Photoshop Elements 9 'No Disk' issue

Every time I open Photoshop Elements 9 on my Windows 7 PC, I get a box saying:
“PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe - No Disk
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk3\DR3.
Cancel Try Again Continue".
If I hit Cancel, Try Again or Continue 3-5 times I can carry on but the same box keeps reappearing and requires another 3-5 hits on Cancel, Try Again or Continue to proceed further until it comes back again . This does not only happen when I open files from SD Card or USB stick. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop but the same issue always returns.
From what I can see on the net, this is a fairly common issue but I have not yet found a solution anywhere. It is a major bug which Adobe really should take responsibility for rather than relying on loyal customers to buy yet another updated version - something that I am determined NOT to do unless this current problem is solved.
Can anybody help please - Many thanks in advance (he says hopefully!)

Just for the record, I seem to have solved the problem but, perhaps, not in the way that I would have wanted. I always had the fallback of installing PSE10 as I got a free download of it from Leica when I bought a new camera a little while ago but, to be honest, I was trying to avoid a download of something like 1.5Gb as my connection is sometimes not too hot (although that should change next month when I go over to another ISP!). Anyway, I bit the bullet, downloaded and installed it and all seems to be fine at the moment.
Luckily, I had the free dowload option as I suspect I will not be buying from adobe again.

Using my current registered Adobe PhotoShop Elements 7 disk to install on new laptop, or install ele

How can I do this?

Don't have the new laptop to try and install it, and since it will come with no CD/DVD drive, I was told by store there might be a way to download it for free from Adobe site.

Just install it. Are you getting some kind of error message? Do you need help with transferring a catalog?

Photoshop Elements 6 Slideshow Issues

Photoshop Elements 6 Core Version: 6.0 (20070910.r.377499)
Issues:
Ordering Slide Shows
They will not order in File Name order -- Must I do it manually? -- which is silly for a computer
Slide Show Photo Background
File name picked up as title/description which is perfect --
But cannot get a bigger background then picture
This means the title covers picture and / or does not show up well.
Ideally I would like a larger canvas on the bottom of the picture so the text can show up against black or some other color without covering the photo.
This should be easy with canvas size but I cannot get it to work in a slide show.
Should also be able to change text color
Do not mind buying an upgrade but want to make sure these issues can be solved
See these issues in boards but cannot find solutions.
Thanks

the problem seems to be with the mp3,could please specify the size of the audio file which you were using and please try an audio file with a smaller size.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor Issue

Have downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor from the Mac App Store onto my Mac Book Pro, set iPhoto preferences to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor, but when trying to open a file from my iPhoto library, the following message appears: "unable to complete your request because of a program error". What can I do to resolve this issue?

Are you able to edit an image file that's not in the iPhoto library with PSE 10?
Also the followinjg has some tips on configuring PSE for use inside iPhoto that you may or may not know about:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9/10 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

Photoshop Elements 11 help issue

I've just installed PHotoshop Elements from Apple App Store.
Every time I start the program and click <Help - Photoshop Elements Help> I get this message:
"Mac OS X needs to repair your Library to run applications."
I type my password and click <Repair>, then the help web page opens in my browser.
But I have to repeat that every time I use help after starting the program.
I've run the repair function on Disk Utility, but it didn't solve the problem.
How can I fix that?

It's not easy to say why this is happening as the app store version is a stand alone package which is quite different to the regular retail version.
If I were you I would simply bookmark the help page in your web browser:

Photoshop Elements 10 installation issues

I had Elements 9 and just purchased elements 10. I tried to install it and have had not luck. I have called the help desk several times with no luck. I also have Lightroom and use to be able to right click on a picture and edit it in Photoshop elements 9, now it says it will be edited in elements 10, but it does not do anything. I can't figure out how to get it back the way it was. I have tried to uplaod the trial version, the software from the CD I bought, but nothing seems to work. anyone have any suggestions for this?

