Bridge sometimes won't show jpg thumbnails

Sometimes when saving a photo from ACR as a JPG, Bridge won't show the thumbnail. It seems a random thing for some show and others don't. If I click on the thumbnail it will open in PSCC. Then save as a TIFF and it shows. If I change it back to a JPG, then it shows up. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
Sue

It is a cache problem. If it happens again choose the thumb icon and with right mouse click menu choose 'purge cache for selection' then it will build a new thumb and it shows correctly.
If it happens in one folder choose the folder and in menu tool / cache choose 'purge cache for folder'.
If happening on multiple folders even a purge of central cache is needed either in preferences or on start up holding down option(Mac) or control (Win) key and choose this option from the menu that shows.

Indesign CS4 in Mac 10.6.8, sometimes won't show files, sometimes won't show tools

Indesign CS4 in Mac 10.6.8, sometimes won't show files, sometimes won't show tools. Like I click to open a file from the finder, and Indesign makes that temporary file in the finder, but won't display the pages. At other times I can have the pages displayed but I can't open the tools such as the colour swatches or the paragraphy styles. This all happens at random, although I suspect it is more likely to happen if I have been working in some other program such as Typestyler or Aperture, and come back to Indesign. Kind of like Indesign gets snooty at me working in another program.
I've done the thing of dicing the preferences, but so far the only workaround that has worked so far is quitting and restarting the program. I don't remember this happening so much until recently, in other words the problem seems to be getting more frequent.
But I am wondering if this has happened with anyone else and if there are any other suggestions for avoiding it.
Back in the good old days you would reinstall PageMaker and that would settle things for a while. But now I don't know if a program like Indesign CS4 actually gets corrupted and if it does I don't know what to do. Does the program get corrupted? And should you reinstall a fresh copy? If it's a good idea to reinstall the program how do you do that? Is it possible to download a fresh copy? And if I do, what happens when the fresh copy phones home? I've tangled with the Adobe Microsoft corporation before when Indesign phoned home and got a crossed line.

Other things to try:
Examine your specific version of Optima by going to Type menu > Find Font, clicking on the Optima font and choosing More Info (I think) and find the specific version number. See if you can uninstall the font and reinstall another Optima font with a different, preferably newer version number. There has (historically) been a bad version of Optima floating around for years. Maybe you have it.
Use a free utility like FontNuke or FontFinagler to get your Mac OS to reset its font plists. Sometimes that makes the OS feel better.
Use the built-in Disk Utility to repair file permissions. You never know.
Export your old document out to IDML and reopen that resulting idml file back into a new freshly written INDD file. This might remove internal database corruptions.
All these are chicken-soup things to try and they might be good for you.

Bridge won't show jpg's

Bridge do now show jpg's on my Smart phone.
PS can open them and if I copy them to my HD, Bridge can show them.
I really hope that sometime before I die I will experience a week without problems with Adobe software. But I am 66, so I guess I won't

graverholt,
You are not addressing Adobe here in these user forums.
in this particular user forum we deal with Bridge on desktop and laptop computers. I'm pretty sure the Adobe Touch applications forums can handle your question. Look for an appropriate forum for those in the forums directory.

Cover Flow won't show JPG preview, only generic JPG icon

Hello,
For some reasons, I don't see JPGs in Cover Flow mode. I can see them in Quick Finder no problem.
I tried the following and toggle the on/off the feature without success: Go to Finder, open a window, and click View>Show View Options. From there, CHECK "Show Item Preview," then click "Use as Defaults."
I exported photos from iPhoto into my desktop but I get the same result. Only generic jpg icon.
BTW, PDFs are fine, excel, word are all fine....
Any idea?

A reboot solved the problem.
I guess this is the workaround for now...

Bridge cs6 won't display .flv thumbnails??

any suggestions? It appears adobe doesn't offer any help...

