Unable to use Elements 12 in Mavericks

I've just spent a useless couple hours on a chat with an Adobe chat person, after 50 minutes waiting on the phone for a support person who never came on. I recently purchased Elements 12 to replace Elements 9. I just updated to Mavericks and when I try to install Elements 12 it won't accept the Adobe password I reset on 10/10/13 (nor the previous one), even though it accepts it when I sign into the Adobe site.
I get Error 16 and I followed the instructions for that, in 2 parts. The first Get Info was exactly as required and the second one again asks for my password and refuses it. It says "Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
It says to UNinstall it first, but first it doesn't seem to be installed at all yet, and second the file that says Elements 12 uninstall is an Alias that points nowhere. I need to use Elements daily to process graphics for my web site, and don't know if I can go back to Elements 9 now.
I found an Adobe Elements 12_core file on my drive in a folder with 2 Install files. Should I try one of them? (I have an iMac 21.5")
Adobe invites users to schedule a call-back with them and then says that is not functioning at this time...

It says "Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
That is your OS X account password, nothing to do with your adobe ID. If you don't have a password on your account just click the OK button or whatever it is in that screen.

    Also be sure your serial number is a serial number and not a redemption code. The serial number is 24-digits beginning with 1057. If you have something else, it's probably a redemption code. See this for getting the actual number:

    Today while working on PS Elements 12 I was asked if I wanted to save my work. I said yes. After that I was unable to save my editing work on PSE 12. I use OS X Mavericks 10.9.3. Instead of saving my work I continue to get a "could not complete your request because of a program error. My work can't be saved. I tried downloading the Creative Cloud and tried both settings, save to the cloud and do not save to the cloud. Either way I cannot save my work and I am stuck. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Sorry, but I don't understand. PSE has nothing at all to do with creative cloud. If you're saying that you can't save work in any program, that's probably something wrong with your OS X installation. If you just are having a problem in PSE, the first thing to do is to go to the editor's preferences>general, click this button, and restart the editor:

  • Unable to use Organiser in both Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements

    I am unable to use Organizer in both Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements. An error message appears, "The catalog could not be opened. An internal program error occurred."
    I have tried to repair the catalog, starting a new catalog, and reinstalled both programs, but the error persists.
    I am using Elements and Premier Elements V12 on Windows 8.1.
    Any help to get me going again would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Colin

    Hello
    Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't make any difference.
    However, by trail and error I have found a 99% solution.
    Right Click the Elements icon on Desktop.
    Select Troubleshoot Compatibility.
    Select Troubleshoot Program
    Select a problem option (I used Other)
    Select Windows Version (Windows 8 for me)
    Select Test the Program
    If it works, which it did in my case, Save the settings.
    This seems to have resolved my problem, with the exception that I now get an extra screen when opening Elements to allow the program to make changes to my computer. I can live with that.
    When I get time I will check whether there are any Adobe or Windows updates that will make this step unnecessary.
    I hope this will help other people with the same problem.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Unable to use MSN Premium for the Share function within Elements 10

    I'm unable to use MSN Premium for the Share function within Elements 10 (it seems the program does not recognize MSN Premium for a valid email program for use within the Share function of Elements 10).  Is this something than can be resolved?

    No, unfortunately. You will have to either set up the adobe email or else just use the attachments button in the MSN premium instead of sending directly from PSE.

  • Since upgrading iTunes 10.5.1.42, I have been unable to use the "Advanced - Create iPad or Apple TV Version" to convert movies.

     I have been unable to use the "Advanced - Create iPad or Apple TV Version" to convert my movies for use with my iPad2. The movie will go through the conversion process, and is the correct length, but the video is a black and there is no sound? Has anyone found a similar problem? If so, what can I do to fix the problem? Before I used Handbrake to convert the videos which worked well, but now that is not working either .

    No, there is no direct download link. Those are days of the past, I'm afraid. You may need to reinstall Mavericks.

