Problems running Photoshop Elements 6

Please can somebody help relieve this headache?! I recently bought a reconditioned Powerbook G4 which had OS 10.5.2 installed. I then installed all my personal software (Sibelius, Office etc) with no problem. Then i bought a copy of Photoshop Elements 4. It installed ok but when launched it crashed. I tried removing possible conflicting Adobe preferences, as advised in forums, but still same problem came back. I decided that Elements 4 was not compatible so i bought a brand new copy of Elements 6 while on holiday in Toronto, Canada. THE SAME PROBLEM! So, frustrated I deleted EVERYTHING that says Adobe from every folder i could find. Still crashes after launching. I am using the admin account so I know its not that. Anybody know what I can do? (I am not a computer expert, so walk me through it) Thanks!

Hi again, doughnuts. I'm sorry that test wasn't more revealing. Not being a user of either Leopard or PSE, I'm not sure what to suggest next, apart from checking Adobe's forums to see whether others have reported the same problem.
You could, of course, do some of the normal, nonspecific general troubleshooting and maintenance steps such as Repairing Permissions and Repairing Disk with Disk Utility and making sure you have at least 10GB of free space available on your hard drive.

How do I resolve a constant rainbow wheel when running Photoshop Elements 10?

Greetings,
After running Photoshop Elements 10 successfully for over two years, for the last couple of months I am continually getting a rainbow wheel whenever I am trying to use my PSE 10 software. It takes forever for the wheel to resolve itself. I even close down all other programs and only have PSE 10 running. The performance is terrible. I am running this program on a Macbook Pro with 4 GB RAM and more than 100 GB free disk space.
Here's what I have done to try and remedy this so far:
1. Had the Apple technical team run diagnostics on my computer to detect any operating system or hardware issues. NONE identified. Also ran Disk Utility and performed a disk cleanup.
2. Spent a day deleting a bunch of files to free up additional disk space. Before: 80 GB. After: 107 GB.
3. Purchased (2) 4GB RAM sticks and had a certified Apple technician replace my current (2) 2GB sticks with these new ones. Now running with 8GB RAM.
With all this, I am STILL getting the rainbow wheel. Has anyone experienced this problem, or does anyone have any suggestions?
Should I uninstall and reinstall the software (Photoshop Elements 10 + Organizer)? If so, will all my categorized photos, along with caption notes, file notes, and tags in the Organizer be lost with the new installation?
Thanks in advance for your help.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
G.R. Smith

com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements < version > Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements < version > Settings
com.adobe.Elements Organizer. < version >.plist

and any lockfiles with the same names, then go to Saved Application States (at the same level as preferences) and delete any for PSE, then repair permissions and launch PSE again.

Running Photoshop Elements from different boot volumes

I posted this question on the Adobe message board without success. Hopefully, someone here knows the answer.
I have my MacBook internal drive partitioned into 2 volumes, each with a different OS.
I wish to run Photoshop Elements 6 while booted into an OS that is on a partition different from the partition that was used to install the PE application. Has anyone tried that/done that? Or, any suggestions on which library files need to be duplicated to make it work?

