Installed cs6, error message 'unable to read cach; when i purge cache as suggested the system hangs.
Quit Bridge and delete the cache file manually to the trash and start Bridge again, This will create a brand new central cache file.
On a Mac it is in the user library / caches/ Adobe / Bridge CS and in here dump both the plug in file and the cache folder to the trash.

Duplicate posts usually dilute the impact, as the history of the problem is gone as well as potential solutions offered. It has been my observation with difficult problems that a solution offered works for some and not for others.
In addition when soutions are found not all duplicate posts would see the answer.
Best to comment on the original post and that will bring it back to the top of the list.

Bridge CS6 Photo downloader freezes on .mov files

Bridge CS 6 photo downloader freezes on .mov files from a T4i. To get the video files I've had to use Bridge CS5 photo downloader.
I have PS CS5, PrPro & AE CS6 if this makes a difference. Photos are no problem downloading.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I shoot both. I use Bridge & ACR CS6 to view and edit Raw files. CS5 doesn't recognise the Raw files (had to convert to dng before I got Bridge CS6). CS6 will download both Raw & Jpeg files. It hangs up on the .mov files.
I use a card reader on my Epson printer. I've cleared the cache in Bridge. How do I resfresh the prefs in Bridge?
My OS:
Intel i7 3770, Windows 7 Pro w/SP1, 64 bit, Intel 520 Series SSD, 32G RAM, 2 – 2T RAID, (1T external), GTX 550 Ti graphics
Thanks for your help.

I am trying to use the Mini Bridge in Adobe Photoshop CS6 (desktop) and all I get is "Waiting for Bridge CS6 ..." in the panel at the bottom of the screen.

I am running on a Core i7 iMac with 20GB or RAM and have already done the two applicable steps in the main Adobe help area relating to Switchboard (Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel) to no avail. Any ideas?

Have you tried to start the bridge CS6 then open Photoshop CS6 try to use the mini bridge.
I have a problem on windows too. Sometimes when I open CS6 version 13.1.2 and try to use the mini bridge Its panels has a message Bridge must be running and there is a launch bridge button. When I use that button Bridge gets launched but may hangs before displaying its application window or anything in the mini bridge panel. I can terminate the bridge when this happens with windows task manager and start the bridge. After doing that the mini bridge launch button became a reconnect button using it mini bridge then work.
I can also start Bridge CS6 before Photoshop CS6 and mini bridge works as soon as Photoshop is up and running.

Bridge cs6 freezes when i select video files

Was hoping someone could help me solve this problem
I just installed CS6 master collection however am having a problem with bridge
even though bridge displays thumbnails of my avi files, every time i click on an avi file to select it bridge hangs/freezes and i have to force quit
this also happens when i select all in a folder that has avi files or other video files in it
it even happens when i select a folder that has a video file in it..it just hangs and stops responding
i still have bridge cs5 installed and it is displaying all files in folders perfectly including video files
the avi files are from my camera therefore they are really all around 1-3mins long
OS: Mac 10.6.8
i7
media stored on external hardrive firewire 8

i followed your instructions and after restarting bridge it actually let me select the folder with the video files...it displayed the first 19 preview extractions with their thumbnails in the content pane in less than a second
then it took 40 minutes to show the next 80 and with these there were no thumbnail preview files
it took at least a minute after clicking on a video file for bridge to select it and tho it did display the metadata there were no preview in the preview pane
after restarting bridge a second time..i encountered the same problem as before...inability to even select the folder with the avi files
i dont know if this will help but these 3 error messages appear everytime it hangs ( i don't understand what they mean but maybe you do)

thanx for all your help so far

Bridge CS6 Cache and Freezing Issues

I downloaded Bridge CS6 and I have not been able to use it yet. I am on a MacBook Pro running 10.7.4 and every time I launch Bridge I get the following error:
Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation.
When I try to purge the cache Bridge freezes up. If I don't try and purge the cache I am unable to navigate to any folders on my computer and it just hangs. I eventually have to force quit to get out of it. So far Bridge CS6 has been completely unusable.
Please help.
Thanks.

