Bridge for CS3 very unstable

This software is garbage. It crashes frequently, the files take an eternity to load, the RAW thumbnails don't display adjustments, etc. etc. I'm EXTREMELY angry at Adobe for foisting this trash on loyal customers. Is Bridge for CS4 better? I really don't want to spend another $200 for another turkey.

>I'm going to have to upgrade to get a functioning version of Bridge.
No, that is not true, however you will benefit from CS4 in PS as well in Bridge :-)
From start off:
Do system maintenance with at least checking permissions using Apple's Disk Utility.
Bridge should be installed (version 2.1.1.9) at the root level application folder,
Quit Bridge and in user library go to the preferences folder, inhere find and delete the plist folder for Bridge2 to the trash. In the same library go to caches / adobe / Bridge CS3 and inhere delete the cache folder also manually to the tras.
restart Bridge holding down option key and choose delete preferences in the menu that appears. After Bridge has restarted reset the preferences for Bridge to your wishes (preferable High Quality thumbs).
Go to the folder with your files and let Bridge cache it first. This takes some time depending on amount and size of files.
Try again and even with 2GB RAM you should have a working application. If not something is wrong with either your install or your user account.

Flash CS4 10.0 for Mac very unstable. Just me?

I've been using Flash CS4 10.0 for a few weeks now and this thing crashes on me about a half a dozen times a day. Am I the only one?
Thanks!
Scot

Reviving this post/thread.
Already have the aforementioned 10.0.2 (courtesy of this thread about a month ago) and yes, it's a bit unstable (still).
Symptoms:
"TEST MOVIE" doesn't seem to "compile correctly"If you do a test movie, the first time you run it, the movie will not run correctly - usually if you make as3 code changes. You may start pulling your hair out and changning more code - without really needing to.
If you stop/close the movie and just do another TEST MOVIE (aka "recompile" again), it will run as you had expected it to.
I've never needed to do this more than twice, so fair warning to others - don't immediately start cannibilizing your code, just do this twice and only start screaming after a 2nd "test movie" does the same thing (meaning yeah, you hosed something in code).
Unsure if this is a Mac or Flash thing - but there are certain instances when saving your work takes longer. Sorry, I'm coming from the PC world here, so that "spinning wheel" (akin to the spinning hour glass on PCs) appears. If this were a large project (in the Flash sense), then I'd expect it to do the same thing each time - it doesn't.
As much as this started off as being a "huh, I thought mysterious hangs only happened on PCs moment?", it finally culminated in a PC like crash of Flash CS4 Pro last night. I did expect some data loss - changes made after last save, but it seemed to revert to a couple of "versions back" - if that makes sense.
So it sounds like a file managment issue (versioning?) - actually both issues above somewhat point to something in this area...
Anyway, just posting this to say, nope, you're not alone in noticing instability of Flash CS4 on a Mac (pro workstation, Intel, Leopard)

Bridge for mac - Very slow connect after installing sd card

Hey guys,
after I installed a 32gb SD card, the connection-procedure is really slow. The green bar fills in not 10sec but in 2 minutes now. What happened? Really the SD card? What can I do?
Thanks!

Hey guys,
I had to move the XperiaTransfer-Folder to my SD-card. Now, after I moved it, the date of 70% of the photos is the current date and nearly 900 images are dated for today. It's quite hard to navigate through the images now. How does the Sony Gallery app gather information? What can I do to fix it?
Thanks

Bridge CS5 Very Unstable when Previewing SWF files - fixes pending?

Bridge CS5 is very unstable when an SWF file is playing back in the Preview panel.
I only have to switch to another window, and Bridge bombs out.
Is this a known issue? Is a fix pending?
Thanks

I'm on XP Pro SP3.

That's a very "Curt" response!
The graphics driver is the latest available for my graphics card - a NVidia Go 7900GS.

