Bridge CS3 no longer updating

When I work in ACR from Bridge CS3, the thumbnail no longer updates to match the changes made.
What have I turned off or on?
Thanks,

This can vary from user to user, some do and some don't see edits. Thinking by some is that it depends upon the video card. For me it appears that ACR changes do not show with quick thumbs but do with HQ thumbs. Using CS3.

Bridge CS3 no longer renders RAW thumbnails

Running PSE9 on OS 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. Also running Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9 that I believe came bundled with PSE4 and which I have become fond of using as a tool for importing photos and other steps early in my workflow. I shoot almost exclusively in RAW and sometimes in RAW/JPEG. Recently, having made no change that I can remember, Bridge is no longer able to render thumbnails of the RAW files, instead showing just a thumbnail of a white sheet with the corner turned down; JPEG thumbnails render just fine.
I would be extremely grateful for anyone that can help me get the RAW thumbnails working again. I suspect some anciliary file outside of the main program package since Adobe is so fond of sprinking useful files all over the place if that rings any bells.
I have tried to find a standalone Bridge CS3 installer on the web that I might use to re-write whatever is missing but I cannot find it. It's an unusual request but if anyone would lend theirs to me I would also be grateful.
Thank you in advance.

Turns out my sister is more a packrat than me and she still had her original PSE6 disk, which was also bundled with Bridge CS3. Uninstalled/deleted 9 and Bridge and removed every trace of them and prior versions I could find (e.g Library files) to a flash drive. Installed 6 along with Bridge and all seems to be back to normal.
Hopefully everything else still works right and I won't have to try-and-err putting Library files back one-by-one or something. Once it feels like all is stable I'll be putting in my upgrades to PSE9.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Bridge CS3 no longer previews CR2 Canon

Currently previews of canon raw photos loaded in Bridge do not always show the photo, only the generic icon "CR2", and won't show the photo when slidestrip icon is selected either. It worked on previous downloads, but not currently. I can see the photos OK in Preview, PS CS3, and Iview, so it's only Bridge that has the problem. Tried purging the cache as Ramon suggests, to no avail.
Current equipment: iMac Intel, Mac OS 10.5.5, Camera Raw 4.6, Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9, Canon 40D.
Thanks,
Jonathan

I had a similar problem. I tried everything here and it still did not work. So I went back to v 4.3.1. After going back to 4.3.1, I decided to see if I installed v4.6 manually, would it work. It did.
So if you can only see the raw icon and not the raw images in Bridge, and you have the new Plug-in v 4.6 installed, this is what you do.
1 - Close Bridge (and Photoshop)
2 - Download the previous Plug-in v 4.3.1 if you do not still have it.
3 - Go to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug ins/CS3/File Formats in your HD (NOT the Library in the users folder)
4 - Place the Plug-in 4.3.1 in the File Formats folder
5 - Open Bridge and see that the raw images are images and not icons
6 - Close Bridge (and Photoshop)
7 - Go back to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug ins/CS3/File Formats this time installing Plug-in v 4.6.
Now I made a new folder in the File Formats folder that I called OldPlugins and placed plug-in v4.3.1 in it and I have not had any problems with it. If this does not work for you (like the person above) put the OldPlugin somewhere else.
8 - Open Bridge and the raw images should be raw images and not icons.
I trust this will work for you also.
Cheers!

Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1 Update and Vista 64 bit

I updated my CS3 applications using the Adobe Updater.
Now when I launch Bridge (either standalone or through one of the other applications in the suite) Windows immediatly reports that Bridge "has stopped working", closes the application and says it is checking for a solution. Needless to say no solution is found.
Bridge was working fine in Vista 64bit before I used the Adobe Updater.
Anyone else seen this?

Bridge CS3 crashing on E6600 DUO Core w/4gig ram two terabytes of drives. Vista Ultimate 64
I too have been encountering the mysterious Bridge crashes .."Stopped working.." .."insufficient disk space to complete."..
and .."insufficient memory .." when processing images in the RAW Plugin. Thiss has been going on for weeks and has been quite frustrating. And yes..this started after using the Adobe Updater ..
Note one line of the Bridge Error report lists:
Fault Module Name: QuickTimeStreamingAuthoring.qtx
I don't know what Quick Time has to do with Bridge ..but..
I went to Apple & got the latest Quicktime for Vista 64..and ALL the crashing problems have ceased! I have even turned back on "MULTI-PROCESSOR" Support. Running smoothly...
So what does Quicktime have to do with bridge image processing?
Please & thanks

