Adobe Bridge Always Opens CS2

Recent thunderstorn activity caused several rapid cycling of power on and off to my computer. Now have some change in behavior as how Adobe Bridge and PhotoShop CS2 interact. Previously I could open Bridge (ver. 1.0.4.6) as a standalone app and make my raw edits. Now upon trying to open Bridge, CS2 always opens first and then Bridge. CS2 always remains in the background. I am not able to open Bridge as atandalone. While this is not a major problem, it is certainly different from the workflow to which I was accustomed. I reinstalled Bridge and ACR 3.7 but same symptons present. Should I reinstall CS2? Any ideas??

I never had CS2, but in CS3 open PS and in the preferences section there is an option to "start Bridge on login". I don't recall an option to start PS at startup.
Might check the OS startup preferences.
If all else fails you can reset the preferences for Bridge and Photoshop. Believe for CS2 you have to press and hold down the ctrl + alt + shift while clicking on icon to start program.

The lack of security updates requires me to update any old OS. Unless you never connect to anything on the Internet with the computer OR you never have anything to protect on your computer running such a computer leaves you open to theft, fraud, etc. The major problem with Mavericks and soon with OS X.X is unfamiliarity. Sure they have features we don’t like. But I bet so did the one you are running, when you upgraded to it.
Having said that I really got miffed when I was required to update my TV to work with digital signals. I have no trouble telling people to upgrade their computer, but ask me to upgrade my TV those were fighting words.

Adobe 9 always opens in a Maximized window

Hi
When opening a link in Internet Explorer 6 that opens a pdf, the pdf file opens in a maximized window. When clicking on a pdf file on the computer it will always open in a maximized window.
I have gone into the properties for Adobe and made sure that it is run in a Normal Window.
I have gone into edit > preferences and have not found any options where you can select whether to open in maximized window.
Is there a way to specifiy whether to open the files in a maximized window or, as in this case, to open the window in normal/restore down view.
Thank you
Charlotte

Charlotte,
I'm having the same problem using IE 8.
Did you ever get a resolution for this? I see no one ever responded to your post.
Thanks!

Can not open Adobe Bridge in Photoshop CS2

Adobe Bride is supposed to be included with Photoshop CS2, but there are no links to it when in Photoshop. File>Browse does not go to Bridge. I downloaded a new copy of Bridge from Adobe and installed it. There is still no link to Bridge in Photoshop, but there is a Bridge icon in the start menu. However, double clicking the icon gives the error "The program cannot start because the file libagluc28.dll is missing from your computer". However, a search for that file finds it in three locations: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Help Center, C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2, and C:Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat. Any ideas as to how to start AdBridge?

Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products, including Acrobat 7, because of a technical issue. These products were released more than seven years ago, do not run on many modern operating systems, and are no longer supported.
Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software. The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products.

Bridge CS4 always opens in the same folder

Since I upgraded to Photoshop CS4, Bridge always opens in the same
folder. It used to open up whatever folder I was working on last.
There must be a setting somewhere to tell Bridge to open the last
visited folder but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas?

Thanks Curt. That helped. I do have Bridge set to automatically start with Windows. I thought that shutting down Windows would cause Bridge to remember the last visited folder since Bridge was closed but I need to right-click on the Bridge icon in the system tray and exit before shutting down Windows. At least now I know why this was happening!

I just installed Adobe Bridge CC and it will not open? I uninstalled and reinstalled but still will?

I just started using the Adobe CC and downloaded a few of the products, I can get everything except the Adobe Bridge to open and run?

Ok, 6 hours later it's a fix for me!
Not sure if it'll work for you but it was quite simple.
Open Finder > (go) Computer > Macintosh HD (for me) > Users > Click once on the Home icon (main admin) > Get Info >
click on lock and authorise bottom right > click on cog wheel drop down > click on 'Apply to enclosed items' > OK
Close info window and try to open bridge
Did it work??????

