Photoshop Elements 11 boxed software installed once in Dec. 2012 won't install on new computer. Disk can't be read (tested on 3 different computers). How is that even possible of a meticulously clean, well-protected disk?
Dear Adobe,
I need your help!
On December 12th, 2012 I ordered (purchased) by mail an official copy of the boxed Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 software from B&H Photo (New York, NY). I installed it successfully without any problem on my then computer. I have enjoyed using the program since then, it’s great. This past week, however, that same computer died and I was force to buy a new computer (Windows 8.1).
To my big surprise, the Elements disk wouldn’t load off my DVD drive. The drive just kept “clicking” for 20 minutes. After trying several times from reboot, for an hour and a half, I then tried installing it on my laptop, just to see if my drive was faulty. No, it wasn’t. It too immediately went into an endless “clicking” routine trying to read the disk. And for one last try, I put it in my sister’s laptop and she got the very same result - endless “clicking”, no install. No computer could read the disk!!!
How is this even possible from a commercially made disk I used only once in 2012! The disk is meticulously clean, unscratched, unscuffed, put away in its original box and stored on my shelf in a cool place away from the sun!
Serial Number of faulty disk: 1057-4186-6029-0039-1511-3940
Is there anything you can do about this as I see no reason why I should be forced to spend over a $130 (in Canada) to replace a disk that worked only once!
Regards, Andre
copy your disc contents to a desktop directory. install from that directory.
if that fails, download the installation files:

It keeps saying that it is invalid for the second disk, but the first disk worked fine!

I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these? I saw a reply however, it was not my name and assumed it was for someone else. Now timed out. Can UI still have help on this matter please?
If you registered PSE before, go to the main page of adobe.com, sign in and go to your account and you should find the serial number there in your purchases.

Photoshop Elements 9 will not install.
I have installed Photoshop Elements 9 several times, and it does not complete installation. It loads about 80% of the files, then at the point of placing an desktop icon, the softwarw rollback. My operating system is Windows 7 64 Ultimate. My computer system includes AMD Phenom II X4 810, 8 GB RAM, GeForce NVIDIA 9600 GT (IRQ 18) and GeForce NVIDIA 8400 GS (IRQ 19). I tried to disconnect the second graphics card - no help. I have manually removed Photoshop Elements 9 from the registry and reinstalled - no help. The error status is 1603. When installing, I closed all Adobe software, anti-virus software, and Windows Firewall. I contacted Adobe customer service several times - no help.
Hello Mylenium, I tried everything in the Error 1603 | Install site that you sent me. And, still the installation of the PhotoShop Elements 9 rollback and will not install. What is next? Thank you, Paul

I purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 about 6 months ago. I want to install it to my new computer which is a Macbook Pro with no CD Drive. How do I install it when I got it in CD form?
I doubt the license is affecting the performance - it might be a case of the software being too old for the machine.
In any case, you can contact Adobe support thru chat and have them reset your activation count to eliminatre your doubts regarding the license.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

I just purchased a camera packaged with Adobe photoshop Elements 11. I have a mac book air- which does not have a cd drive. The package did not come with a code or anything that would provide me with another way to install photoshop that came with my camera. Is there any other way i can install this on my camera without using the provided cd or buying the software again?
That doesn't help the user with the serial code though.
There has to be some kind of code somewhere within the package. The disk itself does not contain one. You can look here for help with finding your serial number:

Tried the resetting options, but can't even get to preferences - nothing
will open. May have to find my Version 3 CD, or delete Photoshop 3 and get

Cannot get Photoshop Elements 10 Trial to Install - Windows 7 64-bit
Hi,
I cannot get Photoshop Elements 10 Trial to Install - Windows 7 64-bit. I downloaded the trail of Photoshop CS6 just fine. I am trying to download the trial of Photoshop Elements 10. I get the adobe installer window and I login in and select my PSE 10 Trial and the installation begins and I have it saved to my desktop. When the installation finishes nothing happens. There is a Photoshop Elements folder on my desktop but it is empty. I have tried a couple of time with the same result.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.Hi Ken,
I apologize for not making myself clear. What I meant by "saving to desktop" was when I I went to download the the trial of PSE 10 the install window will ask me where I want to save the file. It is defaulted (highlighted) to save to "my documents" but I selected to save the file to my desktop. I tried to install the trial of Photoshop Elements 10 again and this time it did install and is working.
Thanks again for responding.

I know the install package is valid because I installed it on my backup laptop (same Max OSX version) after I was having problems with my primary desktop and it installed fine. I have followed all the instructions on the install package including "restarting my system and installing again," and the install keeps failing with the same message:

Suggestions? thanks.Issue resolved with the help of Adobe Support (Mercer). My problem had been seen in another machine, there were empty folders in the Fonts Folder (Hard Drive>Library>Fonts) that the installer could not reconcile or delete, that was hanging up the Installer.
My fix was to delete the following empty folders from the Fonts Folder:
AdobeMingStd-Light.otf
BickhamScriptPro-Regular.otf
KozMinPro-Regular.otf
MyriadPro-BoldCond.otf
TektonPro-BoldCond.otf
And then re-run the installer (be sure to empty the trash).
My advice would be to first read the installer log and look for names of font folders that could not be resolved, then dump those. Another way would be to dump any empty folders in the Fonts Folder, empty the trash, then re-sun the installer. -

Just upgraded my MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012) to Yosemite 10.10.3 including Photos 1.0 which is not syncing with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Editor (already installed and prev ok with iPhoto)....any ideas please?
In iPhoto it was possible to go into the iPhoto prefs and set up Elements as an external editor. After using “Edit in” the image was saved back to the iPhoto library. Photos for OSX is very new, so I’m not sure whether that is possible with the new app. Have you looked for the prefs/settings? You could ask a question on the Apple forum:

Photoshop Elements 11 will not install. It says "Error 2343. Specified Path is Empty." Can U Help?
I purchased & downloaded Photoshop Elements 11. I installed it. Informed me some parts were missing, so I needed to uninstall it & reinstall it. I went to Programs & Features in Windows 7, & did just that. Then it informs me that it could not uninstall it properly. To try again. The program is missing now from Programs & Features. Can't find it anywhere where I can uninstall it. So, I went to Adobe to get it to uninstall. I keep getting this error; "Error 234. Specified Path is Empty" I have done everything! Cannot get it to install or uninstall. The Organizer is opening, but the Editor will not. I can't get anything to print. I have a deadline tomorrow and I cannot get any pictures to print. What am I gonna do? Can anyone please help me?
If you haven't committed to PSE12, yet, then you should be able to download PSE/PRE11 from this website. Be sure to follow the Very Important Instructions to set the Adobe authorization cookie, because the downloads actually come from Adobe:
