Bridge CS6 does not recognize videos but CS4 does

Hi forum,
My copy of Bridge CS6 suddenly stopped showing a preview image for video files and does not play them either.  Lightroom 4.4 and Lightroom 5 also do not recognize video files (.mov's, .avi's, m-pegs...).  My Lightroom used to have no problem playing them.
Bridge CS4 sees them and plays them as normal.
I purged my video cache in Lightroom, uninstalled and reinstalled it, updated Quicktime and am running OSX 10.8.5.

    Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G.  Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch?  Is there a simple solution.  Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

    Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Bridge CS6 did not download, PS window over extends below Mac icons at bottom

    I subscribed to CS6 and Bridge CS6 is not activated. When I try it takes me back to Bridge CS4. Also, my PS window extends below my laptop icons so that I am not able to see bottom icons from my layers pallet. I've try to get tech support for 3 days. Spending 3 hrs waiting on the phone 1st day, 3.5 hrs on the second(my phone number was taken by contact person but did not received same and today I've waited since 10 am and it's 10:30 pm(via prompter I was told to expect a call back at 11:30 am). I don't understand what is the problem? When I subscribed there was a friendly operator to sign me up without a hassle.

    Screenshots tell a lot. I would guess, though, that it works ias it always has - by default, PS will open in fullscreen and if you don't auto-hide your dock and keep it in teh forerground all the tiem, naturally it will interfere with any app running in fullscreen. For Bridge, you can change the associations manualyl in the Bridge prefs and enabling/ disabling the relevant startup scripts.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 will not open

    Just started trial of Adobe Photoshop CC  ( CS6 and Bridge CS 6)
    Photoshop  downloaded ok but Bridge CS6 will not open after installation.
    I have used Adobe Bridge with CS2 before but since removing CS2 and installing CS6 and Adobe Bridge 6 64Bit Adobe Bridge will not open.
    Help
    watchet7

    CS2 seems to conflict with CS6.  One user found this to work.  AppData is a hidden folder in case you try this.
    I finally got it to launch via instructions from another web page. In my case, I am running Win 7 Professional 64-bit and previously loaded Photoshop and Bridge versions CS2 (along with Illustrator and InDesign CS2), which might have been part of the problem. The solution for me was to create an empty "Bridge CS2" folder in the C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\. Worked like a charm.
    You might have to use the Adobe Script Cleaner to get rid of traces of the CR2 files.

    Does not make a difference is bridge is open or not.
    Yes, we are accessing it through File/browse in bridge.
    OK, back to square 1.
    Does Bridge work normally?  Does it load Bridge CS6 or does CS5 come up?  Only one version can run at same time.
    If you double click on an image it opens in CS6?

    When you remove the obvious,
    that which is left must therefore be the truth -- Sherlock Holmes
    Short version:
    When I created a new lightroom catalog, and imported a single, standalone file, It worked fine. But when I imported to the new catalog, any photos from my existing catalog, it would fail.
    Turns out that I was doing something a bit out of the ordinary with the IPTC Copyright field. In order to make my copyright information look "different" when I would export a file.
    One would normally put in that field something like "© 2009 someone". I discovered a few months ago that I could make this field display as a multi line entry.
    ie.
    if you wanted to put XY into the copyright field, but wanted it to display as:
    X
    Y
    all you would have to do is to put a carrage return between the two characters. (hint ctl^enter). Now when you displayed the "copyright" in an output file, it will display
    vertically instead of all the characters in a horizontal line.
    After being frustrated by this for a couple of weeks, I simply started removing every option that I might have applied to photographs that I would import with Lightroom. One of the last ones was the "vertical" information I put in the copyright field in a Preset. (when you remove the obvious...).
    Funny thing is that no program really cares about the formatting of that field, or if it has multiple lines in the data, or special characters.......It even opens up just fine in Photoshop / Gimp / PSE / etc. with no problems.
    But, if you have multiple lines of data in the Copyright Field (and I suspect others as well),
    AND you want to open up the file from Lightroom in Photoshop, using the standard menu item of " Edit with Photoshop CS4", for some reason Photoshop will start, but never open the designated file. I would expect some parsing something just giving up after it encounters a CR.
    But.....All is well that ends well. Now I can quit obsessing, and move on to something else...
    Best,
    Jim

  • My iMovie on my 2011 iMac does not recognize video taken on my new iPad, is there a way to resolve this?  I would like to take movies on my iPad and make movies in iMovie on my iMac.

