Bridge reopens in an old file

When I open CS3 Bridge it opens in some weird, old file, usually for several days in a row until it picks a new annoying place. In CS2 it always reopened where I last left it. Very frustrating!

I agree. I have the same problem, though I found out in other forums that if you quit Bridge via Command-Q it will then open in the last viewed file.
If you just close the window (without Quitting the Application), Bridge will reopen in the same old file, even if you have saved changes other files.
This was very frustrating initially. Now that I know how it works, I think I can use this feature.

  • Adobe bridge crashes when saving illustrator files

    Hi there,
    We are developing custom connector using Adobe Drive SDK for our DAM system, the integration with CS was working fine, we recently updated Adobe Drive to 4.2, and we are encountering bridge crashes when saving illustrator file. It didn't happen with older version(4.0.2) of Adobe Drive, not sure why. I pin point the part that causing the issue: in our custom connector, we have READ_XMP_METADATA capability which we need to display the thumbnails and previews, and in the ftp sample connector, this capablity is not included originally, so the issue does not happen, but if I add this capabilty, the crash issue happens as well. If we exclude this capablity from our connector, this crash issue doesn't happen.
    We noticed this only happens when saving illustrator file, not photoshop or indesign, and it seems that only in illustrator, when save, and the bridge has the current file folder showing, we are seeing there are twice folder refreshes, and usually it will crash after the second time. In photoshop and indesign, we don't see folder refreshes. If switch to other folder, the crash won't happen. We tested on both windows and Mac, on Mac, this seems happen less often. Another thing we noticed is in debug mode, or we have many debug logging turned on, the crash happens less often, if it is deployed with no debug logging, the crash happens almost everytime. So we are guessing it might be some synchronization problem. 
    Could you please advice what's the cause of this issue?
    Thanks,
    Katherine

    Has it ever worked?
    What kind of files are they and where do you save them?
    Is a printer connected, set up and turned ON?
    Have you already tried resetting the preferences?
    Generally it's not a good idea to just save old files, because then some artwork may be automatically flattened. Illustrator will save the file to the old version file-format and if you used new features in-between, those cannot stay live in the old version file format.

  • ERRORS Muse not menus working, JSON, can't open old files

    Using 2014.4CC
    I built out a site, went to save an upload to BC.
    Midway thru upload, got a JSON error .. see screenshot below. It exited, reopened the file and happened again.
    Renamed the folder at ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Muse CC to force a refresh of prefs ... Muse would open, but no menus, can't open pages, exit, etc ...
    So I uninstalled Muse using the uninstaller in Apps folder, cleared the folders in ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Muse CC
    Reinstalled Muse from CC app ... opens, can create a new site, but open any old ones, the menus still don't work.
    How do i get a fresh install and open my older files again?

    All menus grayed out ... can't edit old files, can only create a new one ....
    What folders do i purge and install Muse? This all started with a JSON error above ... using late Muse app 2014.2

  • Opening old files in newer Garageband

    I have a bunch of old Garageband files that I saved to an external HD prior to selling my old macmini years ago. I have never been able to reopen them.
    My macbook has Garageband 3.04, but I also have a new mac mini that I just bought (with the 5.1). Neither one can open up my old files, which I imagine are from 2.x
    They show up with the garageband icon, and when i click on them garageband opens, but the files themselves never open.
    Any help appreciated.

    Anyone? Any other ideas? I've been playing around with it a bit, and I have discovered somethings.
    If I open the "show package contents" of the file, most songs have two folders and 1 additional file. The file is just a datafile for the song, and the folders are always "Freeze Files" (ironic, since these songs just make garageband appear to freeze forever) and "media". The two folders are full of aif files, apparently all the tracks from the song.
    I can play all these tracks in itunes with no problems. And I can even import the aif files from the "media" folder if I drag them into a new garageband song. But when I try and import the aif files in the "freeze files" folder, it gives me the error message:
    "The audio file xxxx.aif has a 32 bit format and can't be used."
    Could this have something to do with why the files won't open?
    Anyway, help will be appreciated and rewarded with Karma and cookies (cookies will come later).

  • I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac.  Any suggestions?

    I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac. The drive is not listed in Disk Utility.  Any suggestions?

    Is the computer in you equipment line:
    Dual Core Intel Xenon
    (which is not a PowerMac but a Mac Pro) the one you are asking about, or do you have an older PowerMac?
    If a Mac Pro, their forums are here:
    Mac Pro
    and, as Mac Pros have a totally different architecture from the pre-2005 Macs this forum covers, you may not have the same issues that can affect the older models. If someone didn't notice your equipment line, you could get advice that doesn't apply.
    If you really have a pre-2005 PowerMac, read on.
    If the stubborn external is USB and does not have its own power brick (i.e., it gets power only from the computer's UBS ports--"bus powered"), it may not be getting enough power. As electric motors age, they can demand more power than when new, and the power available on any USB port is limited.
    The typical workabouts to making a computer recognize an aging, bus-powered USB drive are:
    Get a powered USB hub (has its own power brick
    Get a "Y" USB cable: 1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    The second gets power from two USB ports on the computer and often that's enough.
    Remember that the USB ports on your keyboard seldom provide enough power even for a thumb drive, so be sure to use the USB ports on the back of the computer.

  • I recently uploaded 10.8, but I have a number of VALUABLE old files which I can no longer read because "power PC applications are no longer supported.  How can I retrieve them?

    I recently uploaded 10.8, but I have a number of VALUABLE old files which I can no longer read because "power PC applications are no longer supported.  How can I retrieve them"?

