Bridge won't refresh to see image files on cards

Bridge CS4. Win 7 Pro 64 bit
I put a card in the reader and Bridge sees the volume label but nothing else. No sub folders or image files either in the sub folders or at the root.
Pull the card out. It goes away in the folder list.
Refresh--no help.
I have to shut down Bridge then restart it to see the card and it's contents-but ONLY if the card is in the reader when Bridge starts.
I can put the card in a different reader that's on a different USB channel and it's the same thing.
Windows Explorer will automatically refresh and see everything that's on the card. So the cards and readers are fine.
If I use Bridge's File| Get Photos from Camera import function, it sees the files just fine.
It's just that the Folder view is worthless. The ONLY way it will work is to have the card in the reader when Bridge starts.
So if I change cards, I have to shut Bridge down, swap cards, start Bridge up again. What a pain.
Is there anyway to get this thing to refresh?
Yes, I tried F5.
I tried going to the top of folder structure and refresh.
It's just the folder view that will not update. It will not see ANY memory card that is placed into that reader until it is shut down and re-started while the card is in the reader. And it's the same problem, with different readers on different USB channels. It's definately a Bridge problem.
What's going on? Anyway to fix this.
Thanks all.
T.O.

Good idea, but no dice.
I don't have it do that.
By the way, this is a clean fresh install of Win 7 Pro 64bit and Photoshop/Bridge CS4.
I built my own computers and am a fanatic about what gets installed and loads, so it's as clean as it can get with minimal junk running.
Anyone else got any ideas.
Or, does anyone else have this problem?
Can anyone else pull cards (the same card) in and out of the reader and Bridge does fine with seeing the images in the folder view?
Thanks
T.O.

Lightroom Doesn't See Images on SD Card

Hi
Just come back from a photo trip and tried to import my images into Lightroom from my SD Card and Lightroom doesn't see them, all it see's are the images I took on Saturday.
Today I arrived at my location to photograph Pasque Flowers, I took 1 image then realised I hadn't deleted the images from Saturday so I used the 'Delete Images From Card' in my camera's menu and then proceeded to take a few hundred images. During the day I reviewed my images several times, so I know they were definitely saved to the SD Card.
When I got home I tried to import my images in to Lightroom and all Lightroom saw on the card were the images I took last Saturday.
I tried closing down Lightroom and opening it again - nothing, just the images from Saturday!
I tried using the SD Card reader on my iMac - again, just Saturday's images were found.
I then put my card back into my camera and all I could see were my Pasque flower images from today.
So it seems my camera see's todays images yet Lightroom only sees the images from Saturday I had deleted via my camera's menu at the start of today.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Regards
Chris

Sandisk 16GB Extreme Pro SD Card

Hi Brett
Things have moved on today.
I have a long conversation with Canon and finally got the images off my camera by connecting it directly to my iMac and using Canon's EOS Utility to download the images. The EOS Utility saw both yesterdays images and the ones taken last Saturday.
I have to say it took several attempts to finally get all the images off the card and a similar number of attempts to get Lightroom to import them - but it has been achieved.
Interestingly the chap at Canon said that they (Canon) believe there is a problem with Lightroom's Library (not quite sure how I go about proving that). Anyway I have tried formatting the offending SD Card and none of the images are deleted which leads me to suspect, as you do that it might be a faulty SD card.
All the relevent serial numbers, invoice and photographs have been sent to Sandisk and I await their reply. Thankfully I purchased the card through Amazon UK who are the official retailer for Sandisk, so hopefully I should get my card replaced IF it is found to be faulty.

Bridge won't open some tiff & jpg files in RAW

Most of the time bridge opens tiffs and jpgs in camera raw, but sometimes it won't for certain images. Anyone know a workaround?

Using Bridge v2.1.1.9 and Camera Raw v4.31
In Bridge, this 04_ms-48.tif file will NOT open in Camera Raw.
In Bridge, this 05_ms-48.tif file WILL open in Camera Raw.
The only difference between the two files is the size. The 05_ms-48.tif is smaller by 132 bytes...
In Silverfast, I think a slight change in density was made. This should not cause a rejection by Bridge!
Each file is 153 MB. I'm willing to send these 2 files to anyone who can perhaps find the difference...

Bridge won't save metadata for .mov files

Hi.
I could be trying to do something that Bridge can't do (though I have read that it should). I am trying to add metadata to .mov files. Bridge allows me to enter the text both under 'File info' and in the Metadada IPTC Core fields, however when I 'apply' or click OK they don't save.
Well, in the IPTC Core when I click 'apply' they are there until I select another file then go back and they aren't.
I am using Bridge CS5 on a PC with XP.
Thanks

Thanks Curt Y. Under 'run as' there was two options both of which were noted as administrator - though I could only use one as we don't have the password for the other. I'm not using an external drive.
The strange thing is that there is no problem applying the metadata to images, just mov files.

