Why won't Photoshop Elements 12 open?

After being away for 3 months, I attempted to open and use PSE 12 and it does not open. Today I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that would help, but it doesn't. It appears as though it's going to open, but the little "streaming" just stops. Your assistance in resolving this problem is greatly appreciated.

I am not a technician so I can't go too deep in the analysis... I did all I could imagine to do, I would like that somebody from Adobe would take care of this issue finding solution to the problem.

>Hoping that you get a break through in your troubleshooting. Do not give up. I kept searching and searching for an answer to my Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor not opening while the Elements Organizer 12 would. I have reams of data from October 2013 to April 2014 troubleshooting of the issue. Everything pointed to an activation issue but I could never target the place to fix until my break through came unexpectedly. And, as I found out, the SLStore Folder and SLCache Folder have "something" to do with activation according to the Adobe person who put forth what turned out to be the solution for me. Based on my encounter with this problem, I would say Windows No, Photoshop Elements activation Yes.

Why won't photoshop elements download for me

why won't photoshop elements download for me

clear your adobe.com cookies or
try a different browser or
download from prodesigntools.com if you follow all 7 steps: http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl
and activate with your serial.
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

Why won't Photoshop Elements 11 and Premier Elements 11 load ?

I just purchased Photoshop Elements 11 and Premier Elements 11. I have Windows 7pro, have the disc for Windows and have the serial numbers for both programs. When I put the disc in, I can't get past the welcome screen. Why?

is the install button clickable?
if not, are the other buttons clickable?

Why won't photoshop elements load?

I am having a problem loading Photoshop Elements 9.0. Everytime I click it, it's showing Error 6. Please help.

Hi,
I'm not sure that you will be able to reinstall your copy. You need a serial number and the installation file.
If you registered your copy with Adobe then you should be able to find your serial number in your account on the Adobe site.
If your computer came with elements already installed, then even if you could find the download on the Adobe site, it may not work with your serial number (if you can find it).
If your computer didn't come with any backup discs then you could try asking the shop where you bought it or the computer manufacturer if they can supply the installation disc and serial number.
If all else fails, you may have to buy a new copy. Your existing catalog should be able to be converted to the new versions and all your photos should be where you left them.
Sorry I can't be of much help.

Why won't photoshop elements 12 editor launch/open?

No matter how I try to activate PSE12, through the desktop shortcut, through program files, through old Photoshop works I've saved, it will not start.
I've tried reinstalling it, but it still won't launch.
What's strange to me is that Premier Elements, which I also have, works just fine. I can access the organizer through there, see old Photoshop works, but be unable to work on them because the editor won't load at all. No prompt on screen. No 404 ERROR or something like that, just a loading circle that goes away after a few seconds.
I have Windows 8 and a brand new computer. Why is this happening?

I have the exact same issue, but nothing on my computer changed! Abode chat support twice now has refused to help me. First time the guy cut me off; this time they told me to come here. Looks like you have the same problem with no answer. Not a good way to run a company!

Why won't Photoshop Elements open?

I have PSE 3.0 which used to work fine. Now I click on it and it won't open. The opening screen comes up and it says it is loading various files and then it just disappears. It does not show up in task manager. I have inserted the DVD and done a repair and when that didn't work I uninstalled and did a complete reinstall. Same problem. As far as I know my computer should have plenty of RAM and disk space and a high end video card. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I got the correction to PrE, thanks.
Now, when the splash screen comes up, there is a little line of text that shows the components that are loading. It goes by quickly, and is not that large to begin with. Can you see what the last component, that it tries to load is? I've found that using a video camera to shoot the splash screen helps, as you can pause the camera in playback to see just what that componet is. This might give you a clue.
If you have added any audio editing programs, it is likely that a VST from it is causing the hang. PrE will attempt to load all VST's (these will usually be .dll files), and can work with most. Others it cannot work with, and you'll usually get a message telling you that it cannot work with this one, the first time that PrE launches after one is installed. These do not affect PrE, but you will not be able to use that/those VST(s). Now, some do cause problems and at launch. These will crash PrE, or PrPro, and the only hint is that little line of text on the splash screen.
Another bit of trouble shooting that might yield clues as to what is crashing PrE will be the info in this ARTICLE.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why won't photoshop elements work on windows 7?

The editor will act like it's opening but when it does it ends up becoming unresponsive. I've tried repairing, I've tried re-installing.. nothing works. HELP!

