PSE 10 won't open "CREATE" tab - stalls at "Initializing" (Mac OSX 10.6.8)

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a copy of Photo Shop Elements & Premiere Elements 10 and can't get PSE to work properly. I can't use the "Create" tab - which is really annoying because it is the main reason I wanted PSE 10 for... So far I've tried 3 clean installs without any success - it always stalls at "initializing."
My computer meets the minimum system requirements:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.54Ghz, 100gb of free hdd space, 4GB RAM and OSX 10.6.8 running.
The rest of the program seems to be ok - but I can't access that tab... I'm beyond frustrated by now...
Can anyone help me out here? I'd really appreciate it...
Thanks!

Hi Barbara! The Creat tab does open in organizer - but when you select an option ex. photo calendar, it switches to pse and it stalls at initializing...
I tried EVERY fix suggested on the link you posted and nothing worked - except creating a new user account. I just created a new Admin account and It works!!!
Don't know what is wrong with mine though... I'd have to copy my photo library to the new account which is kind of troublesome and a pain to do... Plus I'll be having to switch from one account to the other to access the rest of my content (migrating all of my content to the new account will be VERY hard to do and take even more time)... Oh well - at least I get to use all of the functions in PSE!
Thanks so much for your help!

Hi, my mail won't open from my dock on my mac and it won't quit so I can't restart. Anyone help?

Hi, my mail won't open from my dock on my mac and it won't quit so I can't restart. Anyone help?

Hello ward886,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like Mail is unresponsive, and you are unable to access it or restart your system. In a situation like this, I recommend force quitting Mail and restarting your computer.
Use one of the following methods to force Mail to quit:
Using the Force Quit feature of OS X makes an application close, even when it is not responsive.
Important: Normally you should not need to force quit an app to close it. When an app is forced to quit, any unsaved changes to open documents are not saved, so try these methods to normally close the app first:
Choose Quit from the app menu. For example, in Safari, choose Safari > Quit Safari.
Choose Quit by right-clicking or control-clicking on an app's icon in the Dock.
If your app does not close using the steps above, use any of these steps to force the app to quit:
Switch to another app, such as the Finder, then choose Force Quit from the Apple menu. Select the unresponsive app in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
Press Command-Option-Esc, then select the unresponsive app from the Force Quit window that appears, and click Force Quit.
Hold down the Control and Option keys on your keyboard, and click the icon of the unresponsive app in the Dock. Select Force Quit from the menu that appears.
Open Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder or the Spotlight menu. Select the unresponsive app in the Activity monitor window. Choose Quit Process from the View menu, or click the Force Quit button in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window.
If you cannot switch from the unresponsive app, press Command-Option-Shift-Esc for three seconds to force it to quit. This key combination tells OS X to force quit the frontmost app.

Safari 5.1.9 problems in OSX10.6.8 (won't open pages/tabs-buggy)

Hi,
My rig:
OSX 10.6.8
iMac Late 2006 Intel Core 2 Duo 4Gb RAM
Safari 5.1.9
I have two tabs that are working ok: facebook & Gmail, but Safari fails to open new tabs.
When I try to open other sites in a new tab, I get the "safari can't open the page because it can't connect to the server" error.
The internet is working ok as Firefox is fine.
I've updated the security patches for Snow Leopard.
I've done the Java updates.
I've also tried re-installing Safari via download from Apple.
I've run Disk Utility to repair the disk (does it actually do anything?)
I've tried repaired permissions via Onyx & Disk Utility.
All I want is a reliable browser!
Is this Apple's twisted way to get people to update from Snow Leopard and/or buy a new iMacs??
I tried Chrome & its a piece of crap - so slow & buggy!!
Firefox is ok atm but it does crash ocassionally (that's why I ditched it some time ago).
I went back to Safari (my previous default browser) & maybe it was a bad move!?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Vic.

Hi,
I managed to solve the issue by stumbling across a thread on FineTunedMac.
I was actually about to close the tab then glanced at it.
In the end the problem was with Little Snitch 2.3.6.
Somehow it had blocked any connection on port 80 & once I deleted that the world was good again.
Strange!!
Thanks for your help.
Will closing down Java create any issues with web browsing?
I've checked my extensions & they're set up to auto update in preferences, so I assume they should be ok.
Kind Regards,
Vic.

Firefox won't open new tab, have to open new window for any link.

New tab won't open both when attempting to do it by clicking on "cross" in the tabbar or from File >> new tab.
Thanks

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Firefox won't open new tabs

The little plus next to the tabs does nothing when I press it, going to file and new tab won't open a new tab, and neither does using control t. The only way I can get a new tab to open is to click a link or I have to open a whole new window. How do I fix this?

That can a problem with the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Firefox won't open a new tab. It opens links on a new tab but if I try to open a new tab manually it does nothing. It was fine yesterday but not today.

Can't open Create-tab

I'm not able to open the "Create"-tab in elements 10 anymore. It onlys says "initializing" but nothing happens. I've tried to reinstall the application using the uninstaller, without success. I run Mac on OSX 10.8.2 What should I do?

Note that the library in 99jon's post is the library at the top level of your hard drive. You have three libraries in OS X: system>library (never go there), your username>library, and hard drive>library. You want the latter, which isn't exactly hidden, but is hard to find in 10.8. You can most easily make it visible by going to the finder preferences>sidebar and turning on hard disks:
Then when you click the name of your hard drive on the left side of a finder window, that library will be at the top level of results.

