Bridge CS4 won't open

I have Adobe Bridge CS4 and whenever I try to open it in After Effects it just shows an error report that says send or don't send error report. I have already tried to reinstall it but that didn't work either. I am desperate here, does anyone know how to fix this?

Koolman,
I just looked at another forum post and got an idea that worked for me. Try starting Bridge while holding down the control key. Then check all the boxes to reset the preferences. When I did that, Bridge finally opened and when it did, it asked me if I wanted it to start up automatically at log-in in which I replied NO. Now, it seems to be working ok for me.

Bridge CS4 won't open to Photoshop CS5 out of Camera Raw?

I use Bridge CS4 because I prefer it to bridge CS5 but when I edit images in ACR in bridge cs4 and click 'Open Image' I want it to open automatically in PS CS5 and instead it opens always into PS CS4. In preferences>file type associations, everything is set to CS5 so I don't know how to direct opening images from ACR to open in photoshop CS5 not CS4. I've had it working on a different system but I don't remember what I did to get it to work.

Uh huh...and why would you expect CS5 to open the image from Bridge CS4? You haven't stated why you are trying to use Bridge CS4, but as you've found out, that is not an optimal solution....(BTW, troubleshooting 101 dictates that you at least mention what platform and OS you are using).

Bridge CS4 won't open RAW files from Canon 70D

I have Photoshop/Bridge CS4 which used to read CR2 Raw files fine from old Canon 30D@. I've just purchased a Canon 70D. Bridge CS4 will read the MOV video files fine, but not the Raw CR2. I've downloaded and installed Adobe DNG Converter 8.5, but when I open it and it asks to open files to convert, the CR2 files are still unreadable and greyed out. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.9.4. Is there some way I could preview RAW files from the 70D in Bridge CS4, and open in Camera Raw?

You need to upgrade to PSE12. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) You could also use the Canon software that came with your camera to convert to tiff, which would open in PSE11.
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Bridge CS4 won't open .NEF file in camera raw

It says because photoshop CS4 does not recognize this type of file. I've opened plenty of Nikon .NEF files in Bridge. The difference is this is a D90 file and I've been getting D80 files. Is there a patch for newer camera models?

On a Mac I don't know which directory it should be in.
Camera Raw preferences: Bridge: menu Adobe Bridge/ Camera Raw preferences.
Inhere you can set the wished behavior for tiff. By default it shows tiffs
only in ACR when you choose to do so with right mouse click menu (open in
Camera Raw) or if the Tiff had earlier been altered in ACR, then it opens
automatically in ACR unless you choose not to do so.

Photoshop CS4 Won't open. Error 150:30.

CS4 won't open now

Can anyone help me understand why PPro CS4 won't open all of a sudden?
I've tried rebooting, not sure what happened in the last 12 hours.
I assume i'll have to reinstall the software, but does anyone know why this happens?

Do you have SoundFlower installed?
Do you have a lot of VST's installed?
Those are two things that can affect the launch of a couple of Adobe programs. This ARTICLE (though written for the PC), might offer some things to ponder.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - there are some similar threads, where Mac users have had to do something with their log-in. They did not have to really modify things, IIRC, but just open up the control console for it. Wish I could give you more details, but I'm a PC-guy. There are maybe three threads recently.

CS4 won't open Fuji FinePix S5Pro RAW

I should have all the Adobe updates as I have it set to automatically get updates including the RAW editors. I don't know how to check what is currently installed.
CS4 won't recognize RAW files from the Fuji S5Pro. Other posters have recommended closing Adobe Bridge on similar discussion threads, but how do I see if Bridge is open? It isn't in my task bar or my task manager.
This is a Windows PC, not a Mac. I am running Windows 7.
Thank you for your assistance.

You should be able to open those files, even with the camera raw plugin that shipped with photoshop cs4.
(camera raw 5.7 is the newest camera raw plugin for photoshop cs4)
If in photoshop cs4, you go to Help>About Plug-ins and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Is your windows 7 an 32 or 64 bit system?

PREMIERE CS4 won't open my recent projetcts!! 3rd time ...

