Camera Raw Update Error "Another instance of Updater is running" CS5

Hey, tried to open Raw files in cs5 today on a Rebel t3i I just got. Recieved error saying I needed to update raw plugin, knew it was gonna have to be done eventually. Been using a 50D for a long time without a problem.
When I go to update the plugin I immediately get the error stating another instance of the updater is running. Can't be true. Nothing in task manager, restarted program and computer, no other users on this computer...what the hell?
Live chat was useless, any ideas here?
Edit: Also just tried to install ACR 6.4 since that's the minimum requirement for this new camera...same error!

Thanks for updating the forum; hopefully someone else may benefit from your findings.
I can't imagine how you connected that Hotfix with the Adobe updater issue - the two seem in totally different realms.  However you did it, good job!

  • How do I reset the "Firefox is being updated by another instance" message?

    I was attempting to update Nightly via the "About Nightly" window. I got a message about a failed upgrade and a link to download a fresh copy of Nightly, so I did. I closed Nightly and overwrote my existing copy with the fresh download and reopened.
    Ever since then, the "About Nightly" window has a message "Nightly is being updated by another instance" and won't look for updates. Is there any way to reset whatever is tracking this to force my new Nightly instance to update again? I've tried restarting in Safe Mode and I don't use antivirus, so I'm pretty sure this has something to do with overwriting my copy of Nightly before it could mark its update attempt as finished.

    You can always follow the Nightly threads in Firefox Builds at mozillaZine forums, a place where many Testers hang out. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=23

  • Changes I make in camera raw do not show up or update in bridge.

    Greetings.
    I’m working in PS CS4 in XP(government).
    Changes I make in camera raw do not show up or update in bridge.
    These images DO process with the changes when I run my actions.
    For example: Open images in bridge. Edit. Open reaming images in camera raw. Push the images two stops in camera raw. Close camera raw. Images in bridge show no change. Run action to turn raw files into psd. Final PSD appear pushed two stops.
    Purging Cache make no difference.
    Thoughts?

    You are using Embedded thumbnails.  These are small and fast, but do not show raw edits.
    You need to use one of the HQ thumb options to see the edits.

  • I can't open RAW files from new Sony Alpha a6000 camera in PSE 11 camera raw editor. Is there an update that will allow me to do this or do I need to always use DNG convertor?

    I can't open RAW files from new Sony Alpha a6000 camera in PSE 11 camera raw editor. Is there an update that will allow me to do this or do I need to always use DNG convertor?

    You would need to update to PSE 12, or just keep using the DNG converter. Your camera requires ACR 8.4, which isn't compatible with PSE 11. It's also not compatible with PSE 12 if you are running Vista or XP.

  • Tried to upgrade from firefox 3.6.2 to 3.6.3, error message says another instance of firefox is running, then 3.6.2 opens. This occurs when i start firefox after restarting the computer, or when i try to install the upgrade

    Whenever i try to open firefox, i get a message that firefox cannot install the upgrade because another instance of firefox is running. Then firefox 3.6.2 will start. running windows 7 64 bit. This will occur every time i try to open firefox, after rebooting or any time i close it and reopen firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I Ok'd the upgrade from 3.6.2 to 3.6.3

    Do a clean (re)install and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

  • How to Manually update Camera RAW? Error message keeps popping up.

    My Adobe updater is not working (keeps saying it's checking for updates, but finds nothing).
    I have done a fresh installation on CS6 design and web premium package today. Thus, Camera Raw needs an update for my Nikon D610 to be compatible.
    The error message given when trying to install Camera Raw 8.8 Manually is:
    Error opening file for writing
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS6\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
    Click Abort to stop installation
    Retry to try again, or
    Ignore to skip this file
    My system specifications:
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
    Intel i7
    16gb RAM
    70GB HDD space available.
    Please help.

    I want to add that using the Nikon software can sometimes corrupt raw files. It is always best to use Windows Explorer to copy the files directly off the card. Card readers can also become corrupt, so try a different one. I'm not sure how you are transferring files, but though I'd mention it.

  • CC Updater - U44M1I11 Another Instance is Running

    Seems like just last month I was struggling with this problem with CS6. Oh wait, I was:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5753380#5753380
    So now I'm back with CC. Installed all the programs today. Hit Update and of course Photoshop, Premiere, and Audition failed their Updates. Error this time was:
    There was an error installing this update. Please try again or contact customer support. (U44M1|11)
    I see that root spawns the Adobe Application Manager (Updater) process when I hit the Update button. Then the update fails.
    Here's the end of the log file from /Library / /  Adobe Setup Error.log

    What's the fix, Adobe? Don't send me to:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-u44m1p7-installing-updates-ccm.html
    I've already done that stuff. I'm so aggravated with this auto updater, it just doesn't work out of the box. This is a brand new 10.9 system, nothing else on it, except for CC, and it won't run it's updates after it's been installed.

    Should have waited a few more minutes before posting the above issue. I fixed it, but the workaround is pretty poor. Adobe, you have problems with the root user spawning the updater's processes. Simple as that.
    Here's my fix:
    Enable the root user and give it a password in the Directory Utility (Users Groups/Login Options/Network Account Server/Open Directory Utility)
    Curse Adobe for forcing you to enable the root user and thus provide another attack vector on your machine
    Open Terminal
    su to become the root user
    Navigate to /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC/Adobe Photoshop CC.app/Contents/MacOS
    Run Photoshop as root by using ./Adobe Photoshop CC
    Photoshop yelled at me for a password to run something when it started up, I ignored it
    Use the Update... option in the Help menu.
    Note in Activity Manager that this has been spawned by Root
    Check off the boxes of programs you want to update, let the updater run. You will have to close out of Photoshop and then quit it by hitting Control C in your Terminal window
    You may also have to go into Activity Manager and Force Quit the logtranspot2 process.
    Wait for the update to complete
    Quit Terminal
    Quit and re-open the Creative Cloud app and verify all the programs show as "Up to Date"
    Disable the root user
    Curse Adobe for forcing you to do this every time you want to update your Creative Cloud programs. It's not very convienent.
    So anyway, there's your fix. Hope it saves someone else a few hours of aggravation.

  • How do you Uninstall Camera Raw 5.5 and 5.6 updates

    My 5.5 Raw Update was working well, then I decided to update to the 5.6 Raw plugin.  I was not happy with the colors and sharpness of the images opened with the 5.6 plugin.  I would like to thrash this and get back to 5.5.  However, PS E does not allow me to open any RAW images now and the Camera Raw Preference in Bridge does not open.  New updates cannot be installed either as my system say I have the 5.6 plugin installed.  How do I uninstall everything and get back to my 5.5 update? I cannot find the location of my 5.6 Raw plugin, I have looked under PS 4 Photoshop application folders as well as Bridge folders. Thanks for your help.

    Finally, my problem was solved by Adobe Support, go to  : www.tinyurl.com/yfznztk and hit Enter.  Then manually download Camera Raw 5.5 plugin from their site.  Once its on your desktop highlight the "Plugin".  Copy this Plugin ( Command C), then open your Hard disk on the desktop and go to Application Support-Adobe CS4-File Format- hit command V to load the Camera Raw 5.5 into the Plugin Folder.  Then re-start computer. Now,  you should have a working Camera Raw 5.5.  Do not download the Camera Raw 5.6 as it is a Beta version meant for developers!

  • I can not update Elements 11 camera raw  8, , I said that already updated

    I see that Photoshop is updated camera raw (to 8), but  is camera raw 7.4 elements 11. I bought a new camera and I do not recognize the raw, however comes in the list of camera raw 8. Do I have a problem in my program to update?

    Try a manual update to ACR 8.1 like this:
    Download the Plug-in zip file from here:
    http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/win/PhotoshopCameraRaw7-7.0/8.1.79/setup.zip
    When you have it explore it and go here:
    ...setup.zip\payloads\AdobeCameraRaw7.0All-290513174249\Assets1_1.zip
    Then extract the 1003 file, rename it and put it where the other .8bi file is, which you renamed to *.old. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats)
    This should also work with version 8.2, which is here:
    http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/win/PhotoshopCameraRaw7-7.0/8.2.67/setup.zip

    PS: Link to Version 8.1 does not seem to work anymore.  Use 8.2 instead.

  • Camera Raw features missing after 10.9 update [Why haven't you replied to my question?]

    This morning camera raw vanished from CC Bridge and Photoshop.  I also downloaded Maverick.  Don't cc and maverick work together ?  How can I get ACR back?

    evclifton, All CC apps are compatible with Maverick 10.9. Check this out. http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/mac-os-mavericks-compatability.html
    Could you please ellaborate the issue? What exactly you mean by "Camera raw vanished from BR CC and PS CC"?
    What exactly happens when you try to open raw files in Camera Raw from either Bridge CC or PS CC?
    Please restart the machine and retry.

  • How do I copy Camera RAW defaults to another computer?

    I use Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Camera RAW to process RAW files (D700).  I have ACR preferences set to make the defaults ASA specific, which means I have 41 defaults for ACR.  I have a folder of images shot with the D700 that includes one image for each ASA the camera can select when auto ASA is activated in the D700, that's where I get 41 ASA values.  I use the images in this folder to set a default for each ASA value and then select one at a time in Camera RAW and click to set a new default for ACR (Adobe Camera RAW).  These defaults are saved in some location on the computer, but I don't know where.  I would like to copy these saved defaults to another computer that is also running Photoshop CS6.  Does anyone know where the defaults are located, or is there a better way to accomplish this task?

    If I understand what you said, I think this will only save RAW Defaults for that specific image conditions.  I have the RAW converter set to make it specific to image ASA and for the D700 it can set 41 different ASA values for the image.  I have 41 Camera RAW Defaults for the D700 and would like to transfer all to the second computer, that's the reason I am looking for options to accomplish this task. 
    I have a folder with 41 D700 NEF files with each having a different ASA value.  I select this folder of images in Camera RAW, adjust each image to the defaults I want - the main difference is noise settings.  When I have the settings I want, I click the Done button.  I then open the images again in Camera RAW, select one at a time and select the "Save New Camera Raw Defaults".  Now when I open new NEF files for the D700 it will automatically apply the Default I want based on the image ASA. 
    I currently copy the folder with the 41 images that was saved with the defaults I want and open them one at a time and save a new default on the second computer.  If I copy the "Camera RAW" folder it should give me all the same defaults, custom camera profiles, custom curver, settings, etc. 
    I have not tried this yet, but if it works it will save a lot of time keeping the two computers in sync relative to these parameters.   

  • Windows Update Error 800B0109 after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 Installed

    Hi, I have this error message when running windows update, it happened after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 installed.
    Any idea how to resolve this?
    Thank you.

    Hi，
    Please make sure that your antivirus application does not scan the files in the
    %windir% \SoftwareDistribution directory on any computer on which Windows Update Agent is installed.
    You can also temporarily turn off the antivirus application and check the result.
    Or run the following commands, and press Enter after each command:
    Net stop wuauserv
    cd %systemroot%
    Ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
    Net start wuauserv
    Try to install updates again.