Bridge CS3 ver 2.1.0.100 most buggy bridge ever

With previous versions of bridge for CS3 I had occasional problems. The most vexing was that some Canon xti Camera raw files (CR2) and dng files could not have their file info changed via bridge. When I would right click on these files, the file menu that came up would lack the choice for modifying file information. It was impossible for these few files to use bridge CS3 to get to fields such as document title, author, author title, description, etc.
If I opened the same exact files in the bridge for CS2, it was possible to modify file info for every one of them. The problem files when later opened in bridge CS3 would show the file info put into them with the CS2 bridge--the one that worked. It was still impossible however in bridge CS3 to modify the file info for these occasional files.
I made the great mistake of upgrading to bridge CS3 2.1.0.100. Today I took more than 240 photos. It is not possible to modify the file info for any of them with lousy bridge 2.2.0.100.
The new version also crashes much more often,simply disappearing without any error messages.
In addition, at least some photos whose file info could be accessed via the older version of bridge CS3, no longer allow such access under the newest bridge version.
The new bridge version is a massive step backward.
Open challenge to Adobe--I will be happy to send you 200 plus problem files that only work properly with older versions of bridge. You could use them to fix bridge.

I have found CS3 less buggy that I expected.
I have found "Bridge CS3" outstanding, but no doubt, some will experience problems.
Experience is great teacher
But I do keep CS2 on my machine for those times I cannot wait for whatever fix might be necessary.
Do not worry.
The problems many are having, whatever that may be, and it is somewhat varied, will most likely be worked out in CS4.
I contribute many of these problems to be lack of control over the hardware that the software must function on. Windows vs. Mac ideologies rear their heads here. I use Windows and that is definitely my problem.
Get used to it.
CS4 whatever = CS3 whatever with most problems fixed.
CS3 = CS2 with most CS2 problems worked out with some tool palette changes users have been asking for years, along with "some" real graphic ability improvement, along with some abilities that probably > 80% of us will never use. Better camera support in Camera RAW.
Most all of this depends on how much money you have to devote to Photoshop, its upgrades , and the cost of the demands for appropriate hardware.
Note:
I was just using the "spelling checker". On this forum "Photoshop" is an unrecognized word. It wants to spell it:
"Photo shop"
or
"Photos hop"
Go figure.
Just my 2 bit opinion which wouldn't buy you a cup of coffee or anything else.

Bridge CS3 - "Open in Camera Raw..." no longer working

The "Open in Camera Raw..." feature for JPG is no longer available in Bridge CS3. It was just working last week but now it does not appear when I right click on an image, it's grayed out in the menu and Command-R is disabled. Anyone know what's up? Doesn't work from Photoshop CS3 either.

There are 3 places to check this option, 1 in Bridge preferences itself, 1 in the camera raw preferences via Bridge and the last one in the PS preferences from PSCS3 itself.
They all should have a checkmark. But there are some issues with this option. You might also want to refresh the preferences with restarting Bridge an holding down option key and after doing so again check and set the prefs to your wishes.

Local Files will no longer update in CS3

Hi,
We've got a problem with DW CS3 that our local files no longer update. The practical upshot of this is that I have to use an external ftp program, and can no longer synchronise as DW thinks the files haven't changed. As you can imagine, this is a real pain in the proverbial... The remote files update normally. When working on, and saving, a file it saves ok. I've been through and checked via notepad that the code is updating. It's just that DW doesn't recognise that the file has changed. This also applies to any image files.
Tried a reinstall, and the same thing happens. We've checked all the settings we can think of, and can't see why anything wouldn't be working. We have been using on Vista successfully, but have just upgraded our machines and ended up on Vista 64 in the process, so don't know if that's got something to do with it.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated! We've been using DW for years (since version 1), and have never come up against anything like this before.
Thnx
Andrew

I haven't come across this particular problem before, but it sounds as though the cache file might have been corrupted. Instructions for deleting the cache file are in this post in the Dreamweaver FAQ. If deleting the cache file doesn't work, it's worth trying renaming or deleting the personal configuratin folder, details of which are in the same post.

Why is my iPhone no longer able to communicate with adobe bridge cs3?

We have 2 iphone 4's that I have been able to download photos from and into my imac for the last year while using the adobe bridge cs3. Recently, it began giving me an error meassage: " Adobe bridge cs3 cannot obtain files from this device. Please ensure that the device is connected properly,or that the battery is charged, adn try again".
I did both and that message still pops up. My usb ports are working fine as well as the usb cords(as far as I know of) and the batteries are fully charged when I do so. So what is the deal here??? If anyone can please help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!!!

Maro,
I'm running VISTA on my PC. None of the suggestions solved the problem. I uninstalled iTunes removing all suggested files from another post and reinstalled iTunes 11.1.3 and removed the iTunes Ibarra from my iPhone Remote. I restarted the computer, iPhone & router. I added the iTunes library to my iPhone remote. I didn't get an icon on the menu bar of the iTunes on the PC but a dialog came up asking for the code which was on my phone. I typed in the code and the library showed up on my iPhone Remote. I selected it and got an error message that it couldn't connect. This is extremely weird and frustrating. What should I do now?

