Bridge Frozen & needs cache folder emptied.

In Bridge I got an error message saying I needed to purge the cache folder, but when I attempt to do that, everything freezes and I have to force quit Bridge. I was told to go to the Bridge cache folder in "library" and delete specific folders there to solve my problem. Unfortunately, I cannot find "library' neither by opening folders and looking nor by doing a search for "library". Apparently it is invisible or missing. What can I do about this????

Press and hold the 'Option' key while using the 'Go' menu in Finder menu bar.
You will see a 'Library' item appear. This is technically your user library folder (typically referred to as '~/Library').

Cache folder empty - why?

I cannot figure out why the downloads aren't downloading to the cache folder. I have reinstalled/repaired the client, and WMI. Any help would be appreciated.

Can't choose cache folder in Bridge CS6 on a different drive/partition

Hi,
I just installed Photoshop CS6 and noticed a non-critical, but nevertheless annoying problem in Bridge (Platform: Win7 x64):
When I try to relocate the cache folder (Menu: Edit -> Preferences -> Cache -> Location, then pressing the button "Choose"), the path selection dialog that pops up is actually incomplete.
That is, it doesn't show all my drives. In fact, it doesn't show ANY paritions.It just defaults to the usual user home directory (on partition C: ), but won't show (and hence: won't let me select) any other partition. To be more precise: The root folder of the tree shown is the "Desktop" folder in my user home directory - and that's all there is.
Since there is no field were I could enter (type) the path directly, I'm basically stuck with having my cache on C: now. Which isn't the place where I want it. (I have not enough disk space there)
For comparison:
In Bridge CS5, the same dialog is working as expected: I.e. when I scroll down, I can also see other partitions, and choose a path somewhere on, say, drive F:
BTW: I also noticed this same behaviour with the CS6 beta, but wasn't concerned then, because - well... it was just a beta, and I thought that somehting as obvious as this would be fixed by the time the final version comes out... :-/
Is there any other way to set the cache path?
Should I file a bug report?
Before someone asks: Yes, I deinstalled the beta before installing the final PS CS6, and yes, everything else seems to work as it should.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Regards,
Manuel
P.S.: If needed, I can supply screenshots of the dialog in question.

Thanks for your continuing suggestions, Curt,
The date of the document you included is 2006, so it is way out of date.
Mmmh, I can only see:
/Last updated
2011-06-30/
While that's not brand new (and doesn't explicitely mention CS6), it's
significantly newer than 2006 and it's the exact same page that comes up
when you open Bridge's help window and search for "reset". Other pages like
http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2009/10/resetting_bridges_preferences.html
and
http://planetphotoshop.com/resetting-bridges-preferences.html
also concur that it's CTRL-ALT-SHIFT - which is what I used to
successfully reset the settings.
But let's stop talking about what's the proper way to reset Bridge's
preferences and get back to the actual topic:
In preferences/startup scripts do you have checks for at least Bridge
and Photoshop?
I just had a look, and every startup script is checked (including the
ones for Bridge and Photoshop)

Need to re-burn a DVD, but some source files are missing. But Media Cache folder has them all.

hi all. I have PE3 and the issue is this: I needed a DVD of a project I'd completed a year ago, and I didn't have an old copy of the DVD. So I decided to re-burn it. But on opening the project, it seems some of the source files have been misplaced on my computer, so it says 'media offline'.
I figured I'd still be able to burn it though, because the Media Cache folder contained all the required files...
However it starts to burn the DVD and then stops at 49% saying transcoding error.
Q1: can you still burn a DVD if it says 'media offline' but you know all the source files are present in the Media Cache folder?
Q2: what's the transcoding error?
thx

The Media Cache folder contains files that are only of use to PE during internal editing and will NOT solve your lost video problem.
Once a Project is completed, that have no outside value.
The contents are CFA and PEK files, which is the Conformed Audio and Waveform Display, respectively (no video here to my knowledge).
And I'm not aware of any way to make them useful (outside of PE).
If you happen to have your Project and source video/audio files intact, and then delete the contents of the Media Cache folder, upon re-opening the Project, PE will regenerate the CFA and PEK files. Again this is only if you have the Project and all the source files (Assets)...

BRIDGE CS6 - Move CACHE without rebuilding/indexing

Hi,
been trying to find answers for this in the forum, but could not, so here we go.
I have setup a SSD RAID0 system to use as dedicated CACHE drive.
I have A LOT of files (and I mean A LOT!!) on my computer as I am working a lot with timelapse-photography.
For after effects / premiere, I have moved the cache files from the old location to a new location on the new speed-devil-SSD-Cache system, without problems.
However, when I try to move the Bridge cache folder, and then specify that new location in Bridge, it seem like Bridge is NOT picking up the files which is allready stored on the new location.
Actually Bridge starts to rebuild the cache and read all files again. This is VERY time-consuming, due to my very large number of files on my system.
Now If could leave Bridge rebuilding over night, I could probably survive. The problem is that Bridge does not start to fetch thumbs and rebuild until I enter that specific folder again with Bridge.
So my question is; How can I make Bridge believe the new cache location is still the old one, so that I don't have to rebuild all my cache files again?
For now I switched back to the old cace location for Bridge, until I figure out how to overcome this rather strange behaviour of Bridge..
Surely there has to be an elegant way of moving your cache in Bridge withough having to rebuild all over again..
Thank you for any advise..
Ola

Thanks guys!!
The problem is, the apporach you are suggesting, will make Bridge index/cache ALL of my files, and although I have A LOT of files that are indexed, I have equally many or maybe more, that are not, and need not to be indexed..
That is why I would like to MOVE the and keep the existing library so that I don't cache files I do not need to be cached...
I guess I will just have to bite the bitter apple and delete the old cache, sit and wait for each folder I access, one by one...
This is something that needs to be adressed by Adobe...

LR4 and Camera RAW Cache folder

Hi all,
I know many are complaining about LR4 responsiveness and how LR3 was faster in response.
Like many others, I have a new and very fast PC, however it seems that LR4 is crawling when it comes to navigtaing through images.
I've done my share bit of tweaking LR4 to get the best optimized results such as, Optimize catalogs, Render 1:1 previews, Increase Camera Raw cache size to 30GB, move the Camera Raw Cache folder next to the catalog folder as Adobe recommends and what not.
LR4 didn't become more responsive, however I did notice something strange, which is the topic of this post.
While filddeling around with LR4 performance issues on my PC, I've noticed that even though I have over 20,000 images in my PC and some folders are rendered with 1:1 previews, the Camera Raw Cache folder is empty.
This might explain why rendering 1:1 previews didn't affect LR4 while browsing images.
For example, right after I've created the 1:1 previews (whether it's straight from import or after the fact) I'm browsing back and forth during this browsing action, LR4 renders the 2 images each and every single time I view them - that beats the purpose of using the cache folder.
So one comes to think how could it be that with such a catalog size and 1:1 previews, the camera raw cache folder remains empty? And could this be the cause that makes LR4 render each and every single image time and time again regardless if I viewed the image a second ago?
Thanks.
Gil.

Firstly, to clarify, Previews and Camera RAW files are not the same thing. Previews are simple, just jpeg representations of the raw file, at various resolutions used principally in the Library module and filmstrip.
Camera RAW cache files are used by the Develop module and contain the output from some initial RAW processing. I don’t remember exactly what processing but about half that LR needs to do to render an image. This processing is done regardless of what you actually do in the Develop module so it is done once, then cached. This is why the “Loading” appears to take longer when you initially browse to an image in the Develop module. The rest of the RAW processing (about half) is done every single time you browse away from the image and back again. This is why you always get CPU spikes when browsing through images in the Develop module. So you can create as many 1:1 previews as you like, this will have no impact whatsoever on image rendering performance in the Develop module.
So to answer your question specifically,
Can you be more specific about when exactly does this folder being populated?
A camera raw cache file is generated when you browse to an image whilst in the Develop module. Files continue to be generated until the cache size limit is reached, then as new files are generated, the oldest are deleted.

