    When I start the program I instantly see this message:  "Adobe Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache, please try purging the central cache in cache preferences to correct the situation".  I have tried this and it only results in a stalled/locked program.  I have tried restarting my machine multiple times and tried reconfiguring how the cache is managed.  Do you have anyone who could walk me through each step to correct this problem which just started two days ago.  I have owned this program for at least a year now...

    When opening Bridge (CS6) I get the following message: "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation" I tried and after selecting purge cache it does not allow me to select OK. Also Bridge keeps saying "Building Criteria" with the spinning wheel and nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Please help:)

    Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.  
    In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:  
      Reset Preferences 
    Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
    Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
    Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
    Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.

    I have master suite cs6. on mac osx. bridge has been quitting unexpectedly. Also, getting message at start up that states that "bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation" I have purged the cache several times and adjusted settings with no change. I also downloaded the entire suite and installed. Do I need to uninstall all of the programs before installing the suite? There is not an option to install only Bridge from the install package.

  • Dialog box says-"Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. ... purge central cache" For one, I can't find the central cache and two, I've purged the cache in bridge. Shouldn't that help.

    Our Bridge has been acting very strange. It keeps giving a dialog box of "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. ... purge central cache" For one, I can't find the central cache and two, I've purged the cache in bridge. Shouldn't that help? There's just all kinds of weird stuff going on. I suppose it does have something to do with the central cache, so maybe someone can tell me where to find it.
    When I use the burn/dodge tool sometimes it drags and staggers and takes forever to complete whatever I'm burning/dodging. When I try to delete an image from the dock, it won't disappear but it won't display either.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The Central Cache is the Bridge Cache.
    It's referred as the Central Cache to differentiate it from the individual folder's cache or even the individual image cache.

    Sounds kind of stupid, but check to make sure that your iphone case cover is not blocking the edge of the camera lens.  I had a silicone case on my 3S and when it got older, it started tot slip and the edges of my pictures were blurred.

    Has anyone run into the problem of downloading or opening an E.pdf file? I am running on 10.6.8 and am unable to open the file. Any suggestions?

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Cannot open CS6 Bridge.  Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache

    Cannot open CS6 Bridge.  Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache

    Try this.  This is for CS6 but substitue CC and Bridge 6.
    ~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.

    Before you perform a reactive debug, I suggest you practice on a non production script.
    The first thing you will need to do is, open the CRS Script Editor and log in.  You cannot Reactive Debug if you're not logged in and connected to the UCCX server.
    Next, press CRTL+Shift+R to open the reactive debug dialog.
    Select the script name from the list for the script you are troublehsooting.
    Select how long you want the system to wait for the next call before cancelling the debugger.
    Press OK
    Place a call into the script.
    At this point a script window should open and the Start step should be highlighted in red.
    Press F10 to step through the script, step by step, analyzing what's happening.
