Bridge CS6 Find not working

Just testing my new copy and I can not get the Find function to work in CS6.
I have purged cache in preferences with no change.
When I am in the folder, can see the keyword, choose Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder. Thumbs rebuild, Find still does not find anything.
I have also checked "include non-indexed files" and it does not appear to index anything. With CS5 you see it say "indexing xxx folder" in lower left corner. With CS6 it just says Done.
Could someone else with CS6 test the Find?
Win 7 OS.

Find or Search whichever you call it.
As I rarely use Find (have Canto Cumulus for DAM and search as you well know by now) I can't get it to work properly.
The quick search field top right in Bridge window seems hard coded to only File name and Keywords as options
However having a keyword in the folder and adding this in the quick search it comes up with the correct result.
I changed the actual File window (menu Edit / Find) to search all metadata (the word I was looking for was in the description field) and now it went well.
However changing back to quick search field did not get the wanted result, the content stayed empty.
Choosing new search (button top of content window) brought back the extended file menu but to my surprise not with the criteria 'all metadata' as I had set before but again with File name and keyword.
Seems a bug to me so feel free to file it

Error "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system. To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6"

Hi all,
We are having issues with Adobe Bridge working properly with Photoshop. When trying to access Bridge through Photoshop we receive the following error "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system. To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6"
- We have the Master Collection CS6 installed
- Bridge CS6 is working fine as a stand-alone program
- This is installed on Windows 7 x64
- I am unable to find an uninstall location for Bridge CS6, it is not under control panel > Adobe Master Suite
- All adobe products are up-to-date as of this morning.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

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?

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.

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.

Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working - has issue been resolved?

Hello.
I am experiencing the above problem with a new install of CS6.
Has this issue been resolved?
CS6 Design and Web Premium installed on Win 7 pro 64 bit Dell Precision laptop. Error with Adobe Bridge cs6: "Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working", problem event name "APPCRASH". Error occurs when opening Bridge from Photoshop and other apps (Browse in Bridge) and directly from desktop or start menu. Also a cache directory is not being created under c:\user\<user>\appdata\roaming\adobe\bridge\. Holding ctrl key down and double clicking icon gets same message, cannot get at reset window.
Performed the following with no change: verified Bridge and full suite is on latest version (Bridge=5.0.2.4); created desktop icon directly from bridge.exe; verified application was installed and is starting with administrator privileges; verified latest display driver installed; performed complete uninstall of CS6, CC cleaner tool run, then full reinstall; Error under Event Viewer: faulting application: Bridge.exe and faulting module name: ntdll.dll; disabled UAC; tested memory for damage using MemTest86-good.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

A follow up to the above.
There appears to be a number of possible causes for this type of error. In my case it was somewhat specific. I had a stand alone copy on this same machine previously of Adobe Photoshop CS2 (only) which was completely uninstalled prior to the installation of CS6. There is an issue with Bridge CS6 being installed on a machine that has Bridge CS2 on it. I wasn't aware of Bridge being present with my copy of Photoshop CS2 but apparently there were at least some components of Bridge CS2 left after the uninstall. The workaround that solved the issue for me was the creation of an empty folder:
C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS2
For those of you who may have this situation.
Here is where I found the solution (sixth thread down):

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.

Bridge CS3 "Edit Find" not working after optimizing cache.

Power PC G5
Mac OSX v.10.4.11
3GB RAM
Photoshop CS3
After optimizing the cache, my Edit>Find feature does not work. I looked into the Bridge Preferences and could not find anything under Thumbnails or Cache that can turn it back on. Please advise.

Make sure you have Bridge 2.1.1.9.
Purge the cache for each folder through the Tools menu in Bridge.

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.

Reveal in finder not working

Hi and thanks for reading. This isn't a big issue but I couldn't find any info anywhere on this. I noticed in 5.5 when I click on a clip and try to get it to reveal in Finder nothing happens...I believe it did work when I first installed it but I can't be sure at this point. However the reveal in Bridge works and finds the file. I thought things would fix itself when I did a clean install of Mountain Lion and then installed CS6 but the issue is still there. I find it more convienent to see it in Finder then Bridge especially having to wait for Bridge to open. Does anyone have any ideas why reveal in Finder is not working for me? If it matter I did some rearranging of the Adobe apps...I have the Production Suite...I moved them all from the Applications folder to an Adobe sub folder in the Apps folder. I don't know why Adobe spreads them all out like that. Thanks for any help on this.

There is a major bug in OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 which prevents "Reveal in Finder" (Open in Finder) from working in a variety of applications. The workaround: when it happens run the following in Terminal:
sudo killall -KILL appleeventsd
or, alternatively, quit appleeventsd in Activity Monitor.
Perhaps your issue is related to this.

My OS is Windows Vista with all automatic updates.

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

Bridge CC does not work it did work before

I have Bridge on my machine (Mac) it worked, then I got a message suggesting to purge the cache that did not work so I uninstalled the Bridge CC and reinstalled no different I have to force quit to stop Bridge.

I uninstalled the Bridge CC and reinstalled no different
That is normal because a simple reinstall never solves problems due to a lot of files that stay put on your system without any changes. Quit Bridge, find your user library (by default hidden, use option with menu Go in Finder) and inhere go to the folder Caches/ Adobe/ BridgeCC and inhere you find a folder called caches and a plugin. Delete both files manual to the trash, Restart Bridge and let it takes it time to cache the files again (your central cache has been corrupted or grown to large or both) because your new cache folder is empty and needs to be filled again.
