PSE 9 editor not opening on mac

Hello, I just purchased and received my first adobe program last week. I have used trials of photoshop before, but never PSE. I installed the software and when I open it the home screen comes up and the organizer will open, but the editor does not. I tried opening the organizer and clicking full photo edit, but nothing happens then either. I am really bothered by this because I spent so much money on software that isn't working, and the tech support team is not available until Tuesday because of the holiday weekend. I hope someone out there can help me with this issue. Thanks in advance!

Performed update to 3.6.6, and now it will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4

I performed the update to 3.6.6, and now Firefox will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4. I hope I haven't lost all my bookmarks, etc.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after the update to 3.6.6

Using your link, I downloaded the new version. When I dragged the Firefox icon into the applications folder, it asked if I wanted the new version to replace the existing one, and I said yes. I was then told that it couldn't be done because I had insufficient privileges for some items. Is the reason for this that I didn't trash the old version BEFORE dragging the new one into the applications folder (under the assumption that "replace" meant that the old version was trashed as the new one was installed)? If not, it appears that I am back to the same problem I've had before.
Since I'll be replacing this computer soon, it seems too troublesome to bother with this update. I'd just like the update reminders to go away!

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

ORGANIZER IN PSE 10 WILL NOT OPEN, HAVE TRIED A HUNDRED TIMES, WORKED FINE PREVIOUSLY! HELP ANYONE!

Organizer in PSE 10 wil not open, have tried a hundred times, worked fine previously, help anyone?

Thanks for your response DJ. I have Windows Vista and I'am getting NO error messages, crazy right? I just click on the organizer and it acts like its going to do something and then you wait and wait for maybe 30 minutes and it just doesn't move forward. I have been using the PSE programs for many years and have never encountered this problem! I have thousands of pictures on this program and its starting to freak me out that I cant access any of them! If you have any additional ideas please let me know. Thanks Julie

My new edition of PSE 12 will not open after a system restore.

So my BF ran a system restore and now my PSE 12 will not open. It does NOTHING when I click on the icon. I tried uninstall/reinstalling it with NO success. Has anyone else had this happen and know how to get it working again???

Maybe you restored to a version of Firefox that crashes or still have a virus problem.
(irrc some Firefox versions specifically had problems after Windows restores)
Follow up checking for malware and then try re-installing Firefox. I would also suggest you make a copy of your [[profiles|profile]] including all folders and sub files and put it somewhere safe as it may assist in restoring your bookmarks and information.

Elements 9 editor NOT opening!!!

HELP!!!
After owning Pse 9 for a couple years now, iam having problems opening the editor.
I have read through many of the forums and tried:
Creating a shortcut to open pse.
resetting the preferences
altering the Twain plugin name( it says pse.8ba) and another which says "save for web(el).8be"
re-installing
Tried running via the administrator method...
ALL TO NO AVAIL!
I have a Sony vaio 64 bit laptop running windows 7.
After re-installing PSE 9 the editor DID open via the "run the administrator" option for a couple days....and now its being defiant again!
Im hoping someone can come up with a genius solution, but if not, can someone please tell me how i can get a refund?
Yours...In hope!

Deactivate Photoshop Elements 8 - Editor not opening

Hello,
I have previously installed Elements 8.0 in my PC, and everything was working well until I changed the partition in my Hard Disk.
Ever since PSE won't run. I run the Elements Organizer manually, and it works, but whenever I want to run the Editor it keeps telling me:
"could not open a scratch file because the file could not be found."
And, After clicking ok, another box pops up and says
"could not intialize photoshop because the file could not be found."
So there's one problem..I've tried deleting the preferences file (Adobe Photoshop Prefs.PSP) but still the same problem. The Organizer works but not the Editor.
But actually, what I want to do is do a clean installation of my OS (Windows XP), but first I need to deactivate the working copy of PSE, which I can only do from the Editor (which is not opening!). How can I deactivate it?? Is there any manual way to do it without necessarily having to open the Editor?
I am afraid that if I just format my Hard Drive and then reinstall everything, it wont accept my serial key. I have installed PSE in other machine, so I need this serial key to work in my machine.
Thank you very much!
Ricardo

So, finally I called to Adobe Support, and after trying (without any positive outcome) to solve the error I had so that I could access the PSE8 Editor; they told me that it was not possible to deactivate PSE8 through the phone, and that if I had any problem, I should call again to the License Support phone number.
I had previously installed PSE8 on other PC, so I was worried that I could not use the only activation I had left in my notebook. However, it turns out that after formatting my hard drive and re-installing Windows, I was able to reinstall PSE8, using the serial key I've got.
It would be nice what sort of information is sent to Adobe when "activating" the software (it should be some kind of "unique" information from our PCs), so that next time we should not worry that much about deactivating the SW before formatting or reinstalling the OS, as long as it's the same computer (and that "unique" informatio still applies).
Well, thanks anyway for trying to help.
Regards,
Ricardo

Photo Editor not opening

I purchased Photoshop Elements 12 last week from amazon.com and I haven't been able to get the Photo Editor to open. My laptop is not connected to any printers and it's not a Mac. How can I open it?
When I try to open the Organizer it says "Online Services could not be initialized. Please reinstall. Press OK to continue without Online Services," but when I select "OK" it seems to work fine. What are the Online Services? How do I reinstall?

