Bridge menu no longer working

I can no longer use the camera raw menu button or rotate buttons in CS6 bridge. Also for many TIFF photos, I get the TiFF logo rather than the photo.
These two problems began that at the same time after I shut down the PS and Bridge in the usual way and then later opened them again. They worked fine for several months and suddenly they no longer work.

Bridge Crash - "Bridge is no longer working"

I have been using Bridge in CS3 for months now with no problems, it now crashes as soon as I open it "Bridge is no longer working". I have reloaded my software but I am still having the same problem. It looks like it is impossible to find a real person with Adobe to ask for technical assistance. This is my first real issue with PS and am seriously looking at another package. Any help out here???

The problem encountered in the original post may have been the result of a problem with the SmugMug plugin and, for many, the ensuing problems with Bridge are not fixed by resetting preferences or deleting Bridge cache or resetting the workspace. The further solution is detailed in another thread, which related to Mac OS, but in which a Windows user posted his solution (which also worked for me on the Mac). That forum thread is here (if this forum accepts links, if not it is thread 2423516): http://forums.adobe.com/message/2423516
Here is the fix posted by the Windows user:
"One of two files is corrupted. I don't know which it is, but the system rebuilds them the next time you upload and everything is fine.
Steps:
1) In bridge, select "Edit", then "Preferences". Select the "Startup Scripts" tab.
2) Click the "Reveal Scripts in Explorer" button.
3) An explorer window will open. Navigate to "Adobe", "Online Services", "Adobe Creative Suite 3.0", and then "Cache".
4) You should find one or more files with the extension .dat in this folder. Delete them.
5) Navigate further down the tree to "Adobe", "Online Services", "Adobe Creative Suite 3.0", "Clients", "Adobe Creative Suite", and then "sessions"
6) Once again, you will find one or more .dat files. Delete them.
Close and restart Bridge, making sure that you have "Photoshop Services" checked in the startup preferences.
You probably will have to let bridge rediscover the online services, but once that is done, you should be golden.
This worked for me using CS3 on an XP machine. I assume it would be similar in Vista and/or CS4, but you may have to be a bit creative."
Note: if you can't get Bridge to open at all (my experience), then just omit the first two steps and go straight to finding the relevant files indicated, using Explorer.
(I personally had this error on Mac OS X, and the same solution worked, the only difference being the location of the files that need to be removed, which is detailed in the thread referenced above.)

The spry pop-up menu I built in Adobe Dreamweaver worked fine in my old Firefox, I updated Firefox today and the menu no longer works--despite disabling the pop-up blocker in Firefox preferences...what's the problem??? I need the menu to work!!!

I built a new pop-up menu for my website using Spry in Adobe Dreamweaver. Because of some differences in .HTML and .XHTML
it took me days to get it right. I tested every variation in Firefox until it worked perfectly. Today, I installed the newest version of Firefox and now the pop-up no longer works. I changed the preferences in Firefox to disable to pop-up blocker and it STILL DOESN'T WORK...although an older style of pop-up menu (menu machine) which is no longer supported by Adobe, DOES WORK.
HELP!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT.

pixlor:
OP is using CS3 and the menu blog is talking about the menus
in earlier
versions of FW, so *most* of the points made in the blog
don't apply.
That's not to say that using CS3 pop-up menus is a *good*
thing....

The search function in CS6 bridge is no longer working

The search function in CS6 bridge is no longer working

Bridge CS6 for Mac? Problem with last Camera Raw upgrade (8.4). See here http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/acr-84-bridge-cs6-metadata.html
Otherwise, make sure you are indexing all files.
Someone else had a similar problem recently, and fixed the problem by relocating the Bridge cache location - initiating a complete rebuild of the index and cache. Sledgehammer to crack a nut, but very easy to do.

The "Clear Search History" feature in the upper right drop-down menu no longer works in Firefox 4.

