Why won't my Photoshop Elements 11 install?

After entering the Serial # and my Adobe ID, I get to the Options tab on the installation. There is a grey checkmark next to Adobe Photoshop Element... which I can't click, I also can't click on All Components at the top, but, I can choose the Location: /Applications. When I click the Install Button, nothing happens.
I am on a Mac Mini 2.3 GHz Core i5 with 8 GB Memory running OS X 10.8.2 and 240 GB available on the HD

Hi,
1. Since PSE is the only application to install on this install options screen, the check-box would always come checked & a user can not uncheck it
2. All components comes as unchecked and greyed out since there are no optional STIs available for a user to check/uncheck, so, this is expected. Please do not worry about these two points.
3. Nothing happens on clicking on install - this is strange. After clicking on install, you should be shown a native/os dialogue, asking for your machine password, after which the installation would start. You might like to restart your system just to be sure that the machine hasn't gone into a bad state.
Then try installing once again please; you may just choose to install in trial (just for the time being) & choose to skip adobe id - all of it has no impact on the application installation as such but it is just to save your time while you try installing again.
Navigate to install options screen and click Install. Once the application is installed, you may please enter your serial key on its launch.
Incase, you still face issue, please share the following logs here & we shall troubleshoot the issue asap:
/tmp/amt3.log, oobelib.log
~/Library/Logs/PDApp.log
/Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/<Adobe*>.gz
I hope this information helps.
thanks.

  • Why won't my photoshop Elements 10 load?

    Why won't my photoshop elements 10 load?

    Hi Brian,
    Continuing this saga:
    What does it mean to uninstall & reinstall PSE 10?
    I did that, renaming SLStores not a fix, Disappointed (not shocked) at result:
    Editor still hangs on loading, just as before. But real mystery is that it lauches directly into Organizer. No welcome screen. This was setting I had changed in attempted fix, trying to maybe get to Editor via Organizer. Obviously not what program is supposed to do out-of-box, nor what it does on my xp laptop.
    Some file or files not deleted in uninstall were used at launch. It is not the setting or pref going straight to Org that is the problem. That was created as attempted solution.
    But this shows the persistence of mystery file(s) that ARE probably the cause. What & where are they?
    -- Is there a way to find the files used when launch attempted? Event viewer doesn't afaik.I know how to find "modified", but not same oc.
    -- Application Data & Local Application Data have Adobe folders, some specific to Elements. I should have deleted these in uninstall, have since deleted obvious ones. I may delete everyting Adobe.
    -- I would try install on my D drive but often programs wont work from there, and bad file on C might still get in the way. Any thoughts?
    Your persistence is welcome!
    Mike

  • Why won't my photoshop elements open?

    I used my photoshop elements the other day without any problem. But now it won't open. I try clicking on the icon & nothing happens. Any clue? Everything else on my computer is running fine so I really think it's an issue with the program. Mahalo!

    Hi,
    Which version of Photoshop Elements are you trying to use?
    Which operating system are you running on?

  • Why won't Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 register to my Adobe ID?

    I've tried to register the product to my account from within the program (going to Help > Register Product) but it still does not appear in my products and services on my account. This is an issue because I have lost the serial number and have switched laptops. I would like to get Elements 9 on my new computer. Please help.

    I don't understand your question so let me try to dissect it step by step:
    1) You have already got PSE8 on your machine but you don't have the serial number.  Is this correct?  If so, have you still got the DVDs for the product?  The serial number should be on the sleeve or the case of the DVD so you can search for it.
    2) You say you want to install PSE9 on a new laptop so I assume you have got the DVD and serial number for it.  Is this correct?  If so, what is the problem you are having when trying to install it?
    3) You haven't said what is your operating system so please reply with this info so that further help can be given.  As to getting the serial number from the old machine for PSE8, you can use Belarc Advisor tool for Windows and this can retrieve the serial number though I am not sure whether it will work for PSE8 because it is a very old program (about 4 years old) and Belarc may not be as sophisticated as it is today.  These tools gets developed almost daily and earlier versions were not so good.

  • Why won't the Photoshop Elements 9 icon on the desktop any longer launch the program?

    PE Elements 9 only opens and launches when I click on a photo. This seems to be something new. 

    Just delete the icon and go into the program files or program files(x86) if you have a 64-bit system, find the actual .exe/application file for the editor or the organizer and right-click it and choose to make a desktop shortcut, then use that to launch PSE in the future. The welcome screen got weird when photoshop.com was discontinued.

  • Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown

    Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown immediately.
    Repeat and crashes again. Help it won't start!

    Solved! Tried everything in the support documents and none of it worked. Massive frustration with Adobe Chat staff who know nothing and just kept telling me to look at the support documents over and over. They also gave me a contact number in Australia that has a recorde d message saying the product is not supported! What is that about?
    Finally Anand from Adobe tech support called me (from when I reopened the original support case that gave me the serial number).
    Just had to rename folder SLCache in c:\program files(x86) and reaccept the EULA and reactive. Now everything works fine. Way to hard.

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • Why is my adobe photoshop elements 12 not working. it says initializing and then it says there is an error and closes itself

    why is my adobe photoshop elements 12 not working. it says initializing then error and shuts itself down.

    Three things you can try:
    1. Clean the superdrive with a proprietory CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.
    2. Perform an SMC reset:

    3. Try the free DVD player VLC:

  • Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up

    Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up elements receive message “Some ot the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.” How do I correct this problem without disturbing application in main user account?

    Brooks lansing if you create a new Administrator account does the same issue occur?  If so then it is likely that there is a file permission failure and file permissions have been set for the existing Users instead of the groups they belong to.
    Have you removed and reinstalled Photoshop Elements 11?  This may reset the file permissions to the correct state to allow it to work under new accounts.

  • I have photoshop elements 11 installed on my desktop pc, I want to install it on my laptop as well, I read that it can be installed on two systems, but I get a message taht the redemption code has been used by another ID, please help

    I have photoshop elements 11 installed on my desktop pc, I want to install it on my laptop as well, I read that it can be installed on two systems, but I get a message taht the redemption code has been used by another ID, please help

    A redemption code can only be redeemed once.  It is used to acquire a serial number. The serial number is what you need to activate the installed software.  If you did not keep the serial number when you first installed, you might still be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the software.
