Bridge doesn't even open - partial uninstall?

I purchased CS6 and installed it - I think everything worked fine when installed.  A couple of months later, my bridge program just stopped working - on the windows 7 pro desktop and almost immediately on the win 8 laptop.  And of course, if Bridge doesn't work, neither does mini-bridge.
Today is the day to fix all the stupid techie issues... Is there a way to fix Bridge without uninstalling the entire package on both computers?  I'm not familiar with an overall program management screen that would let me select what to uninstall and/or repair.
Thanks!

No, Bridge requires the main program to be installed and it will just tag along. Run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and simply reinstall PS, then be careful to not apply the latest update again that introduced this issue.

  • My iPhoto doesn't even open! i get same message saying it's unreadable! anybody else have this problem!?

    my iPhoto doesn't even open! i get same message saying it's unreadable! anybody else have this problem!?

    First try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is the culprit.
    If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Maps software doesn't even open

    hi i don t understand i managed to open the map software a couple of times but could never download new maps.But now i can't even open it .Any ideas ??
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you're opening maps not car maps then just wait for 5min. It just might open and work fine. After I downloaded whole World maps I've had this problem that it takes around 5min to start. It's either maps or booster-e process that takes 100% cpu load and delays the starting. Car nav works just fine.

  • Bridge isn't even open FFS...

    I'm trying to uninstall all my Adobe products because they're all trials and I want to just buy them later on but every time I try to uninstall anything it says that Bridge.exe is open and it isn't. Can anyone provide any help for me on this, I'm getting really wound up with this.

    Hi,
    If you are running Windows, it is possible that the bridge process is running in the background.
    Follow these instructions to close it:
    1. Right click on the taskbar and click on start task manager.
    2. Click on the processes tab.
    3.Click on "Show processed from all users" which is at the bottom.
    4. Go through the list of processes shown here and look for bridge.exe.
    5.Select bridge.exe and click on end process.
    6.Confirm to terminate the process.
    Uninstallation must continue normally after this.
    Thanks

  • Iweb began crashing after I was editing the blog page, I think it was somehow overloaded, and now iweb doesn't even open.

    I kept turning the computer off and on and it doesnt open still, only the inspector tablet. what do i do!!!

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    Lastly, close iWeb and open iPhoto.  Select a couple of photos and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo Page menu option.  Give it a couple of tries if the first one doesn't help.

  • ICal doesn't even open up

    Hi,
    I just got an iBook G3. Sadly, right from the start, I'm experiencing problems. When I try to open iCal, the icon in the dock bounces up and down for a minute or so, and then either I have to force quit it, or either it just stops bouncing and nothing comes up. The same is happening for iChat too. I've never even seen these apps work for once since yesterday.
    Any ideas as to what could the problem and the solutions be?
    Thanks

    yeah u know what?.. im having a very similar problem. very frustrating. i try to open up iCal and then the icon shows up in the tool bar and then disappears shortly there after. please help us!.. thanx

  • HT1473 I got my MAC PRO installed with iOS lion and since then i'm unable to add music on my iTunes and i tried adding to library option but still it copies and at the end it stays empty, doesn't even open new songs on it. any suggestions ?

    hey,
    I've rebooted my mac before installing new ios lion, so after everything was done i copied my data back to my mac book pro, then simple clicked on adding to library option in itune and it only synced half of the track and rest simply didnt copy, i thought maybe some error occured and i tryed the same procedure again but its not adding more tracks in it. and i just notice when ever i try play a new song through my data it does not open in itune these are the same tracks and songs i been listening to since ages on different note books and pods..
    Help me i've tryed everything but nathing seems to be working. and my itune is uptodated =S

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • I installed this new Firefox 4 on my Windows 7 64-bit OS and now it doesn't even open.

    This web browser has turned out to be the worst thing I've ever had to deal with on my computer. I upgraded my Firefox 3.6.2 which was amazing and my go-to web browser. Now after many re-installs I still can't get this new thing to open. I'm going to lose it soon. Good thing I saved my bookmarks before. When I click the .exe file, it shows in my task manager that it is running but no windows appear. I've restarted my machine and tried everything possible to get it to work. NOTHING.

    Thanks for the info airmanjack.
    My firefox wasn't opening (windows 7 64bit), but was running in task manager, and was also using 50+% of my processor.
    I'll try your trick tonight.
    Firefox does open on my work computer, but I have problems with it crashing multiple times per day. Is there anywhere I can download the last version of Firefox 3?

  • IWeb doesn't even open!

    I can't get iWeb to open. Every time I try, I get "The application iWeb quit unexpectedly" box.
    What can I do?
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    The domain file is a bundle, if you get info about it you can open it and you will see everything that makes up your website. If this or something in it becomes corrupt you may have problems opening iweb.
    However I suspect that if you have never opened iweb and hence not created a website that you you may not actually have a domain file. Obviously if you have, you will and this could be (and apparantly has been) the source of some peoples problems.
    I was merely trying to establish if those that had never succesfully opened iweb had a domain file, so we could eliminate this as a fix for those people.
    Slightly off topic but it seems like a good idea to regularly back up the domain file so if problems occur, one can go back to yesterdays or last weeks version to save losing everything you have ever done.

