Adobe Bridge Search Tool Just Stopped Working

i recently upgraded to CS6 and all was well for a couple weeks then all of the sudden the search tool in bridge just flat out stopped working. i always used it to search for keywords and it worked almost flawlessly until today. i have thousands of photos on multiple hard drives and ive even tried indexing them to no avail. nothing works. ive used both the search bar in the top right corner as well as the find window and still nada. i purged the cache, i rebuilt the cache and did everything else i could think of still to no avail. ive googled and googled and googled and found absolutely no help in resolving this issue. i reset bridge during startup also to no avail. i even indexed specific files in specific folders and pointed the search directly to those folders and still nothing. i dont know what else to try at this point. can anyone offer any suggestions before i give up and just re-install the product (which i REALLY dont wanna do)?
im running CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit .. and again, it worked fine until today. i havent changed any settings or modified anything that i can think of that would have thrown bridge out of whack.

Weird. Have you tried resetting Bridge (Ctrl/Cmd-click icon)?
Maybe the cache is damaged or unwriteable?
I assume that the index is created in the Cache 'data' folder, and that this is the root of your problem. As an experiment, you could create a new folder in a known good writeable location on an internal drive, and change the cache location in Bridge Preferences (making a note of the existing location first). When you restart Bridge, it will use the new location, and automatically create a new index and preview cache.
Then try a search in one folder, for a known used keyword, making sure you have indexing turned on in the search options. Let us know how you get on.

My Elements 9 cropping tool just stopped working...crops the entire photo.

My Elements 9 cropping tool just started cropping the entire image away today. Just got an Adobe air update last night. This is nothing I have done. All that's left after using my crop tool is a .jpg symbol. Please help.

First try resetting the tool. If that doesn't work delete the settings file by holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift as you start PSE and answering the prompt to delete.
Cheers,
Neale

Infuriating 'Adobe InDesign CC 2014 has stopped working error' has lost me a day. Just got dumped by chat support...

Hi All,
I've taken a few deep breaths before writing this to try and avoid a hugely frustrated rant.
To summarise; since early this morning my previously healthy version of InDesign CC 2014 has been unable to open, crashing at the 'Executing startup services...' stage with the error message 'Adobe InDesign CC 2014 has stopped working'. I worked on it all day yesterday and use it extensively every day more or less, this problem came out of nowhere overnight. I didn't do any kind of system update in the interim period. I'm using a HP Envy dv7 Notebook PC running Windows 8.
I tried as much as I could based on my own very limited knowledge and some forum searching. I re-installed the software. Did that again using the Adobe CC cleaner .exe file in between un-install and re-install. I uninstalled older versions of the software (which all worked fine - as does the rest of the Creative Suite software I have installed. I deleted extensions. None of this helped.
I then went looking for Adobe support and got a guy via Adobe's chat controlling my PC from afar and trying some much deeper technical stuff. After two hours he said that it was an OS issue, sorry... after a bit of dismayed pleading he said OK, I'll try one more thing and made me a new user with administration power, told me to login in to that account and try again. I did, it worked! But it's still broken on my main account and he disconnected in the few minutes I was gone and I now seem to be frozen out of chat help. HELP!
What does this mean? All CS/CC software seems to be working fine on my normal account apart from InDesign CC 2014. I have a huge file, now very close to being overdue, which I was working on in 2014 CC and can't be opened by older versions. The software works on this other account - so I guess I can work there short term. But how do I get it fixed on my main account?
Hopefully someone out there has the answer?
Thanks!
Luke

First, see Replace Your Preferences and do it for the original account.
If that fails to solve the problem, rename the two Adobe folders that contain the prefs in the user profile for that account and copy the folders from the new account where it works. You want to be sure you copy the folders, rather than merge the contents, so you must rename the old folders first.

My lock button doesn't work. It didn't break, it just stopped working

Ok. So apparently during a workout outside, my brand new, month old iPhone 4S decides it wants to workout too. So I brought it to my workout, put it in a backpack, and set the bag down as I normally do. The dew on the grass that morning apparently casused enough condensation to trigger my litmus paper, and now my brnad new iPhone has no warranty, hence my question here. I have been searching for a week or 2 now on information for this, and can find nothing. Apple will do nothing but tellme they can replace the phone for $200 but then won't wanswer questions about the issue itself, and I seem to be the only iPhone owner in the world with this problem, so it's nowhere on the intarwebz.
So my lock button, up top, on the shoulder, stopped working. It didn't break, it didn't get stuck down, it just stopped working. Like, the screen flashed (go to wake the phone up, it didn't wake up, so I pressed the button again, and it flashed on and then off again real quick, like normally would). Hit it again, nothing. Hit the Home button, woke up. Played with phone, etc, went to put to sleep...... nothing. Hit the button multiple times, nothing. Button still clicks down and functions as the button itself should, but no sleep or wake. The button only actually does what it's supposed to do when I hard reset, or the phone is off and I'm turning it on. I can't take a screenshoot of the phone, and every now and then my phone will be just sitting on the table or wherever, and it will wake up, the "Slide to Close" bar pops up, and then 15 seconds later, goes back to bed.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, and what should I look at fixing inside? I have not taken this one apart yet as I don't have the tools anymore, waiting on them to get here, but I figure Apple has screwed me on my warranty, so I'm just going to fix it myself. Never had this specific issue before, so I'm not really sure what the **** is messed up until I can take a look inside. Any help until then would be wonderful. Sorry for the long back story, and thanks for looking.

Your problem is rare from the symptoms you describe. Most lose the click function, yours still has it. Yours functions sporadically or only for certain functions. Maybe it is liquid damage causing this. Maybe it will dry and be OK.
While waiting for your Pentalobe Screwdriver, try a Firmware Restore with iTunes. See if this helps. If you still decide to procede, the first step inside should be to carefully disconnect the battery at its connector. Also all the screws inside are different sizes, except for some of the Screen screws, so keep them well sorted.

Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working

When ever I launch Photoshop CC 2014 I get the message Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working and then the program closes. I happens about 5 seconds after I open the program. I just downloaded yesterday and have not been able to use it at all. Any Ideas?
Windows computer - all other Adobe CC products are working fine

I'm having exactly the same issue. I have no idea how to check out the video card. I'm an artist and incredibly technically handicapped. This is happening on my Brand New Cintiq Companion with windows 8.1. Cant think anything could be out of date already? If someone could post a step by step process to resolving the issue for someone like myself who doesn't know where to start that would be greatly appreciated. I have read the whole thread but still feel nervous to proceed with any rearranging.
"Adobe support indicated that igdfcl64.dll from my Intel's graphics card was causing the issue. After updating the card and nothing changed I did some more research. Searched info about the driver and found out it needed to be copied to windows\sysWOW64 folder. "
I'd like to follow the above advice but if possible some more info would be appreciated.

Adobe CEP Service Manager has stopped working

I had repeated problems installing Creative Cloud for the desktop, after it asked me to upgrade.
After renaming OOBE and using the cleaning tool several times, i got Creative Cloud to finally install.
But when I tried to run it, I get "Adobe CEP Service Manager has stopped working".
So I'm still dead in the water. This is just the latest of a string of problems I've had in installing
Creative Cloud for the desktop on my several PCs.
Any suggestions?

Hi Ken,
Does right click run and Administrator when launching the Creative Cloud for desktop make any difference?

"Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 has stopped working" but was working fine a week ago...

On my desktop (Dell XPS 8300), I keep getting the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 has stopped working" when openng up a previously created project or trying to create a new one in Premiere Pro CS6.
On my laptop (MS Surface Pro 2), I can load projects and edit them, but I cannot export media. When I try, it just sits there and does nothing. I've also tried sending it to Media Encoder, but that doesn't help either. Sometimes, it crashes too.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on both with the latest updates installed.
Oddly, this started roughly around the same time on both computers.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, but that didn't help.
I've run the Windows troubleshooter and that didn't help either.
I've tried running as an administrator, and running the program in compatibility mode for Windows 8, 7 and Vista - that doesn't solve the issue either.
At this point, I can't do any work and am even considering paying for CC even though I just dropped $700 on CS6 last year, but I'm wondering if that would even solve the issue, or if the CC version would also not work...

>started roughly around the same time on both computers
Most likely cause is a Windows update that changed "something" about the video system
Check the vendor site (NOT Windows update) for a newer video driver

Adobe AIR Debug Launcher has stopped working Error on Flash Builder 4.6

Hi,
Maybe you could help me out here as I’ve search the web and Adobe forum but could not find any answer.
I just installed Flash Builder 4.6 (after uninstalling 4.5.1), now when I run my app, the adl.exe crashes (error details below). I thought because I have an app that was created with 4.5, but then I created a new app with this version and it still crash. I have Windows 7 64-bit PC.

Dear, I had the same problema.
Was the sandbox from firewall.
I disabled and worked.

Adobe [program name] CS3 has stopped working....

I am attempting to run programs from the Adobe CS3 suite on my laptop, which runs with Windows Vista. My Adobe CS3 programs all show the "Adobe [program name] CS3 has stopped working" message, followed by a brief attempt to fix the problem by windows. Until this morning, the programs had been running without incident for several months.
Does problem sound familiar? What can be done to solve it?

Lots of things are known to cause issues with the CS3 installer, including besides the obvious antivirus and spyware scanners and firewalls things like iTunes, instant messengers, browser helper toolbars like the Google Toolbar, and previous versions of the Flash player, which I would have thought would be removed by the clean script, but there is a tool here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
Also, be sure jscript.dll is properly registered. It won't hurt to do that again. Click Start > Run and type regsvr32 jscript.dll with the space, but without the quotes, and hit enter. You should see a dialog saying it was successful.
Click Start > Run and type MSconfig and hit enter. Disable all non-essential services and all non-essential items in the startup items, particularly anything to do with Anti-virus, spyware protection or third party firewalls, and then reboot. You can hide all Microsoft service in the services tab of MSconfig to make it easier, and most of whats left will be non-essential, though if anything looks like it has to do with your DVD drive or your mouse youll want to leave it checked. Its probably safe to turn off everything in the Startup tab, but again, if you recognize a mouse driver, leave it on. MSconfig will run as soon as you restart the computer and if everything seems OK, just cancel for the moment.
Be sure the Windows firewall is disabled. Third-party firewalls should have been disabled in Msconfig. Other things that should be disabled include any instant messenger, iTunes, and Google toolbars or similar from other vendors if you run them.
Be sure Java is enabled in the browser, and that you have a default printer (LOCAL - can be fax viewer if necessary) online.
After the installer runs, reboot, and when MSconfig starts change it back to "Normal Startup" and reboot again.

My Adobe Acrobat X (CS6) suddenly stopped working!

My Adobe Acrobat X (CS6) suddenly stopped working, I can't open or edit documents. I am on Windows 8.1, this just started happening yesterday. I have re-installed it to repair any possible problems, I am a registered user. Please help me!! Can't submit my assignments if I can't use my product!

The license info would be on the jewel case or CD that you got from the university. If it was downloaded, they typically provide the license key in that process that you have to write down or copy. As long as you are still covered under the license, maybe another individual has the license key available. It would be appropriate for them to ask for confirmation on your payment of the license fee or whatever process the university has.
In the meantime, go to the Start>Control Panel>Programs & ... When the program list comes up search for Acrobat.exe and do a repair.
