Photoshop 13 - No 'launch icon' after install

I installed (downloaded) Photoshop 13 on my laptop (WIn 8) and after installation noticed there is no launch icon on my desktop.  Also, there is not one to drag and drop from the installation files.  There is a 'setup' file, but when I click on it, it wants me to re-enter my serial number , HOWEVER, it won't let me enter the alpha letters which are in my serial number, only actual numbers.  This shouldn't be so difficult.

Of course, but it's best to check with the members Photoshop Elements forum. They can better answer your questions.

  • Shortcut icon replaced by windows file icon after installing 3.6.12 version

    using W7. After installing version 3.6.12 and changing the persona i noticed that the mozilla icon on the task bar was replaced by a windows file icon.

    You can try to reset the Windows icon cache.
    * Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
    * In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
    * Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
    * Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
    * Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
    * After the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
    * It is possible that the file IconCache.db is a hidden file and in that case you need to enable viewing hidden files. You can verify that you can see the file before doing the above mentioned steps.

  • Can't find icon after installing Elements 6.

    I installed Elements 6 after I replaced Hard drive, but when completed, there is no icon to access Photoshop.

    You will need to install Rosetta to possibly have Photoshop Elements function.  Please see If you need to install Rosetta - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html for details on installing Rosetta.

  • Getting Photoshop 7.0 to run after installing OS 10.4.3

    I saw too late the advice about cloning a system folder and migrating stuff back. So i have an installed 10.4.3 and a Photoshop 7.0 that won't run, even after re-installing it from the disk. The application appears as an unknown document and on double clicking it it fires up Fcheck (a Maya animation playback utility).
    I've taken the post-install clean-up suggestions listed elsewhere - use Disk Utility for disk trouble (none) and repair disk permissions. Cleaned the system cache and user cache using Yasu.
    any ideas out there?

    I dunno. Did updating to Photoshop 7.0.1 fix it?
    Maybe try this:
    Find the following folder:
    Adobe Application Support
    in here you'll find a folder called:
    Workflow, delete this folder.

  • How do I recover a lost password safe app icon after installing ios 7

    I can only access secure safe app by searching on my iphone as the icon is missing after the install of ios7.0.2. I have rebooted with no restore of the icon. It is not sitting in any other folders. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

    I rebooted twice and the second time worked. This seems to have resolved the issue.

  • Getting Loop Launching Muse After Install

    On one of the two computers I've installed the Creative Cloud on, I'm getting a loop when trying to launch Muse. (On the other computer it installed and opened just fine.)
    When launching Muse, I first get this message:
    I click Next, then I get this dialog:
    I enter exactly the same email address and password which is my Adobe ID. Then I'm returned to the first screen, etc. as long as I try.
    After reading a couple messages here, here's what I tried.
    I ran the Muse Uninstaller in the Applications > Utilties > Adobe Installers
    I tried to reinstall Adobe Flash and Adobe Air but was told that I have the latest versions.
    Then I used the Adobe Application Manager to install Muse again. When I launch Muse, I'm back in the same loop.
    Installed on MacBook Pro on Mac OS X 10.7.4. Also have CS6 installed on the same computer successfully.
    Any ideas?

    I was told to do the following to remedy the problem.... and it works... however, I have to do it every time I try to use Muse.
    The next step would maybe to clear your login information and retry.
    Close all Adobe applications
    Delete the following directories:
    Windows (Typeing these into the bar should get you to the proper folder to delete):
    %APPDATA%/../Local/Adobe/OOBE
    %APPDATA%/../Local/Adobe/MBLStore
    Mac:
    /<Your Username>/Library/Application Support/OOBE
    /<Your Username>/Library/Application Support/MBLStore
    Relaunch Muse and try to login again

  • Blank dvds eject and no icon after installing mavericks

    I have a late 2008 (aluminum) 13 inch Macbook and recently installed the new OSX Mavericks. I wanted to put some pics onto a dvd. Inserting a new blank DVD (tried more than one DVD), the internal drive sounds like it is trying to play/open the DVD ( no icon shows on desktop) ,then a window pops up asking for password. After putting in password, hit ENTER. The DVD ejects immediately. Looked into -System Preference - CD/DVD check settings nothing corrects problem. When I put a pre-recorded DVD (movie) Icon comes up and it will play the movie.
    Does anyone have any suggestions\
    Thanks DJ

    Hi,
    Insert a blank CD and boot up your Mac. When it boots to the Desktop, drag that CD icon to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

  • N95-1 V21.0.016 HIDE APPLICATION ICON AFTER INSTAL...

