  • Bridge will not launch in Mac OSX 10.6.8

    Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard (Mac OS) works fine except for Bridge which will not launch from Photoshop or from Applications, after 2 Uninstall/Reinstalls,and same attempts with new user account. Can anyone help?

    Hi Gannett,
      You are right.  A couple of years ago,  I had transferred all MacBook contents (including Photoshop Elements) to a new iMac. A freeze up of the new computer resulted (at Apple's suggestion) in using the old user account (from the MacBook). When I installed the Adobe Creative Suite this fall, Bridge  would not launch. After days of frustrating troubleshooting and searching the web in vain,  the case with Adobe escalated to Level 3; I spent over 4 hours on the phone with an Adobe expert (in Manila!) before this was solved by creating a new virgin account created (with nothing except the basic iMac software and the Adobe Suite on it. Gun shy of any further adjustments or migrations, I decided to keep the new user account strictly for my Creative Suite work. End of problem. Thanks for getting back to me, and  Merry Christmas!

  • CS3 Bridge will not launch tried 'ctrl' icon doesn't work.

    Adobe Bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    this is the message I get when i try to launch Adobe Bridge -
    I called tech support & although I've spent $$$ for master collection CS3 - and so many other adobe programs/software for myself & others.. they are unwilling to offer any support other than a paid issue, which really chafes.
    so here I am, throwing seeds into the wind hoping i can get back to work after wasting a nother day with this this.
    there is no phantom instance of Bridge.
    I have a wacom tablet. I cannot get to any 'preferences' screen with any combination of ctrl, alt, ****..
    Bridge will not launch.
    Help please? thanks

    Curt Y answered this in another thread;
    If you can not get the reset window, you are doing something incorrectly.
    1.  Bridge has to be closed.  Check the Task Manager to make sure no copy is running in the background.
    2.  You have to press and HOLD the Crtl key when you click on the start icon for Bridge.
    3.  If successful you will get a reset window with 3 options.
    in this thread;
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2735898#2735898
    the key point is step 2 HOLD... this is nowhere else in the forums..
    so, again, thanks to Curt Y for the answer/
    I checked all three boxes & Bridge did launch. Why is this so obscure.. and why could tech support just tell me that..
    oh well.
    again. thanks.

  • [bridge cc] Mini bridge cannot be launched

    Running adobe cc tools on win7
    I have the
    With Bridge cc (verified from help/`about bridte') running, I cannot get a minibridge.  The full message reads:
    Mini bridge cannot be launched because the
    Mini the bridge extension is not installed
    I'm not finding any instructions about how to install it, and a few posts here from Oct. indicate it is part of the CC tools.
    Further ; I don't see anything on the cc installer/update tool about any such extension.

    If it is a panel, how is that panel accessed? It is not amongst the panels listed under Windows menu item.  The only reference I see is under File/Browse in Mini bridge
    It should be in your PS Window menu under Window / Extensions / Mini Bridge   If it has checkmark in front it should also be visible as a docked panel. The default workspace for PS CC has both Timeline and Mini Bridge docked as panels at the bottom of your PS screen (however this is for a Mac using the Application Frame, don's have Windows but it should be there by default, certainly if Mini Bridge is listed under extensions and has a checkmark in front)
    Now from PS I click `File' / `Browse in Mini bridge'.  At that point a small window pops open with this informaiton:
    ....Mini Bridge could not be launched because the
    ....Mini Bridge extension is not installed
    That is indeed strange, on my system using the command to browse in Mini Bridge opens the MB panel wether I have it selected or not with a checkmark under Extensions.
    So how am I to access the mini-bridge panel?
    What have done wrong in the steps above?
    The only thing that seems wrong is your install. First check if you have the latest updates for PS and Bridge using your Creative Cloud Application (which also should be up to date).
    Then consider both PS and Bridge to reset preferences. for PS hold down shift + option + Command (Win - ctrl) while restart PS and choose delete pref settings file. For Bridge hold down option (Win-ctrl) key while restart Bridge.
    If still no luck consider to uninstall using the official uninstallers for Adobe and then use ACC to reinstall. If still in trouble consider the same procedure but then with the use of Adobe Clean Tool.
    In all cases first be sure to have a proper back up and also make sure you have your custom settings for PS (actions, brushes, presets etc) as well as for Bridge (export the keyword list also) before uninstall and use of clean tool
    here is the info for the clean tool:

  • Bridge has never launched - Error code 6 on installation - So frustrated with "support" - HELP!

