Photoshop Elements 11 will not allow me to open files after I updated my operating system

I recently updated my operating system with the latest upates. Now, I when I got into Elements and I try to open a file, the window where you normally click the file disappears before I can click anything.  Then I have to force quit because everything is grayed out and I can't click anything.  I have contacted adobe support but they said it is most likely a mac problem becuase the program works fine when I log into another user account. They said to contact Macsupport to check the permission for Adobe products on the current user acount.  Also, some people suggested to turn off the active corners, but that didn't work.  Anyone else have a suggestion?

I am having the same issue and all since I updated to the Maverick OS (well it seems that way anyway).  I am currently going through the process of repairing permissions, removing other pieces of 'non standard' software on the Mac, uninstalling Elements 11, doing a safe boot and then a download of the package again and trying a completley new install.  If this doesn't work it will be a fresh user account and start again.
There were some very helpful hints from folks about remmoving other unnecessary software which did help stablise other issues but I still cannot get Element to work.
You could have alook at these links to see if anything helps with your issues - the last one seems most relevant;

  • Photoshop elements 12 will not allow me to resize an art as it will not let me change the values in value boxes

    photoshop elements 12 will not let me change the size values in pixels or ht and widlth, or resolution. How can I fix this?  I have used this many times in the past and it has worked fine, but not today.

    That did not change anything. But think I may have discovered part of the
    problem. I found that if I use the numbers on the top of my keyboard,
    rather than the side, it will change the numbers. So may actually be an
    issue with a defective keyboard. will try to address that. thank you for
    your help. The problem seemed to be patched for the moment

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not allow me to back up the entire catalog.

    Photoshop 10 will not allow me to back up the entire catalog.  During its initial set up, when it runs the space needed, it stops at 18% and will not go beyond that
    Here is what I am doing.  In Elments Orgainizer, I am going to FILE, then selecting Back Up Catalgo to CD,DVD or Hard Drive, then I select- Full Back Up, then it goes to Calculate Total Media Space and that is where is stops at 18%

    Thanks for the response
    My OS is Win 7 Home Prem
    The catalog is over 60GB and over 31,000 images
    There are only a few videos in the catalog
    I am backing up to a hard drive that is a 2TB drive
    I can not even get to select the drive, as the system stops as it calculates the amount of space needed.

  • RPLN Plug In Missing - will not allow me to open files

    I have InDesign CS 3 version 5.0.4, Windows XP, on a PC. I created a book using several chapters for a 200+ manual. When I left work on Wednesday, 12/31/08, all files were fine. I did not change anything that I am aware of.
    This morning I came in, opened the INDB and most chapters had the warning triangle beside them. When I clicked on it, I got the message the plug-in was missing. I chose the option to open it anyway, but it would not open. Please, please, please tell me there is a quick fix to this.
    My customer is waiting as I write this for me to send her an updated PDF of the book for her to review.

    It seems very odd that so many others have had the exact same experience. Is it possible that Adobe put a time limitation on the version so that files done before a certain date wouldn't load. I wouldn't put it past them.
    No, there is no time limit on files created in any version (I still on occasion need to open files from 2001). Files created in Pre-release versions prior to CS5 will not open in release versions, but they usually produce a differnt error message that tells you that. Please send me one of these files and I'll take a look and see if I can determine the version it was saved from for you. I'm sending you a link to my drop box by the private message system.
    It's not terribly surprising that this comes up with some frequency. There's quite a bit of confusion about the version numbering system CS labeled versions all have "actual" version numbers two digits higher than the CS number and many users think they have CS3 when they have Version 3. This sort of warning virtually never turns out to be anything other than a version problem.

  • My recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 will not open.

    My recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 will not open. Clicking to open, will not reveal the usual “edit” or “organize” choice windows. Only the main “edit” working window opens. In a moment, a smaller window within will also open. It states “Photoshop Elements 12 Editor has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”
    I am running it on a Dell laptop with six gigs of RAM and a Core i5 processor.
    Should I attempt to reinstall? During original installation, the only thing I was not asked was to give blood! So, if reinstalling on the same machine is the solution, will Adobe allow this?
    Thanks,
    Frank

    I have tried and failed.  It was loaded from disc just purchased at Best buy.  It loaded fine but will not start up at all.  I have looked for the launch program and tried other methods but no success yet.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

    You are rude, to say the least.  It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible.  Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe.  The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with.  I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

  • Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them

    Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them. InDesign will, but illustrator keeps popping up with "can't print the illustration." i have read other forums and i understand outlining typefaces, and spot colors but, it still will not allow me to print. Even if i open a completely new file and just try to print a black square it will not allow it. the problem might have started with an emailed EPS file? but im not 100 percent sure. i have disconnected and re connected the printer but the problem just seems as if all Illustrator, and Photoshop files will not print from the program and the connection with the printer is non existent (even though it says it is). please help!

    Reset your illustrator prefs
    Hold fingers over Shift Alt CTLR (PC) or Shift Opt Command (Mac)
    Boot Illustrator
    Immediately after booting depress the 3 keys as fast as you can.

  • Organiziser in Photoshop Elements 9 will not start in Windows 8.1. Inkompartibelt programs.  What to

    Hej!
    Organiziser in Photoshop Elements 9 will not start in Windows 8.1. Inkompartibelt programs.
    What to do?
    /yoel

    Ok, I had many problems with the installation, but after three attempts I've got it working. This might work with a previously failed installation - but there are other guides in the forum to get this position -thanks also to the many threads on the this - which pointed me in the right direction
    Previously I'd had issues with Error 1935, (on Shared Technologies), Blue screens due to clbudf.sys from Cyberlink Instant burn which blue screened (thread abort exception) this install as also iTunes. (I haven't installed this now...
    My scenario. Win 7 (clean) -> Win 8 -> Win 8.1
    After setting up the setting up the system.
    I ensured the following : (although begrudingly) so I could do a system restore if needed.
    -I disabled Anitvirus & Firewall
    -enabled Volume Shadow Copy Service
    I then ensured I had downloaded Adobe Application Manager 8.0 (read this may help) - I installed - but I did not run it as I believe it updates to Adobe CC Manager( from previous attempts)
    i also downloaded and installed the 32 bit versions of :
    C++2008 redistributable (32 bit)
    C++2008 SP1 redistributable (32 bit)
    I installed Premiere Elements (64 bit) - note I had previously installed Sony Vegas 10 Platinum, which downloaded and installed NET 3.5/Net 2.0 adding to windows features, which many have helped - not sure.
    I installed Photoshop Elements (32 bit)
    I started both apps and updated them to 12.1.
    Happy ... finally - hope this helps others - or at least helps adobe improve their installer, diagnose the issue for others.

  • 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
