Issues with Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 on iMac

Hello Members,
I no longer have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 registered on any computer as my previous computers crashed and the hard drives were no longer functional.  I tried installing the Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 Disc on my new iMac computer and it's telling me that I have installed this software on other computers which have exceeded the maximum installations.  Could you please let me know how I am able to use the same license number and install this software on my iMac computer? Thank you.

You need to contact support directly for activation/deactivation and other installation issues. It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away.

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop elements 10 on my iMac gets hung up at 9% and fails to complete.

    I purchased an Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner which included a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.  whenever I try to install Elements 10 on my iMac, it hangs up at 9% and doesn't complete.  I am using the correct Adobe disk for Mac.  What can I do to get this program installed on my iMac.

    Can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements, I bought recently, on my two different computers; one is PC running Windows 7 and the other is iMac running Mac OS 10.6?
    Yes, PSE is cross-platform, anyway.
    As my Adobe Photo Shop Elements 10 came bundled with the 'Trial version'  of Adobe Premier Elements 10, can I purchase the 'Serial Number' only and how to do it?
    You just buy a normal license as a download, if you so desire. This gives you a serial and a download option, the latter of which you then of course will not need and can simply input the serial in your disc install.

  • Can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac from CD

    I can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac I just purchased. The software is brand new, the CD appears to read fine. The instillation "on-screen" instructions are not popping up. I have had the software a minute, purchased it new but was waiting till I could afford an iMac. Any suggestions?

    How are you using a CD with a new imac? They haven't had disc drives in years.
    Try downloading from here and use the serial number from your boxed version:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
    However, there are a couple of other things to try. First of all, PSE 9 has both mac and windows discs. If the disc doesn't mount on the desktop, then you've got the wrong one. Go get the other one and when it appears on the desktop, double click it.  Then double click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, double click Install/Setup (can't remember which it was for PSE 9, sorry). There is no automatic install for PSE for mac, since macs have no autoplay function for security reasons, and there isn't any window with instructions, either. You just keep double clicking till it installs.

  • Problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - Rollback action issue.

    Im having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
    The problem is right at the end of installation, it says status is registering and then immediately does an action rollback.
    The message "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again."
    I have also created a new administrator account and after rebooting tried to install it but with the same result. It appears to get to the end of the program install but falls over just before the Organiser install. There are no error messages. AV and surplus programs have been stopped. Desktop clean up run.  XP machine well within required spec.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Which version of PSE? Older versions are simply not compatible. Only 10 and 11 are.

  • I can only install adobe photoshop elements 12 but not able to install adobe premiere element 12 with the serial number to my macbook

    why I can only install adobe photoshop elements 12 but not able to install adobe premiere elements 12 with the same serial number to my macbook?
    Photoshop Elements

    PSE and PRE have different serial numbers. If you bought both programs you should have two separate serial numbers.

  • Is it safe to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

    Is it safe to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?  I just upgraded from 10 to 12 and wanted to know if it is safe or if there would be any issues with uninstalling and removing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. 

    Yes you can, if you are happy with the way PSE12 is running.
    However both apps will happily co-exist, and there is no duplication as both use the same images on your hard drive.
    PSE10 also has some features now removed from PSE12 as Adobe transitions towards 64 bit applications. See my PSE12 first look link:

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements Causes My Computer to Cut Out on Booting UP!

    I have installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer running windows 7 64 bit. I did not appreciate the problems. The first time that I installed it the computer shut down as soon as it was loaded and from then onwards it shut down within seconds of the computer booting up into windows. I used system restore to take the computer back to before Elements 10 was installed. The computer kept on switching off after windows had booted up. Took it into the technician who thought the PSU was at fault and he put in a new unit. The computer then worked fine until I installed Elements 10 and again the computer switches off as soon as windows as booted up. I have again used system restore to take the computer back to before Elements 10 was installed, still it switches off shortly after booting into windows. What can I do to get things to work properly?  I have a brand new computer that I am unable to use as a result of installing Elements 10. I am typing this on my old computer running Vista 34 bit with Elements 10 installed and all working well. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    I have had a similar experience - Elements organizer crashed and even when not running, my computer froze after a few minutes.  My PC had never crashed before this installation.
    I found a solution though...
    After a little sleuthing using task manager, I found that all the memory in my system (4GB) gets suddenly hogged (within seconds) by the "Elements Organizer" process (3GB) ... I found the service correspponding to this process, "Adobe Active File Monitor v10", stopped it and set autostart to manual.  My PC no longer crashes.
    I think Adobe needs to look into this one - it has all the hallmarks of a nasty memory leak. 
    A couple of possible clues as to why certain systems don't take well to this service:
    - I have a few very large video clips (2hours+) on my PC
    - I installed trial products like light room, CS5 before settling on Photoshop+Premiere Elements - could leftovers after uninstalling cause conflicts?
    - I have other video editors on my system that I don't use, like Corel VideoStudio and Sony Vegas.
    Thoughts?

  • Trying to install Adobe Photoshop elements 8 on MAC 10.6.8

    Trying to install Adobe Photoshop elements 8 (that I bought a while ago and never installed) on my MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo, OS 10.6.8.
    When I insert the PS Elements Disk, a PSE page came up with Read me etc which I read.  I clicked on the blue PSE folder and a window with Bootstrapper.dmg came up. I clicked on that and a window opened asking me to type in my administrator passsword to allow Setp to make changes, which I did, twice... and then nothing happened...
    Is there something else I am suppose to do? OH, another mounted drive appeared in Finder with a long name... "EFBB...........". When I opened it, it had an assets folder  and two .js files (whatever they are)...
    What more do I have to do?

    I think I figued it out... But why installations instructions didn't come up when I inserted the disk was very annoying. And because they didn't, Adobe should post th installations instructions somewhere on their support site. Not here now, which is also annoying.
