Bridge CS5 won't start.....but it does for a 'new' user

Newly installed CS5.
Bridge doesn't start. Error message: "You can't open the application Adobe Bridge CS5 because it is not supported on this type of Mac."
It won't open standalone, won't open from within Photoshop. The 'mini-bridge' in Photoshop starts to work until it needs to access Bridge and then....spins forever.
Created new user and....Bridge opens fine.
Ideas?
thx

Created new user and....Bridge opens fine.

Usually we advised an Archive and install for OSX but there is a shortcut
that is described in this KB document:

  • AE CS5 Won't Start Bridge CS5

    From AE CS5, using the short-cut Ctrl-Alt-Shft-O or the menu item Browse in Bridge doesn't start up Bridge - Bridge CS5 will, however, start via Window 7's Start Menu.
    Is there any Preferences or other switch somewhere for enabling this function? (I can't tell you whether this used to work and is broken, or whether it never worked).

    This is an old thread but I found it because I had the same problem with a newly installed Windows 7 and brand new AE as part of the Master Suite. None of the ways to start Bridge from inside AE worked (Brose in Bridge, Browse Template Projects or Browse Presets). I'm just a new user trying to follow the exercises in Classroom in a Book... not a complete idiot but new to this.
    Anyway, after a LOT of random messing around (grrrr...) I looked in "show hidden icons" at the bottom right of my screen and found to my surprise that the Bridge icon was there even though it wouldn't start from AE. I right clicked on it and unchecked "Start Bridge at login" and oddly it now works perfectly from within After Effects.
    Might help someone else.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 won't start but  I see Photoshop.exe running in Task Manager!

    I just updated Photoshop CC 2014 today - October 6, 2014, and it won't start. I does not give any warnings or errors. Windows 7 Pro. If I check Windows Task Manager, I see Photoshop.exe running, but it never opens on my desktop.

    Just so anyone that sees this will know the sequence of events:
    I updated Photoshop CC 2014 and many other CC updates today
    I restarted my machine (Windows 7 Pro)
    Clicked Photoshop Start Icon
    Photoshop did not start, but Photoshop.exe appears in Windows Task Manager (WTM) under Processes tab (approx. 8 MB of Memory used)
    If I click Photoshop Start Icon multiple times, multiple EXEs appear in WTM
    Tried right-clicking Photoshop.exe(s) and Ending Processes, then Running Photoshop again (same result)
    Restarted my machine a second time
    Now Photoshop CC 2014 runs
    I will add an update here if things change.
    Thanks for the help everyone!

  • Bridge CS5 won't open at all, crashes immediately

    Hi you guys,
    I have been using Photoshop CS5 for a number of months now, without any problems. Yesterday, just suddenly, Bridge just bombed out. And I mean it crashes completely, not even a spinning ball or a 'stop responding', it just disappears from the screen. The first time the crash generated an Apple Crash Report, as well as an Adobe one. After that, when I click on the Bridge icon, it bounces, no dot appears on the dock under the icon and after a while the icon stops bouncing and another Apple Crash Report gets generated. It does not generate an Adobe crash report because, I suspect, the program does not go far enough.
    I have tried the following:
    Option clicked the B Icon - straight to Apple crash report.
    Open B in PS, PS works perfectly and stays operational, but B generates an Apple crash report. I also tried mini B, the dock opens with message "waiting for Bridge", and nothing further happens.
    Checked permissions in my Library for the following, all well:
    Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS5
    Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS5
    com.adobe.bridge4.plist file
    Verified and repaired permissions in DU, just in case. No luck.
    Created a new user account and tried to open B - straight to Apple crash report.
    Deleted the PLIST file and the items in Cashes (as suggested in another tread)  - straight to Apple crash report.
    I have not yet tried a reinstall. I upgraded to CS5 from CS3 and I still have it sitting on my hard drive. In a previous thread I asked what to do with CS3 and the consensus was to leave well alone. Everything worked and I did not need the disk space. In fact, Bridge CS3 still opens without a problem. If a reinstall is necessary, how do I go about it then? Do I
    deregister CS3 and CS5 and uninstall and reinstall the whole lot?
    deregister and uninstall and reinstall CS5 only?
    don't deregister and just reinstall the whole lot without uninstalling it first?
    don't deregister and just reinstall CS5 only without uninstalling it first?
    And if I have to uninstall, do I have to run one or all of the cleanup utilities of Adobe?
    I have also not contacted Adobe help because I have an American copy of Photoshop and live in Europe. That disqualifies me from Adobe support.
    Here is my system:
    iMac 5 with 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Mac OS X 10.6.6
    Adobe CS5 12.0.2
    Bridge CS5 4.0.4.2