Bridge CS4 with very large image archves

I have just catalogued 420,000 images from 3TB of my photographic collection. For those interested, the master cache files became quite large and took about 9 days of continuous processing:
cache size: 140 gb
file count: 991,000
folder count: 3000
All cache files were also exported to the disk directories.
My primary intent was to use the exported cache files as a "quick" browsing mechanism with bridge. Of course, "quick" is a rather optimistic word, however is is very significantly faster than having bridge rebuild caches as needed.
I am now trying to decide if it is worth keeping the master bridge cache because of the limitations of the bridge implementation which is not very flexible as to where and when the master cache adds new temporary cache entries.
Any suggestions as to the value of keeping the master cache would be appreciated. I don't really need key word or other rating systems since I presently use a simple external data base for this type for image location.
I am also interested in knowing if the "500,000" entry cache limitation is real - or if more than 500,000 images can be stored in the master cache since I will be exceeding this image count next year.

I have a bridge 5 cache system with 600,000 images over 8 TB of networded disk. I too use this to "speed up" the browsing process and rely primarily on key word processing to group images. The metadata indexing is, for practical purposes, totally useless (it never ceases to amaze me about why Adobe things it useful for me to know how many images were taken with a lens focal length of 73mm - or some other equally useless statistic). The only thing I can think of that is are serious missing keyword indexing feature is the ability to have a key word associated with a directory. For example, I have shot many dozens of dance, theatre, music and sports productions - it would be much more useful to cataloge a directory that has the key words "Theatre" and "Romeo and Juliette" than attempt to key-word each individual image. It is, of course, possible to work around the restrictions but that is very unclean and certainly less than desireable. Key-wording a project (i.e. a directory) is a totally different kettle of fish than key-wording an image. I also find the concept of the "collection" is very useful and well implemented.
I do maintain a complete cache build of my system. It is spread over two master caches, one for the first 400,000 images and a second for the next 400,000 (I want to stay within the 500,000 cache size limit - it is probabley associated with the MYSQL component of Bridge and I think may have problems if you exceed the limit by a substantial amount. With Bridge on CS3, when the limit was exceeded , the cache system self-distructed and I had to rebuild).
The only thing I can think of (and that seems to be part of Adobe's design) is that Bridge will rebuild the master cache for a working directory "for no apparent reason" such as when certain (unknown) changes are made to ACR, Other automatic rebuilds have been reported by others however Adobe does not comment upon when or what casuses a rebuild. Of course, this has serious impact upon getting work done - it is a bloody pain to have bridge suddenly process 1500 thumbs and preview extracts simply to keep the master cache completely and perfectly synchronized (in terms of image quality) with what might be displayed if you happen if you want to load a raw image into photoshop. This strategy is IMHO completely out of step with how (at least I) use the browsing features of bridge.
It may be of concern that Adobe may, for design reasons, change the format of the directory cache files and you will have to completely rebuild all master and directory caches yet again - which is a real problem if you have many hundreds of thousands of images. This happened when the cache system changed from CS3 to CS4 - and Adobe did not provide conversion programme to migrate the old to new format. This significantly adds to the rebuild time since each raw image must be completely reprocessed. My current rebuild of the master cache has taken over two elapsed weeks of contunuous running.
It would be nice if Adobe would allow some control over what is recorded in the master cache - for example, "do you wish meta data to be indexed".
(( as an aside, adobe does not comment upon why, when using Bridge to import images from a CF card, results in the building a .xmp file with nothing but meta data for each raw file. I am at a loss to speculate what really useful thing results other than maybe speeding up the processing of the (IMHO useless) aspects of meta data ))
To answer your quiestion, I do think the master cache is worth keeping - and we can pray that Adobe puts more though process into why the master cache exists and who uses the present type of information indexed within the cache.

My iPad 1 is now very unstable. Apps crash consistently, Mac Numbers/Pages etc incompatible with IOS 5.1 etc. There seems to be no backwards compatibility to iPad 1. Am I just supposed to throw it away? I have restored the iPOad and it has ample storage .