Can't open Camera Raw from Bridge CS3

Need Help with the following issue. Until recently I was able to open & edit camera raw files in Bridge CS3. Tried to update Bridge from Adobe website and all of a sudden the "open in camera raw" option under File is greyed out. Also right-clicking the raw (CR2) file does not allow me to open the file in camera raw and I can't view the files as thumbnails any longer. When I double click the file Photoshop opens and subsequently camera raw. I have really lost the convenience of opening the file in Bridge and I'm afraid my workflow will suffer. Any help would be appreciated. I am running Windows 7. Thanks.

I am having this exact same problem and just upgraded to Windows 7...many people are saying to update the Plug In for Camera Raw to 4.6, but that is not working for me to see it in Bridge or Camera Raw.

Bridge CS4 no longer reading Raw files after reinstalling PS CS4

I recently uninstalled PSE8 (using Adobe installer) and was prompted to reinstall PS CS4. I did this and now Bridge is no longer reading my Raw files. I just get a white blank where the image should be. I tried reinstalling Raw Converter 5.6 but it still does not work.
I use a Canon T1i and am running Snow Leopard on my Mac.
Any ideas how I can get Bridge working again?
Thanks.

If this is the same thing as Adobe Camera Raw 5.6 (I'm assuming it is),
Of course it is.

You obviously have a bad installation of the Camera Raw plug-in.
You need to remove the ACR 5.0 plug-in, which somehow you did not remove when installing 5.6, and instal 5.6 in the correct location. Read the Camera Raw update instructions again, very carefully. The location is detailed exactly. Note that you start with the ROOT LEVEL Library, NOT your user library.
This screen shot is from an earlier post and it shows Camera Raw 5.1 installed. The path is the same for ACR 5.6. Note that you can only have one instance of the Camera Raw plug-in installed per version of Photoshop (5.6 for CS4, 4.x for CS3, 3.x for CS2) each in its respective folder.

Bridge cs3 mac 2.1.1.9 will not append metadata

I've been using Bridge CS3 for a long time now on my iMac 2Ghz Core Duo (Tiger OS X 10.4.11) with 2 GB of RAM
I have been using the same metadata template for a year, and have updated to Bridge 2.1.1.9
Starting today, whenever I try to append metadata to a 1.6 Gb folder of images (Nikon D300 jpg's), I get the error message "There was a problem writing metadata to...."
I have held the option key at Bridge startup , purged the folder cache, and checked the "Use Software rendering" option in preferences
I have tried appending metadata to a smaller folder with the same results
I use Bridge every day to tag and keyword photos - please help me to get this working again

I split the files into 2 folders and tried to append metadata on a folder that contained 99 files totaling 568MB
That did not work
I removed the file that was first reported as "problem writing metadata..", purged the folder cache and tried again - the error occurred on the very next file numerically
The error always seems to start with the highest-numbered file in the folder
I have also tried replace metadata and that does not work
I have also tried to enter metadata manually and then apply it to all the images in a folder - that does not work either
Maybe this 2.1.1.9 update has broken metadata somehow?

Bridge CS3 will not install

My Bridge CS3 will not install on my new Intel duo core iMac. It worked on my earlier iMac, but when PhotoshopCS3 was moved and installed on the new one, Bridge was nowhere to be seen. I have repaired permisisons, reinstalled PS CS3, and looked for Internet advice.
I would really like to continue to have the Bridge in the CS3.
Am I going to have to rely on my new Lightroom Developer for its Camera RAW functions and for renaming my files? I liked the Bridge RAW converter very much. The old Bridge is still on my machine, but its renaming functions don't suit me at all, and for some reason it is refusing to open my non-RAW files.

I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be. I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be. This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations.
Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise. Note that this suggestion begins with "I still advocate…", not "Apple recommends…".
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) may NOT help. Try it anyway, though.
==== Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night. If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388 Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large. Also, from:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE: There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject. Other, more reliable reports indicate that this seems to have been fixed in the current version of Leopard.
In any event, Repairing Permissions and/or running the Cron Scripts cannot hurt.
If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too. It can't hurt either, and it often improves stability and performance.

Unable to start Bridge CS3

I am wondering if I upgrade to Photoshop CS4 if Bridge will work then. I cannot get Bridge CS3 to open at all now. I am running OS 10.6.1. Seems others are having problems also. If a work around has been found for this problem, I would appreciate knowing what it is or even what the latest information is on the problem.
Thanks,
Shirley

For some CS4 and snow leopard seem to work flawless and for some others not
and they have problems. Hard to tell what you will experience. CS3 is
developed long before snow leopard and already followed by CS4 so don't hold
your breath on getting updates for CS3
In common when switching to a new OS, especially the brand new first builds,
you should first test if all your old applications work on it before
switching. History proofed that most problems will be solved in the 3th or
4th update for a new OS.
However there is always the free trial from CS4 that will work for 30 days
