Bridge will not Open a File in Photoshop

Yesterday my Bridge stopped opening files. I have to go to the file folder once I know the file name and open it the old fashioned way. Anyone know if there is a secret code to get it to open files again?
This morning I went to the downloads and downloaded the latest Bridge update, but it did not debug it.
Even when you go to Bridge> File> Open, nothing happens.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem. I had been using a trial version of Photoshop CS2 and Bridge worked fine when double clicking it opened files. I then upgraded to PS2 from Ver 3.0 I am a switcher. I installed my new Photoshop CS2 with phone support from Adobe. They had me delete ps2 trial version. I have also running a copy of Adobe Creative Suite CS student version. It still works when double clicking browser. I have not changed any Mac settings. I am using a G5 with 1 gigabytes RAM.
After using I noted immediately , that Bridge didn't resemble what I had seen in the trial version. It also did not open my files from Bridge to Photoshop when double clicking.
I called Adobe today. He had me delete all my settings for PS2 and shift command opt right after double clicking Bridge to reset something or other. He would not wait to see if it worked. he told me my problem had to do with file associations and it was beyond free tech suport. get off phone or give him a credit card. well. it still preforms as before. I cannot open a file from Bridge unless i use the finder and open with...and this only works for the one individual file. I can see no preference setting in finder nor in Bridge relating to assigning Bridge to open to ps2 upon double clicking. He told me...when i double click my Mac doesn't know if I am trying to view or edit. So it doesn't go to PS2. For god sake, I bought PS2 to edit of course if I am in it and click the Bridge icon or go to Bridge from the Dock I am intending to go to PS2. I have no other app to go to in the CS2 arena.
aside; how can i get from ps2 to any of my Creative Suite apps, say InDesign???

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

CS5 Bridge will not open, Air will not install, and AAM Updater will not update. Please help!

I am having several problems with CS5, and as best I can tell they all seem to be related. I purchased CS5 about a month ago. Photoshop has opened and ran fine. However, recently AAM notified me some several updates available. When I tried to update them they all failed. This lead to the discovery that Bridge will not open at all, Air installs but with an error and cannot update itself or applications like Adobe Help, and since the AAM updater ran it now thinks everything is up to date.
I have search endlessly for every piece of information I could find on this issue. As well as, sat on the phone with tech support for hours. As best I can tell, (and really I have no evidence to support me), it seems to all be related to a permissions issues. However, I have tried everything the forums suggested with no luck, and Tech Support ended with me doing an Uninstall and reinstall (twice), while repairing permissions in-between. I am about at the end of the road with this issue and would greatly appreciate any additional suggests you could offer.
Some additional details.
Running a MBP i7, 8GB RAM, and MAC OSX 10.6.4
Bridge Issue,
     When attempting to launch Bridge it simply returns an error "This operation could not be completed..." I tried the option click and reset method, no luck.
Air Issue,
     Kind of works, but at the same time doesn't. In that in one of the previous installations programs like Adobe Help would not run. Now Help does run, however, when I go to update Air it says it completed successfully but then immediately gives me an error saying "~this may not be allowed by the administrator..." I also cannot update Adobe Help, it just sits and says preparing to update.
AAM Updater Issue,
     This appeared to work fine until I attempted to install an update. It downloaded everything and then failed on the install. However, now it thinks everything is up to date, but nothing is.

Well despite not getting much love on this forum. I was able to correct the problem. I tried every solution that google would produce on these issues. Ultimately it came done to permission issue. I was lead to this fix by a person on flickr that suggested permissions as the cause. However, his solution was to modify the permissions in the home directory root and apply them to every subsequent folder in the home directory. Although quick and easy, I felt this would lead to more trouble then it was worth.
I did some more digging and what I discovered is that all the permission of the Adobe folders in the home directory library (not the HD library) and the application folder did not match all the other folders in those areas. Some of the files in some of the folders did not match either. So I made them match (the ones that matched I left alone), and everything seemingly went back to working normally. It was a bit of a pain going folder by folder. Fortunately there where not many of them. About 8 in total, plus the internal folders.

