Bridge will not launch from Illustrator CC

I am having issues with launching Bridge in Illustrator and After Effects. I have to manually launch it with the icon.

In preferences check to see it there are startup scripts for the app and if so see if they are checked. If no startup scripts they apps not made to communicate with each other.

Bridge will not launch in Mac OSX 10.6.8

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard (Mac OS) works fine except for Bridge which will not launch from Photoshop or from Applications, after 2 Uninstall/Reinstalls,and same attempts with new user account. Can anyone help?

Hi Gannett,
You are right. A couple of years ago, I had transferred all MacBook contents (including Photoshop Elements) to a new iMac. A freeze up of the new computer resulted (at Apple's suggestion) in using the old user account (from the MacBook). When I installed the Adobe Creative Suite this fall, Bridge would not launch. After days of frustrating troubleshooting and searching the web in vain, the case with Adobe escalated to Level 3; I spent over 4 hours on the phone with an Adobe expert (in Manila!) before this was solved by creating a new virgin account created (with nothing except the basic iMac software and the Adobe Suite on it. Gun shy of any further adjustments or migrations, I decided to keep the new user account strictly for my Creative Suite work. End of problem. Thanks for getting back to me, and Merry Christmas!

CS3 Bridge will not launch tried 'ctrl' icon doesn't work.

Adobe Bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
this is the message I get when i try to launch Adobe Bridge -
I called tech support & although I've spent $$$ for master collection CS3 - and so many other adobe programs/software for myself & others.. they are unwilling to offer any support other than a paid issue, which really chafes.
so here I am, throwing seeds into the wind hoping i can get back to work after wasting a nother day with this this.
there is no phantom instance of Bridge.
I have a wacom tablet. I cannot get to any 'preferences' screen with any combination of ctrl, alt, ****..
Bridge will not launch.
Help please? thanks

Curt Y answered this in another thread;
If you can not get the reset window, you are doing something incorrectly.
1. Bridge has to be closed. Check the Task Manager to make sure no copy is running in the background.
2. You have to press and HOLD the Crtl key when you click on the start icon for Bridge.
3. If successful you will get a reset window with 3 options.
in this thread;
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2735898#2735898
the key point is step 2 HOLD... this is nowhere else in the forums..
so, again, thanks to Curt Y for the answer/
I checked all three boxes & Bridge did launch. Why is this so obscure.. and why could tech support just tell me that..
oh well.
again. thanks.

Bridge will not launching on PS CS4

I have windows XP. Bridge will not launch for CS4. We have tried to restore to a previous version, uninstalled and installed the program. Restored the previous versions of my plug in software. Bridge still wont launch. I can still gain access to my images through the control on the dropdown menu to open. Bridge is just a lot faster and more convenient. If anyone has any suggestions are can help that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Bridge CS4 has a Open at login option where it will open when you launch Windows. It will be in the system tray.
In Bridge:
Edit>Preferences>Advanced, "Start Bridge at logon" then restart Windows.
If that fails see if anyone in the Bridge forum can help. Bridge General Discussion

PSE 12 Bundled w/ Intuos 5 Tablet Downloads Fine But Will Not Launch From Intuos Site or Disc

I bought an Intuos 5 tablet last month. It came bundled with PSE 12. The tablet works excellant and I use it with CS6 100% of the time. I did not load PSE12 from the Intuos supplied PSE disc because I use CS6.
I have another computer that I use for photo editing and I loaded the Intuos onto it but since I don't have CS6 on it, I was going to load PSE12.
WRONG!!!!
PSE will not "Launch" via cd or Intuos website download of program.
I am running Windows XP(which is running CS6 fine), Win 7 on 2 other computers, 1 with CS6 and CS5, the other nothing...no photoediting sw at all. Hence adding PSE12.
I cannot get any phone or email support from Adobe on PSE12. Intuos engineers have no idea what is wrong either with their site download or cd version. But will not call Adobe for help.
Here are some of the errors.
After PSE is loaded and it asks "Do You Want To Launch?": I click ok and
It goes to a screen asking do I want to Uninstall PSE12?
If I go to the exe. file and click....I get numerous errors as follows:

Why won't post allow me to add "attachment"??

Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch from it's tile in windows 8

Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch(open) from it's tile in windows 8,if I restart the computer then try it, it launches. but once I close the program and try to launch it agian from the tile it won't launch (open)
What going on ?

You might unpin (Unpin from Start) the photoshop elements 10 shortcut from the start screen and then go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10 and right click on the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and choose Pin to Start.
And/or if you want an shortcut on the actual desktop you can use Send to>Desktop (create shortcut)
Perhaps the shortcut directly to the pse 10 editor will work better when using the start screen.

