I am unable to access Bridge CS6 within Photoshop CS6

I am unable to access Bridge CS6 within Photoshop CS6 using the File menu>Browse in Bridge. Instead, I receive an error message stating that "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system. To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6". Also, Mini Bridge fails to connect with Bridge CS6. Any suggestions? I'm using Mac Operating System 10.6.8

Hi Pragya,
I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop CS6 and the problem has not been solved. The only way I am able to open Bridge is through its own application folder. Once I'm in Bridge, I can access Photoshop CS6 by going to the file menu and choosing Open With > Photoshop CS6. Bridge seems to be able to comminicate with Photoshop CS6 but Photoshop CS6 is unable to recognize or find Bridge CS6. Any other suggests? Thank you.
Regards
Tzoel

How do I access Bridge CS6?

How do I access Bridge CS6? I downloaded the CS6 Beta and cannot access Bridge CS6 only Bridge CS5.

Hi, you don't mention what system you are using. Mac or PC
On Mac running Lion I use Launchpad and select the Icon.
Within CS6 I mainly use the Mini Bridge icon which you can
"unsnap" and enlarge to move away from the filmstip style.
On the PC sorry can't help you.
Julieanne Kost has a bunch of keyboad shortcuts here.

Unable to reinstall Bridge CS6 or Photoshop CS6 on new iMac - Unable to find Uninstall anywhere in Library or Utilities

I just purchased a new iMac. Our previous iMac finally "died" and we had to have the data recovered from hard drive and transferred to the new iMac. I am now unable to open Bridge CS6 or Photorshop CS6. Message says I need to reinstall. But when going to Utilities, am unable to find Adobe Installer or Uninstall in any files or folders. Anxious to get back to using Bridge and Photoshop - HELP - and Thanks!!

No, you're never going to find it there.
In CS6, the Adobe uninstaller is inside the Adobe Photoshop CS6 folder, which in turn is inside the Root Applications folder.

Unable to open Bridge CS6 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 8

I have been using Bridge CS6 successfully until I installed Photoshop Elements 8 to use with a scanner I bought. After the installation, when clicking on Bridge CS6 it opens Bridge CS5. I had a look at some of the forums and tried Ctrl-clicking on Bridge CS6, but it still opens Bridge CS5. I have also re-installed Photoshop CS6 in the hope that this will fix it. Any suggestions as how to get Bridge CS6 going again will be appreciated!

Thanks for the replies. I was able to sort this myself after I watched the the following video on how to reset the Adobe preferences: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/ I did the manual reset where I moved only the preference file to another location e.g. the Desktop. I restarted my computer. Closed Bridge CS5 that was running in the background and then clicked on Bridge CS6 and the program opened. I decided to take a chance to see if this won't fix it and was elated when it worked. Don't ask my why, but it did the job!

All I See Is the CC Version, which Never Works Well With My School Assignments. Please Tell Me Where I Go to Find this Cuz the PullDown Arrow Is No Longer Available. BTW - I Didn't See It Listed Under Previous Versions Either.
thanks!

Lyleb64687719 have you utilized the steps listed in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html to verify the Creative Suite 6 version was not available? What type of a Creative Cloud membership do you have?
You can also download the Creative Suite 6 installation files from Download CS6 products. Installing any of the applications or suites which include Bridge CS6 should allow Bridge CS6 to install.

Opening files through mini bridge, from within photoshop.

When opening files/images from within photoshop use adobe mini bridge, the files open slowly with a long delay?
Can't figure out why, but when files are open directly from photoshop it is lightning fast.
Running on a iMac OS X Yosemite
Version 10.10.2

Okay.. Yeah, that's why I'm running Windows 7 still
This may have to do with some of the bugs Apple introduced into Yosemite. They are working on a fix. Can't really think of much else, other than make sure everything is up to date. Maybe someone with more knowledge of Mini Bridge will find this post.