Mac CS6 Bridge will not open

I know this has been discussed a lot on the forums and I have read all of those, but I am frustrated after 3 weeks of working on this. I bouht my wife Photoshop CS6 for xmas and loaded on our iMac running 10.8.2. She was running Elements 8. CS6 Bridge will not open. Get a message "operation can not be completed". It will also not open from inside Photoshop either. Following other posts, went into Library and deleted switchboard folder, plist files, and other listed files. Did an option start on CS6 and reset to factory, delete thunbnails. Performed PRAM and disk permissions repair. None of this has fixed the problem. The only thing that works is creating a new user account. Bridge opens fine in my test account. Next step is to make test account the main account; however, this is going to be a pain. Any other ideas before I undertake this?

Looks like you have tried all the suggested methods, so good job on that. Your solution to create a new account is one that has worked for many where nothing else has worked. This usually means some permission or default setting has not been affected by your actions.
The only suggestion I can offer is to uninstall CS6, run Adobe Script Cleaner, then reinstall. Hope this works.

Bridge will not open after update.

Adobe Updater did its update and now Bridge will not open. The message is:

I have had to uninstall Photoshop, reinstall photoshop, and then all is well until the Adobe Updater gets going then bang! No more Bridge. The below is the first part of the Apple report.

Routine maintenance is imperative.
I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.
====
Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
Also, from:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE:
There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.

Installed up-dates and now Adobe Bridge will not open

Installed new up-dates for Photoshop CC and now Bridge will not open?

HI Michael,
You can now install older versions of Adobe products straight from Creative Cloud Desktop. (Version 1.6.0.393)
Choose 'Previous Version' in the Apps filter as shown above and then Chose Bridge 6.0 for Bridge.

CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help.

CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help. Also, I tried to just "update" photoshop and it did not work. It is a new camera (Nikon 1).

Yes, you need CS6. DNG Converter is just a standalone tool to convert RAW to DNG files which then may be possible to open in older versions of Adobe tools.

PS will not open .cr2 files

PC crashed. After re-install my CS3 version of Bridge and PS will not open .cr2 files whereas they did open theses files prior to crash. Lightroom still able to open same files. Please guide me to answer as am doing wedding for daughter's friend in 2 weeks and now am sweating bullets. Is it drivers, camera (Canon 50D) or something else?
TIA

The Camera Raw plug-in does not follow the rules of computer literacy.
I should have advised you to read the instructions on the download page.
You have to delete or move out the original plug-in from:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
And then place the downloaded version 4.6 in there.
It will not overwrite the old one, which has to go!
(To be certain of success, do a search for other instances of the file Camera Raw.8bi and delete them.)

PSE 9 suddenly will not open pse files - due to "program error"

The program was working fine yesterday and now suddenly will not open pse files created yesterday or today. The error message reads "could not complete action due to program error." Am I going to need to deactivate and reinstall - and if so, how do I do that? Will I lose all brushes loaded into presets, all files currently unable to be opened if I do that?

I have the same or at least similar issue - When try
ing to open a Photoshop Elements 9 slideshow I get this message
"This application has requested the Runtime
to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact
this application's support team for further assistance" I first saw this problem today - can't think of why now. I've had the program since last Christmas.
I sure would like a solution as I'm in the midst of a project with it.

Safari will not open pdf files.

Safari will not open pdf files, instead I get a blank grey screen. How can I get a viewable and downloadable screen/file? Tried Alt/Option to view and it doesn't work either. Firefox and Chrome will not work either.

For Mac check the Safari preferences.
General to set the options for opening links from applications.
Tabs to set the other options.
Hold down the command key to open any link in a new tab.
Sorry, gave up windows several years ago.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?
