Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer will not open on Apple 10.6.8.

I downloaded Photoshop Elements 12 two days ago and opened and ran the program successfully. I've downloaded nothing new to the computer since then, made no updates. but today it will not open at all, giving me a message that Adobe Elements 12 Organizer cannot be opened. The error message reads: "Reason: Incompatible library version: dvacaptioning requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 6.0.0".
I've restarted my computer, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but I am getting the same error message as before. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Unfortunately, the pse 12 organizer won't work on mac os x 10.6.8 snow leopard.
As far as i know, there is no update or patch from adobe to resolve the issue.
Probably no fix from adobe is coming, since photoshop elements 13 is already out, and adobe very seldom patches older software that they no longer sell and i don't believe pse 12 was officially supported on mac os x 10.6.8 by adobe when pse 12 came out.

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.

Help. Photoshop Elements 10 will not open. I get Error message that says "Runtime Error!" and closes. What do I do? What does it mean? I bought Elements 10 at a retail store. It did work for a while.

Hi,
Can you post back with the following.
1. The full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook ( from the service tag underneath your notebook ) - see Here for a further explanation.
2. The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 32bit ).

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.

Photoshop elements 6 will not open!

Purchased photoshop elements 6. My dad has that one and recommended it for what I want to do with photos. It was the only elements in our budget and since my dad uses it, I figured instant help should I need it.
I tried installing it. It said it was installed, but it will not open. Tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it and restarting computer. Did not work. Tried to run it as an administrator. Did not work.
I have windows vista 64 bit.
If I can't get this to work, I know I won't be buying anything from adobe ever again and will tell all my friends that want to get into editing their photos to stay far, far, far away from photoshop elements.

Photoshop Elements 7 will not open

Photoshop Elements 7 will not open. Indicates an error message upon trying to
open application in Windows Vista.

Can you try some of teh trubleshooting steps at this link http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm.
Also try this once:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works. Let me know your comments.
Thanks,
Garry

Photoshop elements 9 will not open

I recently bought photoshop elements 9 and installed it. I opened it for the first time and it worked fine. I closed it and then went to open it again. It displayed the welcome screen and I clicked 'edit' the welcome screen closed and nothing happened. The organizer will not open either. Any solutions?

I received negative feedback as if I had isolated problems.
I was even given a 10 step solution to one issue with Organizer (which actually if you read it is 14 steps)
AND then when I said that I was not going to do a 10-14 step process for PSE which is designed for simplicity they questioned my logic about the 10 steps.
See for yourself :
1) Create a new folder #1
2) Create a new folder #2
3) Copy NEF files from camera card to folder #1
4) Open DNG Converter
5) Select source by browsing to folder #1
6) Select folder #2 for new location
7) Select preferences e.g. Jpeg Preview: Full Size
8) Click convert
9) Wait for conversion to finish and when successful exit
10) Open Organize, then click File >Get Photos >From Files & Folder (then browse to foldeer #2 & click OK)
I am looking at other programs like Aperture.
It is a MAC program and the Apple forum is as good as it gets otherwise the Apple Care and the in-store are a way of dealing with a real person.
The major difference I am told is Layers and frankly I never have used the ability in all the years I had PSE.
This forum is way too defensive, mistakes happen,

Need help, Photoshop Elements 11 will not open anymore.

I have Photoshop Elements 11 and will not open anymore, it hangs up on initial window with credits & version info. I tried everything I can think of, shutting down all the background programs, windows update, uninstalling & reinstalling the Photosphop. I am able to open the Adobe Photoshop Editor and I even updated the Adobe from Editor to see if that would help but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

You say:
it hangs up on initial window
but then:
I am able to open the Adobe Photoshop Editor
Does this mean the problem is with the organizer? If so, hold down the shift key when starting it and try creating a new catalog in the catalog manager that should open. If that works, go back to file>manage catalogs and try repairing and optimizing your real catalog.

PhotoShop Elements 8 will not open

I have been running PhotoShop/Premiere Elements 8 on Windows 7 64 bit system with an ATI Radeon graphics card since last August without problems. I have made no changes to my system other than Microsoft updates.
Yesterday when I tried to open either I get an error message that the OPENGL32.dll file is missing on my computer, and to reinstall the software. When I check the C/Window/System32 the opengl32.dll file is indeed there.
- I tried restoring my system to a date prior to my last use of PhotoShop, this did not help.
- I updated the driver for my graphics card to the lasted driver, previous driver update was from 10/2010.
- I tried uninstalling both PhotoShop and Premiere and reinstalling PhotoShop only. It still will not open, I just get a 'program not responding' and have to 'end task'. If I try to open an image file using the 'open with' and select PhotoShop Editor I get the same OPENGL32.dll missing error message.
Any other suggestions?

I seem to have resolve the issue on my own with the help of the following link:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/opengl32-dll-not-found-missing-error.ht m
I tried each option and finally option 7 seems to have fix my problem. After runing the sfc /scannow I am now able to access PhotoShop Elements 8 as normal.
I hope this will help others that may find themselves with the same issue.

Photoshop elements 12 will not open since updated Mac os to 10.10.2

why can't 12 open? I updated to mac os 10.10.2. And all 12 does is look for a scanner. will not open. Can anyone help?

Did you trash the prefs after updating to 10.10.2
Quit Elements.
Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following Folder/files:
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Settings
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Re-launch Elements
Also if you haven't updated, go to the help menu in Expert mode and install v12.1

Adobe photoshop elements 12 will not open photo editor crashes every time.

My elements 12 does the same thing I have seen written here over and over. Can not open editor, crashes every time. It is updated, reinstalled and administrator is set. Does anyone from Adobe read these boards?

I asked you to try that because one thing that often happens is that the dock icon gets corrupted, and it's best to get the simple obvious problems out of the way first.
What do you mean by "several students"? Is this in a classroom situation? Are these computers all on a school intranet together? We tend to assume here that you are talking about a personal version and a problem with your own computer, not an institutional installation, unless you specify otherwise.
If this is your personal computer, the next thing to do is to delete the prefernces. Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
Adobe Photoshop Elemetns 12 paths
and any lockfiles with the same names. To see the user library in 10.9, option click the Go menu in the Finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in the library, go to the saved application states folder and delete anything in there for PSE.
Repair permissions and try again.

Photoshop Elements 11 will not open

I have not been able to access my organizer for a month now, every time I try to open it I get a message that says "Elements 11 organizer has stopped working. A problem has caused this program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Does anyone know what the problem would be, and why it would stop working?
Thanks
Michelle

Try deleting the Organizer prefs.
Close the Organizer
The pref files are in the following location. Click the windows start button and choose your user name (in place of mine)
C:\Users\99jon\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\11.0\Organizer
Delete the psa.prf file (with key symbol)
Delete status.dat
Re-start Organizer
If you cant find AppData you may need to reveal hidden system files:
Control Panel >> Folder Options
Choose the View tab
Check: Show Hidden files folders and drives.
Click Apply >> OK
