PSE-11 Getting "Adobe Photo Downloader Error c0000005"

Machine: HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 and all updates applied
Processor: Intel Core i3 CPU 2.53GHz
RAM: 8GB (7.8 GB Usable)
Camera 1: Cannon Power Shot SX120 with a sanDisk 2GB SD card
Camera 2: Nikon D5000 with a Toshiba 32 GB SDHC card
OK I have been using the Adobe Photo Downloader ever since PSE 8 (I think) and never had a problem until now.
This is going to be a long post so please read the whole thing before replying.
Scenario: Took SD card from camera 1 and inserted it into the card reader slot on my laptop. Downloaded jpeg files into PSE11 without any problems. Removed SD card from reader and put it back into camera 1.
Tood SD card from camera 2 and inserted it into the same card reader slot on my laptop. Adobe Downloader opened and started to show the thumb nails of the pictures on the card (Raw format). After a few seconds I got the following message:
Adobe Photo Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Error Code: c0000005
Address: 76f73ac3
I clicked on the OK button and the downloader closed.
I then tried to download from the organizer. I got the same error. Before clicking on ok I was able to get te downloader as the current window and noticed that the 4 AVI files I had on the SD card had the hour glass symbol on them and not a picture as other times.
I then moved these 4 AVI files to a holding folder on my hard drive with windows explorer.
I then tried to download the pictures from the SD card one more time, it worked just fine.
I guess I have several questions:
Q1: I did a search on this error code (c0000005) and there seems to be a workaround but no solutions, why is this? I ask that because this problem seems to be years and years old, going back to at least 2005 (do the math that is 8 years).
Q2: I have downloaded AVI files taken with Camera 2 before without any problems, why am I getting this error all of a sudden? Before you ask the only difference is the version of PSE, I do not think I have downloaded any AVI files since installing PSE11.
Q3: I guess I do not have a third question, but if I think of one I will post it here.
Any help will be appreciated. Again I apologize for the long post.

I don't even have the Camera hooked up and I get this error on download. I redownloaded everything and reinstalled. I allso saw the AVI issues reported with this proble so i updated Quicktime though without the camera being hooked up when I get this error I didn't expect that to work. I tried support and they wouldn't help because I bought it in March this year. Pretty frustrating as I have re-purchased Elements about every 2 years. I think I might need a new CODEC? I had this problem on an Earlier version And I seem to remember that being the Fix but this may be something completely different

I finally found that it was missing a picture so the Catalog was "corrupted". I just deleted the picture and it started working.
I hate Adobe and their total lack of support - thanks for nothing Adobe . Also get this - they offered me to upgrade to 13.0 ( My 12.0 is only 6 months old but they still don't support it on errors. Only install errors!
I have upgrade and repurchase this product 4 times now. I will find something else next time!

Help with Adobe Photo Downloader in PSE 7?

I do not allow PSE 7 to "see" pictures all over my hard drives; I have ONE watched folder called "my picture collection", in which are stored all of my "final copy" pictures, and these are the only pictures in "my catalog".
Since I am using Photoshop Elements to edit, and tag pictures, etc, I would like to use it to get photos from my Camera....however...
I want to import pictures from my camera, or scanner, to a different folder then my "watched folder", to a folder called "my Pictures F drive". I do this because these may be photos I DO NOT want in "My Catalog", such as today, pictures of the insides of an engine.
I can tell Adobe Photo Downloader NOT to open the Organizer after importing the pictures to whatever folder I wish, and organizer does not open; BUT, I am informed that the next time I open PSE 7, the Organizer will display these pictures, which it does. this is what I do NOT want; I don't want Organizer importing these pictues, and including them in "My Catalog" just because I used Photo Downloader to get them from my camera to a completely unrelated folder; NOT my "watched Folder". Is there any way of stopping Organizer from importing ALL photos handled by Photo Downloader?? If I want photos in "My Catalog", I move them into the "Watched Folder", and THEN I want Organizer to find them, and open them up for tagging etc (which it does). I can't find any way of doing this in "Preferences", or options in Photo Downloader. (The alternative would be to use a different program to get the pictures from the Camera, or scanner). Thanks for any assistance!! Maybe I am not seeing something obvious??

I have an older version of Elements, and in that the downloader always runs in the background when it is enabled via preferences. I found this to be annoying and, therefore, disabled this feature.
My workflow is:
I use a card reader to import pictures from camera card to an empty folder on the desktop
Next, I burn a CD before I do anything else. This is my "film" - can always go back to retrieve an accidentally deleted file.
Then, I delete the obviously poor pictures from the desktop folder - motion, unflattering pose, etc.
Finally, I manually import the "keepers" into organizer, tag them, etc.
You could adapt this scheme to import into the organizer only the pictures which meet the test for what you call "my picture collection", i.e. those pictures which have been enhanced .
In the older version of Elements, the organizer allows one to make a collection. I believe that it called something else in PEv.7, but it is still there. The advantage of this is that you can assemble a group of photos for a particular purpose, which you do. It also allows you to define the order of the photos in the collection by dragging them into position. Suggest that you consult the help file re same.

Adobe Photo Downloader stopped working; can't import from a DVD?