The "Clear Search History" feature in the upper right drop-down menu that shows search terms no longer seems to work in Firefox 4.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file that stores the "Saved Form" data.<br />
Rename or delete formhistory.sqlite (plus formhistory.sqlite-journal and formhistory.sqlite.corrupt and formhistory.dat, if they exist) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file that stores the "Saved Form" data.<br />
This will remove all saved form data, so you may want to rename formhistory.sqlite to formhistory.sqlite.sav or move the file to another folder in case you need to recover some saved data.
You may also need to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]

Fruit Menu no longer works; Finder menu disappears & hangs

Since the last security update a few weeks ago, I find a lot of my old software doesn't work anymore.
The symptom is the Finder and Dock stop responding, and the Finder menu bar at the top of the screen disappears.
I have updated Unsanity's Fruit menu extension, but this is no longer reliable. Also some older apps seem to cause Finder/Dock crashes as well.
Specifically I'd like to find a Apple-Menu hack to allow me to put folders etc in there. Are there alternatives to Fruit Menu?
thanks

First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Nano Backlight (Hold-Menu) no longer working after iPod Updater 2006-01-10

After updating my 4gb black iPod Nano to software v1.1 via the iPod Updater 2006-01-10, I can no longer enable the backlight by holding down the menu button. Now when the menu button is pressed and held for a second or two it actually returns to the home screen. Feature or bug? The backlight does work if I set it to turn off in 2 Seconds via the Settings->Backlight Timer menu so I know the hardware is still ok. In practice, I usually leave the backlight off to conserve battery and temporarily enable it via the hold menu procedure when needed. Any others experiencing this same problem?
Pb 12/1.5/80GB/1.25GB/BT2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I'd be willing to bet that Apple considers the
updated behavior to be the "Correct" behavior.
According to the Apple Nano Features Guide:
"Turn on backlight - If the backlight timer is set to Off, press and hold Menu to turn on the backlight"
I would argue that the issue I am experiencing after update is not the correct behavior. Every iPod made, save the shuffle, functioned this same way: hold the menu button for 1-2 seconds to enable backlight.

Right-click finder context menu no longer works

When I bring up the context menu on any file/folder in my finder or desktop, none of the actions work - such as "Move to Trash", "Get Info", "Duplicate". In debugging I removed MagicPrefs, thinking it might issues with the mouse.
It works if I used shortcut keys, or drag files to the trash.
I'm not sure what changed recently - any help would be greatly appreciated.
-John

I'm able to bring up the menu (by right-click or control-click), all the options are enabled (nothing grayed out) ... when I choose any of them, nothing happens. No UI error, nothing in any of the logs I looked at.
I switched to a wire-mouse and got the same result. I used the track pad and got the same result.
Another observation - the labels do work, I can label a file some color and then remove it.

Software Update (in Apple Menu) No Longer Works

When I click on the software update under the apple menu (10.3.9), nothing happens. It is not grayed out, I get no messages about trouble connecting, just zip. When I go in through system preferences and use the software update ("Check Now"), it does fine. Can anyone explain the disconnect between the apple menu item and the update ? Can anyone help me get it back to being clickable from the pull-down menu ?
Thank you.

Sometimes things do happen.
Have you tried:
1. Simply restarting the computer? Once in awhile a restart will cure something strange.
2. Starting up in Safe Mode? This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). Repair permissions on it.
If a simple restart doesn't fix the problem, see if a little hard drive maintenance does it for you.
Good luck.

Mavericks "services" menu no longer working in InDesign CC

Since installing InDesign CC the services menu now show "no services available". These were all there in CS 5.5. Doing a document that uses lots of Math and now I can't access LaTeXIt to create these formulae on the fly.
Any suggestions or work-arounds?

I think the Macintosh Services menu was probably disabled when InDesign was re-written for Cocoa and 64-bit in InDesign CC. But, for me, options under the Services menu rarely worked in earlier versions of InDesign. I'm sorry you're losing some functionality. Since I'm not familiar with LaTeXIt, I can't suggest a workaround. What were you using it for?
I did a little more testing. It's hit or miss which applications respect the Services menu. It seems to work best in Apple applications like Safari, Mail, etc. but less so elsewhere. Applications that handle their own text like Adobe applications mostly ignore it.

