Running both CS6 and CS5 bridge

I'm running CS5 bridge but using CS6 tools from the cloud tools.  I keep CS5 on board because CS6 Bridge is really useless for getting any work done.  I face major pauses when I try to use any of the menu buttons or try to right click on anything.  Usually at least 5 seconds.
So I just use CS5 which is very quick to respond to those kind of clicks.
I'm seeing one problem that is apparently related to having both versions:
In CS6 Bridge:
When I set Edit/Camera Raw preferences/ Camera Raw Cache/ Select location
It also sets the same place for CS5 Bridge.  And Vise versa if I set it from CS5 it changes CS6 as well.
Somewhere they must be using the same configuration file.  Just at a guess I'd say that is not supposed to happen.
Can someone who knows more about the internal workings give me some advice about keeping  the different versions from sharing settings?

CS6 and CS5 Bridge use different cache database.  So same location, different file.
By the way I pretty much do he same thing.  Even though CS6 Bridge is now 64 bit, it has too many pauses to do its job.  Most are related to building cache.
Yup, its way to aggravating and time wasting to try to use CS6. In my case, running CS5, the one draw back is that I don't have access to the PS CS6 batch processor, so if I have need of that, I have to put up with CS6 long enough to get that done.  Forutnately I don't use it all that often.. at least the recent projects I've undertaken have not necessitated it more than a few times.
Are you able to access the PS CS6 image processor from Bridge CS5? (Tools/photoshop/ And here you see several batching sort of tools including the Image Processor).  For me; when running CS5 the Tools menu does not have a "photoshop" entry at all.
I'm sort of jumping to a new topic here and hope you don't mind.  I wondered if you might have developed a numbered list of things one should try when having the stalling problem some users are seeing with CS6 bridge.  I would like to take one more systematic stab at getting a usable installation of CS6 bridge before resorting to the long and usually painful process of getting help from adobe.
It would really be handy if someone with your grasp of this tool could codify and distill down a step by step list of things to try to get CS6 bridge working better.
Your respones to me and to at least one other poster I've noticed (I'm sure there have been more) contain lots of different things to try but with my shortage of experience with this kind of troubleshooting I'm not sure what order to attempt things in.

  • Can I use both CS4 and CS5 separately so as to use Version Cue ?

    I am thinking about buying CS5 to keep up to date.
    I cannot do without Version Cue which is only CS4.
    Can I buy the upgrade and run them to take advantage of both ?

    Yes, you can run both CS4 and CS5 simultaneously, however, you must first launch CS5, then launch CS4. I don't know much about Version Cue or whether it would still work in a CS4/5 workflow, but you could always try the 30-day CS5 Trial as a test.

  • Different behaviour of a plugin in CS6 and CS5.5

    I've noticed a difference in a plugin behaviour in CS6 and CS5.5.
    The following call generates a PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK in CS6. The PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK appears later in a plugin work and doesn't work properly in CS6. Though in CS5.5 there is no problem with this function, it doesn't generate any weird events.
    suites.ParamUtilsSuite1()->PF_GetCurrentState(in_data->effect_ref, &seqData->curSessionParamState); (code for CS5.5)
    suites.ParamUtilsSuite3()->PF_GetCurrentState(in_data->effect_ref,PF_ParamIndex_CHECK_ALL, NULL, NULL, &seqData->curSessionParamState); (updated code for CS6, in respect that the signature of PF_GetCurrentState has changed)
    I work in Windows 7, x64. CS6 is 11.0.0.378 version, CS5.5 is 10.5.0.253 version. Do you have any idea what might have changed in CS6 to provide such an error?

    Are you developing a plug-in?
    I'd go to the Adobe AE SDK forum and ask there.
    If those are error messages from applying an effect or running a script, what are you doing to generate the error?

  • Loaded both CS6 and CS6 (64-bit) extended version...

    I just loaded both CS6 and CS6 (64-bit) from disk (no download) onto my Windows 8 HP Envy computer.   I noticed both boxes were automatically checked by Adobe during the set-up.  I left as-is to not cause problems thinking just one would load.   Both programs take 3.3 GB but that's not a problem for me.   I was surprised to see that I had a choice of TWO PS programs now on my computer.   I searched all over Adobe and can't find a similar problem.
    Also, two versions of Bridge loaded; the regular and the 64-bit. 
    My question is this (applies to both CS6 and Bridge):   Do I need to remove one?   Why did both load?   If I should leave both, which one should I use?   Why does this happen?
    My computer specs:
    Windows 8
    Memory:     10GB  DDR3
    System:     64 bit
    Hard Drive:     1.5TB
    Processor:     AMD Six-Core FX-6200
    Thanks so much...Kathy

    you should probably leave the 32 bit program. 
    there are certain plugins, printers, scanners and i-don't-know-what-else that won't work with the 64 bit program and will work with the 32bit program.  unless you're certain you won't care about that, leave the 32 bit alone.

  • Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped

    Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?

    I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
    In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
    Here is a run-down of my process:
    0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
    1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    ( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
    2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
    3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
    Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
    4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
    5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
    Hope this helps.

  • Different behaviour of a plug in in CS6 and CS5.5

    I've noticed a difference in a plugin behaviour in CS6 and CS5.5.
    In a SequenceSetup function the following call generates a PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK in CS6 with the PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC state of extra parameter. The same PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK appears later in a plugin work and doesn't work properly in CS6. Though in CS5.5 there is no problem with this function, it doesn't generate any weird events.
    suites.ParamUtilsSuite1()->PF_GetCurrentState(in_data->effect_ref, &seqData->curSessionParamState); (code for CS5.5)
    suites.ParamUtilsSuite3()->PF_GetCurrentState(in_data->effect_ref,PF_P aramIndex_CHECK_ALL, NULL, NULL, &seqData->curSessionParamState); (updated code for CS6, in respect that the signature of PF_GetCurrentState has changed)
    I work in Windows 7, x64. CS6 is 11.0.0.378 version, CS5.5 is 10.5.0.253 version. The only change between these two version of the plug in is the PF_GetCurrentState signature. So I suppose that the problem is inside a new SDK. But I have no guess where it may be.. Do you have any idea what might have changed in CS6 to provide such an error?

    Hi Niakris,
    Thanks very much for closing the loop and reporting back what worked for you.  As to why there is a difference between CS5.5 and CS6, one of the engineers here explains:
    "I assume the behavior change is due to me making code in certain libraries thread-safe, and explicitly disallowing the execution of certain callbacks on anything other than the main thread. If it worked before CS6, it worked by accident, and was very unsafe to do."
    Glad to have you testing compatibility with CS6!
    Cheers,
    Zac

  • In SMO there is any option for run both ExecuteNonQuery and ExecuteWithResults.?

    In SMO there is any option for run both ExecuteNonQuery and ExecuteWithResults query at simultaneously?

    Hello,
    First, in a client session nothing can run "simultaneously", all statements are executed in sequence. And what should
    it be good for to run ExecuteNonQuery +
    ExecuteWithResults; both executes the SQL batch, the only difference is, ExecuteWithResults returns a result?
    But if you like, start one by one.

  • My PC crashed with both CS6 and Lightroom 4. .

    My PC crashed with both CS6 and Lightroom 4. . .I purchased a Mac Pro.  Can I download the Mac versions of both programs and use my currenct serial numbers?

    You can with Lightroom, but not (as far as I know) with Photoshop. You ought to get in touch with Adobe's customer service people and see if you can "sidegrade" to Mac for a relatively small fee.

  • I have just purchased the new Canon 7D II.  I am using CS6 and Lightroom 5.0, neither of which can open the RAW files although I see from the list of supported cameras that the 7D II is covered.  I have updated both CS6 and LR so that is not the problem.

    I have just purchased the new Canon 7D II.  I am using CS6 and Lightroom 5.0, neither of which can open the RAW files although I see from the list of supported cameras that the 7D II is covered.  I have updated both CS6 and LR so that is not the problem.  Not sure what to do next.

    It has been indicated that both of those cameras will be supported in the final release of Camera Raw 8.7. But there is no announced release date. There never is. I assume it will be before December 31. But that is only my guess based on the fact that the release candidate expires then.

  • I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

    I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

    If you want Bridge CS6 to open when using Photoshop CS6, you must quit Bridge CC.
    Then File menu > Browse in Bridge will bring up Bridge CS6.
    If Bridge CC is already open, The File > Browse in Bridge for Photoshop CS6 will use Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 will not open.
    I hope that's the answer you were looking for.

  • If I run both Firefox and IE 11 which Flash Player do I download or can I download both?

    If I run both Firefox and IE 11 which Flash Player do I download or can I download both?

    Hi,
    Firefox and IE uses different plugins of Flash Player but you can install both in your system.
    Just go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer from IE browser and Install Flash Player -> It will install ActiveX plugin of Flash Player which is used by IE
    And if you go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ from Firefox browser and Install Flash Player -> It will install NPAPI plugin of Flash Player which is used by Firefox.
    Hope it resolves your query.

  • How do I get the Time Capsule to run both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks at the same time.

    How do I get the Time Capsule to run both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks at the same time.

    Thanks for digging out the facts.
    You have a 1st Generation Time Capsule.
    Your model can produce two bands....either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz....but not both simultaneously.
    You would need a Generation 2, 3 or 4 Time Capsule for simultaneous dual band capability.

  • InDesign CS6 and CS5.5 Export to Interactive PDF

    Hi Guys,
    I am having this huge problem when I tried to export 124 pages including links, buttons (show/hide) and video (mp4) to interactive PDF. However when I tried to use CS5.5 to export, it stops at page 98 and prompts an error that say cannot be exported. In CS6, it managed to pass the page 98 but hangs at page 123 till I got to force quit it.
    I am able to export in pieces but not as a whole and I believe that it could be a memory or ram issue which is beyond my control.
    This is the first time I have encountered this issue. Anyone have solutions for this?
    Mark Plunkett

    I manage to combine them in Acrobat X and the links worked, I was happy but for a while. When I tried to save the combined PDF, same thing happened, it just keeps optimizing running at 100.3% of the resources. What I have noticed using my Activity Monitor in Mac is that InDesign renders it using 1GB or Ram while Acrobat only uses 380MB of Ram when I have 8GB of ram available in my Mac. More the reason why InDesign should have gone into 64-bit in CS6, but was dissapointed it did not.
    I found the cause of the rendering issue, it is not so much about the vector or image size (it does play a part though), it is because I was using too much Show / Hide functions in the Buttons Panel. There seem to be a limit to how much you can use and on how many pages you can have them. I was doing a "Drop down menu" in the PDF with this particular function, each page have about 40 Show/Hide buttons, and there is a total of 124 pages. That is what caused it not to export out successfully, when I removed the buttons, it worked after waiting for 40 minutes of exporting the file, not very happy it took so long, however it got exported.
    I think that both Acrobat and InDesign developers should start looking into able to use Scratch Disk or let the users optimize more Ram to the usage of the software.
    Forgot to mention that this only worked in CS6, not even close in CS5.5
