Can't run Adobe Bridge on my new iMac :(

I'm the proud owner of a new iMac and used migration assistant to transfer from my old iMac.
I noticed I couldn't use the same account name with the new machine so I used a slightly different one and didn't think anymore of it.
I downloaded Photoshop CS6 (which includes Bridge) directly to the new machine. Photoshop opens and runs beautifully but Bridge refuses to open at all.
The error message is (a very helpful) 'Operation could not be completed'.
A google told me it was something to do with permissions so I created a new account and voilá, Bridge opens just fine in the new account.
Could anyone help me fix the issue? I made sure the program itself had read/write permissions assigned and I trashed the old Bridge preferences. I've run disk utility and repaired permissions there as well but no joy.
Thanks in advance!

Can't run Adobe accessibility checker on new PC

Hi Jasmin / Jayan / and anyone else,
We have new workstations with newer versions of JAWS installed and can't run the Adobe accessibility checker. The option is disabled. When JAWS is open, can't run Adobe's read out loud feature. Using Win XP Pro, JAWS 11, Designer ES (8.2) and have Acrobat 9 Pro and Reader 9 on workstations. Any ideas?
Thanks

OK, I'm not sure exactly how, but I've managed to fix it.
Shortly after writing that post, I renamed the libraries on each PC, and was then able to see both on my iPhone, but still couldn't see the XP library on my Windows 7 PC.
I had done a soft reset on the wireless router earlier, but I decided to try a complete cold restart - turned off both PCs, and unplugged the power cable to my router, left all off for a few minutes, plugged the router back in, turned my old PC back on, loaded iTunes on that, then turned my new PC back on, at which point some message came on about the firewall, and then loaded iTunes. So I'm syncing now - it's worked!
I guess that's another problem solved by turning it off and back on again!

I can't run adobe bridge cs6. Weeks trying to get Adobe support - no help

I read something about people using cc being able to move a folder from common files to the bridge folder and that fixed their problem. Not so lucky on my end.
It's been 4 weeks, something like the equivalent of 5 - 7 DAYS on hold, never reaching anyone who actually knew how to fix this.
I had cs6 properly installed for a couple of weeks on my win7 desktop and my win8 laptop (both 64 bit). Then out of the blue, bridge just stopped working.
Although I've done everything I've been told -- uninstalled, run cc cleaner from adobe, reinstalled. Done that multiple times, and once through every folder on the computer to eliminate adobe stuff, then reinstalled and no luck. Tried moving the folder, no luck.
Bridge won't even load - it just gives me an error message and there's no way I can load it. Adobe insisted that I create a new admin and install PS and BR there. It did work, but did not allow me to use my main login and run bridge. So If I want to use bridge + a program other than a CS6 program, I couldn't do it. No help whatsoever.
Please help. I've gotten the case escalated, but adobe never calls or if they do call (they tried once or twice), they don't leave a phone number and they usually call outside the hours you suggest are the best for reaching you. I keep having to start at the beginning, with the low level techies, and after several hours, I can get them to take my number and schedule a call with the escalation / senior team.
I want the CEO or someone to realize how badly they are abusing their "customers". BUT right now I need to get some work done. I don't want to invest the time to set colors for my monitor or do any customization because they'll just ask me to wipe it again anyway.

Hi,
I don't know why there's a problem seeing the content of my original post, but I am logged into the forum, not using email.
When I try to launch bridge, I get an error message that says "Adobe Bridge CS6 stopped working" and the following details:
Problem signature:

Additional Information 4:          ffe33cae3dc9a74a841b6be78d093ff8
Of course, Bridge never actually launches.
As far as the fact that some setting on my computer is incorrect, I'd love to find that magic switch to fix it, but remember that this happened after Bridge was properly installed and working for a couple of weeks after my purchase, and it died on BOTH my win7 desktop and my win8 laptop. Different OS, different hardware, both Dell and both 64 bit.
I've been very careful about having administrator privileges on both computers, and to my knowledge, I didn't install anything new between the time I installed CS6 and the time Bridge died. I'm very slow to update windows, after it wiped my partition and nearly cost me all my data and photos... I research like crazy, and I don't understand this. But I use photoshop and illustrator in combination with other programs so I can't have a situation where I can't be logged in as me using bridge.
Please give me your thoughts - any hints are appreciated... fyi - adobe low level phone tech support has been playing hold music for the last 194 minutes.
Thanks!

