PSE 8 Installer not running on Mac OS 10.5 or 10.6

I am new to Adobe. This is my first product. No Adobe products on my machines, other than Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Tried to install Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac on two different Aluminum Macbooks - one running OS 10.5 and the other 10.6.
After inserting the DVD there is no installer that runs.
I get an icon on the desktop. Clicking the icon shows me several files on the disc - including the read me file that says to install just "follow the onscreen instructions."
There is one file that is titled "setup" - but when I click that it asks for my password. I have not provided the password because it just doesn't feel like this is the proper way to install this software.
Any ideas on how to get the installer to run?
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Regarding "There is one file that is titled "setup" - but when I click that it asks for my password. I have not provided the password because it just doesn't feel like this is the proper way to install this software.":
AFAIK, installers of Adobe applications do ask for an admin password before they start installing them on user's machine. There are multiple reasons to ask for the admin priveledges:
1. It prevents a guest/unknown user who might use your machine for some time to make any changes on your machine like installing/uninstalling applications.
2. Installer gets the required priveledges to copy files in \Applications, \User specific folders, OS specific folders, etc with right set of permissions assigned to different files so that application doesn't nag user while running for admin priveledges.
3. In many enterprises, admins do not want applications that install without admin privilege, as this is seen as an attempt to work around deliberate install restrictions.
Regarding you suggestion of "Adobe should include this step in the "installation" instructions on the "read me" file for users like me.", we will try to take care of this in future releases as some other users have also raised this issue. Thanks again for sharing feedback.
I am happy that you been able to get started.
Regards,
Ankush

It will not run on Mac OSX 10.5.8, on a G% dual 2.0ghz, now my older version of Firefox is gone...

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and It will not run on Mac OSX 10.5.8, on a Mac G5 dual 2.0ghz. Now my older version of Firefox is gone...Why won't it work, the download page says it is for OSX and does not say it will not work on any particular OSX. Can your clarify. And can I get the old Firefox 3 back or should I continue using Safari....?

Yes I've read every one of them, none of them provide solutions whatsoever, I have spent about ten hours on this site in the past two days to no avail, none of the "resolved" threads provided any sort of solution for me, I have tried everything suggested on this website so far, multiple times, to no avail.

Bridge 6.1.0.115 will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Unfortunately, I upgraded to the new version. How do I revert to the older version that works with Mac OS 10.6.8?

Is there a way to download the previous or older version of Bridge CC. The current version will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Thanks for any assistance.

The current version will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Thanks for any assistance.
The easiest way would be to update to at least 10.7.5 (supported on most older Macs) but maybe you have strong reasons not to do so, however it will put you in to more trouble in the future because newer applications have more often the habit of not being able to support older OS versions due to limitations of this old OS.
Here is the announcement of Adobe:
http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/moving-ahead-with-mac-os-x-10-7-and-higher/
However PS CC should still work on your system and otherwise CS6 should. As a cloud subscriber you still have access to both CC and CS6 on the Adobe CC download pages. But only PS is a major upgrade (changed to version 2014) and Bridge has just a minor update and should still work on 10.6.8 I would think?
Installing the updates and upgrades did not remove or uninstall the CC versions of PS, otherwise use CC application to install CC again.

Why will PSE 2 not run nor be uninstalled?

Suddenly, when launching PSE 2 I get the message "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". Attempts to get help from Adobe have failed. I then tried to uninstall it. I do not have the original CD to attempt a reinstall. The program does not show up in the Add/Remove utility nor in the Installer Cleanup Utility. Anyone know how to get it running or how to get rid of it?
Thanks,
Jim B

