Problem Installing PSE 6 on a Mac

I can't install PSE 6 on my Intel iMac running Leopard. When I insert the DVD I get a window listing a number of folders. The Getting Started booklet in the package said there would be on screen instructions. There are none that I can see. I can't see any installer (or uninstaller) either.
I attempted to insert a screenshot of the DVD contents, but could not get that function to work So I have added it as an attachment.

Barbara,
Thanks for that information. It worked the second time. Firstly I got a message about PE being blocked. After your advice I tried again and it worked. I must say I was led astray by the Getting Started booklet which told me I would see on screen instructions. Also the "Read Me" mentioned that the application could only be removed by using the included uninstaller. I saw no sight of that option.
Thanks to your help I am now under way and look forward to enjoying the application.
Robin.

Has anyone had a problem installing PSE Elements 8.

I have installed PSE Elements 8 from a new boxed CD onto a new Dell running Windows 7 Professional (64 Bit).
PSE has loaded without any warnings and I get to the welcome screen OK. Organiser works fine but if I try and start Edit it just circles around back to the Edit prompt. I have tried getting in via Fix in Organiser which then advises Loading Elements workspace but then drops me back to menu.
I have tried all the Tech Note suggestions but after hours of trying am still no further forward.
I even downloaded and installed the trial version but I this performs in the same way.
All suggestions welcome. Thanks

No luck.
PE Editor does not open with Ctrl/Alt/Shift nothing...zilch
Running PE Editor from this point using Open produces error message. PE Elements has stopped working - Close Program.
Thanks anyway.
Problem has now been escalated to senior tech team within Adobe.

The only other suggestion is try re-setting the Editor preferences as this often fixes conflicts. You will also be able to check that this part of the application installed correctly.
Hold down the windows key to the left of Alt and press the letter E to launch Explorer
In the left side pane click on Computer
In the right pane double click on Program Files, then double click Adobe, then double click Photoshop Elements 8.0
Use the right hand scroll bar to move down the list of files and locate Photoshop Elements Editor With one hand holding down all three keys CtrlShiftAlt right click on the Editor file in the list and select open.
You should see a pop up box with the words Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Close down Elements and re-open it in the normal way.
Please let us know if that works.

Problems installing pse 8 on macbook pro

I'm trying to install pse8 on my new Mac Book Pro and keep getting an error message saying that Firefox is running and I cannot install until that program is closed. Only problem is firefox is not running. Has anyone come across this problem before? I was able to successfully download other software onto my computer immediately following my pse 8 attempt.
Help please??

Barbara,
No Firefox process is running. I created a new admin account and tried it again but the same message came up. Shouldn't the installation process automatically start when inserting the disk? It doesn't so I have to double click on the icon in the top right corner then I double click on pse8 and then set up. It starts the intiallizing but ends with the same message everytime that the firefox application must be closed in order to continue. Is there a better way? Everything is closed as far as I can tell. Nothing has begun to download.

Problem installing PSE 8 on Mountain Lion

Hi, I'm having trouble installing PSE 8 on Mountain Lion. It worked just fine on Lion, then I upgraded to ML, and it wouldn't open. I deleted and tried to reinstall PSE 8, and have not gotten beyond the "Progress" pane with a message that "a required component has failed to install correctly", with the error:
"Adobe Anchor Service
Error:
Error 2."
I have tried a bunch of different things; running the CS cleaner tool, disabling my virus software, repairing disk permissions, restarting my computer, and deleting all Adobe files from these locations:
/Users/<<username>>/Library/Application Support >> The Adobe folder
/Users/<<username>>/Library/Preferences >> Anything with com.adobe
/Library/Application Support >> folder named Adobe
/Library/Preferences >> Anything with com.adobe
/Applications >> Application files
/Applications/Utilities >> The Adobe Updater
I've even created another admin account on my computer and tried to install PSE 8 there, but I still get the same error.
Any help to get this sucker installed is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I looked a little more into fixing the issue, and it turns out that I missed the top level Library > Application Support > Adobe folder. Once that was deleted, my problem was solved.
I did find this article helpful, for anyone else who is having similar issues: http://www.cultofmac.com/90060/how-to-completely-uninstall-software-under-mac-os-x-macrx/

