Photoshop Elements Help | Install Photoshop Elements from a disk

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/install-pse.html

When I start Photoshop Elements 11, I get a dialog with Organizer on the left and Photo Editor on the right. What happens when you click Photo Editor? It might take a few moments, but it should open the editor.
Another idea: Right click (control-click on Mac) on an image file and say Open With > Photoshop Elements
Hope this helps,

Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro. Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep. How do I resolve ?

Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro. Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep. How do I resolve ?

Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh? If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized. Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool. Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

This sounds different than with my IOS devices, since I am able to see the photos even with a connection to the Internet.
Do you mean without a connection to the internet? With a connection it's logical you would be able to see the PS.
The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
Can photos be saved or downloaded from a shared photo stream?
Yes. Once photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared photo stream can download and keep the photos permanently.
On a device using iOS 6 or later, you can save photos to the Camera Roll. On a Mac, using iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4, you can save photos from the shared stream to your local Photo Library or any other location on your Mac. On a Windows PC, you can copy photos from a shared photo stream to any folder. On the web, photos can be downloaded directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo.
This tells me that the image files are not on the HD unless the subscriber chooses to download them.

Trying to reinstall old version of Photoshop Elements from a disk

Photoshop Elements disappeared from my computer and when I tried to reinstall from the disk, I am not having any luck getting it to work. I am using an older version of Elements made for Windows XP, ME, 2000, 98, NT 4.0 and OS 8.6 to 9.x. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

What operating system are you using?
Was it working before it "Disappeared"?
Sounds like photoshop elements 1 (one)?
What happens when you try to install it?
Your sure photoshop elements is really gone?
Have you looked in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe
or
C:\Program Files\Adobe
for a folder called Photoshop Elements

Need help installing Win8.1 from USB on MBP.

I have tried so many different things to get Windows 8.1 installing on my MacbookPro Late 2011 via USB.
I have modified the Bootcamp app as to allow me to create a usb installation from .iso.
Those instructions are here:
Enable Bootcamp to install from usb for OSX 10.9**WORKS**
However upon following through and rebooting after partitioning the MBP just goes to a black screen and I get "No bootable device found"
I have tried creating a usb drive by cleaning, formating, and setting active a usb drive in Windows via diskpart. I then copied all elements
from my Windows 8.1 Pro iso to it. However this only gives me EFI boot option on the boot select screen when holding option.
The clean,partition,active steps were found here:
Enable Bootcamp to install from usb for OSX 10.9**WORKS**
EFI boot has never worked for me. It always results in windows install saying that the installer can't install to non GPT disks.
Whenever I try to use EFI boot on the USB installer, the Windows 8.1 installer won't install to the parition that either I have made with the bootcamp utility or simple another fat32 parition I made myself without the bootcamp utility. (Hyrbrid MBR vs strict GPT?)
After all this, simply inserting a windows 8.1 DVD into the drive I get the magical WINDOWS boot option in the boot option menu and I can install fine.
Why can't I get USB install of windows working.
I also still don't understand why EFI install never works for me.
This is in regards to a late 2011 MBP with dvd drive. It is running Yosemite.

You can use nvram (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man8/nvram.8.html) but the issue is one of timing. If you are in BCA and BCA sets values and restarts, if you interrupt it using Alt key, switch to OSX (which will cause nvram to change as well), change nvram by guessing what BCA sets, and start again, what is not being set in nvram is lost.
In your specific case, is the Optical drive broken for you to try and attempt a pure USB-only installation?
If you make partitions using DU, and want BCA to use them, you must ensure an equivalent MBR set of entries.
BCA was designed to take care of all this anyway.
The easier method that I have suggested (via Feedback, to Apple Engineers) is to release firmware updates for all machine considered capable of running Yosemite/Mavericks and let them become UEFI compliant. If the CSM-BIOS layer already provides BIOS equivalents for EFI and Windows works using these with a Hybrid MBR, the EFI cousins should also work.
The other challenge is that W7 has EFI support, but full UEFI is available in W8+. There is no motivation on either side to retrofit older OS/HW to make it all work together for the convenience of the consumer.

Install OS 9 from Hard Disk?

Hello,
Can I install OS 9 from the hard drive. I have a USB Hard Drive Caddy, so I can put the files on and stuff.
It is an iMac G3 that needs an updated firmware, but it has a broken CD-Rom.
Once I am finished installing OS 9 and upgrading the firmware, I can install OS X with NetRestore Helper... Everytime I try to isntall OS X, it won't let me proceed until I upgrade the firmware.