    My iMovie on my 2011 iMac does not recognized videos taken on my new iPad.  Is there a way to correct this, or perhaps I am doing something incorrect.  When I connected my iPad to my iMac, iPhoto popped up, but not iMovie.

    You have to import the movie into iTunes via iOS file sharing, then drag the movie from the file sharing window in iTunes to the desktop, then you can import the movie into iMovie. Here are the details.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 does not display WMF graphics files - what to do?

    The question says it all.  I am running Win7Pro 64bit with Adobe Bridge CS6.  This may be a windows/microsoft/wmf file format problem...but what to do?  WMF files display with a icon only.  Please advise.

    Apparently Bridge cannot preview .WMF files. I have old ClickArt CDs and occasionally want an image. So I have converted all the .WMF files to .AI using a script in Illustrator. Once converted, Bridge will display a thumbnail.
    Here is the script written by Carlos Canto. (Thank you Carlos, whoever you are!)
    Copy the script text. Paste in a plain text editor. Save as ConvertWMFtoAi.jsx in the folder Program Files: Adobe: Adobe Illustrator CS6: Presets: en_US: Scripts
    Then you find it in Illustrator under File: Scripts
    // script.name = makeAiFilesPDFcompatible.jsx;
    // script.description = opens and resaves Ai files with PDF compatibility checked (Folder Batch);
    // script.requirements = none
    // script.parent = CarlosCanto // 06/4/2013;

  • Bridge CS6 does not allow to export pictures anymore

    I am running Bridge CS6 from the Creative Cloud on a Powermac with Mac OSX Lion.
    With Bridge CS5 I used to convert my Raw files through (German version) Dateien > exportieren in
    And here – where the old version offered to choose a folder – there is just an unselectable »Services« visable.
    Why is that so? It is a pretty important funktion to me.
    Please help.

    Solved.
    Found this thread through Google (not through the forum search ).

    The Export panel solves it.
    Would be easier to offer this also over the file menu export option as in former versions.

  • Why is Internet Explorer 8 Not Recognizing Video on CS4?

    As we use Macintosh iMacs we cannot validate IE 8 on our CS4 Dreamweaver.
    But looking at a PC earlier we saw that IE8 did not recognize the video on our web page.
    We checked it at http://validator.w3.org But there was no given reason why.
    Does anyone know why? It works on Safari, Firefox and Opera.
    Thanks for any help...

    Microsoft's web browsers are bad. Very bad.
    But they all work with Flash if you have a Flash plugin and most people using Internet Exploiter download Flash. Problem is, that won't work for iPads.
    If, what you are trying to do is use HTML5, it simply won't work with a Microsoft browser. It will work with Webkit (Safari and Chrome) and will not work with Firefox until Firefox supports a video standard (which they won't until someone comes up with an Open Source video Codec).
    So Flash is still pretty much it.
    What I'm looking to do is to go with HTML 5 and do a detection for Internet Exploder and Firefox and offer a Flash alternative for them. I don't have an example yet, but I'll be looking at ways to do that.

  • Bridge CS6 will not start in Windows 7

    Bridge CS6 (both 32 and 64) don't start in Windows 7. 
    Bridge starts in Task Manager for a few seconds, but goes away.  No errors, no logs.
    I have tried all the suggestions I've found within the forums, including checking settings,, temp environment variables, deleting C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS6 (including the directory itself), etc.  No luck.   Adding a new user, then using it to start Bridge worked great, but that is not really a solution.  One added piece of info:  Bridge did recreate the above directory before dying, although it remains empty.  I haven't found any logfiles that might help understand how far it got.   Is there a log file or a registry setting that will enable detailed logging to help diagnose this?
    I managed to gather a temp xml file that has some info that might help.  This file shows up for the few seconds when Bridge is running.

