Adobe Bridge CS6 - Freezing

When I open bridge it starts putting up thumbnails, and then freezes.  I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 and it's been doing it since my initial installation.  It worked fine when I only clicked a small folder with a few files, but when I clicked my DropBox folder where all my images are, it just sits and then freezes saying 'not responding'.

Is the problem in this post similar?  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1086627?tstart=0

  • Windows 8 Pro Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.1.23 x64 not responding

    On my new SSD with a fresh install of Windows 8 Pro and Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium, I regularly get a "(not responding)" warning in Bridge's (5.0.1.23 x64) title bar when opening a folder location, and the program takes around 10-20 seconds to display folder contents. This seems to be an indexing or caching issue, but I have not resolved it through the following fix attempts.
    In Bridge settings, I have placed the cache on the OS SSD at "C:\Users\York\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS6\Cache", and I have placed it on a separate internal physical HDD at "D:\Adobe Bridge CS6 temp cache". I have experimented with all other options (100% previews, export, manage, compact, and purge cache - restarting the app after each tweak).
    I have Ctrl-opened Bridge to access the "Reset setting" dialog box, where I restored default preferences and purged the cache. This did seem to alleviate the problem temporarily, but it did not resolve it.
    I have not uninstalled, repaired, or re-installed Bridge because it is not listed as a standalone app in the "Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features > Uninstall or change a program" window or the Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium installer.
    My system is Intel i7-2600K, Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z, Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 32GB RAM, Samsung 840 250GB SSD, various HDDs.
    My other system, an Intel Quad-Core Q6600, Asus P5Q-Pro, AMD Radeon HD 6950, 8GB RAM, Samsung 840 250GB SSD, various HDDs, does not have this problem.
    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Thanks for the input, Curt. I have not changed the TEMP/TMP directories, which are set per Adobe instructions at http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/bridge-crashes-changing-temp-file.html. Temporary "not responding" freezes (10-20 seconds) are my issue. Crashes, as others are reporting due to the temp directories, are not occurring.  Other thoughts are appreciated.

  • Bridge CS6 freezes when generating PDF output (windows 8)

    I am using Adobe Bridge CS6 (64bit) on a Windows 8 machine. I have photos that I want to output to PDF. Bridge will freeze in the process of generating the PDF file. I have to go to the Task Manager to quit. Sometimes the PDF file has been made successfully when I look for it. Other times not.

    I have photos that I want to output to PDF. Bridge will freeze in the process of generating the PDF file.
    How many files and how big are these files?
    What filetype do you use?
    Output (as Bridge itself) can be very processor demanding on a big task and enough RAM and free space left on start up disk.
    How much RAM and free space do you have?

  • Bridge cs6 freezes when i select video files

    Was hoping someone could help me solve this problem
    I just installed CS6 master collection however am having a problem with bridge
    even though bridge displays thumbnails of my avi files, every time i click on an avi file to select it bridge hangs/freezes and i have to force quit
    this also happens when i select all in a folder that has avi files or other video files in it
    it even happens when i select a folder that has a video file in it..it just hangs and stops responding
    i still have bridge cs5 installed and it is displaying all files in folders perfectly including video files
    the avi files are from my camera therefore they are really all around 1-3mins long
    OS: Mac 10.6.8
    i7
    media stored on external hardrive firewire 8

    i followed your instructions and after restarting bridge it actually let me select the folder with the video files...it displayed the first 19 preview extractions with their thumbnails in the content pane in less than a second
    then it took 40 minutes to show the next 80 and with these there were no thumbnail preview files
    it took at least a minute after clicking on a video file for bridge to select it and tho it did display the metadata there were no preview in the preview pane
    after restarting bridge a second time..i encountered the same problem as before...inability to even select the folder with the avi files
    i dont know if this will help but these 3 error messages appear everytime it hangs ( i don't understand what they mean but maybe you do)

  • 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

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 on Retina Display

    I just installed Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Retina Macbook Pro and updated Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop with the latest updates. In Photoshop, everything looks crisp (including Camera Raw when opening it from Photoshop), but Bridge is still blurry. In addition, when opening Camera Raw from Bridge, everything is blurry. There are no updates available for Bridge/Photoshop/Camera Raw when I check for updates...any ideas on fixing this?
    Adobe Bridge CS6 - 5.0.2.4
    Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended 13.0.6 x64
    Adobe Camera Raw 8.3.0.141

