Mac Yosemite Photoshop Elements 12 track pad problem

Is Adobe fixing this? Need it fixed NOW!

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!
Regards,

Photoshop Elements Track Pad Bug

Several users of Photoshop Elements have posted to Adobe Forum and Adobe says they are preparing a bug report and urge complainers to send report to Apple. The track pad does not work with various selection tools (Quick Select, Lasso and don't know what else) in Photoshop Elements 11 and 12. It either crashes the program or just gives a spinning ball so the user has to force quit. Yet, these selection tools work with a mouse. Not sure if Photoshop Elements 13 has the same problem as I have not yet upgraded from 12 to 13. Not sure what else may be broken in Yosemite track pad use. Hope someone comes up with a solution soon as users of portable Macs are unhappy to have to use a Mouse when they thought they were getting a truly portable machine. The iMac trackpad is similarly affected so it seems to be a general track pad problem.

There are guides in the past couple of versions but not in PSE 6. Some of the add-on tools for PSE 6, like the free Grant's tools:

will give you the ability to create guides in older versions.

Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.

I have a similar problem. I found out that my macbook air created a new USER with my former's computer user name. You can check that by going into System Preferences -> User & Groups, and see if a "Other user" has been created. You have to login under this new USER to find your transferred contacts in the address book.
My problem is that I do not know how to merge the 2 USER logins or transfer the data from the new USER created into the existing one.

I have a Mac running Photoshop Elements 6. Will this work on Yosemite?

Hi,
Photoshop Elements 6 is not supported on MAC platform.

After I upgraded my Mac with Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 12 stops responding when you use editing tools like eraser, clone stamp.

This should help. Photoshop Elements doesn't respond when you use editing tools in Mac OS X 10.10

I have a 2010 mac book pro and track pad is not working well, is there a problem with that year?

I have a 2010 mac book pro and track pad is not working well, is there a problem with that year. I heard that the 2011's had track pad trouble.

All recent versions of Mac OS X use bash, so avoiding Mavericks won't help you with that problem (which isn't a problem for most users).
iWeb is another matter. My advise: migrate your website to Wordpress first and start thinking about upgrades later.

Hi keltystu,
You are doing 2 things wrong:
1. you are trying to run EXE file(installer) on MAC
2. You are trying to run a very old application on latest configuration which is not compatible and may not fulfill the appropriate requirement.
Thanks

The first thing to do is to download the trial and see if your serial number will work in the mac trial. If not, you will need to contact Adobe. This is just the user to user forum and we're just other customers like you.

Photoshop Elements 13 compatibility problems on Mac?

I used the trial version of Photoshop Elements 12. When I went to buy it the new version : 13 was out. I bought and downloaded it on my Mac and have not been able to get it to work. It says there are compatibility issues, but the system requirements say it should work? Anyone else having these issues?

UNfortunately we are out of town for the holiday and I forgot my computer. I was just trying to figure out this problem so I could fix it once I got home. I will send a picture of it as soon as I return. After my trial was over, the icon was gone off of my desktop. I didn't go into uninstall it. Do you think that will make a difference even though it's a different version? Thanks for all of your help! I'm new to Adobe and still trying to figure out my Mac as well! I appreciate your help!

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Language Problem

Hi all!
I've a problem with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor.
I bought Elements 10 Editor from the app store (I've a Mac) some months ago and I chose the english language during the installation.
Today it happened that, when I opened it, I found it totally in German! How can I restore english language?

This has been happening a lot to people who upgrade to Yosemite. Here's what adobe suggested a couple of years ago when it was happening to a few people:
Mac App Store version is German | Photoshop Elements

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Installation problem

The installation stopped with the following error: "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements could be installed. Below mentioned application has failed to install: Shared Technologies." My operating system is Windows 8 64 bit. I need help to finish the installation.

Tracking Pad problem/other stuff

Two days ago my 3 and 4 finger tracking pad commands stopped working. Restarting didn't help. Then after walking away while it was on and coming back a few hours later, the commands started working again. They worked for a little over 24 hours and now they stopped working again. What could this be?
Also, I have been having some other problems such as the audio jack continually resetting every time I change the input (I have to go to audio and midi settings every time and click the drop-down menu for it to work). The thread is here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11086478
Also 4 days ago a docx file wouldn't open that I wrote and saved on this computer. No matter what I do I cannot open it in word, only in the text editer program.
Any solutions to these problems would be appreciated, also let me know if they seem to be related. This computer is brand new so I don't understand why so many things would be going wrong this quickly and are unrelated. Thanks alot,
-Austin

Since this Mac is brand new, it's probably worth bringing all this to Apple's attention and letting them sort it out. No idea what is going on here, but if it is hardware related, they need to fix it or possibly replace the machine.
Good luck!

Photoshop elements 13 - RAM Probleme

Ich habe Upgrade von Photoshop elements 11 auf 13 gemacht. Leider kann ich nun nicht mehr als 4 Fotos (RAW à 30MB) öffnen. Fehlermeldung "zu wenig Arbeitsspeicher RAM" vorhanden. Habe versucht mit den Voreinstellungen in Photoshop etwas zu erreichen und am PC (4GB RAM, 32Bit) diverse Änderungen (msconfig, page files, 4GB Grenze aufgemacht und nochmals 4GB RAM installiert, etc.).
Fragen: Braucht PE 13 tatsächlich so viel RAM oder liegt ein Problem vor?
Kann ich PE 11 löschen?
Besten Dank für kreative Vorschläge.

"swollen battery" cause track pad problem?

I got my 17" MBP in June 06. All was fine until recently when I started experiencing the battery problems listed so many times here. Random shut downs, random battery readings, and finally, a bulging battery. Swollen out of the compartment. First call to Apple resulted in my being told their was "no documentation for this problem, first I am hearing of this".....I needed to "see a genius". Lo and behold, the discussions, where I found loads of documentation, as well as other websites. Called Apple back, and am being sent a new battery....HOWEVER....I inquired as to my track pad clicker not working properly, which started the same time as the battery problems..asked if this could be due to the "swollen battery" since it sits on the flip side of the track pad....again, I was told of "no complaints about that"........now again, I have found similar complaints in the discussions, but only a few. Is anyone else having this problem???? Please tell of any track pad click problems.
I don't think this has anything to do with the update to OSX 10.4.9....I think it has to do with the age of the battery.....most problems seem to be happening around the same age frame of battery.
I am new to discussion posting....please have patience if done incorrectly.

I was very glad to read this topic. I also am having trouble with my click pad on a 17" MBP bought in July 06 and am needing to replace a really swollen battery. I was planning on taking my computer to the nearest Apple store today but it is quite a distance. I hadn't thought about calling -- your post saved me a long drive:) I was wondering if I precipitated the battery problem because I tend to always have my computer plugged in. Just read that that's not the best thing for the battery.