Why won't Photoshop Elements 9 save my contact book?

In PS Elements 9, I have imported and manually entered email addresses into the contact book, but when I return to use them they are gone. AM I doing anything wrong or is there a fix for this?

I too have the same problem. It has been that way since
my first elements version 5.
MS outlook is selecteted in preferences and still when I inport MS outlook contacts and work through the phoney missing 1st mname and finally get 475 contacts entered, that import lasts oly as long as Orgainzer is in the share mode. The contacts are not being saved.
I cannot beleive that ADOBE has not fixed this problem. I an runnig Vista home premium on a dell studio with a lot of ram and much processor speed..

Why won't photoshop elements 12 launch?

I purchased this program last weekend and it simply will not launch. I have disabled my antivirus program and network printers with a reinstall. I have tried to install the trial version. I have renamed SLCache. Nothing works. It looks like this release is a complete dud for many people. Any help would be appreciated. I have already spent several hours on this problem, and I am almost at my wit's end.

Sadly no luck this end I still have a, “Expired Trial”
I think I deleted the temp files first, then tried creating a new Admin and logging in that way. But that failed.
Maybe the order is crucial Like:-
1 create New Administrator
2. Remove Temp files
3.Could that be the trigger to work.
Oh I also ran the cleaner tool
So you are a luck guy!
The thing is could you unistalll it and then reinstall it without these issues?

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fed up!

FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?

What is a raw file?
A raw file is the unprocessed light data that was captured by your camera sensor. The only settings on your camera that apply to this file are aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. This means that any settings you may have applied to the file, such as white balance, or black and white effects, have no effect. Because this sensor data is raw, it must be processed or baked into an actual image file, that's where the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plug-in comes in.
What is Adobe Camera Raw?
ACR interprets the raw data and makes image information out of it. But every camera has a unique sensor and thus has a unique form of raw file. Even though camera manufactures may use the same file extension each time (e.g. Nikon raw files are always .NEF), each camera model has a different way of storing information. Because of this, we must continually update ACR for new cameras. As we add new cameras to the list (over 300 now) we update our published list of supported cameras. Additionally, with the changes to ACR, newer releases will not always be compatible with older versions of Photoshop Elements.
So, will the my raw files work with Photoshop Elements?
So if you are wondering if your camera is supported by ACR or will work in Photoshop Elements, first check this list:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Once you know whether your camera is supported by ACR and by which version, check this list to see whether your version of Photoshop Elements supports that version of ACR or later:
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
If your version of Photoshop Elements should open raw files from your camera, make sure you have the latest version of ACR installed. Go to Help > Updates to install the latest ACR release.
You can also manually download and install ACR updates:
Macintosh
Windows
What if my camera is not compatible with my version of Photoshop Elements?
Supposing you have a camera that came out after the release of a newer version of Photoshop Elements, so that your version of Elements is no longer recieving updates, you have two basic options:
Purchase the latest version of Photoshop Elements that supports your camera.
Use the latest version of the free DNG Converter (for Macintosh or Windows)
You can convert your files to the universaly compatible DNG format (the files will work with any version of the Camera Raw plug-in). See In depth : Digital Negative (DNG) for more information.
Where are all of the tools and options that I've seen available in tutorial books and videos?
Photoshop Elements has fewer tools and options than it's parent Photoshop. These differences are documented here:
Adobe Camera Raw differences between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements

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 won't my Adobe Bridge open?

Why won't my Adobe Bridge Open? I keep getting an error message. I first installed the free trial of Illustrator CS 6, but a few days ago joined the creative cloud. I would just uninstall & reinstall Bridge, but its not in the list of apps to install. Since joining the cloud I have also installed photoshop & indesign. Doesn't Adobe have chat support? I used in when first signing up for Cloud. Now I can't find it.
Thanks!

Hi Trisher83,
Bridge gets installed along with other programs (like Illustrator or Photohop) so it might require uninstalling all CS6 products to be able to reinstall it.
I would uninstall all CS6 products and then reinstall one which includes Bridge from a new user account and test to see if you still get the error.

Why does adobe photoshop elements 6.0 not show up for a download choice of putting my photos into my computer, I'm on windows7. I'm sure it did when I first got my computer. Could it be that I have lots of other photo software that may be interfering?

If you open the Organizer and go to Edit>Preferences>Camera or Card Reader, do you have Auto Launch Adobe Photo Downloader on Device Connect checked?
Try checking that if you don't.
