Bridge CS6, USB 3.0, D800 and .jpg

Hello,
Bridge CS6 always stops importing the files from my D800 via USB 3.0 after exactly 6 jpg files are transfered. In mixed nef+jpg as well as in jpg only mode.
No matter if CF only or SD only or both cards are used.
No problem with .nef only.
To change the target directory to another SSD or HD makes no difference.
But at the same USB 3.0 ports (I tried them all), no problem whatsoever to do the transfer via Windows Explorer.
System is a brand new W7Ultimate64 on an IvyBridge Z77 platform.
Thanks for any helfpul suggestion,
/Rikkou,
there is no problem, except the slooooow speed, with Bridge CS6, if the D800 is connected via any USB 2.0 port.

Rikkou:
I have just finished a shoot of around 200 images using my D800. I normally shoot RAW only, but the client wanted some images immediately so I shot NEF, jpg and RAW+jpg. Normally I just use a card reader, but this morning hooked up my D800 to a USB 3 port, fired up Bridge and imported directly from the camera. All the images came across just fine; and have to say very impressed with the transfer speed. The USB 3 directly from the camera is faster than my old USB 2 card reader. So time to upgrade my card reader I have limited desk space so a card reader is better than having the camera on my desk.
My system is virtually a brand new i7 ASUS CM6870. One of the first things I did was to check with the vendor for Bios updates, and lo and behold there were quite a few, including chip set updates. Might be a good idea to see if there are any bios uodates for your system
Obviously you are seeing a problem, but given it works fine for me - not much comfort for you, but apart from checking for any USB/Chipset updates cannot think of anything else. There was a problem a while back, which I think was resolved, and that was imports would not work if there were video files in the import stream, but as I said that was resolved.
Cheers
Mike

When you try to open in PS what happens?
In Bridge do you see icons or thumbnails?

I had an issue running Bridge CS6 on my laptop yesterday and after failing to troubleshoot I un-installed it from my system but have yet to find any way to download/reinstall it. I have web design premium and tried uninstalling/reinstalling photoshop and illutsrator as I'd seen bridge was coupled with those but had no luck. Is it possible to download bridge as a stand alone with a web design premium license for cs6

restart your design premium installation, select custom install and you should see options to pick which programs you want to install.
tick bridge and install

Bridge cs4 can not open raw and jpg directly by itself

i never did it! i want to open raw and jpg files by camera raw directly with open photoshop. i have made the choose to open by double click in the preference but still can not do.
my brother's computer can open both of them and we are similar xp system.
and i have checked and reinstalled many times and still failed.

A bit of magic (if I'd remember):
1. open PS, from here File > Browse in Bridge
2. open any RAW/DNG - it goes to PS
3. switch to Bridge window (PS still open)
4. R-click, select "open in Camera RAW"
5. Close all
Now opening in Bridge should work :)

Bridge CS6 - extremely slow preview updates and image deleting

1. Updating previews (100%) is very slow.
Bridge CS6 has problems updating the previews of images that get edited.
While creating preview from scratch is rather swift, updating previews takes about six minutes on a MacBook Pro retina with 16Gb RAM.
After one minute the preview gets updated, but then the busy signal in the low left corner just keeps turning and turning for five more minutes.
Why is this happening? Is Bridge still busy with those previews? Why? The preview has already been updated, why those extra five minutes of business?
2. Image deleting is painfully slow.
You type Command + Delete, and nothing is happening for five, six seconds.
Only then the images get deleted.
Has anybody else noticed these two hold-ups?
Edit:
I just went back after writing and editing this post, and Bridge is still busy with the preview update. This is now 15 minutes after the image had been edited. The busy signal in the lower left corner just never turns off again.
It feels like Bridge has also problems working in the background. As soon as you open e.g. a browser to bridge the waiting for bridge, Bridge seems to keep the busy signal rotating, but not actually doing anything until you close the browser again. Which is why I just had a 15 minute wait for an image preview to finally update. The time spent in the browser did not "count".

