Adobe CS6 Bridge Does not open

I've recenly purchased Adobe Photoshop CS6 which functions OK but subseqently Bridge fails to open and operate.
I've tried the various preferences resetting procedures.
I've tried to download CS6 5.0.1.1 update which fails to install giving an error code:U44M2P7.
I consider it maybe necessary to uninstall and reinstall the entire CS6 program.
Please advise.
Thanks Brackenside

I've tried to download CS6 5.0.1.1 update
The latest version of Bridge CS6 is 5.0.2.4 and it is preferred to use the menu help / update instead of downloading the update itself. But if you need to download the file, check Adobe com / downloads / product trials and inhere choose product updates.
Inhere is a long list of updates, find Bridge and here you find both updates 5.0.1. and 5.0.2 for download.

I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended and Bridge does not open. Help?

I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended on MAC and Bridge does not open. It did open when I first downloaded it - but now a black question mark is over the BR icon and it does not open up. Any ideas from anyone?

Hi Steve -
I just thought it was interesting and helpful to me to learn that the icon for Bridge does not appear anywhere. Not in Application Folder. Not in the Finders Directory Files. I see your point - if I could locate that icon - I'd be set by dragging it onto my DOCK and launching it from there.
So - I'm assuming I need to uninstall CS6. Please list all the steps for me to uninstall so that I don't miss any CS6 files.
When I search in FINDER for CS6 uninstall- I see two icons - red adobe "UNINSTALL ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS6" (both files are identical) Under KIND they both say Alias - with two different dates they were last opened (in November - few minutes apart). Is that what I use to uninstall completely all the files related to PS CS6 Extended as well as Bridge?
Do I need to DEACTIVATE ANYTHING ANYWHERE?
DOES ANYTHING NEED TO GO INTO TRASH.
I just want to make sure 'everything' related to CS6 Extended is off my computer and out of all the files. In the event i want to re-install - naturally I don't want to run into any conflicting 'issues'.
Do you think if I reinstall I will run into this same problem again (BR not launching)? Is there anything I can do to prevent it? I note on the forums - going a few years back - that there have been a lot of issues related to this same problem - even in other versions of the Creative Suite. Is Adobe doing anything to rectify this problem for us Photoshop CS Suite lovers or is all their focus just going into CC?
Thank you so much for trying to help me resolve this issue. It is very frustrating to have an Adobe product that is not completely functional. Especially when the Creative Suites are so expensive. I appreciate all the time you've put into this issue.

I am having problems opening images renerated in lightroom5 into cs6. Cs6 bridge does not see the lightroom libarary. If I open lightroom and right clik the image, edit in cs6, 6 opens but the picture doesnot follow. What is going on? Give me a hand.

What edition of LR 5? What edition of ACR does PSCS 6 contain. If they are not parallel (same edition number x in [5 or 8].x ), is LR making a tiff or psd rendition of the image?

Mini Bridge does not open in InDesign after installing 8.0.2 upgrade

This question was previously posted in the InDesign forum (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5833991#5833991), but it was suggested that I should cross post it here.
I installed InDesign CS6 upgrade 8.0.2. Now I cannot open Mini Bridge.
If Bridge is not already open,
     - selecting File | Browse in Bridge... or clicking on the Bridge button: Bridge opens - good!
     - control-click on the Bridge button: I get a Reset Settings error dialog - NOT good! I cancelled this and Bridge opened fullscreen okay.
     - alt-click on the Bridge button: Two Bridge applications opened fullscreen! - NOT good!
     - shift-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens, but Mini Bridge does not! - NOT good!
If Bridge is already open,
     - selecting File | Browse in Bridge... or clicking on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and nothing else happens! - NOT good!
     - control-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens maximized! - good!
     - alt-click on the Bridge button: the already opened Bridge, plus a new Bridge, both open! - is this normal?
     - shift-click on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and Mini Bridge does not open! - NOT good!
I have tried resetting the preferences in Bridge and rebooted after doing so.
My main concern is that I cannot get Mini Bridge to open at all. I can ignore the other problems mentioned above, if I can just get Mini Bridge to open.
This problem does not exist in Photoshop CS6.
I have restored my C: drive from backup twice and tried the upgrade a total of three times. The results are the same each time.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing my problem and how I might correct it? I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1, 3.40 GHz Intel Core i7-3770 CPU, 32.0 GB installed memory.

Sorry to hear that, forgot to mention the resetting of preferences in InDesign.
Have you also tried that (ctrlAltShift while starting ID)?
I'm afraid I have not really more ideas and I am a Mac user and don't know anything relevant about Windows.
And ultimate you have of course the option to reinstall CS6 after an official uninstall in combination with the Adobe Clean Tool. But before doing so read all instructions and have a proper back up of all relevant customized settings, workspaces etc.

