Photo Downloader 6.0 - Disable / Selective Disable

Hi - I have two questions about Photo Downloader. The first question is for version 4.0 (which my mom has). How do you set it up so that the downloader *won't* automatically pop up when you plug in a camera? My second question is about version 6.0 (which I have). Mine pops up when I plug in my camera (which I do want) but it also pops up when I plug in my mp3 player (which I *don't* want). How to I get it to not show up when I plug in the mp3 player? Thanks.

For your mom, first try just right clicking the downloader icon in the system tray and choosing Disable. If that doesn't do it, go to Control Panel (classic view)>Administrative Tools>Services and Find Adobe Active File Monitor and disable it.
Unfortunately, there's no way to be selective with the downloader. You might want to turn it off in the system tray and just turn it on when you want to download photos.

  • Adobe Photo Downloader (apdproxy.exe) has to be disabled in both PSE3 & PSE4. Could It Be True of Ot

    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=332361
    This is a link to an Adobe Tech note (dated 2007-1-4) concerning disabling Adobe Photo Downloader 3 (apdproxy.exe) with both PSE3 and PSE4 installed on the same machine. Could it be that this also applies to other apps, for example having both LR and Adobe Photo Downloader installed on the same machine?

    Thanks for the link but my problem is with EXE files (amongst others) so, as stated in the MS article, you can't use that method to change the behaviour.
    By comparing to another machine, I have found is a set of keys in the HKCU registry that shouldn't be there -
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
    "Application"="AcroRD32.exe"
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWi thList]
    "a"="AcroRd32.exe"
    "MRUList"="a"
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWi thProgids]
    "exefile"=hex(0):
    Having now removed them using REGEDIT (& I remembered to back up my registry first!) I have now re-installed Acrobat Reader without experiencing problems (haven't rebooted yet, but I'm pretty sure it's fixed) - e.g. I can still use REGEDIT, launch IE7 or Firefox from icons that didn't work before.
    I have no idea how those keys got there, but they're gone now ;-}

  • Disable Photo downloader- how do I organise the pictures

    I have been using photo downloader with my PSE6.  Everytime I insert a SD card,  the downloader will organise all the pictures and put them in folders according the date that the pictures were taken.
    Recently my computer is getting slower and I would like to disable the downloder from startup.  I can still manually transfer my pictures.  But how do organise the pictures by date automaticlly if I am not using downloader ?

    Reading the question carefully, you ask "can I do this"? And I am very unclear about what the pronoun "this" is referring to. Yes, you can move photos from the SD Card to your hard drive and put them in folders by date. But I have the vague sense that you are asking something different. So I have read the question carefully and still am unclear about the question.

  • How do i disable automatic photo downloading in PSE 12?

    I have been searching for a way to disable the automatic photo downloading in Photoshop Elements 12, but haven't found any way to do it. I don't want the service running at all unless I choose to launch it manually.
    What is the correct way to disable this feature, but without uninstalling PSE?

    Which operating system are you using?

  • Disable Photo downloader in photoshop album starter 3.0

    When I connect my camera via USB, the photo downloader starts & ties up the camera software. Other forum topics instruct to choose edit / preferences / camera or card reader & deselect "use Adobe photo downloader to get photos from camera or reader", but that is not a choice in photoshop album starter 3.0. Any ideas?

    > Is there any way to get rid of the photo downloader icon in the try for PSA 3.0?
    You can right click on it and select the option, but it will come back next time you reboot or start PSA SE. To get rid of it permanently: In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Album Starter Edition\3.0\Apps and reaname the file apdproxy.exe to something else [like "apdproxy-save.exe"].

  • Photo Downloader APD hangs freezes in Photoshop Elements 9 when camera or iphone 4S selected

    I can't get any new images downloaded off my devices.  I usually do this with Photo Downloader in the Photoshop Elements 9 Organiser ... I go into Get Photos > from camera or card reader, then select the relevant device (iphone 4S or Canon 40D).  As expected it asks to select a device, whcih I do, but then it gets stuck on "connecting to devlce, please wait".  I first noticed this problem with my iphone 4S but have since not been able to download from camera either.
    I am running Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 9, using iphone 4S with latest version of software and latest itunes.
    I have tried:
    I have updated the software from within elements (detected camera raw 6.5 needs updating; done) and the problem persists.
    I have optimised/ repaired the catalog
    There seem to be threads relating to hanging when you try to change the location in downloader.  That is not my problem.  Camera raw 6.5 seemed to cause the problem in that case.  Today I have just updated my elements software (it detected camera raw 6.5 required installation so I suppose I must have been running the previous version of camera raw).  Hence camera raw 6.5 not the problem in this case?  If it's relevant, a hard drive search detects camera raw.8bi 16 Sept 2011 19012kb in c:\programfiles\commonfiles\adobe\plugins\elements9 as well as camera raw.8BI with 8 Sept 2010 10179kb in c:\program files\adobe\adobe premiere elements 9\apd\photo downloader\plugins
    This happened around the time I upgraded the iphone 4S software (friday 24 August 2012) to the latest version.
    Thanks for reading
    Kimberley