My iPad 1 is very unstable. Many Apps simply crash after opening. There is ample storage available.I have restored the iPad twice now and still it is unstable.
Is this a lack of backwards compatibility because no-one writes apps for IOS 51.1. and the original iPad anymore? not even Apple, as the documents and sheets I create on my Mac are incompatible with my iPad now.
My naievete tells me that this is simply Apple expecting us to upgrade to later levels of hardware. If so, very disappointing for an Apple fan. Seems your App developer approvals (even your own apps) do no require compatibility with anything but IOS 6 or later.

There are various things to make your iPad more stable. You can try deleting all apps from the multitasking bar; do a reset ie hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears; Settings > General > Reset all Settings.
If you had the previous version of iPages (version 09) on your Mac before upgrading to Pages 5.2, your Mac should still have that version in Applications, which is still compatible with your version of Pages on your iPad.
If you don't have that version, you can 'Export to Pages 09' which is still compatible with iOS 5.1.1.

End of Upgrade Cycle for CS3 and CS4... Really Adobe?

As if business wasn't bad enough now I see there will be no upgrade paths past december for CS3 and 4 users. Is this how Adobe plans to keep users away from stopping their upgrades and reducing the number of machines they run Adobe products on? I understand Adobe is not a non-profit and has has to turn a revenue, but the geniuses at Marketing here have made a huge mistake by basically telling their customers that what they have so far will be worth zilch in comes 2013. That arbitrary deadline, is not consider some people who on the east coast are now cash strapped as anyone having to choose between home repairs and other such marvelous stuff and upgrading to CS6 guess what they'll choose. And for the lucky ones not heavily affected by the storms, they will donate to help their community before they will spend money to upgrade perfectly good software.
It wasn't enough that the upgrade path wasn't much of a discount, but in the current economy every penny counts! The choice of stopping support for CS3 and CS4 in my personal opinion an ill-advised move. I personally went from 3 to 4 within a short amount of time... then when 5 came out my budget didn't allow so I needed to wait. The new CS6 isn't direly needed so I decided I'd have to loose some additional "upgrade power" because money need to be directed elsewhere now... but the news that I'd loose all the upgrade power and would have kept on upgrading for nothing it's just ridiculous... and if that's the treatment a customer will have to expect from now on I think I'll use what I have and move to alternatives stopping to personally support Adobe products an rely on licensed copies at work instead. Perhaps Adobe hasn't notices we aren't exactly doing that great in US between the current economical situation, the various setbacks experienced across the country and for the fact that in this particular business most work is often being outsourced out of US these days... I am sure you will have a huge market on the countries where the outsourced work is being sent... as far as I am concerned comes 12/31/2013 I will no longer be an Adobe customer as Adobe is forcing me out of the upgrade cycle and I won't plan to re-enter anytime soon in the coming future... lesson learnt.
Thank you for your time (if any of the marketing gurus will have cared to read this far without laughing and discounting with a "screw those old customers, they should've upgraded earlier" which was basically the content of the email I got this week... pasted below)
Cheers,
tfbkny
Content of email received from Adobe saying last chance to upgrade now or what you got will be worthless in less than a couple months.
Dear Creative Suite customer:
We want to make sure you're aware of an important change to Adobe's upgrade policy that may affect you.
Beginning January 1, 2013, only Creative Suite customers with licenses for CS5 or CS5.5 versions will qualify for upgrade pricing to CS6.
Due to this change, we will only continue offering CS3 and CS4 customers like you special upgrade pricing through December 31, 2012.*
* Owners of CS3 and CS4 individual products and suite editions will be eligible to receive upgrade pricing to CS6 until December 31, 2012. After that date, only customers on CS5 or CS5.5 will qualify for upgrade pricing to CS6.