You have to startup from the installation disk. You can't startup from a USB device on that iMac.
I have a USB Hard Drive Caddy, so I can put the files on and stuff.
I'm not sure what that is, but does it have a 3.5-inch IDE drive inside. If so, you may be able install Mac OS 9 on it using your Power Mac G3. Then, take the drive out of the enclosure and replace the drive inside the iMac with it. Try to start up from the iMac new drive. If it works, install the firmware update. Then swap the drives again to install Mac OS X.
Or you can buy a replacement CDROM drive on eBay, or here
http://www.wegenermedia.com/imaccd.htm
and fix your iMac.

How to install Solaris 8 from Hard disk?

Hi.
Im downloading Solaris 8 from a free FTP server. Some body can explain me what i need to install Solaris 8 from my hard disk?

Well first if you are downloading the cd images to a non Solaris machine, they are ISO images that cd burning software and a cd burner will use to burn a bootable cd. After you create the cd's boot cd 1 of 2 and the install will begin. I read somewhere that if you download the images to a solaris machine you can mount the image as a CD and share it and then install directly from the image over a network. I am not too clear on exactly how that is done since I downloaded to W2K.

Help Installing Lan Driver (From Download) for 865/G Neo

Hey guys, I downloaded the driver (WinXP: intel41XP.exe) for the 82562 LAN port. When I clicked on the .exe file, it was a self-extracting zip that had a bunch of setup files (like, text setup), an uninstall file, and some other stuff. None of that did anything, I unzipped ot C:/Windows/Drivers, didnt do anything. I went to hardware manager, clicked update driver on the Unknown Ethernet Controller, couldnt find the files on the disk (since i extracted to a cd as well as C drive), tried pointint to the Windows folder, didnt do much. Does ANYONE know how to install this...please!

What OS are you on?
Did you update to the latest service packs?
Did you install Gigabit LAN Controller or Intel 10/100Mbps Ethernet Controller?

The instructions said to try restarting the machine but that doesn't solve anything.
Also in the instructions there is a directive to follow a link for support but goes to Cloud support and doesn't appear to provide any links for helping with this problem.
Any suggestions on the source of the problem and how to overcome it.

Did you purchase Premiere Elements 10 Mac from Adobe or from the Mac Store?
Premiere Elements 10 is no longer the current version so I am not sure just how much support you will get from Adobe T/S.
If this were a typical "activation" issue, Adobe Chat would be the one to contact. But this is not a typical "activation" issue as I see it. It targets installation.
The Premiere Elements Forum here would seem a logical place to post your question, but the result will depend on someone seeking your post who has been there and done what you are trying to do specific to
PE (10)
Attempting to install PRE from a Remote drive on an older iMac to a new iMac.
Do you no longer have the installation disc used for Premiere Elements 10 installation on the older iMac? Even if the original installation came from an online purchase from Adobe, I would think that you should be able to get new installation files from Adobe??? All that rather than focus on Premiere Elements 10 transfer from old iMac to new iMac via this "remote drive".

Clean install of ML from bootable disk, Snow Leopard original OS...

Hi all,
I visited my apple store on Sunday who suggested I should reinstall my operating system from scratch.
My MBP is 2009 and I believe came with Snow Leopard installed on it. I have the original disks that came with it to do a fresh install of Snow Leopard, however I am currently running ML.
Do I need to install Snow Leopard, then Lion then upgrade to ML again or can I just boot and do a clean install straight from the USB?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Sarah

Do I need to install Snow Leopard, then Lion then upgrade to ML again?
No, it's on a bootable partition now called Recovery HD, hold command r and boot the machine, use Disk Utility to erase the Macintosh HD partition (all files, programs and OS X will be gone) reinstall OS X, you will need a fast internet connection and your AppleID and password.
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
If you don't have a backup, need to perform data recovery BEFORE erasing or reformating the Macintosh HD partiton, then do this, just because OS X isn't booting means you can't access the drive and grab files off.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
You might be able to fix your problem in place, without a messy erase and install, that's a last option in my book
Run through this and see if it clears your issue, or least gets OSX to boot so you can copy files and important information off first.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
If you have a boot hard drive, when you erase the Macintosh HD partition, use the Security > Erase middle selection as this will improve the drive's data retention. SSD's no need and it's not available.

