Bridge cs3 mac 2.1.1.9 will not append metadata

I've been using Bridge CS3 for a long time now on my iMac 2Ghz Core Duo (Tiger OS X 10.4.11) with 2 GB of RAM
I have been using the same metadata template for a year, and have updated to Bridge 2.1.1.9
Starting today, whenever I try to append metadata to a 1.6 Gb folder of images (Nikon D300 jpg's), I get the error message "There was a problem writing metadata to...."
I have held the option key at Bridge startup , purged the folder cache, and checked the "Use Software rendering" option in preferences
I have tried appending metadata to a smaller folder with the same results
I use Bridge every day to tag and keyword photos - please help me to get this working again

I split the files into 2 folders and tried to append metadata on a folder that contained 99 files totaling 568MB
That did not work
I removed the file that was first reported as "problem writing metadata..", purged the folder cache and tried again - the error occurred on the very next file numerically
The error always seems to start with the highest-numbered file in the folder
I have also tried replace metadata and that does not work
I have also tried to enter metadata manually and then apply it to all the images in a folder - that does not work either
Maybe this 2.1.1.9 update has broken metadata somehow?

after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back. i got some good info with a search or two. (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs, OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
from User /Preferences/Adobe:
com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
and from System Preferences:
the file: Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
and..
/.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
Debug Database.txt
Placeholder Preset.epr
PostEncodeCmds.pref
PresetCache.xml
Trace Database.txt
NOTE:
of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but... it seems to have worked.
I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering, so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
happy editing,
peace

Reh... Doesn't work on my 2012 Mac mini. A function key set in Sys Prefs worked in Leopard and Lion on my MB but I cannot get any key to work using SysPref Dictation & Speech. It is befuddling and now I have to go to Edit-Speech to turn on and turn off speech to selected text.
I have used Macs and Apple 2es since cave man days and Apple is becoming so befuddling I am wondering if there is even an advantage to it over Windows XP. I spent a lot on this little box, it looks good (the first one had to be exchanged as it wouldn't link to my keyboard ???) but Apple intuitive does no longer seem meaningful.
If speech to text no longer is accessible by short cuts using Fkeys, why bother to have it in Syst Prefs?
Apple is losing its way. The pleasure is gone and no one at Apple seems to care.

Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file.

Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file. The error message reads "cannot complete your request because of a program error" -- it is a very large file (I have been saving it all along) and I had just "flattened layers" and went to open up a new, blank photo file when it shut down. Is there anyway to get this file to open? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (p.s. after reading a couple of similar threads, I have a feeling it's hopeless. But I'd also like to know WHY this might have happened!) Thanks in advance!

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and for sharing the article--I did panic. Here are the details of my system:
Model: HP p7-1247c
Processor: AMD A8-3820 APU with Radeon HD Graphics
Installed Memory: 8 GB (7.48 usable)
System Type: 64-bit
Windows 7 Home Premium
I am using Photoshop CS3. It seems that I can work on photos and save them. But I am unable to open them back up. I have tried saving the files as psd and tiff with the same result. The error message is: "cannot complete your request because of a program error"
The interesting thing is that I can open up InDesign and "place" the psd file within InDesign (then export and save as a jpeg). So I don't think the files are necessarily corrupted. I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it last night, but there's no change.
If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Or, should I repost my question with this more complete info? Thank you!

Help! After interrupting an installation of a program downloaded from the internet on my mac in a reboot cycle will not start, I've already done the disk check and it's ok and I reinstalled the OS 10.8 Lion

After interrupting an installation of a program downloaded from the internet on my mac in a reboot cycle will not start, I've already done the disk check and it's ok and I reinstalled the OS 10.8 Lion

In this case, I think that there's something damaged that can't be fixed just reinstalling OS X.
If you don't want to lose files, you will have to create a second partition in the hard drive and install OS X there, so you will be able to recover everything you need. Then, you will have to erase the first partition and reinstall OS X. Follow these steps:
1. Hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
2. You can follow the steps of this site to create a second partition > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
3. After creating the second partition, close Disk Utility and install OS X on the second partition.
4. When the installation finishes, open Finder and, in the sidebar, you will see the other partition. Open it and recover the files you need.
5. After doing that, repeat the step 1.
6. Select “Macintosh HD” in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
7. Close Disk Utility and install OS X on the first partition.
After doing all of these steps (you will need a lot of time to do this), you can delete the second partition you created and add the size of this partition into the first one > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU4.html

My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer. What can I do?

