Missing Adobe Bridge 5

I just upgraded to a new iMac. I was running Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Bridge CS5. I have redownloaded and installed Photoshop 5, but I no longer have Bridge. I can't seem to find a way to download and install it. I must own it, because I had it before. Anyone know how I can get Bridge 5 on my new machine without upgrading to Bridge 6?
Thanks!

This is odd as Bridge is a part of Photoshop and not a seperate program. It should be listed in your program file under Adobe. If not where did you download the files from? Perhaps there were a hacked copy.

Adobe Bridge is missing

Hi there,
For some reason my Adobe Bridge CS6 has gone missing, I have searched the drive and checked the trash but it is nowhere to be found.
I am using Creative Cloud on OSX, I have tried removing Ps and Ai and re-installing through the Application Manager but this would still not install the Bridge. I also tried downloading the trial of Ai but that would still not install it.
I have downloaded the updater for Adobe Bridge but this oviously fails as the application is not available, does anyone know how I can get Adobe Bridge back.
Many thanks
Dave

In my case this was caused by me keeping my application folder clean and moving into a sub folder called 'Adobe'. What I never knew was that a mac will replace a folder when you paste over the top whereas windows always merges the folder (you learn something new everyday).
To solve I simply copied the folder from a working mac and pasted back to mac with bridge missing. If you are on windows then I am not sure if it will work the same, but this is certainly working for me now.
Hope this helps. And I would be useful if there was a seperate download for it, it is only a file browser so it shouldn't matter if they have to give it away free anyway

Adobe Bridge Image previews missing

I have 2 digital cameras one is a Fujifilm Fine Pix Pro S3 and the other one is a Nikon D200. The Fuji photo files show image previews in Adobe Bridge (I use Photoshop CS2) but the nikon files only show an icon with NEF displayed. How do I get the image previews? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I am using an iMac 27" too and I've faced in with this situation as well as you are, I hve tried several different setting but it feels like it is normal. I've gone trough on Bridge, CC and CC2014 nut they are all the same. If you open on camera raw any raw files you might see similar softness. As soon as you convert to JPG,TIFF, PNG... it will be fine.

Adobe Bridge and Extension Manager missing products

I installed Production Premium, yet Adobe Bridge will not preview After Effects Presets. When selecting Manage Extensions, the Adobe Extension Manager does not show After Effects as a product.
How can I fix this?

Nevermind :-) Fix this moments later. I had noticed After Effects would start with an error about quick time not being installed. (new OS). After I installed that it works fine. I guess Bridge uses Quicktime to preview the presets because after restarting bridge it works fine.
Thanks

Adobe Bridge Missing

Hello all,
I have Master Collection and up till recently had Adobe Bridge installed. I say up till recently because It's been on my machine for a while now, then a few days ago I installed Premier Pro to my system and now bridge is MIA. I can see in the console logs that it was removed but not sure why? To further add to my head scratching, it was also removed from a second drive that has an older os (snow leopard).
Why was it removed from my primary os drive (Mountain Lion)?
Why was it removed from my old Snow Leopard drive?
Can I get Bridge back without reinstalling PS? I have a lot of custom setting in PS and don't want to loose them.

Not a clue why it uninstalled Bridge, it should not and has no reason to do so, especially not from both discs with separate OS installed on it. I have both CS6 and CC PPro installed on my MacPro with Mountain Lion (10.8.5) and still have all Bridge versions (albeit I use the Cloud subscription for both versions).
As said in other post, Bridge CS6 gets installed with PS, if you first uninstall PSCS6 without deleting prefs you should be OK but for security you can back up your custom settings first. Most of them should be in the User Library (By default hidden per OSX 10.7) Application Support / Adobe / Adobe Photoshop CS6 / presets and in the same library Preferences folder Adobe PSCS6 Settings. Just copy them outside the library for back up to being able replacing them after new install. Should not take you long.
And also check in the same user library / Application Support / Adobe / Bridge CS6 for still having the content of your custom settings for workspaces and AOM etc. Also back them up for security. In the same library should also be a folder called Caches / Adobe / bridge CS6. inhere are the previous cached previews for Bridge (can grow quite large).

Adobe Bridge in advertising agency

Hello,
i work in advertising agency Made by Vaculik (formerly Vaculik Advertising), we are located in Europe/Slovakia/Bratislava and we was using Adobe Bridge since CS2 release. CS3 was longest used and we was VERY satisfied with its technology. Creative, graphics and DTP department worked closely on each project, every save was synchronized with our server with name of user etc. It was much better environment than find latest version on someone's computer. But since CS6 it is not longer supported internal servers, only cloud engine. We are ad agency that primarily sells ideas and we simply cannot store our data on external servers, so i and my collegaues are VERY surprised that this technology was changed to different target group. We was probably first bigger agency who used this technology in Czech and Slovak republic and nowadays we are searching for similar solutions for our needs, but for example we are preparing really some YEARS to implement Alfresco with JIRA, but it got many problems. So what Adobe, really we are only agency in the world who missed Bridge to use with our internal servers? Cheers.

Adobe Bridge Buttons in Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks?

Hello,
Adobe says that the button to connect to Adobe bridge is in
every CS3 application. I can find it in Photoshop, Illustrator, and
even Contribute, a former Macromedia project, but none of the other
Macromedia projects (Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks) have one. Am I
missing it, or is this a glitch?
Thanks,
Dylan

Go to Edit > Prefs > Enable Version Cue. Once you do
that look in the lower left corner of the flash
application - you should see "Open" with an arrow. Clicking
on it will popup "Reveal in Bridge" button.

Adobe Bridge CS6, Camera Raw

Hello,
I need urgently help.
I'm working on a MacBook Pro with Adobe Bridge CS6 since more than 1 year, using Camera Raw, v 8.6.0.254 without any problems.
Last month I bought a Mac Book Air and installed Photoshop Elements 12, Adobe Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6. But I'm still missing the possibility to open my pictures in Camera Raw.
After downloading the actual version 7.01 of Camera Raw from the website of Adobe.com and trying to install it I got the following error report:
UPDATE FEHLGESCHLAGEN;
Updates konnten nicht installiert werden. Dieser Path ist für Sie nicht geeignet.
Name of the downloaded program is: AdobeCameraRaw-7.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.
What shall I do to get Camera Raw running?
Thanks so much for your help

XMP metadata from Flashbuilder why not visible in Adobe Bridge?

Hi there,
I'm currently wondering around XMP metadata and swf files.
A: Flash CS5: works
When I use the XMP panel in Flash CS5 and export a swf, open Adobe Bridge CS5 and select the file, the XMP data are correctly displayed.
B: Flash Builder(Flex 4.1): don't work
When I use Flashbuilder and add my metadata to the compilation, then compile, open Adobe Bridge CS5 and select the file, nothing is included in metadata.
Procedure based on the following (same problem if metadata are directly set through compiler arguments):
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=compilers_14.html
../src/config/ProductMetaData.xml
<flex-config>
<metadata>
    <title>My title</title>
    <description>My description</description>
    <publisher>The publisher</publisher>
    <creator>The creator</creator>
    <language>EN</language>
</metadata>
</flex-config>
compiler argument
-load-config+=config/ProductMetaData.xml
As far as understood, on the background the following is added to the swf at compile time:
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>
    <rdf:Description rdf:about='' xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1'>
        <dc:format>application/x-shockwave-flash</dc:format>
        <dc:title>My title</dc:title>
        <dc:description>
            <rdf:Alt>
                <rdf:li xml:lang='x-default'>My description</rdf:li>
            </rdf:Alt>
        </dc:description>
        <dc:publisher>The publisher</dc:publisher>
        <dc:creator>The creator</dc:creator>
        <dc:language>EN</dc:language>
    </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
I've checked that the medata is correctly added to the swf file using this small software polarswf:
http://download.cnet.com/Polar-SWF-MetaData/3000-6676_4-10738623.html
I do not know if it is safe to use it in a produciton context at least in trial mode it allows to check the metadata included in your swf.
I wonder if this metadata coonot be read by Adobe Bridge because they are at a "lower level" than those put by flash CS5 XMP panel?
Thank you in advance for your help.
This is not a blocking situation, but I'm curious to understand what happend.
Cedric Madelaine (aka maddec)