IPhoto 7.1 won't import .CR2 (RAW) image files

I'm shooting with a Canon 30D, and had no problem importing RAW images (.CR2 files) into iPhoto 08. However, after installing the update for iPhoto 7.1, I get an error message saying that the .CR2 file type isn't recognized. What the ****?
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

My understanding is that iPhoto is able to read RAW files that the underlying OS can handle (which is why you see updated RAW compatibility added with various OS updates).
I have a 30D and have upgraded to 7.1
I just opened a folder of CR2 files and dragged and dropped into iPhoto and they imported fine. I have not tried downloading direct from camera as I tend to copy things over using a card reader.
So, in terms of troubleshooting, I suggest:
1 - can you see open the CR2 using preview? If not sounds like an OS issue.
2 - can you see thumbnails of the CR2 if they're in a folder somewhere? If not consider if the CR2 are corrupted.
3 - If no to 2, then can you open the images using other (Canon) software?
If yes to 1 and 2, the it's likely to be an iPhoto issue.

Bridge won 't recognize nikon d300 raw files

What is it with Adobe? Every time I attempt to use their product I hit another road block. First it was using LR and PS on a high resolution screen. Then I purchased their monthly subscription and got multiple versions of PS, not knowing which is the newest and correct version to use. Is Photoshop CC or Photoshop CS5 the newest version. Now I can't get Bridge CS5 to recognize my Nikon D300 raw files. Has Adobe lost it's footing? I am extemely frustrated with Adobe products and apparently so are thousands, if not million of other customers

Photoshop "won't let go" of image files

Just one example of a general issue: I'm in Windows (Vista) Explorer, in a folder filled with TIF files. I open one TIF file in Photoshop (CS3) ... do something to it, and resave. Then that image is CLOSED, so there's NOTHING open in Photoshop. Next, I try to rename (or move) that folder ... can't do it! Not until Photoshop is CLOSED. In other words, strictly in Windows terms, once a file has been saved AND CLOSED in Photoshop, the "path" to that file cannot be altered until Photoshop itself is closed.
There's gotta be a way around this, but I sure can't figure it out. Would be very grateful for anyone's help. Thanks!

Thanks, Chris, but I have only the slightest comprehension of what a "shell extension" is ... if your reply contains a solution to my situation, could you "dumb it down" just a little? And as I said to Curt ... if the best answer is, "Well, that's just the way it is ... it's a Windows problem," then presumably tens of thousands of people would be raisin' hell about this. Logically, there must be something else going on here.

OSX Utility appears on laptop startup asking 4 ?'s. How do I remove this as it won't let me see my files.

Apple OSX Utility appears on Power On asking me to choose from the following 4 choices: back up, help, repair, install fresh copy of OSX. My problem is that I never did anything to have this Utility pop up, which I'm afraid that all my files will be deleted.
It was working one moment, then it simi froze, which I was still able to go to the Apple icon and shutdown, which I did. Upon powering up, the OSX utility appeared and that's where I'm stuck.
Has this happen to anyone? Please help as I can't afford to loose data, which is not backed up.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
From what you say, it looks like your hard drive is damaged. To try to recover your files, you can use DiskWarrior, but note that this program may or may not work.
Another option you have is to replace the hard drive yourself (you can choose one of these HDDs). That page has also how-to's to help you to replace the hard drive. Apart, you can buy an enclosure, where you will put the damaged hard drive so, after installing OS X on your new hard disk, you can connect it to your computer and check if you can recover files

Cannot open image files in PS CS3 from Bridge CS3

Cannot open file in Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) from Bridge CS3 (2.1.1.9)
Tried choosing File>Open and double clicking the image thumbnail
Error dialogue box pops up and reads:
Windows cannot find\C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Photoshop.exe
I wouldnt expect CS\Photoshop.exe to be found because CS3\Photoshop.exe upgrade is installed.
Will downloading the Adobe Photoshop update for Adobe Photshop CS3 (11/15/2007) or Adobe Bridge CS3 update for Adobe Bridge CS3 (11/15/2007) be my best bet for correcting this problem?