    Here is a post I assembled for another with a similar problem:
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
    2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
    3. Upgrade to an Intel compatible versions of your software, or find alternatives that will open your data files;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
    NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
    NOTE 2:  Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

  • How do I make space on my MBP and transfer old files to External Hard Drive?

    I recently ran out of the 250 GB space on my 2010 Macbook Pro, so I bought a non-apple external hard drive. I plugged it in and Time Machine automatically popped up.
    I just wanted to know what the correct way to transfer all my old files that I'm not using any more and still want to keep to the external hard drive and not use the external hard drive as a "backup" for my laptop but rather as just a place to keep all the files I'm not currently using. Do I just use Time Machine and turn off the automatic back ups? Is there a certain way to transfer individual files to the EHD later (does this happen through Time Machine or just dragging them in through Finder?)?
    I've never used an EHD so I'm really unsure on how all this works on a Mac since the instruction manual only gave instructions for PC's even though it is Mac compatible.
    Thanks in advance!

    Apple doesnt make hard drives, they use Toshiba/Hitachi inside current macbook pro non-retina.
    You should always have a backup regardless, and 2 at that. One backup, and one archive, unless losing valuable data is no consideration to you.
    use time machine as a backup for restoration /emergency backup and use a separate HD for archiving valuable data.
    Using an external HD is as easy and falling down. Buy a nice Hitachi/Toshiba or Seagate external HD, format it in disk utility for MAC OSX extended journaled and drag and drop ALL your valuable data to same and updata as needed.
    a nice 1TB external HD is currently running $65
    backup with time machine,
    ARCHIVE all valuable data, ,music, pics, files, videos etc etc onto ANOTHER hard drive.
    2 backups is 1, and 1 is none. 
      If you always follow that rule that should be written in stone, you'll never be sorry.... (and I know countless 1000s that have been)

  • On my new Imac, I had the trial version of Pages, and saved some files in it. Now I have purchased the full version from Apple via a download, but I cannot save or print the old files, please help!

    On my new Imac I saved some files on the free trial version of Pages, since downloading the full version from Apple, have been unable to save or print from old files saved when using the trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

    My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • How can I delete an old file from my library on iTunes

    Occasionally I have to replace PDF manuals with ones that have been updated.  But after I sync the new file the old one remains on my Mac itunes library.  How can I delete the old file?  So far all I do is deselect the old file but it's still there.  Sooner or later there will be more old files then current ones making it hard to manage.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can do this with or without the iPad connected to your Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac. Click on Books under the Library heading. Click on the PDFs. Then click on the PDF that you want to delete in order to select it, and go to Edit>Delete and follow the on screen prompts.
    if you are using iTunes 11 and do not have the sidebar enabled, and wish to do so, go to View>Show sidebar or use the keyboard shortcut OPTION+Command+S.
    If you do not want to enable the sidebar, the library items can be accessed in the button in the upper left corner of the iTunes window.

  • I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved

    I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

  • How do I create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user

    This is why I think I need to.
    My computer got hit by lightening, and I may have created a new user account through netinfo rather than system preferences /accounts/+user. Mail used to open twice, but no longer. Now, Safari askes me for my keychain password twice, Spotlight can't find a folder on the computer when the search is restricted to folder and computer, though the folder is there and easyfind finds it, and when System Preferences/Spotlight/Privacy has the hard drive icon added, then deleted, Spotlight still does not find anything. (Yes, everything is backed up, on CD, DVD, and online.) Microsoft Tec Support says
    "Here is a summary of the key points of the case for your records.
    When you contacted us on August 8, you had requested assistance with Microsoft Office 2004, as your installation of the updates was unable to find the correct version of the software to update. After creating a New MAC User, we identified the issue to be with a corrupt MAC User account, and not a Microsoft issue. "
    I believe Microsoft. So, creating a new user was easy.
    But copying files uses up too much hard drive (movies, music), and may miss keychains, preferences, mail, address book, and documents. Since Spotlight no longer works, who knows what is happening. (Yes, I've repaired persmissions, and disk repair. No change). I'm using up my hard drive trying to move files to the new user. If I share files, or put them into a public folder, then delete the old user, will I still have the old user's files in the new user's account? It is not clear to me what I should be trying to do in order to create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user. Thanks.
    My responses will be slow, because I have to drive to town to use the internet. I've ordered a new airport which may take care of that problem. SO be patient.

    Hey -
    I need to do the EXACT same thing, but have no idea how. Has anyone out there done this?
    My situation is a tad different..this is a new Mac (and I'm a brand new Mac user). Tons of querks occur under my original account (videos won't run, Safari won't support certain plug-ins). I spent 6 hours on the phone w/ 4 different Apple Reps and nobody could fix it. A rep finally looked at my MacBook Pro in person today. He created a new account just to see if that would work and under that new account, everything works perfectly fine (no querks, can view video). He tried switching a million settings in my original account to no avail.
    He said to create a new account (as he did) and move my files over to the new account and then go back to the original and delete it. How do you do this?! I can't figure it out! I've got a new account created, but of course it just has the default folders in it w/ the little red icons next to them! Thanks in advance!

  • Time machine - on a new Mac, how can I find my old files?

    My iMac had to give way to the new baby, so I got myself an older MacBook Pro to replace it. I used the Migration Assistant to port all my music, photos etc. over, but the hard disk was smaller so had to forgo some bigger files - like my iMovie library.
    As a regular Time Machine/Capsule user, I figured getting a hold of everything would be feasible.
    However, now on the MacBook Pro, I can't connect to my old Time Machine volume for the iMac, and can't access any of the stuff I didn't port over. I'm certain the iMovie library is there, but I can't see past "Today" in Time Machine. Any help on how I can access my old files will be most appreciated.
