CS4 Bridge Can't Complete Loading

When I use CS3 Bridge on my MacBook Pro, all my photos show up as thumbnails. I have installed CS4-Photoshop (Extended) and when I try to launch Bridge in CS4, all I get is the spinning pinwheel and the program never fully loads. Additionally, some thumbnails show up, others do not. It has nothing to do with the type of file. What am I missing here?

File associations are no problem, and ACR probably has no issues with Bridge unless they've made major changes to the interface, which I doubt.  I think it's more likely to be a simple question of one product seeing the other one's licensing rights in the registry.
There is an Adobe Clean Script which will remove all traces of the trial.   CS4 Clean Script.
I really think you'll get in a mess with versions mixed up like that!
There are major changes to Bridge and ACR and I really advise you not to get yourself and the computer in a muddle.

  • CS4 Bridge can't see CS3 Photoshop's ACR

    Hi all, I have been using CS3 PS + ACR happily for the last year.  Yesterday I downloaded the CS4 trial packs for Dreamweaver, Flash, etc, and installed them, along with CS4 Bridge.
    CS4 Bridge will send an image to CS3 PS but when I select "Open in Camera Raw" it tells me I have to "launch a qualifying product at least once to include this feature".
    Que pasa?
    Fortunately, CS3 Bridge is still available, and still has all its cups in the cupboard; but it's rather inconvenient running both.
    I would be grateful for any suggestions,
    John Ewing

  • By creating Web Gallery from CS4 Bridge can we allow people to download photos

    I want to create web gallery from CS4 but want to allow users to download a particular photo or the full album. How can we do this setting. May be we can create a PDF file but that will allow user to download the full PDF and then create a new page and save the PDF again with the particular photo but I need them to save the file in JPG.
    Do any one know how to do this setting making Web Gallery in HTML or other option JPG format.

    a flashing folder with a question mark popped up,
    Can mean that your Mac can't find a system folder to boot from.
    Try restarting while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk and restart.

    If the disk is not available, then it's failing or has failed.
    If you did not backup your important files, an alternative would be data recovery but it's expensive.

  • How can you save a customized Web Gallery in CS4 Bridge?

    While trying out some the Web Galleries in CS4 Bridge, I have customized several using the customizing options. The info I type in is saved automatically but if I change from one gallery to another, all the customized choices for colors, etc., returns to the default version. Surely there is a way to save what I have input? Kind of ridiculous if you have to do this every time you want to make a gallery. Also, seems that some galleries have more customizing options while others leave those options off. Is this just a bad oversight by Adobe? In the HTML web option, anyway to have it list the file number/name below the image? 

    I was surprised that no one wanted to answer this question.
    I waited long enough.
    I still don't have this working properly

  • CS4 Bridge, icon in place of image??

    Hi Guys.
    I do hope someone out there can help to shed some light on the following problem I am experiencing in CS4 Bridge on my new Mac. The O/S on my Mac is Snow Leopard 10.6.6
    My original mac continued to crash and therefore Apple swapped it for a new and up to date model, all the software has been loaded and appears to work ok except that in Bridge when I should see a preview of a Raw image, all I see is the "icon" symbol, a plain piece of paper with a lens aperture in the middle. I have checked all the preference settings with my old Mac and all appears to be ok.
    I am currently using Canon 1Ds MK III and 1D MKIV cameras.
    Can anyone please tell me how to rectify this matter?
    I have been on to the Adobe Tech Support and all they continue to do is pass me from pillar to post. In fact the phone is currently on hold and has been now for in excess of 40mins??? At their cost, it's a ring back!!
    Many thanks in anticipation.

    Fotographic Images.

    Hi.
    Thanks for your reply. In answer to your suggestions/questions, yes if I double click on the icon in bridge (where the image should be) the icon/image opens up correctly in the Raw convertor ready for processing. Your second question, have I downloaded plug-in V5.7 - Yes.
    Today I have had three technicians on attempting to help me for approximately one hour each and then a techi teamleader for a further 1.5 hours, still no joy.
    Adobe have promised to ring me back tomorrow which some new ideas and hopefully a solution!!!
    One step we will be taking is to uninstall and reinstall the software completely.
    Any ideas/suggestions welcome.
    Cheers

  • CS4 Bridge Keywords - Delete when Bridge is close.

