Welcome screen simply closes after clicking Photo Editor

And now after numerous click-banging attempts to open my previously working Photoshop Elements 13 trial version, I don't even get the welcome screen.
I downloaded the 30-day trial program yesterday, after a day's worth of download & install efforts, and I was able to successfully use the program last night.
I somewhat reluctantly closed Photoshop late last night after finishing working with some images, with a tiny little voice in my head saying it may not reopen again given the super crappy behavior of Adobe.
I didn't listen, and now I can't use the 30-day trial version anymore ... after one day.
I hate Adobe.  What a bunch of @#$%s.
Guess I'm doing something else today, and will save the ******** days of troubleshooting and wasted phone & sessions with Adobe for another day. Heaven forbid they demonstrate the courtesy and professionalism to provide functional trial software.

Fortunately I saved a psd file last night, and by double-clicking that file the program opened.
Too bad things don't work from the start menu.  I'll keep my psd "start" file on my desktop, never move it, cross my fingers, and offer nightly sacrifices to Mr. Narayen for the duration of this 30-day trial.
Eventually I expect I'll buy the program, and I can't wait to see all the ways in which that won't work.

  • Screen goes blank after clicking OK to welcome screen in shared review

    I have a client who cannot view a particular document.  The document is about 150MB and has shared review enabled over WebDAV and has been reader extended.  The client is using Windows 7 and Reader XI 11.0.05.  She can view other shared review & extended documents ont the website just fine.  Others that are using Win7 & the same exact version of reader can view the document just fine (even the others on her network).  So it just seems to be her computer.  When she views the document in IE, the background image comes up fine and she gets the shared review welcome screen.  When she clicks OK, the screen flickers and goes grey and seems to crash IE.  We've tried downloading the file, then opening reader from the desktop and clicking Open and selecting the file, but Reader either never opens or freezes.  We've also tried reinstalling reader and updating it, then rebooting the computer, but it doesn't seem to change anything.  Has anyone else experienced anything similar, or have any suggestions on where to look?

    Hi @rshetty ,
    Have you added a screen protector, a case or a cover for the phone? From the description it sounds as if something is blocking the proximity sensor on the phone. - Has it behaved like this since new?

  • Loader/DNG Converter won't close after loading photos into Bridge

    This is a very recent problem. Previously, after loading photos the loader would close, Bridge would open at the folder I created through the loader and that was it. Now after all shot are loaded, Bridge opens at the last folder I had open previously and the loader remains open. Clicking on the X box won't close it. I have to go into Task Manager to do this. I tried a full re-install to no avail. I've looked at preferences and don't see anything that helps.
    I haven't done anything other than what I noted above. I tried re-installing PhotoShop and Bridge and that didn't fix the problem. The only other thing that has happened since I noticed this problem was that Windows updates automatically installed. I'm on Windows XP Pro SP3. The problem is not a show stopper but it is annoying.
    Anybody have any ideas why this would happen and how to fix it?

    OK, I tried changing the Preference by opening Bridge with the Ctrl key held down but I wasn't presented with the popup noted.
    However -- D'OH! -- last night when I inserted my card into the reader and the dialog came up asking what I wanted to use to open I noticed that it was defaulting to Bridge CS3 (I still have some CS3 software on my machine). So I scrolled down, found Bridge CS4 and all is just fine. Thanks for the helps and tips. I do appreciate it. And I hope you can forgive my brain fart.

  • Why does the white welcome screen come up after I restore a backup.

    I am currently managing 60 iPads at a K-12 school through apple Configurator, since iOS 7.0.2, whenever I create a backup and then try to restore all the iPads to that backup at least 90% of them end up showing the white welcome screen and I have manually go through each one and go through the welcome screen. Any suggestions on why this is happening and how to eliminate this issue?

    Hi,
    I have been having this issue.  It only happened when the new IOS was deployed.  I manage 10 iPads at a public library and I learned a lot, though I am not really certain of any of this. I will share a little of what worked for me.
    1. My iPads have updated to the new IOS.
    2. When that happened, the backup of my bookmarks, etc. will not restore.
    3. I tried to set the IOS to never update, and Configurator would not restore.
    4. All those white screened iPads probably need to be re-set-up as their own user. like [email protected], [email protected], etc.  They need their own password, etc. I say "probably" because I keep trying to share the same username even though I know I'll never be able to install VPP apps for them like that and plan to re-assign apple IDs to each. 
    5. Today I get Error code 4 on my Configurator and the backup will not work, so my bookmarks are "flushed" and I don't know how I'll restore them.  I may submit and create apple IDs for each one today.
    6. It was possible at one point to go through the setup screens on one, decline to set up "Find my iPhone" and then make a backup of it.  Restore the new backup to all iPads, then re-set them up as their own machines, save a backup for each individual one, then setup Find my iPhone. THEN, re-save a new backup of each individual one.  That worked for me really great until yesterday when I get this Error Code 4.
    7. I really liked having them all share an apple ID because when I log into iCloud.com, I can see all iPads on one map.
    I may check in with my result since it seems there is no reall official support for Error Code 4 yet.