    There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 display question

    I am a landscape photographer.  Many times I shoot multiple exposures of the same scene to combine them later in HDR.  These are generally 3 or 5 exposures taken at the same time.  It would be very useful to see each set of multiple exposures on a separate line in Adobe Bridge so I can quickly choose which set to use for processing in HDR.  Does anybody know how to do that?  I could not see it in the View options in the menu bar of Bridge.  I am using Adobe Bridge CS6 (5.0.1.21) on MAC OSX 10.6.8. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    It would be very useful to see each set of multiple exposures on a separate line in Adobe Bridge so I can quickly choose which set to use for processing in HDR
    You can't do so in Bridge when having different amounts of series. If you shot always 5 you could drag the content window to a new size in combination with changing the thumbnail size so 5 thumbs would show in a row. The same with 3 but there is no way to have a content window showing 1 line with 3 and 1 line with 5 files in the same panel.
    In filmstrip mode you have 1 single line but that does not meet you wishes also.
    There is the option to auto stack for HDR or Photomerge (Stacks / Auto stack Panorama-HDR) but frankly spoken this sucks because it either does not do the job properly or simply crashes Bridge to my experience.

  • Adobe Bridge (CS6) - bulk action - JPEG Options must be OKed for every image

    Hi all-
    I created an action script for a watermark in Photoshop CS6. Then, I ran my script as a bulk action in Adobe Bridge (CS6) against my JPEGs. However, the JPEG Options dialog/window appears for every image in PS. Is there a way to have this automatically OK (and at the highest quality) so that I don't have to sit and click OK over and over?
    I am on a Mac btw.
    Thanks!

  • Camera Raw Preferences in Adobe Bridge CS6

    I can click on Camera Raw Preferences from the Adobe CS6 Menu, but nothing happens. No error meesages come up, but nothing happens.
    I recently installed ACR7.3. I did have some problems getting ACR7.3 installed. The updater from Photoshop and Bridge didn't seem to install it.  I had to download ACR7 and install it.
    After the successful install of ACR7.3,  I can double click on an image in Adobe Bridge CS6 and it will open the raw image in ACR7.3 in Photoshop CS6.
    The other annoyance is that the images for my RAW files for my Panasonci GH3 don't display in Adobe Bridge. They appear as a blank icon
    I am running on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 64 bit
    Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.0.399
    Adobe Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
    Adobe PS C6 13.0.4  x64
    I do have older versions of Adobe CS5 and CS4 that I have never removed. I've never had problems before. And didn't need the space so I just left them.
    Any ideas of why Adobe Bridge CS6 and ACR7.3 aren't in sync? - Thanks Rod

    Ok, everything was ok until I rebooted my machine. Now when I open Adobe Bridge CS6, The Raw images show up initially. But when Adobe Bridge finally gives me control, the images have become blank icons again. I've tried the CommandOptionShift and it does not help.  It was fine for two weeks and now I can't get the raw images to stay.
    Here is what I see as Adobe Opens the older. The Raw images are viewable.
    Now this is how they look after Adobe Bridge has finished opening and I can click on something:
    Where do I go from here?

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 crashing before starting 5.0.2.4

    Hi there,
    Adobe bridge is crashing for me before even starting.
    I'm running as an Administrator on Windows 7x64 and using the latest version of Bridge, 5.0.2.4
    It came with Adobe inDesign 8.0.2 which works perfectly, the only problematic app on the workstation is Bridge. 
    I do have a version of Adobe Photoshop CS2 also installed. I understand this was an issue that was supposedly patched by Adobe a year ago reading up on the forums but this problem still obviously exists.
    Even uninstalling all CS2 products and running CCleaner to wipe out all registry references to CS2 does not fix Bridge CS6.
    Adobe, please advice on what to do next

  • Can't see CR2 files in Adobe Bridge CS6

    I have recently purchased Canon 5D Mark iii and have taken a few shots in RAW mode. When I try to open the file in Adobe Bridge CS6, I can't view the file.
    I also have a canon T2i and the raw file from that camera show perfectly fine.
    What could be the problem? All my CS6 software is up to date.

    Updated to ACR 8.4? There is an issue:

    A reinstall rarely solves problems.  Try resetting preferences.  HOld down Ctrl key and start Bridge.  You will get a reset window.
