Photoshop elements 13 FREEZING every time with Mac OS X Yosemite

Just purchased Photoshop elements 13, upgrading from version 10.  10 was running slow in editor so I thought the latest version would be faster but not only is it slower & stickier but I can not open the organizer.  It freezes every time & I can not see my catalog pics.  A few pics load & the rest are question marks or sand timer.....Then it freezes completely & I can not do anything until I force quit.  I've tried most of the trouble shooting listed but NOTHING is working!! Please HELP!!!! So frustrating!!!!

yes, Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 for Mac, Windows - System requirements

  • Photoshop Elements 10 crashes every time I run it.

    Photoshop Elements Editor 10 crashes every single time I run it.  It simply freezes and I get a message saying "Program not responding".  I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but it simply will not run.  The Organizer runs fine but Editor just dies.  I have a brand new core i3 machine, with 4 GB of RAM and a brand new install of Win7 64 bit.  Any ideas??

    Can't check folder location now as I'm away from the PC.  However I allowed it to install with the default settings. As it's a 32bit application I thought it would install to the Program Files (x86) folder by default.  And yes I am running it from an administrator account. 
    The other strange thing I noticed before I had to leave work was that after installing Photoshop my Print Spooler service had crashed, not sure if this is linked.  Does Photoshop try and scan for printers on launch?  I tried stopping and restarting the service but it didn't seem to work, spooler still dead and Photoshop dead.  Also Excel 2010 now crashing on open, may also be linked the spooler being dead.  Word and Outlook both still running though.
    Will try and investigate spooler service issue further tomorrow.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 crashing every time

    I'm running on a Mac version 10.10.
    When I launch PS 11 and open a photo it crashes. It doesn't make any difference what photo I try to open.
    I have restarted the computer and of course relaunched PS11.
    I started with the command, option and shift keys down to reinstall the preferences file.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 crashes every time I open Help menu

    I just got a Bamboo Capture tablet accessory for my iMac from the Apple Store.  It comes bundled with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.  I installed Elements, yet every time I try to open the HELP menu it crashes and an error message comes up saying
    "Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 quit unexpectedly." 
    *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'launch path not accessible'
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.
    I have an iMac running OS X Snow Leopard
    Adobe won't offer any assistance unless I pay $39, even though I bought this product TODAY!

    Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elemetns 8 settings
    Repair permissions and try again. Also, I hope you didn't install the driver from the disc that came with your tablet. Go to Intuos's website and download the latest version.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 crashes every time I run the editor

    Every time I run the editor, the program crashes. The organizer works fine. I have a i7, Win 8.1 16GB RAM and 2GB video memory. Lightroom 5.3 works fine. I have the same problem with the editor of Premiere Elements 12.
    Any suggestions?

    Has it ever worked right? If so, I would start the editor while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
    If it has never worked, I would uninstall and reinstall, but be sure to disable your antivirus and anything from symantec/norton during the installation.

  • Photoshop elements organizer crashed every time I try to open.

    The first time when I tried to open photo shop elements photo organizer it shut right down. Tried 3x more times and the same thing. I thought maybe my initial install was corrupted. So I uninstalled and did a re-install. Tried to open again and encountered the same thing. I checked vis google and found out other people are having the same issue. I'm running win7 pro 64 bit. What is the solution to this problem?

    I wish I knew the answer as I'm having similar problems but with the Photoshop part which will not open. I get the moving bar and then nothing but in my case the Organiser opens. I also run Win 7 64bit and have deleted and downloaded the software at least 5 times with no success. It looks like a very expensive mistake and I wish I had never seen the software.

  • Why does Photoshop Elements 11 uninstall every time after my computer has been shut down/restarted?

    Every time my computer is shut down and I go to use photoshop, I have to reinstall the program completely. The icon is still on my computer screen but it's not downloaded. Please help!!!

    This has nothing to do with Adobe. You are running with insufficient user privileges and are not allowed to make permanent changes to the system. Make sure to install with admin priivileges and also tame system restore and otehr security functions.

  • My apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. can't restore.

    my apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.

    Sorted it out. If anyone has this problem i reccommend visiting http://forums.ilounge.com/ipod-classic-ipod-5g-video/237546-ipod-classic-80gb-fr eezes-itunes-need-restore-plz-help-2.html#post1403546 there's some pretty good advice on it. have to go into control panel and re-format iPod into NTFS file. good luck.

    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:

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system and version info or other technical details, including what you actually mean by "switch to black and white".

    Im trying to install Photoshop Elements premier 12 on my new Mac with the latest update and i keep getting the same failed to initialise message. I was able to register the key code at first but now im not able to either open the program or reinstall it.

    What is "Photoshop Elements Premier 12"? Do you mean Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements? Were your files copied over from a previous mac that had PSE installed on it?