I was following this post for a LONG time, since I noticed the same problem.
This week I was getting in it into myself again and I noticed you use load-config. I used these compiler options :
contributor name
Sets metadata in the resulting SWF file. For more information, see Adding metadata to SWF files.
creator name
Sets metadata in the resulting SWF file. For more information, see Adding metadata to SWF files.
date text
Sets metadata in the resulting SWF file. For more information, see Adding metadata to SWF files.
But that resulted in this XML string where the dc namespace was missing a / on the end of the URI
That caused the metadata which was added in flashbuilder was only visible in bridge in the rawXML panel, and not the specific fields
changing the URI in http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ did the trick ( did this in bridge by exporting the rawXML, changed the / , and imported it )
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>
    <rdf:Description rdf:about='' xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1'>
        <dc:format>application/x-shockwave-flash</dc:format>
    </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
Sadly there was no way I could add this / myself everytime.
BUT then I discoverd this option :
raw-metadata XML_string
Defines the metadata for the resulting SWF file. The value of this option overrides any metadata.* compiler options (such as contributor,creator, date, and description).
This is an advanced option.
And you could give the exact RAW XML as you described
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>
    <rdf:Description rdf:about='' xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/'>
        <dc:format>application/x-shockwave-flash</dc:format>
        <dc:title>My title</dc:title>
        <dc:description>
            <rdf:Alt>
                <rdf:li xml:lang='x-default'>My description</rdf:li>
            </rdf:Alt>
        </dc:description>
        <dc:publisher>The publisher</dc:publisher>
        <dc:creator>The creator</dc:creator>
        <dc:language>EN</dc:language>
    </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
to the compiler. This could also be done in Flash with JSFL.
In the end I wrote an ANT script which injects the exact XMLstring of metadata to Flash and Flex projects by using the raw-metadata parameter in FLEX and JSFL for flash.
Hope this helps

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.

IPhoto: Using Adobe Bridge

I am presently using both iPhoto and FCPX. I only use iPhoto store the photos and images I use in albums. If I need to modify them I take them into Photoshop and then save them backin iPhoto. However, I now have about 5,000 images and feel a need to be able to sort them further and do more global commands on them (such as resize). For this, I really miss using Adobe Bridge. Is there a way to use Adobe Bridge with iPhoto?

Thank you. I am beginning to think I need to investigate exactly what and how much iPhoto really does. I didn't know it was this powerful. I will go to the link you gave me.
I think I am feeling overwhelmed with so many images because I need to find a good way to organize them via keyword (which I know iPhoto does - I just don't know how to select by keyword "yet").
I did like the capability in Bridge of selecting a lot of photos together and resizing them to all the same size in one command (via Photoshop).
I really do need a powerful photo manager so I need to understand how much iPhoto can do for me. I see I also have a lot of duplicates now so my initial idea of sorting by photo album name was not a good idea. I need to use keywords instead.
If iPhoto doesn't allow me to resize a batch of photos in one command, for the few times I need to do it, I can always export them into a folder and then do it in Photoshop because I would want to retain the photo in its original size anyway.
Now to the link you gave me . . .

Good Morning Curt Y
Many thanks for responding to my problem. Unfortunately, I did not get a reset window and the same issues are occurring.
Regarding ‘resetting preferences’, I presume you are referring to Photoshop Preferences – I don’t see any reset to defaults within any of these options.
There were two other details in the Problem Signature which I may have missed namely:
Fault Module Name:     Bridge.exe
                                                                                Fault Module Version:   5.0.2.4
I don’t know how to proceed, can you help?
