Bridge CS5 Photo Downloader will not rename files

I choose Custom Name + Shot Date but Photo Downloader ignores this
and transfers files as MG+4 numbers. I can't even get a sequencial number even though I choose one
Before in CS4 I used this option with success.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Dave Harman

Are you using a card reader for file transfer?
If not buy  one as it provides better transfer operation than from camera.

  • Bridge CS6 Photo downloader freezes on .mov files

    Bridge CS 6 photo downloader freezes on .mov files from a T4i.  To get the video files I've had to use Bridge CS5 photo downloader.
    I have PS CS5, PrPro & AE CS6 if this makes a difference.  Photos are no problem downloading.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    I shoot both.  I use Bridge & ACR CS6 to view and edit Raw files.  CS5 doesn't recognise the Raw files (had to convert to dng before I got Bridge CS6).   CS6 will download both Raw & Jpeg files.  It hangs up on the .mov files.
    I use a card reader on my Epson printer.  I've cleared the cache in Bridge. How do I resfresh the prefs in Bridge?
    My OS:
    Intel i7 3770, Windows 7 Pro w/SP1, 64 bit, Intel 520 Series SSD, 32G RAM, 2 – 2T RAID, (1T external), GTX 550 Ti graphics
    Thanks for your help.

  • Easy-Photo software will not save file!

    Help! I have been using Canon Easy-Photo software for several years now, but in the last few months it has developed a problem where it will no longer save my files. When I finish and print a DVD, then SAVE, it comes back with the error "Failed to Save the File."
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times, but this does not solve the problem. I just today installed it again (after uninstalling), this time from the disc that came with my new MG7120. Same problem! I went online and downloaded what should be the latest version (4.5) and installed that one - still won't save.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OOOOOhhhhhh! The problem must have arisen around the time I updated to WIN 8.1 - not that the program has problems in 8.1, but because I finally got around to changing my normal user profile into a non-admin type profile. If I run the software as an administrator, I can save files. 
    Well, maybe the problem will happen to someone else and this will help them!

  • Illustrator CS5 trial--download will not open

    After a complete download and extraction period, the message "illegal seek" appears on my Mac when I attempt to open.

    I did find a thread on the Apple discussion forums at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3112605?start=0&tstart=0 which seems to indicate the download could be corrupted.  I would recommend deleting the currently downloaded file and then try downloading again.  If you continue to have difficulties you may want to try using an alternate Internet connection.

  • I need to download a copy of CS5. Mine will not load.

    I purchased CS5 two years ago through download. I burned a copy of it in case I ever needed to reinstall. We got a new computer today, and when I went to install my Photoshop on it, the installer gets to the installation point and asks me to insert the CS5 disc.... so I don't know what I did wrong when I burned my copy... but I have no way of installing my CS5 on my computer. I have my serial number and know the date I registered it (I can see that online).
    Is there anywhere I can download a copy of CS5?

    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Mp3 will not rename - reverts back to original file name. Any suggestions?

    I have a bunch of mp3 files that I would like to rename the original file name. Itunes only allows me to change metadata, but to fix broken names and keep organized, I need to change the file name.  Once I rename the file, it shows the new name, and then upon playing it, it reverts back to the original name. I do not have any locked permissions. I have parallels and tried to rename them on the windows 7 side but same effect.  I tried to shut all programs off so the file was not in use. I even tried to export it as a acc file type.  I am exhausted looking for a solution, this is why I am using this forum as a last ditch effort. Please help.

    As far as I am aware, iTunes does not rename files (at least nto my older version I use).  Yes, it will insist upon the files being in certain folders which is structured from the metadata, but the files themselves keeep whatever name you use.
    I suggest this be moved to an iTunes forum (you choose for Mac or for Windows).  I have never seen anybody else complain about this in the past.
    One question, do you subscribe to Match?  Is there anything else using these files, some third party software?

  • Lightroom 6 Develope Module will not load files, can't see photos.

    Lightroom Develop Module will not show files. I can see photos in library, film strip. I'm fully paid member of adobe cloud and registered. I've signed out and in again but this did not resolve the issue. The problem happened after moving from lightroom 5.7 to 6. All worked OK in 5.7, using canon 5D mark 2 CR2 files version 2.2. I have photoshop 2015 CC and when I go to camera raw ( version 9 ) The photos do not show here as well. Both are blue boxes with an X across the page just like in the Develop Module in Lightroom 6. Again files could be seen in ACR photoshop 2014. As am using the latest updates of lightroom and photoshop creative Cloud, not sure why I can't see files in the develop module in lightroom and in camera raw in photoshop ?
    By Michael.

    I'm no expert on GPUs and graphics cards, so I suggest you read this thread:
    GPU notes for Lightroom CC (2015)
    My impression. though, is that most people don't experience a huge speed improvement using the GPU, myself included.
    But this will probably change in future versions, at the moment only certain functions in the Develop module use the GPU.
    As for differences in GPU support between Photosop and LR, I assume that PS supports older and less powerful GPUs than Lightroom does.
    Edit: But the bottom line is that LR doesn't support GPU acceleration with you graphics card, so leave it off.

  • Neither Lightroom 5 nor 6 (just downloaded) will import SRW files.  Complains about an "unsupported color mode."  JPEGs come in fine, but not these RAW files.  Help!

