Photoshop Elements doesn't work

Hi!
Can anyone help me? My Macintosh hard drive ( is that the correct name for "festplatte" in German?) broke down after just one and a half years. I had a new one put in and snow leopard was installed. Now I'm having problems with Adobe Photoshop Elements. I installed it and I can open it but I always get error messages when I try to use it. It's one of the programmes I need most for my job, so I'm quite annoyed not being able to use it. Has anyone got an idea of what to do? I would be very very grateful for help.

Okay, a couple of things to try. Uninstall PSE (trash its folder from Applications). Remove everything you can find in your username>library>preferences and in hard drive>Library>application support>Adobe (note that this is the library at the top level of your hard drive, not system>library).
Create a new admin user and install from there. Repair permissions after the install before using the program.
However, I have to say that some people have been having a lot of trouble getting PSE 4 to install/run reliably in SL. It's just too old.
Also, you did install Rosetta, didn't you?

Yosemite and Photoshop Elements doesn't work. Can anyone help

I have recently updates my mac software to Yosemite and Photoshop Elements doesn't work. Can anyone help

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

Adobe uninstaller for Photoshop elements doesn't work

Adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version

adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version.HELP
If I try to register 4 boxes circle endlessly.Why should I have to register editor separately from organizer?

This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful! My email: [email protected]
Good luck.
Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer? It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
<C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called: PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website. <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
Hope this helps.

Photoshop Elements 7 stopped working

My Photoshop Elements 7 stopped working. Error message; "A prpoblem caused theis program to stop working correctly. Windows will clsoe the program and notify you if a solution is available. How can I repair?

Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
Select your catalog and click Repair. Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
Then for good measure, click Optimize.
If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog. If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails. Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.
-Check if AutoAnalyzer.exe is running in your task manager. End the task and try.
try and let me know your comments.

Why is my adobe photoshop elements 12 not working. it says initializing and then it says there is an error and closes itself

why is my adobe photoshop elements 12 not working. it says initializing then error and shuts itself down.

Three things you can try:
1. Clean the superdrive with a proprietory CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.
2. Perform an SMC reset:

So, you're totally new to computers?
Go to the Help menu in Photoshop and select the System Info menu item. Copy all that information and paste all of it here MINUS your serial number.
Yes, Photoshop can delegate a lot of the computing tasks to the GPU on your graphics card. You may have to disable that feature in Photoshop Preferences > Performance.

Photoshope Elements 11 Stops Working

Photoshop Elements 11 stops working after it opens the organizer. This is after I imported pics / movies from my cell phone which caused it to crash. Any suggestions?

No. The program stops working a few seconds after the Organizer opens up.
The only reason I brought up importing photos is because this problem started after I tried to import photos directly from my cell phone. The first time I tried to import photos from my phone, I connected the phone via USB. Then I used the "Get Photos" feature in Organizer and selected the drive which showed up corresponding to the phone. Unfortunately, I think it downloaded items that were not photos or videos. It crashed during the attempt to import. When the organizer opens up I have a few seconds to see my photos and there are a few that look like bar codes and rainbow colors. I am concerned that the program downloaded files from the phone that are causing the problem.
I searched through my photo folders looking for bad files but could not find any. I uninstalled and reinstalled Elements an the problem persists.

my photoshop cc doesn't work. "_crtCreateSymbolicLinkW not found in DLL "C.\Windows\SYSTEM32\MSVCP110.dll"". Please help

I checked my windows 7 pro machine for the module I see many copies if the DLL with different dates two different sizes all are version 11.0.51106.1 so I guess there are 32bit and 64bit versions. Some are in Adobe folders some in Wacom folders ad in two windows folders including system32. I do not know if there is and entry point "_crtCreateSymbolicLinkW" in it.

Photoshop Element 7 not working with Babylon 8

I recently added Babylon 8 to my software. I use it a lot as well as Elements 7 in my work. Element 7 worked fine when I had Babylon 7 but when I upgraded to Babylon 8 Photoshop Element 7 stopped working. Any ideas as to why and how to fix?

You seem to have done most of the recommended troubleshooting procedures with FCP 7.
All I can suggest is that you create a new User Account in System Preferences and try to install it under that.
As you know, FCP 7 is now 4 years old (prehistoric in computer years) and was discontinued two years ago when Apple stopped supporting it, so there is little wonder that problems are arising with the latest OS, which can only get worse as the OS is updated.
The alternatives are to move to something like Premiere Pro, if you prefer a traditional interface/workflow or get Final Cut Pro X if you want to have cutting edge 21st. century technology supported by Apple.

Yes. You are allowed to install PSE on two computers at once, but if you don't need it on the first computer anymore, go to editor>help>sign out to deactivate it and free up one of your activations for future use.
As for moving your photos and catalogs to another computer, see:
Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
