Photoshop Elements 6 lags for 10 minutes when starting in Mac OS

Recently our photoshop elements 7 starting lagging at start-up, for a very long time.  We are running Mac OS 10.5.7.   Nothing we do gets it to wake up, it says "scanning for presets"

Are you talking about PSE 6 on OS X or PSE 7 in some kind of virtualization?
If you meant PSE 6, then go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
Adobe PSE 6.0 paths
Adobe PSE 6.0 settings
opera preferences
Repair permissions and try again.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 automatically accesses the internet when started

    How do I stop Photoshop Elements 9 from automatically accessing my internet connection when I load it?  Thanks.

    If you have the internet on then elements always connects for activation purposes.
    Are you getting some kind of dialog?
    Also you can make a shortcut to the pse9 editor or the pse9 organizer
    to bypass the welcome screen.

    After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

    reinstall by clicking setup on your disk or downloading and installing,

  • What can I do when  in Photoshop Elements (version 11) the organizer does not start up??

    !@@

    Yes, thanks a lot. I understand now.
    I now am able to open the old catalog again!! I tried now several times with the new shortcut.
    Thank you very much indeed for ALL YOUR EFFORT and patients with me.
    You suggest now I should click on the repair button. When I do so, the catalog will be overwritten, or I can choose not to overwrite and than the catalog will be twice as big. So I decided not to click on the repair button. When I see afterwards that some functions do not work anymore, I allways can use the repair button. As far as I can see now nothing is lost.. )
    As far as I understood it is only possible to repair with a backup. Happily I made that allways, but I am afraid to use it, for the reason above.
    When I have more time to spare, I will look for all the foto's from the apps of my cellphone and delete them.
    Now I can finish my fotowork, what I had started before, and make Photoshop Elements again the main fotoprogram on my desktop.
    Thank you again! Trees

  • Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.

    Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.  Is there a fix? Also, when I tried to update, it comes up with this error.

    I have a similar problem. I found out that my macbook air created a new USER with my former's computer user name. You can check that by going into System Preferences -> User & Groups, and see if a "Other user" has been created. You have to login under this new USER to find your transferred contacts in the address book.
    My problem is that I do not know how to merge the 2 USER logins or transfer the data from the new USER created into the existing one.

  • My Photoshop Elements 6.0 for windows just quite working 4 days ago.

    I have tried unistalling it and now i am trying to reinstalling it but it is saying needs disc one but i only have one disc? I called the support for adobe and she said they aren't allowed to help me cause 6.0 is out of date. Can anyone help me. I am running vista and can't get it installed now.

    John R Ellis posted this suggestion in 2008 and per above post the fix the licensing step worked for my problem...hope this helps someone else...THANKS AGAIN !! Just posted a thank you so that thread is now recent for reference to anyone interested...goes by "Is PSE6 compatable with Win 7 64 bit" title
    When you try that, make sure you right-click the program icon or Start menu item and select Run As Administrator.  Running a program in an account that is a member of Administrators is not the same thing (as it was on XP).
    If that doesn't work, you could be encountering one of the many reasons why PSE might crash or freeze, most of which are independent of the version of Windows. Unfortunately, these can be hard to diagnose quickly, and the best approach is to work methodically through all the known troubleshooting steps:

    I suggest starting with the "Fix the licensing" step, whose symptoms can be similar to what you're seeing.

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I bought a new laptop (Macbook) but the current installation files I have of Photoshop Elements 12 is for Windows, how can I change this? Or do I have to purchase an all new photoshopset?

    Can anyone help me with this question?
    I bought a new laptop (Macbook) but the current installation files I have of Photoshop Elements 12 is for Windows, how can I change this? Or do I have to purchase an all new photoshopset? I hope not because that would be really expensive.

    Really? That's extremely unusual. Have you looked at all the discs? In any case you can download the mac version here:

    I use and love iPhoto but require greater editing capability. I downloaded and installed the Photoshop Elements 3.0 30-day trial (my trial just ran out). I was waiting for Elements 4.0 to come out for Mac, and noticed it is now out and available from Amazon.com for $10 off ($79.99) and free shipping.

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Barbara. This fixed the problem I was having with getting the 'How To's' to work.

    I did try to uninstall and reinstall.  It messed up my computer.  I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup.  This was not helpful at all.  I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all.  Geeze.......

  • I have old video clips in Photoshop Elements Organizer v12 for Mac.  I want to divide some of those clips in Organizer.  I can do that in Premiere Elements 12 and save them as "Projects" - but how do I get the divided clips back into Organizer?

    I have old video clips in Photoshop Elements Organizer v12 for Mac.  I want to divide some of those single clips into 2 or 3 separate clips, each shown separately in Organizer.  I can divide the clips in Premiere Elements Editor 12 and save them as "Projects" - but I can't find any way to get those divided clips back into Organizer.  Does anyone know whether that can be done?  Many thanks for your thoughts.

    What about Google Drive? And just share the folder with the family members.

  • 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

  • Lightroom 4 doesn't detect Photoshop Elements 9/10 for external editing

    Hi,
    I own Photoshop Elements 9 and recently decided to install trials of Lightroom 4 and Photoshop Elements 10.  For whatever reason, Lightroom doesn't detect Photoshop Elements 9 or 10 for external editing.  I need to make sure this functionality works before proceeding with purchasing Lightroom and possibly Photoshop Elements 10.  Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks,

    List of supported Nikon cameras. I think you're out of luck for tether-shooting.
      Nikon   
    D3
    D3s
    D3x
    D90
    D300
    D300s
    D700
    D5000
    D7000
      Notes on Nikon cameras   
    If you trigger the shutter with the tether bar capture button, the image must finish downloading before another photo can be captured. Triggering a capture with the shutter release button on the camera does not have this limitation.
    Images do not save to the compact flash card. They are only downloaded to the computer.
    Only one Nikon camera can be attached at a time.
    Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6 are not officially supported for the D3x, D90, and D5000, but they can still work.
