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

  • My computer isn't restarting or shutting off and it says that it's because my Mail app isn't letting it, but the app isn't even open. I need help!

    My computer won't let me restart it or shut it off because it says that my Mail app is open, but in fact, the Mail app WILL NOT let me open it, and I tried closing it from the little app bubble itself, nothings working!
    I can't access my Mail, or even shut down my computer or restart it.
    Does anyone know anything that I can do?

    Try seeing if its in the force quit menu
    Menu bar/Apple logo
    select force quit
    and see if mail is in the force quit applications, if so select it and force quit it.

  • New Macbook Pro w/ Retina: Random definitions pop-up from the bottom left of my screen when dictionary isn't even open

    My OS is 10.9.3 and I've only had it for a month or so.
    I'll be on Firefox or the desktop and without touching the mouse or keyboard or anything 'var' appears highlighted in yellow at the bottom left corner of my screen and a speech bubble will define it. The definition matches the one for 'var' in the built-in dictionary but I very rarely use it and have not had it open while this has happened.
    It happens about once a week and the word defined has been different 1 or 2 times but mostly its just 'var'. I haven't seen anyone else with this problem and it seems very strange to me. The Macbook also freezes occasionally or has periods of very slow loading; something which never happened with my old Mac White. Do I have a virus or something? What can I do about this?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    This is not a virus.
    I assume you're seeing something like this?
    Is it appearing over the word "var" appearing in text that is on the screen, or is it floating around somewhere totally inappropriate, almost as if someone had grabbed it and moved it somewhere?
    If it's actually appearing over real text, you may be accidentally triggering it. If you tap the trackpad with three fingers with the cursor over a word, that causes this dictionary pop-up to appear.
    On the other hand, if it's appearing randomly in weird places, it may simply be a glitch in your system. Try restarting the computer. If it keeps coming back, it's probably caused by some third-party software installed on your system.

  • How do I get rid of blank pdf windows that appear in mission control? My adobe acrobat program isn't even open.

    Everytime I go into mission control I see blank pdf windows. I can't get rid of them except when I restart my computer. Otherwise I have to put them all into 1 desktop in mission control so they don't clutter my other desktops. The windows only appear in mission control and not in the actual active desktop. I've tried closing any open application that uses pdfs but that doesn't help. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

    Hi Bill,
    I came to the problem this morning with a fresh perspective and have solved the problem: I realized the text was in Cambria, so I changed it to the dependable Times New Roman. I created the PDF and NO pound signs appeared scattered around in the PDF.
    Ay, fonts!
    Thanks for replying, and have a great day!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Help! Dataman says iTunes is using data when it's not even open.

    Hi all,
    Over the past two months I have been using unusually high amounts of data.
    At first I thought it was because I was streaming Podcasts. Yesterday I deleted the Postcasts app to see if it made any difference to the data I was using and downloaded DataMan app to confirm this.
    Now every time I check DataMan it shows iTunes using the most data, but iTunes isn't even open!
    I've closed all the programs running in the background and am wondering - where is this data usage coming from? What else can I do to stop this usage?
    Could it be a faulty report from DataMan? I don't believe that is the case because the usage the app is reporting is very close to what my provider is telling me as well.
    I've attached an image of the DataMan report so you can all see what I mean.. Any help would be appreciated!

    No, but ITunes helper does??? Not sure where this is launched/closed from.

  • Excel not even open - "cannot complete this task with available resources" and then VBA run-time error randomly appear!