Hi Noel,
Yes, I did the upgrade, and I did not experience any problems.
Only, the issues above were not fixed in the update.
Are you not experiencing the same issues? (I'm on a Mac).
C. Pfaffenbichler, I was actually looking for a dedicated Bridge forum, but I couldn't see a Bridge icon.

Bridge CS6 and Action Essentials 2 Video Problem

Hello,
I am viewing the previews of Action Essentials 2 from Video Copilot and the resolution seems very degraded, tons of artifacts also. This never happened before, and these are just pre-keyed clips for special effects, .mov files.
I have included a jpg of viewing the same clip in preview window of Bridge CS6 5.0.1.23, and in Quicktime 7.73. You can see in the image there is a huge difference. It renders fine in After Effects CS6, Premiere, and Photoshop.
I have purged the cache, restarted, checked for updates, etc.
I have updated nvidia drivers 306.97 and a 480 gtx EVGA vid card. Windows 7 64bit SP1, and i7-920.
This seems to have happened recently, as it used to preview in high quality. I checked video I did on my Nikon D800 and it appears to be fine, and uses a .MOV extension.
Please any advice would be helpful.

I am pretty sure the CODECS are installed on my pc, since I can view the clip in quicktime. But I'll give it a shot.
Update: I used G-spot and the codec on these videos appears to be png. The fact it says codec status undetermined is strange, but I also checked files from my camera and files I rendered out using media encoder and these all say the same thing, but work with no problems.
<--this is the .H264 file i exported using media encoder. Next is video clip G-spot info is straight from my Nikon D800.

Bridge CS6- Thumbnails gone and metadata too!

Hi everyone.
I am in panic mode.
I am running Bridge CS6 (5.0.2.4) And PS CS6. I recently updated something Can't remember if it was DNG and/or Camera Raw.
My problem started today when i went to view a folder of DNG images in Bridge. Initially the thumbnails of the images showed up, but then one by one, the thumbnails turned into the Adobe DNG icon. This is happening with tiff files too.
I went to Tools>Cache>Purge Cahe for Folder... That did not help. I simply can not re-generate the thumbnails.
I've also noticed that when I click on almost any image, my metadata does not show up in the Meta Data Panel in Bridge.
Another odd thing is all my images are keyworded. I used to be able to click on an image, and see in the Keyword Panel the keywords I chose for that image. That is no longer the case, however when I open that image in Photoshop CS6 and get file info, I see that my keywords and Metadata is there!
And the very last weird thing: If I go to the Bridge menu>Camera raw preferences, nothing happens. I used to be able to set my TIFF and JPEG handling options there.
This happened as I was finishing archiving about 20,000 images so you'll understand that I am a little bit more than upset....
Your help would be most appreciated.
Jonathan

After reading a few things online I decided to try re-installing the DNG/CR Update 8.4.0. That did not help.
I then decided to delete the ACR cache files, the Adobe Bridge 256, 1024, and Full cache folders, since there were tens of thousands of them.
I realize that Bridge might have to rebuild and it would take a while, but was wondering if something got corrupted there.
(I hope this wasn't a mistake).
I relaunched bridge, and as expected, none of my images have thumbnails, but I also see no way to re-generate those!
BTW- All this has happened with my back-up of this archive on a seperate HD.
I am unable to get the CR preference window to show in Bridge but I am able to acces the prefs from within PS CS6!
Going crazy!

Bridge CS6 overwrites EXIF data and changes image orientation.

Hi,
I seem to be having issue with Bridge CS6 overwriting or corrupting my image EXIF data.
The situation is this, while in Bridge CS6, I open a folder with some images in it. There I select one image. Right-click on it and select File Info. In the XMP dialogue box I fill in the fields I need and save this file as a template. Then, I select the rest of the images, go to Tools and choose Replace Metadata. In the fly-out, select and click the template I've just created and this is where I have the issue. All the updated images now have the the same date and time. I NEVER had this happen in Bridge CS5. In Bridge CS5, while all the IPTC data was overwritten, the EXIF data was left alone. This does not seem to be the case in Bridge CS6 where both the IPTC and EXIF data now seem to be overwritten. If this is the case, need to ask why?
Hope someone here can confirm and comment on this. Cheers.

