I am heading to the apple store at 10 am to get my copy of leopard

I use PSE almost every day since photos are my hobby.

My plan based on what I have reading is to completely uninstall PSE from my macbook first, then run the snow leopard update, and once done re-install PSE

I hope this will work!

I'll let you know

Just came back from the Apple Store in Houston, TX

They had PSE installed and running OK in 3 macbooks.

I played with it for about 5 minutes in each machine and as far as I could see everything was working perfect

I got my copy and I am planning to install it this evening once I get home from work.

Let others know your experiences please, but so far the indicators after what I saw are great!

And...it's good to see that the original Wiki page that started the FUD (http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/) has been updated to show that all is OK. (Well, other than that restore from Time Machine which has nothing to do with SL)

Well, thank you all for your ultra rapid response. Confidence restored.

I am away to Greece where I hope there will be many photo opportunities. I will see what the situation is when I return.

This is an automatic response generated  by your recent e-mail, as I am away from my desk for a few days. I will   respond as necessary when I return. Thank you.

Well thanks for that - someone does care. I've started the process as I have had to download the demo to get to the unistall. The sad thing was that having bought the disc from Apple, I tried to enter the numbers on the first trial version I had... and a red cross appeared... which is why I then tried to install from the disc and got the payload issue flagged.

I will be doing what you have suggested - as per the references - and will then clean instal.

I crudely 'deinstalled' by deletion - which I know does not work but it might show the state of mind that one gets to when you have an upgrade from Apple that looses your printers, causes half your apps not to work and then won't let you tap in the licence numbers into a demo version of Adobe Elements.... and that is just the list so far.

There must be a better way!

THANK YOU and I will let you know whether the unistall route works or not....

I just installed PE 6 and it seems to be working - almost. I have two problems:

a) I can't get PE to recognize my Canon Lide30 scanner. I won't load the ScanGear plugin. Here's my System Info from PE:

ScanGear CS 7.0.1X  NO VERSION -  - from the file “/Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 6/Plug-Ins/ImportModules/ScanGear CS 7.0X”

b) When I tried updating PE by installing updates from the Adobe website, the installer shows an error when installing CS3 updates and  "Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 Update". It says the Updater is unable to locate the product to be updated!!!

I installed Rosetta when I tried running Quicken 5, so it should already be in play here.

As for installing PSE6, I installed a new copy onto my Mac, then ran "Help | Updates...." to see if what I had just installed had any updates and it did. I followed the on-screen directions and tried to install everything it said I should, but "Adobe Camera Raw 4.6" will not complete the installation process.

I agree and I've manually installed ACR 5.4 and turned of checking for updates on Camera Raw. I'm just trying to point out to Adobe that they

ve got a flaw in their automatic software update routine.

I have installed both Snow Leopard and the update 10.6.1 and Elements 6 continues to crash immediately when I try to open a file. if anyone has a solution, it would be much appreciated. Thanks

No, my problems began with 10.6. I installed 10.6 directly from my Snow

Leopard disk and PSE was a preexisting app on my Mac.

Did it work prior to the 10.6.1 update? How did you update to Snow Leopard?

Did you restore PSE from time machine?

>

Thanks but I may have found another solution. I updated my VMWare Fusion,

which I use to run XP on my Mac, to their new Snow Leopard 2.0.5 version,

and after installing that and rebooting it, both Photomatix Pro, which was

also crashing, and Elements 6 are now working - no crashes.

If the problem resurfaces I shall try your suggestion.

Go to your userame>library>preferences and delete:

>

com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 settings

Adobe Photoshop Elemetns 6 paths

Opera Preferences

>

Repair permissions and try again. If it still crashes go to

applications>PSE 6> plug-ins>import/export and delete the Adobe TWAIN driver

(if you have an Epson scanner it may stop working after you do this.)

V 6.0 works absolutely fine... I was waiting for V8.0 and usedV 6.0 every day with no problems over the month or so since I upgraded to SL, and before my copy of V8.0 came through. Don't worry, be happy! I did a standard upgrade on top of 10.5.11, and then on to 10.6.1 when it arrived, and no problems at any time. iMac 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/4M Ram

Elements 6.0 works well on my Macbook but crashes on my iMac, both with SL 10.6.1 installed. The same is true for other photo software such as Photomatix Pro.

I am not sure what you mean. I installed on both computers from my SL CD,

and later updated them to 10.6.1

2009/10/10 Barbara Brundage <forums@adobe.com>

I would say, then, the the problem is more likely to be something in your

system. How did you install SL?

>

I did an upgrade on my 10.5.8 from the SL CD. In the meanwhile I have

received an email from Apple forum suggesting I try creating an additional

Admin User account and try running Elements and Photomatix Pro from that

Account to ascertain whether the problem lie with the User Account or a

corruption of the system. I did this and both Elements and Photomatix ran

without crashing, but I have tried other solutions which worked for a while

then the crashes returned so I will continue using the new Account for a few

days to see that is indeed the problem.

Coming back to your question, I am an ex-PC user and relative newbie to Mac

and unfamiliar with doing an erase/install or using Time Machine so I was

reluctant to do that and risk losing data.

2009/10/10 Barbara Brundage <forums@adobe.com>

Did you do an upgrade in place or an erase install? Did you restore your

programs from a Time Machine backup?

>

No I did not repair permissions. As I said, I am new to Mac and was not

aware that I should do so but I did delete the plist files.

2009/10/10 Barbara Brundage <forums@adobe.com>

Did you repair pemissions after the install and delete the preference files

for both applications?

>

Thank you. I am away now for two days but I when I return I will do as you

suggest and let you know the result.

2009/10/10 Barbara Brundage <forums@adobe.com>

Go back to the preference files and for PSE delete also the Paths and

Settings folders, and the Opera preferences. To repair permissions go to

Applications>utilities>disk utility and click your hard drive in the list on

the left, then click Repair permissions. It takes a while.

Good morning

have you had the opportunity to try the new version 8.0?

If so, does it work fine with leopard?

is it worth upgrading and paying the extra 99$?

I would like to buy and download my new version today.

Your comments will be appreciated

thanks,

Gabriel

I ungraded to Snow Leopard on October 17th and Elements crashes almost every time I import a photo. In those rare instances when I can import a photo, in 90% of the cases, Photoshop Elements crashes when I try to save it. When is Adobe going to wake up and come out with an update? There doesn't seem to be a problem with Lightroom.
