I have over 300 .avi files that need to be moved into folders in my favourites (left column) but i keep getting a Moving file message that doesn't move past 0%. Does anyone know why  its happening or how to achieve my goal?

Hi, @Kirsten35837203qgz0, are you trying to move the files or the folder containing the files. If you're doing the former, try doing the latter. Also, be aware that a new folder can only be added below the default folders.

thanks Gary, I am trying to move individual .avi files to folders for the correct date.

OK, thank you for the video, it was VERY helpful. 

 

#1 – I'm not sure what's going on because you are IN that folder but having issues with it. 

 

so, let's go back to basics, have you done the following?

 

Go into the System Preferences and select the Privacy & Security tab on the left. Note that there are two options on the right you'll need to deal with: "Files and Folders," and "Full Disk Access."

 

First, going into Files and Folders, note that in various years of different releases of Adobe Bridge, different needs are needed. I do not know why this is, but it's always better to check and make sure that just because you did it for one release, you may or may not need it for a subsequent release.

 

 

Lastly, go into the Full Disk Access option. If you do not see your application in the list, click on the "+" symbol at the very bottom of the window. This will bring up a standard Finder window. Navigate to your Applications Folder, find Adobe Bridge, and add it to the list (You will need to add your Administrator's password to do this.). Then you can "switch" it to the "ON" position. 

 

I'm guessing here, let me know if that works or not.

 

And OK, you have a British accent. Where are you from? I'm in California USA.


thanks Gary, the last step worked.  so I can now move each file but only individually.  Its slow but I am kinda loving watching each little video.

I am from Australia, so Aussie accent 🙂

You have been a legend.  Thanks for your help.