I’m not sure what you mean by licensing issues. I do have a license for Photoshop Elements. The problem is that The PE application will not permit me to re-enter the license code when I launch it from a different volume such as virtually all other applications will do.
That is what I mean by licensing issues. Mac App Store apps have their license inside the application bundle that is cryptographically signed. Such a system is much easier to live with than old-school registration systems such as what Adobe uses.
The version of PE that I am using works just fine. It does everything that I wish to do with it and if it has any bugs, I haven’t seen any.
I have that version of Photoshop Elements. I found it pretty flaky even on Mountain Lion. Some parts of it were discontinued almost immediately upon release. I know that its licensing is quite fragile. I once had an installer for another product that corrupted Photoshop. That wasn't really Photoshop's problem, but it is a fragile system. Here is a link to some tips for using Photoshop Elements on Mavericks: http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mavericks/
The purpose of my post is based upon my desire to run applications from different OS’s on different partitions without re-installing them. I don’t know about applications that I don’t have but all of those that I have tried that exist on my main partition will permit me to launch them from other volumes, that is, all except Adobe Photoshop.
I don't think that is a wise idea. Modern versions of OS X really, really want applications to live inside of /Applications. The operating system heavily caches parts of applications and you could see strange results by running applications installed to any other location.
With older application, especially those that require an administrator password to install (like Photoshop Elements), it simply isn't your decision to make. You can only decide to install it or to uninstall it (if you are lucky). How and under what terms it decides to run is out of your control.
I’ll take a look at your suggestion regarding Pixelmator. If did does everything that I use PE for, without a significant learning curve, I just might say goodbye to Adobe. I assume that iPhoto can use Pixelmator as an external editor and recognize the modifications made by it.
A new version of Pixelmator is due to be released soon: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/01/23/pixelmator-31-gains-dual-gpu-16-bit-im age-support-with-apples-new-mac-pro-
I bought Pixelmator a long time ago to try to get away from Adobe. I wasn't happy with the early versions. But they kept improving it and it kept getting rave reviews so I went ahead and tried it again after the Mac App Store version was released (i.e. I bought it twice) and I am quite happy with the latest version. I am also a big fan of iDraw. I can't even get past Adobe's recent icons. They are so bad! I'm not the only one that thinks so: http://blackpixel.com/blog/2012/02/adobe-icons-from-an-alternate-universe.html

Problem with Photoshop Elements Printing

I have been using Photoshop Elements for a couple of years now and know it pretty well. Today while attempting to print, a strange problem came up: After going through the protocol to make a print, just before the image prints PE does a very fast auto correction that basically ruins all the color correction I have made on the image. How do I disable this function?

Hi and thanks for your reply. I checked the settings under "Print", "More Options", then "Color Management" and it only has "Print Space", none of the three options that you said I should have. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Check your color management by clicking More Options in the print dialog There are basically three options:1) Printer Manages Color2) Elements Manages color3) No color Management Make sure everything is consistent e.g. if you choose Elements manages color make sure color management is switched off in the print driver.

Problems installation Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7

I tried to install Photoshop elements 8 on my Windows 7 computer, but the installation gives a failure after a certain time. A file "...cab" is not working and may be corrupt ( exact failure code I can give, if necesary). Is there any possibility to get this file or the program Photoshop Elements 8 as download file so that I can complete the installation? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello,
I just got the same problem already some time ago when I tried to install this programm in my computer. At that time (March 2012) the program crashed my computer, I had to reinstall all the Software completely including system software. The program I purchased in December 2011 from Amazon together with a Reflecta crystal Scan slide scanner as bundle, so I thought it will work.
I will try to install the program from the download link you gave me, in case it does not work, what can I do next without having to buy a newer version?
Regards

You can download a fresh copy of the install files by following the directions listed at http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-ph otoshop-elements-8.html.
I am curious did you have this installed previously or did you just purchase a copy of Photoshop Elements 8?

Problems with Photoshop Elements 11

I have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11, which i bought last week. Installing was completed according the instructions. When I started to use the program my one year old HP-computer with Windows 8.1 informed that there a failure in the Photoshop program and the did not open.

Problems running Photoshop CS6 under OS 10.8 Mountain Lion

Since updating the OS from 10.6.7 to OS 10.8 on iMacs (21" and 24" Intel 2.4GHz) I have experienced problems running Photoshop. The app boots up fine and I can start a project as normal, but when I click on a tool to change it's usage I get the spinning beach ball, this lasts about 5 - 10 seconds and then the tool drop down menu appears. After this, I get the beach ball appearing every few minutes as I try to work, and the only way to get Photoshop running efficiently is to close it down and then restart.
Any ideas as to the cause? I've read on forums from both Adobe and Apple that apparently there are no compatibility issues between Mountain Lion and CS6 but I never had this problem previously under Snow Leopard.