Can I run Snow Leopard on the new iMac

Apple is warrantying me a new iMac because I have had many problems with my current machine. It's a late 2008 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 Ghz machine that I have been running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on. I have a lot of software that runs on Snow Leopard.
They will be replacing it with a new 21.5 inch iMac running Mountain Lion which will be released in the next week or two. My plan was to partition the hard drive, keep part of it for my current Snow Leopard and gradually migrate over to Mountian Lion.
Alas, they have told me that the new machines will not run Snow Leopard at all so partitioning is out of the question but that I can set up a "Virtual Computer" that will allow me to run Snow Leopard within the Mountain Lion Structure. This will allow me to still use my older software in a setup not unlike the Classic system that the early OSX used. The tech told me I would have to get some 3rd party software to do this but was not much more helpful.
Im looking for some specific info on what I need to do to keep my Snow Leopard viable on my new machine while I gradually migrate over to Mountain Lion.
thanks,
Rob

Here is a post that I assembled for a similar question:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopar - not available on the newest iMac;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion - not available on the newest iMac;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions, or find alternative software that will open your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:
[click on image to enlarge]
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.
And according to the author, it's not forbidden by the client EULA. Can't say for sure if the same method will work for Mountain Lion, though. He may have updated it here or on MacRumors, but I'm not aware of an update, or whether one is needed.
I do not give legal advice on MacRumors, I do contend that it is a common Urban Myth that the Snow Leopard EULA forbids its virtualization. Further, in the more than one year that I have been offfering my Snow Leopard into Parallels solution, NO ONE has met my challenge during this period of time to show me one, official written statement by Apple that would support the conclusion that Snow Leopard's EULA forbids its virtualization.
The method does work for Mountain Lion, with the proviso of the NOTE above about currently having to do STEP ONE on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac.

Can't run Adobe Bridge

Hello folks.
I've never run Bridge before, was never interested, but a lot of people seem to like it and it came with GoLiveCS2 so I decided to give it a try. It seemed to come up okay, then I immediately got this window.
I have Illustrator, GoLiveCS2, Elements 6 and Elements 7 installed.
Anyone know why Bridge won't run?
I'm using Windows 7 with 3GB of RAM.
Thanks.

There have been some quirky bug reports with CS2 in Windows Vista and 7, likely due to increased security (ala UAC). I think CS2 apps are the last apps Adobe created that were not even signed/certified (also an annoyance with UAC). Adobe's CS2 licensing/protection mechanism might be choking on limited permissions in these newer Windows systems. When I first ran CS2 apps, I would run them as 'administrator' so that they could have full access to write whatever preferences they needed to. After those preferences are set, you can run the apps in normal user mode.
Here's some related discussion. You could alternatively turn off UAC while installing or first running the apps.

I currently run the Design and Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How do I know whether I can install my Adobe programs onto the new computer? Because I know there is some kind of limit.
Also, I had to install the software twice on my same computer before because I had to reboot the computer. I don't know if this affects the limit.

You are allowed to have two activated installations so there should not be a problem having working installations on the two machines. If by chance you have somehow tied up two activations for the one machine you can have Adobe support help resolve that thru chat.

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

How can i apply adobe bridge in my ipad 2?

As when installing an app on a computer, there must be a version for the app that is compatible with the computer and the OS running the computer.
Is there an Adobe Bridge app for the iPad available via the iTunes app store?

Can you run Adobe Photoshop CS version 8 on Yosemite?

Can you run Adobe Photoshop CS version 8 on Yosemite?

Well if you want permanent license Adobe software, here is the price list for the CS6 catalog . Creative Suite 6
Just know that with the exception of Adobe Camera Raw updates, CS6 will have maintenance updates, but not the features of CC 2014.
The rental model called Creative Cloud means you will have the software installed on your Mac and you can work with your files as before, it's just that activation depends on a $50 monthly fee. Upgrades are piped in at no further cost, and you have the freedom to switch platforms and interface languages. You activate on up to two computers, PC, Mac or mixed. 20 GB online storage for collaboration, and you can also store and sync your settings and custom presets. Typekit if you'd like to try new and difference fonts.
Look at it this way, it's not a big deal if you are in business. You rent many things and this is probably not your largest monthly expense.

The lack of security updates requires me to update any old OS. Unless you never connect to anything on the Internet with the computer OR you never have anything to protect on your computer running such a computer leaves you open to theft, fraud, etc. The major problem with Mavericks and soon with OS X.X is unfamiliarity. Sure they have features we don’t like. But I bet so did the one you are running, when you upgraded to it.
Having said that I really got miffed when I was required to update my TV to work with digital signals. I have no trouble telling people to upgrade their computer, but ask me to upgrade my TV those were fighting words.

Adobe Creative Cloud - has anybody had any luck running Adobe CC on a new mac mini? Does it run slow for Photoshop?

