***Bridge CS4 will not show a preview of my .CR2 files***

OK...
I have been searching the internet for a couple hours with no luck. Hopefully someone out there can help...
Equipment:
     Cannon Rebel Xti
     Adobe CS4
     ACR Plug-in 5.5 (latest update installed in its CORRECT place!)
When i open Bridge CS4 all my raw or .CR2 files dont have a preview. Im thinking it could be because the adobe website says that my Rebel Xti minimum ACR plugin is version 3.6? But dont all the later versions support it anyway?? So 5.5 should work right?? Im at a loss if you have any insight at all that would be great!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Robert
Had the same problem this worked for me.
start up bridge go to preferance/advanced and tick the selection Generate Monitor size previews.
Regards
Tony

  • CS4 will not read Canon 5D Mark2's CR2 files

    Bought the Canon 5D Mark 2 for christmas.
    Am running Bridge and PS CS4
    They will not read the camera's CR2 files
    The icon of CR2 shows in bridge but wont read the file
    I'm on a Mac

    Please help!

    If from within bridge you go to Help>Update that should find
    the camera raw 5.7 update and install it.
    Here's where you can manually download the camera raw 5.7 update if
    need be.

  • Bridge CS4 will not Launch

    Recently I tried to upgrade my Mac G4 Tower from OS 10.4 to OS 10.5 and it failed, even though I met all requirements. I had to reinstall 10.4 and now Bridge CS4 will not launch.  It worked fine before. I uninstalled PS CS4 and reinstalled it, I tossed prefs & cash files, I reset prefs but still no luck. Any suggestions before I strip down the whole HD and start from scratch?

    Any suggestions before I strip down the whole HD and start from scratch?
    My first go would be to buy a new HD and replace this with your current in
    the G4 and give a clean install of 10.5 to try if it will work.
    If you downgraded without a clean install from scratch you sure will end up
    with conflicting settings for applications.
    You could try to back up all custom settings, actions, tools etc and then
    deactivate the suite with erase serial number.
    Then find the clean tool for Adobe
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
    and run this script, it says CS5 but to my knowledge it also finds files for
    the CS3 and CS4 suite. Do a search for any adobe files from user and system
    library and delete those also. Then install the CS4 suite again.
    But again to be honest, you are using a computer that in current digital
    terms dates from the 'stone age' and in now way can cope with the needs for
    the use of digital files nowadays. It might be wiser to try and find a used
    MacPro (or even a used iMac with intel processor) that will give you much
    more profit in speed, disk space and processing  instead of investing more
    time and money in new disks and install procedures...

  • Bridge CS4 will not update to Camera Raw 5.7 on one of my computers.

    Bridge (CS4) will properly display my Nikon NEFs (from my Nikon D3 & D3S) on my old Mac Pro (Lion 10.75) but only the NEFs from the D3 are displayed on the exact same program on my MacBook Pro Retina - Mavericks).
    I have followed Adobe's instructions perfectly, over and over again, but no matter what I try (and I did try some variations) I cannot update from Camera RAW Preferences.Version 5.0.0.178 on the MacBookPro Retina.
    The Camera RAW preferences Version on the older Mac Pro computer's identical copy of Bridge CS4 is Version 5.7.0.213.
    I tried opening and installing a download of Camera_Raw_5_7.dmg from Adobe and I also tried dropping in the Camera Raw plugin file from the older computer but nothing works. I have emptied the cache several times.
    I dont know if this is significant but when I first started trying to do this, I could not find the Plug-Ins folder in the Adobe file on the MacBook Pro Retina, so I copied the one from the Mac Pro's Adobe folder.
    Please help. I can only use Bridge on my older desktop computer because of this problem.
    Thank you.

    Well, Jan, over the years I've helped many Mac users with this precise problem, and I even posted screen shots showing the path to the correct plug-in folder for ACR.  However, in your case all those images won't help and I won't be able to generate new ones for you for one simple reason: I do not use Mavericks and never will because my Mac Pro desktops cannot go above Lion, FORTUNATELY. Mavericks is still cr@p at this point.
    All I can do is try to clarify a few misconceptions for you:

