Question on installing Photoshop Elements 9 on my laptop

According to Adobe, the system requirements for installing Photoshop Elements 9 for Windows are:
Windows
1.6GHz or faster processor
Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 or 3, Windows Vista®, or Windows 7
1GB of RAM (2GB for HD video functions)
3GB of available hard-disk space (additional free space required during installation)
Color monitor with 16-bit color video card
1024x576 display resolution at 96dpi or less
Microsoft DirectX 9 compatible display driver
DVD-ROM drive
QuickTime 7 software (required if importing QuickTime formats)
Internet connection required for Internet-based services
I would like to know if my laptop covers the requirements for me to install it and have the software working flawlessly. I have an Inspiron E1705 laptop with an Intel Core duo processor T2250 @ 1.73GHz 1.73 GHz, 1GB of RAM, 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate operating system, ATI Mobility Radeon x1400 graphics, 17" color screen. All answers would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, PSE will run fine on the machine. The only thing to point out may be that your laptop is having 1 GB of RAM, so sometimes, you would have to be patient for Organizer and Editor to perform their functions while playing with PSE. 2 GB of RAM would have been great...
Bottom line: your laptop config looks fine to install and use PSE. For better performance, you may want to upgrade RAM, that will speed up your other activites on the laptop as well...

Installing photoshop elements 11 on laptop

Thanks Martin

A single user license allows for having activated installations on two machines. An Elements license allows for either platform in many cases (recently not the case from what I've seen). If you have the disc, see if it contains the Mac installation files... if it does then you should be able to install them via a download as well. I cannot answer with certainty for the last question since it relies on the previous question. Personally, I would not let an inexpensive piece of software dictate an expensive hardware purchase decision.

I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

There is no serial number for CC Cloud versions. They are authenticated via your Adobe ID.
Sign in to your Cloud account with your Adobe ID and download the software via the Cloud app.

Cannot install Photoshop Elements 10. [was:Question]

Cannot install Photoshop Elements 10 32-bit sources on 64-bit system

I was able to successfully install Photoshop Elements 10 on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system (new laptop) using the sources I had downloaded previously for a Windows 7 32-bit system (old laptop). However I was unable to to do the same for Photoshop Premier Elements. It suggested I needed a 64-bit version of the sources.
Questions:
- Where can I get the sources for the 64-bit version of Photoshop Elements 10?
- Can I download the above without purchasing the software all over again?
Thank you.

Download the free trial from the following link - it's the same as the full product.
Then enter your serial number to make it permanent.

How do I install Photoshop Elements 6 on the Mac-mini?

How do I install Photoshop Elements 6 on the Mac-mini? I keep getting the following message:
x Installation cannot continue until the following applications are closed:
flash_server
Please close the application(s) listed above and click "Try Again" to continue the installation. Click Cancel to exit Setup.
How can I resolve this problem without screwing anything up? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Your right. It won't make any sense to subscribe for a software that I don't own. I have CS5 on my Dell Laptop which has been giving me issues, so I re-installed the Operating System along with all my editing programs and nothing more. So I can toggle between the Mac and the PC to get the job done in the meantime. I will eventually get CS6 for the Mac.

When ever i try to install photoshop cc on my laptop i keep getting this error "We've encountered the following issues installer failed to initialize. Please download adobe support advisor to detect the problem."

start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
if cc (win): https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
if, your error is:
"Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
to find OOBE:
64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
if you're using a dvd to install:
copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
if you're using a mac:
1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
5. Start the installation again.
if everything applicable above fails, check your installation logs:

Installing Photoshop Elements 10 as an upgrade

I recenlty purchased Photoshop Elements 10 as an upgrade to an older version.It is plainly stated on the box that "you will need a licensed copy of any version of Adobe Photoshop Elements." Somewhere on the Internet I saw that it would be necessary to have your old registration number. The upgrade version is $20 cheaper than the new version.
When I installed the upgrade, nowhere did it ask for my old registration number.
So my first question is did I get the full version of Photoshop Elements 10?
My second question is why the difference in price between these two versions if an older registration number is not necessary to install the program?
Tech support was no hope with these questions.
Thank you.