      To check that the update installed correctly go to the Editor menu and click:
    Help >> About Plug-in >> Camera Raw
    You should see a pop up with the version number.
    Press Esc to close.
     

  • I am not able to do a software update as the download button is disabled. Why and any advise may i upgrade my software

    I am not able to do a software update as the download button is disabled. Why and any advise may i upgrade my software

    The download button will be disabled if you are not on a WiFi connection at the present time.
    My 4G/LTE connection is actually faster than my available WiFi (in this present location), but those are the rules...

    I am unable to download my photos to Elements 10.  The program recognizes my Canon camera and he number of photos on its card.  But when I tap "get media" nothing happens and I then cannot even cancel or close the photo downloader page, which Task Manager says is not responding.  Help?

    1. Please restart the machine and try importing again.
    2. From blog: http://psekb.blogspot.in/2013/03/pse-organizer-is-not-launching.html, please  try solution #2 and step #2 under solution #1. Please do the steps for both Oragnizer and AdobePhotodownloader (.exe located at same location as that of Elements Organizer)
    If above steps doesn't resolve the system, please provide following info:

    - Are you using a multi (OS) user machine (eg standard user, guest account or another administrator account) etc?

  • Remove the photo download option - Can it be this easy?

    So I've been using the html snippet to disable the download button. While I was fixing some stuff tonight. I stumbled upon this.
    Go into you photo and click the inspector - blue "i" at the bottom tool bar. A little window will open up. Click on the third icon, a little picture. Click Photos. Select "None" in the photosharing download size drop down menu. The Download option disappears in the album. I just tried it and it works! The download option in the published site is gone.
    Check it out:
    lightcolorcontrast.com
    just try to download a photo now. Seriously, try, let me know if you can.
    I still have some text saying that the download option is disabled. I'll leave that there for a bit.
    Later,

    Here are couple things:
    1) be aware of my post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5466653&#5466653
    2) it took me a bit longer this time (~4min), *all the tools are in within Safari*

  • Photo Downloader and Kodak Easy Share Gallery - PAS3

    Question 1. For some reason Adobe Photo Downloader has decided to place itself into my systray. I can disable it. I can not remove it. I do not seem to be able to find any option or preference to disallow it from launching. While I have a digitral camera, I use the download from the maker. I like it quite a bit. I am less pleased when my systray gets filled with things I don't want. Any guidance?
    Question 2. When I want to share an image online, a new screen invites me to use Kodak's Easy Share Gallery. I use Kodak ESG, so why do I need PASE 3?
    When I tried to e-mail an image, I thought it would launch my e-mail composition window with the attachment in place. It only gives me the path where I can find the image. It appears that I still have to open the e-mail program, and create the attachment link. I must be doing something wrong, Adobe usually does not make me walk around the block to complete a task.
    Guidance?
    Thanks

    "When I tried to e-mail an image, I thought it would launch my e-mail composition window with the attachment in place. It only gives me the path where I can find the image. It appears that I still have to open the e-mail program, and create the attachment link"
    To solve this, try the following:
    - Select Preferences option from Edit Menu
    - Select Email in the left pane in Preferences Window
    If my assumption is correct, the option "Other (Save to Disk)" will be selected in the "Send Email Using" list.
    - Select your email client from the "Send Email Using" drop down list.
    - Click OK and restart the application

  • Photo downloader in Bridge cs6 quits during downloads

    During photo downloads, my version of Bridge in CS6 quits after downloading only a portion of the images, for example it will download about 100 pictures, when there are 500 selected to be downloaded. This is a relatively new issue - it always worked fine before. Any clues how to remedy this?

    How to disable this behaviour? And replace with the default behaviour of Windows 7?
    Don't know how to handle the default of Windows 7 but if you don't want Photodownloader start automatically go to the Bridge Preferences general section. Under behavior you have an option to start Photodownloader when a camera is connected. just deselect this option and you should be OK
