Photoshop batch processing missing from menu

Hi everyone:
I'm having a terrible time today trying to process the 3500 images I've got. I set up an action to process them, but I can't figure out how to link them to be used through Bridge. I'm running Bridge CS5 with PS CS4, and I'm used to going to Tools->Photoshop->Batch. It's missing entirely from the menu.
I did a bunch of research and found that this issue likely has something to do with the Startup Scripts. So I checked those, and Photoshop is missing from the options. I can't find where that script right reside, as the folder the scripts are supposed to live in appears to be empty (I do have Adobe Bridge CS5 and InDesign CS5 as options, though the script folder itself is empty).
If it's a simple matter of installing the appropriate script, where might I find it? And if not, how can I solve the problem?

If it's a simple matter of installing the appropriate script, where might I
find it? And if not, how can I solve the problem?
By default they are installed in the library at root level ( Mac OS:
//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/Adobe Photoshop/)
but I have no experience with - nor would I recommend - the use of CS5
Bridge with PSCS4.
If you don't have installed PSCS5 for whatever reason your fastest way would
be to start Bridge CS4. Let the folder with the files cache first and use
that Bridge version with PSCS4 to perform your batch. BTW, you can save and
export the actions from PSCS4 as a set and import them again in PSCS5.
And of course you could also open the batch in PS itself like we used to do
in the past before Bridge. PS/File/Automate/Batch and choose the folder you
want to apply the batch in.

  • Photoshop- Batch tool missing in Bridge?

    My Photoshop-> Batch is missing from the bridge tools menu?  And when I go into Photoshop to automate->Batch I can't choose Bridge as a source. It is there, but it is not in bold(i.e.cannot be selected.)
    I have checked my Bridge->Preferences-> Start up script, and all Photoshop options are checked there. I have also tried enabling them agin, and then restarting Bridge, and resetting Bridge Preferences, still  nothing.  I also tried to delete plist files in my library- I just deleted the bridge one- but I'm not sure what that really does, in any case, it didn't work.
    I used to work. Any suggestions??

    But my problem is that in Bridge, all I have under the tools menu is cache, the Photoshop->Batch option isn't there anymore.
    In that case, something is wrong with your install. Only thing I can offer is to do an uninstall and a fresh install.

  • HT204587 touch id & passcode missing from menu

    touch id & passcode missing from menu on new iphone 5s

    I am still trying to understand my issue. I believe more and more than it is some kind of limits on password characters or complexity:
    - http://images.apple.com/ipad/business/docs/iOS_Security_Feb14.pdf, in February 2014, Apple indicates than you can use long passwords but only limited to alphanumeric characters: "iOS supports four-digit and arbitrary-length alphanumeric passcodes". Nevertheless, they also speak about complex characters without detailing what it means.
    - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jason-gilbert/use-accented-letters-iphone-passcode -secure_b_2765927.html, this report from Jason Gilbert (Feb 2013) recommends to use complex/special characters but indicated that "Apple added the ability to turn your passcode into a combination of numbers and letters, from 5 to 12 characters in length".
    -https://developer.apple.com/.../leRef/Introduction/Introduction.html gives more detail listing some of the "authorised" complex characters: "A complex character is a character other than a number or a letter, such as &%$#".
    I am still a little bit confused regarding which characters can be used. Apparently, lenght is not a problem for passcode and we can use some complex characters but considering I was using spaces " ", simple quote " ' ", " - ", puctuation " ! " and accentuated characters "é", I may have used an "unsuported" passcode.

  • My Photoshop CS5 is missing from the App. directory but the folder to reinstall has vanished. How can I reinstall???

    I do not have a disc & believe I got it when I bought this desktop in 2011. All other software in the Creative Suite works fine but Photoshop says: "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application." Can anyone help me???

    If you registered your Adobe applications, you can retrieve the s/n by accessing your Adobe account at the Adobe corporate web site.
    You can do a search for the trial version.
    You are NOT addressing Adobe, and I'm not inclined to do all your legwork for you. Sorry.

  • Photos missing from menu on AppleTV

    9 out of ten times when any AppleTV (x2 gen2, x1 gen3 in house) is navigated from AppleTV Main to Computers (green) > Photos item is missing from list.  Not greyed out or dimmed but gone.  Then of course at some random day when I least expect it the Photos item will be listed.
    All other items are there Music, Movies, TV Shows, Home vides, Podcasts, iTunes U and nothing (most often) where Photos should be ...   The iCloud Photos seem to function however always disappointedly slow.
    iMac OS, TV's updates, iOS, etc all current & up-to-date, AirPort Time Capsule is wired to all TV's, iMac, wireless to all iOS.  Speeds to all devices have been checked and range from 65 to 450 Mb/s, speed to the outside world averages 52MB down & 16MB up - so this should not hinder progress.
    I have not been able to determine if it's the order of powering up each item (iMac, TV, ...) OR if the last time used it should be shut down in certain order OR stand on one foot, wait for a full moon?   Sadly it works one day and then the next it does not, I cannot determine the circumstances when it does or does not.
    I have tried to reboot TV one at a time OR ensuring Time Machine is idle etc but to no avail to force or simply allow the photos to appear.  With limited success rebooting Everything at once seems to do the trick but not 100% of the time.
    I check and recheck processes running and nothing out of the ordinary raises a brow.
    Thoughts, advise or wisdom?