The next two remedial steps would be to reset all tools by right-clicking here:
and if that does not resolve the problem, reset Preferences;
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11: the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK. Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.

Any article that says you can't run a program in Windows 7 that ran perfectly well in Windows XP or Windows Vista is suspect in it self and should be tossed out of your open window quickly.
Windows 7 is not any different from XP or Vista except that security is much better and the GUI is better but is all XP and Vista behind the hood. I am running some DOS programs in Windows 7!!! Now this must be magic!!

Help! 2006 imac need Mountain Lion to run Photoshop elements

Hi, getting very frustrated : (
Have a 2006 Imac Intel; upgraded to snow leopard last year; now wanted to run Photoshop elements. Imac says NO. We needed Mountain Lion- ordered this online, computer says NO. Need more memory. So have bought and installed new memory (2gb + 1gb). Computer still says no, wont download Mountain Lion.
I just want to use elements!!
Any help appreciated, I'm not that computer savvy
Thanks : D

The new version PSE will run on OS X 10.7 Lion.
PSE 12 runs on 10.7- 10.9
Here are the system requirements for OS X 10.7 Lion.
To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
To find out info about your system
Click on the Apple symbol in the upper left of the OS X main menu bar. A drop down menu appears. Click About this Mac. A smaller popup window appears. This gives you basic info like what version of OS X your iMac is running, the speed of your iMac's CPU and how much RAM is installed.
Click on the button that says More Info. A larger window appears giving you a complete overview of your iMac's hardware specs.
Highlight all of this info and copy/paste all of this into another reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number before actually posting the reply. This will tell us everything about your iMac so we may begin to help with your iMac issues.
If your 2006 iMac can run Lion then you can purchase a Lion install code here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
Before installing a major systems upgrade, it would be prudent to have a viable backup of your current system and important data in case something should go wrong with the installation.
Good Luck!

Here are the specs for a laptop I'm going to be buying. Please let me know whether it's enough to smoothly run Photoshop Elements 11, 64-bit at a fast yet consumer-level pace. I don't want it to be slow, but I do not need excess power either.
Here are the specs:
Processor = Intel Core i5-3230M Processor (3.20GHz, 3MB Cache, 1600MHz) with Intel HD Graphics 4000
Graphics = Intel HM77 - Intel HD 4000 Integrated Graphics (WWAN or mSATA capable)

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

Installation problem with Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10

I purchased in a package Photoshop Elements 10 as well as Premiere Elements 10. It comes with 5 disc....When I install the first disc it does not ask for the 2nd disc once the first disc is done. When the first one was done the option was hit finish and I did and that was it. It did not request the next disc. What do I do?
Thanks
Jim

I have to say that for a reputable company such as Adobe, the instructions for download are totally non existent. The download for purchases on line are controlled by Digital River. I had problems with downloading as the link on the email confirming my purchase didn't work finally found the url link by pasting the email in Front Page and reading the source.
When I finally got through I was advised by the Digital River customer service that I had had too many attempts at downloading the software. When I sent a mail to CS at Digital I received this reply:
"Unfortunately, we do not handle the customer service for Adobe Systems,
Inc. Home. Please contact them directly with your request through one of
the following methods:
Customer Service URL: http://www.adobe.com/ap/support
Customer Service Phone: If available, the regional numbers will be
listed at the URL above.
We apologize for the inconvenience."
I have now run around the adobe site trying to find a way to download the products, but no joy so far.
I tried to get customer serice to call me back , but this service is not available for my country, Thailand.
The final way I am told is to make a call to the customer service at the number listed on my confirmation email.
I already called this number (which I believe I have to pay for) and spent some 10 minutes on the line to what I believe was someone located in India who said he would send me a link for downloading the software.
As they say in the song .... I'm still waiting!!!!!
Adobe, shame on you. Please get your act together. Why can't you handle your own customer service rather than sub contract it out. You charge enough for the product which more than covers the cost
