How to reinstall Bridge CS6?

After severe trouble with Bridge CS6 (did not start up anymore) I decided to uninstall and reinstall it to get rid of the problems.
But, how can I reinstall Bridge since it is not listed in the Apllication Manager?

not as easy as most mac programs (with the drag and drop into trash option).
Only simple applications can be done so but then all other info written to libraries like prefs and presets are still on your machine.
Since you are both on a Mac can you both specify your machine (type, RAM, free disk space left and OS version)
To clarify
I'm on a MacPro with 32 GB RAM and SSD having always at least 25 % free and a separate scratch disk for PS dedicated.
Using 10.8.3 I have CS6 via Creative Cloud and also Indesign, Illustrator and Premiere Pro and Acrobat Pro installed without any problems.
You can uninstall using the official uninstallers that are either in the parent application folders or in the Utilities folder / Adobe installers, inhere are all uninstallers.
Once thing have been messed up the fastest way is to back up all important settings (presets, keywords, actions and all other customized settings and third party plug ins)
Then use the uninstallers combined with deleting prefs and use the Adobe Cleaner tool (read the instruction before starting to uninstall) The clean tool removes most preferences and settings left but there will be still some files left on your system.
Mostly user library preferences and application support.
You can check your self or use 'easy find' (free search engine from Devon) to get other left overs from Adobe visible.
Then do system maintenance with check and repair disk permissions and finally install CS6 again.

Error "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system. To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6"

Hi all,
We are having issues with Adobe Bridge working properly with Photoshop. When trying to access Bridge through Photoshop we receive the following error "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system. To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6"
- We have the Master Collection CS6 installed
- Bridge CS6 is working fine as a stand-alone program
- This is installed on Windows 7 x64
- I am unable to find an uninstall location for Bridge CS6, it is not under control panel > Adobe Master Suite
- All adobe products are up-to-date as of this morning.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Does not make a difference is bridge is open or not.
Yes, we are accessing it through File/browse in bridge.
OK, back to square 1.
Does Bridge work normally? Does it load Bridge CS6 or does CS5 come up? Only one version can run at same time.
If you double click on an image it opens in CS6?

No, you're never going to find it there.
In CS6, the Adobe uninstaller is inside the Adobe Photoshop CS6 folder, which in turn is inside the Root Applications folder.

How to modify Bridge CS6 default sub-folder date format while importing?

How could I modify Bridge CS6 default sub-folder date format when we are importing images from a connected camera? Default format for shooting date is aaaammjj. I would like instead aaaa_mm_jj. How could I add "_" to the date format?

You only can do so after the import process using a third party app called A better finder Rename, originally designed for Mac but they seem to have a Windows version also:

How to reinstall bridge CS2

My computer went down last week and I had to get a new hard drive. I made a mess trying to put everything back on the new hard drive. I had to reinstall Photoshop and ImageReady from the disk. As I am having trouble with Bridge I would like to reinstall that as well. I have thrown away the Bridge folder, however I do not see where on the CD I can reinstall Bridge? I have Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium and run Mac 10.4.

Unfortunately, you can't install Bridge by itself.

How to buy Bridge CS6

I was told by Adobe Tech support that I have a perpetual license to DW6 but only a 30 day trial license to Bridge (did not specify version) so apparently it is NOT included with Dreamweaver.
This page has a link to buy Bridge CS6
Bridge Help | Help and tutorials
but that link only goes to this page where there is no mention of purchasing Bridge:
Creative Suite 6
Elsewhere I have read that Bridge CC is included free as part of Creative Cloud membership, which basic membership is free, but that sounds too good to be true:
Understanding Adobe Creative Cloud (Professional Photographer Magazine Web Exclusives)
Does Adobe have anything to offer a conscientious objector to the new 'leasing' model or do I just do without until someone develops something comparable?
Thanks in advance!

The Photoshop CS6 perpetual version comes with Bridge and is still available from Adobe. You cannot buy Bridge separately nor can you install it by itself.
It does come for free with Photoshop and with the Creative Suite (because the suite includes Photoshop).
Bridge started out as Photoshop's File Browser, nothing more, and it has bin jerry-rigged to work with other applications of the suite. It remains only a file browser, nothing more, and not a very robust one at that.

How to reinstall Photoshop CS6?

An update to Photoshop CS6 failed. The error message indicated I had to reinstall the program. I believe I originally downloaded it. How do I reinstall it?

Please download the setup again from Internet and keep a copy of it for future use.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-download s.html
Please download both files, Navigate to the directory where you saved the installation files and double-click the .exe(file1), this would extract the installation files.
After the files finish extracting, the installer launches automatically. If it doesn’t, go to the folder that contains the extracted files. Double-click Set-up.exe to begin installation.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install
When prompted for a serial number, enter your serial number and complete the installation.
Follow the instructions mentioned carefully.

Run it, reinstall everything. AME is tied to Premiere, so there never was a separate installer/ uninstaller to begin with.

How to reinstall CS6 InDesign by itself from the CS6 Design and Web Premium Student and Teacher Disc?

Hello,
I would like to know how to reinstall the CS6 InDesign. Is it possible to do it without reinstalling the entire disc?

The CS6 Suite is already installed in the Mac pro using Yosemite. When I went to open InDesign its said something about it could not open and metioned a plug in couldn't open please reinstall InDesign. That's why I was asking how to reinstall it from the disc it came from without reinstalling the entire suite again from the disc? It wasn't downloaded online. Is it possible?

Bridge CS6 workspaces suddenly greyed; content panel is only active item

I am running CS6 and OS X 10.8.5. Everything was fine, and today suddenly Bridge has stopped working properly. Under the Window menu, workspaces are greyed. Under the View menu, As thumbnails, As details, As list are greyed/disabled.
Bridge appears to be locked into the Light Box workspace, except that there is no preview panel. The only panel available is the Content panel; when I select one or more files, there is/are no previews.
This is what the window looks like.
So far, these are the things I have tried, to no avail:
I have restarted the computer, restarted Bridge, I have purged the cache, disabled startup scripts.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

First try to delete the Bridge plist file from the user library.
Quit Bridge and go to the user library (by default hidden per OSX10.7, use menu Go with option to reveal).
User (your user name) / library/ Preferences / inhere find and manual delete the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist".
Again hold down option key while restart and again reset prefs.
If this is not working I'm afraid you have to reinstall Bridge CS6. First be sure you have backed up your keyword list if you have one and also look in the aforementioned user library but now Application Support / Adobe/ Bridge CS6. Copy this folder and content to a back up place for security. Inhere all are sort of custom settings including your custom workspaces, so if needed you can copy some of these setting back to the same folders and location of your new install.
Repeat this also for Photoshop (both same library / app support and preferences) for back up security of your custom settings because Bridge is part of PS install in CS6.
Be sure to have your install disk or image file for PSCS6 at hand including the serial number. Use the official uninstaller and once you are doing so also try the Adobe Cleaner Tool :
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html (read the instructions carefully before acting).
Run Apple disk utility to check and repair permissions and then reinstall PSCS6 that also installs Bridge CS6. Run the updaters and try again.
And a final thought, before doing the above create a new user account for testing and see if this helps. Sometimes User Accounts get corrupted and Bridge is very sensitive for that. MacOsX recovery disk can help to recreate the problem user account.

Unable to open Bridge CS6 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 8

I have been using Bridge CS6 successfully until I installed Photoshop Elements 8 to use with a scanner I bought. After the installation, when clicking on Bridge CS6 it opens Bridge CS5. I had a look at some of the forums and tried Ctrl-clicking on Bridge CS6, but it still opens Bridge CS5. I have also re-installed Photoshop CS6 in the hope that this will fix it. Any suggestions as how to get Bridge CS6 going again will be appreciated!

Thanks for the replies. I was able to sort this myself after I watched the the following video on how to reset the Adobe preferences: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/ I did the manual reset where I moved only the preference file to another location e.g. the Desktop. I restarted my computer. Closed Bridge CS5 that was running in the background and then clicked on Bridge CS6 and the program opened. I decided to take a chance to see if this won't fix it and was elated when it worked. Don't ask my why, but it did the job!

I am unable to access Bridge CS6 within Photoshop CS6

I am unable to access Bridge CS6 within Photoshop CS6 using the File menu>Browse in Bridge. Instead, I receive an error message stating that "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system. To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6". Also, Mini Bridge fails to connect with Bridge CS6. Any suggestions? I'm using Mac Operating System 10.6.8

Hi Pragya,
I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop CS6 and the problem has not been solved. The only way I am able to open Bridge is through its own application folder. Once I'm in Bridge, I can access Photoshop CS6 by going to the file menu and choosing Open With > Photoshop CS6. Bridge seems to be able to comminicate with Photoshop CS6 but Photoshop CS6 is unable to recognize or find Bridge CS6. Any other suggests? Thank you.

How do I start the script for Photoshop CS6 in Bridge CS6 image processor ?

I am new to Bridge and I am lookiing for a way to batch process images. I opened 'preferences' and did not find Photoshop CS6 under the script list. How do I open and run the image processor? Thanks for any help!!

I have clicked on 'tools' within Bridge but there is no 'Photoshop' in the drop-down menu.
Misread your post a bit and see you want the image processor, however, this should be in the same location as the Batch option. If you don't have Photoshop in that list it means the start up script is not active or not installed properly.
First check Bridge preferences / Start up scripts and see if Photoshop is listed inhere and has a checkmark in front. If no checkmark then set it to on, restart Bridge and try again. If no Start upScript at all first try restart Bridge holding down option key (Mac) or ctrl (Win) and choose reset preferences.
If still no luck try a reinstall of PSCS6 to also reinstall Bridge again. (you first have to uninstall PSCS6, be sure to have a back up of custom settings etc).

Hi,
I have downloaded photoshop CS5 trial. It came with Bridge CS5.1. Now, I have subscribed to Adobe Cloud with Photoshop and bridge CS6. But I still have Bridge CS5.1. How can I uninstall it please ?

You need to uninstall PS CS5.1 and then reinstall CS6 to fix file associations.
