Bridge CS6 (64bit) becomes unresponsive

Bridge CS6 becomes untresponsive for general operation keys. Lasts for a minute. CS5 is OK. Waht do I do?

If you have Windows OS go to the video card manufacturer site and download the latest driver for your card.
It can also be unresponsive is the anti-virus is scanning the computer. Takes a lot of resources.

Can anyone help me with this as I would really like to be able to use Bridge, I found it useful in CS2 so I'm sure it would be a boon in CS6 incarnation. I called Adobe (Australia) for help and had no joy. The operator I spoke to had a strong accent and with my poor hearing the encounter was useless. Eventually he transferred me to someone else and the phone line conveniently went dead!

For me this was fixed by returning Windows temp and tmp variables to defaults. See details:

Bridge CS6 (64bit) crashes if started as "normal" User (Windows 7 SP1 64bit)

When starting Bridge CS6 (64bit) from the start menu or the Mini Bridge panel in Photoshop CS6 the application crashes.
If Bridge CS6 is started as "Administrator" it works as it should
The 32bit is not tested as it is not installed.

Hi Chenglong,
- I started Bridge several times (also before I created the Crashdump) as administrator. In that case Bridge is starting and works as it is supposed to do
- It is the same here. My system drive is also a tiny SSD and I moved all user profile using NTFS-Junctions to different drives. Also my Camera RAW cache points to a different location (RAID 0 for performance reasons)
- Bridge was installed as user that has granted administrator rights and I accepted the UAC window, that popped up for the installation.
- PS was not reinstalled until now. Should I try to reinstall PS as a solution?
- It also happens if I disable the MMXCore pug-in
- Here is my Systeminfo as requested.

Photoshop CS6 constantly becomes unresponsive

Someone, please help!
Whenever I open a document a document (large size / small size / lots of layers / very few layers) photoshop opens the document, about 70% of the file previews and the Mac rainbow wheel starts spinning and Photoshop becomes entirely unresponsive (I'm only the phone with tech support and will finish after I'm off the call — thanks in advance for your patience.
They want me to close all apps (including this one).

MacBook Pro
Mac 10.6.8
Intel Core 2 Duo
2.8 Ghz
4GB RAM
275 GB Local Free Disc Space / Scratch Disc Space
Primarily work on files on Networked Servers (4TB)
I've installed all updates
Trashed Prefs (worked better briefly)
Started disabling all 3rd Party Plugins (worked better briefly)
Once the file opens, it previews 3/4 of the image in the file, and the rainbow wheel starts spinning. Photoshop becomes unresponsive. If I go to the find and open the Force Quit box, it states that Photoshop is unresponsive. Then I wait. Up to 5 minutes, sometimes 10. Sometimes Photoshop becomes responsive again. Sometimes it doesn't. I've just lost so many hours of productivity over the last 2 months since my update to CS6. I upgraded from CS4 which was amazingly fast and responsive — even with numerous other apps open.
Do I just not have enough memory or free disc space? If I have other applications running, my "efficiency" plumits. If I "Purge All". It comes back up. Is CS6 that much more intensive than CS4? I just need to get things humming again. Any thoughts / Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Even local drives not seen by Bridge CS6 (64bit)

Hi,
I am having problems with Bridge CS6 unable to find any drives in the system as well as Network Drives. The funny thing is I can see all local and Network Drives in Bridge in the Folders Panel as well as in Edit->Camera Raw Preferences, but when I try Edit ->Preferences->Cache-> Choose, all I see is Desktop & \User Folder. No local drives or network drives. I am running Bridge as an Adminstrator, and Windows 7 Professional, 64Bit. I do not have any problems whatsoever in other CS6 applications like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Indesign, Fireworks, Dreamweaver etc.
Please see the screen shot below:
What hurts? TIA.

