CS6 Bridge won't work in MAC X 10.8.2

Hello People,
I just spent an entire WEEK with Adobe on the phone trying to solve the problem of adobe bridge not opening / working on a MAC. Nothing is working and adobe keeps putting me off, referring it to the next "level" of help. Their service is terrible. They promise to call me back at certain times and do not call back. They refer me to another level within thier departments and the supervisors don't honor their promises. I spend hours of time on hold. I am FEED UP with this problem and the lack of respect from Adobe.
They keep trying to change the "permission" files of read and write within the "users" and it is not working. They go around and around trying the same fix that does not work.
Does ANYONE have help? Has anyone found the correct level of help at Adobe?
Who at Adobe is actually knowledgable with fixing this problem?
How many of "us" are out there with the same problem?
We must unite and get this fixed.
All I can find is info that it can be fixed on a PC. I even called Mac and they have no help. They refer me to Adobe.
Please respond.
Thank you,
Amy

Does ANYONE have help? Has anyone found the correct level of help at Adobe?
That depends on what you need, what version of Bridge are you trying to install on OSX 10.8.2 and what is the exact version number of it. Do you have a CS suite or a stand alone app like PS that has Bridge in it.
And did you already try to hold down the option key while starting Bridge and from the provided pop up window choose reset preferences?
How many of "us" are out there with the same problem?
I can't tell but I use Bridge CS6 without problems on OSX 10.8.2 and I know a lot others that do also.

new version of safari won't work on mac 10.7.5, can't be removed, can't be replaced with old version

When I try to open safari a message says: You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X 10.7.5. The application requires Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
I see Recovery needs Wi Fi which is not available here and Recovery is loaded with a list of potential disasters.
To heck with Safari I'll just use Firefox. Apple sure screwed up here judging from the multitude of similar complaints on the internet.

GoDaddy won't work in Mac Mail

Hi guys,
mac Mail is doing my head in!!! I launched a website for my business using GoDaddy as my hosting and I'm trying to add my account to mail but nothing works. I've been on the phone to godly and they went through all possible solutions and came to the conclusion its an apple problem. They said apple mail might have a specific port that I need to use for an external client or something like that? Anyone got any help? I can;t get a hold of anyone from apple, their support is useless unless you pay for it!!

I posted this problem a couple of days ago. I have 50 or more groups, some with several hundreds of names & these groups no longer import. I have gone to apple genius bar & they are clueless. Apparently apple opted to make maverick work for gmail but now it won't work for mac mail.

External Toshiba drive won't work on Mac after using on PC

My Toshiba External USB drive stopped working on my Mac air after I downloaded some files on a PC. It worked numerous times on the PC and then I brought it back home to use on Mac. Now, it won't show up on finder but can be found on Disk utility. I cannot manually mount it there. Repair disk and verify seem to finish but still won't mount. It was originally formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The PC did not prompt me to re-format or do anything to the Hard drive.
How can I get it to work on Mac again?
Thank you.

Good day haynechi,
If your external hard drive will not mount on your MacBook Air but it will show up in Disk Utility, you may need to erase the hard drive in order to get it to show up on the Mac again. NOTE - this process will destroy any data on the drive, so be sure you have anything on there backed up somewhere else before you begin!

Wacom Intuos Tablet Touch Function Won't Work On Mac OS X

Hi there,
I recently purshased a Wacom Intos pen & touch tablet, model CTH-480. But the touch function won't work.
I've done the following, but it still won't work:
1. Re-install the driver to the latest. (Driver Driver 6.3.8-2 from http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers/)
2. Turned on the switch on the tablet. Whenever I touch the tablet, the blue signal light at the top-right corner will be on.
3. In the app named "Wacom Desktop Center", the "Touch Settings" shows "Touch On". So the software is configured well.
4. In the "System Preferences" --> "Walcom Tablets", the "Touch Options" is available and is able to configure. There's no option there which saya "Enable Touch Input" as seen in some tutorials online.
The other functions are perfect. I can use the pen, I can set custom functions to all buttons on the tablet.
Someone meet similar problems before? I sincerely appreciate your help!
Best Regards,
A new Walcom user in desperate

I had the same exact problem. No matter what I did, tablet LED lights and diagnostic testing mode indicated touch sensors working but no corresponding screen functions. This included removing the app/plist installation through CleanMyMac 2 and a subsequent reinstall. You may have fixed your problem by now but Wacom customer support sent me this advice within a day and it worked for me on first try. Touch gesture and pen functions seem to work equally well now.
Key is to use the uninstall utility within the Wacom app itself.
Thank you for contacting Wacom Customer Care. The problem that you received maybe cause by a corrupted driver file. While you may have already reinstalled the driver, please follow these specific instructions:
Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
Once the software is removed, restart the computer
Once this is complete, download and install the latest 6.38 driver from: (Current as of Aug 2014)
http://cdn.wacom.com/u/productsupport/drivers/mac/professional/WacomTablet_6.3.8 -2.dmg
As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer. Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior.

Audio interface console (app) won't work on Mac Pro

Hello there!
I just bought a new Mac Pro and did a clean install of all my apps. Everything seems to be working fine except one thing: my audio interface's console.
I'm using an Audiofire 4 interface, which has little physical controls on it. I've been using its console software on my iMac and on my MacBook Pro to control it. Last night I installed the software from the CD on the Mac Pro and it won't work!
I launch the application from my home folder on my boot disk (SSD). I also tried installing it on the data HDD and still no luck: when I try to launch it it closes immediately. All my macs are on the same version of SN so that shouldn't be the problem.
Anyone has a few ideas? I use my computer a lot for music so this has to work or I may have to return to the iMac...
Thanks in advance!

Update: this morning I installed the Audiofire Console successfully on my Windows partition (on another hard drive). I then came back to OSX (on my SSD) and this time the app, instead of immediately opening and closing, beachballed the whole system. The console gave me this:

My volume won't work on mac pro

My volume won't work on my Macbook Pro. The button works and I can see the volume being turned up/down, but no sound comes out! I tried everything in the volume section of System Preferences. Does anybody know what I can do? Thanks!

Try a PRAM reset:
If no success, look in the audio output port. If there is a red light, the internal switch is stuck. Insert the headphione jack a few times and see if that will trip the switch.
Ciao.

CS6 won't work in Mac OS 10.6.8. Please help

After successful installation on iMac with OS 10.6.8, none of the CS components (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc) will open (message "not supported on this Mac"). This is contrary to the stated CS6 system requirements at www.adobe.com and is exceedingly frustrating. Please help.

Hi there,
Mac 10.6.8 is compatible to install CS6. But please check the processor and other system requirements which you are using. You require Multi-processor to activate CS6. You can check the system requirements under "Apple icon > About this Mac".

Pse8 on Mac OSX 10.5.8 - Bridge won't work

Hi,
I have just installed pse8 on my iMac. When I click on the Bridge icon or select Bridge in the welcome screen nothing happens.
Bridge CS4 is installed in my applications folder but when I double click on it I get the following error message:
You can't open 'Adobe Bridge CS4' because it is not supported on this architecture.
Very grateful for any help.
Regards,
Nick

Apologies for going quiet for a couple of days. I have been investigating a couple of other lines of enquiry and I am delighted to be able to tell you that I have found a solution to my problem with Bridge.
May I first of all say a very big thank you to Barbara, Ankush and Maize to replying to my original post and making some very helpful suggestions. I appreciate the time and research that went into your replies for which I am very grateful.
I contacted Adobe Support and they replied:
' Nick, I would like to inform you that, I researched on it and found that
other users are also facing the same problem. You can check it here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/370664?tstart=0
This problem can be because of your Operating System, what I can
suggest
you, please try to contact Apple for this issue, and I will research
more on it.'
At first sight the reply seemed less than helpful and seemed to pass the back to Apple but as it turned out, the seeds of the solution were there.
Firstly I visited the link given and the original poster had the same problem with Bridge but had installed it with CS4. The discussion ran to 47 replies with some quite acrimonious exchanges but no solution. What most people thought was that the installation disk or download had become corrupted.
So I uninstalled my copy of Elements (installed from CD) and downloaded the trial version form the Adobe web site. But no luck , the problem still remained.
A good friend of mine had told me that he had recently purchased Elements 8 and as his iMac has an identical spec to mine and running OS10.5.8. I phoned him and discovered that his installation had worked fine and Bridge loaded with no problems.
Just ot make sure that my problem was not down to a the (very unlikely) possibility corrupted disk I lent my copy to another friend and, guess what? yep it loaded and ran faultlessly.
Now the only thing that my two friends had in common was that neither of them had installed any Adobe software previously except Acrobat, so I began to think along the lines that the root of the problem was in the fact that I was running CS3 (CS Bridge worked fine) but some while ago I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CS4 then deleted it after the trial period ran out.
By this time I was thinking that I had nothing else left to try other than (to me) the fairly radical approach of uninstalling CS3 (I have the full Design Premium Suite that I use professionally). I was really reluctant to do this in case I had problems re installing and was suddenly left without a means of earning an income - unlikely I'm sure but it's the sort of thing that goes round and round in your head at 3 in the morning. In any event I don't really need Bridge as long as I have a working copy of the Elements 8 it would really suffice for teaching my digital imaging class.
One phrase also kept coming back to me - the error message when I tried to open Bridge - 'Not supported on this Architecture'. I had already been thinking along these lines when I posted the question about whether Elements 8 required Snow Leopard, but then Maize had replied that his works fine under 10.5.8
What the heck, it must be worth a try. So I dug out the Snow Leopard update disk that had been sitting in my desk draw since August. I made Time Machine do one final backup and carried out the update. It was quite scary!! It took about 45 minutes including quite a long period when I was presented with a blank light blue screen and nothing seemed to be happening but eventually all was well and by familiar desktop background appeared with everything seeming to be intact.
So I re installed Elements and with some trepidation clicked on the bridge icon.
SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!! IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no idea why updating the OS had the desired effect but maybe someone with a lot more technical knowledge and experience could explain why as I would be fascinated to know.
One again many thanks for everyone's assistance.
Regards,
Nick

CS6 Bridge freezes up on my Mac when I access an external drive

I get an error message to purge my cash almost every time I start Bridge. I should have taken care of this before but didn't because it didn't keep me from doing what I needed to do. Now I've added my external drives and whenever I try to access them, it freezes up as well as giving me the message to purge my cash. It also never loads any images and looks like it's just running. Now I can't get it to do anything even when I force quit and restart it, and I'm stuck! Any suggestions? I have an iMac that is a year old, OSX Mavericks, CS6 with all updates. Thank you!

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

Try rebuilding both your Photoshop and your Bridge preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop or Bridge, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?", in Bridge click Yes to all three options.
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:
