Transferring adobe photoshop elements 8 onto a new mac, not working!

Trying to transfer my photoshop onto my new mac, from my old one
I have used a hard drive to transfer the application across, and when i try to open it Error: 6 appears
I have restarted my computer as it says and still its not working
How can I get it to work?
Student so can't really afford the new version!

You can never, never, never transfer an installed version of PSE. PSE is not a nice tidy package like most mac apps; the installer strews stuff all over your had drive and you can never hope to find all the bits. You must ALWAYS install PSE from scratch on a new machine.
By trying to do this you have made a lot more work for yourself. You will need to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
(I know it says CS, but PSE is based on the code for CS.) Then you can go around and manually remove all the bits you can find. In addition to the applications folder, check hard drive>library>application support, and your username>library preferences. To see the user library, click the go menu in the finder and hold down the option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. Since you have tried to run it, while you are in there go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything for PSE.
Then you can reinstall PSE. Be sure to repair permissions afterwards.

  • Adobe photoshop elements 13 trial version will not work on windows XP. Does this mean that if I purchase the full version, this also will not work on XP?

    I have Photoshop Elements 12 and want to try version 13 before I buy. However, when I tried to download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 13, I was informed that it isa not available on Windows XP. Does this mean that if I buy the full version, it will not work on Windows XP?

    Yes, if the system requirements do not include XP then an XP machine will not be able to use it.

  • Adobe photoshop elements 13 Watch folder is not working

        I am getting a "Watch Folder Service" warning box.
    "Please start the Adobe's Active File monitor service from Service manager (Control Panel -> Adminstration Tools -> Service)"
    Looks like the “Adobe Active file Monitor V13” is missing.
        I need help

    Have you checked your services panel to see what is running and what is not running?  If this particular service isn't running then you can right-click on the column for that service and change it to Automatic as shown in the picture attached here:
    The above picture is TAKEN IN Windows 7 so if you are on a Mac then it might look different from the picture I have posted here.

    Transferring does not work, you need to install using installation files. Downloadable versions can be found at the following linked pages...

  • Transfer from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on the Mac.

    I want to transfer from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on the Mac. My problem is I have lost my catalog and Windows XP.  I need help.
    I have installed the newest Mac version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 (PSE 12 Mac) and it seems to work fine but I have not been able to access my old (XP, PSE6) catalog file.
    I am working on a MacBook Air running OSX version 10.9.2.  I have been using Parallels Desktop 9 Switch-to-Mac-Edition™ to run Windows virtual machines.  I had been working for over a year running Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP virtual machine.  The XP operating system was updated to 2/28/14.
    When I installed Windows 8, the Parallels program initially offered me a choice of virtual machines, Window XP or Windows 8.  I could use the XP version to work with Photoshop Elements 6 as before and thought I could be leisurely about transferring my Photoshop operations to the Mac side.
    However, without my knowingly doing anything to dispose of Windows XP, I have “lost” Windows XP.  Perhaps it occurred when I updated to Windows 8.1.  At any rate, now I have access only to Windows 8.1. 
    To compound the problem the Time Machine backup program for the Mac was not backing up the XP virtual machine files as I had thought.   I have since corrected the settings but I do not have a copy of Windows XP nor of the Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog which I used in the past.
    Moreover, I do not have a workable Windows XP disk; the only one I could find is from Dell and it does not load on my MacBook Air.  I see Windows XP disks offered by Amazon for about $30 and have thought about buying a copy to help see if I could  accomplish the transfer of the catalog file to my Mac.  I would use XP only to accomplish this transfer.
    I am not completely confident that reinstalling Windows XP would actually enable me to do the transfer and I can foresee potential big problems. Therefore, before taking that step I thought that I would check with you to see if there is a way to find the catalog file and perhaps to modify it so that I could work in the Mac Environment.
    I have used Elements to improve and organize over a thousand travel and family photos taken with a pocket size digital camera.  Being a nonprofessional, I have edited mainly by cropping and using Quick Fix but have many hours invested.  Yes,  I still have the originals and probably could have redone much of that work with the time I have invested in trying to find the missing XP and catalog.
    I have found two large HDS files (Windows XP.hdd and Windows XP (2).hdd) that were created 7/15/12.  I suspect they may be important but am not sure what they are.   I read that HDS files are commonly Windows media digital rights management files, DRMs.   HDS files may also be used by hierarchical data systems.  Do the names suggest anything about Photoshop?
    Can you help me find the catalog and transfer it for use with the Mac Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

    If the code you are trying to enter has letters then you are not looking at a serial number.  A serial number only contains numbers - 6 sets of 4 numbers.

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements on an older Mac...just bought Mac Mini and migrated all my files...but 4.0 Does not work....can I upgrade PSE 4.0 to PSE 13?

    Yes, any version of PSE qualifies for upgrade pricing, but if you're in the US you might want to consider running the trial  for now and waiting for the black friday specials, when the full version will be a lot less than the adobe upgrade price.
