Photo Elements won't open

I cannot get Photo Elements 11 to open. It installs OK but keeps asking me to to accept the licensing. I keep pressing the "Accept" button but it makes no difference. I have spent 6 hours trying to open this software but nothing works. I paid for this software.

    Also, I can't import my photos to my Windows 7 PC.

    Try rebooting your iPhone (holding the home button and sleep/wake button together until the apple logo appear)

  • Photo elements wants to open last used dir location. When it doesn't exist or cannot access, it fails to open.  How do you set the default file location?

    Upset!!!
    Photo elements wants to open at the last used folder location. When it does not exist or unable to open that location. It FAILS to OPEN.
    Does not seem to be a way to set a default location or to change the location.
    VERY ANNOYING.
    How do you tell photo elements to always go to a set location rather than the last used location?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    I did a test as you suggested - open an image on a removable drive, close the editor and took the removable offline. When I next went to the editor, it opened OK.
    From the screen shot in message #5 above, I think that the fault is with SolidWorks. I am not familiar with that product but it seems to be a form of asset management and it can't open its database - is that on the removable?
    Normally, the editor does not open any files when it loads except for it program files and any addins. Could SolidWorks be an addin?
    See if this works to reset the preferences.
    Create a desktop shortcut for this file
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Hold down the Ctrl, Shift & Alt keys when you double click on the shortcut. Keep the keys held down and eventually a message box will pop up asking if you want to reset the preferences - you do.

  • I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30

    I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30.
    This is Photoshop Elements 8, and I have the original disc with serial number so I can re-install that.
    The probelm is I'd need to de-cactivate the serial number before un-installing, and I need to open the programme to do that.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Okay, I've found that this is a recognised problem.

    and all the solutions tell me to find the folder FlexNet Publisher in my library.
    Problem is FlexNet Publisher doesn't seem to exist there. Can't find it anywhere on my hard drive.
    Gettting down to the end of that page gives me the following info....
    The FlexNet folders and files required to run Adobe applications can become corrupted or have permission problems if moved from one machine to another. They can also be damaged through a Time Machine system restore. FlexNet service licensing failures cannot be resolved by reinstalling the application or by using the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool. If permissions issues prevent the FlexNet licensing service from launching, accessing data, or communicating with Adobe processes, a licensing failure occurs.
    Well it looks like backing everything up using Time Machine may have caused all this problem. Anyone know how to get Flexnet Publisher back?

  • Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

    Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

     
    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
    Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.
    You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

  • I transferred my apps from one Mac to a new one and now my Elements won't open Why?

    I transferred my apps from one Mac to a new one and now my Elements won't open Why?

    You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE. PSE is not a tidy package like most mac apps; the installer strews stuff all over your hard drive and neither you nor the migration assistant can ever hope to find all the necessary bits and pieces.
    Now you have kind of a mess to clean up. First download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    It won't seem to do anything, but it's necessary in order for you to be able to successfully manually remove what did get transferred so that you can reinstall PSE.
    Then go around and remove all the bits you can find, not only from applications but from your user>library>preferences and especially from hard drive>library>application support. Note that those are two different libraries.
    Then you can reinstall PSE from scratch.

  • I Just updated the software of my iphone 4s thru phone, now the photo application won't open... Please help me what to do?

    Hi! I'm Ralph.. Just updated my iphone 4s from 6.1.2- 6.1.3. ... Now the photo application won't open... Please help me what to do

    Why would this be covered under warranty?  There is nothing wrong with the device, it simply needs to be restored.
    As already stated twice in this thread, disable ALL security software on the computer and restore the device.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Photo Editor won't open, trial info keeps popping up

    Okay, I own Photoshop Elements 11 but the Photo Editor refuses to open. When I click it, a pop up shows up for the trial version of PSE 11 saying I should buy it. I already have the lisence for PSE11 so i don't know what the problem is. (Also Organizer works but won't upload images and I tried the CRT+shift+Alt things but the delete preferences popup doesn't show.)
    I might have deleted a plug-in or something by accident, not sure if that would effect it but I did a systems restore.

    I don't want to re-install because my account says I can't.
    What exactly is the message you're getting?

  • Web photo gallery won't open on internet... why?

    I hope someone can help me with this.
    I always made slideshows with Photoshop until I got Elements. The newest version of Photoshop does not have that option anymore.
    I made a web photo gallery with elements, put it up in Dreamweaver, made a link, tested it on three browsers and it all worked perfectly.
    I then uploaded it all to a server.
    When I go to the page on internet, the link takes me to the index of the photo gallery but the slideshow does not open. It seems like the index file does not open the resource folder.
    I have compared the site on my computer with the site on the server and everything is exactly the same. The photo gallery is on th server with the index file and resource folder.
    I can't understand why the photo gallery doesn't behave on internet like it does on my computer.
    Can anyone explain this to me?
    I really like the way the new photo gallery looks compared with the slideshow made with my older version of Photoshop and would like to use it. Plus the fact that I can control the speed of the slideshow on Elements is a real boon.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I will try to be as explicate as possible.
    This is a site that I maintain for a marathon. This is the 10th year. The participants contribute a series of photos that I have always made into slide shows.
    I have a page that references slideshows from 2009 for example. I made these photos into slideshows using Photoshop CS3. The different folders are called "Slideshow xxx"  with the corresponding index file. When I link to the index file in a certain folder the slideshow opens in a blank page and wonderful.
    Now, this year, I have done the same thing using Element with the results I mention in my origiinal message: the photo gallery does not open in any browser  in spite of being linked to the index file in the web photo gallery I created with Element.
    What happens when I go to the index file is simply nothing. I do not get an error message.
    You can see for yourself by going to
    http://www.el-ocejon.com/fotos%202010.html
    and clicking on either of the two last options (the first links to a picasa page that is not a problem).
    The solution is simple: create a slideshow using Photoshop CS3 and forget the whole thing.  But I would like to know what the problem is here and why I cannot get the photo gallery created with Elements to work on the internet.
    Or is this a "two steps forward and one step back" issue with Photoshop?

