Bridge (cs6) on mac computer

Question

Im running Bridge (cs6) on my mac computer and have been doing this for long time. Since last week Bridge is coming up with a message: "Bridge encountered a problem. Try to empty cache." After doing the application crashes. If I dont try to empty cache, application crashes anyway.

Answer 1

To recap ... Bridge opens OK ... but when you select a file or image ... it starts 'Building Criteria" and then CRASHES.
Quit Bridge and find your user library (by default hidden per OSX 10.7, for quick reveal use menu Go and press option, this brings the user library in view)
follow this path: user(your username) / library / preferences and inhere find and delete the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist". Then in same library go to the folder Caches / Adobe / Bridge CS6 and inhere delete both the plugin and the folder called cache.
All files will refresh itself with new and empty ones as per first install. Now again hold down option while restart Bridge and again choose reset preferences.
This provides you wit a new Bridge that needs to recache the files again so this will takes a bit of time and also your custom wishes for the preferences should be set again.
Also consider using the Apple Disk utility or a maintenance application like Cocktail and choose check and repair permissions.
Then consider the upgrade to the last week released 10.8.3 using the combo update that you can find under support on the apple website instead of using the app store to upgrade to 10.8.3.
