Bridge CC running slugish

I constantly use Bridge, but this problem is making it almost impossible to use.
I am using Bridge CC 2014 on Windows 8.1. Bridge has suddenly started running sluggish, taking much longer than usual to load thumbnails, then more time before I can click on one, then move, delete, or even open. I recently deleted Photoshop CS6 and the problem started after that. I uninstalled Bridge and reinstalled thinking that when I uninstalled Photoshop CS6, it might of also uninstalled a necessary file, but the problem still remains.
Any solutions to getting Bridge back up and running at its usual speed?
Here are the specs for my machine
Intel(R) Core i5-4570 CPU @3.20 GHz
12 RAM memory
64 bit operating system
I have a 2 tb main hard drive with two additional internal 1 tb hard drives
I try to keep all my program files on the C drive and all personal files on the other drives. The C drive is 70% free.
Thanks!

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.

"Bridge is running low on memory and should be restarted" error

I am running Bridge CS4 on a DELL T-1650 with plenty of hard drive space. I am having trouble with indexing / caching files. My computer is connected to a large office server with a large amount of files that I need to be able to search. I recieve a "Bridge is running low on memory and should be restarted" error each time I attempt to index the files on the server drive. I have tried Purge and Cache, set the cache memory slider to max. This is a very large amount of files (TB ) to index /cache. I leave the computer running overnight to allow ample time, I nothing on my TB hard drive , and have 16GB of available RAM. Any ideas?

…My computer is connected to a large office server…
Aha! Working over a network is not supported by Adobe.
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Cannot get Bridge to run

I just installed Prod Prem CS6 on my laptop. I cannot get Adobe Bridge to run. I can run After Effects and Photoshop. I tried to start Bridge as an Administrator, but that did not work.
The install was a clean install.

Alan, do you get any error message, while running BR CS6? If so, error screenshot would help.
Could you check if you have multiple Bridge processes running at the same time in Task Manager. If so, end those processes and check again.

Adobe Bridge not running in the background

I have bridge setup to load and run in the background when I start windows. However it doesn't run in the background but launches and runs as normal.the icon does not load in the control panel as does other programs that load and run in the background. Running a 64bit windows 7 machine

You can disable this option at any time, Hope this helps.
I don't have CC but others say the standard option is not there. Can you confirm it is?

Memory Error in Bridge while running a script with multiple moveTo()'s.

I have written a script to create folders based on the names of assets in the parent folder, then move the assets with matching names into the appropriate folders. The script runs perfectly up to somewhere between 1,000 to 1,500 images moved and then I receive a memory error from Bridge.
I have been running this on folders with an excess of 25,000 assets in them. My work around was to put a simple counter in the script to let me know when 1,000 assets had been moved, throw up an alert, and then I would view the Task Manager to let me know when the CPU usage had dropped below 50% and would ok the alert, then it would run the next 1000 assets.
My question, is it possible in scripting to monitor your memory usage to allow a pause in the script so Bridge processing can catch up?

Don't do that!
$.sleep() doesn't "sleep". ExtendScript is not multi-threaded. $.sleep just waits on the $.sleep() command to execute. It actually blocks all processing rather than free up the processor to do things like garbage collection.
First try the $.gc() command. To my knowledge there is no way to track ES' memory usage.
If that doesn't work, try scheduling a task...
Let's say that you find that after 1000 moves, it takes 60 seconds for the processor to cool off:
doAThousandMoves = function() {
// execute 1000 moves
app.scheduleTask( "doAThousandMoves()", 60000, true );
The way I would actually code this is to scan the folder tree and create a global array that contained all of the files to be moved.
I would then move them 1 at a time, shifting them off the array. Something like this:
var mover = {}; // global object declaration
mover.init = function() {
mover.files = new Array();
// fill mover files with the file objects to be moved.
app.scheduleTask( "mover.move()", 10 );
mover.move = function() {
var i = 0;
while ( i++ < 1000 ) {
file = mover.files.shift();
// move file
if ( mover.files.length > 0 ) {
app.scheduleTask( "mover.move()", 60000 );
In fact, you should probably break this into chunks of about 10 or so at a time (you can reduce the gap between calls). Doing so will make the operation appear to be running as a background process.

Bob

Bridge (CS5) Running Extremely Slow

For some reason, every time I open Bridge (CS5) my thumbnails load at an incredibly slow rate. In addition, when I try to open a folder in Bridge, it takes anywhere from 3 - 5 minutes for everything to load. It’s strange because I’m able to access the Preferences menu and all of the other menus with ease. It’s only when I try to access / open folders that Bridge begins to freeze. I’ve already purged the cache and tried every remedy I could find online, but nothing seems to be working. I’m running Bridge on Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8, by the way. Thanks in advance!

I’ve already purged the cache and tried every remedy I could find online
That is a bit vague, could you describe more exact what you have done.
And can you provide details about amount of RAM, VRAM and free space left on your Mac (what Mac?).
Are you using internal or external disks?
And can you provide the exact version of Bridge (Bridge / about Bridge)
Did it work before and is this behavior came out of the blue?