Problem installing extension in DW MX2004 mac edition

Hi all,
I run DW MX2004 under OS X 10.4.10 on a Mac. I'm having
trouble installing the Rubyweaver 2.0 extension (available from
http://rubyweaver.gilluminate.com/)
which should add ruby and rails functionality to DW. According to
Extension Manager it is installed fine but when I try to use DW I
get the following problems:
1. On startup DW throws up a warning message:
quote:
The Document Type "" will not be added because it uses a file
extension that is already associated with a prior document type.
This message appears three times, I assume for
three different document types.
2. Rails, YML and SQL options are not present in the New
Document window options (they should be).
3. Preferences > Code Format > Tag Library Editor
displays an option called 'Rails' - even when the checkbox is
ticked, HTML colouring is not present in .rhtml files.
I contacted the developer about these issues, he assured me
that the extension was developed for and tested on both Windows and
OS X platforms, and that nobody else had reported any problems. He
suggested it must be a problem specific to my system.
So, here's my question: has any one else experienced problems
installing either this or another extension in DW MX2004 on a Mac
and does anyone have a solution/work around.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Yes, I'm having the same difficulty when installing FM Web
Studio by FMWebSchool.com. I get the [empty] "Document type could
not be added" error 33 times on application launch. I see no
templates, no dynamic page creation options.
PS. Edited to note I'm on MacOS 10.4.10, PowerPC, DW MX2004

Problems installing windows 8 on a mac

Hi to all,
I am having problems installing windows 8 on my late 2010 mac book pro. I have created the boot camp partition on the hard drive and have begun the windows 8 install. I have reached the point of where you need to restart the mac and have tried to restart only to find that I can't, so I have pressed the power off button to switch off. Then I press power on and have come to the black screen with the writing no bootable device detected, insert a disc then press any key. I have tried this but nothing happens, I have tried the mac osx disc, and still nothing happens. How do I reboot my mac, anyone????.
Cheers

Thanks bob,
I have read elsewhere on the Internet that windows 8 is supported on bootcamp and that it works.
Sometimes yes, often no, but it is unsupported officially so you'll have to live with it.

Problems installing Java JRE 7 on Mac OS Lion

I have problems installing jre-7u6 on Mac OS Lion 10.7.4. Downloaded the latest version for this OS from the following link http://jdk7.java.net/download.html.
Installation is normally and correctly. But when I try to see in the terminal with the command "java -version" still shows the old version, the new version is not installed.
Somebody can help me?

You're reasoning it the wrong way around dude. You should find a mac forum to ask this. The reason is very simple - you need mac users which have run into this before and know how to fix it. Where are you likely to find them?
Well there are likely SOME mac users here, but not as many as on a mac forum...

Help!

nrg adjusta,
Sorry it took me a while to repsond, Ive been pretty busy with school and work. But for my hard drive problem, I did hours and hours of more research and trying countless ways of installing and tweaking things in my laptop and absolutely nothing worked that I could do. It was very irritating because I felt like I was so close to fixing it and I was just missing a step somewhere. Though It still boggles me why the disk utility shows a different capacity for the HD's. One thing I'm going to try next is replacing the hard drive cable that goes from the internal HD to the macbook. I read somewhere that sometimes those can go bad over time, and also if you get a new, modern hard drive, sometimes the old cable (for some odd reason) might not be compatible with the new HD. So i want to test it out for myself to see it that is the actual culprit.
http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Hard-Drive-Cable/IF186-018
Once I get the cable and install it I'll let you know the results and if it helped at all.
Have you made any progress on your hard drive at all? If worst comes worst for you, you can probably get a SATA to USB cable and try to reformat it that way (this is the way that worked for me, but the only problem was it wouldn't be recognized when I installed it internally. Thats why i want to try getting the new cable), and if it still wont recognize it after that, you can just leave it outside of your mac, and just boot from that. The only thing that ***** about that is you have this big hard drive handing off the side of your mac when ever you need to use it.
Heres a link for a SATA to USB. this one is good because is compact and protects the HD from damage and most static electricity.

Im still continuing my search for the answer and once i find it (if ever!) I'll post it.

Problem Installing PSE 8.0 - says Another Installation is in progress

I just purchased a brand new CD version of Photoshop Elements 8.0 for Windows. When I run the installation process, I get past the "enter Serial # screen, and I start the Installation and it comes up with an error message saying "Error 1500. Another Installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before continuing this one". I don't have another installation in progress, any idea what I need to do? This is the 2nd one today, the first one was a Mac version that I had to return to the store for a Windows version, but it never started installing. Please help!

