Photoshop Elements 2.0 won't work on newer Mac OSX

I use a MacBookPro and when I finally upgraded my OSX system to 10.6.8, my Photoshop Elements 2.0 no longer functions. There is no error message. The program closes and this message appears...
"An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit."
Is there any patch or upgrade that I can download to make this program work on the newer OS? I don't feel I should have to pay for a whole new software program when I've already purchased the license for Photoshop Elements 2.0.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Joe,
The system requirements for 2.0 are at http://hiddenelements.com/elements2_requirements.html
I am not sure if those are the official reqs but that is what I was able to dig up. Photoshop Elements 2 is a very old version, the current one being 10.0. You could try your luck by posting your query on http://feedback.photoshop.com. The experts on that forum should be able to guide you.

Photoshop Elements 4 is too old. It was written for PowerPC Macs and will not work on new Intel Macs. There is nothing you can do about it.

Photoshop elements 4.0 won't work

Adobe photoshop 4.0 won't work. After installing a hp scanner, I upgraded a driver for it and had problems. So I did a system restore for oct 2009 and now photoshop won't work.I fully uninstalled all my adobe programs except active x then reinstalled photoshop elements. I have had a series of errors including "error reading configuration file" and "adobe help cannot start model effor subsystem 1" I searched this and found the updated help file and installed that. So once I open adobe, i can pull a picture into it then it won't work. Every button I press just gives a ding sound.

You mean to say you are able to run but when you try opening any image it crashes. Can you try resetting the preferences:
Click on the EDITOR icon -- the quickly hold down CTRL+SHIFT+ALT keys, this will generate a dialogue box to delete settings.
try and let me know

Photoshop Elements Editor Function Won't Work

After upgrading to Windows 7, the Editior function on my Photoshop Elements 6 program stopped working. I have tried the following: Run as Administrator. No success. Compatibility Troubleshoot. No success. Reinstalling. No Success. Anyone have any suggestions?

Please try the below solutions-
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
4. Try launching directly from the exe of editor and organizer and see if it gets launches-
Editor - c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe

Panasonic KX-p7105 printer won't work on new mac - has disk for Mac OS 9.2

I finally switched to a Mac and am so disappointed that my great laser printer won't work. It prints pages of gibberish. My driver disk is for an older version of mac and won't open. I get a message saying "You can't open the network setup tool because the classic environment is no longer supported." I've since searched the net for drivers and can only find windows versions. Is this hopeless? Should I return my Mac (I'm still within the 14 days and don't want to buy another laser printer).
Any options?

Here's what John was talking about:

You need the 3-part hpijs driver:

Photoshop elements 10 backup won't work

I've used PSE 10 for some time, but only backup about twice a year (full backups to both external drive and dvds stored offsite). It won't let me backup to my K drive (external), doesn't even start before stating that it has encountered an error writing the file. The external drive works fine; just backed up using Windows BU. I've repaired, optimized, and reconnected files to no avail.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Thank you for your help. I was trying to backup my catalog to an external drive. Are you saying i can't backup to an external hard drive? I wanted to do two backups: one to an external hard drive and one to dvds that i would store offsite. I was not trying to copy images because i wanted the whole catalog, including the indexing features of Elements Organizer. I've determined a way around this is to use disc spanning software (Roxio) that will backup the very large image folders to multiple dvds. Then, i must be careful to also backup the catalog separately. The problem with this is only if i need to restore the catalog and images. I believe i must replace them in the same drive path for the catalog to work correctly, which can be a problem if i am using a different computer for the restore destination. Then, the drive letters may or may not match. Currently, i have everything on my D drive because it is 2 TB, whereas the default installation is the C drive. I just wish Organizer did this for me, but i guess it's just not going to work, so i'll use Roxio unless you have another idea. Thanks again.

Photoshop Elements 12 download won't work

I have contacted the helpdesk in India several times. Instructions are to download 2 files -- a .7z file and an .exe file. Extract files from the .exe file then use the setup file to install from the .7z file. I am unable to extract the files -- I keep getting this error message:
"A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on our computer and the write privileges on the destination folder."
There is no lack of space on my new computer, and I have write privileges on the destination folder.
How do I deal with this?

both files should be in the same folder. you then click (or double click) the exe.
any problems yet?
if yes, what files (name and extension) did you download and what are their sizes?

I cannot open Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor. I am working on a Mac. I get this message: "Could not complete your request because of program error". If I am in Organizor, that message will have a black box below it that says "Loading the Adobe Photoshop

I was using the program yesterday. I am just learning the program. I learned to download pictures by opening I-Photo and directing the edit process to Elements Editor. Then I stored the pictures in a album in Organizer. This morning when I turned the program on, I received the message above.

