Adobe Bridge Photo Downloader Results without using Photo Downloader

I always used the Photo Downloader to download files, rename them and organize them into folders named by date.
I recently upgraded to a Network Attached Storage device that has a USB Port directly on the front of it and allows me to dump all my camera files straight onto the external hard drive. However, it does not rename them - so it uses the raw file names that the camera assigns them and doesn't organize them in any way.
This is really handy for me as I don't have to copy 16gb of photos across a wireless network when I want to clear out a memory card. However, I haven't found a way to organize the files after the fact.
Is there any way to have Adobe Bridge (or any other Mac software!) go through those files and move/rename them the same way that Photo Downloader always did directly from the camera? How?
Thanks!

If you are sure your files have the metadata, in other words you can place your memory card into a reader and the information is there,
next step, is a total Bridge Preferences reset
Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.

How can I send a photo through messaging without using photo stream?

Ever since I updated my phone I can't send a pic without photo streaming and not everyone has an iPhone so I can't send pics to everyone I want to/

Well, if you have iOS 6 on your iPhone 4, and click on a photo in your photo library, then click the "share" button in the lower left, you see these options:
Mail
Message
Photo Stream (OK, you don't want that one)
Twitter
Facebook
[4 other options not directly related to electronic sharing]
So I would say you have a plethora of options.

Please check the list yourself and co,mare the necessary CR version with the one your version of Photoshop utilizes.
If the version os higher than yours you can use the free DNG Converter – as to how to use it please read up on that.

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

My adobe bridge CS4 is not displaying fullscreen photos well?

being a photographer and graphic designer the quality of displaying photos are very important to me, so the problem is that my adobe bridge CS4 for mac when i display photos in full screen, their quality is very bad when it fit to screen, but when displaying it in original size which is larger than my screen's resolution "2560 x 1440 px" its quality is perfect! what can i do?!
i want them to be in high quality and sharp! :S
i have tried edit>>preference>>advanced then Enable generate monitor size preview.....but no change, still the preview SUX
note that i have 27 inc big screen with res. of 2560x1440 px.....which is sometimes a big problem for me :S

yeeeey, just resolved it
after going to edit>>preference>>advanced then Enable generate monitor size preview, i had to clear the cache then to regenerate the previews
in the preference, just go to cache, and click on the button "purge cache" to delete all the cache for previously saved previews.....and voila, done
thnx for those who read

Upgrade Without Using Photos?

If you upgrade to 10.10.3 and never open the new Photos software, is it possible to continue using iPhoto 9.6.1 just as before? This would give me time to continue reading the reviews/comments about Photos and get some of the other benefits of 10.10.3 like the supposed improvements in wifi.
Thanks

What I've read is that you can do this. The iPhoto library remains untouched. Once you use Photos and make changes, those do not carry back into iPhotos. But, as I understand it, iPhotos and your iPhoto library library remain intact and unaltered by Photos. iMore has many articles on using Photos and here is a review from The Verge.

Adobe Bridge 4 vs Iphoto 09 using referenced libraries

I've always used iphoto with referenced libraries, usually with no problem with an external HD with my imac. The reason: I don't want to consume my HD with hundreds of photos and video files and large photoshop files. Here's what I would like to do. I recently purchased Apple's new time capsule, and would like to do the following, store all these media files on the time capsule, with iphoto's library on my imac's HD and referencing those media files on the time capsule, wirelessly. My question is, would adobe bridge be a better way to view and track these media files rather than using iphoto? Any insight with either programs would be appreciated.
I do like using iphoto for creating web galleries with mobileme, and the occasional phonebook. In those instances, I usually copy over the files to my hd and copy them into iphoto so there are no corruption issues.
Oh, and the other reason to storing these files on the time capsule is so that my husband's pc laptop and my mac laptop (powerpc G5) would have access to these files too.

1. You know that's not a supported use for a Time Capsule, right?And folks who have tried storing items other than Back Ups on there have had permissions issues etc.
2. Running a Referenced Library is fraught with problems +should anything go wrong+. This is particularly the case where the Library and the files are stored on different volumes. If the path changes in any way you will need to resolve each alias individually. There is no need to have all the photos referenced if you want to store them on an external drive. You can easily run a Managed library from an external disk.
3. I'm not sure what, if anythign, Bridge would bring to the set up. It's a file browser and not a Photo Organiser. You might want to post on an Adobe forum for more on Bridge. The one thing I will tell you is that the "file management" capabilities of Bridge make it lethal to photos also managed by iPhoto.

Do I need photo stream if I use photo library beta

if I take a photo on my iPhone (on which photo library beta is enabled but photo stream is not), it is sent to my photo library beta in iCloud and mirrored to my iPad (which also has photo library beta enabled but not photo stream). So far, so good.
However, the photo does not get mirrored to my Windows 7 PC (which has photo library beta enabled but not photo stream). Why not?
My impression was that Photo Library meant that photo stream was unnecessary. Am I wrong?

still working on that. This is first time in over six months that stream on PC actually worked. I'm looking for a way to keep pics on PC while able to delete from devices.
Have you read this FAQ? iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
You have two wireless options -
stream the photos using My Photo Stream and copy them from the stream to a folder on your PC before you delete them from your mobile devices.
Store the photos in iCloud Photo Library Beta and use the "Optimise Storage" option in the settings (Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera,) to save space on your mobile devices, but do not delete the photos from the device. Then download the photos to your PC from the web interface at iCloud.com.
But the direct transfer using USB is usually quicker.

