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

  • 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 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?

    I downloaded an app from my Ipod touch and it does not show up as an icon to open the app.  I went to reinstall the app and it says "installed"  How do I find the app so I can use it?

    Try using the Spotlight search on the iPod to try to find the app. It is likely that you just can't find it.

  • TS1382 I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it back up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that

    I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still showing 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it backed up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that memory or to get it the music back, there is approximately over 1400 songs on it?

    What is the memory being used by, is it Other? If it is, that means the iPod can no longer read the music, so it has put it all in "Other".
    The usual fix for this is to allow the iPod to Sync with its iTunes Library. If that doesn't work, the next option is to Restore the iPod using the Restore command in iTunes, on the Device/Summary pane.
    Unless you are very (very) lucky, I suspect that you are going to have to Restore your iPod. Restoring will remove everything form the iPod and put back onto it only what it finds in your iTunes Library, which you say is currently empty.
    If you have to rebuild your Library after this issue, by adding all the music back again, this is going to be hard to hear, but for the future, you may want to consider always having a backup of your library. The easiset way to back the Library up is;
    if the Library is small enough, burn it to a DVD, as digital files, not a "music CD".
    If your Library is too large for a DVD, buy yourself an external hard drive and copy the Library onto the drive. Remember to update the backup every so often.

  • HT1551 I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

    I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

    I had same problem last night with a movie rental not showing up under the 'Rented' tab in iTunes/Movies on my iMac: as I had no other rentals, there was no 'Rented' tab at all.
    In iTunes 11, the Downloads icon only appears next to the Search bar while there is an active download. Once any  downloads are finished, the icon disappears.  I had no icon so I had to assume the downloading had finished (in the previous UI you could check download progress even after they had finished).
    My movie rental did, however, show up under 'Rented Movies' under the 'Movies' tab in iTunes/Devices/(select any i/device) so I knew it was somewhere in my iTunes.  Yet, we couldn't access it via Apple TV.
    I fiddle around for a bit, restarting iTunes, restarting the iMac, to no avail.  Then I did a little housekeeping and moved a different movie I'd imported awhile ago, from the 'Home Videos' tab under iTunes/Movies.  Under File/Get Info, the 'Media Kind' was incorrectly set to 'Home Video' so I changed it to 'Movie'.  Thus the file was moved over into the Movies tab.  Hey Presto!  The Rented tab suddenly showed up, and there was my rented movie!
    This is the second time a movie rental did not show up after downloading.  Unfortunately my husband initiated the download so we figured he must've messed up somehow as he's not as familiar with iTunes as me.  Hence we opted to download the movie under a different iTunes account, which worked the second time with no problem.  Needless to say the invoice for the original download had no problem in finding us, hence we were effectively being charged twice for the same movie!  We have to contact apple support (such a hassle) but hopefully they will understand the issue (that's the difficult bit) and they are usually good at refunding when they finally accept the customer is genuine in their claim.
    In case anyone is tempted to critique my method, we download rentals through iTune on our computer as we had too many problems trying to rent via Apple TV.  Often the movie was not available to watch for many hours after it was rented, even though we'd start 'download' halfway through the day and sit down at night to watch it!  We have also had problems with movies that kept stopping during viewing because it wasn't streaming fast enough.  We'd give some time and come back to viewing, only to encounter the same.  One time we gave gave up and tried again the next evening, only to find the movie expired.  There is meant to be 48 hours after you've started viewing to resume watching a movie.  Apple's only response to this was to advise we needed a broadband internet connection to stream the movie - this was despite me already telling them we have broadband.
    Anyway, I hope this helps anyone experiencing similar issues with movie downloads.

    having problems trying to get my security question and answer sent to my email and it is not showing  up

    Do you mean that the reset link won't show on your account or that the email doesn't arrive on your rescue email address ?
    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions), or you aren't receiving the email to it (you've checked the spam folder on the account and tried clicking the reset link again) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

  • 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:

  • Finder not showing previews of Canon 5D Mark II raw files?

    I've updated to Mac OS 10.5.7 but the Finder is still not showing the previews of Canon 5D Mark II raw files.
    This is on a Mac Mini with 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Adobe support is generally unreliable.  You should install the latest version of ACR, 5.6.  It's easy to make a mistake with the manual installation instructions.  See this FAQ for troubleshooting:
