Photoshop Elements 2 Quits Half Way Through Loading ?

I installed PSE 2 on my new iMac but when launched it gets about half-way through and then quits with an error message saying there is some sort of terrible problem.
The actual wording is:-
"An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit".
Is this a known problem with this old application ?
It installed from the CD without a hint of a problem.

Wow! You got yourself a great machine there, Ian. If mine wasn't just a few months over a year old I'd be tempted to go for a nice 24 incher myself .
PSE4 is nowhere near as fast as PSE6 on our Intel machines. On my 2 GHz machine PSE6 boots up in 11 seconds whereas PSE4 did so in about 25. When loading up multiple pictures at a time PSE4 was pretty sluggish about it (I never actually timed it) whereas when I do that with 6 it does so in a flash. For instance I just now timed the loading of 6 color images and it did so in 3 seconds.
And yes there are a number of new features with it but for me the speed and responsiveness over PSE4 make it well worth while. I do a lot of image editing and retouching and that's the reason I favor the quickness of response of the application. That said there are also some things that one has to get used to about the new interface. Here's a review about that:

It comes with a manual but I got myself a copy of "Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac: the Missing Manual" by Barbara Brundage which is far more comprehensive and much easier to follow. If you get PSE 6 I highly recommend that you get a copy of it also.

HT201272 songs quit half way through playing and next song begins

I just downloaded an album and each song quits half-way through and the next song begins playing on pc computer

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

I've tried to place an iphoto album order and it quits half way through the up

I've tried to place an iphoto album order and it quits half way through the upload process. A prompt comes up saying "iphoto quit unexepectedly". It always quits at the same spot, page 17. I've tried many times. It worked last year when I made the same type of photo album. Anyone have any ideas? I have a MAC OS X 10.6.8
thanks!

What version of iPhoto?

Please Help. Photoshop installation failed half way through

Initially I had downloaded the photoshop CC2014 trial once, I paid I wanted the CC version because I need the oil paint function which was taken out on the CC2014 version, so what I did is uninstall the CC2014 which was installed and working and proceeded to install the CC version but midway through installation it kept failing and telling me to restart my computer, I have done that at least half a dozen times, plus I've also tried the following:
> I uninstalled every adobe app I had including CC
> I have used the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner tool app
> Have restarted my computer so many times I lost count and I still get the same error, half way through the installation process
> And now the same thing is happening when I try to reinstall illustrator, this is a nightmare!
BTW I'm not running any other software while doing this and have turned off the fire walls
I'm on an Imac OS X version 10.9.5
Please help I've spent so manny hours trying to solve this, it's driving me crazy and need to complete some work in photoshop I have deadline.

Tat7 I would recommend reviewing your installation log files for actionable error messages. You can find details on how to locate and interpret your installation logs at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html. You are welcome to post any additional errors you locate to this discussion.

HT2499 I inserted a brand new DVD and it quit half way through and gave me the "skipping over damaged area" message.

I got this laptop refurbished from Apple in July. It was originally released in October 2011. I have watched DVD's on it previously, but lately, in the past 3 weeks, it's been pooping up the "skipping over damaged area" message. I put in a brand new DVD and half way through, it did it again, and I can't get past it. Any thoughts on what the problem may be?

You can just open Terminal (in Utilities) and run the rm command (make sure you type it exactly) and then reboot. With /.AppleSetupDone gone the system will think it is the the second part of an installation, i.e., after it installs and reboots and starts the Setup Assistant. You will see the Welcome and music all over again and then you can go through the setup prompts again, this time specifying a password.

Bought photoshop and gets half way through downloading and my macbook crashes.

I have bought Photoshop after using a trial. I uninstalled the trial and everything to do with it and yet when it comes to downloading Photoshop through creative cloud it gets part way through and my whole macbook crashes. I'm wondering whether this is my macbook or photoshop?

Safari keeps crashing half way through loading a website, ebay is the worst affected.

When I try to open certain websites they only half load and crash. Ebay and facebook are the worst. How do I prevent this from happening? Thanks!

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
If "No," first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

App frozen half way through loading, won't delete.

I was downloading a new app from App Store. It wasn't loading so I decided that I would just delete it and start again. Now it stuck, as such. Even when I make the icons "wiggle" it does not come up with the "x" to delete it with? It is also dull in colour and won't work at all.

Try this:
To check and clear incomplete downloads on your phone, just launch the iTunes application on the iPhone> tap Downloads> resume or delete any incomplete downloads(you can slide your finger across the name of the download to see the Delete option).

My Ipod Touch 4 froze during the actualization and is stuck half-way though loading from few days now. How can I reset it? I tried everything and it wont even switch on. HELP!

It wont switch off or keep loading. I switched it off from the itunes, on, off, on, and back again. The load bar ?(the one under the apple sign when your ipod is switched off and loading) is not even half way through loaded. Is there a special button to reset the ipod? I honestly care If i lose all info. I just want it on!!!

If it is currently off, you can put it in recovery mode then do a restore, then restrore from backup. I have a history with...kinda...messing with my iPod Touch so I had bricked it a lot. You can put it in recovery mode by:
Having your USB charger connected to the computer already
iPod off
Now you hold down the iPod home button, keep the iPod off though.
Now, while you are still holding the button, plug it into the computer.
Keep holding on to the button until a screen with a USB cable and an iTunes logo show up.
Now open your iTunes on the computer and do a restore.
Honestly, this is my last stand, I hope this helps!

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Thanks for the follow up.
Is your Premiere Elements 13 on Mac computer?
I have not seen much in the way of alternatives coming from Adobe on the Premiere Elements 13.1 failed updates.
But there seems to be several discussions on U44M11210 in the CC products...one
Update failure. (U44M1I210) | Adobe Community
You could try the uninstall, free ccleaner, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) and then try for the Help Menu/Update for 13.1..
If Mac, https://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner
If Windows, CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
The CC people seem to have the advantage of an online download of their update as well as the one via the Help Menu/Update.
Premiere Elements does not have that perk - update only via Help Menu/Update.
Please review and consider and please let us know of your progress as your schedule permits.
Thank you.

Photoshop elements quit working, I uninstalled it, tried to re-install using the cd, but getting error, any other way to re-install it without the disk ?

Yes.
Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
However, the real issue is why the program is not working. Did you install anything recently?
When you tried to re-install from the disk, did you shut off the antivirus program temporarily?
Have you tried a system restore to a point in time when the program was working properly?

I successfully upgraded to Yosemite and tried to launch iPhoto. It wants to upgrade my photo library but gets stuck half way through. I have quit and tried several times but same result. Can anyone help?

download iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use the free trial's rebuild command to create a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched for use as needed in the future