Suggestions on a wireless client bridge unit running MIMO 5ghz

I have replaced my main router WRT300N running dd-wrt with the a stock E4200 and an old WRT54G aslo running dd-wrt configured for wireless client bridge. Now that I'm learning more about 802.11N, I was wondering what client can I use to achieve 5ghz simultaneously radio transmission since my current setup cannot do this in the 5ghz band. Can the E3000 be ran in wireless client bridge mode, if not what product can provide this? On the other thought am I understanding MIMO?
Old setup: 802.11G 2.4ghz
WRT54G ))) ((( WRT300N ->ISP
Current Setup: 802.11N 2.4ghz MIMO?
WRT300N ))) ((( E4200 ->ISP
Wanted Setup: 802.11N 5ghz MIMO
??????? ))) ((( E4200 ->ISP
Thanks,

There are various router models available which works on 5GHz frequency (E300, E3200 etc.). However, its not sure whether the third party firmware (dd-wrt) would be compatible with it or not?
Secondly, warranty of your product becomes void if you update any third party firmware on your product. Anything goes wrong with the product, it is not eligible for the replacement.

Thumbnails in Bridge CS4 run off the page

Using WinXP and CS4: Bridge displays as though the window is bigger than the monitor. It's as if Bridge thinks the window (not the monitor) is wider than it is. This happens weather or not the window is maximized. The scroll bar at the right is not accessible. I can switch between viewing modes, and the same problem exists in each mode (details, list, grid). I have uninstalled and re-installed twice with no change. The problem did not always exist, but I can't think of what is different to cause the problem.
The attached image is a full screen capture.
Any help?

Here is a link that has the same problem. No real jump in your face solultion, but hopefully it will help guide you.

I purchased CS6 2 years ago (or more) I now keep being asked to register, I also find Bridge is running slow in building the cache is this two problems or are they interrelated - any help please.

Hello could anyone advise me please:
I purchased CS6 Student edition approx 2 years ago, and I have been using it pretty much on a daily basis. Now it has suddenly started prompting me to register the software because the trial has ended. I did think about uninstalling and reinstalling but thought against this in view of the fact that CS6 is no longer available for purchase.
I am also having problems with the speed of Bridge in building the cache it seems to take for ever - about 2 sec per image.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5
And for the Bridge cache simply flush it from the Bridge prefs and rebuild it - after doing disk maintenance liek defragmenting your drives.

Bridge is running slow

I am editing on an ASUS G75 Laptop with 16 gig ram, I7 chip and 2 SSD drives.
Bridge is so slow that I now have to use Windows Explorer.
How about that?

this is the Premiere forum here: http://goo.gl/EsvGMS, however I've found reducing the file size of thumbnail generation in preferences helps alot.

CB21AG and a Wyse Client Bridge v90 Running Windows XPe

Has anyone successfully installed the driver and ADU on a Wyse v90 running Windows XPe?
When I attempt to install the Cisco software for the wireless NIC we are using onto a Wyse V90 running Windows XP embedded, I get the following message. This file does not exist on the disk from Cisco. I did find a copy of it in c:\Windows\System32 but I think that is the one that will be overwritten during install. If I point to the existing file, the install completes but the software does not work. I am able to config using Windows but when I try to turn control over to the Cisco software I cannot configure anything, all options are grayed out and it tells me my hardware is not installed properly.
Thanks!

Bill,
They are running the latest version. this is what I got from cisco tac:
As per the case notes, it seems that wireless card is not working in Windows XPe.
Here's the deal with XP Embedded. It is based upon real Windows XP; however the manufacturers are free to use only subsets of real XP if they want to, so in some cases, particular manufacturers have been known to leave out XP features that are necessary for the CB21AG/PI21AG to function properly.
Since we can't keep track of which manufacturers' XP Embedded implementations will work or won't, we state that XP Embedded is not supported with CB21AG/PI21AG.
What I would recommend for a PI21AG deployment in an XP Embedded environment is this. First, verify that CB21AG works as desired when installed in real XP (SP2 is recommended.) Then, you can install CB21AG the XP Embedded client and see if it works. If you are having problems installing it or getting it to work in XP Embedded while it works fine with real XP SP2, then they should bring up the problem with the equipment manufacturer, and this is case you will need get the manufacturer to make it work or qualify this card as being a card that they officially support on their particular XP Embedded implementation.
Since this is not supported, we as TAC can not troubleshoot or provide additional help directly to this issue, that got a be a a functionality for this Windows XP Embedded that is missing, or not implemented, as the
real XP do.
If you got to replicate this issue on Windows XP SP2, I will definitively provide you our full support for this issue!

Bridge Freezing after Caching Photo Shoots - Says Running Low on Disk Space & To Purge Cache

Hello,
I'm working in Bridge CS5 on a Mac 0S X version 10.9.2. I have 12 GB of RAM and the server has 240 TB capacity, 76.69 available.
Recently I've received the following error message while processing large photo shoots with both DNG and JPEG files: Bridge is running low on memory. It is recommended that Bridge is restarted.
I have also been manually caching large photo shoots and my cache preferences were set to Keep 100% Preview In Cache and Automatically Export Cache To Folder When Possible. My cache size was set to 500,000. Yesterday, Bridge started to freeze while attempting to open folders. The wheel would spin at the bottom with the message Compiling Criteria. The only way to close Bridge was a Force Quit. This happened several times.
Today, image thumbnails will no longer display, only the DNG/JPEG icons. I received the following error message:
I have tried restarting Bridge while holding the alt/Option key to reset the preferences and checking all three boxes - no luck. I have done the same thing with the boxes unchecked - no luck. I have tried manually purging the cache from its location in the library - no luck. I have tried resetting the cache preferences from the toolbar - no luck. I have tried deleting the cache files from the folders - nothing. happens, I have tried purging the cache for each folder from the tool bar - nothing happens.
I need to restore the thumbnails and rebuild the cache for each folder. Does anybody have an idea what is wrong or how to help?
Many Thanks!