Installing Windows 7 from a disk image

In the Boot Camp instructions it states that Windows must be installed from a full, single-disc version of Windows 7 and that it must be from a properly licensed installation disc. (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1461)
The IT department where I work are able to provide me with a disk image for Windows 7, that I can then copy to DVD, to use for the installation.
My question is, that given this isn't an official disk - will it work? Has anyone got any experience of installing Windows 7 on a Mac in this way? Any advice or tips appreciated!
I'm yet to buy the Mac - it would be my preferred machine to get, but the ability to run Windows on it is a deal-breaker. If I can't install Windows in this way then I will have to find an equivilantly spec'd Windows laptop instead.
Cheers,
Andy

That is one of the long-lasting mysteries with Macs and BootCamp and Windows .iso files.
Up to now no one has come up with an explanation for this but in the past the 2x burning has helped getting such a DVD to work where a DVD burned at higher or full speed failed.
Lots of thread in here to find with this behaviour and "solution".

Problems installing operating system from restore disks

Greetings all,
I recently had to change out the motherboard on my TECRA A11-S3540 due to a spill on the keyboard. The laptop worked OK afterwards for a week or so. It started hanging on bootup and continually got worse until it would only boot up in safe mode and then hang up at mup.sys.
I assumed the replacement motherboard was bad so bought and installed yet another one. Afterwards, I had the same problems as with the 1st replacement motherboard. I then turned my attention to the hard drive.
I removed the hard drive from the Tecra and then attached it via a SATA-USB converter to another PC so that I could run chkdisk on it. There were not errors reported. I then reformatted and repartitioned the drive and reinstalled it.
Now when I try to install the operating system (windows 7) with my restore disks, it seems to load information into the RAM, but hangs forever with the windows logo on the screen and the text "starting windows".
The motherboard has the latest bios, and indentifies the hard drive correctly. I am at a total loss and really need help on this...

Tecra A11-S3540
when I try .. with my restore disks, it .. hangs forever
We've seen occasional problems restoring to a drive with advanced-format technology.
Check into that.

