Installing trial version PSE 8 for Mac

I have just downloaded the free trial version of PSE 8 for Mac - or I thought I had.  I ended up with the Akamai Client Installer icon, the PSE_8_WWEFDJ disc image and the icon for Adobe PSE 8 (a blue disc) on the desktop.  When I open either of the latter two, all I have is the Read Me document.  I was hoping to be able to actually use PSE 8 and compare it with Aperature before deciding what to buy.  Have I done something wrong or is this all I am entitled to with the free download?

You may have already set one up with a password from your original utility disk.
If not there are a number of video tutorials available on line.

  • Install older version of Firefox for Mac OSX 10.4.11

    I accidentally downloaded and wrote over the Firefox version I had with the new 7.0 version of Firefox after I read that my Mac OSX 10.4.11 is not compatible. Is there a way to download an older version, a compatible version of Firefox?

    None of links I tried for Mac on the page http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html are working. But I found a version on the FTP server: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.28/mac/

  • PSE 8 for Mac won't Install; running Snow Leopard 10.6.2

    Hi,
    When PSE 8 was released for the Mac, I bought a copy from Amazon.  I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on two 24" iMacs and one MBP 15.3.  The Adobe installer would hang about three quarters through the installation.  I'm running PSE 6 for Mac without a problem.  I returned the software to Amazon without a problem.
    A month or two later I downloaded a trial version from Adobe's web site thinking perhaps the DVD I had gotten from Amazon was possibly defective.  Nope.  Same problem trying the trial version.  It just hung about three quarters through the install on all three machines.
    I'm running Photoshop Extended CS 3 with Snow Leopard and have no problems.
    What gives?
    Thanks,
    Linnie K

    Hi,
    I wouldn't know.  The first copy I bought from Amazon and returned.  The second one was downloaded from your web site as a trial and I removed all the bits and pieces after killing an hour with the installer.  I didn't think I could download the trial version a second time.
    I'm using a Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.2.  My Photoshop Extended CSS3 and PSE 6 work just fine.  I'm afraid that if I deleted all you had suggested, I would have trouble reinstalling the two apps I just mentioned.  From what I've read on various forums,, Mac users (not all) are still having difficulty installing PSE 8.
    BTW, this is the only app I've had any problem installing on my system.  I deliberately waited for v. 10.6.2 to install the newer OS as there were earlier incompatibilities.
    Thanks,
    Linnie

  • PSE 6 for Mac, how to install the new layer mask tool

    I just bought the new PSE 6 for Mac, whew what a change in the color of workspace.
    My classmates and I are wondering how to install the free layer mask tool that Sue Chastain has on her About site.
    Or perhaps first, has anyone used it and do you like it?
    Do you put it here?
    http://www.jcarter.net/mac-stuff/layermaskthing.jpg
    Havent been to this great forum for a while, been busy, I miss you all, and shall try to visit more often.
    I remember when I was a beginner at this, I learned so much here and you all were amazing help!
    Thanks,
    Jane

    Hi Barbara,
    Its this one,
    http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/p/layermasks.htm
    So I assumed afterwards that it wasn't for Mac. So I went ahead and installed the older action for my PSE 4.
    I was hoping it was platform agnostic, but when I looked at this, the difference between the 2 versions,
    http://www.jcarter.net/mac-stuff/previewfolder-missing.jpg
    Not knowing where the Previews folder was, threw me overboard.
    And I didn't read all the way down Sue's page, as my old brain got ahead of my eyes.
    So I really dont know what to do next with this, some of my classmates are wondering the same thing.
    Thank you,
    Jane

  • I can't install trial version for final cut pro x

    I can't install trial version for final cut pro x on my computer..

    What are you trying to achieve?  Are you editing movies as a hobby? Or trying to build a business – and, if so, what kind?
    iMovie is the first thing that comes to mind. Not the depth of FCPX, but it can still do some excellent work.

    Matt59 yes you can install Photoshop Elements 13 separately.  The evaluation process is software title specific.

