Downloading Pics in Mac El Capitan

I encountered this problem today. THIS WORKS for me while Adobe and Apple sort things out: On Mac in OS X El Capitan, go to Finder, select Applications, launch Image Capture. It recognized my D810 (also worked with my iphone5S). I selected images from the D810 and specified where to file them. Then went to Bridge and checked: everything is there and fine and I'm editing as usual. Hope this helps others.

Seems like this is a problem whenever there is a new OSX and it will take time before it is corrected. In the meantime I am able to transfer the photos from 5dmii via cardreader or the eos utility 2.14.10

The SAME problem. Anybody got a solution? PLEASEEEE...

I contacted Apple Support.  They were able to show me two places to turn off the auto-start up of Photos when an SD card from my Nikon is present.  Then the SD card began showing in Finder and I have been able to drag/copy photos into my usual photos file location and use Bridge to access them. 

I have the same problem, seems that Im not the only one, I usually use Bridge for my iPhone and my Canon and they worked perfectly with Yosemite. I installed El Capitan one week ago and everything works perfectly except this. I won't be upgrading to CC so I guess is time for me to re think about my relationship with Apple's Photo app. Time to change.

I guess until the issue is fixed you could either use a usb card reader or use Image Capture.

The card reader is my preferred method anyway instead of always connecting one's camera directly to your mac and having the battery run out when transferring the photos.

I have the problem as well. I cannot download photos from my Nikon D7200, but there was no problem in Yosemite. Apple Photos grabbed the camera on the first try. I killed it, but Bridge still didn't see the camera. I checked the box in Photos to tell Photos not to download from this device, but Bridge still doesn't see the camera. This is a real nuisance.

I have same problem after upgrading OS to ElCapitan, Bridge Photo Downloader wont recognize SD card in slot.

I have upgraded to El Cap and now PS Elements V13 won't get pictures from my iPhone or Canon 7D Mark 2.  Worked no problem in Yosemite.  Very frustrating!

I posted the same question earlier today...only difference was that I use a Nikon D800.  I called Apple, they really jumped through a couple of hoops for me however to no avail.  I could not find anyone at Adobe to speak with but I did get a written response that asked me, in so many words, to clear the cache moving the content to the recycle bin and empty it...I did this.  While on the phone with Apple they did the same thing.  Neither worked. I ended up, with Apple's assistance, using Time Machine going back a few hours and reinstalling Yosemite.  The earlier state continues to work like a champ...no problems at all.  I won't load El Capitan again until there is an appropriate solution from Adobe or Apple that successfully addresses issue. Good Luck!