  • Photoshop Elements won't open

    I've been using this computer in my workshop for simple things, mostly email, fb, etc. It has had Photoshop CS (very old, not sure what version) and Photoshop Elements 2.0 on it and both have been working fine. Just brought it into the house to use in the office after my slightly newer, but still old, iMac G5 died. I'm hoping to use it for a short time while figuring out what to do next regarding a newer computer. I've gotten it connected to printer and scanner with a bit of trouble due to trying to find old drivers again. That's really all I'm aware of having changed. Now suddenly PE and P CS won't open. I reinstalled PE (which is what I use most); no change. It starts to open, then just quits. I've clicked on "report" and see the following:
    Date/Time:      2012-04-11 00:02:41.529 -0400
    OS Version:     10.4.11 (Build 8S165)
    Report Version: 4
    Command: Photoshop Elements 2.0

    Of course there's lots more but that's the part with the bad words like "bad access" and "invalid address" and such. I'm hoping someone can tell me what is going on; perhaps you know what the above means? Or maybe there is some other clue here? I'd be grateful. Thanks for reading.

    PS Just to be clear, no major changes in software; I have been running both Photoshop programs on this computer, with OS 10.4.11, since getting the computer as a hand-me-down a couple of months ago. I did update OS, Safari, and a few other things at that time, as well as maxing the memory, deleting many programs and files I'll never use, etc. Installed PE 2.0 at that time. CS was already on it. Both have worked just fine. When I reinstalled PE the installer said it had installed properly.

    Well, just in case someone else checks in here with the same problem. Got both programs working just fine again. I hunted up other threads on the same topic; several had posts suggesting trashing certain plug-ins and/or prefs. I'd tell you exactly what but I did a bunch and not sure which solved it. With Photoshop CS 8.0, I deleted plist in user library; no change; then deleted twain plug-in, now it opens just fine. I don't exactly comprehend why, but so far so good. If I have any other useful observations I will post them.

    PS I ordered a PRAM battery and will replace that anyway, just because I'm certain it is quite old; perhaps this will prevent other problems popping up. I need to get a bit more use out of this nice old machine!

  • PS Elements won't open image

    I'm having a strange problem with the PS Elements 9 software on my wife's mini mac computer.  The program launches fine, and when I try to open a picture (any picture - I've tried lots) I get the various dialog boxes ("reading Photshop format", color mode conversion progress bar, etc.), but then no window showing the photograph.  No error message.   Also, none of the windows (info, history, layers, etc.) that I've selected show up.  If I go to the file menu to "open recent", it lists the photos I've told it to open but have never seen.
    I've tried uninstalling the software and then reinstalling it, but continue to have the same problem.  It worked fine when I last used it several months ago.  I have various other Photoshop software on my other computers (CS 5, CS 4) and have never had this problem.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

      The editor prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
    Hold down the Cmd+Opt+Shift keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or go to applications and hold down the three keys whilst double clicking on the Photoshop Elements Editor application.
    You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Close down Elements and re-open it in the normal way - then wait whilst it rebuilds the preferences.
     

  • My free trial download of photoshop elements won't open because of missing elements. I've already installed twice. What can I do?

    I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and now it won't open because it says there are "...missing files. Please reinstall."  I've already downloaded it twice and it still didn't fix it. Is there anything I can do to fix it? TIA.

    SkylaNicole what is the specific error which you are receiving when trying to open Photoshop Elements?

  • Photos update won't open past the "preparing library" page

    iPhoto just updated to Photo 2015.  I can't get to my pictures because the app won't open past the "preparing library" page.
    The iPhoto update, under Apps, won't let me resume the update - I get an error "this item is temporarily unavailable".
    Any ideas?

    Hi wolfey_j
    Welcome to apple discussions.
    Drag and drop the plist for iDvd to the trash followed by a full restart of your mac and then repair permissions from apple's disc utility (application > utilities > disc utility)
    The plist for iDvd looks like this:
    com.apple.iDvd.plist
    If that fails to resolve this issue then delete iDvd using this free download from apple's web site:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/appdelete.html
    You'll need to re-install iDvd again (custom install from the software that shipped with your mac or any retail copy of iLife'09). And lastly run apple's software updater from system preferences so all is up to date again. (not a bad idea to repair permissions one more time after updating all apps.)
    Hope this resolves the issue/s but if not just come on back.
    Good luck.

  • Elements won't open when trying to edit from Lightroom

    I was trying to move two photos from Lightroom to Elements to edit.  I click on the photos, tell it to edit in Elements and it goes thru the process, says complete, but Elements will not open????  I recently changed the default editor to CS5 with the alternate as Elements.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Oops, answered my own question.  Seems when I set up preferences, I goofed and somehow didn't get the correct app.  Sorry

  • Photo Layers won't open in element 12, from Lightroom 5

    I have tried exporting photos into elements as layers (From Lightroom) , once elements opens, nothing is showing. Curious if I am doing something wrong. If I just open the photos in elements and put them as layeres  manually, it works fine. I was just under the assumption I could do it from light room as well.(the option is given hence the assumption) just as a sidenote I did change output from 16-8 bit in preferences, that didn't fix anything, just read that on another site

    Ok, what is your operating system and the exact Lightroom version...
    Also what does it show in Preferences under External Editing:
