Droplets stopped working

I have created several droplets in Compressor 3 that use to work just fine. Recently they have ceased to work and you can no longer drag files over them. I have deleted droplets and recreated them elsewhere with no luck.
I have completely recreated the settings and recreated the droplets to no avail.
I can submit jobs to my cluster through Compressor, but this is not practical for my volume of transcoding.
Any ideas?

By ceased, I mean they won't accept new source files. If you attempt to drag files over the droplet, nothing happens.

  • Photoshop CS2 droplets stop working 25+ photos

    I have three machines with this same issue. XP pro fresh install of everything, OS, PS CS2, LR 1.3, etc. All updates. I found this problem related to someone updating PS from CS to CS2, but not for a fresh install. I had this same problem before my most recent XP reformat too-I reformat my machines about once a year.
    Now to my problem, I can't run a droplet on more than 25 images at a time. I have tried multiple combinations of file/folder/droplet locations. Running the droplets from LR 1.3.1 does the same thing. Running from Bridge also will not work. It works fine for a few images, but not for 50 or 100 or more.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Bump.

  • Upgrade to OS X 10.9 Mavericks and CS 5.1 Droplets stop working!

    Adobe website said drag older droplet to photoshop icon and it will be resaved as droplet.app but that didn't work. the website then said recreate the droplet but that is also not working. What is going on? Do i actually have recreate the action from scratch and then save a new droplet?!

    Hi R_Kelly,
    I made a new action from scratch and it does work (sorta).  Which means there is a lot of work in my future to recreate all my actions!
    But the droplet doesn't show as a photoshop droplet. i get a generic file icon (see below) And, I couldn't find it right away because it's creation date says June 2011!?! when i made it today Dec. 2013. So something is definitely wrong!

  • Droplets stopped working in Windows 7

    I've used droplets for a very long time. And they were working fine under Win7RC.  But last week I updated to the released version of Windows and haven't been able to find a way to make droplets work ever since.
    I drag files onto a droplet.  Photoshop CS4 launches if it wasn't already running and then flashes the icon in the taskbar (whether it was previously running or not)) but then nothing ever happens.
    I can't remember where I saw it, but I think I remember seeing an error message during one of my attempts - something about not being able to communicate with photoshop.
    Running a batch works fine.  It's has something to do with the droplet telling Photoshop what to do.
    Any ideas?

    One possible clue: If I drag a file onto a droplet, it launches 64-bit CS4 (which I don't normally use due to problems with plugins).
    Under Win7RC I always had to launch 32-bit CS4 first, then drag files onto the droplet.  And that's what I'm doing now with the released version of Win7. I just can't figure out why it doesn't work now.

  • Droplets stop working in Photoshop CS2

    Droplets won't work if you uninstalled Photoshop after creating the droplet and reinstalled it to a different location than before. Some registry keys don't get removed during the uninstall and the reinstall doesn't overwrite them, which breaks the droplet. The attached DropletFixer.vbs file fixes those registry keys.
    Instructions:
    1. Download the attached file to your desktop.
    2. Unzip with Winzip.
    3. Doubleclick on the DropletFixer.vbs file.
    4. The message "Your registry value appears to be incorrect. I expected: " & pathToExe & " but I read: " & pathToLibrary & ". Would you like me to fix?" appears.
    5. Click yes.
    Note: Clicking Yes will modify your registry.

    Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Droplets not working PS CS4

    I have created droplets for Noiseware actions in PS CS4. When I try to run the action either by dropping images directly onto the droplet on the desktop, or by trying an export action from Lightroom (which is what I really want to do), I get a Microsoft Windows pop up box with the message "Adobe Photoshop Droplet has stopped working".
    I have also tried changing the compatibility of the droplet to run as administrator, I then get a different error message, which says, "Droplet couldn't communicate with Photoshop".
    Have also tried creating droplets for other simple actions other than Noiseware, with the same results.
    Any advice much appreciated.

    I have have created a droplet in Ps5, and when I tried running it in Lr3 and I kept prompted with a dialog box stating "droplet couldn't communicate with photoshop" after googling for a while I clicked on a link that pointed me to this forums, after reading OscylO and some of the above comments, I came out with a more detailed solution below:
    After creating the droplet ".exe" file, for example MyPsDroplet.exe
    Locate the droplet file I have just created with Windows Explorer
    Right-click on that file and select "Properties"
    A dialog box will appear with the title MyPsDroplet.exe
    Checks the checkbox that stated "Run this program as an administrator" and then the "OK" button (as highlighted below)
    And when I run my droplet again (made sure that Ps is not running or it must "Run as administrator"), the "User Account Control" dialog box will appear, asking my permission if it is to continue executing my MyPsDroplet.exe droplet, and I simply click on the "Yes" button, and "Wah-La!" my droplet is working again, in Windows 7 with UAC enabled.

