Trouble with Adobe Bridge CS5.5 for Mac Lion Photo downloader

Hi, I am having trouble with  CS5.5 Bridge's photdownloader when I am trying to choose a folder location.
Im using Lion / Mac
When I try to choose say an external drive or another folder location it will freeze up and stay on "Choose" the button flashes on and off but when i try to click it it will not respond or select the desired file location
The photodownloader does not respond to any other commands..i have to force quit it..yes i have re-booted..re-started and problem remains..
The only way i can download photos is by choosing the first file option of the pictures file on my harddrive which is not want I wish to do..i have noticed that this started happening after the Raw update..was wondering if this is affecting Photodownloader..
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..thank you

Thank you, SG, for clarifying which OS's this will work with.
I agree with Jennie - the beauty of "get photos from camera" is that it takes 2 steps out of the workaround you mention above. Personally, I'm okay living with 6.4.1, as I have an older camera. I won't be happy if one of the push updates re-updates me to 6.5 though. I wouldn't want to redo the reinstallation of the new version. This method will not work for any of my clients or students though - they normally can't comfortably follow the technicality of downgrading, and some have newer cameras and would need the 6.5 version. (I don't believe in betas for my clients, and neither do they, for the most part)
I guess I should thank Adobe - some of my clients have needed tech support to perform the downgrade (SO many people aren't comfortable technically), and some of my clients needed to be retaught the workaround SG mentions. Adobe's flub has actually made me a little money - which I'd rather not have to make this way.
SG's workaround does work and makes sense - but for my clients with hundreds of images at a time, who have to rename items, add copyright info, & etc., this more than doubles their work-time for the start of their workflow. I hope Adobe gets that GM version out soon.
BTW - this issue supports an argument I've hadfor years regarding "PUSH" updates. I always tell my clients and students not to do them until they research the update. Because of what I do, I do have to install them personally, but I'm grateful I'm comfortable fixing things myself.

  • Trouble with Adobe Digital Editions for Mac - please Help

    I just got a Kobo Glo and am trying to download/install the Adobe Digital Editions software on my Mac but I am running into issues: (I not very versed in computers so I hope someone can walk me through my issues slowly)
    I tried to download the Adobe Digital Editions software and got a screen saying installation was complete, I appear to have Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 and Adobe Digital Editions icons in my applications folder, when I go to open the Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 Icon I am taken to a "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it.
    I do not know how to open the Adobe Digital Editions actual software so I can access the "set up assistant" to authorize my computer??????????????? It does not seem to want to open on it's own and I have no idea how to find it.  I do have an Adobe ID.
    I thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide. Once again I am not very computer literate so please be very specific.

    When you have ADE (digital editions) open with  "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it,
    enter cmd-shift-U, or menu/Help/Authorize Computer.
    That will ask for your Adobe ID and password and authorize the computer.
    Once that has been done you shouldn't need to do it again.
    Sometimes you do need to if things go wrong, but you certainly shouldn't have to do it at all regularly.
    When that has been done, plug in the Kobo; it should show up in the left pane of ADE.
    Use "menu/Help/Authorize Device" and that will authorize your Kobo with the Adobe ID from the Mac.
    You can then copy books by drag-dropping onto the Kobo within ADE

  • I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac-OS, can this be used on a PC?  I'm wanting to load onto a PC/laptop.

    I have a version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac OS, which I use on my desktop.  I've recently purchased an HP laptop, is there a way to use my licensed CS5 version of Photoshop on my new HP PC?

    No, the CS5 software is operating system-specific and even if you were willing to trade for the Windows version you could not at this point due to that only being possible for the latest. release, CS6.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac install problem.

    I just purchased Adobe Photoshop CS 5 for Mac and installed it on December 17, 2013. Last week I updated to a new harddrive. I am trying to re-install Photoshop and the disc asks all the usual questions: serial number, Adobe ID, Adobe Password, then the disk kicks out and says done. I open the applications folder and the Adobe Photoshop folder only has one file with 30 KB. Obviously, Photoshop will not open.

    I was concerned that Adobe Photoshop CS6 would require me to update my computer to Mac OS 10.8. I updated from Mac OS 10.6.8 to 10.7.5 and lost my old InDesign and my old Photoshop. I purchased InDesign CS6. I read online that Photoshop CS6 was having problems with Mac OS 10.7.5 so I went with Photoshop CS5. I went to Best Buy and Simply Mac to try and purchase the program. They both told me to just go online and buy it. Nobody said go directly to Adobe. The problem is that I am just a homeowner that is not in the know about all these products. My wife is a school teacher and I could have purchased an education version. I thought, no I will just go ahead and purchase the full retail version.
    The problem with Adobe is they think everyone is a computer geek and knows all about operating systems and programs. I am just a normal homeowner that is being taken advantage of by Adobe. Adobe manufactured and sold this product to a retail dealer. The product I purchased has never been licensed and I paid full retail for it. Now Adobe will not stand behind it!

