PSE12 wants to uninstall rather than install but it fails

My PSE12 became corrupted.  I uninstalled using the Windows 8.1 Control Panel.  When I then try to install PSE12 from the disc, it tries to uninstall the program but gives error messages indicating it can't find anything in the folder.  How do I get this program installed?

You appear to have a problem. To start trouble shooting it might be sensible to look in Console under the backupd process and see what messages were created by the second attempt to back up.
There are a few boiler plate checks: do you have a computer name in the sharing preference pane; is the Time Machine drive formatted Apple Extended (Journalled); do you have the correct Partition Map (GUID for Intel macs, APM for PPC)?

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • Interclue fails to initalise upon restart from either shut down or back out of hibernation. Works when re-installed, but then fails every time.

    Interclue fails to initialize upon restart from either shut down or back out of hibernation. Works when re-installed, but then fails every time. What would cause this situation. Never had problems with this add-on with Firefox until I downloaded Firefox 4.0. I can disable, re-start, enable,re-start, and it works fine. The same scenario holds true if I uninstall and then re-install add-on.

    Just a guess, but I wonder if you have some application or process hanging up that's stopping it from shutting down? You might try closing each application individually and see if this helps.
    Good luck!

  • I've read a lot of comments/suggestions about camera issues that it turns black when opening the phone camera but nothing is worked for me. I'm so frustrate on my iPhone 5s im using it like for a month, I thought its more better than Samsung but I failed.

    I've read a lot of comments/suggestions about camera issues that it turns black when opening the phone camera but nothing is worked for me. I'm so frustrate on my iPhone 5s im using it like for a month, I thought its more better than Samsung but I failed. Please help!!! I hope apple has something to do about this. Thanks.

    I would have had the phone looked at long before a month of problems.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. You phone is under warranty and someone at an Apple store can help you.

  • ITunes will not open and tells me to use the "information" to open in 32 bit rather than 64. but the information pane does not offer that option ...

    I am trying to open my iTune 10.4 on my mac mini which is running OS 10.6.8, and I get the message that I need to use the information pane to open in 32-bit rather than 64. But the information pane does not offer this option. I'm in a vicious circle of opening, getting this message, then having to close. Did this come about after the June update of iTunes? And if so, why haven't they fixed it? And what can I do? You'd think Apple would want be to be able to spend my money in their store ...

    Try following steps and test one at a time:
    1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
    2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

  • Made mistake and restored rather than synched, but got restore error.

    Help, my wife is going to kill me!
    I purchased two 3G's this morning and while attempting to sync one of the phones and move info from an old iPhone to the new, ran into a problem.
    My first operation went ok, (see my other post Transferring EVERYTHING from iPhone to 3G iPhone). I noticed items such as Notes and text messages did not transfer with the sync.
    So....when I went to do the same for my wife's phone I tried something different. (I recalled that when I locked my old iPhone and couldn't recall the password I had to restore it. Upon doing so I found that all my old text messages came back.) I had synced the phone for contacts, music etc but before disconnecting the 3G decided to restore.
    Bad Idea apparently. The restore stopped midstream and I received a message stating "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2005)." Strangely the iPhone was labeled "Julie's iPhone" at the Apple Store this morning rather than simply "iPhone" as the error message showed.
    All could do was click the OK button, at which point the display on the 3G showed an iTunes icon with a cable below it, apparently asking that I plug the phone into the computer to connect with iTunes. The phone already was connected. In addition the iPhone, called "Julie's iPhone" was no longer showing in iTunes.
    I've tried powering off the phone, restarting the computer and now the summary on the phone as simply "iPhone" and all other information such as serial number, size of phone etc as "n/a". A subsequent attempt to restore yielded the same error message.

    After talking to Apple Care it was determined the phone was stuck in recovery. A second attempt to restore worked.

  • I want to do a clean install, but how to use Time Machine to get my data back?

    I want to do to clean install of my Snow Leopard OS system...all my data is backed up on my TM. I heard if I restore from Time Machine any system errors created then will have an effect on the clean install? Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose? So how am I supposed to get around that?
    Any help would be appreciated, since it would be my first clean installed ever performed (I'm a bit scared, lol).

    would it be okay to delete the Time Machine back up then and use the external hard drive as a normal back up of all my stuff copied over to it by drag and drop?
    Leave the TM drive alone, it's a extra backup as you should have two separate hardware backups of your data at all times. Use another new drive for a copy of the files until your safely up on the fresh install, then erase and reset the TM drive to your new configuration.
    It didn't occur to me that TM would keep the system as it was...and I'm just now learning about TM. I'm glad I have decided to ask before I proceeded to install!!
    TM copies stuff over in a general manner, trying to keep what you have just like what you had, which unfortuntly if something goes wrong that isn't the best course of action because you don't want the old junk back on the new machine.
    So since it's incrediably difficult to cherry pick exactly what you want when restoring from TM, it's better to have the user files on a regular drive (no TM) when doing a fresh install.
    It's really not that hard restoring manually, just create the same named user and drag and drop the contents of the User file folders (music, pictures, documents, movies) right into the new folders on the new user.
    You do a fresh install in this manner.
    1: Backup files manually to a external drive, disconnect all drives.
    2: hold c boot off the 10.6 disk, erase the drive and reformat (wipes all contents)
    3: quit and install 10.6, reboot and go through setup, create the same named user as before
    4: Software update to 10.6.8
    5: install all programs from fresh sources
    6: last files cherry picked from backup (do not transfer Users/Library)
    In that spefic order for best performance.
    It's not excactly as perfect as TM restore, but then you don't get all the problems back.

  • "Install" rather than "Installed"

    Several already installed Apple apps (iPhoto, OS X Lion, FaceTime) appear in my purchases list under "Install" rather than under "Installed". I have noticed the problem (bug?) only recently when using OSX 10.7.3. Do I need to re-install?

    Hi Pink ...
    No, you do not need to reinstall anything.
    Perhaps the purchases were inadvertently hidden.

    You're not the first user to post that has noticed this problem. If the apps weren't hidden, it's more than likely a bug that will be restored soon.

  • AIR installed, but applications fail to detect it (linux, firefox3.5.6, fedora12)

    Hi,
    I just installed AIR 1.5.3 successfully, but every time I'm trying to install an AIR application from my firefox window the applications want to re-install AIR and fail. I tried the photoshop.com uploader, the Avatar movie demo, both doing the same thing. The installation appears to start, then a little window comes up saying to install this app you need to instal AIR, I say yes, then it appears to download something then fails with the message "a download error occured, try to download again?"
    I'd appreciate any help on this.
    Krisztian

    Sundeep,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes, I ran the AIR installer as root (sudo). It correctly installed the rpm. I see the files under /opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0.
    However after deleting the directories you mentioned I'm still having the same problem. The AIR applications are telling me I need to install AIR.
    How do they check if AIR is installed? Do i need to set anything within firefox for them to see that I have AIR?
    Regards,
    Krisztian

  • Dreamweaver CC 2014 still wants to open jpg, png, gif files with uninstalled Photoshop CC rather than installed Photoshop CC 2014

    Anyone know a fix. It seems that it wants to look for photoshop.exe and still wants to look for the uninstalled Photoshop CC folder.
    1. Yes, I have set the Preferences in Dreamweaver to point to Photoshop CC 2014 as the Primary.
    2. I'm on Windows 7.
    I also had to do this fix to get PSD, IND, AI and EPS files to open in their respective programs: Photoshop: CS6 not default program for jpg and/or jpeg in Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