    Greetings
    I have gone through and applied keywords to hundreds of images, along with a respective Hierarchy KeyWords as well. As long as Bridge remains open and my computer is on I have access to sort, and find files based on Keywords.
    "Close Bridge" : and all Keywords are missing from Keyword pane, excluding the few that are present with Bridge as examples that are always there.
    I can, re-select all the images, and the keywords will load again into the Keyword pane, but that takes about hour to manage.
    It is like some preference file is not being read, or the Keywords are not saved to the Keywords pane. I have loaded again this App from Photoshop CS4.
    One person suggested I go into Preferences and un-click "Read Hierarchy keywords" then open all my image folders and again click on the images to reload the keywords into the Keyword pane again. Then go back to preferences and re-click Read Hierarchy Keywords again, and that everything should be in order. I have done this twice, once with starting Bridge again before re-clicking RHK button again.
    Still after two years of having Bridge CS4, I can not used this function to search for images.
    And yes, I do select a folder or mounting disk for Bridge to look at for finding the Keywords.
    After all this time, has anyone solve the riddle of trying to make this work. I can not update my MAC. I have a PowerPC, Quick Silver, 2002 G4, dual 1000. So 10.4.11 is the last operating system I believe I can use.
    Thanks for you help.
    Have a good day.

    Hello Curt
    Thank you for your reply.
    This Keyword system was working earlier, that is I could shut off the computer and come back to open Bridge and the keywords were there.
    As you suggested the keyword did come up in Italics as I began working with them a few days ago, because someone had responded to an old Thread of mine from this site from almost a year ago. Initially there were coming up as persistent in normal font face.
    I followed your suggestion with a smaller batch of Keywords, then shut down the computer and, and they were present when the program came back up.
    So Thanks, that works.
    This will get me back on the right track again with Keywords.
    I have no idea what iniciated a change of from persistent keywords to loosing them all in the past. But at least cognitively, I now have a clear process for getting them to show up again on start.
    Thanks again for your reply.

  • Win 7-CS4 - Bridge - ACR 5.5 Camera Raw editing not enabled

    I have just migrated to a new Win 7 system. Fresh install of PS CS4, I found I could load CR2's into ACR but not jpg's. Wehn I tried to check Camera Raw preferences in Bridge I got message "Camera Raw not enabled...." even though PS had been started several times. I tried to update to ACR 5.5 but got same message. I installed it manually as per instructions but still same result. Cannot load jpg's into ACR. I do not have this problem on two XP and one XPx64 systems.
    Is this a problem with win 7?
    Thanks,

  • CS4 Bridge crashes system

    I am suddenly having a problem with CS4 Bridge causing my computer to crash (blue screen of death) whenever I attempt to use Bridge.  I have contacted Adobe through their "support portal" several times over the past week and have receive no assistance whatsoever.  I have also called their telephone support three times and was assured that someone would be in touch but have heard nothing.  I am one week into this problem and am unable to use CS4 and bridge.  I have uninstalled (complete cleansing) and reinstalled CS4 four times and the problem persists.
    Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Wil Tifft

    I've posted the following in other Post for the same problem... hope it helps (no one seem to even mention what i've done so, maybe i'm genius or plain stupid)
    Hi!
    I hope you've managed to solve the problem. But just in case i'll tell you that i had the same headache and i've solved (or worked around it) by enabling the Software rendering under the Bridge Advanced Preferences Tab.
    The thing is that Bridge will work fine until you want to use the magnifying glass on the preview tab (it will ralentize a bit)... But, you can still make your thumbnails on the content tab bigger so you don't have to zoom in all the time except you need to view some tiny details on the file you are looking for.
    That worked for me... and i didn't even tried any of the other solutions shown here... i'll hope that in time the nVidia drivers get updated soon and this problem will disappear. Unfortunately, to try and see if it is fixed you'll have to turn off Bridge's software rendering after updating the driver and then take the risk of another sudden reboot.
    Cheers!

  • Removing CS3 bridge, keeping CS4 Bridge...

    I am cleaning out previous version of CS3 suite from a mac. However I've had some issues that I wondered if anyone has a solution to.
    When running CS3 Bridge, images there are not in CS4 Bridge. There is no export feature I know of (is there?). How do I get everything that is in CS3 Bridge to CS4 to show up before I delete CS3 apps ?  (this macbook pro I am using was loaded from CS2 days up to CS4...I have inherited it at work and need to make room but still keep images intact, plus I never used Bridge before so any noob help is appreciated)

    Bridge only creates preview thumbs for its own cache library and not the
    original files, they keep untouched in the same folders as you have them now
    on your system.
    You can safely uninstall CS3 without losing images. However you will need to
    cache the images again when opening CS4 but that is only taking some time.
    You will need to recreate new workspaces for PS and Bridge and also set the
    preferences again to your wishes but that is only once. Keep in mind that
    actions and brushes that you have created or loaded on your CS3 app don't
    copy automatically. Best you save them from PS CS3 first in a folder you can
    easily access and in CS4 load them again from that folder.
    For exact location for prefs in CS3 and CS4 see those knowledge base

  • Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.

    Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.
    I recently completely removed, deactivated and reinstalled all my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Master Collection to solve some problems with other application from the suite and now I'm surprise Bridge continues to fail. In my portable workstation the same software (Bridge) uses to work.
    I tried launching Bridge under several compatibility modes. All failed.
    Is there any know bug I should be aware of? Any fix?
    Is this a common problem?

    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.
