Bridge crashes on export. Deleted prefs, lost keywords

Hi! In an attempt to resolve the issue where Bridge crashed every time I tried to export to a hard drive I reset the preferences (which worked - for now). HOWEVER, in doing so Bridge has managed to unkeyword and unrate absolutely every single raw file I've ever worked on in it and has only retained keywords and ratings on .psd files that were saved in folders with the other raw files.
Given this was hours and hours of work and I was getting pretty close to putting the final files on a website, is there anything that can undo this action so I can get the ratings and keywords back please?
Thanks

HOWEVER, in doing so Bridge has managed to unkeyword and unrate absolutely every single raw file I've ever worked on in it and has only retained keywords and ratings on .psd files that were saved in folders with the other raw files.
Like Curt stated already, a new thread would be better and rating and keywords for Raw files are by default written to side car XMP files. If you changed the settings to write to a central cache database resetting preferences (and if you also selected purge cache) should not affect those settings.
PSD files as other formats and DNG (converted Raw files) have all the XMP data like description, keywords, rating and labeling written into those files itself instead of a separate XMP File. The XMP file also contains the settings you have applied in ACR. All this due to the fact you cant write data into the Raw file itself (at least not in an easy way).
So first check if your folder does still contain those XMP files. I'm not sure what procedure to follow when having all written in a central cache file (never used this setting and always convert my Raw files to DNG).
I also don't use the export panel because it has very limited options and many problems. I always use actions that I created in Photoshop to resize or save as other file formats. Select the files I want, use the menu tools / Photoshop / Batch and choose the action I want and let it run.
But meanwhile can you try and select a file you know you have altered and with right mouse click menu choose purge cache for selection?

Bridge crashes when I use the export panel (when I try to specify a folder)

Hi all!
Every time I use the export option, no matter where I access it from, when I try to specify a folder to move the file to, bridge crashes.
I can't just use "move" or "copy" to because I want to change the file format as well as move it.
Has anyone encountered this?
I already have the bridge 4.05.11 update installed.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Karen

Every time I use the export option, no matter where I access it from, when I try to specify a folder to move the file to, bridge crashes.
In the export panel at the top right is a small menu icon, if you click on it and from the two options choose manage modules.
Next to ' select modules to enable' is a small icon of a toothed wheel. Click on it and first choose check for update (probably showing non available but give it a try) and then choose reinstall all modules. Restart Bridge and check if it is working. If still not restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences and see if that worked for you.
And there are other ways to save as new file format in new location. Assuming you have Photoshop also active go to the Bridge menu Tools / Photoshop and choose 'image processor, explore the options and set them to your wshes. You can also create an action in Photoshop for this goal and instead of image processor choose Batch and find the action you created

Bridge crashes when hitting spacebar to go into preview mode.

Hello there,
So, whenever i've been in Bridge for a little while and want to do a full preview mode by hitting the spacebar I get the dark grey screen and after awhile "the spinning beach ball of death" appears. This continues until I have to force quit Bridge. When I restart bridge and try to do a new preview right away the same problem occurs imeditly.
I've tried to delete all the preffs both manually and automatically by holding down the option key during start up, but nothing helps. I've also installed the latest updates.
I'm on a pretty new Macbook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel i5 bought this summer with a SSD harddrive and 4gb of RAM if that is of interest.
Am I way off if I think it could have to do with the graphics card?
Well I'm thankful if anybody has solution for this.
Best,
Per

Deleting prefs manually seems to be OK although I personal would not bother
about the last workspace
> I don't really understand this part you wrote.
"What setting do you generally have for Bridge preview, always high Quality
or on demand or embedded previews
In Bridge Path Bar top right there are two small checker board icons. The
left one is just a shortcut for prefer embedded previews that only let you
cache the thumbs. A quick way to view the content of a non cached folder and
have the option to glance through thumbnails without having the need to wait
for all the previews to be build.
The right one gives you 3 options, first prefer embedded (same as left icon
and in fact is double but there are still more strange things in Bridge
regarding to workflow I'm afraid...)
Second is High Quality on Demand meaning the HQ preview builds when you
select the file. Somewhat useful but time costly when having to click on
several files and every time have to wait for the building of the preview.
Third is Always HQ. This one I prefer to have set as default. It means that
you have to wait longer for all the previews to being build but this is only
once and after this you can browse freely through all the files.
Having set to also build monitor sized previews in the prefs means you also
have to wait a little longer once when the folder builds cache but this is
in the same go after file ingestion and after this you can use the space bar
almost without delay to see a full screen preview. (And I'm on a 30"" Apple
Cinema display using mostly files from a EOS 1Ds3, big files, big screen
When it comes to size it can be any size, either a large psd. file or a tiny
.jpg. And i have my max set to 1000mb.
With this setting files above 1000 MB don't build previews but that should
not cause trouble when hitting spacebar, it only shows the small thumb on a
full screen with gray background and surely should not let Bridge crash.
Try also system maintenance with check and repair permissions.
And if the problem still persist create a new user for testing, log in under
this new account and try if the problem is still there, just to rule out
your current user account as the culprit.

