Adobe Bridge Not Showing Preview

I have opened PS and launched Bridge but it doesn't show like it normally does. I see Bridge icon in the tray
across the bottom of my screen and have tried clicking, dbl clicking, control clicking and nothing happens.
I've rebooted, undocked my laptop and rebooted, and still I can't see my CR files from my memory card
in the normal preview window. Is there a setting I need to change or is there something wrong? Help!
Thanks, Lisa

I'm not clear on what you're seeing. Can you see Bridge on your screen? If yes, then you may need to reset your workspace:
Window > Workspace > Reset Workspace.
If your workspace is fine, maybe the issue is with file association. It's diffiicult to to say. Could you post a screenshot, please? [Use PrtScn, open Photoshop, Ctrl-N, then Ctrl-V]
If the Bridge window is missing, you can try to maximise it by clicking the taskbar button for Bridge to bring it to the foreground, then press Alt - Space - X. Another method is to move an off-screen window using Alt - Space - M followed by the arrow keys, and Enter to save the new position.

Why is Adobe Bridge not showing the changes I had done on Camera Raw?

Dear all, I am trying out Adobe Bridge and discovered that after editing in Camera Raw (ACR), the changes was not shown on the thumbnail.
I am using photo (1), which is the top left corner photo, as my main and tried to apply changes to the remaining 5 photos.
I randomly changed the temperature to the mix and click "done".
You can see that (1) thumbnail did not change after my changes in ACR. Nevetheless, I then apply previous conversion to the remaining photos.
Neither (1) nor other photos have changes on the thumbnail.
Please note that when I check all the photos, inside ACR, I can see the changes (in temperature).
How may I make the thumbnail change show in Bridge after I edited in ACR? The purpose is that I hope that from the look (without clicking), I know there is changes (e.g changes in temperature).
[Note: I do not own the photo(s)]
Thank you for your help.

Hi station_two, thank you for the very quick respond. I had found out the problem is my setting as followings:
My solution is as followings (after Develop setting> Previous conversion):

Adobe Bridge not showing updated folders or files

I created a couple of new folders on a network drive yesterday afternoon (via Windows 7 explorer) and popped in some photographs. Adobe Bridge doesn't show the new folders. I've searched everywhere under lots of different keywords but, while a few people seem to have experienced this, nobody seems to have listed a solution anywhere.
I'd be very grateful for any advice.

Check your permissions and clear the Bridge Cache.

And again, Bridge not showing previews, CS4, very aggravating

I've tried all the stuff on Adobe's page about this, but like many others it's not solved my problem. Did the LRoom 2.7 update and the ACR 5.7 update and since then Bridge CS4 only shows crappy icons instead of previews for RAW files. I've tried everything, to no avail.
I'm hoping someone has found a solution for this, it's really a pain and I'm at wit's end.
Thanks.

Thanks, and I've tried all those moves, and still the same thing. Along with
Lightroom 2.7 I'm running Photoshop CS3 so I have two ACRs in the Plugins
folder since CS3 doesn't recognize the new ACR (5.7). When ACR 5.6 was in
there, all was fine.
There is your problem, you've messed up with the plug ins
Forgot about CS3 but I believe that ACR 4.x was the latest for that, CS4
needs 5.x (5.7 is the latest update) and they are not interchangeable.
You can only have one plugin per CS but you can have CS3, CS4 (and soon CS5)
as each one folder in the path for root library/AppSupport?Adobe/Plug Ins
containing the dedicated version of ACR plug in.
If you don't have CS4 but need Raw support for your files you should use the
free Adobe DNG Converter. After converting the originals to DNG you are able
to open them in the CS3 ACR window.
However keep in mind that ACR CS4 had a lot of benefit regarding highlight
recovery and fill light etc as CS5 will even have better results
Everything was working fine until the updates were done yesterday. Even
stranger, when I first launched Bridge after the updating was done, I saw the
preview files for a second or two, then the icons replaced them as if by
magic. Does Adobe have David Copperfield working for them now?
That is normal behavior and far from magic I'm afraid...
Every time you change settings in ACR or make a new default setting or start
using another ACR plug in the files need to rebuild the cache for thumbs and
preview. You only saw a glimpse of the old ones, the new ones should start
to rebuild but there is no plug in for reference anymore

Why does bridge not show preview?

I am an experienced cs5 user and just installed cs6. When I select an image in Bridge, I just get an icon in the preview box and the file number. I have never seen this in cs5. What is going on here?

Please refer to the Bridge Forum or at least provide a screenshot and tell which formats the images are.
Also which Workspaces have you tried?

