Since recent CC upgrade, Bridge doesn't show colors of labels. What gives?

Hi All,
Just upgraded CC and all of a sudden all the thumbnalls in Bridge show white bars instead of labels on the thumbnails. When I go to the Filter I can select to view only those with green, red, or whatever, so the information on what the color is is there. Is this just my problem or is it a bug? This is the Mac version running Mountain Lion on a 13" retina display.
Thanks,
Ed Merrin

Thanks, Omke. You helped lead me to a trail that solved the problem, although how it came to be is not too clear. I thought it would be good for me to describe the specifics in case someone else encounters this.
Briefly, I have used the label colors for years, through multiple versions of Bridge, to help organize and sort through images. It has become second nature to me. I recently went traveling and came back and began sorting through and labeling my new images. Everything seemed fine, but in retrospect I was paying attention to the color of the label and not the name attached to each color.
Eventually the time came to do something with older files, and that's when the problem surfaced. All the labiels were white. When I looked at the filter panel, the thumbnails in the browser would be correctly identified by the text name of the color,but no colors would be displayed. For instance, if I selected the word red (but with a white circle next to it), only the "red" thmbnails would be in the browser, and the same for any other "color." So they could be identified, even thought here was no way to tell them apart visually by label, since they were all white. On the other hand, the newer files, although they had red or green etc under the thumbnail,were identified as something else. Specifically, red was "Selected," and other colors had other terms I can't remember. The transition was easy to find. All files labeled from October of this year to the present had the new monikers and showed colors, whereas everything before (back to 2006) were white.
So I went to the preferences, and lo and behold each color had a word next to it (as I mentioned above red was "Selected") instead of the name of the color, as it had been before.
It was much easier to change the newer files than thousands of old ones, obviously, so I changed the preference panel by typing the color names in to replace the other categorie names that some greater authority had apparently invented. Bingo, all the old files now had color labels and it was the new ones that were white! That was easily fixed by changing labels of the new files in the drop down menu to the appropriate color name  (the colors names were unavailable until I changed the preferences).
Apparently, around the end of September or early October my preferences were changed, probably after an update, and I never noticed. Previously, whenever I  updated Phtotshop/Bridge the preferences were carried over without any intervention from me.
So go figure.

  • Bridge doesn´t show preview of tif-images

    Hi,
    I uses Bridge CS6 on a Mac with MacOS 10.9.2. Suddenly bridge doesn´t show previews of Tif-images. It´s also impossible to fill in any metadata. The program also says that the image isn´t tagged with any color profile. I don´t have these problems with jpegs, only with Tif-images. I even get previews on the RAW-images. Does anyone know what the problem can be?
    Ulf

    I guess I have to try to reinstall the program.......
    I'm 99,99 % sure that won't help solving your problem because to possible being effective you also should use the Adobe Clean tool to get rid of a lot of the hidden files that just stay put during a normal reinstall. But if you want to do something easier instead of reinstall, quit Bridge and go to the user library (by default hidden per OSX 7, use Finder, menu Go with option to reveal this library)
    In the preferences folder is plist file for Bridge (com.adobe.bridge5.plist), drag this file to the trash. Then in same library go to the folder Caches / Adobe/ Bridge CS5 and inhere delete both plug in and folder called Cache. (this means recaching the previews and thumbs).
    Then restart Bridge holding down option key and again choose 'reset prefs'. All previous deleted items will be replaced with new, fresh and empty ones and you have an almost like factory settings Bridge without the need of reinstall.
    But I really suspect it comes down to the Tiff files so maybe also a reset of preferences in PS might be worth a try.

  • Ipod Touch won't sync since recent iTunes upgrade

    When i try to add songs (not purchased through itunes although I dont know if this is relevant) to my ipod touch they show in itunes under my device however they do not seem to copy to the ipod. Say I add and album then add another the first album gets erased from the ipod and only the most recent files copied remain on the ipod however they all still show as existing on the ipod within itunes, The same thing happens to my ipad and it only seems to have happened since I last upgraded itunes. Both devices have been set to manually manage music and videos so I'm at a loss as to why this is happening,
    has anyone got any ideas as I have tried to get hold of older versions of itunes from Apple - Support - Downloads however they report an error when installing (doesnt say what error)

    With all the synced media like apps and music in your iTunes library do the following:
    - Make a backup in iTunes by:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The above link includes that restore from backup instructions.
    Somehow updating iTunes caused iTunes/iPod to think it was not synced to this library. That happens sometimes.

  • Bridge doesn't recognize color profiles

    Dear Adobe community,
    I'm using Adobe Bridge CS5.1 (4.1.0.54) and Illustrator CS5.1 (15.1.0), and I'm experiencing a very confusing and disturbing color management problem between these two applications. In short, for some unknown reason Bridge doesn't seem to respect or simply cannot read CMYK color profiles that I've applied to an artwork within Illustrator, but rather labels the file as "Untagged" and displays it with clearly desaturated colors. To illustrate the problem I've created some screenshots having Bridge on the left hand side and Illustrator on the right displaying the same illustration with various color profiles applied. That is, in each case I assigned different color profile to the image in Illustrator, saved the file and took the screenshot of Bridge and Illustrator both displaying the image. Now if you look closely then perhaps you notice that the only time I got a visual match between these applications was when I switched the file to a RGB mode within Illustrator. But even then Bridge did not recognized the correct color profile but interpreted it as "Untagged". Here are the screens:
    Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "U.S. Web Coated":
    Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Coated FOGRA39":
    Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Don't Color Manage This Document":
    Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Adobe RGB":
    Hope you could see the difference from these tiny images. Looking from my monitor, I can tell you for sure that they are definitely off, except the RGB versions of the illustration. This made me surmise that perhaps Bridge can only display Working RGB profiles correctly and not anything else.
    Here's also my color settings, just in case…
    So... Why is that??? Why are these applications showing me different results while my color settings are supposed to be "Synchronized"? Is there a way to fix this? I have tried to play around with the settings and looked for a solution in the web but to no avail. Could you please help me to find a soulution to this disturbing problem?
    All the best,
    Juhani

    You may have used the broken global Purge Cache command in Bridge Preferences, or the cache is otherwise corrupted. Try Purging the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge for each folder. Tools > Cache > Purge cache for 'foldername'.

  • I want to restore my phone by connecting my Iphone4 to iTunes in Mac but it doesn't show phone device. What should i do now??????

    I have problem when I updated iOS7 yesterday. At first, there was a message popped out in my Iphone 4 said "iOS7 available for u to update, then i clicked "update", then it said "wait while it verifying", after that my phone tuned blank and what i saw was only the "logo of apple". Until now i see only that Apple logo, i can't either switch my phone on or off.
    My iTunes in Mac is just updated to version 11.1
    I want to restore my phone by connecting my Iphone4 to iTunes in Mac but it doesn't show phone device.
    I don't know why it doesnt connect to pc(Mac pro).
    Any solution?

    You need to restart the phone in DFU mode and update the software.
    To restart the phone in DFU mode press the power and home button simultaneously for like 10 seconds once the phone is switched off release the power button keep holding the home button while you connect to the computer which has Itunes running and then you can restore or update the software, you can download the update and connect after the software has been downloaded if your phone disconnects, And enjoy you new IOS7.

  • My APPS application shows an update is available yet it doesn't show the APP. What's going on?

    My APPS application shows I have updates available yet when I view it, it doesn't show the APP. I have to download it from iTunes to my Phone. What is going on?

    If you have two apple IDs then try logging in with the other ID.  Apps are locked to the ID that was used to download then in the first place

  • Lion upgrade on my MacBook. No multi gestures, what gives?

    I just upgraded from snow leopard to Lion on my macbook because I thought multi gestures similar to my ipad would be cool. I don't see any of these features after the upgrade here on safari. What gives? I feel ripped off. Something I'm not doing? And if so why don't they tell us before we spend $30 bucks?

    Sorry to be pedantic but it depends on the age of the MBP not necessarily the split trackpad.
    My 15" MacBook Pro ~ Feb > Oct  2008 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, pre Unibody with a split trackpad supports all the swipe gestures on Snow Leopard never mind Lion..

  • Adobe Bridge Doesn't show all files in a folder

    I am using a MacPro with 8GB of Ram and 1TB HD running Mountain Lion.  I have a network folder that has about 320 GB of files in it.  This is spread out between about 255 different Illustrator files.  When I view them in Finder, all the files show up.  When I view them in Bridge, I can only get 200 to show up.  If I click refresh, it goes to a different number. If I repeat, it changes again.  This worked on the old Machine but doesn't seem to work on the New one.  I'm guessing its a setting but can't seem to find that particular one.  Has anyone ran into this?  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    While Bridge is not assigned for use over a network your problem seems cache related to me. When in a problem folder go to the menu tools / cache / and choose purge cache for folder and see if this helps you.

  • Bridge CS3 doesn't show color profiles althought they are there

    I have a folder with various TIFF files, some are in CMYK (Fogra27), some in RGB but none show the profile in Bridge, although I turned it on in the settings. I can see that they have profiles in PsCS3.
    What may be the cause?
    Thanks!

    You may have used the broken global Purge Cache command in Bridge Preferences, or the cache is otherwise corrupted. Try Purging the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge for each folder. Tools > Cache > Purge cache for 'foldername'.

  • After upgrade DVA doesn't show in AdminService Console.

    I upgraded our GW2012 system and it went okay; aside from some issues the GWIA.
    But, anyway, the GW2012 system had a running DVA, and after the upgrade it still works. However, the Admin-Console doesn't know about it. Under "Document Viewer Agent" there is nothing, only create new.
    Is there a way to get the Admin-Console to see it or do I have to create a new one.
    Thanks,
    Brent

    Danita, you wrote
    You can simply create a new object in the Admin-Console. Unless you are
    planning on assigning the same DVA to multiple POs the actual object in the
    Admin Console is not that terribly important!
    What if I want to?
    At the moment I'm not 100% sure if the POA's are using the DVA. I guess that only webaccess is using it.
    How can I make sure that the POA's also use the already existing one?
    Thanks in advance,

  • My recent tags drop down doesn not show all of my bookmarks like it did before. They are saved but I have to go to organize bookmarks to find them. How can I expand the tags drop down?

    I switched computers and am in the process of adding by bookmarks and tagging them. Some of my tags no t longer appear in the drop down even though I have just viewed them. Any suggestions?

    The Views menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) is for displaying the bookmarks in different sorting orders (hence the name Views) and doesn't sort bookmarks permanently.
    Right-click a folder to open the context menu and choose "Sort By Name" in the left pane of the Bookmarks Manager or in the side bar to sort the bookmarks alphabetically or drag bookmarks to the wanted position. If dragging doesn't work then use Cut and Paste instead.

  • Since recent iTunes upgrade, Apple TV will no longer connect to iTunes

    several glitches, this being a big one. any suggestions?

    Now before winston says I am barking mad this is an all apple issue and should not be an issue
    I'm not saying this isn't a genuine issue for some, I just don't believe it's a general issue with 7.5, we get these reports after every upgrade and usually in quite high numbers, but as I said before high numbers usually mean 50 or so which isn't really a lot.
    I suspect many of these issues are caused because itunes has not installed properly due to a file being in the wrong place, corrupt, missing or having wrong permissions etc, which has not allowed the installer to overwrite, move, rename or delete etc that file or another one.
    I don't necessarily blame the user for this, but then again I'm not so sure you should blame  for it either, it can often occur through using poorly written 3rd party applications for example. The point I make or at least try to is that when trying to solve such issues it is often unhelpful not to have an open mind about the cause and hence the cure for such problems.

  • Linked .ai file doesn't show correctly in pdf, what to do?

    I have placed into my InDesign document an Illustrator file which contains white vector graphic elements on a transparent background (a map with lines and texts converted to vectors). The linked file shows correctly in InDesign but when I make a .pdf file it omits some of the texts (not all) in the .ai file. All of the texts have been converted to vectors so that shouldn't have anything to do with the problem. The quality of the pdf doesn't make any difference either. Could someone help me?

    Strange...Try this
    - Open you .ai file
    - Create a "my white" spot colour,  (I mean creat a white spot colour, and name it "my white" to not to be confused with the standard white)
    - select all your white elements and coulour them with  "my white"
    - save into standard .ai file
    - import the file into Indesign, the "my white" should appear in your colour swatch pannel
    - convert "my white" into CMYK ( you'll get the framed little quarter just beside your colour swatch)
    - export  your pdf file, whatever RVB or CMYK should work with both

  • ACR 5.5 doesn't show color profiles...

    ...although they are installed and were installed a few times :/
    When I open a RAW from sony alpha 350, it only shows Adobe Standard, Adobe Standard beta 2 and Adobe 4.4 profiles I don't even know how the list of profiles should look because it NEVER showed me any other profiles than these 3
    I am using CS4 with ACR 5.5 on 32 bit windows XP sp3
    HELP!!!
    p.s. I did most of the tricks i found here incl. manual installation and updates :/
    i can't find the profiles on my disk either, although i have installed them many times :/
    seems like if they install somewhere, but i can't find them anywhere on the pc
    another edit:
    The FAQ says the profiles should be saved to :
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
    after installation i still DON'T have that folder on my pc although it says it installed OK...

    You say you're having issues with all colors using with ACR 5.5 but didn’t have issues, previously.  What is the most recent previous version of ACR that you used when the colors appeared to be ok?  Was it ACR 5.4 or ACR 5.1 or ACR 4.6 or ACR 4.4?  I think there have been a couple different revisions of the camera profiles (Adobe Standard for your Sony) but nothing recently.  So I wonder if the issues you're seeing have been there all along and something is different with the photos or the processing where you're noticing the colors being off.
    Also, a monitor profile could make things look different.

Maybe you are looking for
