Bridge won't open some tiff & jpg files in RAW

Most of the time bridge opens tiffs and jpgs in camera raw, but sometimes it won't for certain images. Anyone know a workaround?

I also run into this weird problem. It happens on a random basis.
Today I scanned a slide twice.
Here's some info for each file:

Using Bridge v2.1.1.9 and Camera Raw v4.31
In Bridge, this 04_ms-48.tif file will NOT open in Camera Raw.
In Bridge, this 05_ms-48.tif file WILL open in Camera Raw.
The only difference between the two files is the size. The 05_ms-48.tif is smaller by 132 bytes...
In Silverfast, I think a slight change in density was made. This should not cause a rejection by Bridge!
Each file is 153 MB. I'm willing to send these 2 files to anyone who can perhaps find the difference...

Mac Pro/Bridge won't open 5DIII imported CR2s in Camera Raw, from desktop. Updates are current. WTF?

I have a Canon 5D Mark III and also just got the Mac Pro. Everything worked fine on my old iMac with CS6. I just put the software on the Mac Pro and made all the updates; none of the CR2 files will open in camera raw. The JPEGs are showing up with thumbnails, and open in photoshop, but the CR2s are not doing anything but showing a bunch of CR2 thumbnail icons and when I try to open one, it gives me this stupid irritating error message (image below). Will someone please help me get camera raw working on my mac pro? I've done everything Adobe's stupid website has told me to do. I can't express in words how infuriating this is. I am starting to hate Adobe. I've spent way too much money for this to be happening.

CS6 shipped with Adobe Camera Raw 7.0.
Camera Raw supported the 5D Mark III from version 7.1.
I suspect that your Camera Raw is not up to date.
You can manually install Camera Raw 8.3 if you download it from

ACR 6.3RC still makes Bridge display some TIFFs & JPGs overexposed

I had the same problem with TIFFs & JPGs after upgrading from ACR 6.1 to 6.2. My system is Win 7x64 and, of course, PsCS5 and Bridge 4.0.39. This time the upgrade was from ACR 6.1 to 6.3RC. Not all images are affected. The problem seems to be entirely random. The amount of overexposure seems to be in the order of 1 to 2 stops. The problem is limited in this way for me:
1. All the affected images display correctly exposed when opened in Ps and ACR 6.3RC (and ACR 6.2) hosted by Bridge.
2. Only TIFFs & JPGs (both B&W and Colour) "derived" ultimately from original TIFF scans (both B&W and Colour) made on a Nikon SuperCoolscan 5000 ED are affected. The original TIFF scans (99.99% are 16-bit) are all unaffected.
3. The problem does not occur with any TIFF or JPG file derived from native CRW or NEF raw files or from native JPG files produced in-camera (Canon EOS 300D and Nikon D700), all of which are themselves unaffected.
4. It does not matter were you might be in an image editing process. Some intermediate edits to TIFFs (I never make intermediate JPG edits) are affected, others are not. Editing might start with the TIFF and continue with edits to the TIFF, and only some of the subsequent TIFFs (or final JPGs derived from them) are affected. For example, there might be 6 distinct edits to a TIFF and only edits 3 through 6 are affected. Editing might procede immediately from the original TIFF scan to PSD, finalise with PSD, and then, AND sometimes only, any TIFF or JPG made from the final, flattened PSD produces a file which Bridge will display overexposed. Only some files in a batch of scans, all made at the same time and under exactly the same conditions (almost always with no adjustments made with the Nikon scanning software), are ever affected - never all of them.
5. Some of the edits to the original TIFF scans (where the edits were kept as TIFFs) were made with Picture Window Pro, some with Lightroom 1.3 (I think), some with ACR 4.x, ACR 5.x, but most were made with PS CS3, CS4 and CS5: it does not matter, there are some affected files from each. The problem certainly does occur with files which have never been opened, let alone edited, in any version of ACR.
6. I have several instances where simply making a copy of a TIFF scan in another folder (whether the copy was made by Bridge or with Windows Explorer has no influence) results in the copy only and not the original being displayed overexposed.
7. If a file is affected, all TIFFs AND all JPGs derived from it will be overexposed, never just one or the other.
The overexposure problem detailed above does not occur with ACR 6.1. All the files affected by ACR 6.2 and 6.3RC are displayed with correct exposure by Bridge when ACR 6.1 is installed.
I'm at a complete loss to understand what is going on. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Has anyone else who was experiencing the Bridge/overexposure problem with either ACR 6.2 or 6.3RC found a solution?

This will be posted in both the ACR and Bridge User Forums
I've done some experimentation and found a workaround for, not the solution to, my problem with ACR 6.2 and 6.3RC causing Bridge to display random TIFFs and JPGs overexposed.
This is a temporary, and, if you have lots of affected files, a very laborious, individual file workaround. Unless Adobe investigates, finds and corrects the cause of the problem, it seems likely to re-occur. Only fixing the cause of the problem (which must lie in the new (different from ACR 6.1) code of ACR 6.2 and 6.3RC) could be be truly regarded as a solution.
Here is how I enabled Bridge to display my affected TIFFs and TPGs correctly, that is, with no amount of overexposure. These steps apply equally to B&W and Colour images.
For a 16-bit TIFF, duplicate it in Bridge (Edit/Duplicate) and then open the duplicate in ACR 6.2 or 6.3RC (ACR) hosted by Bridge. Make sure that all the sliders are zeroed in the Main panel and that the Amount slider in the Sharpening section of the Details panel is also set to zero (to avoid unwanted additional sharpening). Then open the image in Photoshop (Ps) and immediately save the image (Save As) over itself (yes, you're replacing the file) back in the folder from which you opened it into ACR, making sure to choose no compression. The resaved duplicate will now be displayed with its proper exposure in Bridge, and any further TIFFs or JPGs (whether 16-bit or 8-bit) derived from this file will also be displayed correctly. Following this procedure, my invariable experience is that I end up with a TIFF either the same size as or smaller than the affected TIFF.
Why no compression? Strangely, if you choose LZW compression (really the only logical alternative to "None") you end up with a larger file than you get with no compression. I have no idea why. Why not simply fix the affected file instead of a duplicate? No reason really, other than safety. If things go belly-up you still have your original, albeit, affected file. I also intend to keep my affected files for awhile just in case of some possible desire or need to re-examine them in the future.
For an 8-bit TIFF, although I don't have any which are affected, the procedure would be the same as for a 16-bit TIFF. You will need to conduct your own tests regarding compression/no compression and the resulting file size.
For a JPG, the procedure is pretty much the same (duplicating, opening in ACR, zeroing all sliders, opening in Ps and then saving over itself) but when saving try choosing Maximum Quality (12) which mostly, for me at least, produces a replacement JPG the same size as the original affected file. Of course, you can choose a greater level of compression if you wish, and my tests show that this will not adversely affect the outcome. You can use the replacement JPG to produce further, derivative 8-bit TIFFs or JPGs and all will display properly exposed in Bridge.

Bridge won't open files

I work on a Mac and recently upgraded to Yosemite. I hate it. It is way too slow. Now Bridge won't open my files. I have purged the cache several times and it just gets worse and worse. Any suggestions?

Problem solved. I reset the preferences and it is working better than ever. Must not have Yosemite's fault.

Bridge won't open my NEF files

I updated my MAC OS to Yosemite and now Bridge won't open NEF files from my Nikon D7100 SD card. I have updated Camera Raw to version 7.1 and am running Photoshop CS6

Bridge won't open raw files from my canon mark iii

Bridge won't open raw files from my canon mark iii? Are you kidding adobe? This camera has been out for over six months. Why isn't it loaded into the program? This camera is sooo main stream!

What Mark III?
Are you referring to the Canon EOS 1D Mark III or the Canon EOS 5D Mark III?
And what version of Adobe software are you referring to?
There definitely is support for the EOS 1D Mark III in in versions of the Creative Suite dating back several versions. Support for the EOS 5D Mark III was made available in an update to Creative Suite 6 and Lightroom 4.x.

Bridge won't open-mac

I just reinstalled CS3 and Photoshop works fine, but bridge won't open. The icon bounces and the dock indicates it is open and force quit is necessary to clear the dock below the icon but bridge won't come up. I updated when I reinstalled, btw.
Do I need to reinstall again?

Hold down the Option key as you launch Bridge, then click the boxes in the dialog box that appears.
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.

ITunes 10.7 won't open some Libraries

I just noticed that iTunes (10.7) won't open some of my libraries. I have 5 that I use for various purposes. The main one with all my music is now grayed out. Only 2 out of the 5 will load, and they are not the most important ones, so I am kind of stuck.
A few weeks ago I upgraded from Leopard 10.5 to Mountain Lion 10.8, then got an iPhone 5, but iTunes worked for a while after the upgrade and I put some songs on the iPhone.
I just got the fix for iPhoto 4.9 which was causing it's own problems, and now iTunes isn't working. (Actually it wasn't working when iPhoto had problems too.)
So what can I do to fix this? Delete my library files and start over just when I had it all set up for the iPhone? And will it happen again?

A valid iTunes library has a file called library.itl The .xml file is a copy in a different format put there by iTunes so other programs can read the library, but itunes itself uses the .itl file. So in essence the folders with no .itl have no library. You can create a blank library by holding down the option key while starting iTunes. Now import the .xml file from one of those orphan libraries.

Bridge won´t open multiple jpegs, claim one or more qualifying products need to be opened first.

I´m using photoshop cs 6, and now bridge won´t open multiple jpeg´s, but claims that one or more qualifying products need to be opened first. What is this?

You can use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and run multiple Firefox instances simultaneously.

I have mountain lion OSX and parallels with Windows. Every time I click on a hyperlink in other applications it opens - some 7 Zip file explorer inside Parallels but doesn't go to Safari. Does anyone know solution?

I suggest that you run software update, after which you should have Safari 6.0.5 - then check Safari - Preferences - Privacy & see that 'Block cookies' is not set to Always.
Failing that - switch Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions & test again

I'm not sure I understand the connection between iCloud and this problem. Is it simply a problem of coincidental timing (ie, the problem happened after you set up iCloud)? If so, there's almost certainly no connection between these two events.
Where are you getting the files you're trying to open, and what specifically happens when you try to open them?

When I try to open some very important files I ge a popup that says "Important" couldn't be opened. The required index.xml file is missing.