Oh, dear.
If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

Script won't work on newer Mac

Last year, I wrote an Illustrator script (that pastes something into multiple files) for my coworker who works remotely. It worked fine.
Recently, she upgraded her Mac to OS 10.8.5 (but still uses Illustator CS5) and now the script does nothing-- the dialog boxes come up, but instead of pasting the contents and saving the new document it dies. Since she is not in my office, fixing this problem seems challenging.
I'd like to make sure I am not missing anything big and easy, like OS 10.8 having broke something in the script. Though that seems unlikely to me, is it possible that her Mac is the problem? Any thoughts?
Here's the script:
/* HOW TO USESETUP: Have PDFs in one folder. Create a directory in that same folder called "saveloc"IN ILLUSTRATOR:
1. Have the document open with the object you want pasted into each file selected
2. GROUP selection
3. Copy the selected item
4. Run the script: File->Scripts->Other scripts (choose this script from selection window
// this var holds the selection that was copied
var docSelection = app.activeDocument.selection;
// if there is a selection made...
if ( docSelection.length > 0 ) {
     // brings up dialog box which asks you to select folder of files to modify
     var fold = Folder.selectDialog( "Choose the folder CONTAINING the files you wish to modify", "~" );
     // all the files in the chosen folder will be stored in "files" array
     files = new Array;
     // looking only for PDFs in chosen folder
     fileType = "*.pdf";
     // fill array with PDFs
     files = fold.getFiles( fileType );
     // loop through all the chosen PDFs (that populate "files")
     for ( i=0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
          // opens each document in selected folder
          app.open(files[i]);
          // add a new layer
          app.activeDocument.layers.add();
          // paste in what's in the clipboard
          app.paste();
          // assign the pasted stuff a name
          pasted = app.activeDocument.selection;
          // position pasted stuff [x, y]
          pasted[0].position = [(19.215),(993.523)];
          // put the layer with the pasted item at the bottom of the layer stack
          app.activeDocument.activeLayer.zOrder(ZOrderMethod.SENDTOBACK);
          // stores name of the open doc
          var dsname = app.activeDocument.name
          // gives the new file name (same as old) a path to save location
          var saveName = new File (app.activeDocument.path + "/saveloc/" + dsname);
          // some PDF saving options are set...
          saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
          saveOpts.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT6;
          saveOpts.generateThumbnails = true;
          saveOpts.preserveEditability = false; // "false" keeps file size low
          // save it!
          app.activeDocument.saveAs( saveName, saveOpts );
          // close active doc
          app.activeDocument.close();
// ...if no selection is made, send up prompt
} else {
     alert( "Select an object in this file, and then COPY it" );

W_J_T's link had the answers. Here's how I got the script to work in Mac 10.7:
I changed this line:
var fold = Folder.selectDialog( "Choose the folder CONTAINING the files you wish to modify", "~" );
to these 2 lines:
var fold = Folder.selectDialog("Choose the folder CONTAINING the files you wish to modify");
fold = new Folder( fold.fsName.replace("folder://", "") );

Firefox 4 won't work on my Mac OSX 10.4.11, it says Firefox 3.6.17 is not secure?

I keep getting messages to upgrade to FireFox 4, and it will not open on my Mac OSX 10.4.11. I get messages that the 3.6.17 version is not secure.

Firefox 3.6.x versions are still updated with security patches (Firefox 3.6.18 is due in about two weeks).
You are unfortunately out of luck with an Intel Mac and OS X 10.4.11.<br />
There is a compatible version from for a PowerPC Mac, but no alternative for an Intel Mac.

Program won't stay open. Message; "Photoshop Elements 12 editor has stopped working."

This started happening suddenly a day ago.
Once I bring a photo into the program a window appears reading, "Photoshop Elements 12 editor has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working. Windows will close the program & notify you if a solution is available."
The program has been working fine up until a day ago.
Please advise a fix.

Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\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.

Photoshop elements 11 albums won't sync

Photoshop Elements 11 albums won't sync with ipad using iTunes.
I was using PE10 and synced my albums using iTunes to my iPad 3 iOS 6.0 and 5.1 just fine. (itunes 10.7.0.21) I upgraded to PE11 and it goes into perpetual sync when albums are selected. I deleted some albums and added test albums in PE11 and those changes are not reflected in iTunes.
I worked with Apple Care for about 2 hours uninstalling all of the Apple software (iTunes, etc) and reinstalling. That did not fix it. Apple declared it an Adobe problem and suggested I call them.
I worked with Adobe about 45 minutes before they declared it an iTunes problem.
Any ideas out there?

I solved the mystery. It had to do with the file metadata in the Photoshop Elements catalog. When I moved the catalog (pictures) from my old machine to the new machine, the path (folder location) of the images changed. So, although the catalog had cached thumbnails of the photos to display in Photoshop Elements (which tricked me into thinking that the path to the images was correct), the paths were actually wrong. All I had to do was “reconnect” the missing images (a feature in Photoshop Elements which corrects missing/wrong paths to images) and now everything works correctly (sync in iTunes).

Will Photoshop Elements Premiere 11 for Windows work on Mac?

I bought Photoshop Elements Premiere 11 for Windows download from Dell, registered it with Adobe and downloaded it onto my Mac. But it won't open up without the right application. What application? And where do I get that? Or do I need some patch so the Windows version will work on Mac?

the windows version won't work on a mac unless you install a windows emulator and install it on that.
even easier, you can use a cross-grade: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l

Photoshop Elements 11 - Photo Editor not working

The editor on Photoshop Elements 11 has stopped working. I have tried to uninstall Photoshop Elements 9 and failed, this may have caused this problem. Is there a way to run a repair of the applicaiton? If not, will I lose what I have in my catalog if I uninstall and reinstall Photoshop Elements?

You won't lose any photos or catalogs by reinstalling (there's no repair install). However, before you do that, try restarting the editor while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
