PSE12 on Windows 8.1

I bought Sony Vaio Flip with Win 8.1. I installed PSE12 & imported 10+ years of photos. After many hours tagging and face recognition, catalog would not back up. Tried to Reconnect - failed due to "corrupt database". Now I cannot reconnect, backup or repair. I'm trying not to lose 50+ hours efffort tagging 1ook+ pics. Should have backup up sooner, but is everything lost if I uninstall/reinstall PSE12? Any other options? All updates are current.

uninstall pse 12 and then reinstall.

Installed PSE12 on Windows 8. Both organiser and editor stopped working after files were imported.

After uninstalling PSE12 and several other Adobe files and some Adobe folders that had itunes items in them I got Pse12 to open.
However it stated that my trial period had expired even tough I never installed a trial version and only had installed the full version the previous day.
When this was double clicked i got organiser to open but still cant get editor to open.
Any suggestions?

I purchased PSE12 for windows, now I want to install it on a Mac. Is this possible?

I have PSE 12 installed on my PC. I read that I can have it on two computers. I have a new Mac - can I install it on my Mac? If so, how? Thank you!

I just did a chat as well. If I get another Mac, I can download PSE12 on it and it should accept the license. He never said it's because I didn't have the boxed version, but said it's because the version I downloaded online is only for a Mac. I use an old version of PSP at work and will continue to use that there. I could have learned more about PSE at work than at home since I get a lot of spare time to play at work! lol Too bad you can't give me your license for the PC and I give you mine for the Mac.

Purchased PSE12 for Windows in error. How to switch to Mac version? [was: How can I get to SPEAK to someone in Adobe????]

I have recently purchased Photoshop Elements - but accidentally chose the PC version rather than Mac (I had changed to Mac the week before). I spent over 3 hours using the online support to get the activation code changed from a PC to a Mac version but the conversation kept disconnecting, meaning that I had to go over everything 3 times. I just want to speak to someone!!!! Can anyone guide me on how I can rectify this?
Thanks

How do I find all of the photos that do NOT contain a specific person tag?

I am scanning my old photos and slides and organizing them with Photoshop Elements 12. I have recently started taging the pictures with family names. I see from this forum that I can search for untagged pictures but how can I find all the pictures that do NOT contain the "Smith" family tag but might contain the "Jones" family tag? Some pictures will be marked with more than one family name. The "Find by Details" option defaults to "includes" for keywords and people. There is no way to set it to "not includes".
I am running PSE12 on Windows 7 Professional on a Dell XPS desktop.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Don K.

See the online help:
http://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/using/finding-media-files-keyword-tags.html#excl ude_media_files_from_a_search
The workaround is often to create a temporary tag for pictures not having a given keyword. Even with a very big catalog, tagging nearly all images is astonishly quick. You select based on the keyword, then use the option to show 'non matching' items, and assign them another (negative) keyword.

Elements 10 - camera raw 6.7.0.339 - sony alpha NEX-6 file-id: ARW

Hallo,
my elements 10 can not read the raw-files ARW produced by my NEX-6-camera.
What shall I do to work with these raw-files.
Thanks in advance
[email protected]

You would need to convert your ARW raw files to Adobe raw DNG to use in PSE10. Otherwise upgrade to PSE11 or preferably the latest version PSE12.

Installing PSE 12 on Mac and PC

Hello, I'm planning to buy the Photoshop Elements DVD for Mac/PC. As far as I found out in the EULA it is possible to intall the software twice (but use only one installation at a time):
"2.1.3 Portable or Home Computer Use. ... may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer ..."
But then I find this section as well und the EULA:
"2.1.5 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. Customer must purchase a separate licsense for use of the Software on each operating system platform..."
I would like to know whether I can install PSE 12 on my PC (Windows) and on my Macbook (OS X) and use the installations alternately - or not? 2.1.3 means yes - additional installation on a mobile device is allowed but 2.1.5 says no - intallation on different OS is not allowed.... ?!?
Has anyone experiences with this combination?
Thanks a lot - Stefan

Hi Stefan
You are permitted two activations; so no problem. I’m running PSE12 on Windows 7 and OSX 10.9.
Shop around as good discounts can usually be obtained when PSE13 is likely to be out soon. Or if you are not in a hurry wait for the new version and use the PSE12 free trial for 30 days.

PSE 12 Organizer error in W8.1 can't find directx

newly installed pse12 on Windows 8.1... Organizer failed error - can not locate MS Directx, How to fix?

You can enable DirectPlay under legacy features in 8.1. from the Windows Control panel
Control panel >> Programs >> Programs and Features
Click on: Turn windows features on or off.
N.B. Microsoft does not recommend turning on legacy features in Windows 8 which they say may impair performance but others have found this to work.