Help with rescuing data from faulty disk

Sorry the long wall of text, I wanted to explained everything as detailed as possible to not mess with the chronological order (TL; DR down below!)
Ok, here's the thing. I have two hard drives, a ssd [sda] (for the OS [arch linux, ubuntu and win7], munchkin 240gb) and a sata 3 one ([sdc] wd, 1 tb) that I use for everything else. A couple of weeks ago I found there were progressive, unexpected and random behaviour particularly with windows, random freezes, no bsod, ecc... I finally found that the second hard drive was the culprit so I decided stop using a buy a new disk (while sending the faulty to RMA, since it's barely one year old, and I don't do nothing out of ordinary), I got a seagate with 1 tb.
I honestly didn't want to mess too much about the data and wanted to save the most without wasting time, so I decided to try to clone the whole disk with dd according to the wiki (Disk Cloning). I imagined that the "bad sectors" were from the ntfs partition, so I went with that. Clearly I could get corrupt files in linux too, but my guess was that the most important data was safe, because I had been using it for the last couple of days without problems. The process ended with a lot of I/O errors, but in the end it showed the same number of `in` and `out`. I regenerated the UUID for the new cloned disk and each partition, modified the fstab and restarted (fingers crossed).
I could log into arch linux without problems, used it for a while, restarted a second time (that windows habit that I still found hard to overcome) and everything was okay (yes I made sure I was actually on the new disk). Next was windows time, which to my surprise worked fine too, I even played a while. After patting myself in the back, I rebooted the machine thinking in how much work I would like to have done today, and there were an error that apparead on the login screen, just a ms before I pressed enter, I think I read it was referring to another partition of sda. The system got stuck in the middle of the "log in screen" and loading x with a black screen, nothing else. Waited a while, losing hope I pushed the RESET button.
Now, it was stuck during the boot up process, after "killing rf radio" or something. It was obviously stuck somewhere else... (that message had appeared there since I built the pc) it read though that the /var partition was clean, same with the root partition, next I tried with "recovery" kernels, and each other kernel I had still in grub; but the problem persisted. Tried with ubuntu, had to change fstab again, rebooted, tried to enter, stuck on the loading screen with the big purple background. I couldn't get anything else past that, neither to get a decent log.
I don't know why (or maybe because I was desperate) I entered the uefi/bios settings and found that the time was localtime instead utc.... weird I thought and I blamed windows (though, I had the registry hack working for a while) and imagined that I updated something that removed that *fixed* the blessed fix. Since I remember having issues with partitions not being correctly mounted once because of time issues, I thought it was a problem with the time... nope, nothing changed.
I tried again with the recovery kernel of the ubuntu install, I could drop on the root shell, and tried to fix the clock time after remounting, same with mounting the /var partition (ubuntu doesn't use that one), it threw that "bad superblock error", but fsck ran saying the filesystem was clean and it was mount normally later. Somewhere between, I mounted the home partition, no errors, gave a quick navigation. I tried to install ntpd to follow the "troubleshoot" from the Time arch wiki page, but HA, no internet.
Rebooted again, and from the menu from "ubuntu recovery", allowed me to enable networking. Quite nice I thought, and pressed enter. It politely informed that I needed to mount the system (root partition) in read/write instead read-only. I happily said yes (I already had remounted the ubuntu root as rw, and worked ok), but stopped at the home partition taking about 10 minutes in "phase 2", suddenly started throwing a lot of errors, about missing inodes, files pointing nowhere, etc. It put a lot of files into lost+found directory. Oh, there it was... I thought, let's go into Arch Linux then...
Now the system booted up quite fast, and I was welcomed by the black screen asking coldly for my login information, I wrote the credentials, pressed enter, aaaaand PAH, "/home/pablo" change directory failed: No such file or directory. HA, funny I thought, lsblk, the partition was mounted, ls -l /home/... WHAT? the folder wasn't there.
I looked for the lost+found folder inside the home directory, and it had a lot of directories and files called DXXXXXX.RCN, and IXXXXXX.RCN and some symbolic links. The directories had files inside, the IXXXXX are actually files, ecc.
Right now, I'm lost... I'm not scared about the data, because it's still living happily (?) on the bad disk, but I still need to recover it, so I can filter it later allowing to write zeros to the fault disk and send it for a replacement. Is there any chance to recover the data? (I rather not going into around 100 files/directories with cryptics names), or maybe use another method to "recover" the data from the previous disk? using cp or rsync? Any good experience or advice on this?
PS.- Sorry for the epic story, I hope I don't scare readers or other fellow members.
TL; DR
+ I have 2 disks (ssd [OS {win7, arch and ubuntu}] and sata3 [data])
+ Sata3 disk started to fail on windows (users folder it's on the sata3), arch/ubuntu never had a problem
+ I bought a new one, and I'm trying to send the old one for a RMA
+ Clone the disk according to the wiki and rebuilt the UUID
+ Change fstab to use the new cloned disk
+ Worked fine for a couple of times
+ Used windows, played, everything fine
+ Entered arch, now I couldn't it got stuck without showing any errors
+ Tried every kernel and recovery image without success
+ With Ubuntu I could drop into a root shell
+ Mounted home partition, no problems
+ Tried to activate networking, started to run fsck and threw a lot of errors (I remember I read something about "offset" not correcting) and moved files to lost+found directory
+ Arch Linux started, but I couldn't log because /home/pablo doesn't exist anymore and it seems everything lives now in the lost+found directory with weird names like DXXXXXX and IXXXXXXX
Aftermath: I have the original data, safe (?) on the bad disk (like I said, I never had any problem in my home partition). I really don't want to be nit picky about what I can save, I'll be happy to save as much as I can, but I don't mind losing corrupt files (that's why I thought cloning with filling with zeros would be enough). I just want to ditch the bad disk and send it to wd for a replacement.
End of TL; DR
2014/07/29: Added a TL; DR section
Last edited by pablox (2014-07-29 13:55:46)

I can see three possibilities:
1. The new HDD is broken as well.
2. The Linux partition contained a little garbage from old HDD's errors and that confused Linux and caused it to corrupt the partition further by writing more garbage to it.
3. The garbage from old HDD's errors contained on the Windows partition confused Windows and caused it to corrupt the Linux partition by overwriting it with garbage.
1. Rather unlikely if the HDD is new, but still worth checking. Install smartmontools and run smartctl -a /dev/new-hdd. On the "SMART attributes" list, check if any of "Reallocated_Sector_Ct", "Reallocated_Event_Count", "Current_Pending_Sector", "Offline_Uncorrectable" have RAW_VALUE other than zero or if the "SMART Error Log" contains any entries. If the attributes are all zero and the error log is empty, everything is fine.
2. Make new image of the old HDD. Make sure that Windows and Linux partitions don't overlap each other due to HDD read error. Run fsck on the Linux partition before mounting it to ensure that it doesn't contain errors which could lead to further errors. If it doesn't, it should be safe to mount and use it.
3. You said that Windows partition certainly contains error. Don't run Windows and don't mount this partition in Linux without running some NTFS checker (Windows tools on some other Windows system or ntfsck on Linux) and fixing all errors contained there. Alternatively, you can reinstall Windows on the new HDD and manually copy all the files you care about that are still readable from the old HDD. BTW, don't modify anything on the old HDD, as this would likely corrupt its other contents in the same way that modifying its copy corrupted other parts of its copy.