  • Trouble with Adobe Bridge

    Hi,
    It appears that the instllation of Adobe Bridge did not function with my Cretive Cloud downloads and installs...
    Bridge does not appear as an application or anywhere within my Mac's directory structure (OS X Lion).
    Is there anyway to reinstall it?
    Thanks!

    Hi Eric,
    I've moved your question from the Photoshop Beginners forum to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum. I hope you get the answer you need!

  • Does Adobe Premiere CS5 for Mac support .m2ts (AVCHD) video?

    I am trying to import video files encoded into the .m2ts (AVCHD) format into Adobe Premiere CS5 on my Mac.  Does the Mac version of Premiere CS5 support .m2ts (AVCHD) video formats?  I am currently testing this with the trial before I get this new version for the Mac.  Could using trial be the problem that even CS5 Premiere doesn't open it on my Mac?  Do I need the full version?  Thanks.

    The trial does not support AVCHD for either platform.
    Now, the full-paid version has no limitation, AND Adobe offers a 30-day, money-back guarantee, so if you do not like it, you can return it for a full refund, within 30 days.
    Good luck,

  • Trouble with forms not fuctioning for Mac users

    I have created a form in LC Designer that works great on PC, but doesn't work on on Mac. Or rather doesn't work on all Mac machines.  I have tested the form on two different Mac machines in my office and it seems to work fine.  However, those outside the office are not able to save the completed form or allow the user to use the email submit button.  Is there something I can do to make this user-friendly for Mac users?

    The email button function is the least of the issues.  The fonts and type size are altered, parts of the form drop out and the form fields appear to be blank until you click on them.  Upon click the information then appears.  It's really very odd. 
    Additionally, they can not save the form to their desktop.  I thought that this was me forgetting to enable user rights, but that was not the case.  At the moment, Mac users can only print the form and fax it.
    Thanks,

  • Incorrect text size in Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac?

    Hey all,
    I am posting this for an older gentleman who is a photographer and uses Photoshop on his Mac. His iMac runs OSX 10.9.3 and he uses version 12.0.4 X64 of Photoshop CS5. I noticed when I was to his place the other day giving him tutoring sessions that his Photoshop has issue with displaying text sizes incorrectly...
    For example, we took one of his scanned image files of a slide and changed it's resolution lower so he could send it to a journalist for an article. He wanted to add his name, a date, and a copyright symbol down in the corner of the image....fine. However, the text is showing up as what LOOKS like 12-point, but we have it set to 0.3!!!! It's VERY frustrating! I read many people had issues with this and fixed it by updating, but his Adobe Updater program says there are no newer versions of Photoshop available for him to update to...? Can anybody tell me how to fix this issue for him or point me in the right direction? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!!!
    Cheers and thanks!

    Having type set to the default Points, can be problematic IMO, and I always set it to Milimeters in Preferences > Units & Rulers > Type.  That way I know that if my image size is, say 10 inches high, and I choose a Type size of 25, it will be one tenth the height of the image regardless of resolution (ppi).

  • Copy Paste problem thru Bridge CS5 for Mac

    Was attempting to copy and paste a few images from Bridge, onto the desktop.  First one went fine, second and all subsequent attempts failed, as when attempting to paste I received an error message that showed the Paste feature thinking I am trying to paste the first image again (thus showing as a duplicate, and asking if it should over-write the first paste).  Tried emptying the Cache via Bridge, to no avail.  Stumped.  Thanks for any help...
    This is the error message when trying to paste.  Shows the previous file name even though a completely different named file was copied:

    Charles, thank you.  I was doing it using the OS clipboard, unaware that Mac can only hold one item.  Doing it the way you suggested, worked like a charm! 
    As an aside, how does one clear the OS clipboard, as from this experience, it does not automatically do so, when the next item is copied.
    Once again, MANY THANKS!!

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 for mac: export modules, facebook export module gives an error every time i try to sign in

    in the export module for facebook every time i click "sign in to facebook" it gives the following error: "An error occurred while request facebook connection"

    "An error occurred while request facebook connection"
    The export module has been discontinued in Bridge CC and as long as it has been there the option for social media has worked only for FB in a few countries. Due to rights management (as we where told) there where restrictions for most other countries. But if it did work for you in the past you should try click on FB in export module or use the tiny menu icon in the export panel for preferences and try to set up a new connection.