Adobe doesn't care, they don't have to. I like Phsotoshop and have been using it professionally for 20 years, but lets face it, I wouldnt mind some really good competition from another source. It didnt use to be the only game in town, and doesnt have to remain so.
I could brainstorm how I would want competing software to look like. Pshop is not the easiest workflow possible. Illustrator is clearly deficient to even CorelDraw, and certainly Freehand. I've been meaning to reconnect with CorelDraw. It did some cool things.
Google Chrome is pulling a lot of manoevers software wise and I hope they try to go a little deeper and give Adobe a run for their money on the one program they feel justifies unbelievable gouging. Go investigate Ableton Live if you want to see what a company that cares about its customers is doing, ADOBE. Audition is a JOKE compared to Ableton Live. Thank God we're not powned on the audio side by these suits.
The idea that a company would peddle buggy software, which CS4 was..., although some of that was Apple's fault, is bad, the upgrade prices were ridiculous, and this is the end of the road for me currently. The idea that a company would actively
push away customers is pretty incredible. "But I sent you an email!" Whoops, you gotta pay $1900 for production premium CS6! HAHAHAHAHA. Time for a YT video with my old hard copy box. Sounds like a good idea.
There are too many options on the motion graphics side, and I'll keep a static machine to run Pshop and AE CS4.
The masters of the universe will have theit way, and the rest must bow to their ambivalent greed. At least that's the way they think. It would seem that Adobe and Apple really, really want some upstarts to come up. Maybe $360 for a year to figure out an exit might work. It will be interesting to see if this hits earnings. VERY interesting.

Computer randomly shuts down/Very unstable since upgrade to yosemite

Since upgrading to yosemite my computer has become very unstable.
For anyone that can help with what may be causing this issue I would really
appreciate it. As for "Adobe" being a possible cause, how can I determine
which Adobe program and related files are the culprit?
Thank you very much to anyone who offer's their support and help.

A number of problems exist including the likelihood of system corruption as a result of using CleanMyMac.
It is not reasonable to expect a Mac to operate normally after using CleanMyMac. Like many ill-conceived "cleaning" utilities, it is capable of corrupting a Mac to the point that erasing it completely is the only practicable means of recovery. CleanMyMac is not the only example; it is merely popular due to marketing strategies that are as effective as they are intrusive.
There is no practicable way to reverse the effects of having used CleanMyMac2 other than to reinstall all affected files from backups or their original sources. Its developer's uninstallation instructions are ineffective despite their recent claims to the contrary. Only MacPaw, its developer, can know the reason for that, but I can think of two possibilities: either they are purposefully leaving components behind for reasons known only to them, or they simply don't know what they're doing. Neither one of those possibilities is particularly comforting for the user.
Reinstalling OS X alone will have no effect on either removing CleanMyMac or reversing the damage it is capable of inflicting upon a system.
Besides CleanMyMac2, garbage "cleaning" and "anti-virus" software exists, specifically "Avast", "Smith Micro", and "Symantec / Norton". Those products should not be installed on any Mac, because they convey no benefit and are only capable of creating or contributing to problems.
In addition, that Mac's Hosts file appears to have been modified. Fixing a modified Hosts file requires specific instructions. Apple Support Communities contributor and EtreCheck author etresoft recently added a User Tip discussing that concern, and how to correct it: Fixing a hacked /etc/hosts file
The recovery procedure that follows will obviate the need to correct all those separate problems and is likely to require the least amount of your time and interaction.
Follow the applicable recovery procedure below:
If you have a backup that you created prior to using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. For Time Machine, boot OS X Recovery, and at the Mac OS X Utilities screen, choose Restore from Time Machine Backup. Choose a date preceding the installation of CleanMyMac.
If you do not have a backup that predates the use of CleanMyMac, create one now. To do that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.
The recovery procedure will require that you erase the Mac using OS X Recovery, and then create a new user whose contents will be empty. You will then be able to use Setup Assistant to migrate your essential documents including photos, music, work products and other essential files.
When doing so, select only your previous User account and do not select "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" or "Other files and folders". De-select those choices.
Subsequent to using Setup Assistant, you will need to reinstall the essential software you may require, once again remembering to install software only from their original sources, and omitting all non-essential software.
To erase and install Yosemite read: OS X Yosemite: Erase and reinstall OS X
To migrate your essential documents read: OS X Yosemite: Transfer your info from a computer or storage device and follow the procedure under Transfer info from a Time Machine backup or other storage device.

Program settings advice for CS3 Prod Premium on Vista 64-bit

I need advice to optimize my PC for CS3 Production Premium after a clean re-install of Vista 64-bit. I am on a new HP Pavilion d5000t desktop with Quad core 2.66 and 8GB RAM. I got the PC in August, and began having problems from the start. I don't know if it was the computer or CS3.
I was having performance issues and numerous freezes. Failures were mostly in Encore, but also in the other CS3 apps. I got no error messages telling me what was wrong. They simply stopped working" and forced shutdowns. I did plenty of Vista's diagnostics tests but never isolated the cause. After doing a couple of editing jobs, I had cache folders and previes files everywhere.
I now have the computer back to factory condition. It has some neat features and programs, but I probably don't need a lot of it. Norton Security, games, Windows Defender, consumer photo and video apps, and others. However, I am afraid to uninstall or disable anything because I won't know what I'm doing. I had existing jobs in progress before I backed up my files onto an extarnal drive.
I am about to re-install CS3 and restore my backup. I need help setting up scratch disks and other settings. I have no idea how to set up Version Cue or Bridge for file management. The factory system drive is a 2-drive RAID 0 1TB total and is probably the most capable, but I don't know if I should store all my video on there. It used to be you had to separate the system drive from the content storage, but I don't know if that's still the case. Apart from the factory drives, I plan to install two more internal 250 GB SATA drives, an external 1 TB Buffalo drive with triple interface. I also have a MyBook and a Maxtor OneTouch 4 external, both 500 GB. I work primarily with MiniDV video.
Please somebody send me a good configuration plan so I won't get confused again. Thanks.

Please reference my previous post:

Bridge in CS3 resets

Hello all -
When I use Bridge, I flip through the folders, do my thing and then hit the red x to close. When I open Bridge again, it resets everything back to the default layout - not my last looked in folder ... or wherever I was the last time I had it up. I made a new workspace as well - and this also resets.
In another post, I read something about "autoload" and I cannot find this ... to see if this is the culprit or not. Anyone know where I can find this in CS3 or if that's the not the problem - what I can do to fix this? When I was on my iMac (I'm on a Mac Book Pro now), Bridge would pop back open to where I had left off and I didn't know it was a setting - or something I would miss until it was gone!

I have tried every conceivable variation of shutting it down and closing it.
However, nothing seems to help. I cannot find this "auto load" thing in PS and
it sounds like it's different from PC to Mac - me being on the Mac. So if
someone can point to this window and where it's exactly located - I'll check
it out. Right now, going through all the Prefs ... I am not seeing it.
There is only proper way and that is with at least one window open choose
quit (actually 3 ways to quit, Cmd+Q, icon in the Dock and menu Adobe
Bridge/quit,- but you do understand that and they all have the same result).
Having multiple windows open the last used window where you have altered
things will be again showing with same content (not same location in content
window, it starts at the top.
As not having installed CS3 anymore the place for the 'start at login'
option for CS4 and CS5 is in the preferences advanced tab.
It might be in the general tab for CS3 as Curt states but as said, can't
check this but to my recall it was also called 'start at login'. That said,
also check your PS CS3 prefs, might be in there also.
You did not mention if you already have tried to refresh the preferences as
per my earlier post?

