Why does Photoshop Elements not remove the old version after installing an upgrade?

When I install a new version of Photoshop Elements, it converts the old catalog but does not remove the old programs.  I just installed PS 11 over PS 10 and it did not remove it.  I have had the same problem with each upgrade.  I have to manually uninstall the old version.
Thanks.

It's good to have the software you paid for
Uninstalling the older version post an upgrade might be discomforting to many users, so...
Catalog conversion works fine irrespective of whether you uninstall or do not uninstall the older version since the catalog folders are not touched during uninstall.
Thanks

    I bought a new touch and tried to plug it into my pc. itunes said I need the 10.5 version with new ipod. I downloaded the latest version and when I try to install it to my pc it gives me the message that it can not remove the old version and contact tech support. Please help.

    A window pops up when I try to install that says the old version of itunes can not be removed contact tech support. Then another window pops up that says   the feature you ar trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select anyiTunesentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why does my computer not like the new version of FF V31.00?

    It started about a 7-10 days ago. I was alerted that a New Version of FF v31 was available to download. So I d/l
    installed it and blankety blank software would not properly. Sometimes it would load the FF Browser but any attempt to go between websites would take forever. Sometimes all I would get is a single tab showing and the
    windows 7 Aero icon would spin itself silly. I would try to put it in safe mode but the same results as above. Finally after losing several buckets of sweat I read that my Anti-Virus software could be blocking FF. I thought why would it stop blocking this version when it had allowed previous versions w/o problems. I go to software rules and change it from auto to allow. I re-installed the v31.00 and it worked........... for 3days.
    Today, It started acting up again. This time I would be reading a webpage and the mouse would not scroll or I would attempt to exit out a tab. No go. So I exit out of FF and tried to go back in. FF resorted back to my first experience. I went back to look if Norton 360 had changed the rules on me AGAIN. No everything was like it was before. I have now re-installed it 3 times today. Finally after re-installing for a 4th time I hit restart FF and everything is back to normal. I was under the impression when I hit restart I would lose all my profile settings(Bookmarks)/ But everything is back to normal..........for the time being. I have never had this much problems before. If it was a virus why would IE work like a champ but not FF.
    Anyway I pray A FF expert can lead me down the paths of righteouness sake.

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
    to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
    updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

  • Why does Photoshop Elements not see my CD/DVD drives?

    I have a CD/DVD drive and a Blu-Ray drive. Windows sees both and has no issues, but Elements does not show them for catalog backups nor even in the system information.

    Hi Matthew,
    I'm not familiar with the Daemon tools programme but the loss of the CD/DVD drive is a known problem when removing certain software from you notebook.
    The Microsoft Knowledge Base has several artocles about the problem and how to resolve it.
    Please check out the following link :-

  • Can not remove the old version of itunes.

    I am trying to install itunes7 , but about half way through the instalation it stops and asks me to locate "itunes.msi". I deleted all of my apple / ipod related files , but it still doesn't work. Help please.
    thanks

    I am trying to install itunes7 , but about half way through the instalation it stops and asks me to locate "itunes.msi".
    with that one, let's try the following procedure.
    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
    Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
    now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

    Since you have a Intel Mac, if you can upgrade to OSX 10.5.x then you may be able to use more current releases.

  • Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open a file in a lower resolution than I saved it in?

    Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open files in a lower resolution than I saved them?

    The only meaningful figures for 'resolution' with a digital image are the pixel dimensions. They are not changed by saving.
    The ppi (pixel per inch) information is not a property of the image, just like the dimensions of your prints : it's your choice when you want do display or print your images. The detail level of your image is dependent on the pixel size.

  • Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

    Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

    Check a printable area of your printer.
    Make a (grey) rectangle that is larger than the paper size. Print it,
    you'll get a message that some cropping will occur, that's okay. Then take a
    ruler and measure the dimensions of the rectangle printed on the paper or
    the white borders around the printed rectangle.

  • Does photoshop elements 13 have the pen tool and where is it?

    Does Photoshop Elements 13 have the pen tool and if so where is it?

    I don't understand what you mean about the white line, but many tools in PSE are actually groups of tools. The blur tool shares a slot with the sharpen tool and the Smudge tool. Click hold on the one that's visible for a popout menu, or keep tapping the R key till the blur tool comes into view.

  • Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) for CS5?

    Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) that could be supported in Photoshop CS5 or earlier?  Its like Adobe saying you want a Camera Raw for you Camera then buy CS6 which is insulting to your customers.

    Adobe's policy to to provide free updates (not upgrades) for currently shipping software, which means the current Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 7.x. Development on Photoshop CS5.x and Camera Raw 6.x stopped when Photoshop CS6 started shipping. While it may appear on the surface that's it's a ploy to force users to upgrade to the most recent version when getting a new camera, it's really a policy based on the technical issues of trying to provide backwards compatible software for application that are no longer being developed.
    Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and as such, it is dependent on the Photoshop SDK in which it loads...it's also dependent upon the system level APIs being used by the applications. Could Adobe keep upgrading old software? Yes, but it would be a technical nightmare.
    Your alternative is simply use the free DNG Converter if you want to use new cameras that weren't in existence when your old software was developed. Pretty simple really and it's not designed as insult to Adobe customers...it's actually an affirmative program to make sure current users are provided support.
    The problem of new camera support for old software is really a problem caused primarily by the camera companies spawning off new cameras whose file formats are undocumented and proprietary. If the camera makers adopted a standard file format that could be opened in standard applications (kinda like DNG) then tis problem would be mitigated. You really should place the lion's share of the problem at the feet of the camera companies...

  • I deinstalled photoshop elements 11 off my old computer and installing on my new computer but

    I deinstalled photoshop elements 11 off my old computer and installing on my new computer but it keeps sayig invalid serial number. I am using the same serial number I was given for the original installed and it worked fine.

    Hello shiv99,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have used Home Sharing to play the music from one computer on another, but now you would like to only use the new computer. It sounds as though you have set up the content to share between computers, but have not actually I’m ported the media from the old computer to the new one. I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to import you music from the old computer to the new one. After that process is complete, you can turn off Home Sharing if you would like and the content will be in the iTunes library on your new computer.

  • I recently updated by Photoshop Elements 10 to the latest version on my PC

    I recently updated by Photoshop Elements 10 to the latest version on my PC and some of the settings are different and I cannot find where to change them. When I connect my photo SD card or iphone to import photo's, in the past, I could copy from the device to a folder, go back to the device and copy the same photo's or group to another folder. Since the update, the photo/group is not accessible to copy a second time, this is inconvenient as at times I may copy a photo or group of photo's 2 or 3 times into different folders. Any suggestions?

    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained by Google.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.
