How do I backup CS4 Photoshop and Bridge settings?

I am being forced to get a new computer and need to know the quickest and easiest (and least techie) way to back up all my settings from both bridge (like workspaces) and Photoshop including keyboard shortcuts, actions, and probably several other ones I haven't even thought of. I am currently using Windows XP and will be importing them in to Windows 7. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Here is a document that provides some of the file locations. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82893.html
For keywords go to brige and in upper right hand corner of keywords pannel click drop down box. Choose export and save file to disk.
Be sure to deactivate (PS Help/deactivate) copy on old computer and then reactivate on new computer.
Best to not copy program, but do installation from disks.

How do I get around the U44M1210 error? Both Photoshop and Bridge

I have dried for months to update Photoshop and Bridge. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both, but still get error. They reinstall, but they can't apply a patch.

I am not flash wit Mac systems, but with Windows 7 and 8.1, we restart the computer, and open the Application manager as Administrator by right clicking its icon. The official help page should get you fixed

Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

So could I take everything off my external hard drive, save it to my Mac, then re-format it for my Mac and move everything back to the external hard drive?
Yes. Keep in mind that you need to back up all data, including the data on an external drive. So if you're going to use the external drive to store original data, as opposed to backups, then you really need another one to back up the first one. You also need to back up the data on your internal drive, of course. This isn't optional. You must do it, or you'll lose everything sooner or later. All disk drives fail eventually, often with no warning.
If I do that how do I format the external hard drive for my Mac?
Launch the Disk Utility application and search the built-in help for "erase."
Would it be easier to just buy a external hard drive that is for a Mac?
All external hard drives work with Macs. Some might come pre-formatted for use with Macs, but it only takes a few minutes to do that yourself.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera. How can I get my files open to view and edit? I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3. Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file" ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
Please help!!!

Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right? Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
LR5 is available as a standalone version.
PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
PS-CS6 can be found on this page: Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

Can't view thumbnails in cs4 photoshop or bridge

Hi,
I can't view cs2 or DNG files thumbnails in CS4 photoshop or bridge. I'm using vista 64 home premium and recently had to reinstall cs4 on a new disc. It worked fine before on my old disc but now it doesn't.
I've searched through the various topics on this, I've only got one copy of the correct file (Camera Raw.8bi) in the correct folders, CS4 is shown in the bridge / edit / prefs / file type associations.
I can click on a file and it opens in bridge but I just can't see the thumbs.
One point though - the DNG convertor states that it needs camera raw v 7.1 or later so maybe that's why I can't read the dng file (even though I can open them) but it doesn't explain why I can't see the cr2 files.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Doug

If purging the cache doesn't work, the ACR plug-in (which is called Camera Raw.8bi) may be in the wrong place.
It should be in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
There is another plug-ins folder in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\ Adobe CS3 folder. If the ACR plug-in is in there, delete it.

Can't get Camera Raw widow to open between Photoshop and Bridge.

Okay, so I can't get the Camera Raw editing window to open between Photoshop and Bridge on my new computer. I used Migration Assist and synced up all files from my old computer, and the Camera Raw setting still works fine on my old Laptop. And even images that I edited/adjusted in Camera raw, they automatically pop up in Camera Raw on my new computer, but images that have not been openned in Camera Raw before, don't automaticlly open in Camera Raw editing window?
How do I fix this so that all images open through Camera Raw window before in Photoshop??

What kind of file format, raw or JPEG? If JPEG then you'll need to set your Camera Raw Preferences correctly to have JPEGs open in Camera Raw.

Photoshop and Bridge CS5 does not auto rotate SOME images.

Photoshop and Bridge CS5 does not rotate SOME of my vertical images. Most other photos taken in the same time frame and with the same camera display perfectly.
Orientation is checked for display under Preferences, Metadata, Camera Data.
There also seems to be a discrepancy how Orientation is described under Metadata for those images which DO auto rotate : sometimes it is -90 (which is how I hold the camera for verticals and which displays on most verticals) and sometimes it is "normal" even when it has auto rotated the image. I do not understand this difference.
"Normal" is also used to describe the orientation of those images which DO NOT auto rotate for viewing.
The photos in questions were taken using a Nikon D-300 which is programmed to indicate the orientation of the camera and has always been programmed to do so.
I know I can manually change the orientation but we are talking about hundreds of images (I have over 10,000 photos in all; most of which display fine).
What should I be looking for to explain and correct this issue?
I appreciate anything you can do to help. Thank you.

Thanks for responding to my query. I'll check out the thumbnail size.
It is just so curious that 90% of the verticals auto rotate and the rest do not. The ones that do not rotate are even from different years (other images in those years work fine), although all taken with the same camera.

I am a student and I want to buy Photoshop and Bridge CS6. It has taken me sometime to get the money together and I dont seem to be able to buy it.

My photoshop and bridge updated when I rebooted. My desktop link no longer opens up.

How do I get the link back so I can see al the programs available as well as open the ones I downloaded?

Thanks John. I finally hooked up with a fellow on the CC chat. The update to Photoshop and Bridge removed my CC link. It is now reinstalled and life is good. Thanks for the suggestion.
I will keep that link for any future issues.
All the best
Andrew

Had to pick a recover point to a week ago - can't find PhotoShop and Bridge but CC says they are downloaded.

I have had mega computer issues today - had to recover back to a week ago and in the process lost my PhotoShop and Bridge - According to the website they are downloaded and on my computer...does anyone know how to uninstall if they don't show up, so I can reinstall them? They don't show up anywhere - it has been a very long frustrating day.
I am using Windows 7 and before I had to recover everything, about my adobe products, was working great. I just installed the trial versions on the 4th of October. Thanks for your help!

I think I finally found the place to uninstall both of them, going to try that and then reinstall. If that helps I will come in here and delete this post.
Actually since it took me a couple of hours to figure it out. One of the reasons it took me so long is that I only found one other discussion question even remotely touched on this subject. The problem was, the question was asked 2 years ago, and the instructions weren't in the same place. I ended up going to the Creative Cloud screen, hovered over the right side of the screen and a little gear (settings) showed up and the only option available when I did that was "Uninstall". I clicked on that and when it was gone, I was again given the option of downloading them again. At least my day is ending with less stress than it started.

When trying to update my CC apps, the update fails. I get this error: Update Failed. There was an error installing this update. Please try again later or connect customer support. This is currently happening for InDesign, Photoshop and Bridge. I had this problem previous and was able to fix by doing a complete wipe of my computer and reinstalling CC. However, I should not have to wipe my computer clean everytime I need to do a CC update. HELP!

I have recently updated the new apps via creative cloud now photoshop and bridge no longer work, they open then say they have encountered a problem and close, I also tried opening the old version of photo shop but getting the same result

What OS version? What's the exact error? Exactly when does the error occur? What previous versions? What is on the screen when the error displays? Does Photoshop get fully open?
Try opening Photoshop holding down Shift key immediately to turn off plug-ins. Lots of good suggestions here: Photoshop: Basic Troubleshooting steps to fix most issues

How can I quit (close) Photoshop and keep all windows so that the next time I open Photoshop all the files that I had open are there already in the same position as when I closed Photoshop?
I've been a Fireworks user for over 10 years and just switched to Photoshop. I cannot find a setting that will enable all my file windows to reopen when I quit Photoshop. This is really a problem since I often work on several files at the same time.
Please let me know if the feature exists or point me to where I can post a message for a new feature to be implemented. The feature is a must for any designer working on large projects.
Thanks!

There is no such functionality. You could perhaps create a script that stores that info in a custom text file and arranges them accordingly in the workspace, but that's as good as it gets...
