Bridge will not open in CS6

I'm using win7 with plenty of memory. I had PS CS and upgraded to a complete new version of cs6 extended. I loaded it and the ps program works fine. However the Bridge program will not start. I've tried both programs even from the exe file and nothing. It will not run. Any help out there?

Adobe Bridge will not open (with CS6 Extended)

I Installed a student version of CS6 Extended a couple weeks ago and I have used Bridge with it a few times but all of a sudden it wont open. Photoshop opens perfect but bridge doesnt even come up with any error messages...just nothing. Can any one help me? Please? Thank you

Try resetting preferences. Hold down Crtl key (option on mac) and start Bridge. Should get a reset window.

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 upgrading Reason: Incompatible library version OSX 10.6.8

I decided I would upgrade Bridge CC today, and it turns out that was a very bad idea. I have a ton of work and Bridge will not open. I can't revert back to the older bridge CC.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Reason: Incompatible library version: dvanet requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 6.0.0

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.

Bridge will not open after update.

Adobe Updater did its update and now Bridge will not open. The message is:
The Application Bridge CS3 quit unexpectedly.
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.
Any ideas??? Im running 10.5.5 10gigs of ram, on a 8 core Mac.

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.

I upgraded from PS5 to PS 6 and Bridge will not open in RAW, AMT Failure, also will let me update

I upgraded from PS5 to PS 6 and Bridge will not open in RAW, AMT Failure, also will not let me update and closes Bridge down.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times and still no success. Any suggestions?

What system are you on? Did you run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool inbetween your install attempts? If not, try that to produce a "clean" install with factory defaults. Other than that there could be some specific system issues at play, but again, we'd need to actually know what system you are on...

Bridge will not open

I just re-installed CC apps on a new hard drive. All seem to be starting fine except for Bridge. When I start Bridge I get an error that says "The Operation Could Not Be Competed" I am paying 50 freaking dollars a month for this stuff. I expect it to work. If you are an Adobe Forum moderator, send a solution. I don't like paying money every month for software that does not work.

Ok. My apologies. The incident came at the end of a long and very trying day. My frustrations came out. I am sorry. Here is more information:
Mac Pro Early 2008
OS X 10.8.5
Processor: 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
16 GB Ram
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
My primary hard drive recently failed and had to be replaced- so I am in the process of reinstalling apps. The other Adobe apps have installed without problems. Bridge installed OK, (or at least it seemed to), but will not open. I just get the message documented above, "The Operation Could Not Be Performed". I am not aware that I am getting any crash log, unless there is a place where crash logs are stored and I do not know about it.
If there is more technical information needed let me know. I will try to get it.
Again, I apologize for my earlier frustrations. Bad day yesterday.

CS3 Bridge will not open on G5 quad and 10.5.2

Yesterday I installed 10.5.2 on my MacBook Pro and G5 quad. Once I got all my photoshop updates in order on the MacBook Pro both Photoshop and Bridge appear to work fine.
However, on my quad, which was up-to-date on Photoshop and Bridge, Bridge will not start up; it merely bounces on the dock for a bit and then even that stops and Bridge never opens up. Photoshop appears to be working fine.
On a Apple Mac forum it was suggested I look at version cue, but I do not want to go there without asking for more advice. I am afraid to make a big mess out of things.

Try asking in the Bridge forum.
Also see if it works in a new user.

Bridge will not open after Mac OSX update

Hi, I updated to Mac OSX 10.9.5 yesterday, and now Bridge CC will not open. What should I do?

I'm not familiar with Lr, not having used it since trying it and thoroughly hating it when I tried when it first came out, but… I'm not quite clear what you mean by "open in Bridge".
Bridge doesn't "open" anything, so I suspect you mean open in Adobe Camera Raw hosted by Bridge. Bridge is just a file browser, and as such it doesn't open, edit, manipulate or save anything; it just hands the file(s) to the appropriate application, whether that be Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), Adobe Illustrator, InDesign or even something like MS Word.
Perhaps you need to re-establish the file association at the OS X level. What happens when you bypass Lr altogether and just double-click on a raw file in the Finder?

I still have CS5 Extended on my Mac for the time being, and Bridge won't open with either program. Not sure what to do to fix. Anyone have a similar issue and a fix? Thanks.