Well, I think it strange that Adobe doesn’t care if I had a previous version. It sounds like a rip off to me, not for me but for the guy who pays the full price. . And tech support could have cared less.
And, yes, it works, but what a shock! Not at all user friendly like the previous version I have.
Thanks for your reply.

Why am I getting an invalid serial number response when trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 on my new Windows 8.1 PC. It worked perfectly well on old now defunct Windows Vista PC

i'm not able to install Photoshop Elements 10 on my new PC. I'm told the serial number is invalid. Why? It has 24 digits separated into 4 digits at a time by hyphens. Am I typing it wrongly?

i just had same issue. never installed on old pc which is a window 7 convert from xp. Now installing on laptop dell win 8, would not accept number. so i decided to install on the win 7 old pc (which has no firewall security because I'm dumping machine) and it worked. So I turned off firewall on win 8 machine and it worked. I had read that you should turn off the fire wall. Try that. Di

I'm trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 onto Windows XP sp 3. I'm getting error 1335

Hi,
I'm trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 onto a Windows XP sp3 PC. The installer is giving me an error with data13.cab
Have error checked the hard drive
Have defragged the hard drive
Have tried install from internal DVD drive
Have tried install from network copy of the install DVD (made from a different DVD drive)
Have tried install logged into Windows as a brand new user account.
Installer can't get Element_StarFrameCircle.psd, although windows seems happy enough with the cab file.
Have downloaded trial version from Adobe website but that wouldn't run either (exe file is corrupt, but this is mentioned as a possibility on the web site)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Stuart

Stuard_Hubbard I would recommend following the steps listed in Error 1311, 1335, or 2350 "Source file not found...data1.cab" when installing Adobe products | Windows. The error is indicating there is either a problem with your installation media or the Windows Installer Service installed on your computer. Please feel free to respond to this thread if you have any questions about the steps listed within the document.

Installing Photoshop Elements 3.0

I cannot install Photoshop Elements 3.0 on my Windows Vista Home Premium laptop? Can anyone give me any ideas on how to accomplish this task?

It's probably not possible. ancient software on a relatively new operating system, you know. the best you can hope for are the compatibility modes. Also ask on the PSE forum. Someone there may have experience in teh matter.

I had photoshop elements on my laptop but had to uninstall it how do i get it back for free?

You use your original install media. If you have PSE 11 you can download the trial and enter your serial number into that. For recent older versions, if you bought a download from adobe, if you go to the main page of adobe.com and click on My Adobe, you may still have a download link there. If your laptop came with PSE pre-installed, check your recovery partition to see if there's an installer there.

Installing Photoshop Elements 8 options

Hi
I have just installed Photoshop Elements 8 on my Mac Computer, However am not sure what the other options are e.g
Adobe Extension Manager CS4 and Supporting Components : "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS4" and "Adobe fonts all."
As I was unsure I only installed Photoshop Elements 8 .
Please advise the necessity to install the extra options? and whether if it ok to install these extra options now, that is, that there will not create problems doing the installing of the extra components separately from Photoshop Elements 8?
Hopefully this makes sense.
One extra question which has to do with my having uninstalled Photoshop CS4. When I now try and open a PDF files I receive an error message " Adobe Acrobat Could not install correctly. ( this relates to an update to Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional) A required component was not found. Please restore the Adobe Acrobat folder from your original CD.
Hopefully you can assist with this question.
Thank you
Sue

Yes the first part is correct, However, it seems that acrobat has disappeared with uninstalling Photoshop CS4. The issue is that I am now unable to open PDF files . Seems I need to to reinstall just acrobat and am I unsure how to do that ?
I first had inkling that Acrobat had gone missing after uninstalling Photoshop CS4.
A message came through that I could download a patch version 8.1.7 for Acrobat. This installation failed. Message received was
"Adobe Acrobat could not install correctly" - A required component was not found. Please restore the adobe Acrobat folder from your original CD .
Hope this helps
thanks