History menu no longer working

Just doesnt seem to anymore ie storing the latest websites I visit I am wondering if I pressed something by mistake but cant think what.I have to keep clearing it otherwise it affects any video clips I may want to watch making them judder,Thanks

If so, quit it, trash this file, reboot...

BPC V7 MS CUSTOM MENU DOES NOT WORK

Hello all,
We are in the process of upgrading from BPC V5 to BPC V7 Microsoft and my custom menu no longer works. I am using Windows XP Pro, Office 2007 and BPC 7.0. I have a file called M01Summary2.xlt which contains various graphs that change whenever the settings in the current view are changed. On my EV_DEFAULT worksheet the settings are: Action is HIGHLIGHT, P1 is Reports\Wizard\ProcessMenu\MenuReports\M01Summary2.xlt, P2 is blank, P3 is blank, P4 is DEFAULT. When I test the custom menu, the graphs do not appear on the EV_RESULT worksheet. I can change a cell on M01Summary2.xlt (say add a color to the cell), save the file and the test the custom menu again and the color will appear in EV_RESULT but not the graphs. Can anyone offer any suggestions to fix this problem? Does V7 not recognize graphs? Could it be the fact that I'm using Office 2007? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Renee

Please check the SAP Note 1404813. It seems a well known behavior and it should have been fixed in 7.5 SP1.
It seems that this issue only happens when working with Excel 2007. With Excel 2003 all works fine.

Simmaco

Scripts no longer working via Bridge

For some reason, scripts no longer works in Bridge CS4.
I've previously installed "Dr. Brown's services" scripts which is available in the "Tools" menu of Bridge. However, when I select some files, then choose this script Photoshop starts up, but nothing more happens.
The same goes for the "Tools"-"Photoshop" menu (Batch, Image processor etc.). Photoshop CS4 starts up but nothing else happens.
However, if I do the same thing in Photoshop itself ("File"-"Scripts") it works fine, so the scripts themselves are working, or so it seems.

If for some reason Bridge suddenly behaviors other then before the first
thing to try is a restart for Bridge holding down option key to refresh the
preferences. Set Prefs again to your wishes and try again.

Menu bar no longer working with IE update

With the recent update in IE my main menu bar is no longer working, the "hover" function is not working and looks like the links are broken, but the links do work if you actually click on them. From my vista machine it is OK but from my XP machine it does not show as being a link. The submenu's however do still work, here is the code, the first line is from the main menu and doesn't work, the 2nd line is a submenu and does work.
Here is the site www.conundrumadventures.com
From the main menu this is the code for "Adventures":
<td id="002" class="link4" onclick="location.href='Teambuilding-Exercises-Adventures.php'"; onmouseover="changeC('002','link4h');" onmouseout="changeC('002','link4');" >Adventures</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
From within the adventures page here is the code for the submenu for "Conundrum Metro":
          <td id="303" class="Sublink4" onclick="location.href='Outdoor-Team-Building.php'"; onmouseover="subchangeC('303','Sublink4h');" onmouseout="subchangeC('303','Sublink4');" >Conundrum Metro</td>
        </tr>
Any ideas how to fix the main menu bar?
Thanks
Lynn

I recommend doing away with your mouseover/mouseout links and convert to using Cascading Style Sheets.
Here is a link to CSS tutorials: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html
You don't say whether you are using Dreamweaver CS4 or an earlier version, but even if you are using that earlier version, you can type the code in yourself. Look especially at the tutorial chain "Designing with CSS", as there is a module that talks about a menu bar and how to make the links.
Best wishes,
Beth

I have recently updated the new apps via creative cloud now photoshop and bridge no longer work, they open then say they have encountered a problem and close, I also tried opening the old version of photo shop but getting the same result

I have recently updated the new apps via creative cloud now photoshop and bridge no longer work, they open then say they have encountered a problem and close, I also tried opening the old version of photo shop but getting the same result

What OS version? What's the exact error? Exactly when does the error occur? What previous versions? What is on the screen when the error displays? Does Photoshop get fully open?
Try opening Photoshop holding down Shift key immediately to turn off plug-ins. Lots of good suggestions here: Photoshop: Basic Troubleshooting steps to fix most issues