How much homework have you done on this issue to narrow down the problem? Perhaps using one of the older formats? Perhaps the header is causing problems with generating a thumbnail?
Here are some excerpts from flv open source website http://osflash.org/flv. Hope they are relevant.
It is possible to place H.264 and AAC streams into the traditional FLV file, but Adobe strongly encourages everyone to embrace the new standard file format. There are functional limits with the FLV structure when streaming H.264 which couldn't be overcome without a redesign of the file format. This is one of the reasons Adobe is moving away from the traditional FLV file structure. Specifically dealing with sequence headers and enders is tricky with FLV streams. Adobe is still working out if it's possible to place On2 VP6 streams into the new file format.
Video needs to be in H.264 format only. MPEG-4 Part 2 (Xvid, DivX etc.) video is not supported, H.263 video is not supported, Sorenson Video is not supported. A lot of pod casts are still using MPEG-4 Part 2 so do not be surprised if you do not see any video.

Keyframe Caddy Pro won't show Load Thumbnail Option

And I can't downgrade to Keyframe Caddy because I'm using Flash CC 2014. Is there a fixable reason that Keyframe Caddy Pro isn't working? I'm also using a Mac, so I can't use the Windows patch...

You'll probably need to contact whoever develops the software to find out what might be wrong.

7d CR2 files won't show in Bridge CS4

I've run updates through Photoshop and Bridge trying to get my 7D photos to show as thumbnails in Bridge. They simply won't show and I can't find a way to make them show. When I try and open a CR2 file, the image opens in ACR 5.7, which i know isn't the latest version, but when I try to run updates again, it tells me there are no updates to install. Help!

…I found my CS4 had ACR v5.2...so I downloaded the v5.6 update…
You should be running ACR 5.7, not 5.6.
All updates to ACR contain unannounced, unpublished bug fixes and improvements, not just support for new cameras. You should always run the latest version of ACR your version of Photoshop supports.

Bridge CS3 Stopped showing NEF thumbnails

I use a Nikon, formerly a D70, now a D90. I always shoot in raw and JPEG. I have had Bridge CS3 on my iMac for about a year and a half with no problem. About a week ago it stopped displaying NEF thumbnails. I just see the NEF icon. I can open the NEF images, and JPEG images show as thumbnails. To my knowledge I have not changed anything, although my son sometimes changes some settings. I have my computer set to automatically download updates. Reviewing the threads in this forum I see some similar problems, but not this one. Anybody have an idea?

I have ACR 4.6.030. I do not see a 4.7 on the ACR updates. The next appears to be 5.1, which is for CS4, no CS3. I appreciate your input. If you have any other ideas I would be interested. I still have not been able to get it to work. Very odd, since I had always been able to see NEF thumbnails, taken both by the D70 and D90.

In Bridge CS6 when I view a jpg thumbnail color loss

In Bridge CS6 when I view jpgs as a thumbnail and also when selected to single viewing, the colors wash out. They do not in raw or psd versions of the same photo. They look fine in windows picture viewer and I saved them to my website and they were fine, bridge is the only place they look washed out. How do I fix that?

That means that those JPEGs are untagged, meaning they do not have an embedded color profile. In the case of untagged files, Bridge assumes the image was created in the sRGB color space. Obviously, your files must have been created in a different color space but Bridge can't tell which color space that was because you stripped the profile when saving the JPEGs.

Can anyone help me as to why my raw files in bridge are not showing as thumbnails as they normally do . I can seem to fix it

CS3 Bridge won't show CR2 previews

I just re-installed CS3...and now Bridge won't show the CR2 previews...it's just the CR2 icon and when I try to open it up I get a message in CS3 that says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." ? I've been using CS3 for the past year and have had no previous problems with this particular issue. The other thing is that when I tried to update Bridge it said that it couldn't complete all the downloads.
Would appreciate the help...I'm getting frustrated