My Mac G-4 OS X will not image an icon of the zip disk with I inserted into my computer's built-in Zip Drive, therefore I can not remove the zip disk from my computer. What can I do?

Thanks Old Comm Guy, BD Aquam and Texas Mac Man for youradvice and reply to my question
and problem with my Zip Drive. However:
    1. Depressing mouse buttonon start up did not eject the zip disk.
    2. To examine front of zipdrive, I had to remove many screws and several plastic case
         coverings. Upon doing thatI discovered that, unfortunately, there is no whole in front
          of mybuilt-in zip hardware drive for me to insert a paper clip to manually eject zipdisk.
      3. I went to the Utilities folder in myMac OS X Application folder, but I could not find
           theiomega zip drive in there.
Also, I did go into my "9" System folder and thento the Extensions folder within it and did find an icon of an
Iomega Driver. When double clicking on it a window came upstating I was opening the application
"ColorSync Extension" for thefirst time, and asking if I was sure I wanted to open this application.
Uponclicking open nothing happened - nothing opened.
I also went into the "System X" folder>Libraryfolder>Extension folder>IomegaSAM.ket icon and double
clicked on it and asmall window opened stating "Compiling file List", however nothingopened it just
continued to compile, so I closed it.
Within my Mac OS X HD> Applications>Iomega folder>Iomega Tools.app a smallwindow opened up
with several options (Erase, Protect, Disk Info and DriveInfo). Clicking on the Drive Info a message says:
"No Iomega Drives or noIomega Driver found. Therefore, Ihave gone to Mac, Iomega and other websites
trying to find a Driver for thebuilt-in Zip Drive in my Mac G-4 OS X 10.4.11, but have not really found anythat work.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A WEBSITE WHERE I CANDOWNLOAD A NEW DRIVER FOR MY ZIP DRIVE?

Some Nikon D300 NEF files don't appear in Bridge CS3 (Mac)

Hi all,
I'm using a Nikon D300 and just upgraded to CS3 on my MAC in no small part because the D300 was not supported by CS2. I am running into a problem though.
I always shoot in both JPEG and RAW modes. When I open Bridge I always see each JPEG version of a shot.
However, only about 50% of the time can I see the NEF (RAW) version of the thumbnail. The rest of the time I only see a generic "RAW" thumbnail with no image. This sporadic NEF viewability carries over to the preview pane when I select such a NEF file.
Furthermore, Camera Raw cannot open the NEF files that are not visible in Bridge. When I try opening them I get a message saying "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type."
I have tried purging the Cache (through Tools) as some indicated in other forums threads but this has not helped. I have also downloaded the ACR 4.4 plugin and installed it in the correct library location.
Has anyone else experienced this (whether on a Nikon or other camera)? Any advice?
Thanks

I've finally solved the problem with having only some of my NikonD300 NEF files viewable in Bridge/readable by Photoshop! Jon Michael Riley had said he was having similar problems so I wanted to make sure he and anyone else has the info on what worked for me.
The issue does not have anything to do with purging the thumbnail cache or installing the latest version of Camera RAW 4.4.1. While they were good suggestions (offered by Adobe's Technical support people also), they do not resolve this particular issue.
I read that an earlier version of what Jon described as "Nikon's clunky software" had corruption issues when images were first transfered from the camera via Nikon PictureProject Transfer. It looks like the latest incarnation has the same issues. Nikon products can see the transfered images without a problem. HOWEVER, Adobe Bridge/Photoshop cannot rectify the corruption issue caused by transferring photos using Nikon's utility.
So here's the solution: DO NOT use Nikon PictureProject Transfer! It is a piece of garbage! Instead, make ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER the default tool to transfer images from the camera. To make it default do the following:
Open Bridge, pull down the Bridge CS3 Preferences. Select the "General" preferences set. On this screen you will see "Behavior". The first clickable box reads "When a camera is connected launch Adobe Photo Downloader". Select this box to render this the default transfer tool.
If you still have the pictures on your memory cards you can re-transfer them using Adobe Photo Downloader. All your NEF files should now be readable by Bridge/Photoshop. I've told Adobe Tech Support about this problem with Nikon's software. Hopefully they'll be able to check this as an option if others call in with similar problems.
Unfortunately I have not figured out how to repair the corruption in the files I transfered earlier using Nikon's piece of garbage software. Since I don't have the images on memory cards anymore I can't just re-transfer them. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to do this? Will I ever be able to access my earlier NEF shots?
Cheers,
Greg
Thanks to everyone for trying to help resolve these issues.

