Cannot open file from Bridge after saving in Photoshop CS3

I was working on three images in Photoshop CS3, when I went to open them from Bridge for review, two of three files were reduced to tiny white squares with a dogear in the top right corner, a little blue bounding box containing three tinier red green and blue somethings so small I couldn't even see what they were with my jewellery spec.
Nothing happened when I clicked on them, no error message, nothing. I managed to get one of them in 'reveal' - which opened up a larger blue bounded box with the red button containing a cross with the message 'cannot open as not right kind of file'.
What to do please? I don't want to spend hours on an image and hope it will open afterwards. Thankyou.

Thankyou for taking the time to respond. I did notice that I'd forgotten to place a . after the file name and before the extension - ie soiphotopsd, instead of soiphoto.psd, and renamed them and the opened as psds. I would have thought that Photohop CS3 with all it's bells and whistles could have provided a helpful popup/error message to this effect when saving images though!
I still have an old file I haven't been able to open, the icon of which is simply a small blue and white box with the letters pmg on the bottom. I tried to rename the file same as, but nothing seemed to work so far. Will just keep plugin away - forgive the pun.
Thanks again.

Cannot open file from old PC into Firefox

I have a folder from my old PC (that was onWindows 7) that a teccie loaded for me so i could access my old files. However when i locate the folder/file, and double click it, and get the 'You have chosen to open file..' etc box, which has 'Firefox (default) or other (i chose FF) and click ok, i just get the same box come up again as a new tab, and each time i click ok it does the same ad infinitum! How do i actually open a particular file in this folder? many thanks. p.s. i am not very technical so any advice needs to be relatively simple, thanks

What kinds of files are they? Can you see the file extensions? Windows may be hiding those, unhide them using the steps in this Microsoft support article: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions].
If Firefox does not think it can open a file, forcing it to try can create that infinite loop problem. You may be able to remove the dysfunctional association in the Options dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
Or if it can't be found there, you can delete the settings file that Firefox uses to store the associations to return to the default settings for unrecognized files. Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* File menu > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Then you can start Firefox back up again and it should create a fresh mimeTypes.rdf file.

Placing images from Bridge CC breaks Indesign Doc

This seems to be intermittent but it's occuring only when I place images from Bridge to an InDesign document.
I've experienced this bug before with InDesign but now it seems to happen more often when I drag an image from Bridge to an InDesign doc.
After doing this I'm unable to Save the document or undo/redo anything. I know others have experienced this same bug. The only way I was able to fix the document was to close InDesign (and lose any unsaved changes) and then reopen the document. Then I create a new document and move all of the pages of my document to the new doc and resave it. This seems to stop the problem from happening.
This is a serious bug: a) It's hard to pin down what causes it but it seems to be permission related to the document b) there is NO way to recover your unsaved changes, you can't copy your objects to a new document and save it as once the program breaks you can't save ANYTHING.
Has anyone had success permanantly fixing this? Or run into it at all?

Windows or MacOS?
Because in Windows you can circumvent this by using the Explorer. I used to drag 'n drop images (ID CS6) and other files all the time - nothing like your problem so far.

Dragging Files From Bridge CC to File System OSX 10.9 (Mavericks)

Looks like many others are finding it impossible to drag and drop elements from program to program.
I'll join this group of people and say:
I cannot drag files from Bridge CC to a finder window in OSX 10.9.
(I blame fruit over mudbrick on this issue.) Has anyone found a workaround?

If you have a Time Machine backup that is still on Mavericks, use this article to restore it: OS X Yosemite: Revert to a previous OS X version
If you do not have a Time Machine backup, and your computer shipped with Mavericks (meaning when you first received it, it had Mavericks installed), follow these steps to restore your computer to Mavericks (This will result in the hard drive being erased, so backup the data you still need!)
1. Turn up your computer's volume to the point where you can hear it.
2. Reboot the computer, and upon hearing the startup chime, press and hold the Command, Option, and R keys.
3. You should see a spinning globe and your computer will begin starting up from Internet Recovery. Once this happens, let go of the keys you are holding down.
4. Once it starts up, chose Disk Utility, then Continue.
5. Chose your startup disk (typically Macintosh HD), then click Erase.
6. Format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and then click Erase (make sure you have backed up all the data you still need!).
7. Once it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
8. Choose Reinstall OS X, then Continue.
9. Follow the on-screen instructions to install OS X on the disk you just erased.
Hope this helps! Reply if you have any questions or need more help!

Am useing a PC. Have Photoshop CS5, suddenly cannot move Raw files from bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop. Jpeg move into photoshop ok, did get error message 1 what do I do to correct this om bridge (or anywhere else for that matter)

Useing a PC
Have Photoshop CS5
Suddenly cannot move Raw Files from Bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop.
I Can move Jpegs into ps the only issue is with Raw files
I did get error1 message but as do not know what that means its no help
any suggestions?

