Photoshope Elements 2 gets stuck in a download

Running iMac G5, 20', 1GB RAM. I've been using Photoshop Elements @ as my editing application. Suddenly when I try to open the application an updating box drops down listed as : UPDATING ADOBE ONLINE COMPONENT Downloading file 1 of 2. FILE: AWEXfile.txt, to : MacIntosh HD: Library: AP...ion Support: Adobe: Web. The download never seems to load regardless of how long I let it run, and hitting cancel has no effect what so ever. The only way out is to force quit. I've tried removing Photoshop Elements and re-installing it, but the exact same thing happens. At this point I;ve run out of ideas. Any suggestions?

I think this may actually be a server end problem at Adobe. I've seen it a couple of times, most recently a few hours ago - probably at about the same time you were, Robert!
Have you seen what happens if you simply disconnect from the net while trying to open the app?
One suggestion, on the adobe fourms is to simply
Take your computer offline, then open Elements. As soon as it's open, go to Preferences>Adobe Online and set the frequency at which it checks for updates to Never. Now you can put the computer back online, and you shouldn't have any more problems. There never were any updates to PSE 2.0 anyway. Adobe seems to have fixed this annoying problem in subsequent versions
I'll do this on my daughter's misbehaving machine and see if it fixes the probelm.
Cheers
Rod

  • Adobe Downloading Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 MultipleLanguages Windows  The Akamai Download Manager has encountered an fatal error: File not found.

    I am trying to download the trial of PSE 13 which consists of two files. The first downloads ok but on the second I get this message:

    The Akamai Download Manager has encountered an fatal error: File not found.
    Same thing happens if I try to download the files individually and also in different browsers. Any ideas?

    Me three.   I have been trying for hours, and have used three different browsers. 
    I have just noticed that the URL it is trying to use is looking for ...win32.exe under a directory called win64. That sounds like a stupid typo mistake.  I manually modified the URL to this instead (and it downloaded something)...
    http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PSE/13/win32/PhotoshopElements_13_LS25_win32.exe
    Now I just need to figure out how to install the product manually using the two downloaded files!?!

  • Photoshop elements 13 and premiere 13 purchased, downloaded and installed... but wont OPEN/LAUNCH.. HELLP!!?

    photoshop elements 13 and premiere 13 purchased, downloaded and installed... but wont OPEN/LAUNCH.. HELLP!!?

    Hello
    My "os" is windows 8.1
    When I clicked on the PHOTOSHOP 13 executable the photo editor popped up
    along with an install option.  Then I clicked install and then a update
    failed message popped up. (I've attached a screen shot photo of that) Then
    I clicked on error log and a "please quit and try again error code" message
    popped up. (I've also attached a screen shot photo of that as well) so
    after all that I closed everything and restarted my computer and clicked on
    the PHOTOSHOP 13 executable again and it went straight to the photo editor
    not the welcome screen (where I can choose either organizer or photo
    editor)... why isn't there a welcome screen like before?
    When I clicked on the executable for PREMIERE 13 there was two executable
    options.. one that was labeled (PREMIERE 13 exe) and another that was
    labeled just (PREMIERE exe) without the "13" so first I clicked on PREMIERE
    13 exe and it took me to the welcome screen so then I clicked on video
    editor the new project but nothing happened. ... the loading bar moves then
    stops.  So after that I closed it and went back to click the PREMIERE exe
    and it took me straight to the video editor, again no welcome screen (were
    i can choose either organizer or video editor) just like the  photoshop....
    so in the end I am able to click on the executable options for both
    photoshop 13 and premiere and it takes me straight to the editor but
    without the welcome screen...
    Clicking on the shortcut icons on my desk top still won't launch though....
    So does this mean it's working because clicking on the executable options
    takes me straight to the editor? Or is something still not right because
    the program won't open/launch when i click on the desktop shortcuts and
    welcome screen won't pop up when clicking on executable options?
    Thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it

    I have recently purchased a new computer and photoshop element. It looks like its downloaded it but I don't know how to access it. it says file are ready...down load files have been extracted and saved to folder....launch PS elements and open specific folder. it looks like it downloads. It then keeps taking me back to this page. Im not sure where to go next

    if you have a win os you should have dl'd an exe and a 7z file.
    put both in the same directory and double click the exe.

    If you have a 64 bit machine then there shouldn't be any problem while installing any 32-bit software.
    Try to download it with the below mentioned link :

  • Photoshop Elements Help | Getting started tutorials

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

    Do you mean photo mkail or attachments? I’ve found it usually works best with web mail via Adobe after obtaining verification. I know some email services block bulk email completely and I’ve only tested it with Gmail which works fine. Should also work with other web mail e.g. Yahoo and Hotmail. Before you start it will help to check your internet security settings. If they are set to High, reduce the settings to Medium temporarily. Then follow these instructions.
    1. Log in to your mail provider on the web and add the following email to your address/contacts book.
    [email protected]
    2. Open Organizer and on the menu click:
    Edit >> Preferences >> Sharing
    3. Choose Adobe Email Service from the client dropdown menu.
    4. Add your name and email address to the fields provided and click OK
    5. Test the system (first use only)  by selecting a photo in organizer and choosing Share >> Photo Mail then click Next (Mac users should use attachments)
    6. Choose a contact then click  Next
    7. Click Next Step, then click Next - the sender verification dialog will open.
    8. Check you have spelt your email address correctly and hit the Resend E-Mail button.
    9. Go to your inbox (also check spam) and when the Adobe mailer message is received copy (Ctrl+C) the long verification code.
    10. Return to the verification dialog and paste it (Ctrl+V) into the Sender verification field and click OK. Wait for validation confirmation then click OK to continue

  • Why does Photoshop elements 9 not start once I downloaded Wacom drivers?