IMovie crashing during export. Only works with ultra low quality exports.

I'm using the most recent version of iMovie with the mid-2011 MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM and a 500GB Hybrid HDD with over 200GB free. I have a project and everytime I go to export it beyond the "Mobile" version I get several different errors. If I try a "Large" or "720p" export, the software crashes and I get this error:
"Process:         iMovie [908]
Path:            /Applications/iMovie.app/Contents/MacOS/iMovie

If I try exporting with 1080p, I get a message saying "unable to prepare project for publishing."
This just about stays consistant no matter what medium I use to export the project, I've tried exporting to different sources and it doesn't work, I've tried exporting directly to YouTube, I've tried exporting to a various different types of Quick Time format. Nothing works.
I've restarted the project and built from scratch with several different files used, nothing works. It is seeming consistat with the different projects I have and hasn't worked for months now. I need a solution asap.
Any reccomendations?
Thanks

Thanks guys!
I will try your suggestions right now, so, In order to be sure that I will not f**** up my project during the process:
1)   Do a backup of my whole project, which only (?) consists in dragging/copying my "Event file" (Library) to the USB3 External Drive.
2) Delete Pref's with "Pref Manager"
2**) If the problem continues, delete FCPX / Fresh re-install it, using http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
3) Just drag & drop the "Event Folder" (37,59GB) from my External Hard Drive, to a new Libary.
Is this it?
I would also like to know:
All my purschased Effects/LUT's/Plugins, if I must Delete & Fresh install, will I have to install them all again one by one?
Would it be useful to ask for a Genius Bar appointment, before trying all this, or not worth it?
THANKS!

Impossible to share - crashing during export "Out of RAM Memory"   really slow share (Late 2013 Retina)

Hello all.
I'm really desperate. I hope you can help me:
1st) This is my project information:
on FCPX 10.1.1
21 minutes. 1080p. 1.64GB file size if "sharing" at 1080p.
First, it takes AGES to share such size, so I try to export at 480p (246MB). It also takes ages, around 1h30m...    But I this point I'm so desperate, that I just want to "export whatever I can, in whatever settings I can".
But even trying exporting such "low quality" version of my project, It won't export.
IT CRASHES!!!! (for the time the project share reaches the 30%)
How is this possible?!!!! It's a Late 2013 Retina with 16 GB of RAM, "specially updated" for me to use FCPX without too much of a hassle. I could understand a 8GB system doing this, but a 16GB?
So basically, FCPX shares SUPER-SLOW (which at this point, I don't even care) I need the video to be exported ASAP and be able to acomplish the deadline which was "today".
But it crashes all the time (when exporting) because of "lack of Memory".     On a 16GB Late Retina which only has Firefox open at the time the video was being exported. (And sometimes I don't even have Firefox open, not even the WiFi is on!) And it also crashes (yep, I've tried to export the project at least 10 times!!)
- What can I do ? Why is "my memory full", is this normal ?
More info:
I have all my project/event/clips in the MAIN HDD (SSD 512GB)
Would it change something to have "all my project transfered to an External USB3 HDD?"
If yes, is there any tutorial on HOW TO transfer / backup the project and ALL files, to an external HDD?
THANKS!!

Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conv

Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conversion!
This started completely out of the blue last night. The export gets about 30-50% done and FCE disappears from the screen and the "FCE quit unexpectedly" message pops up. This has never happened before and I was doing exports of this very project all week. All other projects won't expect, the current project won't export when brought into a new file, I tried reinstalling FCE, and I deleted the pref files spoken about in the forum.
Any Ideas!!!????