Hi Dana,
Right click of your Taskbar at the bottom of the screen, Launch Task Manager, Check the option to "Show processes from all users" and check another instance of Setup.exe or Installer or msiexec.exe already running on the machine. If yes, then End that process and then try to install PSE again.
Sometimes, this error is also seen when windows is installing the updates silently without we knowing about it, or if there is some updates getting installed for some other application installed on your machine?
You may even try to restart the machine and then give it a try?
Keep us informed,
Regards,
Ankush

Having problem installing Win7 using Bootcamp on Mac Mini 2011

I'm trying to install Win7 using bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011. I first partitionned the disc using Bootcamp assistant. Then during Win7 installation I select Partition 4 BOOTCAMP, format it to NTFS, then when I try to select the drive, it says that the drive is not compatible for the installation.
Is there anything I missed???
Thanks

I had a similar problem when I selected upgrade instead of complete install. I want to make sure your aware that you should click the complete option instead of upgrade when you reach that portion of the win7 install. Then you need to select part ion 4 like you have stated and format it to ntfs.
But it seems that you've already done all of that. My advice would be to go back to the Mac side, restore the partition using bootcamp and again partition it. You need at least 25gb of space for 64 bit. I would recommend using at least 40gb. Just trying to help. I apologize if I misunderstood your problems. But make sure you click on the opposite choice of upgrade, I did my mini last night lol but I can't remember the exact name of the option I think it's complete, then select part 4 and click format....

Problem installing vista/xp on a mac pro, installers don't see bootcamp

hello there!
recently, a video post production studio i work for purchased a new penryn-based mac pro (2x3.0 ghz, 6gb ram, nvidia 8800gtx).
yesterday i wanted to install vista onto it to be able to help other windows machines in the studio with 3d studio max rendering jobs (8 cores should do wonders for that), but i ran into a weird obstacle.
this mac has 5 internal sata drives - one (320gb) for the system, and 4 disks (750gb each) in raid0 set (just a temporary setup until the studio purchases a fiber optic card with external disks). the DVD drive is an IDE one.
this is the first time i'm setting up windows on a mac, so i could be doing something wrong, even though i doubt it - it seems very straightforward.
so i created a 32gb partition on the system disk (the only one that's not in raid) using boot camp assistant, and started vista sp1 x64 install (boot camp recognized the install dvd).
after a reboot, vista started it's setup routine. everything was fine until it reached the part where i should select the destination partition for vista. this is the weird part: vista installer sees all 4 750gig drives from the raid, but it doesn't see my system drive (320gig) which has Macintosh HD and BOOTCAMP partitions on it. vista even sees any usb drives connected.
doesn't seem logical, as all sata drives are on the same controller (at least that's what leopard system profiler says).
i thought it had something to do with the fact i'm trying to install 64bit vista, so i tried with windows xp sp2 (x86), but the same thing happened.
i searched all over, but couldn't find anyone with the same problem.
any thoughts?

This thread says it all - and then some
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7150748&#7150748
I would pull all the drives except your boot drive. Makes it easier.
32GB is pretty small actually for Vista x64. And the SP1 patch process can temporarily use another 10GB. Also, you are running off the slow inner tracks of your drive, which is half performance of outer tracks.
Most people opt for stock 2.8GHz Penryn - not a huge benefit from going with 3GHz, but that is beside the point.
Always good to disconnect any device during the install except what you have to use (keyboard, mouse) which can interfere.
You MUST reformat the 32GB from FAT to NTFS before you can install. That is where most people stop. You have to DELETE and then CREATE that BOOTCAMP 32GB (Advanced Options) before you can proceed with installation.
You don't want 32-bit version if you want to access more than 1.9GB RAM.
Lots of threads here in BootCamp, in Mac Pro Discussion, and MacRumors Windows on Mac.

Problems Installing Oracle Companion CD on Mac OS 10.4

I have already installed Oracle 10.1.0 on my Macintosh G4 running OS 10.4. It is up and running.
I have downloaded the Oracle Companion CD and I am trying to install it on my Mac but I am having
problems. I am trying to install it as oracle. I am unable to successfully execute the 'runInstaller'

I have tried the following:

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

This was the installation guide that I was following:

However, I have been able to resolve my problem by ssh as root and
then 'su oracle'.
The installation has been completed. Thanks.
