  • I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again

    I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists."  It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

    If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
    the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
    would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
    for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
    the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
    system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
    that system.
    Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
    the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
    Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
    to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
    even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
    If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I am running 4.0.1 and when I download something the Download box stays blank-even though I have selected in General Preferences 'Show the downloads window when downloading a file' AND selected 'Save files to Downloads'....???

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

    Hi conor1221!
    You will probably want to download the newest version of iTunes (iTunes 11.1) directly from Apple and install it on your computer if you are having issues updating. The link for the download can be found here:
    Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

  • I have an old Airport Extreme that I want to password protect. I being told that Airport Utility 5.6 is needed to manage the base station. When I download it and try to install that utility I told that it is not compatible with OS X 10.7.4

    I have an old Airport Extreme that I want to password protect. I being told that Airport Utility 5.6 is needed to manage the base station. When I download it and try to install that utility I told that it is not compatible with OS X 10.7.4

    The odds are that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....which will only work with Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.
    Since your post indicates that you are using Lion 10.7.4, you need the correct utility for Lion. The link is below:

    When i downloaded itunes and try to launch the program it says a installed component is not installed. What does that mean?

    Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:

  • I want to download something and what do i do when i have no payment card

    i want to download something and its asking for a payment card but the app is free. when i download an app there is a review acount and maybe at the final step they are asking for a payment card which i don't have and i cannot skip the step. what do i do to download the app from a Macbook air 13 inches.

    Hey there,
    Thanks for the question. The following article may address your question:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
    If you want to select None and remove the payment information or credit card from your account, follow these steps.
    Using an existing iTunes Store or App Store account
    If you have an unpaid balance or payment due, you can't select None as your payment type. To see which order you need to pay for, view your purchase history. When you sign in to the store, you may see a message that there was a billing issue with your last order. Click the Billing Info button to see the order.
    After you pay for the order, you can change your payment information to None.
    Creating a new iTunes Store or App Store account
    When you create a new store account or sign in with an existing Apple ID (that you haven't used in the store), you must provide a payment method. If you want to remove the payment method after you create the account, you can change your payment information to None.
    If you want to create an account with a new Apple ID, follow these steps to create an account without a credit card.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • What if my daughter accidentally downloads something and it charges my credit card $99.00, i have deleted the app she installed can I get a refund?

    What if my daughter accidentally downloads something and it charges my credit card $99.00? Can I get a refund? I deleted the app!!

    Further to the other points, what you might want to do is
    - first, make sure your daughter does not know your password, and change it if you suspect she does;
    - second, turn off in-app purchases, and set your iPhone/iPad to require a password on every purchase. See this article:

  • Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

    Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop? It pops up every single day.

    Erica,
         I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
         I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it.  His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
         It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
         Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987. 
         I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
       For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
         Best.
         BPW

  • Photoshop elements 13 and premiere 13 purchased, downloaded and installed... but wont OPEN/LAUNCH.. HELLP!!?

    photoshop elements 13 and premiere 13 purchased, downloaded and installed... but wont OPEN/LAUNCH.. HELLP!!?

    Hello
    My "os" is windows 8.1
    When I clicked on the PHOTOSHOP 13 executable the photo editor popped up
    along with an install option.  Then I clicked install and then a update
    failed message popped up. (I've attached a screen shot photo of that) Then
    I clicked on error log and a "please quit and try again error code" message
    popped up. (I've also attached a screen shot photo of that as well) so
    after all that I closed everything and restarted my computer and clicked on
    the PHOTOSHOP 13 executable again and it went straight to the photo editor
    not the welcome screen (where I can choose either organizer or photo
    editor)... why isn't there a welcome screen like before?
    When I clicked on the executable for PREMIERE 13 there was two executable
    options.. one that was labeled (PREMIERE 13 exe) and another that was
    labeled just (PREMIERE exe) without the "13" so first I clicked on PREMIERE
    13 exe and it took me to the welcome screen so then I clicked on video
    editor the new project but nothing happened. ... the loading bar moves then
    stops.  So after that I closed it and went back to click the PREMIERE exe
    and it took me straight to the video editor, again no welcome screen (were
    i can choose either organizer or video editor) just like the  photoshop....
    so in the end I am able to click on the executable options for both
    photoshop 13 and premiere and it takes me straight to the editor but
    without the welcome screen...
    Clicking on the shortcut icons on my desk top still won't launch though....
    So does this mean it's working because clicking on the executable options
    takes me straight to the editor? Or is something still not right because
    the program won't open/launch when i click on the desktop shortcuts and
    welcome screen won't pop up when clicking on executable options?
    Thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it