It's the third time now that I cannot open a saved file... I save incremently the different versions of our 26 minutes animated project.
I have no idea when/why it started - around once a month (the past 3 months) I open PREMIERE, open my latest file, and the progress bar hangs ...
I click cancel - ... then need to force quit PREMIERE... each time if I try to open an auto saved version with the same name I get the same result... lets's say I want to open #78 ... and it won't open ... then I try with #78-1, -2, -3 , -4 and -5 .. same thing ...
I try version #77 ... and the saved versions .. same problem ... version 76 opened...
I lost 2 days ...
last time Iost 2 days of work and tried 1 day to understand what happened ... used XML wrench ... did everything that is possible to try and make sense ... but here I am ... with a project that has 1600 to 1700 medias...
I regret I did not listen to people who proposed their FCP station ...
... we started the production 3 years ago (animation is a long process) with CS3 and it seemed to work well...
last year we upraded to CS4 .. and here I am really frustrated - I am even ready to pay to go back to CS3... or pay even more to go to FCP...
.. it is possible that something I did made this happen ... I work on 2 different setups: one is XP32 pro - 3.5 g ram - on a XW 8400 dual XEON 3ghz, the other setup is a DELL workstation - 8 g ram - same dual cpu 3ghz (5160) - and XP64.
WE use AE, PSD and PREMIERE. everything works fine ( never managed to have the open GL quadro 3500 cards work properly in AEthou on both machines) but PREMIERE... I am tired and feel tarpped as I will need to keep using premiere knowing that I may lose some more days of work...
sigh ...

Hi Dennis,
Throw
away your preference files - user folder/my documents/Adobe/Premiere
Pro/ Take the 4.0 folder and drag it to your desktop. Or just throw
it away. When PRemiere Pro launches again, it will create a new one.
Just tried it ... same behaviour ... progress bar stalls .. .
yeasterday evening I installed the PPro trial on my macbook - under OSX ... and the progress bar goes a bit further ... for a moment I believed I recovered my file.. but now - still waited for over one hour, as the machine was not frozen ... but nothing more happened and I needed to force quit the app...
I saw something about big projects - the biggest thing I can recommend (STRONGLY!)
is to have a 64bit OS and lots of memory. This has made a big
difference for many customers. 64-bit goodness is the future and CS4
makes use of greater memory addressing to allow it to see more than 4GB
of memory on a 64bit Os.
Yes ... this is my only real hope ... Both the computer I work on are now 64 bits/8 gig of ram - one is W7 (was xp64 before) , the other is XP64 (was xppro 32)
... it is possible that the 32 bit machine is (was) the culprit...
... and maybe the anounced 4.2 PPro upgrade may resolve whatever problem I have ...?
I'll try to read more later and get back with any other suggestions.
Thanks a lot ! any help is gtreatly apreciated !
regards !
luc the Luke!
Regards,
Dennis (Denis in French)

Bridge CS4 Won't Reopen the last folder used after reboot . . .

When I restart Win XP (32 bit) and open Bridge CS4 it opens to a specific folder (the same one every time) but NOT the last one used. My Workspaces also seem to be forgotten. Is there a way to specify the folder that you want Bridge to open?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Bob

Are you closing Bridge properly (waiting until all processing has finished) before shutting Windows down?

Adobe Bridge CS4 & Downloader automatically open when I connect iTouch

Hello,
Does anyone know how to stop this? It's very annoying. I never want Adobe Bridge CS4 opening on my iTouch.
Thanks

This is happening because you have captured a screen grab on your iPod Touch. If you hold the top sleep button and the home button at the same time, it takes a screengrab of your screen.
When you plug the iPod Touch into your computer, the 'new' images get seen, and you are prompted to import them via whatever preferences you've set for any digital cameras you have.
As well as changing your preferences, you could delete the images from the iPod Touch if you don't want them.

CS4 won't open TIFF with IBM PC Byte order

When our team tries to open images saved as TIFFs with a Byte order for IBM PC with Photoshop CS4, we get an error message that we do not have enough RAM to open the image.
We then opened the image on a machine running Photoshop CS2 with no problem, resaved the TIFF with a Macintosh Byte order and that seemed to fix the problem.
Is this a glitch that Adobe is aware of and will it be fixed in any upcoming updates?

I know of one bug like that, reading PackBits compressed images (the bug is very rare).
But if you could send me a copy of the file that won't open, I'll take a look and see if it might be a problem we don't know about.

Indesign CS4 won't open or create new files. Why???

I'm using Indesign CS4 and all of a sudden it won't open old files or creat new ones. I've restarted
my machine and program and it still won't do anything. Any ideas?

What sort of recent changes have you made on the system?
What happens when you try to open files or create new ones? What OS? IS ID patched to 6.0.6?
Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences

CS4 won't open CR2

I cannot get Photoshop CS4 Extended to open raw CR2 files from my Canon 5D MkIII. Adobe Bridge will not open a thumbnail, either. The same files open fine in Lightroom 5.6. I am working with Windows 7 Pro and Intel Core i7 on a Dell Vostro.

CS4 use an old version of ACR if your canon is a newer model you will have to download the ACR 8.6 and DNG Converter then create DNG files for your CR2 files and process the DNG with the CS 4 version of ACR.
Your other option is to subscribe to the cloud and use a newer Photoshop. $10 a month....