We cannot know. You are not providing any system information. That aside, if the program doesn't work, then it may not have been installed correctly in the first place and a reinstall will be necessary. Still, unless you figure out what went wrong, this won't do any good, so system information and otehr details are still required or you're running in circles....

PSE 10 Editor never opens...

Hi folks,
I've used PSE since version 1 and hardly ever a problem until v 10.
It is installed in the default locations in win7 64bit. I've installed it three times so far.
I try to start the Editor from it's exe file to aviod the Unwelcome screen.
v 10 Organiser runs perfectly well.
SInce Editor sets up ever time and looks exactly right, even loading in the picture selected in Organiser for editing, it must be something at the very final stage that is being looked for that isn't found. The first mouse click every times results in Editor freezing and displaying the Adobe error message top left, 'Adobe Photoshop Editor (Not Responding).'
I can't go back to version 9 because I can't find my CD - but that isn't the point. v 9 worked correctly on this machine.
Can anyone offer hope - please.
Thanks.
Ian.

Hi Ken.
Only a single monitor.
I did check this about three months back when I had another focused attempt to resolve the problem. It was always the same: 'cross thread deadlock'. I never got further, which meant that I got nowhere!
I first installed to drive D, Proram Files (x86) and I thought that I might cure the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling onto drive C. No difference. I did install with Norton 360 turned off this last time, but still same error.
Event log: I didn't get very far before. Here's the first of the day opening from editor.exe.

PSE 10 will not open the picture when coming from "edit in" in LR4.

Just installed LR4, when choosing "edit in" PSE, the Elements program opens, but the picture does not display. Is anyone else having this problem, or know what I need to do to fix this?
Thanks

Make sure you are linking in LR Preferences to PhotoshopElementsEditor in Support Files and not an alias.
In Finder hold down Opn (alt) and click Go to reveal the Library.
The other thing to check is your camera raw plug-in which I think needs to be version 6.7 to be compatible with LR4.
Launch the PSE10 Editor and on the menu click:
Help >> Updates
Install ACR 6.7 if available.

Elements 11 Editor not opening

I can open and select pictures in PSE 11 but cannot open pictures in Editor. It acts like its working, says authenticating then nothing no notice or warning pops up. So I tried opening directly into Editor and it won't let me do that either. I really wish I could actually get tech support without paying for it, like every other company in the world.

PSE 8 Will Not Open

I recently upgraded from PSE 6 to PSE 8 (I have Windows 7). I have been using it less than a month. The first problem started when I would get an error when using the Organizer to upload photos to Shutterfly. The error said the Organizer stopped working. I followed some trouble shooting advice listed on the adobe website (ensured my system met minimum requirements, installed current service packs and updates, recreated the preference file, and disabled all startup items). This is when the problem worsened. The Organizer stopped opening at all. I could still open the Editor but could not open the Organizer. Then I received different error messages. At times I would also get the tutorial screen that would pop up, covering the screen not allowing me to open either the Editor or the Organizer.
I then unistalled PSE 8 and reinstalled it (twice). I am not sure what happened but PSE 8 looks very similar to before. I still can't open the Organizer but sometimes I can open the Editor although my recently edited photos are still available. I was expecting a fresh start. But I still get the tutorial screen that blocks me from clicking on the Editor or the Organizer. I did notice the file I changed from psa to psa.old is still there. So now I have psa.old dated 10/3/10 and psa dated 10/10/10.
I recently backed up PSE 8 so I don't mind starting from scratch and importing the backup file.
I would greatly appreciate any help. I love using PSE but right now can't even get the program to open.

OK!!!! Here is what happened: (BTW, adobe was very nice to talk to.) basically he said when the online backup is full, the organizer won't open. You have to go to photoshop.com and delete some images out of your library. Once you've done that you should be able to open the organizer and change the preferences to NOT backup/sync. If you can't get it to open to do that you can hit escape first to see if it will let you in. If it still won't then go to prgram files, pse...get to the folders in pse and drag out to your desktop a folder called online services. After we did that it worked like a charm! I will post step by step later if you need it. He said Adobe will send me an email outlining the step by step process for my records. It took over 1/2 hr on the phone...but once he logged onto my computer it went pretty fast. Hope this helps!