    Neither Lightroom 5 nor 6 (just downloaded) will import SRW files.  Complains about an "unsupported color mode."  JPEGs come in fine, but not these RAW files.  How do I process these images?  What do I need to change on my camera?

    Here's what I've found so far:  Lightroom 6 will support my camera, Samsung NX500, if using "Camera Raw plug-in version 9.0".  Reference is Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras.  The Camera Raw 9.0 file is found at Camera Raw plug-in installer.  Haven't got it to work yet, but hopeful...

  • Photo Downloader does not detect Thunderbolt connection. Help!

    I am using Bridge CS5.1 on MacBook OSX 10.8.3. I bought a Seagate Thunderbolt Adapter which works with 2.5" eSATA hard drives (Seagate Backup Plus). Instead of connecting a 2.5" eSATA to this Thunderbolt Adapter to my Mac, I am doubling this thunderbolt connection as a CF card reader by swapping the eSATA portable drive with a CF to eSATA Adapter instead. Photo Downloader does not detect anything connected through thunderbolt!?
    When the CF card or portable drive is connected via the TB adapter, it appears in Bridge and Finder. The Canon's Image Browser (Memory Card Utility) detects only the CF card (not the portable drive) as a Camera and downloads the images from the CF card via the thunderbolt adapter with no issues. I would prefer Bridge to download the images due how the folder names are created by Bridge. (I have been using Bridge for few years now and dont want to change the naming convention. Can't seem to find a way for Canon to name it exactly the same as Bridge. It does YYYY_MM_DD amd I cant get rid of the underscores in Canon's software)
    How can I get Photo Downloader (File: Get Photos from Camera...) on Bridge CS5.1 to detect the Thunderbolt connection as a Camera?
    Excuse my messy desk, here's a pic of the set up with the CF card plugged into the CF to eSATA adapter : and onto the Seagate TB Adapter. and the TB cable goes into the Mac

    It works perfectly well. My issue is getting Adobe Bridge 5.1 to recognise the CF card via thunderbolt in photo downloader.
    Despite having bought a MacPro just a few months ago I still have no Thunderbolt connection so i can't confirm this.
    I do know Photodownloader has not changed a bit since it was presented long time ago and definitively needs a lot of improvement.
    It is very possible that Photodownloader is not capable detecting thunderbolt connections and Canon software doing so does almost proof APDL does not do so.
    You can try to dive in the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go and press option to reveal it) and in the folder preferences find and delete the Photodownloader plist file manual.
    restart photodownloader and try again.
    The other option is to use a USB 3.0 or Firewire (both also pretty fast).
    The third option is to use Bridge itself for renaming the files you imported manual. Using the sort order creation date and batch rename use the option for shot date (yymmdd-number or other info) and either organize with stacks or create folders.
    There is also a nice app (not free but cheap called 'big mean folder machine" from the same team that offers 'A better finder rename'.
    Both offer plenty of options that makes life easier, such as producing folders with specific naming and order in no time

  • Bridge CS4 Photo Downloader issue

    If I use Bridge CS4 photo downloader to retrieve images from a CF card, the download appears successful. Bridge and photoshop can process all files without problem from the download directory.
    Subsequently, if I use Digital Photo Professional (Canon's provided image browser - known as DPP) to view the download directory, DPP will crash with a "DPPViewer.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close ..." fatal error window.
    If I subsequently delete the first file from the download directory, DPP will successfully operate without crashing.
    I have performed this test multiple times and it is "reasonably consistent".
    If I use PhotoMechanic to download the images (Rather than Photo Downloader), DPP will never have an issue reading all files.
    If I change Photo Downloader options to uncheck "Preserve Current File Name in XMP" and "Apply Metadata" to NONE, files can be imported by Photo Downloader and read properly by DPP.
    My interpretation of this is that Digital Photo Downloader may have a problem properly downloading the first file from the CF card (hummm. a boundary condition :-) this may be associated with metadata.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    Seems like I have seen posts where the autoload does not work correctly when you plug in a usb device  with 64 bit systems.  This is Windows Os thing.  Might google this to check for solutions.

  • IPhone 4 OS crashes Adobe Bridge's Photo Downloader and Nikon Transfer

    Ever since I updated my old iPhone 3G to the new OS4, it crashed Adobe Bridge's Photo Downloader, and I don't like to use iPhoto, so I won't. I haven't for years. I just bought the iPhone 4 fully expecting that the non-Apple photo utilities would get pictures off the camera, but no dice. The iPhone 4 crashes dobe Bridge's Photo Downloader too. I HATE using iPhoto for offloading. I wonder when Apple will deal with this.

    2 days ago I had my iPhone G3S with OS 4.02 attached by usb cord to load on songs from iTunes which was open. I opened up Bridge to offload photos from the iPhone. My computer froze and I had to force quit it with the off/start button. Since then even though I have completely uninstalled and then reinstalled the Adobe CS4 suite, Bridge still refuses to open and crashes every time. I reported the problem to Apple. I think this problem is not isolated and a bit more serious than first thought.
    I hate the idea of reinstalling every thing and still not solving the problem.

  • IPhoto 9.2 photo descriptions will not write - after a few letters words self erase!

    iPhoto 9.2 photo descriptions will not write - after a few letters words self erase! Program update downloaded earlier today, 24.10.11. Fine on my laptop, but my desktop is having problems.

    Rebuild the main library.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