    There was a glimmer of hope today, shortly after I wrote above (about 1 ½ hours) the photos appeared.  
    Went out for dinner.
    Came back and started everything back up as I normally do - Nothing.  Checked and unchecked and rechecked settings, stood on one foot - Nothing.
    Frankly it all started to a limited degree just before Mavericks era and has continued.   During this time I have become complacent with photos not working on any TV (before Yosemite perhaps monthly) however since several iPads came into our possession these have been my goto for images.  The preferred method is of course several photo streams shared and not shared which work with acceptable results.  Shared photo streams work to a certain level on any TV but certainly not quickly. 
    May I also add screen savers on TV's & iMac will default to National Geographic often and impossible to predict intervals - I'm beginning to Hate National Geographic.  On my iMac I found the folder of images and replaced it with a single image warning me Yosemite has failed once again.  I see this image weekly.
    I can be reasonable confident the issues are not TV related nor internal network related, the root problem is OS X and the apps iPhoto and now Photos.  Serving up content on all devices is instantaneous with a sustained data rate well above normal, except for images and only images.
    To address your ponderation of external storage, no, I have heard of horror stories using external drives for photos.   Music, Video, TV... are all on external drives (7TB) & backed up to another set of drives.  Time capsule is happy looking after images and documents.   My thoughts on the iCloud image storage was speaking aloud of perhaps a notion OS X might feel better or work better that I'm not aware, perhaps as well sparking a thought that photo library iCloud storage has a benefit.  I will let Apple know of my situation and prepare myself to reinstall everything which I would like to avoid, I would have thought Photos might be fundamentally new but it appears it is using some remnant of iPhoto.

  • Adobe Bridge CC 'Tools Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' missing from menu.

    Hi,
    After updated to bridge CC the 'Tools > Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' has simply disappeared from the menu! Is there a plug in that I'm missing or is this something similar to how the Output module works, where you have to install the files manually?
    Thank You

    I uninstalled all Adobe products -> reboot -> reinstall; which didn't work.
    So I had to uninstall all Adobe products again, then use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner, reboot & reinstall everything again; then it finally worked.
    This seems to be a regular thing since the introduction of Adobe CC, almost every new update or new versions breaks functionality & requires a complete uninstall -> reinstall process.

  • DW CC  2014 Window--- Extensions--- Adobe Exchange Option Missing from Menu Toolbar

    I discovered that this option is not listed in the menu though from reading Adobe Dreamweaver * Extensions it should be.
    Then, I did a search and came up with Adobe Extension Manager CC at Adobe - Exchange : Download the Adobe Extension Manager.
    So.  I thought maybe I had to install the Adobe Extension Manager CC and the option would then appear under the Window menu items listed.
    I successfully performed the install of Adobe Extension Manager cc then started DW CC 2014..
    The option did not appear.
    Now, I suspect I can use Adobe Extension Manager CC just fine (assuming here) but I would prefer to manage extensions as advertised in Adobe Dreamweaver * Extensions.
    Can anyone give me some guidance?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    For anyone else with this problem it is a pain but, yes Arpit is correct. Uninstall Photoshop CC 2014.1, go to the Adobe site and sign in, go to Apps, download Photoshop CC 2014 again and install. It should open as 2014.2. Then you can see Windows>Libraries
    I'm not sure why my system repeatedly would not see there was an update to Photoshop. That seems like a bug to me for a subscription based service. Wonder what else I might be missing out on?
    Now I hope my Libraries content (which shows up in Photoshop) will now start showing up in the cloud online. It is missing. Ugh.
    Hope this helps.

  • Encrypt PDF missing from menu?

    Hello all. I'm having a slight problem here. When I go to the print screen in any application, and go to the PDF menu, The option to Encrypt PDF is missing. I have Yojimbo installed (http://www.barebones.com/products/yojimbo/), and in the menu is "Send PDF to Yojimbo". Did Yojimbo possibly remove these items? Can't see why it would. Anyone know how I can get these back? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Could be system corruption. You could try doing an Archive and Install:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Contact Sheet II missing from menu (CS4)

    Hello,
    I have CS4 and in Photoshop automate menu Contact Sheet II is not listed. It's also not listed in Bridge under Tools>Photoshop.
    I've seen discussions on here for the entire automate section to be missing in Photoshop and the whole photoshop section missing in Bridge, but nothing on a single menu item missing.
    I know it's supposed to be there in CS4, A) because I've used it before (on another machine), and B) Adobe Photoshop CS4 * Create a contact sheet. It's driving me nuts!

