PSE 9 Photo Downloader Hang on MAC

When I'm in the Downloader and I want to select a different folder to place my downloaded photos in I select "Choose". It goes to the proper window but hangs and won't let me choose a different folder. I have to "Force Quit" Photoshop Downloader to get back to the organizer or PSE. I'm using an IMAC

Photo Downloader hangs on my Mac

When downloading photos off a SD card, Photo Downloader will occasionally hang. Doesn't happen all the time. I need to go to Activity Monitor and Force Quit the Photo Downloader, which is showing the status Not Responding.
Photoshop Elements Organizer then hangs and I have to shoot this process as well. Also showing Not Responding. Restart Photoshop Elements Organizer and can see the photos that have been imported.
Current version of Photoshop and MacOS.
Any suggestions?
Thanks...David

Hi David
Does it make any difference if Organizer is already open? Rather than launching from the welcome screen, try double clicking the Organizer app from finder. Then press Cmd+G to bring up the downloader and connect your camera/device.

Photoshop 7 photo downloader hangs in windows 7

I am using windows 7 after upgrading from XP. I have tried both using autoplay and the file-import-camera option once photoshop is running. Both of these options cause the photo downloader to hang and display the message "loading device list.... Please wait." I have read a few discussions saying this is a known bug with version 7 on a 64 bit system. I have tried running photoshop using the compatibility option for windows XP SP2 and SP3 with the same hanging results.
Is there anything that can be done to allow the photo downloader to work properly in windows 7?

This is just a note to sympathize with you. I have a related problem with PSE-7 and Windows 7 and can't use the, "Get Photos From Files and Folders", command, nor can I drag and drop photos into the organizer. In my case I need to use, "Get Photos by Searching". You might try this a a temporary work around, until somebody comes up with a better solution. In your situation you would copy the photos from your camera card into the folder where they would ultimately reside first, then do the search.

PSE 6 error in Photo Downloader 4

So Greatful for the support!!! One issue solved and onto another. I just got my editor to load by upgrading my printer drivers. But when I try to open my photoloader it opens and then when the "Loading Device List ....Please Wait" message comes up and it hangs up and eventually sends an error message or just hangs. I don't really need the photoloader but it might be nice to utilize it and skip using other programs. Hope there is some information for a repair. Thanks P
Error messaage: PSE 6 has encountered a problem with Photo Downloader 4 and must close.
PS Thought I would post again and say I tried several of options that I found in the search, with no success. I finally did the Regedit (I am always concerned messing with that!!) and sofar it looks like it is no longer loading!
Thanks goes to : David _ J_Dennehy

Hi,
I guess, the twain driver installed recently is causing the problem.
Please follow the following steps:
1. Go to C:\Windows\twain_32
2. If you find any file with .ds extention (except wiatwain.ds), remove it from this location.
3. Relaunch Photodownloader.
This should solve the problem.

Problems transferring photos from iphone to mac, iphoto says there is nothing to download...

Hi, I need to transfer photos from iphone to mac. My mac can 'see' my iphone with iphoto open, but the box says there are no photos to download. Could anyone help me please? This has never been a problem before (it was fine about 2 weeks ago). I've tried turning both devices off and have spent a couple of hours trying to search for this problem on the internet. I can't remember when I updated to OS 7.1 but I guess that was recently; could this be the problem? Thank you so much.

This has nothing to do with iOS 7.1
Is your phone unlock when it is connected to your Mac?

PSE8 for Mac: Convert to DNG in Bridge Photo Downloader fails

Using PSE8 for Mac. When I get RAW photos from Bridge and specify "Convert to DNG" in the advanced options of the Photo Downloader, the RAW files download but the conversion to DNG fails for every image. I can successfully convert using the standalone DNG Converter, but I would like to use the option in the Photo Downloader that comes with Bridge. I'm in touch with Adobe Support on this but not having a lot of luck. Has anyone had this problem or know what to do?
Also, I cannot see the RAW images either in the Photo Downloader or in Bridge. They show up as blue squares with a flower graphic on them in the Downloader, and as white squares in Bridge. I can only see images once I open them in Elements. Is this normal?

Also, I cannot see the RAW images either in the Photo Downloader or in Bridge.
This is the source of your problem. You need to update the raw converter in bridge, which ships with a very old version (5.0). In bridge, go to help>updates and let it do its thing.

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.

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.

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?

HT4927 I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there. Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing

I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there. Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
That means you imported one Library to another.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
So, what to do?
Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.

PSE 7 Downloader won't store photos on network drive

I'm running PSE7 on a Windows XP Media Center SP2 machine. Both my PSE catalog and my actual image files are located on a drive mounted as drive letter P: from a NAS device. This configuration worked great in PSE5. PSE7 doesn't seem to have any trouble working with the catalog on this drive, nor does it have a problem opening existing photos from folders on this drive. However, when I try to specify my P: drive as the "Save Files In" destination on the PSE7 Camera or Card Reader Preferences dialog, it tells me "Cannot write to specified directory", and won't let me choose it. Write permission on the mapped drive is wide open, and if I open a file in the PSE7 editor and try to save it somewhere on the P: drive it works just fine. How do I convince the downloader that P: is an acceptable place for it to put the downloaded files?
Thanks,
Tim

I tried changing the download destination in the Photo Downloader window, with the same results: "Cannot write to specified directory".
I notice that even though I've configured the NAS device to allow wide open read/write access to the folder in question, and all Windows users are in fact able to read/write files in that folder, when I check the permissions for the network folder from the Properties | Security tab, none of those Windows users appear to have write permission. Perhaps this is just due to the way the permissions assigned by my non-Windows NAS device are represented in Windows, but I wonder whether PSE 7 is looking at those same settings and using them to decide the folder's not available for downloading. I suspect that if I were attempting to specify a folder shared from another Windows box, I wouldn't have this problem, although I don't have a good way to test this at the moment...

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.

How many photos can i download on a mac pro?

how many photos can i download on a mac pro?

That's like asking how many cows can I get into a field. It depends on the size of the field, size of the cows, the terrain of the field, etc. We could use a bit more information on what you're trying to accommplish:
1 - where are the photos being downloaded from.
2 - how big are the photos?
3 - where are you going to put the photos, i.e. into folders, into an iPhoto library?
4 - how big is the hard drive in the Mac Pro and how much free space do you have on it?
etc., etc, etc......

Can I store photos from ipad while travelling for later download to my mac desktop

can I store photos from ipad while travelling for later download to my mac desktop

If you mean by using photo stream, you can but iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days. You will need to download them to your Mac during this 30 day window or they will no longer be available.
Or, just leave the photos in the camera roll on your iPad until you return, then import them to iPHoto on your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