Then, I select the rest of the images, go to Tools and choose Replace Metadata.
You have to choose 'Append Metadata' this adds the template to the already existing data instead of overwriting the already existing data.
And without knowing your needs or workflow, why don't you create a template (or some extra if you have specific difference you often use) with the most common and always used info (copyright etc) and add this to al your files.
Then when in Bridge choose the metadata panel with IPTC core section in view.
Select the files you want to alter and in the Metadata click on a field with the pencil icon (means you can add info to it) and fill in the fields you need the info in. If keywords needed switch to the keyword panel to add the wanted keywords to the selected files.
Just another approach that might be more suitable and faster.

Problem with Bridge CS4 reading/editing XMP metadata added in Bridge CS6

Please excuse me if this is a dumb/obvious question. I did try searching the forums for similar problems and didn't find anything that seemed to speak to my issue.
I'm having a problem where Bridge CS4 won't read/edit xmp metadata (specifically, keywords and descriptions in the IPTC panel) that I have entered using CS6. it will read some files, not others. The files are all .mp4s. Of these files, I can read/edit IPTC panel metadata for some of them in Bridge CS4; I can add metadata for all of them in CS6. I see no particular pattern in these files to explain what is and isn't read/editable in CS4.
My question is whether this is a compatibility issue between different versions of CS (in this instance, CS4 and CS6). i know it's a tired refrain to blame software when it could easily be user error, in which case I'd be frankly delighted to know what i'm doing wrong. Please bear with me as I give a few more details.
I'm using macs. I've tried this on multiple systems - for instance, on a mac pro 3 which for some reason has both CS4 and CS6 installed, i can add and edit keywords using CS6, but not when using CS4. Again, in CS4, some .mp4 files read/edit, others do not.
Bridge CS4 blames the files and tells me that the selected file cannot store xmp metadata, and that the properties cannot be modified. To be specific, in the metadata panel it says "this property cannot be modified"; in the keyword panel, it says, "This file (zzz.mp4) cannot store xmp metadata. No changes will occur." This seems odd, because I'm able to add xmp metadata for the same files in CS6 on the same computer, and other computers. I know this problem would disappear if all our computers were using CS6 (or CC), but unfortunately that's not a possibility at the moment. Some of them only have CS4.
Computer details (not an exhaustive list, but two instances): mac pro 3.1 running snow leopard, 16GB memory; macbook pro 4.1 running snow leopard, 4GB memory; adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Things I have tried:
Permissions - the files are set to read/write for everyone. Given that I can add/edit metadata in CS6, it doesn't seem to be a permission issue.
Purging the cache - other users seem to have had problems adding metadata in Bridge CS4 where purging the cache for affected files solved the problem. Didn't work in this instance.
Upgrading all affected computers to CS6/CC is beyond my control. I need to figure out why CS4 won't let me read/add/edit xmp metadata, if only for the sake of understanding the broader implications for interoperability.
Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Without having experience with mp4 files and metadata my observation is that you certainly have not updated Bridge CS6 ( should be 5.0.2.4) and I believe also not the latest version of CS4, can't imaging this also stayed at .0.0 so first try to update both.
And if CS4 can read the data of some files it should be capable of reading them all. Be sure to have the files completely cached first, can take a while.
Other things to try in CS4 is refresh preferences (hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs).
And also check for hidden cache files using menu view/show hidden files. Sometimes those cache files can be troublesome between versions.
If purge cache did not work and reset prefs also failed consider to also delete Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manual (from user library)