Thanks to Freeagent for pointing me to the solution.
For fellow Windows XP user's:
Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types
It would have been nice if the Install Wizard of PS would have handled this automatically or had an advisory instruction to manually associate image files in Windows XP.
I thought all along this was a Photoshop CS3 / Bridge CS3 problem since Bridge was calling for both the image file and Photoshop.
If Freeagent has anyone's ear at Adobe please pass this on.
Thanks Again

Time Machine (OSX) doesn't back up files in Mount Point or Disk Image File

Hi all,
I have two disk images which are scripted to be mounted on login. These two disk images are always mounted to the same location. These two disk images are encrypted TrueCrypt volumes.
Time Machine (TM) will only back up the disk images the first time they are mounted, but not after that. As I modify documents within the volumes throughout the day, the modified timestamps are adjusted properly. However, TM does not back them up. TM never backs up the mount points which are two folders within my home directory.
Any ideas as to why neither the mount point or the image files are backed up? Do the image files have to be closed (unmounted) after being modified for TM to back them up?
Now if TM won't back up the image files because they are locked/open, then why does it back them up the first time even though they are mounted? Also, from what I've read, TM should back up any HFS+ drive which is mounted. Both these drives are HFS+, so it should back up the mount points? I can verify this by doing a 'mount' in the terminal, the following is echo'd back:
/dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled) (Main System Drive)
/dev/disk1 on /Users/username/Folder1 (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, noowners, mounted by username) (First TrueCrypt volume)
/dev/disk2 on /Users/username/Folder2 (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, noowners, mounted by username)(Second TrueCrypt volume)
Any ideas will help!
Thanks,
Chris

Here is the resolution:
Apparently time machine checks the parent folder's timestamp before moving into that folder to look for modified files.
So as I was modifying files, the timestamps on the volumes were changing but not the containing directory. Because of this, TimeMachine saw the parent directory had not changed, so did not look for the changed volumes inside.
So to resolve this, I wrote a simple touch script which touches the parent directory to match the modified volumes timestamp (if there is a modified volume).
Thanks,
Chris

CC has Java Script Plug in issues... CS5 won't let me see all my NEF files... help.

In CC I am trying Photoshop (I currently use CS5), and it says it doesn't have the java script plug in... am I supposed to magically pluck it out of thin air to get it? I'm not a computer programmer and I am finding CC to be a maddening experience. CS5 won't let me see all the NEF files I have, and I have a client waiting on the images... RAWRRRR... How can I see this images if CS5 only shows me half of my images, and CC won't even let me open anything, not bridge, not files, nothing... help!

Disc image file exported from Encore CS4 won't work

Hello,
I have a problem concerning the export of a disc image file in Encore CS4. I recently upgraded to CS4 and wanted to continue my project which I started editing with CS3. While working with CS3 I already did image files from this project for burning and testing the DVD. Back then it worked with no problems.
However, since using the CS4 version Encore does the image without any problem, but I can't use the image file in any way afterwards. I mounted it with Daemon Tools as I did before, but the DVD won't play in any software DVD player I have installed (Media Player Classic, Windows Media Player, Nero Showtime) nor can I access the file structure over a file manager. Nevertheless NeroInfoTool and ImgBurn say there is a DVD in the virtual drive. Then I exported the DVD project into a folder and now I can see the files in the file manger but again no player will play it.
Has anyone experienced this before and is able to help? It would be very appreciated since I don't want to downgrade back to CS3 :-)
It's Encore CS4, Version 4.0.1.048 on a 2,8 GHz HT CPU, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 6800 UT, lots of HDD space, XP + SP3.
Thank you,
Chris...

Hey,
thank you both. As I said no player accepts the project exported to a folder. It doesn't matter if I point the player to the video_ts.ifo or just the folder - it won't play. As a consequence I re-installed Encore CS3 in which exporting worked fine and guess what - the exported image and folder output doesn't work either. Since it worked before in CS3 it comes down to the conclusion that either I did some editing to the project that screwed the project or Encore CS4 did. Checking for mistakes in the project and previewing in inside CS4 everything seems fine. So might it be CS4 that ****** up the project file??? I mean it's full of strange bugs so it could easily be that. I even updated my Daemon Tools yesterday and it won't make a difference.
Or could it be something else I haven't considered yet? Any ideas? I just don't want to build the whole project again which might not even work if it's some other error. This is a desperate call for help
Thanks,
Chris...

I have both Photoshop 4 and Photoshop 6 on my computer. When I am in Bridge and want to open an image by double clicking, it automatically opens in 6. I see, when I go to "open with" 6 is listed as "default" How can I change the default to open an image with a double click in 4?

You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
Do this from the Windows Desktop:
If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CS4 or CS6 and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file".