Adobe Bridge CS4 & Downloader automatically open when I connect iTouch

Hello,
Does anyone know how to stop this? It's very annoying. I never want Adobe Bridge CS4 opening on my iTouch.
Thanks

This is happening because you have captured a screen grab on your iPod Touch. If you hold the top sleep button and the home button at the same time, it takes a screengrab of your screen.
When you plug the iPod Touch into your computer, the 'new' images get seen, and you are prompted to import them via whatever preferences you've set for any digital cameras you have.
As well as changing your preferences, you could delete the images from the iPod Touch if you don't want them.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
The entire line of Adobe products on my computer updated to the latest updates. Previously, a family of products Adobe Photoshop on your computer is not set. Computer - PC, Windows 7 Enterprises.

Bridge CS3 opens at wrong location

My older versions of Bridge always opened wherever I last closed it. Now it picks a file and stays there for about a week until it shifts to another file for another week. It's a time waster for me to have to reopen the file every time.
Any suggestions?
thanks!
Karen

Usually Bridge opens with the folder and workflow last open when quitting the application.
If not try resetting the preferences using shift + option + command keys while starting Bridge. Choose reset preferences and normally you should be OK.

Adobe Bridge CS3

Hello, All
I recently upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CS3 for serious image manipulation and realized Bridge would (Should!) solve some frustrations with iPhoto's organization characteristics (such as its inability to sort named filmrolls alphabetically other than by drag and drop). But I still want to use iPhoto as the primary application to view, slightly modify, create slideshows and email images, because sometimes Photoshop is overkill.
Bridge allows, in Preferences, to specify the application to open images, and defaults to Adobe Photoshop CS3. After browsing and changing the application to iPhoto, and navigating to an original photo in iPhoto/Library/Originals/FolderName, and then double clicking the image in Bridge, it opens the iPhoto application but then fails to open the image. The error message displayed is "the following file could not be imported. The file is in the iPhoto library," and then the path to the file is also displayed.
Well, of course the file is in the iPhoto library because that's what my Mac defaults to import all photos with (or did in the past, and I might change that).
So, if you have beared with me this far, my question is -- does anybody know how to make Adobe Bridge 3 open images in iPhoto properly? Obviously, I'm missing something, and would appreciate your help. Thanks.

You can use Bridge to view the Originals folder of your iPhoto library but you can't do any editing, moving, renaming, etc. as that's the same as Tampering with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. A big NO-NO. But you can view them and their metadata.
Bridge is primarily a browser with metadata capabilities associated with an editor. And, as PhillyPhan pointed out, is exclusive from iPhoto.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Cannot download Creative Cloud due to Adobe Bridge error

My Windows based computer will not allow me to download any of the CS6 products available through the Creative Cloud subscription. The error I continue to receive is that Adobe Bridge is open. I've since used the Adobe Cleanup Tool to delete my previous CS5 Master Collecter. I've also deleted the Bridge task in the task manager. I'm still getting the same error. I'm sure someone has an easy fix to this. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks John for your reply. After I made this post yesterday, I went back and gave it another try and everything worked out fine. I do believe it was a combination of using the Adobe cleaning tool, task manager AND rebooting several times that finally got my programs downloaded. And by the way, I running Windows 7.

Preview folder content in Adobe Bridge?

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if there was anyway to preview a folders content in Adobe Bridge without opening up the folder... i.e. picture(s) showing on the folder icon itself.
Thanks!

There is a workaround that is kind of labor intensive. Involves using putting images on the folder page then putting them in a stack with folder.

Problems w/ Adobe Bridge on a MAC

Hello People,
I just spent an entire WEEK with Adobe on the phone trying to solve the problem of adobe bridge not opening / working on a MAC. Nothing is working and adobe keeps putting me off, referring it to the next "level" of help. Their service is terrible. They promise to call me back at certain times and do not call back. They refer me to another level within thier departments and the supervisors don't honor their promises. I spend hours of time on hold. I am FEED UP with this problem and the lack of respect from Adobe.
They keep trying to change the "permission" files of read and write within the "users" and it is not working. They go around and around trying the same fix that does not work.
Does ANYONE have help? Has anyone found the correct level of help at Adobe?
Who at Adobe is actually knowledgable with fixing this problem?
How many of "us" are out there with the same problem?
We must unite and get this fixed.
All I can find is info that it can be fixed on a PC. I even called Mac and they have no help. They refer me to Adobe.
Please respond.
Thank you,
Amy