IChat will not launch from my brand new iMac - What do i need to do?

Just purchased a brand new iMac 24". Really nice machine except that iChat will not launch. I click on the icon but it just bounces once and does nothing. Any ideas what i need to do please?

Hi deano68,
Very odd.
OK I think we have at least one app that has not installed properly.
It could also be that a Font is missing. Certain Apple Apps will not launch if Helvetica is not active in the Font Book.
There are two ways to reinstall the Application.
Both are listed here in Ryan's FAQ.
Both methods require that you download the Combo Install and run that as well.
This catches all the iChat Updates that come with OS updates so that iChat and the OS are at the same level.
You might want to try the Combo Update on it's own first before the Reinstall as it often sorts things.
The link in the FAQ to downloads may not work now since the Apple Site has been reorganised.
They are now here http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/

Adobe Bridge will not launch

Hello,
I’d be very grateful if you could help me please.
I have recently purchased Adobe Photoshop CS6 (from Amazon). I have installed it, but Bridge has only installed as 32bit, and this 32bit installation will not run. (Photoshop has installed as 32 and 64bit - I run 64bit on Windows 7.) When I try to launch Bridge my cursor spins for a second or two and then absolutely nothing happens. I have tried updating it from Adobe's site, but it has not made any difference.
Kind regards,
Ails123

I would be suspicious of the disk if Bridge only comes in 32 bit mode. Call Adobe and see if the serial number is legit.

HT203175 my itunes will not launch from desktop keeps saying not installed properly despite having uninstalled and reinstalled many times

anybody got any ideas ??? won't launch from desktop

Thanks. I read that link before posting here but I wasn't able to do the first part because iTunes will not ever open for me to start it in Safe mode.
Since I posted yesterday, "something" I did must have worked (but I don't know what exactly because I think I didn't do anything). But iTunes just randomly appeared on the system tray yesterday afternoon. It wouldn't open by clicking on it, so I tried to Ctl-Alt-Del to close it, thinking I'd at least get some errors to view in the log, but then about a half hour after I had tried to close it through Ctl-Alt-Del, it actually opened. It still doesn't recognize my iPhone 4S though. If I get that to start working I'll update again.

Windows server 2012 r2 vm will not launch from RemoteApp & Desktop connection page

I have setup a RDS test lab and created a un-managed pooled collection which has a server 2012 r2 desktop vm and a windows 8.1 desktop vm. I can launch the windows 8.1 vm through RDWeb access page but I can not launch the server 2012 r2 vm. Can a server
2012 r2 vm be brokered through the connection broker and launched from RDWeb?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Does server 2012 R2 VM created succefully and can you access through remote session (not through RD Web Access)?
If possible for a try create a new VM and check the related setting with new user account and then access them whether it resolve your issue. you can refer below article to create VDI.

Hope it helps!

CS6 Bridge Will Not Launch

My problem is that Bridge won't open or give any errors. It just gets hung up in the background and never opens. Seems to have started happening when I upgraded to the latest 10.10.2.
CS6
Mac OS 10.10.2
Mac mini (Late 2012)
I've uninstalled and reinstalled CS6 many times without any luck.
Also, created new user with no luck.
Photoshop launches fine.
ACR will launch files that were specifically Exported by Bridge which were worked in ACR in the past.
Tried starting holding option to disengage prefs, didn't work.

Hi,
Is this happening with Mini bridge or bridge or with both ?
In either case, try this :
1. restart machine
2 launch bridge directly
If its launched then try to close and then launch PS CS 6 and then try to launch Bridge from there.
Hope it helps !! As we would need more details for this issue.
Thanks,
Baljeet

Safari will not launch from Dock but will launch if I open it from an email

I recently reinstalled my operating system and Safari worked fine for a day. Went to open it from the Dock today and it would not open. Click on link in an email and it opens and works fine. Have trashed the preferences file. What else should I do. The crash report has the below for the last entry when it doesn't open. Can I trash that?
9753c000 /System/Library/Frameworks/DirectoryService.framework/Versions/A/DirectoryServi ce

Hi Mike,
No, do not trash that file.
Quit Safari if it's open.
Locate this file. com.apple.launchservices.plist
~/Library/Preferences.
Drag that file to the Desktop.
Try to launch Safari from the Dock.
If that does not work, drag the Safari icon up off the Dock. It will go poof. (not a technical approach but that's what it does). Now go to your Applications folder and launch Safari from there. If it opens as it should, select the Safari icon in the Dock / Keep In Dock.
If you still have problems with Safari, go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Open the Internet Plugins folder. If there are files there, delete them.
To empty the cache memory go to the Safari menu and click 'Empty Cache'.
To Reset Safari go to the Safari menu and click 'Reset Safari". Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