    Has anyone else seen the "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources" error message appear when Excel isn't even open? It keeps happening to me, and it's the strangest thing.
    It seems like interacting with Excel files sometimes prompts it - for example, I just turned on my computer this morning, checked my email, and then opened Google Chrome to upload some Excel files. Excel hasn't been opened at any point since the machine
    booted up, but this Excel error popped up while I was uploading the files.
    Checked the Task Manager because I was baffled (not that this is the first time it's happened), and there's no Excel application running, just that silly error message. Choose OK on that error and a VBA run-time error message appears (not even sure if it's
    Excel VBA or Word/Outlook but I assume it's Excel - it's the good old 1004, application-defined or object-defined error).
    Debug is greyed out, so it won't let me debug to see what the problem is. Choosing End brings the "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources" message back for one final performance.
    This happens on a not-infrequent basis: Excel isn't open, and I randomly get this set of Excel errors: 1) "cannot complete task", 2) VBA run-time, 3) "cannot complete task" again. Then it's done, until the next time it happens. Weird.
    I have 32-bit Windows 7 and Excel 2013/2010/2007/2003/2002 (I know!) but the issue only started after installing 2013. I also get the "cannot complete this task" message regularly when working in Excel (generally with Power Pivot or something legitimately
    memory-hungry though), and restarting the application does the trick. I don't mind a heads-up when I'm gobbling up too many resources, but when Excel's not even open, it's a bit ridiculous. It's like I have a zombie Excel! Does interacting with Excel files
    via upload/moving around Windows Explorer actually trigger some sort of Excel action in the background?
    Any ideas would be most appreciated!! Thank you :)

    Hi,
    As the memory error messages , it can be very generic and don't always identify the real cause of the issue. We may try to use the KB that Mr. KR mentioned above to troubleshoot it.
    On the other hand, if the file is xls format, we may convert to the new file format .XLSM and test.
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Office_Productivity/Office_Suites/MS_Office/Excel/Q_28339883.html
    Next, try to disable hardware graphics acceleration from File > Options > Advanced > Display section and disable Aero Themes (if you enabled) to check the results.
    For the hangs and crashes issues, we may use ADPlus.vbs to troubleshoot:

  • Bridge CS5 will not open on new computer

    I deactivated ps cs5 on my old computer and used my ps cs5 upgrade disk to install it on my new win 7 ultimate computer. It should be clean install but I did migrate many files from the old win xp computer with windows easy transfer. Bridge will not open and I can not find it listed in my programs. I tried to run my old cs4 upgrade disk and it shows that I have bridge cs4 installed even though I never installed ps cs4 on this machine. Is it possible that some old migrated files are now blocking bridge cs5 from opening? I tried to reset preferences by holding the ctrl key and clicking on bridge but nothing will open. Would this be solved by upgrading to CS6 or will I still have the same issue if bridge cs5 does not open? I tried to run the bridge cs5 update but it will not install. I do not get any error message at any time. Adobe support advisor found an unnamed error but can not recommend a solution.

    I ran the creative suite cleaner and removed all files from cs3, cs4. But they are still there listed in c>programfiles (x86)>adobe. I can see adobe bridge cs4 and adobe bridge cs5. when i run bridge.exe from adobe bridge cs5 folder it opens bridge cs5. but i cannot open bridge while ps cs5 is open. I can't seem to delete the cs4 files as it says i need administrator rights, which are somehow not available.
    Update: Somehow it did work, even though the cs4 program files are still there. I opened mini bridge from within cs5 and it said something to the effect that it needed to close cs4 bridge and use cs5, i clicked okay and my files were displayed in mini bridge cs5. I closed that and then clicked the bridge icon from within ps cs5 and bridge cs5 opened. I guess I changed the preferences somehow. Thanks for your answer and suggestion, which may well have been the solution or it led me to the correct step. The big point is that I avoided the big reinstall I dreaded after two days of getting cs5 set up with all plug-ins,etc installed. Thanks for your help!

  • Bridge CS5 will not open camera raw - but hangs!!

    Just installed CS 5 web premium upgrade from CS4 web P - but Bridge CS5 will not open camera raw - it hangs!! - but camera raw can open via Photoshop ext. 64 bit on my Windows 7 pc.
    Whats wrong???
    Bent Medvind

    In that case I would try resetting Bridge preferences by holding down Ctrl as you start Bridge.
    Before that, ensure that there isn't a hidden copy of Bridge running under Task Manager > Processes.

