Photo Downloader freezes while searching device list.

Can't download photos in Bridge CC.  Photo Downloader freezes while searching for device list
Someone please help with instructions.  I tried to re-download Camera Raw with no change
Thanks !

I have the same problem with new late 2013 Retina 15" Mac Book Pro and Bridge CS6. With older Mid-2010-mac Book Pro it was running OK. In both cases was used the built-in card reader. Any solution?

  • Photo Downloader freezes when loading device list

    I'm using Bridge 2.1.1.9 on a Mac running 10.5.4. Recently, when I connect a Nikon camera to transfer photos, the Adobe Photo Downloader freezes after displaying a "Loading device list" message. I have to Force Quit the Photo Downloader to get out of this situation. I tried unchecking the Bridge Preference for "When a Camera is connected, launch Adobe Photo Downloader", and manually choosing File > Get Photos from Camera, but Photo Downloader still freezes.
    This process used to work perfectly. I don't know what has changed to cause it to break. When the camera is connected to the Mac, the Mac does recognize the camera and presents its disk image on the Desktop.
    Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

    >Here's hoping Apple and/or Adobe fixes this issue someday soon, though
    It is not an Apple or Adobe issue, it can happen with every platform in every application. It is more an issue that the camera picks up something that it should not or it hesitates due to power malfunction or you name it ...
    There are a lot of types in camera's and even each brand has a different software version for a newer type. The card reader route is safer and also faster as Andy already pointed out.
    Also after backing up raw files and converting to DNG check if the previews are working good in Bridge and after that you should format the CF card each time in the camera itself instead of deleting all or format in the computer.
    And changing your workflow is also a good thing to try, every upgrade for an application has newer functions that require a new approach. I can assure you that a new approach for an old habit can be very productive :-)

  • Photo Downloader freezes while Devicelist is loading

    Hi there,
    on my iMac (OSX 10.5.8) the Photo Downloader works well when the system is "freshly started". At any uncertain point in time, when I launch Bridge and the Photo Downloader, the window "Device list is loading" (actually "Geräteliste wird geladen") is shown and ... nothing happens anymore. When I kill Downloader an restart the wohle system, next time Downloader works well. Until the problem reoccurs after quiting and relaunching Bridge/Downloader.
    Any idea?

    When I kill Downloader an restart the wohle system, next time Downloader works well. Until the problem reoccurs after quiting and relaunching Bridge/Downloader.
    You could try to quit Bridge and Photodownloader and then from the user library  Preferences folder find and manual delete the plist file for Photodownloader (com.adobe.photodownloader.plist) This will be recreated with a default one after having started Bridge and Photodownloader. So you will have to choose your own customized settings once to get t back to what you like.
    If the problem persist also check your system maintenance. Have you already tried to check and repair your permissions? Use Apple Disk Utility for this (in the utilities folder in Applications)

  • Adobe BRIDGE CS 5 PHOTO DOWNLOADER freezes and/or stops working during download after 2 years of use

    Adobe BRIDGE CS 5 PHOTO DOWNLOADER freezes and/or stops working during download after 2 years of use. I have uninstalled/re installed twice, cleaned system, adjusted Bridge settings with no change. And I have found no helpful troublshooting tips in forum or on web.

    Does it freeze with other type of cards.  Have seem some post that suggest an imbedded CODEC on the flash card can cause file corruption in Bridge and Mac Finder.

  • Bridge CS6 photo downloader freezes and will not allow import.

    Hello,
    I'm running Windows 8 and CS6.  Whenever I try and import images from an photo card, Photo Downloader freezes.  Only way to get out of dialogue box is to X out.   I cannot import or set up default folders, file names, etc..  This never happened to me on earlier versions of Bridge.  Any ideas?  Happy to provide more specifics if helpful or relevant.

    Do you have another reader?  USB dedicated to specific size is most reliable.
    If not you can try from camera, although this is the most error prone. 
    Also, it is recommended by many that you do not delete and format card in computer, but this should be done in camera each time.

  • 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.

    I click into the photo click the box with the arrow and once I click "iCloud" nothing happens. I have to force quit the app to regain control. The photo does not add. I tried this with my iphone (both io ios 7) and the phone works fine.

  • Photo Downloader Freezes Up

    Hi to all Bridge Macintosh users,
    I've posted this same thing to the Adobe:Camera Raw forum, but it is probably more relevant to Bridge Macintosh forum users. That is the photo downloader freeze-up problem when you click "choose" to select a folder. It happens if you install the latest Camera Raw plug-in. You can take Adobe's advice and do an elaborate work-around that involves putting all your photos into a pre-selected folder and simply not using the "choose" button (I find that ridiculous, personally, but if you have a camera that is only supported by the newest version of ACR, you have no other choice), or you can use Time Machine to go back and find your copy of ACR 4.6.1. Once restored to its place in the Root directory:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Plug-ins folder, Photo Downloader will be restored to normal functionality. Don't bother deleting "plist" files as suggested by some forum participants. That simply doesn't work. Hopefully Adobe will have a fix soon for users with the new cameras covered by ACR 6.5. Thank you.

    Somehow, I hadn't caught this:

    Gary,
    Oh, that is soooooo wrong! 
    One should ALWAYS run the LATEST release of ACR, no exceptions.  Each new release brings unheralded, unannounced and sometimes even unacknowledged bug fixes and improvements, beyond support for newer cameras.
    Staying with an older version just because your camera is already supported by it is a very <euphemism>unwise</euphemism> decision.

  • Photo Downloader freezes randomly during download

    Hi all,
    I've used Bridge without trouble since CS5 was first released, but this week, it froze during a routine download of about 30 Gb from my Canon 7D.  [I do lots of time-lapse photography.]  When I retried the operation, it failed again, but at a different file.  I launched Task Manager and noted almost no CPU usage, either from PhotoDownloader or any other programs.  I retried again, downloading just one day at a time.  That worked fine (though not fun selecting the files and prone to human error).  Then, I connected my GoPro Hero 4 - also no history of probems - and after a few files downloaded successfully, it failed too, but this time with an error message about failing to communicate with the device.  And this time, I also noticed that all of my external hard disks spun up just prior to failure.  [This might've happened during the prior failures too but I didn't notice.]  Again, I downloaded in batches, day-by-day, and it worked fine.
    As such, it appears that Photo Downloader is freezing or failing randomly - the fewer files I download at once, the less likely I am to have a problem.  I have a hunch that another program might be accessing all of the disks on my system and, consequently, temporarily blocking communications between Photo Downloader and the USB-attached camera, but haven't seen any processes spike in Task Manager.  [It may be a hidden Windows thing.]  I wonder if there's a time-out value in Bridge I can increase?
    I'm using Adobe Bridge CS5 (4.0.5.11) on Windows.
    Any ideas?

    Bad idea.
    This excerpt is from a long-gone post by author Bruce Fraser:
    Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21) Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.         •
            • Drains the camera battery
            • Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
            • Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
            • Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

  • PSE9 Photo Downloader freezes

    I have PSE9 that I run on an I-mac quad core with 8mg of ram. Anytime I load a media card and try to use photo downloader the program frezzes when I try to change the location that I want to save the photo to. I've read a few forum threads that suggest download Camera Raw 6.6 update. I have done this but when I use Adobe Patch installer a window pops up saying " Update is not applicable" This seems to be a know issues that dates back for alest 6 months. Does anyone know if Adobe has solved this issue?

    Okay, the simple way is to go here and download the update:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
    Then double click the DMG file to mount it. Double click Payloads, then double click this dmg file:
    Double click Universal, and then you'll see the camera raw plugin.
    Now go to your hard drive>library>application support>adobe>Plugins>Elements 9>File Formats and remove the existing camera raw plug in from there and replace it with the new one.

  • "Loading Device List" Freeze

    When I connect up my Casio EX-S600 camera to my computer, Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 automatically launches the photo downloader. However, the screen shows the words "Loading Device List" but does nothing and freezes. I have to go into System Manager to kill it.
    My wife has the same camera and it does the same with hers.
    I have re-installed APASE V3.2 and this has not cured it. I have looked through the questions and answers on the forum and have seen folks having a similar problem but no definitive answer to it. I have seen it suggested that it is something to do with "Preferences" but when I try to go into this part of the software, it also freezes.
    I have also gone into the Customer Support part of the web-site and followed the steps suggested there, again with no result.
    I have upgraded the software on the camera to the latest version, again with no result.
    I believe the problem arose at the same time as I upgraded to APASE V3.2
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I use Norton System Works and Norton Internet Security. Firstly, I disabled every Norton component that I could. The APASE software still freezes. Secondly, just to be sure, I uninstalled Norton completely but still the APASE software freezes. I have now reinstalled Norton and all the required upgrades (which took a few days!) and still the APASE "loading device list" freezes.
    "My Computer" shows the camera and I can transfer photos to "My Photos" from the camera and then use APASE to "get photos from file" but this is an unsatisfactory "get round" really.
    Incidentally, I have just bought a Summit Photofix copier with Photoimpression 6.0 to copy negatives onto my hard drive. When I open the software and try to transfer an image, "Windows XP encounters a problem" and closes the software. I haven't solved this one yet but it may be related. I have also tried to re-load this software, including when Norton was uninstalled, but it hasn't helped the problem.
    Regards - Derek.

  • 10.3 OS Upgrade error. An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later

    HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! "An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists." appears while attempting to upgrade or install BlackBerry Device Software. upgrading my Z10 OS to 10.3 on both (link & web). but facing same problem again and again. plz help. internet speed is 1mbps and working fine.

    I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Photo Downloader - delete files from camera results in device is not connected or busy

    Hi,
    My user use Adobe Bridge CS6 since a few weeks. They also made a transition from Windows XP to Windows 7 (32 bit). All my users have the issue in Photo Downloader. They can download the pictures into their network folders, and when the import is completed Photo Downloader asks if the user wants to delete those pictures from the device or card reader. When the user clicks on Yes, it results in the (some what) following error: Device is not attached/connected or busy. Since we use the Dutch language it is a free translation ;-). Now my first thought was that maybe Windows sees the device as a Read Only device and that is why he can't delete those pictures. If so, I have to search for the solution in our policy's and USB/device management. But I am not familiar with Adobe Bridge.
    Thanks!

    Sorry to be the messenger with bad news.
    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.