    …I read that about the root level library when I first tried to follow the instructions from Adobe and I thought that I was doing exactly that. Instead of the library associated with my name, I found the library associated with my hard drive. I suspect that I have not yet even seen the root level library…
    Jan, that is the ROOT LEVEL Library.
    Getting back to your advice, I do not understand what you mean by mounting the .dmg file as if it were a DVD or external hard drive.
    I mean just that.  A Disk Image file (.dmg) is a virtual disk, like a virtual DVD.  You double click on that file in the Finder and it will then mount just as if you had inserted a DVD into your computer.  It will then show you the contents it carries.  I will not be at my computers for a few weeks, so I can't be sure about all that the Disk Image for that update shows; but somewhere in there will be the ACR Plug-in.  That's what you need to copy from the Disk Image to your hard drive and install it in its correct location, NOT THE BLOODY .dmg file, for goodness sakes!
    Do you understand that once you are at the ROOT LEVEL Library you DO NOT go to the Plug-ins folder therein?  Read the instructions again.  What you want is to continue the path through the Application Support folder /Adobe / Plug-ins / etc.
    This old screen shot may help. Command or Control-Click on the thumbnail to see the full image in a new window, then scroll horizontally; it is a VERY wide image:
    Also, if I delete the Plug-ins folder that I copied from my other computer's installation of Bridge CS4. Should I reinstall the entire CS4 suite from the original disks and start all over again. If so, I read somewhere that I will need to somehow deactivate my serial number from the products as installed on my MacBook Pro so that I may reinstall it.
    Delete anything you may have copied yourself only if you are 100% sure what that is. But DO NOT REINSTALL ANYTHING without first uninstalling using the Adobe UNINSTALLER that was installed in your Utilities folder inside your Applications folder.
    Whatever possessed you to go around copying folders from a different Mac OS version? ???  That is insane! Geez…
    Why the heck do you keep talking about Bridge? ??? !!!  Bridge has absolutely NOTHING to do with the installation of ACR.  NOTHING!
    ACR is installed at the OS level and can be hosted indistinctly by Photoshop or by Bridge from the same location.
    Bridge is totally out of the loop in this discussion, just as it is when you are using ACR hosted by Bridge.  All Bridge does is call upon the appropriate application, whether this be Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), Illustrator or even Microsoft Word and hand it the file, period.  You could use ACR for years without ever launching Bridge, even without having Bridge installed. Ever.

  • Saved file will not show up when trying to attach file in mail

    Sometimes... and only sometimes.. when I make a new file and then go back to my email or browser to attach the file it will not show in the place I saved it. If I click to list view SOMETIMES. I check the folder I saved it in and it's there.... .. go back to attach it.. it's not. Sometimes it will pop up if I toggle to column view then back to list view, but not always. Sometimes it's there the first time. Frustrating!!!

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    This sounds like a permissions problem. Have you recently Repaired Disk Permissions? Is the file saved on the same HD or partition where your Home folder resides?

  • Bridge and Photoshop CS4 will not recognise the images shot in NEF file

    Shot in Nikon D810 with NEF file but the images will not recognise with Bridge and Photo
    shop CS4

    That camera was recently supported for the first time by ACR 8.6, which needs at least CS6 to run.  You will never be able to open those raw NEF files in CS4, as there will never be an update for CS4.
    Your choices are to upgrade, or to use the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 on each and every batch of raw NEF files in order to convert them to raw DNGs that you can open in CS4.
    Mac:
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.6

  • Adobe Bridge CS4 will not launch ACR

    I'm getting this message when trying to open an image from Bridge CS4 in ACR,
    "Camera raw requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature"
    Any ideas how to cure this, I've downloaded the update 5.2.2., what is the correct location for this? Automatic update is just opening a box withe file in and I cant find the previous.
    By the way ACR opens fine from Photoshop CS4.
    Thanks
    Philip James

    Philip:
    This has been discussed in the Camera Raw Forum: you may need to install the new ACR 5.2 plug-in in the correct place manually.

    It works OK for me on Safari 7.1.2 (Mavericks) - are you using an older version? Try rebooting Safari to clear the cache (or command-option-e).

  • Cs4 will not load cannon 5d mark II raw files

  • Music will not show in library when imported from file

    To whom ever can assist me:
    Firstly, thanks for looking this over.
    I am attempting to import music files that I have already saved on my PC via Real Player (I saved the music from my music CDs, using Real Player as my default media player). These files are saved on my C: Drive, under "My Music", and saved in folders under each artist.
    Now, as I go into the iTunes icon, go into "File", and attempt to "Add file to Library", the songs are not being saved to my iTunes library. It allows me to find the song and double click on it, assuming I am opening it into the library, but it does not show.
    I have gone through a few forum questions to see if I could find the answer on my own, and understand that because my music is saved w/a Real Player icon, that I may have to convert it. But I am completely lost as to how to do this, and w/out having to resave the songs say, like on CD, then resaving on iTunes.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Sweet_Li, NYC
    Dell   Windows XP  

    If you've saved the songs as Real Player format then unfortunately iTunes will not copy those songs into the library. Because the extension is ".rm" which iTunes doesn't recongize.
    If the songs are saved with a .mp3 file then they should copy just fine.
    Hope that helps a little.