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Importing files from Bridge into a stack in Photoshop

Hi guys,
Photoshop has a great function of loading files into a single stack, so as not to have many 10's of files to open. Bridge on the other hand allows for better viewing and navigation through folders etc. Just wondering if it was possible to select all the files you wanted open to a stack from bridge but these then to open in photoshop in a single psd file. It is possible to open all the files from Bridge then run the load in stack from the open files but then you have to close each file manually.
Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Sorry for any confusion. If you imagine using Bridge simply to select the images you want and highlighting them, nothing more, more nothing less. (because of better thumnail previews). These are now the images I want to perform the Photoshop "load files into Stack" script on. The only way this is possible is to the above mentioned, open hte files run the script and then close the files manually but as I have other files open can be very annoying going through them all. The other way is to write down the files names on a piece of paper and then find these files again through Photoshop/open, but as you can understand this is far too time consuming if you have 15-20 files to open at a time. This is basically because although you can choose the files in Bridge you cannot copy that selection to Photoshop. If this were possible it would also sort out the issue as I would have the correct files selected to run the script directky in Photoshop.
Hope this is a bit clearer.

Adobe Bridge CC cannot obtain files from this device.

I am getting this error message when I attempt to upload videos to my Mac from my Canon 7D:
Adobe Bridge CC cannot obtain files from this device. Please be sure the device is properly plugged in and the battery is full charged.
Battery is full charged and camera is connected properly. I have restarted the camera, Bridge, and the computer as well. I tried reinstalling Bridge and it allowed me to upload 3 of the video files. Then the error message came back. There were a few RAW images on the camera that I was able to upload, but when I tried the video again I got the error message. I read a post about renaming the folder that you are saving to as a fix. I tried that as well, but it did not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

This excerpt is from a long-gone post by author Bruce Fraser:
Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21) Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
        • Drains the camera battery
        • Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
        • Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
• runs the risk of wearing out the camera's connector,
• Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

Adobe Bridge cs5 cannot obtain files from this device.

I download photos to my computer using a Kingston downloading device.
Since installing Mavericks the above message comes up and will not carry out the download.
Is this a known problem with Mavericks and is there a remedy?
I would say that using the same device my photos download perfectly on my MacBook Pro.

1. Adobe Bridge CS5.1 cannot obtain files from this device.
Please ensure that the device is connected properly and that the battery is charged and try again.
2.I also get a message telling me that the "disk was not ejected propery" which is not the case.

Thanks Eric
The MacBook Pro is not running Mavericks and sorry about the double post.
I have actually solved the problem and the answer might be of use to others with the same problem.
There is a firmware update that will correct the problem.
It's at
http://www.kingston.com/en/support/technical/products?model=fcr-hs3
There is a small catch in that the firmware update can only be done on a Windows machine but I have been told that once this is done it can be used with OSX9 .I have just done the download but I haven't checked this out yet.

Placing files from Bridge. Indesign is not an option.

Cannot open illustartor cc 2014 files from bridge

cannot open illustartor cc 2014 files from bridge... after I installed Illustrator CC 2014 and updated Bridge CC I cannot open the Illustrator files from Bridge as it seems the path for opening such files still points to the old Illustrator CC folder which I have uninstalled from my computer

still points to the old Illustrator CC folder which I have uninstalled from my computer
Probably meaning you did not use the correct procedure for uninstall or have some remnants left of a trial. In Bridge Preferences File Type Associations you can change your default application for opening files of the wanted file types.

Load files from bridge into photoshop lagers

I am trying without success to load (two) files from bridge to Photoshop as layers.

I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but I know you can create stacks in Bridge by simply selecting the desired files and pressing ctrl G on the PC (command G on MAC?) I believe there is a forum dedicated to Bridge scripting. You might have better luck there.

Can't Open jpeg files from Bridge CS3 to PhotoShop CS3

This is really weird. I had a trial version of CS3 and bridge worked fine. That ran out, so I tried CS2 to see if I could get by with the older version. CS2's bridge worked just fine.
Then I installed a full version copy of CS3 and removed CS2 (to free up space) and for some bizarre reason, I cannot open any files from bridge into Photoshop. It's the CS3 bridge because I clicked on the Help, About Bridge and it showed CS3.
When I just click "open" under file, it tries to open with Illustrator. When I click, "open with" I get this list: Adobe Illustrator CS3 (default), Firefox 2.0, Internet Explorer 6.00, and Paint 5.1.
I can't figure out a way to change the default to CS3, and it worked fine with the trials.
Please advise.

It was a nice thought. I just did it, and associated all .jpg type files with photoshop, but no such luck in solving issue. I did figure out a way around it that kinda works, but not nearly as convenient. I drag select a group, then hold-click on the group and toggle into Photoshop, then let go. It pastes the group there. However, if I control click to select a group (or deselect within a group), I can't hold-click. So I have to do smaller groups at a time if I want to bypass certain pictures that get grabbed in a bigger group--does that make any sense at all?

Problem opening Illustrator files from Bridge

I recently installed cs5.5 and can no longer open my Illustrator files from within Bridge. When I double click on the file in Bridge, it switches to Illustrator and the hour glass appears for about 5-10 seconds before switching back to the selector tool, but the file never opens??? The only way I can open Illustrator files now, is to do the File>Open command within Illustrator.
I'm hesitant to reinstall CS5.5 because it took so long the first time.
Any suggestions??
Thanks
Paul

It only seems to affect ai files. I am able to open psd files from Bridge.
I just discovered that I am also unable to "place" ai files in InDesign. The same thing happens - I go to File>Place, find the ai file, double click the ai file, the hour glass appears for a brief moment then disappears, but the file doesn't get placed.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Paul
