Need to reinstall Photoshop Elements - will I lose my catalog?

I have a Mac. I posted here before stating my program is unstable, and cant do anything as it locks up as soon as I do anything. My only choice now is to try and remove and reinstall, as not other options were afforded me.
If I remove the program via the Finder - will I lose my catalog, or connection to the catalog, when I reload the software? I have 35,000 tagged and organized picrtuires and cant afford a goof.
Is there any way to "fix" it in place?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi,
Please uninstall from the uninstaller that comes with PSE. Catalogs remain intact upon uninstall so they would remain as is.
Also, which version of MAC do you have?
Thanks

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

If i had that number I could manually rebuild my collections into the photoshop elements 12, but all that i see in photoshop elements is dates and i have multiple pictures from the same dates. HELP!

    finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
    ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
    error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
    I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
    then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2  and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP  computer and mess up the existing catalog,
    unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12  and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
    I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • I downloaded version 11 for the itunes library and updated my ipod to ios6, today when I click to open itunes, it wont open and says I need to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library?

    I downloaded version 11 on itunes and updated my ipod to os6, when I try to open itunes now, it says it downloaded incorrectly and won't open. It says to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library if I reinstall itunes?

    you will not loose your content at all. It is still sitting in your hard drive even if you uninstall itunes.
    Once itunes will be reinstalled , it will re-sync your stuff on your hard drive

  • I need to reinstall Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10. Where can I find the download link?

    I need to reinstall Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10 on my Windows Laptop. Where can I find the download link?

    If you registered your copy with adobe, you may find download links by going to the main page of adobe.com and clicking on My Adobe and working through the links there. If they're still available there, save the downloads this time, don't just run them, since adobe only makes those available for about 3 years.

  • I reinstalled photoshop elements 9. Now the organizer will not launch. Why not?

    I reecently reinstalled photoshop elements 9. Now the organizer will not launch.Why not?

    I am assuming you are using welcome screen to launch either Organizer and nothing is happening for you.
    Open task manager and check under process tab is there any process named elements organizer.exe is running, if so end the process and relaunch the PSE again.
    Also, Please let us know are you able to lauch Organizer/Editor from there exe's or you are facing the same issue. The paths are-
    Organizer: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe

  • I reinstalled photoshop elements 6 to my computer and now it won't let me register it. How do I fix this?

        I had to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop elements 6 to my Windows 7 computer because the brushes were glitching on me, and now it won't accept my serial number to register it to my computer. I received it from a bundle package when I installed my tablet back in 2008ish. The warning is "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet". I have retyped it several times to make sure I put the right number without any luck either.

    Not for free, no.  Well I guess there is.  Don't sync your phone.  We don't, but then we only use it for talking and taking photos which you can transfer using even a pretty old computer.
    Some people don't seem to need 10.7.  Discussion suggesting iOS6 will work with iTunes 10.6.3 for some phones - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4324248

  • Link to reinstall Photoshop Elements 7.0

    Is it possible to get a link to reinstall Photoshop Elements 7.0 as there is a file missing in mine and it will not open?

    If you purchased from Adobe you might find a link in the 'My Orders' section of your 'My Adobe' account.
    If not, in the comments section on http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-photoshop-elements-8.h tml/comment-page-1 there is a link to download PSE7. Just below the link to the file is a link to the download instructions. You must follow these EXACTLY or you will likely get a 404 error, an authorization error, or download v12 instead. Note that you will need to supply a valid serial number when installing the product. If you've lost that, but did register it, then you should be able to find it in the 'My Products' section of 'My Adobe'.
    Proving it does work if you follow the instructions -
    Cheers,
