Hiding Adobe Bridge CC at startup

Is there a way to hide Adobe Bridge CC at startup? Currently, it launches and takes over my entire screen.

If you do not want to start Br at login, Follow below mentioned steps:
In Bridge , choose Edit > Preferences (for Windows) or Adobe Bridge > Preferences (for Mac OS).
Choose Advanced.
Uncheck Start Bridge At Login.
You can enable this option at any time.

Adobe Bridge Always Opens CS2

Recent thunderstorn activity caused several rapid cycling of power on and off to my computer. Now have some change in behavior as how Adobe Bridge and PhotoShop CS2 interact. Previously I could open Bridge (ver. 1.0.4.6) as a standalone app and make my raw edits. Now upon trying to open Bridge, CS2 always opens first and then Bridge. CS2 always remains in the background. I am not able to open Bridge as atandalone. While this is not a major problem, it is certainly different from the workflow to which I was accustomed. I reinstalled Bridge and ACR 3.7 but same symptons present. Should I reinstall CS2? Any ideas??

I never had CS2, but in CS3 open PS and in the preferences section there is an option to "start Bridge on login". I don't recall an option to start PS at startup.
Might check the OS startup preferences.
If all else fails you can reset the preferences for Bridge and Photoshop. Believe for CS2 you have to press and hold down the ctrl + alt + shift while clicking on icon to start program.

No messageto see, but you can check your Startup Scripts in Bridge preferences. Mine are like this:

Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working -again

After many months of pain caused by Bridge CC not working it seemed to be cleared up in Sept '14. (I used just about every fix that was suggested incl. preferences changed to have no program load on startup, managing cache, etc.) I has been working flawlessly until today. My pc notified re: windows updates were ready to install. I cleaned my pc, closed all programs and installed 23 updates. (Win7, 64bit) Updates seemed to install cleanly but Bridge CC will not open and displays a white screen and the msg "Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working" This began immediately after the os updates were installed so I suspected that was the issue. I restored the pc to before the updates and CC will still not open (stopped) and in desperation I tried Bridge CS6. CS6 opened normally and I was able to open a folder. Touching the space bar should have opened the selected file to full screen image but instead I got the same error msg now saying Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working. I have the same programs on my laptop and CC opens and works properly. So that sounds like my pc and not Bridge is the problem but there is an incompatibility somewhere and I am stuck and my work is piling up as I speak. I need my bridge back!

This problem has been solved by Microsoft, rebuilt Win7. I would like to delete my question to reduce clutter here but I don't know how to delete it. A moderator may delete this if they wish or someone can add to my reply and instruct me. Thanks!

Adobe Bridge CS6 Mac cannot be launched

Dear Adobe community!
I just installed my brand new CS6 Design & Web Premium Suite on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.3 and installed all of the available CS6 updates.
Unfortunately I cannot launch Bridge (version 5.0.2.4) from my account (admin privileges) - after double clicking the icon the application window shows up for just a fraction of a second and I receive a pop-up window saying something like "operation could not be completed successfully" (I am running a German language version).
- Trying to start Bridge from PS results in the same error mesage.
- Trashing the Bridge preference file did not change anything.
- Starting Bridge with the option key pressed and forcing reset of all parameters to default does not change anything.
- Booting my Mac into safe mode (pressing shift key on startup) does not help.
But creating a new user on my single-user Mac allows to launch Bridge when logged in to that new account.
I'd be more than happy to receive some helpful coments from the experts around here!

Update - problem finally solved!
What happened in between:
I started a chat session with one of the Adobe support guys. He said that the cause for the malfunction was most likely a conflict with permissions.
After I told him that I had tried to repair permissions several times by Apple's Disk Utility without success he suggested me to copy the following file / directory from my newly generated "Test" user (under whom Bridge could be launched effortlessly):
[username]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.bridge5.0.plist
and the whole directoy
[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS6
If that would not resolve my problem there was no other "cure" for my problem because of an irreparable permission conflict.
After that I logged in under the new user "Test" and copied the mentioned files / directoy to a separate drive, logged in back as my standard user (the account where Bridge refused to start) and overwrote the files I had just exported before.
Result: Same problems - Bridge refused to start as before.
Dang...
So there is no way to solve this problem like Adobe said?
Presuming that the pending permission problem was the cause for my Bridge-issue I decided to "force" permissions:
I went to OS X Finder, marked the home directoy of my problematic account, typed cmd + I to open the info window, went to the bottom section where permissions are listed, wnet to the user group "admin" and marked this group as "read and write" (it was read only before!) and chose the option to apply theses settings to all of the sub-directories and files (icon with the gear-wheel).
After the changes where applied I restarted my Mac and logged in as my standard user and opened Bridge:
Bridge started but showed the sub-directories of my "Test" account. So I shut down Bridge, deleted the com.adobe.bridge5.0.plist file from my standard account, rebooted my Mac - and voilà - Bridge works like a charme!
FInally I wouldn't say that there was no "plan B"...
Maybe this workaround can be helpful for someone out there!

Oliver

Finding the Adobe Bridge CC cache

I'm running Bridge CC along with PS, and I'm having problems with the cache.The best advice seems to be to trash the cache and reloadt, but Bridge Preferences says the cache is located at /User/Library/Caches/Adobe Bridge CC/Cache/ and I can't find it. In fact, I can't find any Adobe cache folder anywhere, for any adobe product. The Library/Cache/ folder shows only Apple and caches for my two printers. I suspect this is Apple hiding such things, and maybe that's a generally good idea but I do need to get in there to handle this problem,
Brian

You're welcome.
There are three "Library's" : root, system, and user's (if you have multiple users, each user has a library).
Root: /Library/
System: /System/Library/
User: /Users/yourusername/Library ( or, simply ~/Library). The tilde + slash indicates your user account.

Help, which windows Service msut be on to run Adobe Bridge CS3?

hi all,
I'm having trouble opening Adobe Bridge CS3, theres a windows popup that says "Adobe Bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close" error message when i try to start.
I can run the other Adobe Cs3 applications fine, i've been playing around with the disabling of windows services to increase bootup time. i'm afraid i may have accidentally disabled something necessary
pls advice on how to get it working.. i'm on win xp pro sp2
thanks

When you get the "Bridge has encountered an error" popup box, check the technical info hyperlink to see what's the problem. It may point to a DLL that had an error.
From there, check the web to see what that DLL relates to, which may or may not give you a lead. Maybe something that needs to be running in WinXP, maybe a 3rd party product that needs to be fixed/removed/re-installed.
Why do I say this? I had the same issue on Bridge after getting the trial version. Worked for a while, then suddenly stopped working with the same startup dialog box and a quick shutdown. Digging a bit as above pointed to a DLL that was related to Quicktime. I went to the Apple site and downloaded/installed the latest version of Quicktime, and the Brige problem was cured.

Adobe Bridge crashing after updating to Yosemite

Adobe Bridge CC crashes my iMAC 27" forcing a restart since updating to Yosemite. Bridge will launch okay if i am seeing images in thumnail view, switch folders and show images, but pressing the space bar for a full screen preview results in a grey screen for a few seconds followed by an OS message that the system has crashed and needs to restart.
This has happened over as many times i tried opening files in Adobe Bridge, by pressing spacebar by defult the images open fulllsceen but now imac restarts.
I have sent 4 times report to apple but no luck.

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

Adobe Bridge Tools

Hello,
I need to change a lot of pictures from RGB to CMYK. To do this I opened Adobe Bridge and under Tools, I am supposed to scroll down and see Photoshop so I can then access Image Processor. I can only see Illustrator there. Any idea why this is happening. I there anything I need to reset?
Thank you

Without the startup script for PS you can not commuinicate with it. Google this. Might also try resetting preferences. Hold CRtl key or alt key and start Bridge. Should get a reset window.

Adobe Bridge to nowhere

Missing big time from Adobe MAX: Adobe Bridge. What will it be? Upgrade it or terminate it?
I’d really like to know what will happen to Adobe Bridge, probably the worst product Adobe has ever produced. Sadly, there is nothing else comparable elsewhere, and so I must use it constantly.
I’ve learned to put up with its sluggish++ performance, reliable ability to crash 10+ times a day and the painful building and re-buildings and re-re-building of its cache.
For I long while I used Extensis Portfolio (the Old Macromedia/Adobe "Fetch") but the stand-alone version of that App has been replaced by a new “server” version that, at $2K per license, is unjustifiably expensive.
Adobe Bridge, then, has NO competition and, at the same time, it barely works …
So, can anyone offer a slight glimpse of hope for the future? (No, Lightroom, does not cut it as it only deals with raster images)
Will Adobe fix Bridge or is it, ultimately, a "Bridge to nowhere"?
Thank you.

I have had Bridge from CS4 to the present CC and have not experienced multiple crashes in a day. I use it on the PC and Mac. I'm thinking there are other factors involved. Aside from prefs, there are startup scripts and other things you need to investigate. I wonder if it's just doing this on your one machine or several.
I suspect something is making it a mad skunk, and finding out what is going can get you back on track. You will also need to check with the Bridge forum and talk with experienced forum members who can assist you far better. Here's the link.

We are users like yourself and it's better to get help than to wait for Adobe to address and code a new version of Bridge that may still have problems on your setup.

Scripts in Adobe Bridge not loading

Startup Scripts in Adobe Bridge not loading when I am in my admin account. I made a new account and the scripts load fine. Is there a permission issue or something? Adobe and I tracked it to a system issue and they left me there. Other than setting up this new account and just using that, is there any alturnitives that will help me keep my current account and make Bridge load right?
Hal Gage

You need to check two things:
1) are you uploading the new files each time you make any change?
2) Are you clearing the browser cache just in cache it is not refreshing because of the same name?
When you have checked these two things and if the problem persists then you will need to upload the page and provide a link here to others to check in their browsers and to see if all the pictures are online.
Hope this helps.

Trying to install AOM in Bridge CC but can't find the "Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions" folder - where is it? Thank you!

After updating to 10.9.2 the Finder changed and I feel something is hiding - for example, I no longer seem to be able to "GET INFO" about my hardrive... only my drive and "my documents" etc... maybe this has something to do with not being able to find this folder: Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions

Jeff... Yes. I meant to mark this solved - found another thread recommending using FINDER-GO TO- and /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions.
It worked easy.
That little bit of info would be a great addition to that install AOM instructions.
Thank you for asking!

AE can't open files in Adobe Bridge

I have been using CS4 AE for a few months now, suddenly I can not browse my presets in Adobe Bridge. Even if I go to file_Reveal in Adobe Bridge, nothing comes up, nothing_no file shows up. I looked at Adobe Bridge, AE does associate with the Bridge.
No problems with Premiere and PS. Any place can I tweak to make this work?
Please help!

Thanks again for your help.
I went to Edit_Preferences and can see the Bridge be started on Login. The Startup Script shows the Bridge is associated with all programs in Premium Studio. My Quicktime is up to date. As I said before, there is no problems with PS or PPRO.
I have found that if I open AE, then go to File_Reveal in Bridge or Browse Presets from AE, there is nothing shown up, i.e. no response from AB. But then if I open the Bridge from Start Menu when AE is opened, it will show what I requested from AE.
What do you think? Is startup script corrupted? Thank you again.