For such a complex issue it might be best to continue to work with our support team as they can work with you on an individual basis to resolve your difficulties. If you would like we do have a support document, "Troubleshoot installation problems | Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements | Windows" with steps you can certainly use.
Alternately you can also review your install log files to try to determine the exact error which is causing your difficulties. "Troubleshoot install using logs | Premiere Elements, Photoshop Elements," details how to review the logs which are created when your computer installs Photoshop Elements 10.

Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premier 10 Issues

I purchased Adobe Premier 10 and PhotoshopElements 10 in March of this year 2012. I have registered it with Adobe the day I purchased. I have upgraded my computer as my other has stopped working. I transfered what I could from the hard drive. I have also lost my disk for installation. Can I have one sent from Adobe or can I download it? Adobe upgraded from version 10 to version 11 within a few months of my purchase and feel their should be some way I can download it from adobe and just apply my stored and registered codes. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide! Have a good evening and thanks!

There are downloads at the following link but the servers are very slow. You also need to read the instructions carefully and be already logged in with your Adobe ID otherwise access will be denied.

Photoshop Elements 12 download issue

Files on the download site for Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 are not complete. The installation errors out. Should be 1.6GB but only 1.13 GB downloads. I have tried it several times

Thank you very much, Pat, for your great help. The link has inspired me to download the trial version from the Adobe website and go from there:
"Adobe Download Assistant" was automatically downloaded before the download of the trial version began. With the "Adobe Download Assistant" up and running, the download of the trial version took within 30 minutes. I then got to enter the serial code of my already purchased PSE 12 right after installation of the trial version and completed the whole set-up process (without even opening or using the trial version at all).
It is rather counter-intuitive that one should start with a trial download even when he has gone straight into buying the product. It was as if the trial version was a bridge to facilitate the official download because the trial version provided the "Adobe Download Assistant". Maybe, it is expected that people would always take a trial before buying? Or maybe, it is expected that most people would already have the "Adobe Download Assistant" handy?
Anyway, I am glad there is a solution. In this case, I think the key is to get the "Adobe Download Assistant" which comes with the trial version. Hope this post will help others who might face the same issue too.
Many thanks again.

How do i install photoshop elements without disk

Download the trial and enter your serial number into that.

Photoshop Album to Photoshop elements File size issue

I have used album v2 for a few years, and only import proxy files from off-line media (CD/DVD) to keep the backup file small which makes it easier to keep 2 computers on the same page..(15000 image files = 6GB) I make a backup to a portable drive monthly, and restore to 2nd pc.. etc
I have converted the catalogue into elements 9 succesfully, and it correctly points to the relevent discs if I need the full res files.
My question is.. Can I do this sort of import in Photoshop Elements 9? In album there was a check box for keeping the files off-line during import and to name the disc for reference , but I cant see this in elements... Perhaps I am missing something obvious..
Looking through the dialoge boxes, I wonder if you import the full res file, then move/copy to disc leaving behind the proxy...
I am on the trial, and dont want to buy if its not what I want..
Apologies if this topic is listed elsewhere.. I have looked, but cant find one..
Thanks for any pointers,

I'm not sure but it sounds a lot like the question I posed to the forum a little later today. It may be that the newer versions of PSE are not compatible with transfering all the Categories, Sub Categories and Tags from versions up to PSE 10. I am presently using PSE 10 because I couldn't figure out how to save all the organization I have put into Elements over the past 10 years or so.
I'm hoping for an answer to my question.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 activation issue on MAC running Parallels Desktop for Windows 7

I have a MacBook Pro laptop running both OSX and Windows 7 (using Parallels Desktop). I installed the MAC version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 when I booted in the MAC OSX mode. I also Installed Adobe Photoshop 10 in the Windows 7 mode (running as a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop). Both programs indicate that they are activated. If I boot the computer in the Windows 7 mode (not using Parallels Desktop) and start the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 program it indicates that it is NOT activated and that I "already have two copies activated".
Question: Since I only actually have two copies activated how do I get the program activated for the Windows 7 boot operating mode?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks

if you follow all 7 steps, you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-9-premiere-elements-9-direct-download-links.h tml
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, a failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem.