Moving Photoshop Cache Folder

My Photoshop CS6 Perpetual Cache is on a drive that undergoes backup - I don't want Cache backed up. I'm using Win 7 Pro 64 bit
Please, how can I move it to another drive, can't find a way in Photoshop - Edit --- Preferences. I would also like to limit the life of the cache folder to the period of use of Photoshop and Bridge.
Further, on being invited to upgrade my Applications Manager, Photoshop CS6, Bridge and Camera Raw today, the Applications Manager update failed - I waited 2 hours before stopping with task manager, I know, stupid, but would you risk it? It seems I didn't have Applications Manager aboard and trying to later download and install it, failed. Any thoughts please - I gues it's because I don't subscribe to the new Cloud. Surely the upgrade window should have said something like - "Sorry update has failed"!
Thanks for all the help in the past and thanks in anticipation for help with these new questions.

Thanks Chris
I decided on an experiment:
Firstly, I opened Photoshop CS6 Perpetual and then went to my 3T Drive
J: and there it was, Photoshop Tmp ..... which I think is the scratch
file.
In Edit - Preferences - Performance; there is a dialogue box for
History, Cache and Scratch with Scratch having a choice of drives - I
(me) chose J:. On closing Photoshop ...Tmp disappeared from J:.
Secondly, Bridge CS6 opened to a folder "Churches All" which has three
files not in sub-folders - I found two folders on J:; "256" and "1024",
each containing the same three files as in "Churches All". I closed
Bridge but those two folders plus two more; "data" and "full" remained.
"data" contains a file(?) called "store", but "full", paradoxically,
was empty.
Not sure what the above explains but Bridge does leave a trail of
folders/files, as shown on my I: drive back to 2012. Deleting those
folders/files manually does not seem to upset Photoshop, and now, having
a huge second drive, I suppose they are bearable but then I'm only a bit
more than a casual user. But once I start backing up to that drive the
story may be different. It would be nice if the system automatically
removed the cache after closing down photoshop/bridge.

Moving cache folder

Hello,
I would like to know if it´s possible to move the cache folder (adobe flash player) from C hard-disk to another one for example D.
Right now the program is installed on D. But the temporary cache folder is automaticly on C created.
Thanks a lot.

Media Cache Folder taking up 80GB disk space

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Sony VAIO S with Adobe Premiere Elements 8 preinstalled, and ripped my CD collection into iTunes. I opened Premiere Elements and created a project to see what sort of features were included, but didn't import any media or capture any video.
I (even more) recently found that my disk space had dropped by roughly 80 GB, seemingly due to the Adobe Media Cache folder. It would seem that Premiere has been running some sort of background service (my suspicions are on ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe, a program that reappeared briefly after I 'cleaned' the cache folder) that has imported my AAC iTunes music collection into the Media section in Premiere, and in the process uncompressed all 7 GB of my 256KB/s AAC music into 80GB of 16bit/48KHz PCM, copied to the Adobe Media Cache Folder in C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache\Media Cache Files
My questions are:
- Can I delete the Media Cache Folder without causing problems with Premiere?
- Can I prevent Premiere from adding all my media automatically (and uncompressing it in the process)? I don't mind not having all my music in the 'Media' sidebar of Premiere, I can just import the music I need.
Specs (if they help): Sony VAIO S, Intel i3 330M, GMA HD, 4GB RAM, Win 7 HP 64 bit. Premiere Elements 8.0.1. I also have PSE installed.
Thanks in advance,
Jim.

Cache folder excedes limits

My cache folder is consistently getting over 3 gigs. I have tried completely uninstalling firefox and installing the latest version. One of the problems with this folder being so large is that when a program like Spybot scans it, it takes forever.
What can I do to keep this folder from getting so large?

Here's the thing. I don't want to have to keep emptying my cache, I'd like to keep it at a manageable size. I just lowered Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content to 250mb. it was set at 1024mb but it consistently exceeds that limit. 
These are my config settings 
browser.cache.disk.capacity;262144 
browser.cache.disk.enable;true 
browser.cache.disk.max_entry_size;51200 
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled;false 
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.first_run;false 
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.use_old_max;false 
browser.cache.disk.smart_size_cached_value;358400 
browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl;true 
browser.cache.memory.enable;true 
browser.cache.memory.max_entry_size;5120 
browser.cache.offline.capacity;512000 
browser.cache.offline.enable;true 
These are default settings, will modifying these solve my problem? 
or is something else going on?