    Ohhh, turns out you have to install plugins for them (Adobe Photoshop CS4 * Optional plug-ins, also on the 3rd disc "Content").

  • Photoshop batch produce titles from XML or text list

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use photoshop to batch export a large list of titles from XML or some kind of text list?
    e.g.
    Home
    My Account
    Products
    Downloads
    Help
    etc
    For example, a website uses a lot of images as H1 titles for things  such as 'My Account' & 'Downloads' etc. I have a large text list of  these. Is there a script or plugin, that will take this list a given a  selected size & type face, produce images as cropped down GIFs.
    The  correct size is the size of the title. For example, create a new  document -> type some text -> hold down cmd and click the T on the  layer -> this will create the selection, and select crop from the  image drop down. That's the size I'm after.
    I can create  an action to do the bit above, but I'm unsure of how to feed the text in  to photoshop 1 title at a time. I've looked at the jQuery Sifr plugin,  but the idiots want to use images
    Thanks
    Any help on this would be great.
    Thanks

    I don’t follow – what’s the input and what exactly is Photoshop supposed to put out?
    For example, a website uses a lot of images as H1 titles for things such as 'My Account' & 'Downloads' etc. I have a large text list of these. Is there a script or plugin, that will take this list a given a selected size & type face, produce images as cropped down GIFs.
    What size would be the »correct size« and how is Photoshop to deduce it?

  • Menu bar icons / clock (all but spotlight) are missing from menu bar

    I started woke my MacBook up from sleeping for a few days this morning and everything ordinarily on the right side of the menu bar save the spotlight menu has disappeared.
    I used to have a displays icon/menu, battery icon, network icon/menu, and clock displayed on the right side of the menu bar and they are now gone. If I go into the control panels for display, time, etc., to re-enable the menu bar icons, I can check the check box to display icon in menu bar, but the settings won't save! (Whenever I go back into the settings panel after making the change, the changes are reverted!)
    Its getting pretty frustrating. Anyone have any ideas please?

    Hello OCMacMerlin

  • Why is AirPlay status icon missing from menu bar?

    After updating to Mavericks and installing/configuring a new AirPort Time Capsule (APTC), no AirPlay icon was present in the menu bar of my Mac. I updated my Apple TV3 software and configured it to the new APTC network. An AirPlay status icon appeared in the menu bar for about 1 day only, and then disappeared. In the Apple TV settings, AirPlay is "On". On my Mac>System Preferences>Displays>Display>AirPlay Display menu (lower left) shows a greyed-out "No devices detected". My AppleTV light is on. Is there a known problem with APTC, or am I missing something?

    Cycle power on all of your devices (turn On first your 3rd party router then Time Capsule, then mbp and apple tv). Make sure that your MBP and Apple TV are connected to the same network.
    When router mode settings on Time Capsule are set to Bridge Mode, then router is resposible for distributing settings to all of your devices and could have some issues with it. Simply cycling power might resolve your problem.
    Some routers might require to be off for a bit longer (up to even 10mins). Try it.

  • SQL Developer 3.0.03  Code Editor Save Actions missing from menu

    I had just gotten a new notebook and installed latest version of Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.03. Seems Auto Save settings are enabled by default. I am prompted each time I switch off from SQL Dev to another app or window to Save the SQL code I am testing. I don't want to necessarily save it each time so I have to save or cancel each time I switch windows. I checked the documentation Help menu and it directed me to the Code Editor section > Save Actions menu to adjust settings. This category does not exist (or is not visible for me) to check settings and make changes. I am Admin on machine and installer of the app so not sure if it is some security setting I am not aware of. Or is this the wrong Help documentation for this version?
    This version is much different from older version I was using. Any thougts on this before I remove and re-install an older version?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    many thanks for your reply jim. i see the settings for 'prompt for save file on close'. this is checked by default and that is fine. if i have a sql worksheet open, as soon as i switch to another window (i.e. visual studio app), i get prompted to save the file. that is the strange behavior i've been seeing with this version.
    i will try to update to 3.0.04 and see if that resolves. i appreciate your help.

  • Export missing from menu

    When I click on an album and go to the Menu|Share..."Export" is missing. It was always there in iPhoto 08 and worked fine when exporting to my Picasa site. Any ideas? Thanks. I've made sure that sharing is enable in iPhoto preferences.

    How dumb...I can't believe I even posted this, and I knew better. I know it's been moved for a LONG time, and I even used the Picasa web albums uploader with v8. Thanks to both of you.