    There is obviously something in my normal user's profile or environment that is getting in the way of startup.  Yes, my normal user is an admin. You (Adobe) have the code and the startup can't be that convoluted. Someone should be able to walk the code, figure out what things are checked between creating the above directory and the next externally detectable step (like creating a file in this directory or logging something into a log file), then reply here with a list of specific things to check.
    I got into a chat with Adobe support several days ago, where I went through several steps of ensuring I was using a properly licensed version only to be told that he didn't know Bridge and asked that I call during the day on Monday. The sign off message to that chat was funny - they mentioned 24x365 support :-) Luckily, I've worked support in my past and I have a sense of humor.
    I tried to file a bug form the web, but failed to navigate the amazingly bad support web experience of Adobe.com.  At one point, I had found a place to do it, pasted the above into that window, then tried to submit - I wasn't logged in.  So, I clicked the login link and got an error pop-up window with a bad-link error.  I came in fresh - logged in, then could not find that "report a bug" screen again.  Truly amazing.  But I guess, if you cannot report a bug, it doesn't exist - so congratulations on your bug-free products.
    A suggestion:
    Provide a simple link to report a bug that's not tied to a service plan.  It would simply be a way to tell you about problems with the hope that a solution could be provided in a future release - these can optionally be logged to the forums for community involvement.  I don't mind logging in to prove I'm a valid user.

    Adobe staff has to browse these forums on their own time (I know that should be part of their job) so their visits are infrequent.
    There are several sites to report bugs which seems to be counterproductive.   I think this one has the most support right now. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
    And you are sure you are not running Bridge CS5 in the background?  You can only run one Bridge program at any one time.
    In both the Mac and Win OS seems like the workaround to create a new user works frequently, but it is a hassle.  In your problem solving did you unistall everything then run the Adobe Script Cleaner? 
    Although this is a stretch for this problem, but might search your uninstall directroy and see if there are any expired Adobe trials you have not uninstalled.  For whatever reason it can stop launch of Bridge "as you need to launch parent application at least once".  Apparently even though it is long gone it is still seeing it as "parent" program.  As I said it is kind of a stretch here, but you never know.
    Good luck on this as I know it is extrememly frustrating and Adobe does have its communication problems. 
    That is why it is important for the users to step up and start contributing to these forums with suggestions on what to try, thiings they have tried and worked or did not, etc. 

  • Web gallery upload problem - the server switched to FTPS and now Bridge CS6 won't recognize it.

    I use Bridge CS6 on a Mac to create & upload web galleries directly to my website. My web server just changed and they no longer support FTP, only FTPS. When I try to upload a web gallery now, Bridge gives me the message that my username/password is incorrect. I have tested the server and can connect via Fetch so I know that it's possible to connect to the server. Is there anywhere in Bridge that allows you to change the FTP settings to allow it to recognize the FTPS? I cannot seem to find any information, I feel like there should be a simple fix and I'm probably overlooking it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    I Have a Master collection license. Is there a possibility to install Bridge separately ? There is no option to install it separately during the install process :-/
    Bridge is not a seperate program.  It is part of Photoshop.  That is why some users have to  launch Bridge the first time from PS to make it work. 
    Not familliar with the Suite, but if there are other applications where you can launch Bridge from the program try it.
    Also, make sure you have uninstalled any Adobe trials that may cause a conflict with permissions.

  • Bridge cs6 doesn't recognize my cs5.5 .indd files?

    I just upgraded from CS 5.5 to CS 6. When I go into Bridge and double click an old CS5.5 .indd file it tries to open in MS Word. (I find this very strange) If I right click the file and click "open with" the only option it gives me is MS Word. I don't even get that "try another program" button. When i go into InDesign and click file/open the file opens fine. The problem is that Bridge is much faster and I really want to use it. I checked with a coworker that upgraded the same time I did and she is having the same issue only she saves her files to her desktop and can no longer double click to open. Also when she does an "open with" she has multple options but none of them are InDesign. So with that said, I don't think this is a Bridge issue but I wasn't sure where else to post it. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Maybe also try the InDesign forum for this.
    When you look in to Bridge preferences you have the section 'File Type Associations' and inhere you can select the default application to open the files in. Inhere should be a list of all installed versions of ID visible and you can select one as the default.
    Bridge is version specific and it might expect ID CS6 for bridge CS6 but usually it auto selects the correct version upon install. Can you check if the ID version you need is still in the File Type Associations?
    And since your colleague has the same problem, are you working on a server environment?