Reinstalling PSE12 after clean install of windows 8.1

I already purchased PSE12 from this site and installed it on this PC, but I just found out that I need to reinstall windows 8.1 (to switch from 32 bit to 64 bit). Will I be able to use the same license on the computer after I reinstall, or will I need to buy a new copy of PSE?

Use Help> Sign Out before reinstalling Windows. This will deactivate the software. Be sure you're connected to the Internet when you do this.
Cheers,
Neale

Windows 8.1 - Have loaded PSE12 and Organizer works fine - not able to open Editor!

Windows 8.1 - Have loaded PSE12 and Organizer works fine - not able to open Editor! - I get the moving band - but nothing! Any suggestions - it has worked until the computer crashed and I have reloaded it (several times) and yet Editor won't open - how frustrating!.

I think you need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”
It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Ask to be transferred to technical support. Have your serial number available. The agent can directly troubleshoot your system if you agree to activate the Adobe Connect add-on.

PSE12 download difficulties with Windows Home Basic Vista SP2

After 4 attempts and 4 failures and equally 4 uninstall operations, I have yet to get a functional version of PSE12 purchased online at the Adobe website in Dec, 2013. Furthermore, my Adobe account does not list this purchase...YES, I do have a copy of the original purchase receipt both hard-copy printed, and pdf-copy-saved, at the time of purchase. And, yes, my Visa card provider lists Adobe posting this purchase. However, Adobe never emailed me to confirm my purchase nor give me a link to download the software! I did register my PSE12 serial number at my Adobe account site a few days later. That is the only information Adobe shows on my account regarding my as-yet-unobtained PSE12.
I have a 5 year old Dell Inspiron with Windows Home Basic Vista SP2 that also seems to have all the requirements to use PSE12. I have PSE6 now on the machine, and, really love its features. I do not view any video on this laptop, i.e. no movies or video games, just occasion short YouTube-type videos. This is word-processing and image-processing workhorse. I do a fair amount of PhotoShop work with still images, and, simply wanted the latest upgrade of PSE. Adobe was offering it at a good sale price.
I have been online to chat with Adobe telling me to go through the trial download version, then 'buy' it by giving the serial number. That worked once, but, did not generate a functional app. What is Error 105??? I have had at least two phone calls with Adobe, one with a rep who could not help, and, the other with a rep whose foreign accent was almost impossible to understand. I am hearing-inpaired, and, mere audio-volume enhancement is not always enough trying to speak with someone for whom English is not their native language.
So now what? I do not have high confidence that Adobe can or will fix this. I have posted several detailed reports at their security site because I was concerned that my downloads were being hijacked and possibly my credit card information compromised. They say they do not have my phone number, though it is posted at my Adobe account site. Adobe Photoshop and Adobe's pdf options are very good programs that I used for years, first with Apple computers, and, then after 2008 with a Windows PC. Has Adobe become overwhelmed with cyber-security problems? I'm about at the point where I want my money back. Can anyone suggest an image-application as good as PSE? Help!

Windows 7 Taskbar and PSE12 Organiser

My Windows 7 taskbar does not pop-up as usual at the bottom of the screen when I have PSE 12 Organiser open full screen. To access my desktop or other programs, I have to minimise PSE 12 organiser.
The taskbar works OK when I have PSE 12 Editor open full screen

In windows 7, if you right click any icon that is pinned to the taskbar, and then, with that program's menu displayed, left click an empty part of the taskbar and move the mouse in any direction. The taskbar (even if it is locked) will jump to the top of the screen.

Hi
I tried but was unable to recreate the behavior you are describing.
If this is something that just started recently, you might want to try using s System Restore point to go back to a time before the behavior started.
If this does not fix the problem, try creating a new User Account, Create a user account, log on with the new account and try to recreate the behavior.
If the behavior cannot be recreated with the new user account, this may indicate that your current user account is corrupted.
If this is the case, replace the corrupted account with a new account using the instructions in the following article.

How to I move PSE12 catalog photos from a Windows 7 computer to a Windows 8.1 computer?

I have read Adobe's instructions on moving from one computer to a new computer, including some special instructions about going from XP to Windows 7. Are there special considerations in moving from Windows 7 (64-bit) to Windows 8.1? Or is it as straightforward as backing up the photos and catalog to an external hard drive, deactivating PSE 12 on the old computer, installing PSE 12 on the new computer, and restoring the backup to the new computer?

So it's not a new computer? That's what your post seemed to indicate.
Copy /My Music/iTunes/iTunes/ media/ folder on the old computer and put it into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.