Iphone 4 running 4.3.5 wifi very unstable/will not connect to network

Hi all iPhone users. Im new to this so please bear with me. I have an iPhone 4 (had for about 1 month or so). I have recently updated to the new 4.3.5 software. Sice then, my wifi seems to be very very unstable. Im only about 10ft from my router and when I go to connect, I get an error saying 'unable to join network'. I previously had an iphone 3gs and that connected fine further away.
When my iphone 4 does connect, the connection lasts about 10-15 secs and then it will not load any web pages although it shows its connected. I have tried all methods on previous threads but nothing seems to work. Ive also tried retting my router and changing the wifi channel to make the signal stronger but nothing seems to work.
Ive seem some threads where people have 'put them in the freezer' but im not willing to do that as the phone is only a month old. Ive tried the network reset, the hard reset, re-installing itunes and trying the update again but it nothing seems to work.
Any help or advise would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi folks,
SOLVED
iPhone 4 wasn't having any joy (and neither was my new 4s).
Tried turning OFF the security on the router, connecting the iPhones (yep, they connected OK) then turning on the security (WPA2-PSK [AES]) and both iPhones still connected.
So, it looks like this is the way to solve a non-connecting iPhone 4/4s with a Netgear WiFi router.
Hope this helps others with the same problem.

Use of sync async bridge for webservices

Hi ,
We have a scenario where we need to send a data from ERP system to PI via webservice. PI communicates with a third party system via webservice.
The data can be posted to this third party system using webservices. The third party system then reads some data asynchronosly and sends the data to PI . We need this data to be sent to the synchronous webservice from ERP system.
Can we use the sync async bridge for this scenario. Some details on how we can do this will be very helpful..
Thanks
Bharathwaj

Hi Abhishek,
Thanks for the immediate reply.
The scenario is
ERP <---WS/SOAP--->PI -----WS /SOAP of 3rd party---> 3rd Party system (X).
PI <------- WS of PI
X posts the data to a backend. THe system X then picks some processed information. This system is not capable of sending the response synchronosly. It can post this data to PI once the data is available. Now PI needs to take this data and post it to the WS request from ERP.
Hope I have provided some clarity on the scenarion..
Thanks again.
Bharathwaj

System identification for open loop unstable plant?

Hello,
I have been trying to use system identification on labview. My problem is that my plant is open loop unstable and none of the tutorials or examples I have found seem to cover this so I cannot get it to work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I should go about it? My plant has an RC servo so it needs a PWM signal to stimulate it.
Thanks
Adam

I want to control my plant with lead/lag control but I do not know the plant model which makes this very difficult. I cannot theoretically calculate it because the information I need to obtain a numerical transfer function or state space model is unavailable.
I have it controlled with PID at the moment but this is not ideal.
I am trying to use the system identification toolkit to obtain a transfer function but I do not know what to do because the examples do not work for open loop unstable plants.
Adam
Ok Open loop unstable functions cannot be predictably controlled (hence the terms; open loop and unstable,) Not being able to model the actions is a bit of a problem too.
Somehow, someway you need to get some kind of model or some kind of feedback to either provide stability in the plant or close the loop.
Adding hardware (sensors) is the most likely solution.
tell me more about the plant, I do this kind of thing for a living, so I could offer some ideas.

Optimizing macbook pro for cs3???

I'm trying to optimize my macbook 2.6 for cs3. I have the internal 200gb 7200 rpm drive, 4 gigs ram, and an external fw 800 500gb (eSata) maxtor scratch/save disk. I have 86% memory allocated to ps, and 8 cache levels. I am working on high rez zillion layer files that range from 1gb to 2gb....and I can only get up to get coffee 3 times during a saves, before I get the jitters....so I am tired of dat progress bar.
Is there a optimization document on Adobe?
Thanks for any help...
Dave

With 86% memory allocated to PS you may be starving the system. Experiment with smaller RAM allocations down to as low as 50% (my MBP has 2 GB allocated to PSCS3).
Hard drive optimizing is very important. Hard drives slow as they fill so make sure all hard drives are kept relatively unfilled: 50% full is about right for speed and 70% full should be considered a maximum. You describe your scratch drive as FW800 and eSATA; it can only be connected one way, so use the faster eSATA if you have an EC/34 eSATA card.
Merge layers when possible and reduce Cache Levels like Ann said.