Adobe Bridge not showing some images

After a crash of my PC (Windows XP Home), I had to re-install Photoshop CS2. Now, however, when I'm trying to review images in Bridge (in filmstrip view) only some of the thumbnails appear as photos; the remainder appear only as icons. There appears to be no consistency; some are PSD files, some are TIF files. The rotating "clock hands" on the lower left (when images are loading) do not even appear in those cases.
Any idea how to get this back? It's really tough reviewing images when I can't even see them!
Thank you in advance for your help. --Dennis

Scripts in Adobe Bridge not loading

Startup Scripts in Adobe Bridge not loading when I am in my admin account. I made a new account and the scripts load fine. Is there a permission issue or something? Adobe and I tracked it to a system issue and they left me there. Other than setting up this new account and just using that, is there any alturnitives that will help me keep my current account and make Bridge load right?

You need to check two things:
1) are you uploading the new files each time you make any change?
2) Are you clearing the browser cache just in cache it is not refreshing because of the same name?
When you have checked these two things and if the problem persists then you will need to upload the page and provide a link here to others to check in their browsers and to see if all the pictures are online.
Hope this helps.

Cs6 bridge not showing thumbnails for raw file

Just upgraded to CS6
cs6 bridge not showing thumbnails for raw files.
Can see thumbnails in CS5.1 bridge and LR 4.2 which fortunately i did not uninstall.
Bummer since I am up against a hard deadline.
Really Sucks

We can't know. You are not offering any system information or e.g. info about what image files you are working with. Since they do show up in your otehr programs, my assumption would be that you need to switch the Camera Raw engine back to the 2009/2010 version in Photoshop and not use the default new 2012 one. Perhaps your thumbnails will appear then....

Pallets do not show preview first time when clicked

My pallet bars in Photoshop CS4 do not show preview in first instance. For example, my Navigator bar does not show the image of the layout until you click in-n-out of the bar several times, than it appears. Same With History bar. History bar is a little faster to appear, I only need to click out of it ones for the history states to appear. This is annoying me because this slowness of pallet bar rendering is driving me insane. I can't get anything done. I'm running Snow Leopard.
Here are the images to describe the problem:

I don’t know what the problem is, but I have a suspicion that You may be short on RAM.
You might try to tune Your Preferences – Performance-settings.

Bridge CC is not showing previews for PSD, PDF, AI

I am unable to see previews of these in Bridge CC. It doesn't seem to be hanging or busy regenerating previews, just won't show them. Double clicking opens the in relevant program. Using Windows 7 Pro and 64-bit version.

Welcome to the forum,
Not sure if it's the issue or if it will help, but you could try purging the cache, etc..
http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/adobe-bridge-workspace.html
Restore preferences
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.
If that does not help, you may try searching the Bridge forum or asking there.

16bit Tiff & PSD previews in Bridge not showing correctly

Large multi layered Tiff, PSD and PSB files which have alpha channels, masks and layers, etc. do not show appropriate previews in Bridge (nor Windows for that matter). Many of these are very large 2-4GB, but even a typical 30-60MB file with certain alpha channels and masks are also problematic with previews. I believe the problem appears mostly when the base images ar 16bit since the 8bit version exhibit properly most of the time.
Is this an issue which has a remedy?
Thanks,
Doug A
Photoshop CS5, Windows 7, 64bit.

As Jeff said, this should fix the very large files, but I would recommend to post in the Bridge forum, or on http://feedback.photoshop.com if you still have trouble with 30 -60 Mb files.

Adobe Bridge Freezes While Previewing Animation Presets

Hello
I know this question has been asked several times over, but I do not have a resolution so I thought would ask again. Like the previous posts, when I browse presets from the Effects and Animations menu, Adobe Bridge opens. I can scroll through the animations, but once I choose one, the play button scrubs and appears to play, but never does, and then the program freezes. I have read the blog posts and installed the fixes posted on the adobe blog, but nothing helps. All of my Apple Software and Creative Cloud software says it is up to date.
Here are my settings:
Adobe After Effects 12.2.1.5
Adobe Bridge 6.0.1.6
Apple Quicktime 10.1
20-inch, Early 2008 iMac OS X
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
Any guidance you can offer is much appreciated!
Thank you,

Thanks for the quick reply Rick. Yes, 4Gb is not a lot, but when I bought the machine I was not doing any video and it sure seemed like plenty in 2008. I probably should upgrade...
I did close down everything else, but the problem still exists. I can navigate to a thumbnail, but once I click on it and try to preview, the program freezes and I have to force quit.

Adobe bridge wont show my .orf files

ok, I have updated to the last version of adobe bridge, I have the last light room plugin for photoshop and still wont work, I mean, I only see the icons of the .orf files in bridge, but it just won't show all the metadata neither the thumbnails!!! this is driving me crazy, please help me

Ramón made a typo (which he does not often btw) and meant Bridge 2.1.1.9.
Apart from that if you follow his advice and read and follow all the install instructions carefully about the Photoshop plugin Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 4.5 and your dslr is in the supported list you should have no problem in viewing the files correctly.