  • Premiere Elements 8 Editor closes after clicking OK on "Full Content" message

    I downloaded the 30 day trial of Adobe's Premiere Elements 8 and installed it on a Dell Optiplex GX620.  It installed and opens certain modules fine (like the Organizer, for example).  However, when starting a New Video Project (File -> New) or by clicking on New Project, it loads the module and then I receive a prompt asking to install the Full Content from the DVD/Setup.exe.  If you click OK, it closes the Editor. I ended up downloading the Full Content, and installed it as well on the same computer.  I tried it again and it failed like before.
    Note: I installed PE8 on a different machine (Dell Latitude D600) and the PE8 Editor is launching.  I even received the same "Full Content" message, but after I clicked OK, the Editor stayed open and I could continue to use it.
    So, it seems to be isolated to just that Dell Optiplex GX620.  I tried searching around the user forums for troubleshooting tips and I tried some (http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#Delete_the_Edi tors_preferences; http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremiereElements/8.0/Win/Using/WS96256bd4ae515969-97 c9190120d9c53f61-7fe8.html; http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406662.html; etc.), however I couldn't fix the issue.
    Any assistance would be great.
    Thank you.
    P.S. - I unfortunately posted this discussion previously on the Photoshop Elements 8 forum, so hopefully someone can delete that.

    The answer was QuickTime.  I changed version down to 7.3.1 which I got on www.oldapps.com and I am finally able to use Premiere Elements 8.
    Glad that you got it sorted out.
    It now seems that Apple has had two recent series of QT upgrades, that just kill certain Adobe applications, the 7.4.x and the 7.6.x. Not sure what the deal is, or why the QT upgrades are not tested with Adobe products, but it seems that both NLE's, PrPro and PrE, plus AfterEffects can be adversely affected. Some have put forth a conspiricy theory that Apple wants to kill use of PrPro on the Mac, so Mac-users will go with some form of Final Cut. However, this does not play with me, as AfterEffects seems to be affected and there is just no competition (from Apple, or others) to replace it. It is used on many, many Mac machines. I think that Apple is trying to improve QT, and is just not testing their updates on machines with enough software, especially from Adobe.
    Still, with the ability to roll-back QT, the user does have a workaround. Personally, I hold off upgrading QT, until enough Adobe-users report that all is stable.
    Good luck to all,

  • Microsoft Lync closes after click on "Send Location" button on Apple's devices

    Hello,
    I found a problem using Microsoft Lync client on Apple's devices running iOS 5.1.
    I tested on an iPhone 3GS, 4S and New iPad.
    All of them running iOS 5.1.
    When I tested on a devide running iOS 5.0.1 this feature works fine.
    I don´t think that it´s a Microsoft Lync issue because it works on iOS 5.0.1, but how to solve that question once Apple has launched a new version of its iOS?
    I think that Microsoft should investigate what is happening with this version of iOS and maybe launch a new Microsoft Lync.
    All of the devices that I´ve tested where in Brazilian Portuguese.
    Anybody could check if this issue happens with all of the Apple devices running the new version of the iOS?
    If somebody already had the same issue, please tell me.
    Thank you very much,

    This problem has been taken care in Lync latest model.. lync 2013 & iOS 8.1.2

  • Premiere 8.0 Welcome Screen will load the editor, but will not open a project...

    Hi all, this is a small issue but annoying to me... After the welcome screen comes up, I click on "Open Project" and then on a name of my project I would like to work with. After a few seconds, the welcome screen loads the project editor, but the screen stays green, no matter how long I wait, and the projcet I selected does not open. Then I have to go to Files->Open Project and load the project again. Shouldn't the project load automatically if I selected this option from a welcome screeen? I have the 8.0.1 update installed...

    Thanks for you post Steve, you're right. But even if I select a specific project name
    from the Open drop down menu, it still opens a blank screen. Can live with that, but they should fix
    it... The same thing happens when you click on "New Project" in Welcoem Screen: blank screen opens and then you have to go to File -> New project. But if the editor is already open, the problem does not exist, it will do the right thing right away (i.e. open a project or start a new one from the Welcome Screen command)...

  • Crashes on Welcome screen when I click Organizer

    I have Photoshop 11, running it on Windows 7.  It has worked for about 18 months, but now system crashes on the welcome screen every time I click on the Organizer button

    If that has worked before, the problem is probably with your catalog.
    Hold the shift key pressed before launching the organizer. Select your catalog and try a repair, then optimize.
    You can also try to create a new (empty) catalog from that dialog and see if the organizer opens normally.

  • Prevent Find and Replace from closing after clicking "Replace All"

    With the latest release of Dreamweaver CC (2014.1.1), there's been a minor change to the way Find and Replace works. I use Find and Replace a lot to clean up and delete code, so I might do many searches in a row to get things tidy. With the new version however, the Find and Replace window always closes after clicking "Replace All", which is very cumbersome. I need to open it up again, and it doesn't remember the text I entered to use as a replacement.
    Does anyone know if there's a way to prevent this window from closing after doing a Replace All? The previous version of Dreamweaver would keep it open and remember the text either until I changed it or I closed Find and Replace myself.
    Any pointers that would get me a little closer to the previous version's functionality would be appreciated!

    You need to do a find/change for each code individually, but it should be scriptable to take the .csv file and use it to load the find and change values. I'd try asking this over in the scripting forum: InDesign Scripting