    Hi guys,
    Thanks for your time and trouble. Much appreciated.
    I haven't been back because my iMac went from bad to worse and in the end I've had a complete system crash. The 2007 iMac G5 I have, is notorius for screen problems. Mine went pop in 2009 after only 18 months of use and was replaced by Apple after a war of words and overwhelming evidence of similar problems for that model on the internet. During that episode the machine was shut down with the power button several times, by me, by the shop and also by the technicians who had to diagnose and repair the computer (I have often wondered why Apple does not have an equivalent of the 'Windows' button, because via that it's easy to shut down a PC blind: Windows button>U>Return . . . the OS shuts down. Not clever of a company who regards themselves as 'Quality' with a self proclaimed capital Q). I suspect my computer picked up some hardware damage with the constant hard shutdowns. I was actually waiting for the next problem, I never really trusted the machine completely. But, as time passed, I got relaxed about it and did not notice the small signs developing like Bridge (and to a lesser extent, Photoshop) actually slowing down more and more the last couple of weeks. Now, in retrospect I can say that, but it was really very subtle. I did, after the screen episode, got into a routine of backing up my system regularly.
    After the Bridge problem began, I tried a re-install, a Time Machine restore and eventually started fiddling with Disk Utility, trying to fix the hard drive. To make a long story short, all I get now when I power up the machine is a white screen with a spinning disk under the Apple emblem. I do know that the internal hard drive had issues because that was reported by Disk Utility, I still do not know what the damage is because I still have to take the machine in for repairs.
    In the meantime, I am working on another iMac. I have installed all my software from scratch and I'm now trying to restore my old system - my PS actions, ACR actions, all my mails and other documents and my music. The problem I now have is that I had my user account encrypted with File Vault, while backing up with Time Machine. To everyone doing that, please don't - turn File Vault off and then back up. All my carefully backed-up files are now encrypted and can only be accessed with my broken computer! I can NOT restore my system to another computer! With older versions of Mac OS X (and, probably Time Machine), it's possible to use Finder to navigate to the encrypted back-up folder, double-click it and access your data with your master password and restore it by simply dragging and dropping the files on the new computer (but under no circumstances delete or change the back-up files in any way! And applications would, most probably not drag and drop without a problem, but there I stand to be corrected). With OS X 10.6 it is not possible any more to access data via Finder in that way. I know, because I can access my data up to end 2009, the rest is there but not accessible. I have searched everywhere on the internet and as yet, have not found a solution.
    The other problem with Apple, I found out, is that in normal operations, it works so well and all is so easy that I don't really read any instructions. There is no need. Everything just happens, it's actually too intuitive. Not once, while setting up File Vault or Time Machine, was I warned that it might be a problem. Now, when I poke around on the internet, there are many posts that warn against that but I did not search for them because I had no clue! I just hope, after the faulty parts on my G5 is replaced, I can get into my back-ups. I shall keep searching and trying to find a solution. If I get one, I shall post here again for those of you with similar problems. I know this is no longer a Bridge or Adobe problem, I just thought I must report back, maybe the knowledge will help someone else.
    Cheers,
    Jay

  • Firefox won't start, profile manager won't start, but firefox.exe shows in processes list (task manager)