When I go to ~Library/Caches/ there is a folder for com.adobe.bridge5 but there isn't one for com.adobe.bridge6
Your in the wrong folder. Follow the path you have discovered yourself using the pref settings Curt suggested
~library/caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6 and inhere should be 2 files:
Adobe Bridge Plug-in Cache
and the folder called Cache. Inhere should be 4 folders called '254', '1024', 'data' and 'full'
All those folders carry the content of the respective quality of the thumbs and preview as well as 100 % cache and Bridge database.
Any way, Since you have not used Bridge you have no relevant amount of cache and I would suggest you quit both PS and Bridge and manual delete both the items (plug in and folder called cache at the end of the Bridge CS6 path mentioned above.
(both files will refresh itself after a restart of Bridge).
To be on the save side also visit in same user library the folder Preferences and look for the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist" (yes it is Bridge 5 that comes with CS6, all Adobe apps have their own version number and they are presented in the same Suite version. CS6 has PS version 13 and Bridge version 5 )
also drag this file to the trash.
Then hold down option key (alt) while starting Bridge and this should give you the option to reset the preferences as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Choose reset prefs and try again.

Problem purging cache with Bridge CS6

When I open Bridge CS6, I get a message that the cache needs to be purged. When I initiate the purge, the program hangs, and I have to Force Quit. How can I resolve this?

You posted in the Photoshop forum by mistake. I've moved your post to the Bridge forum where you are more likely to get answers about Bridge issues.

Adobe Bridge CS6 stalls in Photoshop...

I downloaded CS6 Design Standard from Adobe webpage and have tried several times to get mini bridge/bridge to run, but the message 'Waiting for Bridge CS6' runs for hours. I am using a 64-bit Dell desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium. I have tried option 4 on Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel, but nothing changes on deleting the Switchboard from the registry. Some folks here have suggested looking up bridge.exe in the Task Manager, but my task manager doesn't even show it up.
I would appreciate help, and soon.

Well… that's your expectation. Did you pay for the download? During the first 30 days you'd be entitled to your money back, but it's been a heck of a lot longer since Adobe demanded or accepted any mnoney for "CS6 Design Standard". If you just recently acquired that obsolete suite, it was certainly not through a legal purchase from the Adobe store.

Adobe Bridge CS6, Camera Raw

Hello,
I need urgently help.
I'm working on a MacBook Pro with Adobe Bridge CS6 since more than 1 year, using Camera Raw, v 8.6.0.254 without any problems.
Last month I bought a Mac Book Air and installed Photoshop Elements 12, Adobe Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6. But I'm still missing the possibility to open my pictures in Camera Raw.
After downloading the actual version 7.01 of Camera Raw from the website of Adobe.com and trying to install it I got the following error report:
UPDATE FEHLGESCHLAGEN;
Updates konnten nicht installiert werden. Dieser Path ist für Sie nicht geeignet.
Name of the downloaded program is: AdobeCameraRaw-7.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.
What shall I do to get Camera Raw running?
Thanks so much for your help

Adobe Bridge CS6 on Retina Display

I just installed Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Retina Macbook Pro and updated Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop with the latest updates. In Photoshop, everything looks crisp (including Camera Raw when opening it from Photoshop), but Bridge is still blurry. In addition, when opening Camera Raw from Bridge, everything is blurry. There are no updates available for Bridge/Photoshop/Camera Raw when I check for updates...any ideas on fixing this?
Adobe Bridge CS6 - 5.0.2.4
Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended 13.0.6 x64
Adobe Camera Raw 8.3.0.141

There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

Adobe Bridge CS6 display question

I am a landscape photographer. Many times I shoot multiple exposures of the same scene to combine them later in HDR. These are generally 3 or 5 exposures taken at the same time. It would be very useful to see each set of multiple exposures on a separate line in Adobe Bridge so I can quickly choose which set to use for processing in HDR. Does anybody know how to do that? I could not see it in the View options in the menu bar of Bridge. I am using Adobe Bridge CS6 (5.0.1.21) on MAC OSX 10.6.8. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

You can't do so in Bridge when having different amounts of series. If you shot always 5 you could drag the content window to a new size in combination with changing the thumbnail size so 5 thumbs would show in a row. The same with 3 but there is no way to have a content window showing 1 line with 3 and 1 line with 5 files in the same panel.
In filmstrip mode you have 1 single line but that does not meet you wishes also.
There is the option to auto stack for HDR or Photomerge (Stacks / Auto stack Panorama-HDR) but frankly spoken this sucks because it either does not do the job properly or simply crashes Bridge to my experience.