Mozill temp file folder (Cache Folder)

Hi,
Can anyone help me to get Mozill temp file folder (Cache Folder) from java file?.i need to download files from temp folder.java.io.temp doesn't work for mozilla.
Pls help.
Thanks and Regards,
Velrajan T.

Definitely use another drive as primary scratch. You can always nominate the others in preferences too – the more the merrier.
Having the PS scratch and the paging file competing for access on the same physical disk is not good.
The Photoshop temp files are normally at the root of the nominated drive and look like this: Photoshop Temp63115276004.
Any remaining after PS is shut down can be deleted (as can temp files elsewhere).

Media pending problem after clearing media cache folder

Hi All,
So yesterday I was having trouble with premeire in that on some of the files it conformed it managed to screw up the audio and play a short 'loop' instead of the actual audio. I was instructed to empty my media cache folder and re-start premeire pro which seemed to have worked fine. However upon booting the program up this morning it seems as though all the clips are 'media pending' (sans a title I added late last night) and even after conforming finished nothing will preview. Would re-deleting the media cache files work? I am hesitant because this seems to be what caused the problem in the first place.
Thanks again, it is much appreciated.

See if this helps.

Changing the JWS Cache Folder

hi folks,
I have a question: is there any way to change the JWS Cache Folder (and launch the application offline)?
I've heard about a file called javaws.cfg, but as far as I understood this file is no longer used in JREs neewer than 1.4.2.
let me explain my problem: I want to distribute (is deploy the right word?) a desktop application (I've already putted the pictures and jaspers inside the .jar), but i need to use an external config file to store the address of the server (just the ip of the postgres server with the database)...
can I use JWS to make something like this:
+C:\MY_APP\
- MY_APP.jar
- MY_APP.ini
so the user are also able to run the aplication from a desktop shortcut (to MY_APP.jar)?
thanks in advance and sorry about my bad english!

Move the cache folder.

Hello,
I used to move firefox cache folder to my secondary (350 MB) ssd drive. However since a few firefox versions back the way I did it (using about:config and finding cache parent directory ) doesn't work anymore. And by doesn't work I mean there is no setting like that.
The question is: is it possible to move firefox cache folder? If so - how can I do it?
Thanks in advance,
Tomasz.

SCCM Agent upgrade 2007 to 2012 Problem. UAC in ..\CCM\Cache folder

During the migration to SCCM 2012 R2 from 2007, i am using Software Update SUP to deploy the new agent, which will uninstall the old sccm 2007 agent from machines, and install the new SCCM 2012 R2 agent.
I test it in two or three machines and everything just works fine. The machine gets a software update (SCCM 2012 R2 Agent), uninstall sccm 2007, and install the new agent.
When i start testing in larger scale, i notice that some machines are not getting the new agent, and hanging in the removal of the old agent. The CCMSETUP.LOG file is stuck in (MSI: Action 9:09:35: SmsSwDistCacheDirDelete), while the (client.msi_uninstall.log)
shows :
[9:14:18] ERROR: Unable to enumerate files in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\CCM\Cache\7f2916ad-688e-4497-87fa-6e31d3d0d631.1.System (0x80070003)
[9:14:18] Unable to delete folder C:\Windows\SysWOW64\CCM\Cache\7f2916ad-688e-4497-87fa-6e31d3d0d631.1.System (0x80070002). Retry after 1 seconds
and that's it.
Hint: if i go to that machine and manually tried to open C:\Windows\SysWOW64\CCM\Cache folder, it prompts me for admin credentials (UAC prompt), if i deleted that folder, the SCCM Agent 2007 gets removed successfully, and the new SCCM 2012 R2 Agent gets
installed successfully.
Question: since i cannot do this for all machines in the organization, and i need the deployment to go smooth without any actions, why CCMSETUP is unable to elevate to admin right to get rid of the UAC prompt when opening that cache folder?
ammarhasayen

I can't imagine this being a UAC issue as the Windows Update Agent runs as local System which is not subject to UAC and effectively has God rights on the system. I suspect something else is preventing the folder from being deleted like your AV. You should
run procmon during an installation to see exactly what is stopping the folder from being deleted.
