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

  • Easylink does not detect internet connection

    Please help. I have a wireless G broadband router model wrt54g. I've had it for about a year in a half and used it maybe twice. I just ran the setup and got an error saying easylink does not detect your internet connection. I went on line to make sure I was connected and followed the steps to resolve this issue. I got a message saying congratulations your router was configured succesfully but you are not yet connected to the internet. I went online to try and get help with this issue and downloaded firmware. My comptuer won't even allow me to run the download, it just does nothing when I click on it. Could someone please advise me as to how to get this router to detect my internet connection. Thanks

  • Using Outlook for Mac; emails and calendar announcements will not send--error message: "the server does not support secure connections" Help?

    Am using Outlook calendar for Mac--needed for client connection. Invites will not go out. Error message: "server does not support secure connections." Resolution?

    I have done a similar set of things and no results.
    This is really odd, Mac Mail works other emasil clients work, just not Outlook.
    The only event I can tie it back to is the outage a couple of weeks ago when AppleID's weren't working for a perdion of time.  I ended up having to reset mine. 
    Is it feasible a local certificate got corrupted at the same or, oddly, that the SMTP servers don't have the updated password?
    What's odd is that I no matter how much i Google, i can't find anyone else who has this problem, other than here?

  • Torch 9810 does not detect USB connection

    The USB menu - you know, with the 3 blue boxes ? - has topped coming up when I plug the cable into my BB Torch. I can't load or download anything because the stupid frickin thing doesn't know it's plugged in. Phone makes the little "doo-doop" noise when I plug the USB cable in, but menu does not come up. Battery charge indicator comes on when I plug into a wall outlet, and th ebattery recharges so I know the port works (it's a 2 month old RIM battery). I've tried all 6 USB ports on my computer, and 3 different USB cables - it's not that. I tried a shutdown/restart, didn't help. I did a hard crash/restart by pulling the battery, didn't work. I'm getting pretty gawdamm fed up. Anybody got any ideas?

  • ITunes does NOT detect network connection when I use a 3G modem

    Hi
    since christmas iTunes has not been able to update when i commute, using a 3G USB modem. Over enabled and live WLAN or Ethernet interfaces everything works fine, but TCPdump does not register any packets at all from iTunes when only the USB 3G modem is up. All other networking activities work in this state, but iTunes erronously thinks there is no network and doesn't even initiate network activity.
    Seems iTunes tries to be smart by detecting "is there network" by asking something in the OS, rather than trying?
    Is this a bug? Am I the only one experiencing this? Is this isolated to my particular 3G modem/ISP? I don't think so...
    thanks for any enlightenment,
    peter

    Hi. Just go a bit further by process of elimination which you've already started. Here's a couple more things you can try.
    1. Different USB cable?
    2. Try plugging into another computer just to see if your iPhone will get recognised then.
    If it still deosn't work then I can only assume that the handset itself has developed some kind of fault, in which case, just book a 'Genius' appointment at your local Apple store asap and get it replaced.

  • HH5 Does not detect my Technomate Box

    I've recently switched from a HH3 to a HH5, and now that I have set everything up, the HH5 does not detect a connection to my Technomate satellite box via Ethernet, this was not the problem with my HH3.
    Is there any way I can force a connection? Why has the HH5 blocked and detected no connection only to my Technomate Box, when it allows connection to all my other devices such as my PS4, YouView, and 2 Computers?
    Help?!
    Thanks.

    As kb1951 states, unless this phone was purchased directly from Apple, it is not officially unlocked. In the US, only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones. The message you got generally means your phone was hacked to unlock it...jailbroken...Apple's servers have detected such & are preventing your phone from activating...there's nothing wrong with the activation servers.
    You'll need a sim card from the carrier your phone is locked to in order to activate it. If you don't know what carrier, you'll have to call AppleCare in the US to determine this info. Be aware, US carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a customer that used the phone on their network. Thus, there is most likely no way for you to get this phone officially unlocked.
    Good luck.

    I have the same problem. I didn't want to use the Creative s/w to synchronize so I connected it via a USB 2.0 port on a Dell 200FP monitor. XP (SP2) recognized it and prompted me to synch with WMP, MediaMonkey, or Take no action. I took no action. It recharged just fine. I downloaded the firmware update file from the Creative site. I ran the file and it didn't recognize the Zen. Many unplugs and re-plugs. XP always sees it (but not with a dri've letter), but Creative and MM don't. I can also see it in the Device Manager. Thinking there might be necessary drivers, I installed the Creative Media Explorer from the CD. No change. It doesn't recognize it either. I've tried a monitor USB port, a front USB port, and a back USB port. I set it to a 52M removeable disk. Windows now sees it as a dri've and the Creative Removable Dri've Manager sees it. And, of course, MM sees it now as a removeable dri've. But I want it to see it as an MP3 player. I'd also like to update its firmware, because I think MM requires the the Plays-for-Sure update. No replies to the other messages in 5 days? Does Creative read this forum? I'll try to call Support, but are they open on New Year's Eve? Sigh.Message Edited by skst on 2-3-200604:0 PM

    help! i've googled around, but none seems to solve my problem
    my macbook pro is early 2011, 13", running lion.
    the philips monitor is vga only, so i have a mini display port to vga adaptor and connecting it to the vga.
    the screen on my mbp does turn blue, but no input is detected on the external monitor.
    any advice?

    If it does not detect the display automatically, try going to system preferences>displays, click detect displays.

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store.  Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.  You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor.  If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected.  I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

  • Thinkpad Edge S430 - Windows does not detect external display connected via HDMI

    On a Thinkpad S430 with HD4000 integrated graphics, an external display connected via a HDMI cable is not detected at all when using Windows. The system is fully updated as of the time of posting this message, both via the Lenovo Update tool as well as Windows update.
    The Intel driver version is 8.15.10.2696. It appears that this is the latest version, since it does not offer an update when I try to auto-update it via Device Manager.
    NB: I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.4.0 on the same machine, and the external display works perfectly fine with this software configuration.
    Hence I think that it's very likely that this is a Windows-specific driver issue.
    Would Lenovo happen to have a driver update in the works? Alternatively, I will be thankful for any suggestions about possible resolution of this problem.