    So, I'm going to rant just like everyone else here. It makes me feel better. I spent 11 HOURS on the phone with Adobe's foreign support team yesterday and still, nothing is resolved! At this point, I will not relent until my problem is solved.
    Here's the deal:
    I got CS5 Creative Suite Design Standard in October 2010 and installed it on my Mac. I have only learned to use Photoshop and really wanted to use Bridge, but Bridge would never launch. I always got an error that the program quit unexpectedly. I was reluctant to call Adobe knowing I would be on the phone forever. Little did I imagine 11 hours!
    Yesterday, I finally called. They said that my initial installation must not have been successful due to permission issues. After 5 people I couldn't understand well and 5 disc uninstall/re-installs, I am still getting the infamous "exit code 6" error upon installation. Photoshop still works, but not Bridge. They said that exit code 6 is a known issue but that it is a generic code and could be caused by many things. The latest thing they asked me to do (at 11PM last night) was send them the error logs from the installation. I did and it could take 24 - 48 hours for them to analyze & respond. I personally don't think they will ever call me back, so I will have to hound them again today.
    I don't understand why installing software has to be so freaking hard! The won't give me a new disk to see if I have a bad one, but they say that reading these error logs and acting on them always resolves the issue. Why they didn't say that in hour 4, I don't know.
    Has anyone else had this issue? Please tell me what you did to solve it!

    Here is a link to Error 6 on a Windows machine.  Although a different OS there may be similarities with your problem.  Might be worth a read.
    It is a long thread but look at post #136 for sure.  The fellow solved his problem, in his case a conflict with the anti-virus.
    Hope this helps to get you up an running.

  • Bridge will not launching on PS CS4

    I have windows XP.  Bridge will not launch for CS4.  We have tried to restore to a previous version, uninstalled and installed the program.  Restored the previous versions of my plug in software.  Bridge still wont launch.  I can still gain access to my images through the control on the dropdown menu to open.  Bridge is just a lot faster and more convenient.  If anyone has any suggestions are can help that would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    Bridge CS4 has a Open at login option where it will open when you launch Windows. It will be in the system tray.
    In Bridge:
    Edit>Preferences>Advanced, "Start Bridge at logon"   then restart Windows.
    If that fails see if anyone in the Bridge forum can help. Bridge General Discussion

    After renaming my MAC hard drive, Acrobat, Illustrator and Bridge fail to launch. Acrobat returns the error message "An internal error occurred". I've checked this out and it seems related to user permissions. The version is Acrobat X. My machine has multiple user accounts. Any help would be appreciated. I renamed the drive to its original name but to no effect. RR

    I resolved the issue.
    The problem is indeed a permissions issue with the Adobe Application Support folder.
    First, in MAC OS Lion the ~/Library/ folder is hidden by default. You must unhide it in order to proceed. (if it is already visible in your ~/User/ folder, proceed to Step 4.)
    Next launch the Terminal application.
    At the command line, paste the following command line: chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    Go to /Users/youruserid/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Get info on the ~/Adobe folder and reset your permissions to read/write and apply to all enclosed folders
    Problem solved. RR

  • How to stop Bridge from auto-launching

    I recently enabled a option to auto launch Bridge and I think I did it through inDesign CS5.
    Where do I stop Bridge from auto launching?
    Thank you for any help!
    Best,
    John

    You may find that it's not a 'Bridge' thing. I presume you are on a Mac... and have the lastest OS?
    When you do a hard shut down and then restart, any apps that were open will re-open.
    Also if you quit a program with something open. Quitting and restarting the program automatically opens what was previously open.
    I find that I have gotten into the habit of closing before quitting... quite annoying.
    I hope I didn't go off topic too much...

