Bridge crashes when applying metadata

I'm seeking guidance, but let me preface this post with some information:
CS6 via Creative Cloud
All applications up to date via Adobe Application Manager
All Windows Updates applied including drivers.
Currently running Bridge 5.0.2.4
Computer is:
Win 7 Pro (64 bit)
Core i5
12 Gb RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 310
I have used CS6 for months prior to this issue starting without incident.
I have tried moving the data to different drives.
I have checked/cleared/reset file permissions.
I have run drive error checks.
I have uninstalled/CC cleaner/reisntalled all Adobe products multiple times.
I have run Bridge in 32-bit and 64-bit modes.
I have tried to reset preferences and other "Ctrl" startup options.
I have tried to reset preferences and other "Ctrl" startup options after selecing "Run As Administrator".
I manually deleted the ".BridgeCache" and ".BridgeCacheT" files from the folder of photos.
Prior to this crashing problem I had already sorted and begun to apply ratings to files (Reject and Start ratings) in this folder without incident.  I even applied metadata (Keywords) to a portion of the 1,321 photos in a folder without incident.  The problem started when I came back the next day and started up work again.  There had been no updates or restarts to the computer.  The only thing that I think updated was Adobe Acrobat, but I cannot be sure.  When I opened Bridge and began to apply Keywords to files the program simply locked up and immediately crashed.  The Windows dialog box did not have any information or options for a crash report.
This is a normal workfolw that I utilize on a regular (weekly/monthly) basis and why the crashing is happening is beyond me.  I have attempted to troubleshoot many different ways.  Of particular note I when to a different folder of photos that had never been worked on before with Bridge and was able to apply the same workflow without incident.
Here is an excerpt from the Windows Event Viewer:
Faulting application name: Bridge.exe, version: 5.0.2.4, time stamp: 0x50d9a019
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17725, time stamp: 0x4ec4aa8e
Exception code: 0xc0000374
Fault offset: 0x00000000000c40f2
Faulting process id: 0x12d0
Faulting application start time: 0x01ce461c31a0ba90
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS6 (64 Bit)\Bridge.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
Report Id: 60e3cf2b-b210-11e2-834c-f04da2db0ae0
At this time I cannot difinitively confirm that the files themselves are causing the issue but I will attempt some additional troubleshooting.  At this point I'm not overly impatient because I've already lost the revenue opportunity for selling these photos to customers because the error first started several days ago (4/28/2013 09:31:35 PM was first crash).  However, at this point I am will not entertain the wasting of time by uninstalling all Adobe products, running CC cleaner, and re-installing the products I use.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try for resolution or troubleshooting? 

I'm wondering if it could be the SD card?  Mine was a cheap brand and I wonder if the invalid handler could be the issue.
No experience with all of this, use a Mac, Canon and a CF card that I place in a Card reader and use import via Adobe Photodownloader.
But here is my question, what do you do you with the SD card when your files are copied to the system?
My workflow is to import the files (including convert to DNG and back up original Raw to second disk, renaming and copyright template)
But when I have checked my files are OK on the system and I need the CF card for a new job I always put the card back in the camera and use the camera menu itself to format the card.
I long ago stopped using the delete all function because this used to build up certain data files and that is not the case when you use format.
I do so every time and while I have used a lot of CF cards (from 128 MB in 2001 to current 32 GB Sandisk Extreme Pro UDMA 7) The only problems I had was losing them.
Never managed to break one down (not even in the washing machine…) and from about 2003 I always have used the format method for every time I needed to remove the files from the card.
I don't know much about the difference between inferior manufactures and the superior brands, I find it hard to believe that this would cause your problem alone (If you did not format I would try that first).
Having said that I would never choose to use other then top quality cards like Lexar and Sandisk and also the fastest or the nearly fastest.
If you have a cheap compact camera (but then you probably would not visit this forum…) I can image (but do not approve) you include a cheap SD card also. But spending up to 1000 dollar or much more for a nice dSLR and save money on a cheap card instead of using a trustful medium to write your precious files on is not the best workflow.
CF cards and SD card are very cheap nowadays.
To compare, the 128 MB in 2001 was about 600 dollar, the super fast and reliable Sandisk Extreme Pro 32 GB was around 200 dollars.
You can do the math yourself but on my calculator this means three times as cheap while 256 times more space…

  • Adobe bridge crashes when saving illustrator files

    Hi there,
    We are developing custom connector using Adobe Drive SDK for our DAM system, the integration with CS was working fine, we recently updated Adobe Drive to 4.2, and we are encountering bridge crashes when saving illustrator file. It didn't happen with older version(4.0.2) of Adobe Drive, not sure why. I pin point the part that causing the issue: in our custom connector, we have READ_XMP_METADATA capability which we need to display the thumbnails and previews, and in the ftp sample connector, this capablity is not included originally, so the issue does not happen, but if I add this capabilty, the crash issue happens as well. If we exclude this capablity from our connector, this crash issue doesn't happen.
    We noticed this only happens when saving illustrator file, not photoshop or indesign, and it seems that only in illustrator, when save, and the bridge has the current file folder showing, we are seeing there are twice folder refreshes, and usually it will crash after the second time. In photoshop and indesign, we don't see folder refreshes. If switch to other folder, the crash won't happen. We tested on both windows and Mac, on Mac, this seems happen less often. Another thing we noticed is in debug mode, or we have many debug logging turned on, the crash happens less often, if it is deployed with no debug logging, the crash happens almost everytime. So we are guessing it might be some synchronization problem. 
    Could you please advice what's the cause of this issue?
    Thanks,
    Katherine

    Has it ever worked?
    What kind of files are they and where do you save them?
    Is a printer connected, set up and turned ON?
    Have you already tried resetting the preferences?
    Generally it's not a good idea to just save old files, because then some artwork may be automatically flattened. Illustrator will save the file to the old version file-format and if you used new features in-between, those cannot stay live in the old version file format.

