Photoshop Elements 8 On Too Many Computers?

I have had program on my laptop for a long time. It is also on my desktop.
Although I use the laptop infrequently, when I opened program, Adobe warning appeared that I was installed on two other computers already and to deactivate. It is only on my desktop and on my laptop.
What do I do?

You need to contact Adobe directly. You may be able to get a chat session now.

Photoshop Elements 8: why too many activations? [was:activation]

Recently had new computer and the man that set it up for us loaded on our photoshop elements 8, the old computer was dumped, so is no longer in use. However when I try to use the programme it tells me that I have too many activations on it. I am not aware that this programme is in use on any other computer, please advise

The folks at that link will usually just tell you that PSE 8 is no longer supported. You need activation support, so go here:

Too many computers using the product?

I have Adobe Photoshop elements on two computers. I just had a msg come up that said I have the software installed on too many computers. It has only been on the two. No recent installations either. I need help here or I am going to loose it in 30 days. Why is adobe so hard to get a hold of?

I am guessing here that multiple computers refers to more than the number of computers that you have the license for. See this document for more info: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/100/1008779.html

Deauthorizing iTunes on a computer? My laptop won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I'm authorized on too many computers, but when I try to de-authorize another computer I use it won't let me. What's up?

Deauthorizing iTunes on a computer? My laptop won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I'm authorized on too many computers, but when I try to de-authorize another computer I use it won't let me. What's up?

What do you mean it won't let you? What exactly does it say? (Sorry to sound so exasperated but this is like the 6th post in a row where people have made vague statements which do little to help us find solutions without a game of 20 questions.) I'm going to guess and say you can only deauthorize a computer to which you have physical access or VPN login. The alternative is to deauthorize all which you can only do once a year.

HT1386 i have gone through several pc units over time and when i try to sync up my iphone and ipad to my new computer is says it can not sync because i have the devices registered on too many computers. How do i fix that?

I have had several computers in recent years and when i try to sync my iphone and ipad to my new computer, it says it cant because the devices are registered on too many computers. I only need them synced up to two computers - how do i fix this?

In iTunes, under the "Store" menu, you can select "Deauthorize this computer". That will remove that computer from your iTunes account and free up a spot for the new computer.
If you have already sold or wiped your previous computers, you can log into your iTunes account from the Store menu in iTunes by selecting "View My Account xxxx@xxxx". Once you are logged in, about 1/4 the way down the page it will tell you that you have "xx computers are authorized......". Beside that you have the option to deauthorize all of the connected devices. That is the only option, you will have to deauthorize all and then set up the ones you want to use.
I think 10 is the maximum number of devices that can sync to one iTunes account.

Photoshop Elements UI font too small on high-resolution display

Hi,
I have recently purchased a Dell XPS15 laptop with a QHD+ (3200x1800) display. The PC is running Windows 8.1. I have also purchased Photoshop Elements 12 to run on it.
With the display at the native resolution, it is necessary to have the "Change the size of all items" option in the display settings of Windows 8.1 set to "Larger", in order for the native Windows fonts and UI elements to be at a reasonable size. The laptop came with this option enabled by default.
However, disappointingly the UI font size in Photoshop Elements is way too small when the display is at the native resolution. The application is basically unusable.
I have tried setting the "Use system font" option in the General preferences, but this doesn't seem to help.
The only way I can get the Photoshop Elements UI font to a reasonable size, is by dropping the screen resolution (to say 1920x1080).
This seems like a terrible waste of a beautiful screen, particularly when my main reason for using the PC is for editing photos, and my photo management and editing software is preventing me exploiting the full resolution of the display.
I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks.

Unfortunately there is no option in PSE to vhange the UI fonts (other than switching to System Font' in preferences. So traditionally changing the Windows display font size has been the only workaround, and even that can cause problems with individual menus disappearing and being replaced with a hard to spot >> drop-down menu.
If you have a dual-display system you could have the menus on the lower resolution screen with images on the hi-res.
Cheers,
Neale

I use LR5 on my Mac Desktop (Yosemite 10.10.1) and it works fine. I have downloaded LR5 to my new MacBookAir (Yosemite 10.10.1) and it will not open. Message says program in running on too many computers. I once had it on another MacBookPro (Yosemite 10.10.1), but no longer use that computer and LR5 does not show up in the applications.

What is the exact complete word-for-word error message?
Is this the Creative cloud version of Lightroom or the standalone (also called "perpetual license") version of Lightroom?

Photoshop Elements 10 says I have already activated it on too many computers.

Photoshop elements 12 toolbar too small

I have recently loaded a fully paid for version of Photoshop Elements 12. When I open the program, the toolbar and all the fonts anywhere are tiny....like a 2 font. I spent 2 hours with Adobe support and he didn't know what to do....Must have been a new guy. From doing web searches on this problem, I know this is not a new problem. People were complaining about this as far back at 2010. I know this could not be a problem across the board or the company would not succeed. I am sure there is an answer. I just need someone smart to tell me what it is. I have a Windows 8 laptop. It is new and has lots of memory. When I try to change the computers resolution,everything (except Photoshop) becomes ridiculously large. Cant keep it like that. I dont know what to do!!!
Thanks

Have you used Help>Updates from within the pse 13 editor to get the 13.1 update?
After that in the pse 13 editor you can go to Edit>Preferences>Display & Cursors and set the UI Scale Factor to Large-200%.
Then restart the pse 13 editor for the setting to take effect.
Also, you might want to install the 13.1.1 update, which fixes some bugs in the pse 13 organizer:

Photoshop Elements 13 Icons too small

After recently installing Photoshop Elements 13 onto my new Dell laptop, all the icons are rather small, yet they show they are at the largest size. When taking a photography class and we uploaded a RAW photo, the instructions were too tiny to read and I had to use a magnifying glass to read them. Anyone have this problem before?

Photoshop Lightroom 3.2 (too) many folders

Hello,
For some time I have an issue on lightroom 3.
I have a network volume subfolder wich contains 60000 (75GB) photo's in 5000 folders.
If I import the "bunch" of pictures, it seems to work but I cannot see al te folders. The structure is : 1 folder containing almost all the subfolders one level lower, thus no many directory levels but many folders "aside" each other.
If i trie ro reimport one subfolder (from the ones I cannot see) lightroom marks me that the folders are already imported. I already tried to start with a fresh catalog, but this gives no relief.
Also my lightroom sometimes crashes, I always send an error report.
My system is Win XP SP3.
Please help me, I find if I buy such a high level program that it his to do the job ...
Olivier

Just few thoughts that came to my mind.
Lightroom had (still has?) a "feature" in windows version that it couldn't show keyword lists which had more than 1300+(?) keywords visible (rest were just truncated. Keywords worked normally but couldn't be seen in a keyword panel), because some insane (windows?) restriction that panels could be only certain amount of pixels long. Only solution was to build keyword hierarcy which didn't show too many keywords at once.
Could same "feature" affect folders view?
Are missing folders at the end of your folder list?

Too many computers registered?

I have no way of getting to the computers that are registered on my ipod, since i am in the military and those computers are partially in other countries. Am i just completely screwed in adding/removing songs on my ipod? Is there a way to re-set without losing everything thats on it already?

What do you mean by "registered"? Registration is between the computer and the iTunes Store account. For previously purchased songs that were +Protected AAC+ format, you can only play them on up to five computers at any given time. However, there is no registration between an iPod and computer.
The only restriction is with syncing. An iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you use the +Manually manage music+, you can use an iPod with as many computers as you want. However, to ensure you do not accidentally sync your iPod to an unknown library and erase what is current on the iPod, you should open iTunes preferences, go to the Devices tab, and check +Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods+
So is this question related to the iTunes Store account and the five computer limit? Or is it related to syncing between an iPod and computer.

Too many computers authorize; n songs I have bought won't download

I have replaced old computers & crashed computers and lost track of the numbers authorized. M children have purchased several songs that will not load because it say to many computers have been authorized. Please help. I have 2 MS operating sytems and one brand new mac pro laptop

You can do a once-a-year deauthorization (and re-authorization) of all the computers on your iTunes account.

Photoshop Elements 10 Installed in 2 computers

I accidentally installed this version of photoshop in 2 of my computers, so it doesn't work anymore (because of the Track Number). I unninstalled it in one of them, but it still doesn't work! What am I supposed to do?

Uninstalling is not the same as deactivating. You're allowed two activated installations, but it sounds like something has made PSE think it's installed on more than two computers. To fix this, go here:
