CS4 Bridge not responding

I'm having issues when trying to open a photo in CS4 64-bit via Bridge.  I'm running the latest version (11.0.2) on win 7 64-bit.  My system has been running just fine for about 6 months up until about 3 weeks ago.  Using Bridge I try open a pic to do some editing and Bridge just stops responding.  If I use windows explorer to open a photo then I also have noticed that whenever I close PS that the photoshop.exe service is still running in task manager and another PS session won't open until I click end process on the existing instance.  I don't know if the two isues are related but I thought I'd mention it just in case

Well if overheating is an issue it is certainly not caused by dust inside my pc.  I have an Antec 300 case with an intake filter that I clean about every 2-3 weeks.  Plus when I installed the TV tuner card about 3 weeks ago I blew out what little dust was inside the case.  But I'll check it again just to be sure.  I'll try reloading the GPU drivers again but I doubt it'll help since I've essentially already done that.  I am a little concerned that MB is crapping out but more concerned that the onboard GPU is going bad.  Other than a little flickering my only problems are with photoshop so far.  I know that the flickering is not my monitor because I hooked it up to my lapton and I saw no flickering.  I also tried switching from DVI to VGA to see if the connector made a difference and it did not.  I haven't tried the HDMI yet.  I've been trying to figure this out for the past few weeks with no success yet.
I'm thinking that I've got a bad GPU or driver and/or a software problem.  Considering getting a PCI-X video card to see if that makes any difference.

  • CS3 bridge not responding

    I have been using CS3 Bridge on Vista for over a year with no real problems. Recently I was using it to move some files around and it stopped responding to any command. I closed it via task manager and reopened it. It opened but did not respond to any command and did not preview any photos. I tried reinstalling and then uninstall and reinstall. No help. I went to CS3 via an upgrade from CS2. When I tried the reinstalls I was using the CS3 upgrade disc. Any suggestions to get CS3 Bridge functional again?

    The prefs an caches were damaged. Reinstalls don't touch them, so nothing got fixed. You will have to manualyl delete them/ move them out of the way and let the program create new default ones...

    Wade,
    You said that Adobe's employees come and visit this forum. And you are right, Adobe's employees disguised as a regular users are here all the time.
    When the CEO said Adobe hired Low Level employees I did not know then what he meant. Now I know is for damage control.
    I am not only one as you can only wish. Go to Adobe Feedback forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/adobedotcom_feedback

  • CS5:  Bridge not responding

    When I open the mini bridge then select browse files, my favorites, recent folders, etc do not contain any files.  In the content box below it says "waiting for bridge cs5..." and doesn't respond.  Does anybody have an idea of what is going on?

  • Bridge NOT RESPONDING... re installed PS but still not responding... any Ideas??? (Windows, 64 bit)

    adobe bridge is not responding. All other programs from Suite are fine. When I click on anything in the bridge it immediately says NOT RESPONDING> I re installed PS but it did not help...???

    Hey glennboyes,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with connecting to the iTunes Store. The following articles may help to resolve your issue:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    "Error 3000" through "3999"
    Alerts with codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, or due to your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try removing the proxy settings, or using a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Thanks,

  • CS4 "Printer Not Responding"

    Hi, I successfully printed a doc from CS4 with my canon ip4300 printer, seconds later another would not print. The printer dialogue says "printer not responding".
    After re-start got message "unrecognised USB device" , so I uninstalled then re-installed the printer.
    I can now print from Notepad and Lightroom but if I try to print from Photoshop CS4 I still get message "printer not responding".
    Seems to be a photoshop problem rather than a printer problem, any ideas??

  • CS4 Bridge not showing all files

    I'm working on a 1TB drive in a directory with about 1000 dng files.  When use Bridge not all files are shown and there are no filters selected.  I go into the directory using Windows Explorer and they are indeed there.  I can select the file in Windows Explorer and open it in Photoshop without any problems.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Strange, when I set the option to show reject and hidden files nothing changed.  When I set the show items from subfolders all the images appeared.  The strange part is that they are all in the same directory.  At least it works now.  Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

  • Export IDML in CS4 -Indesign not responding

    Hi,
           After I do some process in Indd I export  the active document to IDML using java script code.
    When Idml Export function is called, Indesign is  not completing this process.
    When I force quit the application Indesign not responding status was there.
    i am using the below code for export idml, Kindly help me on this
    function exportIDML(idmlPathNm)
        var myIDMLFile = new File(idmlPathNm);
        app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP, myIDMLFile);   

    I have found another cause for "hangs" in Indesign CS5. After removing the SING components, I found that the frequency of hangs greatly decreased except for files I had using the Times font. Files I had which didn't contain the Times font did not give me a problem. Files which had the Times font would still hang and when I reopened them, Indesign would tell me that I was missing the font. I could close the file without saving and reopen and the Times font would be there. Then ID would hang.
    Since I work with a lot of template files, I went and changed all the Times fonts to Cambria. I haven't had a hang since then.
    Don't know why there's a conflict other than maybe the copy of Times I have been using for the last 4 years has suddenly became corrupt or else it's an issue between the version of Times I have and CS5. It still works fine on the desktop I have running IDCS4.
    Curious.

  • CS4 Bridge not interfacing with Photoshop.

    I am evaluating the new Photoshop CS4 (it is purchased copy and not running on the 30 day trial) and have run into a problem in using Bridge CS4.
    I am able to open an image using Photoshop's File Open command
    BUT when I attempt to do so in Bridge
    I get this error
    the top line in the error box is:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop.exe
    The below that line is this error:
    Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate premissions to access the item.
    I have full administrator access to the computer in question.

    If CS4 is like CS3 and you are using Vista and and external drive you may have to start Bridge in Adminsitartive mode. Right click on Bridge Icon and choose "Run as Administrator". I know sounds silly as you may be only user, but it can work this way.

  • CS4 Bridge not returning to selected thumbnail after batch rename

    Using Bridge CS4.  Directory has several hundred RAW files.
    I grab some images from the middle of the bunch and do a batch rename.  Sometimes Bridge returns the thumbnail display to the ones that were selected, sometimes it doesn't.  When it doesn't, I have to scroll back down to my selected images. I can't figure out what is or isn't set that gets Bridge to return to my selected images instead of leaving me at the start of the thumbnails......

    First use the menu tools / cache / purge cache for folder, if still in trouble restart Bridge holding down option key to refresh preferences

  • Mini Bridge not responding on PS CS6 on Mac

    I have installed PS CS6 on my Mac and the link between mini bridge and bridge fails to respond.  Message comes up on mini bridge 'waiting for bridge'.  I have re-installed the software but still no joy - is anything switched off in preferences? Can anyone help please.

    I would recommend by starting with the Adobe Support Advisor - http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/.  It will automatically review your installation logs and attempt to locate solutions.
    Alternately you can view the installation logs yourself by following the directions listed in Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

  • When I launch bridge from PS CS5, it opens the CS4 bridge, not CS5. How can I change the default?

    I wouldn't normally mind, however I've noticed Bridge CS4 is a lot slower than CS5 and there are minor appearance issues that I dont like in CS4.

    Just got a brand new Mac pro, new user account and guess what, same error!
    There are also no startup scripts in bridge meaning I can't create contact sheets and invoke error message in PS when clicking the bridge tab in Photoshop.
    Adobe am I just unlucky or do you still have an installer bug present which you haven't fixed since last year?
    Mac Pro 10.6.7, Photoshop 12.1.

  • Bridge not responding

    When I am adding a keyword to a photo, Bridge hangs up. I have to Alt/Ctrl/Del to exit bridge. This happens fairly frequently.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks

    please describe this problem in details:
    1. Bridge version, CS3 or CS4? ACR version 5.1 or 5.2? windows version xp or vista? 64bit or 32bit?
    2. photo format, JPEG, TIFF, or RAW format?
    3. use metadata panel/Keywords field or use Keyword panel to add keywords?
    perhaps you should try "purge cache for bridge". use "ctrl + open bridge" to pop up bridge resetting dialog, and then choose "purge cache"

  • CS4 Programs Not Responding

    I have had Adobe Creative Suite installed on my Mac for 2 years now without issue. As of today, I cannot access any of my Adobe products. When trying, the program will open and take me to the last item I was working on. However, it immediately stops responding. I tried rebooting the computer and when logged back in, I can open 1 Adobe program. However, as soon as I try opening another, they both lock up and the problem persists.
    I have tried deleting my user's .dat file as suggested in some of the other forums but this did not repair anything. I ran the Adobe installer to ensure everything was up to date - this did not repair the issue either. I can't seem to find anyone with quite the same problem - hopefully someone out there finds this issue familiar!

  • PS CS4 Not Responding

    I have had no trouble with PS CS4 until just today.  When I launch CS4, it looks fine.  Then when I click anything, I get the black bar of death on top that says "PS CS4 Extended Not Responding".
    Then if I try to click anything the screen goes white and it says it stopped working.
    I have the most current version
    I changed my options to administrator (although it was fine before the way it was)
    i reuploaded my driver for my wacom
    i debugged
    really the only thing between yesterday and today i did different was update my itunes...which i woulnd't think would have anything to do with PS.
    I didn't reinstall yet becuase i am in transit to a new house and my disk is in storage.
    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Try resetting the prefs by reading this link:
