Need Help Downloading PE9 for Mac 10.6.8 (an older mac)

Question

Hi! I've had the HARDEST time trying to download PE9. I lost it after this mac got malware and I had to take it in to the Apple store. They said they had to wipe it clean and reinstall everything. They told me I would NOT lose any apps. But I did. Lost PE9.

I've talked to adobe support and different advisors walked me through downloading it 4 times. !! And it still didn't work! Maybe it's because I have this mac 10.6.8.

Whenever I'd try to open and install it I got this message that "Installer failed to initialize download." After the last advisor sent a link -- one that I was REALLY HOPING would work this time! It said the download was for Mac OSX. I don't have mac OSX.

So if anyone knows how to get the PE9 for mac 10.6.8 (once and for all!) I would be so grat

I can't believe it! I went back to the download I did yesterday (and tried and tried to open but it said "failed to initialize installing" over and over). It WORKED tonight!!! It's a mystery why it was giving me so much trouble yesterday!

Thank you for your help and suggestions!
Take care!Kristen

I assume PE9 means Photoshop Elements 9 (not Premiere Elements 9) since you originally posted in the Photoshop Elements forum.

Have you tried this link?

Download Photoshop Elements versions 9, 8, 7

It said the download was for Mac OSX. I don't have mac OSX.

Yes, you do. The X in OS X means 10.

You have OS X 10.6.8.

Photoshop Elements 9 runs on all versions of OS X from 10.5.8 through to 10.6. Should run OK on 10.6.8.