    I used Sandisk 4GB SDHC card with my N95-1 V21.0.016, currently had all my mp3, MV,internet links, photos, wallpapers, software, & games all installed in this 4GB card except "Yahoo Go" in phone memory (as advised by Yahoo), my 4GB card available memory is around 890MB left with 2,989MB used for the above. i found out that original Nokia apllication like "WLAN" icon, "Dictionary" icon, "Search" icon already HIDE in phone ...coz when i go to assign shortcut item, i found there are still exist & still can be assigned shortcut in navigation button but it won't shown in phone menu...anybody know why? I can say that it is pretty good to start a fresh upgrade firmware like V21.0.016 for N95-1 with fresh installing ie not RESTORE from previous firmware back up data...but we had thounand of valuable data ..so what can we do? So when think of this important data , we r sure to restore bac. Once restore sometime depends LUCK..If lucky enough all data restored is OK & workable but not all the time is so good..I already reformat V21.0.016 three times but there is some problem must be happen....tired !

    Something you are installing. Some third party application is causing this problem.
    Try NOT installing all those games and other applications or install one by one until you find which one is causing the problem.

  • The Source of my launch crashes after installing PP CC 2014 8.1 on 10.9.5

    In case this helps anyone experiencing launch crashes.
    After updating my OS to 10.9.5...
    and updating Premiere CC to 2014 (8.1),  the software would crash during launch.
    And the source of the crashes were old Red Giant plug-ins/preferences.
    These are the three places where I deleted the old Red Giant stuff (and old Premiere stuff):
    LIBRARY > PREFERENCE
    dump all the com.redgiantsoftware  stuff
    LIBRARY>plug-ins>FXPlug
    dump the folders like Colorista and Cosmo
    And the one that was definitely making it crash was
    LIBRARY> APPLICATION SUPPORT> ADOBE>COMMON>Plug-ins>Cs6 or Cs7>MediaCore
    Just get rid of all those MediaCore folders for Cs6 and Cs7
    After I deleted that stuff, Premiere launches just fine.
    I guess I need to get the new software versions from Red Giant.

  • Photoshop CC for winderz crashing after install

    Photoshop CC crashed nice and hard durring install with a generic error.
    The installer only goes so far as giving me an electonic middle finger- and then telling me to get ahold of Adobe Tech Support.
    By my the proverbial FU  response from Adobe I meen the damn thing says to go grab the Adobe Error Message Decoder Ring- that just says to come to the forums report my problem and hope that someone might read the forums.

    What does the error message say?

  • Cannot launch iWork after installing 9.2 ML update

    Hi guys,
    Since one week now my iWork09 is crashing when I try to launch it. I get an Error " check whether your version of iWork is compatible with this OS"
    Here are the steps which led to this:
    -  keynote, pages and numbers' are in the  iwork09 folder in the Application folder
    - recently I upgraded to ML by doing a complete erase and install of ML on my 17"MacBook pro (2008/09) running Lion.
    - I have made a new user/admin account with ML (had diff user acc for Lion)
    - Restored  iWork09 folder from time machine backup.
    - tried to install 9.2 update for iWork's, but software update couldn't detect it.
    - Downloaded 9.2update manually...installed it(don't know where?)
    Tried launching keynote, pages and numbers and got the error.
    To find a fix for this I checked the forum at apple and other sites on the internet and here is what I have tried so far:
    1- As I couldn't update iWork's 09 thru software update. I erased iWorks09 folder from the application folder, other iWork09 content from application support folder-rebooted. Checked/deleted again for any remaining .plist files.
    2- Again restored iworks09 from time machine.
    3- ran disk utility for repair permission and rebooted.
    4- launched App Store and ran software update. Luckily! App store showed the iWork's09, 9.2 update
    - downloaded the update, restarted my Mac and when i double click on keynote, pages or numbers, I get the SAME error about check the compatibility??
    I have done the uninstall/re-install 2 times so far and still can't launch iWork. I don't understand where am I going wrong or how to FIX this.
    I would appreciate if any of you guys can help.
    (I do not have the iWork install disk with me,  AND iWork 09 works fine without any problem with CC 10.7.8 Lion backup)
    Thank you.

    I guess the text coloring didn't stick. I'm referring to the "INFO: JNDI not configured for solr (NoInitialContextEx)" section of the log.