  • Adobe Bridge crashes when i open a Lacie external hard rive. Started when i uploaded Yosemite?

    Adobe Bridge crashes when i open a Lacie external hard rive. Started when i uploaded Yosemite?

    Finder crashes occur both on my MacBook Pro (4,1) and MacBook Air (2,1). There is very little in common between the hardware of the two systems except the Santa Rosa processor. One has HDD and the other SSD. One has 6GB in DDR2 memory in two dimms and one 2GB DDR3 soldered. One has an 8600M and one a 9400. One starts a bunch of apps at login and one starts nothing. And so on. Since it happens on different kinds of systems, it's definitely not a hardware problem with certain specific hardware. And I'm pretty sure I saw a report from someone with a MacPro.
    I've looked at a lot of finder crash logs. A number of them seem to happen when something (memory or an object) is being freed and an error occurs. This causes an abort and the finder is killed and restarts. Not exactly a "crash". More like controlled flight into the ground. The other cases are probably not catching the error and getting seg faults, so those actually are crashes. Unfortunately, the place this happens seems to be different every time but usually related to finder or AppKit.
    I suspect a memory corruption bug somewhere. I've pushed my system by opening and closing
    folders, scrolling up and down, and opening and closing subfolders, and once the problem happens, it is usually reproducible for a few minutes (or a few repeats of the action that caused the crash).
    Then it will often "magically" start working or a slight variation of behavior, e.g., opening a folder directly vs. using a finder window sidebar alias (or vice-versa) will work.

  • Bridge corrupts jpg metadata when applying metadata template (no preview in Finder)

    Hi,
    Since a short while I found that applying one of my metadata templates (copyright etc.) to .jpgs in Adobe Bridge CC corrupts the metadata. What's seen is that the preview thumbnails in Finder disappear (change to jpg-logo), and there's no other way to get them back then by stripping all the metadata (I used ImageOptim).
    The weird thing is, it only affects jpgs that are rendered straight from Capture One Pro 8. Pics in .jpg that are rendered by Photoshop CC don't go corrupt.

  • 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.

  • 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 adding keywords?

    I was hoping to organize my photos through Bridge but it keeps crashing when I add keywords.  Sometimes it works and other times it crashes even if I ony select one photo at a time?  Very disappointing.  This is the first crash on PS CS6 after 30 plus hours of use.  I have 8GB of RAM.  The RAM meter on Windows 7 is only at 20%.  I also tried turning off AVB anti-virus but no go.  I increased the cache too but no go.

    Thank you for helping...Updated my video card driver but no change..... it still crashes.  Sometimes it works sometimes it crashes on a single photo file.

  • File names in Assignments Panel change when applying metadata

    I have just discovered that when you apply metadata through the "User Content Info" window, whatever title you place in the "Document Title" field changes the name that appears in the Assignments panel. The problem with this is that we have asked our users to apply metadata using this window and to put the Product Title in the Document Title field. I had no idea that this would affect the Assignments panel. Yikes!

    Brian
    Yes that would be a pain if you had to do it. The good news is you don't. There a plenty of ways to get to the pics:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.

  • SG 7.1x158 crashes when applying custom look with Premier Dynamic Link

    The sequence opens just fine, and I'm able to create a grade for a selected clip.  However, when I save the custom look and then try to apply it to any other clip, SG crashes.  Odd thing is that I've tried a couple of the example looks and they don't crash.  Crash only occrus when I choose any of the custom looks I've saved. 
    Only workaround I see at this point is to apply the look using Lumetri in Premier, which seems to work just fine.
    Anyone else run into this problem?

  • IPhoto Crashes When Applying Keywords

    I'm currently having a problem with iPhoto 6.0.4 crashing whenever I apply a keyword to a photo.
    I'd been using iPhoto for about 3 hours today doing some pretty extensive keyword management. Then the thumbnails all turned low res and the application crashed. When it restarted iPhoto told me to rebuild the thumbnail cache, so I did.
    Ever since then iPhoto is crashing when I use keywords. Has anyone else seen this behaviour or have any ideas as to how I might troubleshoot?
    2.3GHz Dual-core PowerPC G5 and MacBook Pro (2.0GHz Intel Core Duo)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   23" Cinema Display, iSight, iPod nano, 200GB LaCie drive

    Andrew:
    If there are not to many of them, try the following:
    1 - make a very insignificant edit to each of those files so that a modified version is created in the Modified folder.
    2 - export those files, full size, to the desktop.
    3 - in iPhoto delete the files.
    4 - import those modified files from the desktop into iPHoto and try to add a keyword.
    That may do it.
