I can't run adobe bridge cs6.  Weeks trying to get Adobe support - no help

I read something about people using cc being able to move a folder from common files to the bridge folder and that fixed their problem.  Not so lucky on my end.
It's been 4 weeks, something like the equivalent of 5 - 7 DAYS on hold, never reaching anyone who actually knew how to fix this. 
I had cs6 properly installed for a couple of weeks on my win7 desktop and my win8 laptop (both 64 bit).  Then out of the blue, bridge just stopped working. 
Although I've done everything I've been told -- uninstalled, run cc cleaner from adobe, reinstalled. Done that multiple times, and once through every folder on the computer to eliminate adobe stuff, then reinstalled and no luck.  Tried moving the folder, no luck. 
Bridge won't even load - it just gives me an error message and there's no way I can load it.  Adobe insisted that I create a new admin and install PS and BR there.  It did work, but did not allow me to use my main login and run bridge.  So If I want to use bridge + a program other than a CS6 program, I couldn't do it.  No help whatsoever.
Please help.  I've gotten the case escalated, but adobe never calls or if they do call (they tried once or twice), they don't leave a phone number and they usually call outside the hours you suggest are the best for reaching you.  I keep having to start at the beginning, with the low level techies, and after several hours, I can get them to take my number and schedule a call with the escalation / senior team.
I want the CEO or someone to realize how badly they are abusing their "customers".  BUT right now I need to get some work done.  I don't want to invest the time to set colors for my monitor or do any customization because they'll just ask me to wipe it again anyway. 

Hi,
I don't know why there's a problem seeing the content of my original post, but I am logged into the forum, not using email.
When I try to launch bridge, I get an error message that says "Adobe Bridge CS6 stopped working" and the following details:
Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name:          APPCRASH

  Additional Information 4:          ffe33cae3dc9a74a841b6be78d093ff8
Of course, Bridge never actually launches.
As far as the fact that some setting on my computer is incorrect, I'd love to find that magic switch to fix it, but remember that this happened after Bridge was properly installed and working for a couple of weeks after my purchase, and it died on BOTH my win7 desktop and my win8 laptop.  Different OS, different hardware, both Dell and both 64 bit. 
I've been very careful about having administrator privileges on both computers, and to my knowledge, I didn't install anything new between the time I installed CS6 and the time Bridge died.  I'm very slow to update windows, after it wiped my partition and nearly cost me all my data and photos...  I research like crazy, and I don't understand this.  But I use photoshop and illustrator in combination with other programs so I can't have a situation where I can't be logged in as me using bridge.
Please give me your thoughts - any hints are appreciated...  fyi - adobe low level phone tech support has been playing hold music for the last 194 minutes.
Thanks!

  • Camera Raw Preferences in Adobe Bridge CS6

    I can click on Camera Raw Preferences from the Adobe CS6 Menu, but nothing happens. No error meesages come up, but nothing happens.
    I recently installed ACR7.3. I did have some problems getting ACR7.3 installed. The updater from Photoshop and Bridge didn't seem to install it.  I had to download ACR7 and install it.
    After the successful install of ACR7.3,  I can double click on an image in Adobe Bridge CS6 and it will open the raw image in ACR7.3 in Photoshop CS6.
    The other annoyance is that the images for my RAW files for my Panasonci GH3 don't display in Adobe Bridge. They appear as a blank icon
    I am running on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 64 bit
    Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.0.399
    Adobe Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
    Adobe PS C6 13.0.4  x64
    I do have older versions of Adobe CS5 and CS4 that I have never removed. I've never had problems before. And didn't need the space so I just left them.
    Any ideas of why Adobe Bridge CS6 and ACR7.3 aren't in sync? - Thanks Rod

    Ok, everything was ok until I rebooted my machine. Now when I open Adobe Bridge CS6, The Raw images show up initially. But when Adobe Bridge finally gives me control, the images have become blank icons again. I've tried the CommandOptionShift and it does not help.  It was fine for two weeks and now I can't get the raw images to stay.
    Here is what I see as Adobe Opens the older. The Raw images are viewable.
    Now this is how they look after Adobe Bridge has finished opening and I can click on something:

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 on Retina Display

    I just installed Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Retina Macbook Pro and updated Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop with the latest updates. In Photoshop, everything looks crisp (including Camera Raw when opening it from Photoshop), but Bridge is still blurry. In addition, when opening Camera Raw from Bridge, everything is blurry. There are no updates available for Bridge/Photoshop/Camera Raw when I check for updates...any ideas on fixing this?
    Adobe Bridge CS6 - 5.0.2.4
    Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended 13.0.6 x64
    Adobe Camera Raw 8.3.0.141

    There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

  • Can't see CR2 files in Adobe Bridge CS6

    I have recently purchased Canon 5D Mark iii and have taken a few shots in RAW mode. When I try to open the file in Adobe Bridge CS6, I can't view the file.
    I also have a canon T2i and the raw file from that camera show perfectly fine.
    What could be the problem? All my CS6 software is up to date.

    Updated to ACR 8.4? There is an issue:
    The fix is to download a 8.4 again via the link below and follow the instructions to replace the existing 8.4 plugin:

    When I open Adobe Bridge CS6 and try to do a search within my external hard disk, it will give results from my internal hardisk only?! this is the 1st time I encounterd such strange issue. Because of this I do my search with windows and then browse each result with Bridge! which really annoying.

    You can do a search of an external drive if the OS permissions are OK.  Bridge will not search across different drives however.

  • Can't open the application "Adobe Illustrator CS6.app" because it is not supported...

    UPDATE - Ahhh haaaa!  If I log in with the guest account Illustrator works fine! WTF!? Oh well, at least I have a direction to be working towards, thanks for all the suggestions and assistance Adobe Community!
    That was sarcasm by the way...
    UPDATE - Just installed the latest Illustrator update from Adobe - still not loading. Tried reseting the iMac's PRAM, no luck.
    UPDATE - I've just reinstalled the whole CS6 Suite, and the only things that have changed are that I now have a little white no entry sign over Illustrator (it still won't load) and I also have 1.5GB of application updates to do
    I don't have any direct evidence but I'm guessing this is a Mavericks incompatibility judging by the other issues people are having with Illustrator. Any suggestions are welcome!
    I've been using CS6 on my iMac for the past year (3.2GHz Intel Core i5, 32GB ram).  Everything running fine, no problems.
    Then I get the popup from Apple saying to upgrade to Mavericks, so I did. After updating my Java version, for the next two weeks everything carried on running fine. Until just now.
    I finished working on an Illustrator file, saved it and then exited, only to remember I needed to make one more small change. So I clicked on the AI icon and got this error message;
    'You can’t open the application “Adobe Illustrator CS6.app” because it is not supported on this type of Mac.' Eh???
    I tried doing a reboot thinking that maybe something had just gone wonkey and needed resetting. Still no luck. So I reinstalled Java again. Nope. Then I tried every other CS6 app and they all ran fine.
    Does anyone know what could cause Illustrator CS6 to be working fine for weeks and then suddenly become an unsupported app? These things always happen with you're right up against a deadline! I NEED ILLUSTRATOR WORKING NOW! HEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPP!
    James

    I had the same issue and resolved it
    I first remove the prefs folder and the plist files for illustrator in ~/Libary
    next I logged off,
    then I uninstalled illustrator using the adobe uninstaller(http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html)
    Next I reinstall illstrator
    after that it worked for me.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 Crashes.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working - has issue been resolved?

    Hello.
    I am experiencing the above problem with a new install of CS6.
    Has this issue been resolved?
    CS6 Design and Web Premium installed on Win 7 pro 64 bit Dell Precision laptop. Error with Adobe Bridge cs6: "Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working", problem event name "APPCRASH". Error occurs when opening Bridge from Photoshop and other apps (Browse in Bridge) and directly from desktop or start menu. Also a cache directory is not being created under c:\user\<user>\appdata\roaming\adobe\bridge\. Holding ctrl key down and double clicking icon gets same message, cannot get at reset window.
    Performed the following with no change: verified Bridge and full suite is on latest version (Bridge=5.0.2.4); created desktop icon directly from bridge.exe; verified application was installed and is starting with administrator privileges; verified latest display driver installed; performed complete uninstall of CS6, CC cleaner tool run, then full reinstall; Error under Event Viewer: faulting application: Bridge.exe and faulting module name: ntdll.dll; disabled UAC; tested memory for damage using MemTest86-good.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    A follow up to the above.
    There appears to be a number of possible causes for this type of error. In my case it was somewhat specific. I had a stand alone copy on this same machine previously of Adobe Photoshop CS2 (only) which was completely uninstalled prior to the installation of CS6. There is an issue with Bridge CS6 being installed on a machine that has Bridge CS2 on it. I wasn't aware of Bridge being present with my copy of Photoshop CS2 but apparently there were at least some components of Bridge CS2 left after the uninstall. The workaround that solved the issue for me was the creation of an empty folder:
    C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS2
    For those of you who may have this situation.
    Here is where I found the solution (sixth thread down):
    Bridge CS6 won't open running on Win7

  • 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!
    Oliver

    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
