CS3 Bridge won't show CR2 previews

I just re-installed CS3...and now Bridge won't show the CR2 previews...it's just the CR2 icon and when I try to open it up I get a message in CS3 that says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." ? I've been using CS3 for the past year and have had no previous problems with this particular issue. The other thing is that when I tried to update Bridge it said that it couldn't complete all the downloads.
Would appreciate the help...I'm getting frustrated

Sorry I didn't confirm whether it worked or not. I did several things...but I think what fixed the problem was updating the Camera Raw version to 4.6...but with that said I had to manually install it...it wouldn't allow me to update it through CS3...it kept coming up with error messages...so finally I got it updated manually to 4.6...but the previews still weren't showing up in Bridge...then yesterday I noticed that when I tried to open a jpeg through Bridge using the Camera Raw dialog box is said Camera Raw 4.0...so when you update do you have to do it both seperately to CS3 and Bridge? I'm not sure whether that just happened to me or not...so I updated Bridge and now it works!
1. Before installing the ACR plug-in you must completely remove the old one.
Follow the instructions exactly or it won't work!
2. It only goes in one place and is used by both PS and Bridge.
3. This table shows you what's covered by what version:

Bridge does not show image previews anymore on one of my drives

Bridge isn't showing image previews on one of my drives. I have tried resetting the preferences as well as deleting the cache to no avail.

I don't believe so, because it operates as expected in finder. It's only bridge that doesn't seem to want to create the thumbnails. I went to the thread you posted, Robert, but unfortunately I'm not on Windows and don't see any "online" or "offline" options.
Transporter is not a cloud service. It's actually a local hardware device, so it's more a network drive than anything else.

How do I get Bridge CS5 to display CR2 previews???

Dear wonderful Adobe community
I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS5 from CS4. As far as I can read/ascertain/gather Camera Raw 6 came with the package and installed when the main installation ran.
Bridge CS4 displays my CR2 Raw file previews from my 5d MKII no problem. Bridge CS5 however does not and all I get is the statutory CR2 symbol.
Can someone please help help help!
Thanks :O)

David,
You may need to update Camera Raw to version 6.1RC (RC = Release Candidate or advanced beta).
ACR 6, which ships with CS5, was frozen a long time ago, before ACR 5.7 shipped, and it does not support some cameras supported by ARC 5.7 in CS4. I don't know if this applies to your camera model or not.
For more info:
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2010/05/camera_raw_61_release_candidat.html
You might need to purge the cache after updating to Camera Raw 6.1 and relaunching Photoshop and Bridge.

Bridge won't show me full screen view when pressing spacebar?

This has been happening for a while now. I've had this mac and cs4 for a while with no problems. Then one day, I was looking through a recent photo shoot, I pressed space bar so I could view the image in full screen view, and the dashboard disappeared as well as the menu bar at the top for Bridge itself. ??
I did all updates, as well as un-installed Bridge and re-installed. Still having the same (ANNOYING) issue?!
Why would Bridge just ONE DAY start doing this? Is it some setting or something I clicked? I don't get it.
If anyone's had this problem before (and figured it out!) I would be SO GRATEFUL for some help!

I pressed space bar so I could view the image in full screen view, and the dashboard disappeared as well as the menu bar at the top for Bridge itself. ??
Not sure I understand your problem, Bridge by default shows only the image at full screen with a grey background bordering the parts that don't fit to the screen ratio. Clicking with the mouse in the image shows that part at 100 % and having used rating (cmd + . or cmd + , ) for in- or decreasing rating brings the rating and filename bottom left in view. Has always been this way to my knowledge.
For good sharpness of the full screen image select the option to generate monitor sized previews in Bridge preferences advanced tab.