I'm not sure whether that just happened to me or not...so I updated Bridge and now it works!
1. Before installing the ACR plug-in you must completely remove the old one.
Follow the instructions exactly or it won't work!
2. It only goes in one place and is used by both PS and Bridge.
3. This table shows you what's covered by what version:

Since installing CS6, jpg thumbnails viewed in Bridge lack color depth and contrast. When opened in

Since installing CS6, jpg thumbnails viewed in Bridge lack color depth and contrast. When opened in Photoshop, the color and depth is normal. How can I correct the issue in Bridge? I have emptied my Cache and that has not corrected thed issue. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Unless using embedded thumbs, you need to set your ACR defaults, and make uncheck auto settings in preferences/camera raw.

JPG won't show since 11.5

Hi,
Our slideshow player cannot show jpg file anymore since this new version of Flash. SWF can be read and shows up but when it loads a jpg everything stop and nothing is shown. Everything works fine in a projector, directly from Flash Pro. or when I double click on the SWF. Here is an example of a slideshow with 1 jpg and 1 swf. The jpg loads first and then it stop : http://bv.promo.smiiws.com/
Thank you

Issue unfortunately in public release: 11.5.502.110 for explorer, firefox.
It may depend on what jpg format, if you saved it with paint shop pro, photoshop or else softwares?

Bridge CS4 won't output to pdf multiple images with same filename

Hiya...my googling efforts have thus far failed!
I've got CS4, and in Bridge, I created a New Smart Collection to find all filenames in a folder containing "." or ".jpg" - which in turn searched through all the subfolders like what you used to be able to do in Photoshop CS3. Very simple stuff, but all the images are jpg's, but in multiple folders (I don't want to move them out of the folders, as the files came from an external source, and there are heaps of folders, and I don't want to pdf each subfolder seperately as it will take forever).
The problem is that some of the files have the same filenames (again I'd prefer not to rename, as it happens a lot on this project, and they are all over the place). So whilst Bridge will show the thumbnail images correctly in the content tabbed screen in my New Smart Collection, but once I've done the Output to PDF thing, for example, instead of showing both different images it has pdf only the first image but repeated it twice. And this happens multiple times throughout the pdf, the more times the same filename is used, the more times the first image gets repeated.
I know that it is messy to have multiple similar filenames, but why can't bridge just place the image anyway? It allocated a space for it on the pdf and does show it in bridge, it just doesn't seem to survive the transfer to pdf well.
The only other thing that I have done is use the below link (which was posted on another adobe forum thread) to create a custom pdf output template (nothing too fancy, just number of rows / columns, size, font etc). But I've tried using the standard bridge templates and it does the same thing.
http://www.proficiografik.com/2009/08/03/save-custom-pdf-output-template-in-adobe-bridge-c s4.html
Any help would be appreciated...even if to tell me that I am being unreasonable!
UPDATE 16/11/09
Just to let you know that I seem to have resolved the bug inadvertently with one of the Adobe updates. The below is the link for the AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip which was released on 2/19/2009 - which allows for headers & footers to be placed in the Ouput pdf. I finally installed it today, and everything seems to be working fine now (i.e. I can pdf multiple images with the same filenames and the pdf will actually show each different image rather than repeating only 1 of the images).
Must have been a fix installed in the contact sheet templates that get installed with the update - not sure why the original version was corrupted, but I've left that with the Adobe guys (I submitted a bug report - and they were able to replicate the problem but hadn't fixed it as yet).

When I click import from disc I am asked to choose a disc and then I get this message:
The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the catalog. To see these photos in the catalog select 'Show in Library' (the import will be canceled).
This is followed by a long list of images. If I click 'Show in Library' I can see all the images with the same filename. And then they start to automatically write over those images with images from the disc. However they keep the same metadata and keywords from the previous images. If I click on Import and deselect the "don't reimport suspected duplicates" box, it imports only the images that don't share filenames and none of the images that do.
Is there a way of setting the "Don't reimport suspected duplicates" box in preferences?