Bridge CS6 (64bit) - on Windows 8.1 pro Freezes and it delays showing content while opening

I have been using Bridge/Photoshop without any incident. But recently when I open Bridge it takes too long to show content and If I double click on a folder or photo It freezes showing in the bar above - not responding. After some seconds it goes back to life. I have not installed any software. I have the program installed in the C Hard Drive, the Photos and the Cache in different Hard Drives with plenty of space (WD - Black Series). I have also checked the hard drives just in case but are OK. Any guess???? Thank you

A month ago I uninstalled AVG Internet security from my computer making it a lot less potent to BSODs in general, (can't reacall having any.) So today I thought I'd try to learn some more Audition. I could Sit with it for a good while just playing around with recordings and settings and my system didn't react weirdly at all. So the next step was of course to try and load some of the Udemy lectures I had waiting.
As the video was buffering I turned away from the computer for a while, but when I came back it had completely froze up again... I don't think I've ever had a BSOD in this context either, instead of going into BSOD the computer just stops responding completely.
(I'm using the latest version of Flash, tried with both Firefox and Chrome.)
I'm thinking this is a very niche bug and I can't seem to se that it can be anything but a conflict with Flash. Weither it's a memory leek or what ever it is.
I can use Audition fine on my computer it seems, as long as I never start a browser in risk of loading a Flash application, (which would be fine if I was avid, but I need some lectures to get started.)
Nothing really seems to be overloaded (RAM/CPU) before the freeze ocurs either.
I don't really know where or how to adress this to the Flash Player forum/community, (or if there is one.)
Thanks.

Bridge CS6 - Preview Panel Zoom level

Greetings-
In using Adobe Bridge CS6 (w/latest updates as of 06/13/2014), when previewing video files, the preview panel will automatically zoom into the video. I've tried resetting the preferences (Holding down control while starting), resetting the workspaces - this has not worked.
I saw in another thread where the author mentioned a "zoom toolbar" but this only refers to the thumbnail panel - NOT the preview panel.

I'm running Bridge CS6 64bit
I'm sorry, am a Mac user and rarely use movies. Although a .MOV file shows without problems in my preview window. And your screenshot only shows part of the workspace, maybe try again with the whole screen and the preview window filled with zoom?
Try another workspace and even try to reset preferences again, sometimes it needs more then once to solve a problem. And Windows is very critical for the use of correct graphic card drivers but that is out my league I'm afraid.

Bridge CS6 constantly re-caching?

In Bridge CS6 (64bit on Windows 7) I noticed that each time I visit a folder I see "activity" in the lower left corner of the window. I see the spinning circle, and reports that tumbnails and previews are being extracted.
This happens on folders that have been previously visited and fully cached. In fact, it happens every time you return to the Bridge window after using a different window (Explorer, Browser, etc.), even though Bridge was left pointing at the same folder. If you use Bridge to open a file in Photoshop and then return to Bridge, re-caching occurs.
So I did some testing and found the cause. It appears that Bridge will constantly re-cache layered tif files. Flat tif files, DNG files, CR2 files, jpegs are not re-cached. Strangely, layered PSD files are not re-cached either. Only layered tif files. And more strangely, not all layered tif files, but most. I haven't figured out that pattern yet. Re-caching of layered tif files occurs regardless of whether they are 8bit or 16bit, compressed or not compressed.
This is a little bothersome when you have folders with a large number of layered tif files. The constant re-caching process can take a lot of time, and is using up CPU and I/O bandwidth for no apparent reason. It's generating the same cache thumbnails over and over, both the 1024 and 256 versions.
I can't find any setting within Bridge that controls this (make it stop). So, questions are:
1. Why is this? Is it a feature or a bug?
2. Any way to make it stop?
3. Can others verify it happens on their system (Windows or Mac)?