  • PSE 8 for Mac stuck on "preparing to install"

    Hi all,
    Just received the disk of PSE 8 for Mac as a present.  I try to install and it gets stuck on "preparing to install."
    Equipment:  MacBook Pro  Running 10.6.2  
    Have Lightroom 2, Lightrroom 3 Beta, Acrobat 8 Pro, Flash Player and Community Help Client
    Previously i bought and downloaded PSE 8 but I had the same issue.  I 'returned it" and got my money back.
    Ideas please?
    Best,
    Scott

    HI Scott,
    Copying the text from your post on the other thread which really helped in understanding this issue:
    Scott says:
    "I double click the disk and use the setup.app to install.
    It checks  the sys profile.  I then put in my serial number, etc.
    Then it just  stays on “Preparing to install”.  (How long is it meant to do this?   Maybe I am not waiting long enough?)
    I click the install button.  It goes  grey and then back to white.
    Eventually I lose patience and quit out."
    Your issue is definately different than the one which could have been resolved by the Tech Doc link which I sent you earlier, actually there are two time the string "Preparing to install.." is shown during the installer workflow, first during the initialization process before the Welcome Screen is shown to the user and second for 1-2 seconds between the transition of user clicking on Install button and Progress Bar being shown to the user. Since, in your case, installer is stucking at Progress bar, the Preparing to Install string is visible evidently to you. A screenshot would have been really helpful in understanding this issue. My bad I should have asked for it...
    Regarding the current situation, the workaround here with which Barbara tried to help you, will not work, because your's is very specific and rare issue which we have seen reported only once before on the forum, so I am sure we will get it sorted out.Please follow the below steps:
    1. Go inside the <Macintosh HD>\Applications\Utilities\Adobe Installers\ folder.
    2. If there are any uninstall alias of Adobe sub components like ESTK, Extension Manager, Bridge, Adobe Updater, etc, then please invoke that installer and uninstall all those sub components.
    3. Now try to install PSE 8 again.
    4. If it still doesnt work, then please run the CS4 clean up script for Mac, and select CS4 from the drop down and let me know what all applications it is listing in it as available for cleaning/deleting.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406241.html#CS4CleanMac
    Please keep me informed, if anything doesnt work out then eventually we will setup a time to meet over the internet and I will get this issue resolved.
    Regards,
    Ankush

  • Raw images do not show up in Bridge CS4 for PSE 8 for Mac

    I just downloaded PSE 8 for Mac and my raw files no longer show as thumbnails.  I can open them in Elements, but the image is blank in Bridge.  These same images were fine in CS3 (PSE 6 for Mac).  I have downloaded and installed the new Camera Raw 5.6 plug-in but that didn't work.  Any suggestions?  Thank you!

    You have to update bridge separately from PSE, and bridge ships with a pretty old version of ACR. Just go to Help>Updates in bridge and it will update itself for you.

  • PSE 8 for Mac says "License expired"

    Hello.
    I am having a problem with PSE 8 for mac.  The situation for my software is complicated but it my be germane.  I download the trial version of the software and liked it.  I put the software on my wishlist.  My in-laws got a copy of the software for Christmas, but they bought the windows version from Costco.  Because Costco does not sell Mac software, I called up Adobe support and asked if they would cross grade me.  I did not want to return the software at Costco and not be able to get it.  So, I thought I would call Adobe and see what they could do -- cross grade could be a win/win.  They said that they would if I sent the serial number.  I did that, then they said that I need to pay $25 to cross grade, which I did not want to do.  I asked them to just give me a permanent serial number.  Adobe eventually did give me a permanent serial number for the PSE 8 trial and that is what I have been using.
    At about the time of the 10.6.3 update, PSE stopped working giving an error message "Licensing for this product has expired".  I tried a number solutions listed on the support site here at Adobe, but no have worked EXCEPT turning back the clock to 2008.  Is there a way to get this to work without having the clock wrong?
    Thanks.

    This shouldnt have been the case. I am sorry that you are experiencing this issue.
    Can you please try to do the following:
    1. When your system date is in year 2008 and you are able to work successfully with PSE Editor, go to Help Menu inside Editor and click on the link saying Help->Deactivate...
    2. Select the option to erase serial number and deactivate the product.
    3. This will quit PSE Editor as well.
    4. Launch PSE Editor again and now supply the serial number which Adobe gave to you again...
    Hopefully, this error message wouldnt come now...Please keep me informed...
    Regards,
    Ankush