Well, there are several file paths in Win XP to a PSE installation. C:/ program files/ Adobe/ Photoshop Elements xxx , and C;/ Documents and Settings / User/ Application Data/ Adobe / PSE xxx. This is not to mention the settings in the system registry.
Because of Winddows " .dll " files, summarily removing folders can be a risky proposition. Messy business, are .dll files. This is the reason the Mac users are always crowing about how good the Mac OS is. The Mac OS creates a "mount point" and each program is then treated as if it were a CD. So, you can simply trash a program folder, no harm, no foul.
For example, the other day I uninstalled a copy of PSE 5 from a Win 7 computer. Then I tried to clean up by removing the program folder. Whoops, after that the DVD drive disappeared, and "Device Manager" was of no use trying to restore it. I'm guessing a couple of .dll files were left behind which connected PSE to the burner, since the program grants itself burn rights on the machine.
So, it is imperative that before you try any of this, that you create a system restore point.
Clocking the system back to when PSE 2 was working seems to be the least hazardous thing to try first.
A thorough system scan with reputable security software is always a great idea, even if it has nothing to do with the problem.
There are a couple of freeware programs available that can assist with system registry repairs and and clean up. They are "CCleaner" and "Advanced System Care". These are available at http://www.techspot.com/downloads.html As always I recommend that a novice user do a fair amount of research before launching to tasks such as the topic of this thread.
Since fools rush in and all that, personally I would acquire a copy of PSE 3 and just install that. It would go into it's own folder and freshen up the system file situation. Almost every piece of hardware you purchase has one version of PSE or another, perhaps a friend might have an unused copy laying about.

PSE 11 not compatible with Mac Mountain Lion?

Before I upgraded to Mountain Lion and bought PSE 11, I checked to make sure they were compatible. Sure enough, on the Photoshop package it says it runs on" Mac OS v. 10.6 through v. 10.8". At the beginning of my "installation" I got a message saying I couldn't use the PSE 11 Install application "because Power PC applications are no longer supported." When I researched this problem online I found that all the geeks know that you can't install PSE 11 on a Mac running Mountain Lion because Mac no longer has Rosetta, a dynamic binary translator for Mac OSX that allowed Power PC applications to run.
Since Rosetta hasn't been on new Macs since Snow Leopard (2008), wouldn't you think Adobe would invent an Install.app that wasn't Power PC? Or do they hate Apple? (I've heard they do.)

Dianaapp this could also be an indication that your installation media has become damaged. Can you please try copying the install files to your desktop and see if you receive a disk error?
If you do or as an alternative you can download and install Photoshop Elements 11 from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us.
I have installed Photoshop Elements 11 on two Macs running 10.8 and my own Mom just upgraded to 10.8 and was able to install Photoshop Elements 11 successfully as well.

Cisco Connect does not run with Mac OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

When I first installed Cisco Connect that came with my E1500 router, I was running Mac OSX Snow Leopard (10.7) and it worked fine. I upgraded my OSX to Mountain Lion and now when I start Cisco Connect, I get:
Unsupported operating system
The router software supports these operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later
- Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later
- Mac OS X 10.7 or later
I saw some other thread/info/download on Cisco Connect with Lion (10.7) but nothing for Moutain Lion (10.8) - is there a fix forthcoming?
Thanks
Gary

All i want to do is disable the guest function through cisco. i live in an apartment and everyone logs into my guest account. i was at my neighbours and they were laughing saying they done need to subscribe for the internet cause they just log onto local wi fi. and mine is one of them. i dont know if that'll slow down my internet with so many people using it. but all i want to do is just avoid it all together and get rid of it. but in this case i am having the same problem as all of you. to disable the guest function you need to go through cisco connect and it is not compatible with mac osx mountain lion. grrrrrrr

Java Plugin not running on Mac OS X browsers

Hi
I have created an applet that runs on any browser on Windows, and runs only as an application on Mac OS X. But when I try to run it as an applet on Mac OS X, it does not run. I have installed the latest Java from apple, and changed the preferences to run 1.6 Java on the browsers.
I get the following error:

Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks,
GK

After doing some research, I still cannot fix this problem.
I Build the applet on Mac OS X using netbeans 6.7.1, with Java 6 (64-bit, there is no Java 6 - 32 Bit on Mac OS X)
When I run the applet on safari or firefox on Mac OS X, The console says running on Java 5. (Although the properties have been changed in Mac OS X /Utilities/Java Preferences)
I have been struggling with no end in site, for this issue.
I was able to get the Applet working by reverting to Java 5 and using the Java Swing jar from Java.net. But I still want to be able to just use Java 6 in Mac OS X. (I can't use the GUI Builder in netbeans with the separate swing jar).
ANY HELP please.