    Firefox will not start, even though it is listed in my processes in task manager. Can't get profile manager to start either.
    I have tried the following to no avail:
    - try to start FF in Safe Mode, doesn't load
    - started Windows Vista in Safe Mode, FF still does not load
    - turned off Kaspersky AV, FF still does not load
    - uninstalled FF, cleaned out user/####/AppData/Mozilla/Firefox folder, as well as ProgramFiles/Mozilla/Firefox folder, and cleaned our Registry manually from all references to Firefox. Downloaded FF 3.6.3, installed. still does not load
    - whatever i seem to do, does not fix the problem. When I try to start Firefox, no window appears. I can see the process starting in my task manager. I can "end process" and try to start the program again by double-clicking program icon. Process starts in task manager, but no app window appears.
    I am frustrated and have just wasted 2+hours of my night trying to get this to work. Downloaded Google Chrome, unless there is a fix for FF (which I would prefer to use), i will have to switch to Chrome.
    I can't pinpoint when this trouble started, but may have been after a recent Windows Update. I already did a System Restore to a restore point about 5 days ago (the oldest one available to me, and I believe that was before the FF trouble started). This has not helped either.
    I have run a full virus scan with Kaspersky and a Full scan with Windows Defender. Nothing came up.
    Anyone else been able to find a solution to this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Less than a week ago ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.86 Safari/533.4

    I found a way to make it work somehow but not really fixing the error... one day when I got really pissed off because FF just won't open, I clicked the icon and killed the enter button, then multiple FF windows appeared. I tried to open it with just a single hit of the enter or double clicking but it won't work anymore, but repeatedly clicking the enter button (mine works with just 3 hits, sometimes 6) seem to open it. And until now, I have no technical explanation for this.

  • After Effects CS5 Won't Start on Mac OSX 10.6.3

    Production Premium arrived yesterday, and having tried all the software, After Effects is the only one that won't start.
    I'm pretty sure my computer meets the spec needed.
    I have Intel Core 2 Duo processor, at 2.66 GHz, with 4GB of RAM and loads of hard drive space. Premier Pro works fine, it's just After Effects.
    Help!

    I am having similar problems to those described above. I have Master Collection CS5.5 on a Mac running OS 10.6.8. The full suite had been running fine until late October, at which point After Effects stopped loading on launch. Illustrator and Photoshop start and run without problems, but After Effects will/would not launch. It hangs while loading MediaCore. When I launch in safe mode, I get an error with the Verdana font, so I've addressed that problem as suggested above (see my notes below). I successfully launched After Effects one time last week before uninstalling the Master Collection and taking all the steps outlined below, but the software has since refused to launch at all. I have not made any major system changes in the past two months. The most recent change I've made that might be relevant is the installation of FinalCut Pro, but the two packages have coexisted without incident since summer. I regularly use VLC, Quicktime Pro 10 and Quicktime Pro 7, but I have not made any changes to these recently.
    Here are the steps I have taken:
    delete user preferences
    remove VLC and Quicktime
    run software updates on Mac OS; my last update was a Java patch in late October; roughly coincides with when my troubles began. There are no ATI/Radeon patches available for Mac OS 10.6 that I can find, and I believe that the system's "Software Updates" provides such updates
    completely uninstall and reinstall Master Collection and install software updates using "Updates" within Photoshop (have done this sequence three times)
    remove font list ("AdobeFnt11.1.lst" and "AdobeFnt11.lst") in /Library/Applicatio support/Adobe/PDFL/9.0/fonts
    use Appzapper to remove After Effects before reinstalling it
    boot in safe mode and launch either from .app file or from Package Contents/MacOS/ terminal executable
    remove MediaCore components completely by placing them on the desktop
    Please help. I can not afford to lose production time on this machine.

