I have an old version of Photoshop Elements and a new MAC. It was previously installed on my PC which crashed. But the new MAC won't let me install this software - it tells me there is an error with the install.

    This will not work.  Photoshop Elements 4 requires a PowerPC processor to function.  If you are using Mac OS 10.8.2 you have an Intel processor installed on your computer.

    What is the exact error message which you receive?  Also what version of Photoshop Elements are you trying to install?  Finally what version of Mac OS are you using?

    OK... so this is an OLD version - it is 4.0 (2006). My MAC is running OS X Version 10.8.2. The installation begins and some of the files begin installing then it quits and the message reads: "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

    Thanks