    I reloaded iTunes 10 (64 bit) successfully, but the problem remains the same.
    Any suggestions?

    I looked in the folder from which I want to synch photos, but there is no such thing as an "ipod photo cache" in that folder, or sub-folders, as suggested in the link which you were nice enough to provide.
    I have also tried removing photos from my iPad2 Photos App, and "iTunes has stopped working" shows up  again as soon as I click on the "Synch photos from" button.

  • Since I installed a printer software Satellite L300 has stopped working

    Hello there!
    I'm new here so not really sure if I'm posting in the right place. Mods, please feel free to move to the relevant section, thank you.
    OK I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 Laptop and ever since I installed a printer software on Wednesday night, my laptop has suddenly stopped working!
    Ever since Thursday night, I have been trying to get it working but I'm faced with this message:
    when i load it up it goes to Windows error recovery:
    'windows has failed to start.a recent hardware or software change might be the cause
    if windows files have been damaged or configured incorrectly,startup repair can help diagnose and fix the problem.if power was interrupted during startup,choose start windows normally'
    then it gives two options: Launch startup repair (recomended)
    start windows normally
    ==========
    -so i click launch startup repair (reccomended)
    -then a scren loads up called 'system recovery options'.. it says: select an operating system to repair and click next.only windows vista operating systems are listed and can be repaired
    if you do not see your operating system listed, click load drivers to load drivers for your hard disks'.....
    but nothing comes up so i click load drivers and it just gives me loads of random folders...and i haven't a clue which ones to load
    ========
    5 years ago Report Abuse
    Additional Details
    so i just click 'next'
    ========
    then i have 5 options:
    -startup repair
    -system restore
    -windows complete pc restore
    -windows memory diagnostic tool
    -command prompt
    ==========
    startup repair says it cannot manually fix any problems
    -system restore just says your computer is in a limited state and performing this action cannot be changed...but there is no option to do so
    -windows comple pc restore says i need to insert a backup disk which I dont have
    windows memory diagnostics tool says that windows is preventing this
    ============
    but on the system resotre it tells me to type something like: rstrui.exe /OFFLINE:C:\Windows
    but i don't know where...i typed it in the command prompt but don't understand how to use it
    =========
    i also tried to click start windows normally but it won't work

    If the problem is installed software, start notebook in safe mode and try to start system restore from there.
    Please let me know which options are available. Can you roll back OS few days back?
    Are some restore points listed there?

  • HT1689 I can reach the iTunes Store from my iPod Touch, but it will not open on my PC running Windows 7.  Message shows that iTunes has stopped working.  This happens every time.  I have updated iTunes Software.  Will not solve the problem.  What is wrong

    I have uninstalled iTunes several times and reinstalled it on my PC running Window 7 with all updated loaded.  When I click on the iTunes Store Box, Nothing happens except for a message that reads:
              iTunes has stopped working.
    The following items give me a choice, but no answer comes up.  The computer will shut down the website.
              "Check online for a solution and close the program"
              "Close the program."
    There is an item below the box that is selectable for View problem details.  When clicked a long list of items show up.  I have listed some of the problems as written, but I do not understand them.  I know the iTunes Store has been available on earlier versions of of iTunes but is not on this version.  How can we go back and download an earlier version of iTunes?
         Here are some of the Problem Details:
         "Problem signature:  APPCRASH
         Application Name:     iTunes.exe
         Application Version:  11.0.1.12
         Application Timestamp:  50c8fc7e"

    I had this exact same problem.  I found this fix and it worked for me. 
    Step 1:
    Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. 
    Step 2:
    Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.  I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
    Good Luck.

  • Can't get itunes.  I get the following message when I click on either the shortcut or the program.  It says ITunes has stopped working and I can either check on line for a solution and close the program or just close the program.

    When I click on the itunes shortcut or the program  I get the following message:
    ITunes has stopped working.  My two options are:  Windows can check on line for a solution to the problem or close the program. 
    It seems that my entire library is not there.  If I sync my ipod will it add it back into my library on the computer? 
    I've even tried installing again and nothing works.  Tried the "repair" and it says that ITunes is loaded but I stil get the above error when I try to open the program.
    Thanks