  • Update 7.43 to 7.6 - iTunes won't start  but have iTunes.exe Task

    Hi There!
    I updated my Company-Computer from iTunes 7.4.3 to 7.6 and now iTunes won't start.
    All it does is: It shows the waitcursor for a few seconds and I get a Task in the Taskmanager that says iTunes.exe
    But it won't show the EULA where I am asked to accept Apples Terms.
    I updated my Laptop too and that works fine.
    I checked all the Services that where running (on both systems) and they where identical.
    What else could prevent the EULA window from appering? And if I acceped the EULA would iTunes start ok?
    Has anyone had the same problem and what could I do?
    So far I deinstalled iTunes and everything else (AppleLike) and cleaned the registry of all iTunes and Quicktime branches. After a reboot I installed it again - so far it didn't help.
    Has anyone an idea what I could try else (reinstalling windows ist out of the question since it is may workplace PC; everything else works fine.
    Thanks in advance

    Hey Everyone,
    I am going to add to the long list of outrage. I JUST purchased (like literally...9 hours ago...) an 8GB iPod Touch and after installation I ran into the EXACT same problem. Since I am a new owner this is the first time I have iTunes installed on my computer. So of course I downloaded the most recent version (as instructed). Like everyone else in this thread is saying, you try to open up the iTunes application but the GUI doesn't appear at all. Apparently "something" is running because its process is active in the Task manager but there is nothing on my screen! What's the problem here??? I've done everything short of reinstalling XP (thats actually kind of unnecessary as you shouldn't have to uninstall an entire OS just to get an application to work...update files or clean the registry--sure...uninstall then reinstall--no..). Yes, obviously this is an Apple product so there won't be many (if any) conflicts when connecting to an Apple device (like a Macbook). But seriously guys....seriously???
    What is more outrageous to me, besides the fact that this is a widespread problem...is the fact that this is a CURRENT problem that has YET to be even identified or rectified by anyone from Apple. I went on this forum, thinking that this was some known occurrence that happened maybe months ago and could be fixed immediately--but I am viewing messages from this week and even TODAY!
    This is absolutely unacceptable. Who needs to be contacted concerning conflict resolution with Apple hardware? Or does Apple wish to have another iPhone-esque debacle like a few months ago?
    Not to be rude, but I am not the average user that knows nothing about software and/or hardware (as I'm sure alot of others are knowledgeable). I am not "that person" that doesn't plug in the computer into the outlet then wonders why its not working. I don't mean to come here with an air of anger but this is truly ridiculous...lets get the ball rolling on a fix or start drafting up those $299.99 refunds...

  • Just upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't start but it says it's running.

    I just recently upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't work. I was enjoying the lastest update on firefox 3 and it was working fine, but when i upgraded to 4, the problems started. Every time i click on the icon, the mouse turns into the loading wheel for a few seconds and then goes back, but firefox doesn't load up. Nothing happens. I have tried restarting the computer, but that does nothing. I then tried uninstalling it, but it says firefox is still running so it can't uninstall. Even after restarting my computer, it still says it's running. I have tried everything, but it just won't start, and I can't do anything because it claims to still be running.

    I just had a similar problem and it reminded me of trying to install a logitech wireless mouse a while back. Nothing I could do to make it recognize the driver... until I ran across a website that told me that antivirus and firewalls might prevent it. So... AVG Free just updated itself earlier today... FF4 would only startup once after reboot, then start and show in task mgr but no window(s)... Uninstalled AVG new version. FF4 starts up every time. Reinstalled older version of AVG Free and now everything seems to be OK again. Hope this helps!

    How do I add my new iPhone4s to iCloud's "Find my iPhone"? I followed the iCloud instructions and turned on Macbook Pros' system prefs to "find my mac", turned on iPhone4s's "location services" and set up iCloud, etc. In the "Find my iphone" tab of my new iCloud account (on my Macbook Pro) my iPhone4s still won't show—but my macbook does show. I had my iPhone4s set up at the phone store (2 days ago) and It receives gmail, my contacts and calender entries, the weather, etc. I installed the "Find iPhone" app from iTunes on the iPhone4s, synched to iTunes, even reset the phone, but the only device that gets located is my Macbook Pro. I can send a "sound" message to my Mac (and the Mac recieves it) but unable to see the iPhone4s from my Mac, let alone send any message. Any suggestions to get the iPhone4s device to appear in iCloud?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    OK, I figured it out...I deleted the iCloud account off my iPhone (Settings, iCloud, Delete Account), and then added iCloud back in (Settings, iCloud, SignIn)....and then my email (iCloud) and "Find my phone" features worked! Nice!!!!

  • [solved] xorg proglem - won't start, but no error

    Hi folks!
    I'm new to Arch, my first installation, but I used to use Gentoo in the past. Got a problem with making X to run. I followed the guide from the wiki, but I didn't manage it to work.
    I'm using nVidia drivers from 173xx branch (GF 5900XT). Hal is working properly, I hope - /etc/rc.d/restart successes w\o errors.
    At first, I tried to run X without xorg.conf and it complained about missing 'nv' and 'vesa' (i hope) modules. Then, after running nvidia-configure (/etc/X11/xorg.conf was successfully created) and startx - screen blanks (no nVidia logo shown) and after ~3 seconds it comes back with massage "waiting for X server to shut down". In /var/log/Xorg.0.log there were no lines starting with (EE).
    Then I tried to configure X with "X -configure". After making new config and replacing the older one at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and running X with command startx (as user), it complained about missing type1 and truetype modules ((EE) lines as far as I remember). After installing missing packages/modules:
    http://dpaste.com/60888/
    it still won't start. Screen blanks, no nVidia logo shown, and later comes back with well known screen ( usual text... look over /var/log/Xorg.0.log for more details...). Only message after default text id "waiting for X server to shut down", with no (WW) nor (EE) lines above.
    More useful data comes:
    Xorg.0.log
    http://dpaste.com/60883/
    xorg.conf
    http://dpaste.com/60885/
    tail of dmesg
    http://dpaste.com/60887/
    If you need anything else to see, request!
    Any idea? To me, it looks like nvidia driver bug or some xorg bug (or maybe just a misconfiguration)
    In ~/.xinitrc stays only "exec startfluxbox", but even with empty file, situation is the same.
    Thank you in advance,
    Daniel

    Hello, welcome to Arch!
    You should read about the new feature of Xorg, input hotplugging: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … otplugging
    A more detailed explanation can be found here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … otplugging
    Be sure to copy the fdi file in the correct directory.
    Since I am using also the 173xx branch, here is my xorg.conf, hope it will be useful for you:
    http://dpaste.com/60927/
    EDIT: Not 100% sure but I seem to recall that the nvidia driver has some problems when you don't set the default depth. Add that line

  • Bridge CS5 won't launch

    I just installed Master Collection CS5. All software runs OK,  except Bridge. It just quits without starting with usual win7's "Adobe  Bridge CS5 has stopped working". Windows 7 64bit.

    Bridge CS5 wouldn't launch for me either.
    It did launch from Photoshop CS5. And after that re-launches worked, even if it was not running in the background.
    I tried {control} + click on the Bridge icon... nothing came up.
    Thanks,
    Drew

  • Adobe Reader X process starts but application does not open

    I have Adobe Reader X installed on a Windows 7 64bit OS.  Most of the time (95%) when I try to open pdf files that I've saved locally or on the web the process (AcroRd32.exe) will start, but the application and the file do not actually open.
    Sometimes I can shutdown the computer and restart and I'm then able to open pdf files.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application, but the status does not change.  I still continue to have problems opening pdf files.
    I have searched, but cannot find this issue in the discussion board...most users get some type of error.  I checked the event logs on Windows and there are no errors.

    Hi Antonyd22,
    I've found the same issue using Acro Reader 9 on Windows XP.
    Sometimes, when I try to open some PDF documents which are locally saved on my computer, the process AcroRd32.exe (and AcroRd32Info.exe) starts immideately, but the window is not shown for a long time (more than some minutes); trying to start Adobe Acrobat Reader from start menu, the window is shown immideately but it becames "not responding".
    It seems that this behaviour is related to some recent file that it is not more accessible (perhaps because it was located on an unavailable network path).
    To solve this issue, try to reduce the number of recent files (Edit -> Preferences -> Document -> set "Document in recently used list" to 1) and to open a PDF file that it is available locally (in order to set the last used file); then close and restart Adobe Acrobat. 
    In my opionion it is a bug that it is still present with Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.4.7.