CS3 Bridge won't start

For the first time, Bridge won't start-up either from CS3 or the XP Programs areas in Startup. I downloaded and inrtalled the CS3 Bridge 2.1.1 update and it did not help. I get the Message: The app failed to initilize properly (Oxc0000022). Click OK to Terminate. Please help if you can, thanks. phil
PS only change to my computer that I know of is I installed an ran Perfect Image defrag program

I did as you sugested: "
Hold down the crtl + shift + alt keys and start photoshop. You will be a window "Delete Adobe PS Settings File". Choose yes". I am running XP Pro, and when I use the crtl-shift-alt keys while starting CS3, the Adobe Bridge CS3 Properties Window pops up. Not anything suggesting to
"Delete Adobe PS Settings File".
I assure you that I am holding the keys properly, and continuously as I double click on the shortcut to CS3. Do you have another method that can be used to accomplish this???
I do not know if my original message was clear, but I cannot start Bridge. When I do so, I get the following message:
Bridge.exe - App Error. The apploication failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022).
So I do appreciate your suggestion to:
"To reset preferences in Bridge hold down Crtl key and start Bridge. You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options"
but I can't start Bridge, so I can't change the prefs.
Thanks for trying anyway. Phil

Bridge won't show jpg's

Bridge do now show jpg's on my Smart phone.
PS can open them and if I copy them to my HD, Bridge can show them.
I really hope that sometime before I die I will experience a week without problems with Adobe software. But I am 66, so I guess I won't

graverholt,
You are not addressing Adobe here in these user forums.
in this particular user forum we deal with Bridge on desktop and laptop computers. I'm pretty sure the Adobe Touch applications forums can handle your question. Look for an appropriate forum for those in the forums directory.

Cover Flow won't show JPG preview, only generic JPG icon

Hello,
For some reasons, I don't see JPGs in Cover Flow mode. I can see them in Quick Finder no problem.
I tried the following and toggle the on/off the feature without success: Go to Finder, open a window, and click View>Show View Options. From there, CHECK "Show Item Preview," then click "Use as Defaults."
I exported photos from iPhoto into my desktop but I get the same result. Only generic jpg icon.
BTW, PDFs are fine, excel, word are all fine....
Any idea?

A reboot solved the problem.
I guess this is the workaround for now...

CS3: Bridge does not show dng-files

First it started to refuses to show NEF files, and now, it will not show dng files - or at least some of my dng files.
What the H.... is wrong with this crap?

But I do not understand, why Bridge suddenly cannot see them - when it could a couple of days ago
CS3 is known for being the worst version of Bridge with very strange behavior. Might be preferences or cache related or some other strange reason. Fact is that using old software for new digital cameras has the only advantage as being cheap. You do miss a lot of functions, options and especially quality for developing your Raw files. CS6 has a complete new Raw process version called 2012. And since you use CS3 you still will be at process 2003 and already missed process version 2010.
So you seriously should consider buying CS6 ( you missed the option for an upgrade since this was shut down per december last year due to new upgrade policy) if you want to get the most out of your expensive new dSLR

Photoshop won't open my raw files and Bridge won't show thumbnails

Hi,
I'm having trouble with my Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 on my Mac. It's been working fine until a few days ago, but now the image thumbnails won't load in Bridge, and I'm not able to open RAW-files in Photoshop (same thing happens when opening both from Bridge or in Finder).
When trying to open the files in Photoshop a pop up message shows up saying this:
"Photoshop cannot open this file.
If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates.
If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111"
I'm not able to click on updates, so that won't help me much. What can I do to get it back to normal again?

I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on. I use FastPictureViered Codec Package, When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for. Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06

10.9.5 with camera raw 5.07 not showing .RW2 and DNG but showing .CR2 previews in finder

Even with the latest OS and latest camera raw, only my Canon raw image files display proper previews in the finder, and open properly with iPhoto and Photoshop. .RW2 and .DNG files will not show previews or open with iPhoto, and .RW2 files won't even open in Photoshop without being converted to DNG. I've combed the support community questions for over a year now, am tech support oriented, and am ready to throw in the towel. I've had this same problem with previous system versions and camera raw versions, so I know the solution lies with neither of the two.