I suspect it may be unintentional, but short of being a real bug.
If it worked before in CS5 it well might be qualified as a bug. Anyway, since you discovered this behavior you should report it as bug
Personally I only use tiff for saving in ACR when needed for other applications that can't handle DNG and PSD very well.
Having a bunch of tiffs for this purpose (did not try create layer sin them) enabling and disabling tiff support in Camera Raw prefs starts the caching on my machine for those files. So be prepared on recaching (although not going on, just until finished) when switching the support on and off!
When it comes to layers I only use PSD, in fact, I save every file as PSD as basis for archive. Not saying Tiff is disappearing but it is not a format as popular as it used to be in the early days, especially when it comes to layers
And if you have enabled tiff support and open them in ACR with choosing the option to open as Smart Object they can be saved in a layered file as PSD. As long as they are a Smart Object they can get back to ACR

Bridge CS6 freezes when generating PDF output (windows 8)

I am using Adobe Bridge CS6 (64bit) on a Windows 8 machine. I have photos that I want to output to PDF. Bridge will freeze in the process of generating the PDF file. I have to go to the Task Manager to quit. Sometimes the PDF file has been made successfully when I look for it. Other times not.

I have photos that I want to output to PDF. Bridge will freeze in the process of generating the PDF file.
How many files and how big are these files?
What filetype do you use?
Output (as Bridge itself) can be very processor demanding on a big task and enough RAM and free space left on start up disk.
How much RAM and free space do you have?

Bridge CS6 friert nach jedem Klick ein

Mein Problem Bridge CS6 64Bit friert nach jeder Aktion kurz den Screen ein. Egal was ich mache ich muss immer 6-10 Sek warten.
CS6 ist ein Upgrade von CS5, CS5 wurde komplett vor der Installation von CS6 entfernt mit dem Cleaner von Adobe.
Bridge wurde mit Crtl bereits resettet, der Cache wurde geleert, leider brachte nichts einen Erfolg.
Dankbar für jede Idee.

Du solltest den gesamten Cache in Bridge löschen und neu aufbauen lassen. Gerade, dass mit einem neuen User alles einwandfrei funktioniert, würde das noch unterstreichen. Caches aus Vorversionen sind in der jeweils aktuelen Version eine Bremse.
Voreinstellungen (Mac im Bridge.Menü, Win im Bearbeiten-Menü) > Cache leeren
Dann solltest Du die anderen Einstellungen in diesem Bereich ansehen, was für Dich sinnvoll ist. Bei manchen Windows-Computern kann es sinnvoll sein, die Speicherorte für den Cache nicht im Roaming Profile abzulegen, was dort standard ist.
Zudem gibt es noch einen eigenen Cache für das Camera-Raw-Modul. Dort ebenso die Einstellungen anpassen und den Cache leeren.

Images in Bridge have suddenly become much brighter than when I call them into Photoshop CS6.

Images in Bridge have suddenly become much brighter then when I call them into Photoshop CS6. My monitor is calbrated.

First go the Bridge / Camera Raw preferences.
Inhere under 'default image settings' are 4 options to put a checkmark in front.
If there is a checkmark in front of "apply auto tone adjustments' deselect it and try again.
Otherwise select one problem file and with right mouse click menu choose 'purge cache for selection'. If this works then go to menu tools / cache/ purge cache for folder.
If still in trouble could you provide more details about versions and OS and preferable a screenshot to clarify the problem more?

Photoshop CS6 - Quick Selection tool freezes Photoshop/ becomes unresponsive for minutes

After only two selections the tool becomes unresponsive for minutes.
I'm on a 2.6 Ghz retina MacBook Pro, 16 Gb RAM, and this in connection with an SSD should make this tool very good to use. Operating system: OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", latest update.
Unfortunately, it seems to develop some kind of overload, during which you cannot use Photoshop at all. No commands like "undo selection", "quit", "close file" are accepted.
There is no beachball, no other signs that Photoshop is working on something.
Hint: it seems to happen when you option select (subtract from an existing selection).
Hint: the freeze can be shortened by a tool switch (has to be through clicking on a tool, keyboard commands are frozen as well)
Hint: the "subtract selection" move that caused the freeze appears after Photoshop comes back to life after a couple of minutes. The subtraction to the selection seems to be random, makes no sense, and is not the regular function of the tool.
First step after this freeze would be to undo the last selection, and continue working.
If you do several "add to selection" moves, they add up in a kind of waiting line. If you do the subtract from selection move, this doesn't work, and the freeze happens.
So far, I have not noticed the freeze when adding to a selection. Adding to a selection was always quick and instant. The bug must sit in the "subtract from selection" code.
On most freezes, the ants continue walking, I just had one (again with subtracting selection) where even the ants stopped walking.
I don't think it has anything to do with Photoshop working. I have used the quick selection tool regularly under CS5 on my old machine (which was a museum piece), and while I had to wait sometimes, it was never ground to a freeze/halt like the quick selection tool under CS6.

Did this work before, or has it always been this way? Not a bug or everyone with your system would be complaining. Have not seen that.
If it has always worked that way a reset of preferences will probably not do anything.
A reset of preferences will reset to factory defaults, so you will have to reset to saved workspace.
Do you have at least 10% free disk space?

Sometimes my keyboard becomes unresponsive when using Photoshop CS6, & I have to restart

Since I upgraded to Photoshop CS6, I've found that every once in a while the keyboard becomes unresponsive. I can't tell whether anything specific that I'm doing triggers it, but I'll be editing an image and will press a shortcut key and find it doesn't work. It doesn't happen when I first open up an image, but usually after I've been working for a while. As far as I can tell (it's pretty random) it seems to happen when I'm using a tool to apply an effect to an image, like this last time it happened when I'd been using the Spot Healing Brush repeatedly on a photograph. (Of course that could be correlation without causality, since I'm a big fan of the Spot Healing Brush and tend to use it quite a bit whenever I'm editing photos). Note that the modifier keys still function, but all of the letter and number keys are unresponsive.
Sometimes - and lately it seems like it happens always, there's a sound associated with the shut off. It's possible that the times I didn't hear the sound I had my speakers off. It's a brief clicking noise - and I don't think it's any of the built-in alert sounds on my Mac, since I just listened to all of them and I recall this sound being different - but the sound is definitely coming from my speakers and is not a mechanical sound from the machine. I have no idea what might be causing this. I saw someone complaining of this a couple of years ago, who thought it might have to do with a Wacom tablet. I own one, but don't always use it, and this happens even when I'm not using it. The only way I've found to get my keyboard responding again is to shut down Photoshop and restart.
I'm on a Macbook Pro, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, with 8GB Ram; I'm on OS X 10.7.4 (not quite ready to upgrade to Mountain Lion).

Okay - it looks like I've solved my own problem after a few hours searching for related problems on the web. It's not a problem with Photoshop but with Mac OS X. The default "Universal Access" mouse and trackpad preferences were set to "Press the Option Key five times to turn Mouse Keys On or Off." So when I use a tool that I'm modifying with the option key, and I use it repeatedly five times in a row, I hear the clicking sound that means turn on "Mouse Keys" (and turn off the regular keys). Turn off that option, and the problem is solved!

Itunes becomes unresponsive when trying to start a rented movie

as the title says.
I really don't want to waste 4 dollars on a movie that won't play, the 24 hour countdown has started 10 minuntes ago from this post.
I have Itunes for my windows 7 computer i have 8 gigs of ram and plenty of space on my hard drive and an i7 processor, there should be absoulutly no problem playing a movie....but there is.
Help from someone knowlegable would be appreciated and not from some nobody.
thanks in advance,
(angry customer who always has problems with technology) aka me

I just installed it on a Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, Dell Vostro machine (less than a year old), Intel Core i5 ivy bridge processor and 4 Gigabytes of RAM. The only other program running is Excel 2013 64bit.
I just installed iTunes and has become unresponsive twice. I cannot move it, change it nor close it. The first time it also made all Windows 8 apps and desktop apps unusable. This is in no way a good sign of stability from Apple's part. Please, make it as stable (or close) as it is on Macs.
