Photo Shop Elements Startup problem

Not sure where to post this. I have owned PSE for quite a while and have used it successfully on my iMac but have been away from it for quite some time. I am now wanting to get back into it but have run into a problem.
When I click on the dock icon I get a window "Updating Adobe on line components from Adobe.com" and a message "Down loading file 1 of 2 - NO personal information is being transmitted" This goes on forever and PSE never opens. I cannot cancel and must force quit. Can anyone tell me what is wrong ?
Thank you
john

Hi John,
Which Photoshop Elements version.
My PSE 2 still does this check even though there is no further updates on the Adobe site.
(I really must change the Status about Checking for Updates)
The Setting is in PSE menu > Preferences > Adobe Online on mine. There are drop downs at this point
Try disconnecting from you internet connection so that you can get past this pause/internet check and reset the Preference once the App has started.

  • Photo Shop Elements 5 Problem with Windows 7 Premium Home Edition

    I have been using PSE 5 on a laptop with Windows 7 Premium Home Edition and everything worked fine.  I just got a new desktop running Windows 7 Premium Home Edition and I loaded PSE 5 on it and I can't get it to open up.  The new desktop has a 64 bit processor and this is the only difference as far as I know.  Has anyone else encountered this problem and were you able to overcome it?

    Thank you for your response to our query.  We already have the  patch.

  • Problem downloading Photoshop Elements with IE10 [was: photo shop elements]

    I am trying to install Photo Shop Elements on my computer which has Windows 7 and IE9 and it keeps telling me I need IE4 or higher to install it and quits the installation. Can anyone help me with this?

    It's a well known issue with the Adobe website and IE10.
    The website script has a bug which seems to think IE10 is IE1 (which is hopelessly out of date). So the download quits. Has been repeatedly reported to Adobe but not fixed - or even acknowledged by Adobe - yet.
    Workarounds:
    Use Compatibility View in IE10 (change to IE9) to fool Adobe's website to think you're using IE9
    Use a different browser.

    You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
    1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
    2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
    3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”
    It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Have your serial number available. The agent can directly troubleshoot your system if you agree to activate the Adobe Connect add-on.

    Is there a book for learning Photo Shop Elements 9 for getting your memory card downloaded and then making and editing movies?  Or is there a class in the Chicago, Hoffman Estates, Barrington, IL area?

    You can get the Classroom in a Book from http://www.adobepress.com (a susidy of Pearson). This will take you through pretty much everything, from start to finish.
    If you are looking to edit movies though, you will need Premiere Elements (the sister program to Photoshop Elements, which is used for editing images).

    Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
    Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

    I followed the instructions on the Web site to uninstall Photo shop elements 12 in windows 8.1 and when I did as it said there was no box to tick for deactivation so I carried on..  Can I just go ahead and install on another computer ?

    I don't know what instructions you may have followed, but as long as you "signed out" , then you will be fine.

  • Photo shop elements 7

    I have Photo Shop Elements 7 - using with Windows XP.  In the Organizer section, main menu, I cannot
    get the File, Edit, Find, View to show up without having to click on the double arrows first.  I would like
    them to appear as they do in Editor section.  Thanks for any help.

    If you follow the link in John's first option, you will find these instructions for XP:
    Reduce the Windows screen font size to 96 dpi.
    Choose Start > Control Panel > Display or Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display.
    Choose Settings > Advanced.
    Choose Normal Size (96 DPI) from the DPI Settings menu.
    Click OK to the warning, then click Apply.
    Click Yes in the General dialog box if it states that the required files are already installed on your desktop.
    Close the Display Properties Control Panel.
    Restart your computer.

  • Is there a Dutch /Nederlandse version of Photo shop elements 7.0

    I have installed a version 7.0 from photo shop elements  where in the start I was able to change the country to DUTCH ,the licence agrement changed to Dutch and was hoping that the program was in DUTCH after installation ,This was not the cash .
    Is there a download /update for this .

    Hi Jeff
    Thanks  for you email .
    The family in Holland was using a trail version of 7.0 and have bought a element 7.0 book to get working with photo shop .
    They liked the program and bought a version in Holland and installed this and was surprised that this was not in Dutch but English
    Having a Book for 7.0 and buying a new version 11 is not a option now as they have just spend 90 euro for the software.

  • How do I retrieve my photo shop elements 10 photos?

    how do I retrieve my photo shop elements 10 photos?   

    Photoshop Elements never stores the photos just links to them. They will be in the same location on your disk that they always were.
    If you are looking for photos on photoshop.com, Adobe shut this down last year. Compatible photos will have been transferred to a Revel account for you with the same ID and password - https://www.adoberevel.com/signin. Note though that PSE10 does not integrate with Revel like it did with photoshop.com.
    Cheers,

  • Hard drive crashed/ Photo shop elements 7 can't be reinstalled/license key valid for one installation

    Good Day All Forum People!
    My hard drive crashed! I cannot install my Photo Shop Elements into my new hard drive. The License key is designed for one download to one computer. How do I download not only my Elements 7, but as well all my tutorials/training videos.These are original videos not copies(I Paid For) in 2009 for college.
    YOUR HELP in this matter is greatly appreciated...Penny
    Have a mos beautiful Day!

    Photoshop Elements 7 can be downloaded thru the page linked below:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-7-8-9-downloads.html
    If that does not work for you then you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.