    I use Photoshop Elements 9, it is fully updated.
    I recently switched from a bamboo tablet to an intuos. Previously, my bamboo worked perfectly. Elements could detect pen pressure and worked fine. Now, elements (the editor, not the organizer) has stopped booting.
    However, I recently got an intuos and once I downloaded the drivers, Photoshop would stop booting. For example:
    I try to open up a photoshop file, photoshop would stop responding.
    I open up the welcome screen and click on edit, the edit button shows that loading sign for awhile before returning back to the normal edit button. After that, nothing happens and the editor doesn't open.
    I try to open the editor directly, it stops responding.
    There were however less than ideal ways I could force elements to boot. I could open up Wacom Tablet Properties, and delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements preference over there. When I do that, photoshop boots instantly even if it was in the middle of not responding. Even when I try to boot with the welcome screen and the edit button just fades, as soon as I delete the preference, elements boots. Even if I was waiting for fifteen or twenty minutes before deleting the preference, elements would boot. Another way I can get photoshop to open is using the wacom tablet preference file utility to delete the preference.
    However, when this happens, pen pressure doesn't work and the cursor is really laggy. The disc keeps appearing over the cursor.
    Other stuff I've tried:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. I've tried using the disc the tablet came with. I've also tried the installing the driver from the website.
    I'm not sure about resetting the photoshop elements preferences. I've tried clicking ctrl+shift+alt and clicking to open photoshop but it just opens up the properties window. (But isn't what I did with wacom tablet preference utilities achieving the same thing?)
    I greatly appreciate any advice you could give me! Like if this is even the proper place to ask?

    Specifically, this:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5860819
    But it is also very important to delete any existing preferences after a major OS X upgrade. For PSE 6 that would be:
    com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 settings
    They're in your username>library>preferences. Here's how to find it in 10.9:

  • Problems installing Photoshop CS4, keeps getting stuck on "installing Adobe Air." Tips?

    I'm trying to install Photoshop CS4, but it keeps getting stuck on "installing Adobe Air" every time. Freezes, makes no more progress, eventually I have to force quit. I've even downloaded and installed it (Air) separately, but it keeps getting stuck on it in the CS4 install. Any tips? I'm running 10.8.5 on a MacBook Air. Saw something about deleting Adobe FlashPlayer to maybe fix it? Any and all tips welcome. Thx.

    Googling only comes up with a couple things where someone was trying to
    install a cracked version they downloaded, so it could be a corruption
    problem.
    If this is a downloaded installer, then redownload it and try installing,
    again.
    If you are inserting a DVD and autoplay is starting up and you get this
    message, you can shut down the installer process as you've done then instead
    of double-clicking the DVD, use right-click Explore to view the files
    directly on the DVD without running AutoPlay, then find the setup.exe or
    something.MSI with EN in it's name to run the installer, directly, without
    goint through autoplay.  This would only make a difference if the autoplay
    is corrupted somehow but everything else is ok.  Since your error message
    talks about autoplay then maybe that is the case.
    If you are calling Adobe for support, it can take hours, depending on when
    you call.
    This "open letter to Adobe customers" was posted within the last few days
    and basically apologizes for poor support, recently, while they change from
    support-provider to another:

  • Using Aobe Photoshop Elements 6:  1.  How to download photos in the same order as on the smart card from which I downloaded them?  2.  Changing the date on each photo

    1.  How can I get the 2000 photos I downloaded in the same order as on the smart card from which I downloaded them?  (This will help me label them correctly)
    2.  How can I change the date on each photo? (I want to sort by date the picture was taken, not the date it was downloaded.

    You indicated that the images "seemed" to be in the right order.  It might be a good idea to rename the images on export using a custom name/sequence.  If you have done that and the images are still not in order, it's possible that your operating system browsing window is using a different sort order.  I sometimes change windows explorer to sort by file type, and then files are sometimes in what seems be a strange order.

  • Hi, I recently left my computer on my car and drove into heavy traffic.  After several hundred cars ran it over, I noted than I was unable to access my previously purchased copy of Photoshop Elements 10.  How can I download a replacement copy?

    It's true.  I was loaded down like a mule, approaching my car, needing a free hand, and thinking "I'll just set this on the roof for a moment..."
    I drove about 1/2 mile and turned left into rush-hour traffic.  No sound, no horns, no frantic hand gestures from fellow drivers, and no sinking feeling whatsoever for several minutes.  And then like that sudden stop at the end of long fall, it hit me.  I quickly turned around as though haste may matter - and it did.  Had five more minutes passed, there'd have been nothing larger than a grain-of-sand-sized evidence that my computer had once existed.  For the next 30 minutes, I dodged many hundreds of cars in my firm commitment to gather every last one of the 2,653 pieces that I would need for a successful reassembling.
    At some point during my repair attempt, I noted that I was unable to access my previously purchased copies of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10.
    And since Dell.com's record of this purchase was apparently destroyed that day as well, I'm at a loss.  Unless... "Ok, maybe I actually registered this purchase at Adobe.com...  But that would be weird as I never do such things in the name of maintaining privacy at every chance I encounter... But, I'll try... yep, 'Forgot your password,' Click... of, 'Follow this link,' Click... Minor rush that it might work... Hope fading fast... Gone!"
    When the only proof of purchase I can present is my promise that I did once purchase, is it possible for me to download these two programs without having to re-purchase?
    I lost a lot of things that day... money, work, memories, la la la.  Apparently I've now lost my dignity as well as I plead with some faceless corporation for a freebie.
    Does anyone at Adobe have a heart?  If so, I would invest my gratitude towards your benefit for the remainder of my years.