  • Adobe Bridge Failure to Launch

    I have CS4 Design Premium for Mac. As of this morning, as soon as I launch Adobe Bridge, it immediately shuts down. I have restarted my computer twice, checked for software updates and am out of ideas. Any ideas? Bridge has always been a little glitchy on my system (some viewer modes cause the software to shut down on occasion). Help?

    1}I would say uninstall it, clean out any trace of it, reboot, check for any updates reboot, and reinstall, leave defualt location where it installs itself!
    2} look for maybe an older version, you can find one anywhere like www.kat.com try that working it from the bottom on up! even if you have to start at 1.0, let mwe know how that goes!

  • Some workstations not allowing Adobe Bridge CS3 application launch

    Hi all.
    I'm pretty new at helping manage a MIDI/art lab at a high school campus (not new to Macs, but new to this issue).
    We have a student login for an art class where students should have complete access to the Adobe CS3 suite of applications. The account is logging in on a server, running apps on the local hard drives, and an entire class of students all log in at once. We've tried to keep all the iMacs current in terms of Adobe updates and other software updates.
    The problem is this: there are four iMacs which - in spite of all updates being equal, and the fact that all users are logging into a network account (thus all having the same set of rules, permissions, and restrictions) - fail to allow students to use Adobe Bridge. At these four stations, launching Bridge gets this error:
    +*The Application "Bridge CS3" is not allowed.*+
    +"Bridge CS3"is not on the approved list of applications. Contact the person who set up your account for more information.+
    We've tried several things, including running Adobe updater (again), Apple software update, and resetting/trashing Bridge's prefs.
    Again, every user should be experiencing the same permissions and restrictions, and this issue seems to be tied to hardware as it only applies on four of the iMacs. Logging in as an administrator or a local account with full permission allows clear access to Bridge. However, we need the Art Class account to work on all our stations as students use Bridge regularly for class.
    Any input and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    (By the way, these are Intel iMacs running, I would presume, Snow Leopard. The model and OS info shown below are my machine, not the lab stations.)

    Curt Y. Thank you for your answer.
    It was only Bridge who was crashing. It failed to load and Windows was giving an error message.
    I tried your suggestion, and resetting all options in the reset window it now loads. It was as simple as that.

  • Bridge will not launch

    I have successfully downloaded Photoshop which is running okay. The trouble comes when trying to launch Bridge. It fails and I get a window with the message ‘Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working’ it then asks if I would like to check online for a solution, if I click the link the window just sort of fades out? Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Adobe Bridge will not launch

    Hello,
    I’d be very grateful if you could help me please.
    I have recently purchased Adobe Photoshop CS6 (from Amazon). I have  installed it, but Bridge has only installed as 32bit, and this 32bit  installation will not run. (Photoshop has installed as 32 and 64bit - I run 64bit on Windows 7.) When I try to launch Bridge my cursor spins for a second or two and then absolutely nothing happens. I have tried updating it from Adobe's site, but it has not made any difference.
    Kind regards,
    Ails123

    I would be suspicious of the disk if Bridge only comes in 32 bit mode.  Call Adobe and see if the serial number is legit.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 not launching RAW

    I recently started using Creative suite CS6 products, I can not launch camera raw from bridge. It pops up with camera raw editing is not enabled, you must launch a qualifying product. I would think that all the products from creative suite are qualifiled. Any help would be appreciated.

    Just make sure you have launched Photoshop.  "Bridge" is nothing more and nothing less that Photoshop's File Browser, and that's exactly what it was called in its first iteration, before they "borrowed" it for extended service in the so called "suites".
    Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" should come as no surprise.
    The "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types.  The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
    The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

  • Bridge will not launch from Illustrator CC

    I am having issues with launching Bridge in Illustrator and After Effects.  I have to manually launch it with the icon.

    In preferences check to see it there are startup scripts for the app and if so see if they are checked.  If no startup scripts they apps not made to communicate with each other.