Won't Open in Tabs

How do I get any new sites to open in tabs? I have all the right things set in preferences, but any time I hit a new page it just opens a new window.
I know command T allows me to open a blank tab, but what I'd like to do is have it open a new tab every time I do a search and hit a result.
Also: is it possible there is STILL no "home" button on the front interface in 3.2.1??
Thanks

There is a way, but for some reason it's a hidden option (maybe it's a bit buggy?).
Try this:
1. Quit Safari via Safari menu > Quit
2. Open up a Terminal window (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
3. Paste the following command into the Terminal window and then press return:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
4. Close the Terminal window.
5. Open Safari
Links that would normally open in a new window should now (hopefully) be opened in a new tab instead.
Good luck!

Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari. I have Reader 9.4.5. It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.

Firefox opens with I access Dashboard on Mac OSX 10.6.4, why?

Every time I open my dashboard screen on my Mac, Firefox starts up and opens two windows, it appears to be trying to open a link automatically. How do I get this to stop? I suspect it might have something to do with the webclip feature on Safari but I don't understand why it prompts firefox to open.

Trying to use Imovie to create a movie using a Mac OSX 10.6.7, 3.2 g Intel core. Using clips from my Sony CRX 150 and need to remove sound in order to add music to the movie. HEELLLP!

OK, I 'm attempting my first movie here using this Mac OSX Snow Leopard with IMovie. I have clips I created from an 8mm Movie projector copied on my Sony CRX 150 and the sound of the projector is all over these clips and I have no idea how to remove that before adding music. So far this has been great and this is my first bump in the road. Also I notice tho, that the icon for my camcorder has disappeared from the desktop and looks like I'm gonna have trouble "ejecting" it in order to shut things down!!! HELLLLP!

Thanks. I tested it out and you were correct. I loaded 2 .dv movies from my external HD back onto my internal HD, and got them re-imported into iMovie, took a few short clips from each of the 2 iMovie events and pasted them into a new project in the Project Browser. Then I deleted these 2 "source clips" from my internal HD, closed iMovie and then re-opened it and found that iMovie would NOT export the smaller clips for a "highlights" .4mv movie without the "source clips" being available.
I read your link on Quicktime. It talks about mostly trimming, which is what I did with each iMovie event before I took each one as a project to export as a smaller .4mv file. But if I use Quicktime (do I need QT Pro or basic), what advantage is it to me to use QT over iMovie (I must admit I am a novice at iMovie and have never used QT or QT Pro as a tool)? Will it then convert any edits I make to a .m4v movie or do I need iMovie to do that?
Does QT allow trimming multiple segments out of a movie during one edit session, or can you only do 1 at a time? By that I mean that, for example, when I use Sonys Picture Motion Browser for my .mts movies, you can only set one Start and one End point for each edit/trim you do: it does not allow you to set multiple Start Stop points like iMovie allows in its Event or Project browser. You can only do one "trim" at a time, save it and then reopen to do another trim. not very useful.

Bookmark Open File Action not working on MAC OSX

We are getting the following error when trying to open different files that start find in Finder:
could not find an application to open the file 'xxxxx'
We tried a simple MAC OS Application.app file, a terminal app script and in both cases we get the above error. These same files start up without issue on a click in Finder.
The Open File action "DOES" work on an Microsoft Office File... but does not work for a Mac Application.App file or a AppleScript script file.
Can anyone share how to get Open File to work with some type of script file or application file on the MAC OS with Adobe Reader 11 ?

We ended up having to create an App on the MAC OS with an "associated" file type and then use the Bookmark Open File Action on files of that type. This followed what worked for opening Office files on the MAC from the Bookmark Open File Action.
My question was ... on Windows we could use the Bookmark Open File Action to open up "applications" or "bat scripts" directly... but this does not appear to be supported on the MAC. We could not "start" an app or a script directly from the Bookmark Open File Action. We had to set the action to open a file and then handle that file in the associated application we created for that filetype on the MAC.
Thank you for your question,
James

Cannot open any Java files on my Mac OSX: Problem Solved

Hello all,
I have just begun an Introduction to Java class and I'm already having problems...namely, I cannot open .java files on my Mac.
Whenever I try to open them, I get an error message that says: "You cannot use this version of the application Xcode with this version of Mac OS X."
I'm running version 10.5.4 on a PowerPC Mac. It's a few years old, but I don't understand how it could already be so outdated as to not allow me to even use the application.
I am 100% new to programming and don't really know at all what I'm doing. Apple says their JDK comes with every Mac and no one else seems to be having this problem. I don't really even know where to go to for updates, if that is what I need to do, or if I should just download a different JDK.
This is an intensive (6-week) class and I don't want to fall behind, but it's halfway through the first week and I cannot even open files.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I figured out the problem by getting out my installation disks and I found the latest xCode tools app in the "optional packages" folder.
Installed it and now I'm up and running.

You can download Adobe Reader from adobe.com. The Mac OSX uses its "reader" to open PDF files without the Adobe Reader. If you downloader adobe reader, it should open all PDF files. Hope this helps.

Adobe updater won't quit and I cannot restart my mac osx machine

You need to press and hold the power button for five seconds and do a "hard" shutdown. Then restart.
Download the "offline installer" here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and run it to update.