Adobe Creative Cloud - has anybody had any luck running Adobe CC on a new mac mini? Does it run slow for Photoshop?

Adobe CC applications are very large and the base Mac mini isn't a good choice because it has only 4GB of RAM and has a slow standard hard drive. To get the most out of ACC you should upgrade the mini to at least 8GB. I'd also choose an SSD or Fusion drive for better performance.

Can I run adobe master collection in a windows partition on a basic mbp 13" with only the intel chipset?

can I run adobe master collection in a windows partition on a basic mbp 13" with only the intel chipset?
I want to install 16 gb ram but I don't think I can change the lack of video card. I wanted this basic machine because it has fairly long battery life. I don't need or want retina at this time. My model is the mid 2012 model. I am running the adobe collection for mac, I want to run the windows versions. Is it possible? What is the most ram I could access using something like fusion 5, assuming I could get fusion 5 to work? would it refuse to run because of the intel chipset and lack of video card?
If I'm wrong and there is a way to add a video card to this model, could some version of fusion and windows 7 access more than 2 gb operating ram?
What cost would I be incurring, and would it be cheaper to buy a windows laptop with more ram than I could access via a virtual machine?
I want to work on a client's work in the windows versions of the creative suite, with occasional usage of after effects for windows, and to use some web plug-ins only available in windows versions, and to try some windows-only video and audio software.
thanks for any suggestions. While many people have told me I can run everything on my macbook, I am concerned about what I think is a limited amount of ram that can be accessed over the virtual machine partition softwares, and I don't know if what I want to attempt is actually possible.
My mbp os is 10.8.2 on a 2.5 GHz intel core i5 4 gb 1600MHz DDR3 with 500 hard drive. the basic 13" mid 2012 machine.
I'm hoping to install 16 G of opertating ram to allow more adobe programs to run concurrently- just when I am working on the mac side.
also, off track but, for years I have wanted a small machine that is more easily portable than my 15" machines. I have only had this used machine for a few weeks, but already I have been very satisfied and used it for presentations at clients. I don't want an air because I really want the dvd burner and player. No matter what apple says about wireless, there are decades of legacy work stored on optical discs all over the world, and I don't want to be unable to open something at a client's office because I don't have a dvd drive. Additionally, I have very large files I want to transfer via ethernet or firewire so that the transfer will take less time and be more secure than wifi. I resist apple's trend to make every machine a disposable toy that is viable only a year or so. I have read reviews that label the mbp it a poor value compared to the air. If all you need to do is text and communicate via wifi, many devices will sufice, and an air is certainly the most elegant. But what about the cost of large ssd's and protecting the drive against damage from shock? I want to be able to move this thing around and the small size is much safer inside my padded bag when I sit in narrow airplane seats, crowded trains and other congested spaces. I am much more likely to be able to borrow a large screen in a client's office ( with the use of one of the three adapters I had to buy) than to be able to borrow a dvd drive that has drivers for mac os 10.8.2. I suspect this may be the last generation of machines that have optical drives and ethernet, and that was why I purchased it so that I could continue to do work into the next few years. I am impressed by the retina display, but I need long battery life. And as beautiful as the retina display is, it is even more of a problem when trying to cross platform with the windows world. I wish I could infuence apple to do a trial product flow for a machine designed to work with 80% of the business world that uses windows. How spectacular that would be. With all their expertise and adept hardware design, to create a machine that cross platforms better than a windows machine itself works? Now that would be an accomplishment. Instead of 8 or 9 percent of the total computer sales, why not aim for a higher percentage? Smart devices will keep moving toward portable computers in power, anyway.

Fusion should work on your machine and if you put 16 GB of RAM in (see http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_160 0MHz_SDRAM), Fusion can access a good portion of that. Also, in a Virtual Machine, the guest OS is presented with Fusion's video card emulation, not what's in hardware on your Mac. Of course, finding Windows 7 now that Win 8 has been released could take some doing and the Win 8 Pro upgrade price is supposed to jump to $200 the end of the month. Add that to the price of Fusion and the extra RAM and you're beginning to get into the realm of low end real PC's.
As to cross platform, I assume you're aware of BootCamp (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461).

Can I delete Adobe Bridge?

I use InDesign CS 5.5. However, I use it ONLY for simple projects like creating a manual to be printed. I do not do anything fancy with it. Can I delete Adobe Bridge? I see this huge 178 GB application plus all of its support folders in my apps folder. I never use it. Can I delete it? If I delete it, will that have any negative impact on using InDesign or Illustrator?

181 Mb (not Gigabytes!) on my system is not that large. The uninstaller for CS5.5 cannot uninstall Bridge. I'd leave it.
It's a very useful utility, you just haven't learned to use it properly.