My A. Illustrator CS3 (v. 13.0.0) will not update to any of the latest versions

For several weeks already, my Adobe Updater has been trying to update to the next version (13.0.1) and I kept getting the same message:
Message: Installing the patch....
An error occurred during installation. The update cannot be applied to the product. Please re-install the product and try again.
I re-install the program twice from the original DVD. Yesterday, I downloaded the newest upgrade 13.0.2, ran the upgrade and I am still getting the same message as above.
Should I download the newest free trial of A. Illustrator CS3 and then activated with my serial number? Will the free trial have all the bells and whistles? Does anybody have any suggestion as to what to do to get a clean update? Thank you.
Sal

OK ALL. Fair dinkum. It took me a while as well with updates to illustrator CS3 13.0.0 to 13.0.02. After reading through all the forums, there seemed to be no answer. BUT this is what I found to work for me!.
After reinstalling illustrator (creative suite standard) quite a few times, on my mac, and also another mac, and then updating on a new mac...again illustrator would not update!!!!
WHATEVER YOU DO DONT INSTALL THE FLASH LITE 3.0 update. When updating your program(s), that is creative suite, or whatever, photoshop, version cue, bridge, indesign etc etc... I found that if you check the preferences in the install process, DONT CLICK FLASH LITE 3.0.
S*it after that I managed to get all the programs to update with no problems.
Good luck everyone! Hope it works for you as it did for me.
Regards
Steve

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Power mac G5 turns on but will not boot up

Hello,
I have the last power mac G5 quad core made before apple switched over to intel. I have not used he computer in about 3 month and it worked fine when I put it into storage but when I tried to turn it on today it will not boot up.
There is constantly a yellow light on near to where the RAM snaps in even when the computer is off. (this is the 3rd light up from the bottom and the only on that is on at this point)
When I press the power button a red light turns on for about one second. Next to this light are the words LED806 Checkstop and it is offset to the right of the other lights a little bit when looking into the side panel of the computer. This light also lights up briefly when I press the power button to turn off the computer.
After pressing the power button another red light turns on just above the yellow light that is always on and the screen is still black. Then the screen eventually turns grey with the apple logo as it normally looks except some of the pixels are off colored a bit in square patterns across the screen. When this happens a green light turns on just below the yellow light. Now there are three lights on all at once.
Next the screen briefly turns light blue and then a little darker shade of blue and the computer will not boot up or go any further than this point.
Can anybody tell me what is going on here and is there any way to fix this?
Is there any way to reset or reboot the computer this the install disk?
Distortion on the startup screen (hard to see in this photo)

Hi Mike,
LED 1—CPU A: red—contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider
LED 2—Overtemp: red—contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider
LED 3—Power On: red—the main power is on
LED 4—Trickle: yellow—Power Mac G5 is plugged into the wall correctly
LED 5—Open Firmware good: green—no problem
LED 6—CPU B: red—contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider
LED 7—Checkstop: red—contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

I use an iMac 10.6.8 with iPhoto '09 to download digital images from Canon DSLRs. Until the last two weeks there has been no trouble whatever importing images by a USB connection from either camera to the Mac. Now the process will not kick in. Any ideas?

I use an Mac OSX 10.6.8 with iPhoto 09 to download digital images from two Canon DSLRs. Until the last week, there has been no problem whatever in launching the import procedure once the USB connection has been connected and the camera switched on. Now the process will not kick in at all for either camera. I can't find a solution through iPhoto help or from other sources.
Any ideas to fix? (I admit I have not tested the USB cable at this time).

What does "kick in" mean?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.
