVD or hard drive. When I open Organizer on my new PC, it is missing the File, Edit, Find, View, Window and Help commands. the Home icon in the left corner is there and the Undo, Redo, Display and Editor are to the right side. Where File, etc. should be is blank. How do I get those commands?

    Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
    It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE9 requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
    Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) won’t. Sometimes the mouse or tool cursors are distorted.
    Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops, and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE9 requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality.
     

  • How do I Transfer PSE to a new computer?

    I have a new computer.  I was using PSE 11.  I have the key.  How do I get it on my new computer?

    After installing PSE11 on the new computer it's best to use the backup and restore method to preserve all your keywords, version sets and albums etc. You start in the Organizer on the old PC.

    Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
    Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
    CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
    How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?

    It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10.  You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
    You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

  • I am getting the message "The windows installer Service could not be accessed when trying to install Itunes on my new computer, any help would be appreciated.

    I am getting the message "The windows installer Service could not be accessed when trying to install Itunes on my new computer, any help would be appreciated.

    Hey there Frank0619,
    If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
    Issues installing iTunes for Windows
    These in particular: 
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Download the latest version of iTunes.
    The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig: 
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
    Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
    Restart your computer.
    Install iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

    I doubt the license is affecting the performance - it might be a case of the software being too old for the machine.
    In any case, you can contact Adobe support thru chat and have them reset your activation count to eliminatre your doubts regarding the license.

  • HT1751 Just installed itunes on my new computer.  My music is on an external drive.  How do i get newly installed itunes on new computer to recognize the music on the external drive?

    I just got a new PC, thank goodness.  All my music is on an external drive (F).  i installed Itunes on my new computer.  Now want to get itunes to recognize all the music on my external drive.  Don't want to put music on new computer, but keep on external drive.  Can anyone help me - thanks

    Was the media solely on the external library?  If so, it is likely that iTunes was started at some point with the external drive unaccessible.  Simply point iTunes to the correct library location.  To do this, close iTunes.  Hold <SHIFT> and launch iTunes.  When prompted to find library or create a new one, select the find option and point iTunes to where the iTuneslibrary.itl file is at on your computer (or external drive).

    when you were install your cs3 you should have been prompted for you serial number.  were you?
    if not, you probably didn't properly install cs3.  copying/migrating/moving etc is problematic.
    if yes, did you see any error messages during installation?
    if yes, attach a screenshot of the error message.
    if not, check you install logs, Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC

    The same way you would have on an older computer. You run the install program from the CD or the download you saved. You will need the S/N to complete the install. If you are no longer going to use the old computer, be sure to deactivate Acrobat on that machine.