  • [SOLVED] Unable to use GUI applications on any WM I tried except TWM

    I'm using Arch Linux at my work despite it's very risky because something may go wrong pretty often (rolling distro, latest packages, DIY for newbs like me etc.). Unfortunately, this is one of those times...
    I was using Xmonad. It all started w/ Chromium crashing a lot. I had a discussion about it here, but nobody found a solution. Chromium just got frozen and I could only kill it manually. Then I switched to Google Chrome and it get a little better. Today it was so bad that I couldn't do my daily work, so I switched to Opera; then Firefox... the same! After that I discovered that it happens w/ any GUI application. Good thing I'm using terminals for almost anything else I do. Anyway, I need GUI browser! So I thought that it may be something related to Xmonad itself. That's why I installed Xfce4 and... ...the same - GUI crashes. It's even worse actually because Xfce4 has a lot more GUI elements than Xmonad.
    Now I'm writing from TWM and it has crashed only twice in two hours. What should I do? I really have no idea what could broke the things here. I really need help, guys!
    Ohh, back home I have PC w/ almost the same conf -- everything works. Driver problems?
    P.S. Title says "wrong focus" because sometimes application just freezes, sometimes it loses focus and I'm unable to use it... weird stuff.
    P.S.S. Changed title.

    So, as I understand it.... Haskell somehow conflicted w/ X11 when I did system upgrade.
    Quick solution was to:
    1. Remove Xmonad (xmonad, xmonad-contrib),
    2. Try to remove Haskell (ghc),
    3. Remove all needed packages that disallows to remove Haskell,
    4. Remove Haskell,
    5. Check that system still works (I tried to do things w/ TWM and system upgrade),
    6. Put on any WM (I'm now using Awesome, but you can try to reinstall Xmonad as well (just follow all logs and stuff)).
    Also, this fixed problem /w browser crashing.
    P.S. Maybe this is just temporary solution, but for last 30 mins everything works /w problems.

    I am unable to redownload OS X Mavericks on a Late 2013 new Macbook Pro 13". I get a message saying "We could not complete your purchase" " OS X Mavericks can not be installed on this computer"
    I nee an easy way to resolve this with Apple.

    why is it this problematic to resolve?! obviously there's a valid installer image for our macs, why can we not have access to it to use on our laptops?
    I do not understand, nor accept the explanation given before - about it being a newer model... it doesn't make sense... how does that translate to "no download available".
    also, if it was a valid point - we would have had that download with the release of 10.9.1 - which we don't.

  • Unable to use place command in photoshop

    I am unable to use the place command in photoshop cs5.5 since upgrading to mavericks. The window pops open briefly then shuts immediately. Photoshop hangs as it is still awaiting the action to complets. The same behavior exists when attempting to add attachments to emails. Any idea what may be causing this? This only began to occur after the upgrade to mavericks.

    If should work.  If I read  this correctly your last driver is a year old.  Visit ATI site and download latest.

  • Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content?  I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll.

    Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content?  I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll. I am able to use my mouse to scroll through internet searches.  It only seems to have affected my email messages.

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

    Our program calls some of our own C++ libraries. They have been built into our software and running for well over a year without any trouble.
    A few weeks back, we changed all of our library call nodes from “Run in UI thread” to “Run in any thread”. I have tried changing them all back to “Run in UI thread”. It doesn’t make any difference.
    Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated!

    I cannot say that it is related to LVOOP, but I have seen this in every LVOOP project I have worked on.  The only way to know would be to write the exact same program as a non-LVOOP version.
    However, I recall seeing this message soon after starting a new project and after creating the initial classes.  I think I sent the small / new project to NI for investigation.
    So...  to answer your question....  it kinda looks that way..
    However, the executables have been solid.  I have not had complaints from the clients about unusual crash at the end of their run.  The software runs tests that can last a week (or more).  There are 3 or 4 different clients have code that use LVOOP. 
    The error is not something that I have been able to reproduce...  It just happens.. Mostly when closing the project.  Occasionally when running the code or trying to run the code.  I should pay more attention to the behavior.