  • Bridge CS3 won't open on school network

    HI all, Our school runs Win XP, uses Novell, and has CS3 installed in our business labs. As an administrator on the network, I have no problem at all opening Bridge. As a student though, Adobe Bridge will not open. I've tried on systems with original installs that have run fine otherwise, I've tried on fresh installs with all patches, and I've tried all the resolutions to various other Bridge issues I've seen posted in the forum -- all to no avail. I still get the "Adobe Bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close" -- all before the app even opens!
    The systems I'm running it on at HP/Compaq dc7100 (P4 2.8ghz HT, 1gb RAM) ... oh, also I've tried opening Bridge as "Run As" and logging on to the machine as an administrator, but that's not the level of permissions I can grant to high school students. Any ideas? Thanks for any recommendations!!

    So did you check in Task Manager and kill any instances of Bridge?
    And if it's checked, uncheck Load Bridge on Startup in preferences.

  • Photoshop / Bridge CS6 does not open the selected image thumbnails.

    When you remove the obvious,
    that which is left must therefore be the truth -- Sherlock Holmes
    Short version:
    When I created a new lightroom catalog, and imported a single, standalone file, It worked fine. But when I imported to the new catalog, any photos from my existing catalog, it would fail.
    Turns out that I was doing something a bit out of the ordinary with the IPTC Copyright field. In order to make my copyright information look "different" when I would export a file.
    One would normally put in that field something like "© 2009 someone". I discovered a few months ago that I could make this field display as a multi line entry.
    ie.
    if you wanted to put XY into the copyright field, but wanted it to display as:
    X
    Y
    all you would have to do is to put a carrage return between the two characters. (hint ctl^enter). Now when you displayed the "copyright" in an output file, it will display
    vertically instead of all the characters in a horizontal line.
    After being frustrated by this for a couple of weeks, I simply started removing every option that I might have applied to photographs that I would import with Lightroom. One of the last ones was the "vertical" information I put in the copyright field in a Preset. (when you remove the obvious...).
    Funny thing is that no program really cares about the formatting of that field, or if it has multiple lines in the data, or special characters.......It even opens up just fine in Photoshop / Gimp / PSE / etc. with no problems.
    But, if you have multiple lines of data in the Copyright Field (and I suspect others as well),
    AND you want to open up the file from Lightroom in Photoshop, using the standard menu item of " Edit with Photoshop CS4", for some reason Photoshop will start, but never open the designated file. I would expect some parsing something just giving up after it encounters a CR.
    But.....All is well that ends well. Now I can quit obsessing, and move on to something else...
    Best,
    Jim

  • Bridge CS6 can't open image with Photoshop CS6

    I installed Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6 with my Mac Pro with drive 1, which was cloned with drive 2 as a backup.
    Now every time I try to open my RAW file in Bridge, it opens the file with the Photoshop with drive 2 instead of 1.
    I have tried to eject the drive 2, but Bridge (with drive 1) fails to find the Photoshop in drive 1.
    I have to force to open the Photoshop CS6 before Bridge in order to open the image, is there a way to sovle this problem?

    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

    Currently using Photoshop CS5, but with a replacement computer and upgrade to Yosemite, keep being told I need to install the legacy Java 6. Currently, Photoshop won't even open. I absolutely do not want to subscribe, don't want to mess with the cloud, just want to buy an upgrade to something that will run for a while longer. I don't care about Lightroom, Bridge, Illustrator, etc.; most of those I've deleted over the years. But I do use Photoshop - or would if it would still run. What options do I have?

    This is the java you need for photoshop cs5 to work on mac os x 10.10 Yosemite

    It's also possible you may have to reinstall photoshop cs5 even after installing the above java, because sometimes the upgrade to mac os x 10.10 messes up the photoshop cs5 installation.
    You can download photoshop cs5 from here if you don't already have the install media.