ADE installer not run

After download ADE_2.0_Installer.exe, i am trying to run it, but nothing happens.
Some help pls..

I wasn't sure if you were replying to me, or exactly what you meant when you said: "Then the fix for windows vista is not valid again, because uses the same ADE2.0 installer". If you mean that the installer for VISTA and XP is the same, then the fix that worked for me should work for you.\
Like you, the installer would not run for me, and there was no message. As clicking on the above link (in my previous reply) used to explain, clearing a setting on the properties of the installer will unblock it and allow it to run. The link doesn't seem to be valid anymore. Why would that be? Anyhow I downloaded it again and looked at it and the method I used is to right click on the installer icon, select "properties", then click on "unblock" on the "general" tab.
HTH.

PSE 11 not running in Windows 8?

Greetings,
I installed PSE11 on Windows 8 machine and it ran fine once. Now it launches and I see it starting then dissapears. I think it is running in backround as i see it in task manager. I ran the compatability trouble shooter and used the recommended settings but problem persists. Also tried running as adminestrator and still same problem. The auto uploader runs fine as well but then I cant see organizer. I had the same issues with PSE10 but that ran fine on this same machine for a month. My problems started when i left PSE10 running and let the computer sleep, hybernate and eventually shut down. Ever since then PSE 10 and now PSE 11 wont run or runs in backround and I cant see them. I have unistalled and re-installed bioth to no avail. Do I need to do a PC recovery?

Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icons and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.
Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
N.B. navigate to Program Files on 32 bit systems.

Re: PSE 10 not installing on Mac OSX 10.7.2

Robbie does the installer give you an error message when you are trying to install? It looks like this thread has a couple different issues in it. They are as follows:
How do I install Photoshop Elements 10?
I am trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 but it conflicted with SugarSync, after installing as root user it installed successfully.
Which issue do you have or did you have a different issue? What steps have you performed to try to correct your difficulties?

The disc, once inserted, does nothing. I have opened the folders and tried to click on setup.exe and so on. Anything that looks like it would start things moving. Nothing does anything. I am no computer tech. I just want it to install and work. I have no expertise in getting around computer issues. I have never had any issues with any of my Macs (I own three) before with any software. There is nothing wrong with my Mac so don't bother going there. It is as Apple delivered it. I have no non-Apple software on it that may create a conflict. All software on the machine is up to date. As software is not returnable I am more than a little stressed. Several places recommended PSE 10 and talked me out of Aperture 3. I now regret the decision. Please provide me detailed instructions as to how to install this software. Thank you.

HP laserjet P1102w not running on Mac

I use a MacBook Air on a W7 network. Th HP P1102w works fine from the Windos machines and it did so on my Mac. When I updated to Mavericks it was the end of the story.
When I try to get it running it says that "the software for this printer is not available via Apple. Please consult your printermanufacturer for a new version.
Where do I find it?????

Hello, sorry that you are experiencing this issue. Have you checked to make sure the new computer network is the same as the one the printer is connected to?
Check the static IP address and see if they are on the same network.

Flash Player 11.8.800.94 is not running on Mac OS X 10.8.4 (MB Pro mid 2010 13,3")

Hi there,
I wonder if i can get any help here? I installed the latest flash player and it won't work. I can't watch movies, videos, etc.
When I open any stream or for example a youtube video, nothing happens. Just a black player.
Even the checkbox on adobe's troubleshoot page didn't show anything. Not even a "plug-in missing" or an error code. Nothing.
When I uninstall the program, everything seems normal, except that I can't watch movies, of course. The white box (on the troubleshoot page) appears and it looks like it should -> no flash player installed. If I install the latest version again, the same things as described happen again...
Version 11.7.700.232 works fine.
I'm really stuck right now. Is it possible that my hardware isn't supported by the current version? I actually don't think so....
Would really appreciate some help or clues.
Thanks and greets.
P.S.: I'm using the latest Safari and Google Chrome. Neither of them works with flash player 11.8.

No, the problem still occurs.
It's weird there are no plug-in errors or something.