  • Irony: Bridge doesn't know what to do with .pictclipping file (Mac)

    Bridge 5.0.2.4 running under Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 does not know to which application to hand a ".pictclipping" file.
    This type of file normally opens in the Finder, without launching any other application or utility of any kind.
    However, Bridge doesn't even show a preview in The Content panel or in the Preview panel either.  Double clicking on such a file within Bridge's Content panel results in Bridge launching and/or bringing to the front the TextEdit application showing a totally empty window showing the actual name of the file in its title bar but a completely blank window.
    Needless to say, it's not possible to establish a file association between this kind of file and the Finder from within Bridge.
    Just another example of the lack of attention and resources Adobe has shown toward its stepchild application, Bridge. 
    Adobe Photoshop 13.0.5 does not open such files through its Open menu item dialog either, even though it correctly detects them as a .PICT files.

    The only way to see an image contained within a PictClipping in OSX 10.8.4 is in Apple's own Finder App. and it appears that you can't do anything with it once you have "found" it?!  …
    That's exactly as it is meant to be, Ann.  An image that is lightning fast to create, lightning fast to view and utterly impossible to alter, manipulate or edit! 
      You can, however, copy its contents to your Clipboard after Command+A.
    CameraAnn wrote:
    Clicking on it, only opens it in an empty RTF window.
    Double clicking on it in all Mac OS versions I know, from Mac OS 9.x and earlier up to and including Lion 10.7.5, immediately shows the image in the Finder itself in a stretchable, floating, Finder window.
    Have no knowledge of Mountain Lion (which won't run on my Mac Pro1,1 Quad) but what you describe above is exactly what happens when you double click the image in Bridge's Content panel, and that's just plain wrong behavior.  The blank window is not a Finder window in that case, but a TextEdit window.
    CameraAnn wrote:
    Images from other than MS Office progams can be drag-copied to the Desktop as JPEGs and MS Office images can always be Copied/Saved As to the location and format of your choice.
    So I am not sure why anyone would need to make an Image PictClipping anyway?
    Oh, I make pictClippings and textClippings all the time, every single day!
    For example, I have a large collection of both pictClippings and textClippings containg killer tips by Photoshop luminaries like Bruce Fraser, Ann Shelbourne and Andrew Rodney, that I've created over the years—in a nanosecond each time—by simply highlighting portions of their Adobe forum posts and dragging the selection to the Desktop:  instant, permanent reminders!
    No application needed to open them or to copy their contents.
    Another helpful use is to select text from emails giving me the registration or serial number of applications or plug-ins I buy online then save the clipping in a Reg_SerialNumbers folder for later.

    Sure, but that's just the unacceptable, unnecessary tease I'm complaining about.  
    CameraAnn wrote:
     …Double-Clicking on one will immediately open a small Finder .app window floating over the Bridge CC window…  
    You're wrong there, Ann; it's not a Finder window but a TextEdit window.  Just look at your menu bar next time you invoke such a tease from within Bridge: the focus will have shifted to the TextEdit application.  That's why the window will show text but not images. 
    Clippings are one of the GREAT features of the Mac OS that are missing in Windows, and one very important factor that attracted me to the Mac almost thirty years ago. 
    I am very, very surprised that you haven't discovered its usefulness after all these years, as you are one of the savviest Mac user experts I've ever run across.

    HI Juanverano,
    Not a problem, Safe Mode will disable addons and hardware acceleration. If this continues and it is not an add on this will be the next step to try to disable acceleration:
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
    #* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
    #* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    #In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Bridge CS6 bug (?) opening Hasselblad RAW files

    Summary:
    Some of my Hasselblad RAW files cause an error message when opening in Bridge or PS. Further when using Bridge, more and more of these files get corrupted. I can use Nikon RAWs without problem so it does not seem to be my system or setup. I only happens with the Hasselblad RAWs. I can use Hasselblad files using the original Hasselblad software without problems so it can not be my Hasselblad camera setup which I am using for years now. Further, I can still open these CS corrupted files with the hasselblad software. When I only work with the Hasselblad software there is absolutely NO problem for years now. I only have this issue when I switch to Bridge CS6.
    Details:
    I have a set of Hasselblad FFF RAW files that I can use and open without problems in Bridge CS6 (5.0.0.399 x64). But one file of them did not show a preview icon and when I tried to open it in PS6 or RAW editor, I get an errormessage "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.". When I open the same file in Hasselblad "Phocus" software there is no problem. I can see the preview thumb there and I can play around with the file and even export to TIF or DNG without any trouble. I can even open the exported DNG in PS or Bridge/RAW editor then. But it is impossible to work with the RAW file in Bridge.
    Yes, it looks like the file is corrupted. But why can I open the same file with the Hasselblad software? I work with the Hasselblad software for years now and NEVER had any issues.
    Now I started working with the uncorrupted files in CS6 (playing with the RAW settings, open in PS, etc.). After some days I get more and more "corrupted" files. Even files that showed a thumb before are no longer showing the icon and are unable to open. So the same files that where ok at first now are corrupted! This only happens with Hasselblad files. I have absolutely no issue with Nikon RAWs, which I also use a lot. So the problem can not be caused by my computer or my system.
    No there is no issue with my Hasselblad setup because I use this for years now and it workes absolutely flawless with the Hasselblad RAW software. the problems arised when I started using Bridge CS6. When I turn back to the Hasselblad Phocus software all these corrupted files are able to open! All files are 100% ok there! It shows all the thumbs and I can export these files to TIF and DNG without any trouble. Back in Bridge I can even open the DNG files then but not the original RAW files.
    Please don't tell me my files are corrupted or I need to change my way of file transfer. This is definately not the case because everything works fine when I work the way I did for years. The problems started when I switched to CS6.

    The older FFF format is not completely supported in ACR.  I suggest using Phocus to read the FFF files and save/export as DNG, which can then be read in ACR.