I'm having exactly the same issue and I posted on Adobe's site and dpreview and StackExchange but nobody has the final answer. I can see thumbnail previews in finder with ALL my various Raw files (Olympus OMD EM1, Panasonic GH2 and GH3, and Nikon D5300) just fine but when I use the convert to DNG feature in Lightroom (latest version since I'm on the CC subscription), only the Nikon DNG files display a preview thumb in finder and neither the Oly or Panny DNG files display. The closest I got to an explanation is that, since the m4/3 cameras do their profiling in camera and Adobe doesn't have a profile for them, some of the info isn't converted into the DNG in those systems. The article I read about it was really about Aperture not being able to read the Adobe DNG files but it may also explain why Mac finder can't show preview thumbs. Aperture 3: Some DNG images display as unsupported - Apple Support
If there is no way to get preview thumbs in finder with the converted RAW files from my GH3 then I'll forgo converting for now.
Here is my Nikon DNG
And my Panny DNG (Oly is the same)
Panny RAW shows up just fine
As does the Oly ORF

ACR Plugins not working and Bridge won't view cr2 files

Hey there.. I've been using Photoshop/Bridge/ ACR for 7 years now but from memory I have had this issue before when installing.
My laptop just got a new hard drive and fan and I've had to reinstall everything.
I downloaded 3 different ACR plugins and none of them have enabled Camera Raw reading for bridge.
I'm using CS6 with Canon 5dmk2 cr2 files.
I have tried 7.1
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 7.1 Update
I have tried 6.7
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
I've tried this link
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.8
and I've tried a Microsoft codec pack somebody else suggested
Download Microsoft Camera Codec Pack (6.3.9721.0) from Official Microsoft Download Center
Please help....

The 5D2 only needs ACR 5.2 or newer so your current version of ACR 7.1 should open the files.
If ACR isn’t enabled in Bridge then the usual thing is to launch Photoshop and open a raw file at least once without using Bridge, with File / Open or PS / Open.
Doing Help / Updates from PS should install the latest ACR version for you in case that helps.
You can also try installing ACR manually.
If you have a newer OS like Windows 7+ or OSX 10.8+ then try ACR 8.8 is what you want to install:
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
If you have an older OS like Windows Vista or OSX 10.6.8 then ACR 8.3 is what you want an installer further down on this page:

Hi chuckita,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to use your MacBook Pro to mirror to your Apple TV, but you do not see the AirPlay icon. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article to verify that your MacBook Pro is supported and how to set up AirPlay Mirroring. Please let me know if you continue to have and issue and what steps aren’t working as expected.

Bridge won't show folders.

I have CS5. I can't get Bridge to show new folders, it hasn't shown a new folder this past year. Any suggestions?

Windows 7. Okay, I think that did the trick. I reset the correct file path and all folders are now visible. Now, how do I save this?

After recent update, bridge won't quit, no previews.

Once again, a new update, additional problems. I've removed all of the files from the data cache and described in earlier posts. Once I click a folder, now the contents wont create previews.
The little wheel in the bottom left just keeps spinning, spinning says 13 items, (92 thumbnail extraction, 1 preview extraction). And keeps spinning, spinning.
So then, after not being able to see my previews, I attempt to quit Bridge. Can't do that either. I have to "Force Quit" Bridge, only to come back to the same problem.
THIS is the quality you should expect from purchasing the CS Cloud monthly service! Every new update I will now not install, because most, not all, but most, create problems that weren't there orignially.
Thanks Adobe! My workflow has again come to a halt all around your products.....

Thank you Gentlemen for your assistance. Yes, on a mac. 10.8.2 OSX. 2.7 GHz i5 with 786.41GB free and 16GB RAM.
I've checked and repaired permissions, repaired disks,
Command, Option, p , and r 3 times for the RAM. Not sure what the issue may be. I've also lost the ability to search for any files within finder, but thats another problem for another day.
Bridge is starting to be able to shut down after doing all of the above. I'll keep an eye out.

Bridge sometimes won't show jpg thumbnails

Sometimes when saving a photo from ACR as a JPG, Bridge won't show the thumbnail. It seems a random thing for some show and others don't. If I click on the thumbnail it will open in PSCC. Then save as a TIFF and it shows. If I change it back to a JPG, then it shows up. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
Sue

It is a cache problem. If it happens again choose the thumb icon and with right mouse click menu choose 'purge cache for selection' then it will build a new thumb and it shows correctly.
If it happens in one folder choose the folder and in menu tool / cache choose 'purge cache for folder'.
If happening on multiple folders even a purge of central cache is needed either in preferences or on start up holding down option(Mac) or control (Win) key and choose this option from the menu that shows.
