Why do many of my Camera Raw Actions give a 'currently unavailable' pop-up? I'm running Photoshop version 24.4.1

A PS action that uses ACR plugin?

With some other plugins, you have to rerecord the action when a new (major) version is installed. As ACR is also a plugin, maybe some version requires that too. If your actions are a few years old, maybe the new ACR design required it.

OTOH, I have ACR actions too and didn't have that problem, I think.

Please try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps described here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences

Please backup your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#backup-photoshop-preferences

 

You can also try to reset your ACR preferences. 

Hold down the Command key and select Photoshop > Preferences > Camera Raw (MacOS) or hold down the Ctrl key and select Edit > Preferences > Camera Raw (Windows).

Click Yes in the dialog that asks "Delete the Camera Raw Preferences?

 

If this doesn't help please desribed more detailed what you try to do.

What has been changed on your system before the error occur?

Maybe you can post your Photoshop system info. In Photoshop goto Help > System Info and hit the copy button. Then paste the entire informations into this thread.

I guess I did post that I was working with Camera RAW. I still have issues with actions there as well. Many of them say 'currently unavailable.' I just figured that the bundle I purchased was the action itself did not work … nothing wrong with RAW. I’ve reached out to them but have received no response to date.

If you've purchased actions (.atn) documents that don't work, you'll have to contact whoever created them. It is possible they no longer work after an update to Photoshop that changed since they were built.