How can I get Adobe Bridge to show XMP metadata using Adobe Drive 4 CMIS Connector?

I have successfully connected to an Alfresco Enterprise Edition 4.1.0 repository, using the Adobe Drive 4, created a test folder and uploaded a jpeg file containing XMP metadata into it.
When I view the image's metadata (using Adobe Bridge), I observe that only part the standard file properties are displayed.
When I view a local copy of the image using the same, I see all fields of the standard file properties plus available metadata.
My question: what should I do in Adobe Bridge to be able to see all available XMP metadata?

How did you get through to customer service? They've changed the website and I can't even find phone numbers or a chat button any more.
Here's my story that I posted on discussion yesterday, but no one has replied:
I am screaming and pulling my hair out right now! The last six months with Adobe has been a nightmare.
Once again I am completely locked out of Creative Cloud and cannot use the apps even though my automatic monthly deduction for payment was just made a couple of days ago. Creative Cloud continues to reset itself to the trial version which runs out in 30 days and after that I am locked out once again.
Now it looks like it is harder to access support than before. Where are chat and the phone numbers now? This was a nightmare with countless hours spent on chat and the phone over the last six months, and now I don't even know how to access support in order to spend even more time that does not solve the problem. What am I to do?
I cannot use the product I have paid for!
Please help!

Trouble with Adobe Bridge CS5.5 for Mac Lion Photo downloader

Hi, I am having trouble with CS5.5 Bridge's photdownloader when I am trying to choose a folder location.
Im using Lion / Mac
When I try to choose say an external drive or another folder location it will freeze up and stay on "Choose" the button flashes on and off but when i try to click it it will not respond or select the desired file location
The photodownloader does not respond to any other commands..i have to force quit it..yes i have re-booted..re-started and problem remains..
The only way i can download photos is by choosing the first file option of the pictures file on my harddrive which is not want I wish to do..i have noticed that this started happening after the Raw update..was wondering if this is affecting Photodownloader..
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..thank you

Thank you, SG, for clarifying which OS's this will work with.
I agree with Jennie - the beauty of "get photos from camera" is that it takes 2 steps out of the workaround you mention above. Personally, I'm okay living with 6.4.1, as I have an older camera. I won't be happy if one of the push updates re-updates me to 6.5 though. I wouldn't want to redo the reinstallation of the new version. This method will not work for any of my clients or students though - they normally can't comfortably follow the technicality of downgrading, and some have newer cameras and would need the 6.5 version. (I don't believe in betas for my clients, and neither do they, for the most part)
I guess I should thank Adobe - some of my clients have needed tech support to perform the downgrade (SO many people aren't comfortable technically), and some of my clients needed to be retaught the workaround SG mentions. Adobe's flub has actually made me a little money - which I'd rather not have to make this way.
SG's workaround does work and makes sense - but for my clients with hundreds of images at a time, who have to rename items, add copyright info, & etc., this more than doubles their work-time for the start of their workflow. I hope Adobe gets that GM version out soon.
BTW - this issue supports an argument I've hadfor years regarding "PUSH" updates. I always tell my clients and students not to do them until they research the update. Because of what I do, I do have to install them personally, but I'm grateful I'm comfortable fixing things myself.

I have a new mac and my old mac had my photos on it how can I get my photos onto iPhoto without using a external drive or flash drive?

My dad put a new mac in and the old Mac had my photos on it, and I checked iPhoto after it the new computer was plugged in and there was no photos in it, and my dad said that they should be in there but they aren't, so is there a way to get my photos onto the new Mac without the old one and without an external or flash drive? Because a lot of my photos I don't have on my camera because the memory card was full and the pictures that I had already had been on the old mac....
Thanks!

Have your dad post de what happened - you need to be at least 13 o se these forums and we need to be able to understand what you are asking
the basic answer to moving photos is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward. but you say you do not have the old computer
Unless you have a backup or there is more information the answer is there s no way now

Welcome to Discussions, howvogue
If resetting your SMC ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411 ) does not help, try the following in the order below:
(1) If you "deleted" by dragging things to trash on your own, the first thing I suggest you try is to see if customer support or the documentation for the non-Apple Software you installed has an actual uninstaller or specific uninstall instructions. If it does, you may need to reinstall the software in order to allow the uninstaller to work properly. After you have carefully followed the uninstall instructions, restart your Mac, use Disk Utilities to repair permissions, and test to see if your problem is solved.
(2) If not, or if you can find NO help on how to properly uninstall the software that caused your problem, restore your Mac's hard disk from the backup that you made immediately before installing "hellokitty digi cam."
(3) If you do not already have such a backup, backup all your MacBook's (MB's) important info now, erase your MB's hard disk, and reinstall its OS and applications software. Then, restore your data from your backup.
The last option will be a lot of work, but it should get rid of your MB's cat allergy.
Please let us know how it goes and what works. We will watch for your status update.