Unable to open files from within Photoshop

Hi, I've updated to CC 2014.2.1 and I'm continuing to get this message when I attempt to open a file from within Photoshop (it started when I installed a beta versionYosemite, so I switched back to Mavericks, but it didn't help, [so many updates with Cloud, I lose track..]). I noticed someone else with a similar problem, but from 2013. Anyway, I get this message: 'Could not complete your request because of a program error.' I restart Photoshop, then I can open a few files, but then the errors start over.
Also, I'm not really familiar with the 'forum' means of support, but if anyone knows a solution to this beyond 'google it', which I've done, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks Jeffery Tranberry—this did the trick. BUT while an answer to my issue gave the following feedback to Adobe....
Use of COVERFLOW if EXTREMELY IMPORTANT (in Photoshop) when working fast with hundreds of images. Who the heck labels every single image asset file—and knows what that is without a visual cue? WHEN IS THIS ON THE ROADMAP TO BE FIXED?????????? UGH! MAVERICKS has been coming for MONTHS. Why was this not vetted on Adobe's end as a valuable roadmap item for its users? I would have ranked this a high item from a user experience end and fought for inclusion on the developers roadmap. What is the ETA on a real fix concerning Mavericks & Coverflow use with Photoshop?

Unable to access Kodak PhotoDisc from Photoshop CS3

Since upgrading to CS3 I am no longer able to access photos stored on a Kodak Photo Disc. The Photo Disc format is pretty dated at this point, however my company has hundreds of discs containing professional photography stored in this format and we need access to the images. HELP!
Thanks,
-Danny

I had same problem. Used InfranView (free) program to open and then save as TIFF file. Am I foggy brained in that I remember the Kodak Photo Disk had options to retrieve in different resolutions? Disks are probably 10+ years old. I did not see any options in InfranView and the TIFF I saved were not that great. What say you?

Unable to start Bridge in CS6

I have just installed CS6 from Disc, this runs fine but i am unable to open Bridge, either from within CS6 or by clicking on the Bridge icon in my taskbar.
I have read many forum discussions on this subject but have yet to find one with a good working answer to resolve the issue.
Is there a reason for the prolem Adobe? is there a fix or update? i have already checked that i have the latest updates running in CS6.
I have checked "task manager" on my windows 7 laptop, and it doesnt show any bridge applications running.
PLEASE HELP, i dont want to use $600 software which i saved up for only to find that a part of it doesnt work.
Any suggestions
Andy

Hi all,
Well i tried everything that was suggested, including creating an empty folder in the c:\users\user name\app data\roaming\adobe\bridge cs6. Checking my TEMP folder, uninstalling and running adobe script cleaner, re installing, right clicking the bridge.exe and selecting run in compatability mode, pressing shift, control, alt. Launching bridge from within cs6 or on its own.
I even stood on my head and tried it , lol.
But eventually i cracked it................i created a new user account in control panel/user accounts, and it worked. I can now open bridge on its own or within CS6.
So now i have to move all my hundreds of pictures in LR4 to my new user profile. I intend to keep both profiles and just use the "new" one to run CS6 and work on my pictures.
So to cut a long story short dont waste time with all the other suggestions (as good as they are), just go straight in and create a new user profile and bingo.........
i am now so happy after a week of pulling my hair out.
thanks to all that tried to help me as i am sure you eventually let me down the correct path.........
Andy a happy cs6 and bridge user

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

When opening Bridge (CS6) I get the following message: "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation" I tried and after selecting purge cache it does not allow me to select OK. Also Bridge keeps saying "Building Criteria" with the spinning wheel and nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Please help:)

Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
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.

Bridge CS6 crashes when accessing a folder containing a GIF file

Each time I try to access a folder in Bridge CS6 containing a GIF file, Bridge crashes.
Moving the file out of the folder (with Finder) stops the crash happening. I've tried with several different GIF files, diffrent ages, with and without animation. ANY GIF file causes the crash in ANY folder. Very frustrating as I can't use Bridge to use any folder with a GIF inside.
I'm using Bridge CS6 5.0.1.21 (Creative Cloud) on a Mac with OSX 10.8.2.
Saw another post suggesting using 32bit version instead of 64bit, but that's a Windows thing.
Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks.

Here's something else: I made a copy of a GIF file and changed its file extension to .jpg and then tried to view it's enclosing folder. No crash! I then made a copy of a jpeg and changed it's extension to GIF. No crash!
That is a weird route to go...
However tried it and had no problem other then not getting a preview for the jpeg and after again change to .gif the need of purging caching for the thumb.
If you want a workaround, try 'A Better Finder Rename', a cheap application that let's you change whatever you want for files or folders name, replacing etc.
You could set up a droplet for changing the extension to .jpg, drop the folder with all files on it and then again create a droplet to get the .gif back and drop it again. the set up takes 5 minutes, the result is taking only a few seconds.
You can change the extension in Bridge with Batch Rename but obviously that would not help you because you first have to select the files...