Try repairing permissions and re-boot.

Indesign getting crash while exporting because of bad pdf inside file.

Hi,
My indesing is getting crash while exporting to pdf. I have link to pdf file inside the indesign file, when i export that indesign file to pdf indesign is getting crash without showing any error message. If i place another pdf file in same location then it is going fine and i can able to get the output pdf file. Please suggest me how can i check and correct that pdf file and is there any solution to this. Please help me i have thousands of indesign pages with the same issue. If you want pdf i can send it to your mail id. please i need fix for this problem.
Thanks
Kiran

For all of you lurkers, Kiran sent me a copy of the PDF, and it looks like I found the problem (and learned a new technique which may help others in the same boat).
I tried re-frying the file by creating an eps and distilling, but the result was the same, then I tried exporting from CS3, just for fun, and it worked, but I realized the PDF had been cropped, so I started trying differnt sections and isolated an area that failed, though that wasn't particularly helpful.
Acrobat preflight didn't find anything that looked odd or problematic, and then I decided to run Examine Document. It came up with MetaData (no surprise) and also two items under a heading of Deleted and Cropped objects, with no preview or description. I unselected the MetaData from the list of found stuff, them clicked the Remove button in the Examine Document panel, and resaved (and while you have the opportunity to give it a new name, doing so doesn't remove the stuff untill you do the whole procedure again and save with the same name). Placed the new version of the PDF in a new file and exported no problem.

Indesign CS6 crashes on export to PDF

This has happened to me several times in the past few months and it always seems to be related to an image file -- either an eps or pdf file that's in the document. Once I replace or remove the image, the PDF exporter works. The problem is that I cannot always replace or remove the offending image. I've contacted Adobe regarding this issue and sent them the files that caused the problem and they found no fault with either image. So why does this keep happening?
I thought it was a font issue, but the one document had no text in it -- just images. I've also tried the same file on my laptop (also running CS6) and the exact same thing happened where it crashed on export to PDF. I do not have any font managment software running on my laptop besides FontBook (whereas on my desktop I'm using Font Agent Pro).
I'm on a mac OS 10.7.5 using CS6 Design & Web edition.
Here is the crash report for the latest problem: http://pastebin.com/zLQG7GE1

Hi, and thanksfor your help. I have tried deleting the font cache using onyx.. Is there a difference between the files onyx deletes and the ones font explorer can access? Anyhow, that had not helped, but safe starting the mac did.. Indesign would export to pdf without crashing.
Now I have tried to figure out what is causing the problem by force quitting process using the activity monitor. And I am struggeling to find the culprit. It still crashes even after turning off almost everything I can find. I have attached the full list of my current processes.. Anything stick out to you?
To answer the other questions, I have no plugins installed in indesign, and I use no font manager. I have use indesign without incident since june 2009, and it kindof just happened overnight, no new software or font was installed that I can recall, but also to be honest I cannot remeber when I last exported to pdf, so I cannot rule it out either, but I am hopeful that I can get to the bottom of this with your help.
Thank you both so much for your help.. My hair thanks you. As does everyone around me.. :-)

Looks like some tool on your system is trying to rewrite registry keys while Bridge accesses them. Beyond that nobody can say anything. this will require major investigation using tools like Sysinternals' System Monitor...

Bridge cache managment & export to folders?

What is the function and advantage of "auto exporting cache to folders" in Bridge?
Round 2 testing, I changed the CS6 Bridge cache location to be the same location I was using for CS5, on a secondary drive.
Small mistake, because CS6 proceeded to delete the entire existing cache and start building a new one. However, Bridge CS5 seems to coexist OK sharing the same cache with CS6. They are both re-building the cache as I visit individual folders. (30,000 files in 800 folders gonna take a while).
Long ago under CS3 I adopted the strategy of setting Bridge to "Auto export cache to folders." That worked well, because if you purged the master cache, Bridge would very quickly rebuild it from the folder cache files each time you re-visited a folder. The thumbs would come up very quickly if a folder cache existed, much slower if no folder cache existed.
Under CS5, and now CS6, that is no longer true. If you visit a folder after the cache has been purged, a slow process to generate thumbnails occurs. It appears that the individual folder cache is not being used for anything. The time to re-build the cache is about the same, regardless of whether folder cache files exist or not.
Purging or deleting the Bridge cache was often necessary under CS3 because the cache often became corrupted. CS5 was more stable, but still not immune from cache corruption. Maybe CS6 will be even more stable, but I'm betting cache purges will still be sometimes necessary. Is there any way to make the rebuild faster? Or more generally, what's the best strategy for Bridge cache management?
(And no, I don't have "keep 100% previews in cache" selected.)

What is the function and advantage of the Bridge Forum?

InDesign Crashes When Export to PDF - Only When Hyperlinks Checkbox is Enabled

I think I've read every single posting on the web for InDesign crashing on export, and have tried pretty much all of the solutions with no luck.
I am exporting a document (a table of contents document) in InDesign to PDF. With any of the export options on EXCEPT the hyperlinks option, it does fine. When I click on the hyperlinks option, it crashes.
I've recreated this document several times, e.g. exporting to IDML (which also causes it to crash), copying the text out and pasting it into a new document (still crashes)...the problem file is the one titled Intro_Electrical. I've tried replacing it with another document, but it still crashes. I've tried creating a new book, but it still crashes.
The link to the files is here:
https://www.box.net/shared/stbtj81v3j
Normally this would not be a big deal, but I have an ugly feeling that several of my foundation documents are based off of this file. If at all possible, I would like to be able to correct this issue instead of having to turn off the hyperlink option.
If you can offer any advice for correcting this, I'd really appreciate it. I've been dealing with this problem since CS4 and was hoping that it was something that would be fixed with CS5, but apparently not...or it's just me, I'm not sure

The table of contents is build ussing TOC module. It's collecting content from 7 book documents. I have almost the same file build in an other language and it's working perfectly. Never had this issue before. I can not find the difference between both documents. I tried to deleting all the chapters and ad them one by one but it's crashing the moment that hyperlinks are used no mater how many chapters from other documents are added. However if the table of contents is made only from one documnet - inside of that document hyperlinks are stable and pdf can be produced not cousing any issues.
I will try to delete page by page and check if I can discover problem maker. As this is going to be soooooooo time consuming I'm waiting for any other sollution. Anyone?

CS6 bridge crashes trying open files

bridge opens up fine, I can browse around & preview images without any trouble…
Whenever I double-click or right-click on an image whether it be a raster image or a vector image, bridge crashes and the file never opens in Photoshop or Illustrator…
Any Thoughts?

Fast forward a bit to September 2012 and I'm experiencing the same problem of Adobe Bridge CS6 crashing like a mofo. I'd love it if anyone could brighten my life with some sollutions.
I'm using: Bridge CS6. Fully updated. Running on Windows7 32bit which is fully updated. Updated graphics card. In short, EVERYTHING on my pc is updated and runs great except bridge. Gaming PC with 4gb RAM and a sweet graphics card.
Bridge loads fine and looks okay UNTIL i open a file. The second i click Open, bridge crashes.
Bridge also crashes if i double click a folder which has a photo in it. Never fails to crash. The error is typical nonsense:
"Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working. Windows is checking for a sollution to the problem." followd by "A problem has caused the program to stop working corectly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a sollution is available." "Close Program."
Curt Y advised the previous member to open View Event Logs, and look for errors/warnings. Specifically in Applications an area called Faulting Module. Well I can't find anything called "fault". I opened Event Viewer, the four options are "custom views", "windows logs", "applications and services logs", and "subscriptions". Clicking the down arrow on each of them brings up sub areas, none called fault.
Under Windows Logs and Application, there are a lot of errors listed involving Bridge CS6. This is what the information and error log says:

Final Cut Pro X 10.0.03 crashes on export. What can I do?

PROBLEM SOVED.
1. From "show project library" under Window, highlight the project in question.
2. Under file, select "delete project render files."
3. Choose delete "all project render files."
4. Close down FCP X and relaunch.
5. under Final Cut Pro go to "preferences" and make sure "background render is checked."
6. Load project into the timeline.
7. Alow FCP X to render the entire project without interuption. Make sure all other applications are shut down and that "energy saver" is turned off under Apple "system preferences."
Export worked smoothly and quickly without shutting down. Thanks for all of your help and tenacity Ian.