Mac CS6 Bridge will not open

I know this has been discussed a lot on the forums and I have read all of those, but I am frustrated after 3 weeks of working on this. I bouht my wife Photoshop CS6 for xmas and loaded on our iMac running 10.8.2. She was running Elements 8. CS6 Bridge will not open. Get a message "operation can not be completed". It will also not open from inside Photoshop either. Following other posts, went into Library and deleted switchboard folder, plist files, and other listed files. Did an option start on CS6 and reset to factory, delete thunbnails. Performed PRAM and disk permissions repair. None of this has fixed the problem. The only thing that works is creating a new user account. Bridge opens fine in my test account. Next step is to make test account the main account; however, this is going to be a pain. Any other ideas before I undertake this?

Looks like you have tried all the suggested methods, so good job on that. Your solution to create a new account is one that has worked for many where nothing else has worked. This usually means some permission or default setting has not been affected by your actions.
The only suggestion I can offer is to uninstall CS6, run Adobe Script Cleaner, then reinstall. Hope this works.

Hi Peter,
Just to bring you up to speed on what has happened to this issue, none of the suggestions that I received in the Bridge forum helped. However, after restoring my C: drive back to prior to my updating attempts, I was able to successfully upgrade InDesign in Safe Mode (this is a Windows startup mode that blocks non-Microsoft applications from starting up on reboot). Mini Bridge is now working correctly.
Thank you again for your assistance.

It seems that something is still wrong. The error message appears again.

The first time you try to open it, it could take a minute or so, but if you have waited 10 minutes and gotten nothing, then there is a problem.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application?

Hi Daniel,
What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
Please check if 'Print Spooler' service is running on the machine.

Bridge issues: Bridge does not open. It can show multiple times in TaskBar but nothing to user

Issue 1 Bridge does not open. If you click on the application multiple times in trying to get it to load... it shows the app multiple times in the TASK BAR Manager.

Sounds like you may need to restart the computer Braswels.
Try that and see if it resolves the issue.

Adobe Help (F1) Does Not Open - Applies to All Applications in TCS 3.5

I've installed version 3.5 of the Technical Communications Suite (TCS) on a windows XP 32 computer. All of the applications open as they should but the HELP for each application does not open. Any suggestions?

So you've copied the contents of the DVD into some folder on the server & then are running the installer at a workstation by browsing to it on the server drive. Does the workstation have full admin rights? Remember, if installing on Vista or higher, you have to manually "give" yourself full rights to your C:\ drive - it doesn't happen automatically like it did with XP.
I'm still not positive that installing this way will work correctly. If you think it is, try running the AIR runtime (freebie off the Adobe website) on the workstation & see if the help appears.
Oh & the workstations have access to the internet, right? If they don't, then you'll definitely need to contact Support to get activated.

Adobe Encore Help does not open

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application?

Bridge does not open images in PS CC (or give an option), Instead it opens in PS CS6

Also, I can't set PS CC as a default using Windows 8. PS CC does not show on the list when choosing defaults for file types, etc. When in bridge, images open in PS CS6 and it does not have PS CC available as a choice when I right click and click "open with" (open with is not on the menu anymore.)

I am having the same problem. I've made sure I have Bridge CC open and when I try and open an image, the default is PS CS6, how do I change the default setting to be PS CC? Totally frustrating.

Bridge does not open Photoshop CC files

When I try to open a photoshop cc file in Bridge I get a message that says " Windows cannot find C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. Even though The last version of CS I had was CS6 and even though the file I am trying to open was made with Photoshop CC.
I checked my startup scripts and there does not appear to be one for PhotoshopCC. Where do I find them and how do I get them to install properly?

I noticed that there are still adobe folders for photoshop and premiere on the computer. Should I just delete those folders?
Use Easy Find (Devon) and run Adobe in search field. From the list select the folders that you have doubt about and choose Show in finder option. Then look at the content. If it are custom settings like actions, tools, brushes best keep them save.
But to be totally on the save side select all search result and copy them to a separate disk as Back Up so you can always find some lost customized settings back. All other deleted files should be reinstalled as per new install on new disk.
I would like to get it right this time. I was also wondering if I can still download the dmg directly from adobe or is that not available anymore.
If you have bought a download version of the Master Collection for CS6 then their should be a possibility to download it again using your Adobe ID. The new CC can be downloaded again using ACC.
Otherwise you have to contact Adobe customer support for a new copy or download.
