I purchased "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 & Adobe Premiere Elements 12" in 2013 for my Windows based Notebook computer, Then, in 2017 I purchased a iMac, I decided to install this Photoshop elements & premiere elements on my Mac today and it won't install, it says "Install.app” needs to be updated"and I need to contact the developer.

Would you have a solution for that.

>I have other older programs that updated automatically

 

Programs do not update automatically, the author must rewrite the program to make it work on new operating systems

 

Once upon a time I had Windows XP and Microsoft Office 97 - both the same company, not as here where Adobe and Apple are different companies

 

When Micorsoft came out with Windows 7 on the new computer I bought my perfectly good Office 97 would not work... it would not even install... so I had to buy a new version of Office

 

Microsoft COULD have updated Office 97 but the only response I got was keep WinXP to use that old version

 

Adobe also does not go back and update old programs when Apple changes their operating system

1st, you may not install a Windows program on a Mac

 

2nd, even if you have the Mac version it is too old to install on a newer Mac

 

You need to buy the current version... buy the disc at Amazon so you have both versions

I do have both Versions, but, you say it is too old, meaning if I buy the
newer version and in a few years decide to buy a new Mac, the current
version will be too old and I will have to buy the current version again?
Is this what you mean???

This is not a good solution, again the consumer has to pay to fix the
corporations problems.
I have other older programs that updated automatically to install
themselves and they work very well, but, they are not ADOBE, go figure.

Not a happy consumer

"This is not a good solution, again the consumer has to pay to fix the corporations problems."

It's not a problem for the corporations. This is their plan and Adobe are delighted that Apple break their old apps of course. So, YES, every time you upgrade MacOS or get a new Mac you need a budget for all new apps. It's part of the Joy Of Mac.