  • Bridge CS4 will not open

    Help, a few weeks ago I removed Bridge from my computer, I was looking for hard drive space. It turns out I need it for my Photoshop classes. I have removed and installed Photoshop several times, it says it has installed Bridge, but I do not have a Bridge folder or program, I tried to hold down the control key while starting Bridge, but nothing happens. I really need this program to work. I am using a Pavilion zd800 with P4 3gig, 1 gig memory, 100 gig HD. Thanks, P

    I would uninstall CS4 from the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, then run the  CS4 Clean Script. and finally re-install.

  • Built Flash Video and will NOT show in Hosted Environment

    Built Flash Video and will NOT show in Hosted Environment.
    The files generated work on development machine. I posted the same
    files in hosted environment and flash will not show. I first
    thought it was Vista 64 IE 7 so I switched to XP IE7 and same
    results. Still it is strange the falsh works locally. I am sure it
    is something simple that I am missing. Any help would be
    appreciated. Thank you.
    Stan

    Nickels55, I appreciate the response. Here are the
    interesting facts. I had my hosting provider apply the mime type
    and restart IIS. No flash video. I have Vista x64 Ultimate with I
    think IIS 7 (the default IIS that comes with the OS.) The flash
    video would not show in that environment until I applied the MIME
    and then it WORKED. Yeah! But I still don’t have it working
    on my web hosting provider with server Win2003. I thought it was
    the hosting provider but I posted on my work server Win 2003 and
    changed the MIME with a reset and could not get the video to work
    there either.
    I would like to try another angle here. Again I am using the
    wizard to encode and publish the flash video. Maybe I don’t
    have a settings correct. I can approach this a few ways.
    1.) I can send my video to someone to post on their Win2003
    server and see if they can get it going.
    2.) Someone send me a short 3 second video that they produced
    that they know it works on Win2003.
    3.) Any other ideas? Surely someone in this universe has used
    the flash wizard to encode a video and published to a Win2003
    server. :)
    I guess the other thing to note is when creating the flash
    video I chose no controls (play, stop, pause). I want the video to
    start when someone accesses the page for the first time.
    Thank you for the help everyone.

  • CR files will no longer show in bridge and will not load into PS

    Hi I had a problem with bridge CS6 dynamic link failing and had tech support finally help with the problem by phone They had me reinstall PSCS6 and Bridge among other things like setting the permissions differenty. It worked ok when I opened it again after those changes and then I closed the apps and opened them again the next day (today) but now the CR files will show no thumbnails nor previews in bridge and will not load into PSCS6.
    I get now the following error messages
    These are files that are on my system and not from a camera plugged into the computer. They had worked just fine before the reinstall and permisisons changes the tech had me do. They open in the preview app and look fine so I know they are not corrupted files and I have tried different saved versions of the same (or any other CR file) and none of them will now open and Camera raw itself seems no where to be found. My prefences in camera raw have not clanged. Any ideas??? thanks and aloha, UP
    I tried image processor in bridge to make them PS files and got the following error message.
    I tried to load one of the CR files from the finder dirretly and got the following error message.
    Any help would be appreciated. If the post goes inanswered I will call tech support  again. aloha UP

    HI, I managed to fix the trouble by reinsatalling once again and running updates BEFORE opening bridge. It seemed that if I ran the update AFTER opening bridge I would get either an up to date status when checking for updates or I would get an install failure notice on all 4 updates that were trying to install. The updates were for camera raw, bridge and PS. I can't explain why but that helped a little. I also changed permissions on my whole user accnt to include read/write for all users. I can't say if this helped or not. I also had to go into my camera B/U files on a sepate HD and replace some of the CR folders I was using o nthe desktop. Still the CR files would not show a thumb nor a preview till I then went to each individual file inside that folder and purged the cashe for that file so it could repopulate the cashe yet again. This has been the strangest few days in PSCS6 history! Well my personal history. I will report back here if more quirks emerge. I would prefer quarks though....aloha, U

  • Bridge CC is not showing Indesign CC 2014 file previews

    Bridge CC is not showing previews of InDesign CC 2014. I don't see an update for Bridge anywhere. What am I missing?

    Welcome to the forum,
    Not sure if it's the issue or if it will help, but you could try purging the cache, etc..
    http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/adobe-bridge-workspace.html
    Restore preferences
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.
    In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:
    Reset Preferences
    Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
    Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
    Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
    Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.
    If that does not help, you may try searching the Bridge forum or asking there.

  • Adobe Bridge will not show items in subfolder even when this option is checked.

    Adobe Bridge will not show items in subfolder even when this option is checked. It works on one computer but not the other-both working on the same system/ version of adobe cc.
    How can I fix this bug?

    Check to see what is different between setups.  You may want to reset prefences in the balky computer.