Adobe Bridge (CS6) - bulk action - JPEG Options must be OKed for every image

Hi all-
I created an action script for a watermark in Photoshop CS6. Then, I ran my script as a bulk action in Adobe Bridge (CS6) against my JPEGs. However, the JPEG Options dialog/window appears for every image in PS. Is there a way to have this automatically OK (and at the highest quality) so that I don't have to sit and click OK over and over?
I am on a Mac btw.
Thanks!

File Associations in Bridge CS6

I upgraded CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design & Web Premium. Most of my preferences (layout, etc) were imported correctly from CS5. When I right-click (PC, Windows 7) on the Bridge CS6 thumbnail, and click on 'Open with ...', there was a collection of Microsoft programs (COM Surrogate 6.1, Microsoft PowerPoint 12.0, Publisher 12.0, Windows Live Photo Gallery 15.4), and no Photoshop (Default). When I used the WIndows fille-associations program, and Photoshop CS6 was associated with *.psd files, then it appeared in the 'Open with ...' menu as Photoshop (Default). However, the other Microsoft programs are still present. How do I get rid of these and add the relevant Adobe programs (Ai, Id, Dw, etc), please?

With Windows 7 unfortunately you're not really given the tools to completely manage what shows up in the context menu. It seems to be part of Microsoft's strategy of oversimplifying things, even when there's loss of functionality, so that laypeople don't find Windows daunting. I always figured better education and help facilities ought to do the trick, but they continually take the power to control one's own computer away. You don't want to know what's coming in Windows 8.

White Balance Metadata not showing in Adobe Bridge CS6

Hi there, I am running Bridge CS6 on a Mac, and use Canon 5D and 5DMark 111 cameras. I have an issue with Bridge which I can not seem to figure out. Whether I shoot Raw or JPG and I am trying to do some testing for white balance, once I open the images in Bridge, in the little icon panel just below the folders/favourites panel etc I can see the f stop info, speed, metering , ISO etc, but the only icons I get for WB are if use auto - then I see AUTO. But when I do a manual WB like 'cloudy', 'tungsten', or 'shade' etc all I get are the symbols for 'Custom" or "Manual". How do I get the actual symbols for what type of WB i've chosen to show up?
I have purged the Cache - both in the individual folder and the overall Cache in preferences. I have checked that all the boxes are ticked in the preferences panel for the Metadata. So not sure what else to do.
Cheers D

Ok thanks for that, at least I wont be chasing my tail.
I did install the DNG converter 8.3 but I still NEF files as a NEF icon. Any clues to what I may not be doing right there?

Camera Raw Preferences in Adobe Bridge CS6

I can click on Camera Raw Preferences from the Adobe CS6 Menu, but nothing happens. No error meesages come up, but nothing happens.
I recently installed ACR7.3. I did have some problems getting ACR7.3 installed. The updater from Photoshop and Bridge didn't seem to install it. I had to download ACR7 and install it.
After the successful install of ACR7.3, I can double click on an image in Adobe Bridge CS6 and it will open the raw image in ACR7.3 in Photoshop CS6.
The other annoyance is that the images for my RAW files for my Panasonci GH3 don't display in Adobe Bridge. They appear as a blank icon
I am running on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 64 bit
Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.0.399
Adobe Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
Adobe PS C6 13.0.4 x64
I do have older versions of Adobe CS5 and CS4 that I have never removed. I've never had problems before. And didn't need the space so I just left them.
Any ideas of why Adobe Bridge CS6 and ACR7.3 aren't in sync? - Thanks Rod

Ok, everything was ok until I rebooted my machine. Now when I open Adobe Bridge CS6, The Raw images show up initially. But when Adobe Bridge finally gives me control, the images have become blank icons again. I've tried the CommandOptionShift and it does not help. It was fine for two weeks and now I can't get the raw images to stay.
Here is what I see as Adobe Opens the older. The Raw images are viewable.
Now this is how they look after Adobe Bridge has finished opening and I can click on something:
Where do I go from here?