I use Premiere Elements 4 (loaded with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6) on Windows Vista.
When I attempt to import video from a DVD (via Get Media > DVD import) I am unable to do so and the message
ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER HAS STOPPED WORKING is produced by Windows.
I would value any help with this problem!
Many thanks, Don Varleyhall

Well, if it was produced in an Adobe program, then it should be 100% DVD-compliant. The menuing structure should not be an issue, as it can with other programs (Roxio and Nero come to mind), or from a DVR-DVD unit. I have never seen one of those that did a DVD-compliant disc.
This might point to something else going on.
As a test, grab, or create a short Project in PrE with Menus, and then Burn it to Disc. Test this back in PrE, and see if it behaves exactly the same way. If not, then something might be odd with your first disc, or there could be some other issue. If the Importer fails again, I'd think about doing a Repair Install.
If the test works, the first thing that I would do would be to Copy your DVD-Video. One can use the free burning utility, ImgBurn to do this, if they do not have Roxio, Nero or some other DVD Copy utility.
As a thought, there are a lot of other programs, that can get in the way of many operations in PrE. You might find some tips on setting up your computer for an editing session, in this ARTICLE. Then, test with your DVD again.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe Photo Downloader

I just purchased and installed Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. The first thing I want to do is get rid of the Adobe Photo Downloader that has appeared in my system tray. How do I get rid of this thing? No amount of twiddling with the settings in Lightroom seems to get rid of it. I don't have any other Adobe products that would install this thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can, but I don't want the program to load at all. To update, I just inserted a memory card with RAW images, and Lightroom started up even though I had set it to "Do Nothing" when a memory card has been imported. Also, I see that there is an "Import From Elements" option under the File menu. However, the manual indicates that this should not be an option for me as I DON'T have Photoshop Elements or Photoshop Album installed. As a matter of fact, this computer is a fresh installation of XPMCE2005 especially prepared for todays install of Lightroom.
Lightroom, at least for my install, appears to be troubled, and I am already, unfortunately, disappointed with my first day's experience. The BETA version was much less troublesome for me.

After reinstalling CS6 the bridge photo downloader isn't able to read raw files and fails to convert the raw files to DNG. Previously downloaded raw files, now DNG, open up successfully in Camera Raw 7. How do I get the photo downloader to read and convert raw files. MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. No such problem before this reinstallation.

You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

I always get a retry download error

I have an ipad air. ever since I upgraded to IOS 8 I always get a retry download error. What's going on with this one?

I hope it works for you too.
Please download and run Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
Run Creative Cloud Cleaner tool and choose option 3 and then option 1 to complete the cleaning process.
Once done please rename OOBE Folder from these locations
Windows :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
C:\Users\(UserName)\AppData\Local\Adobe
Go to creative.adobe.com -> Download Center -> Download Creative Cloud
or
I'm on MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.5.
They first had me go to ~/Library/Applications support/Adobe/OOBE and delete the file "opm.db" .... Creative Cloud issue remained.
Then they asked me to go to ~/Library/Applications support/Adobe and rename the folders "AAMUpdater" and "OOBE"... and go to Library/Applications support/Adobe (note it's a different path) and remane the folders "AAMupdater" and "AAMupadaterInventory"... issue still remained.
They also had me go to my Netwrok Prefrences, Proxy server to Configure, and enusre all boxes are unchecked, and "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" also unchecked... did not help, issue remained.
Of course they had me unistall then reinstall the Creative Cloud application, which I did (Applications>Utilities>Adobe installer and run the "Uninstall Creative Cloud")... but the issue remianed.
Finally, they had me visit this page on Apple's support page, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528
and enabled the root user for OS X Lion.
After enabling the root user (and creating a new password for it), I rebooted my Mac
Logged in my Mac once as "root" and logged in to Adobe Creative Cloud using my usual Adobe username/email and password.
Went to the "Apps" tab, and it worked perfectly!
I logged out of root on my Mac, then logged back in as myself.
Launched the Creative Cloud app, logged in and went to "Apps"... works just fine!

I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air. I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message. I've signed out of iTunes and back in. I've updated my software. I have plenty of room for them on the Air. Help?

I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air. I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message. I've signed out of iTunes and back in. I've updated my software. I have plenty of room for them on the Air. We are taking a long flight this week, and I wanted to have something new to watch. I've read through lots of threads on this but I can't seem to find a good solution that I haven't tried.
If I can get them to download them on my iMac computer, can I then transfer them to my iPad? How is this done? (Please pardon an older lady's ignorance, and thank you for any assistance!)

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 ;-}

Adobe Photo-Downloader, can't reactivate it after changing driveletter of CF-card

Hi all,
I have a problem with the reactivation of the Adobe Photo-Downloader and don't know how to solve it.
After I have changed the driveletter of the CF-Cardreader to drive B the downloader wouldn't recognice the insertion of a CF-Card. When I start it manualy there comes the message "not files found".
In the explorer I see the card and the files; under "computerverwaltung" -> "Datentraegerverwaltung" (sorry, I don't know the english words) I can also see the CF-Card.
It is the same, when I change the driveletter. What can I do to reactivate this ?
System: Windows XP pro
Lightroom 1.0
all windows updates
1 GB memory

That happened to me until I did an Import in LR, then the auto-load worked every time after that.