Bridge CS6 workspaces suddenly greyed; content panel is only active item

I am running CS6 and OS X 10.8.5. Everything was fine, and today suddenly Bridge has stopped working properly. Under the Window menu, workspaces are greyed. Under the View menu, As thumbnails, As details, As list are greyed/disabled.
Bridge appears to be locked into the Light Box workspace, except that there is no preview panel. The only panel available is the Content panel; when I select one or more files, there is/are no previews.
This is what the window looks like.
So far, these are the things I have tried, to no avail:
I have restarted the computer, restarted Bridge, I have purged the cache, disabled startup scripts.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

First try to delete the Bridge plist file from the user library.
Quit Bridge and go to the user library (by default hidden per OSX10.7, use menu Go with option to reveal).
User (your user name) / library/ Preferences / inhere find and manual delete the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist".
Again hold down option key while restart and again reset prefs.
If this is not working I'm afraid you have to reinstall Bridge CS6. First be sure you have backed up your keyword list if you have one and also look in the aforementioned user library but now Application Support / Adobe/ Bridge CS6. Copy this folder and content to a back up place for security. Inhere all are sort of custom settings including your custom workspaces, so if needed you can copy some of these setting back to the same folders and location of your new install.
Repeat this also for Photoshop (both same library / app support and preferences) for back up security of your custom settings because Bridge is part of PS install in CS6.
Be sure to have your install disk or image file for PSCS6 at hand including the serial number. Use the official uninstaller and once you are doing so also try the Adobe Cleaner Tool :
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html (read the instructions carefully before acting).
Run Apple disk utility to check and repair permissions and then reinstall PSCS6 that also installs Bridge CS6. Run the updaters and try again.
And a final thought, before doing the above create a new user account for testing and see if this helps. Sometimes User Accounts get corrupted and Bridge is very sensitive for that. MacOsX recovery disk can help to recreate the problem user account.

Bridge CS6 seach function is not working.

Hey
We have 2 mac osX lion machines with Adobe CS6 Design Standard installed. Each machine is connected to the same windows server.
Before we installed CS6 we were running CS5 and in CS5 the search function worked perfectly.
Can anyone helped me with this issue.
Thanks

No experience with network nor Windows but Bridge CS6 changed to 64 bit and also changed its database from MySQL to SQLite (and I don't know anything about this technical stuff myself I'm afraid).
Did you already used the advanced Find option in the edit menu (cmd + F) and inhere selected the parent folder on your source and included both options to include all subfolders and non-indexed files?
This first time may take long but after finished indexing it should work faster.

Bridge (cs6) on mac computer

Im running Bridge (cs6) on my mac computer and have been doing this for long time. Since last week Bridge is coming up with a message: "Bridge encountered a problem. Try to empty cache." After doing the application crashes. If I dont try to empty cache, application crashes anyway.

To recap ... Bridge opens OK ... but when you select a file or image ... it starts 'Building Criteria" and then CRASHES.
Quit Bridge and find your user library (by default hidden per OSX 10.7, for quick reveal use menu Go and press option, this brings the user library in view)
follow this path: user(your username) / library / preferences and inhere find and delete the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist". Then in same library go to the folder Caches / Adobe / Bridge CS6 and inhere delete both the plugin and the folder called cache.
All files will refresh itself with new and empty ones as per first install. Now again hold down option while restart Bridge and again choose reset preferences.
This provides you wit a new Bridge that needs to recache the files again so this will takes a bit of time and also your custom wishes for the preferences should be set again.
Also consider using the Apple Disk utility or a maintenance application like Cocktail and choose check and repair permissions.
Then consider the upgrade to the last week released 10.8.3 using the combo update that you can find under support on the apple website instead of using the app store to upgrade to 10.8.3.

I am trying to uninstall Bridge CS6, but there is no uninstaller. Running OSX Mavericks.

I have Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 installed on my MacbookPro, and would like to remove Bridge CS6. I have followed the uninstall instructions for the other CS6 Suite of products I had, but I am unable to find a Bridge CS6 uninstaller. How do I remove Bridge CS6?
Cheers
Kingsley

Ahhhh, Thank you Ashutosh.Nigam I did wonder if that was the case.
Thanks
