I cannot locate mini bridge

Hi. I am brand spanking new to photoshop. I can get to "browse in Bridge" from the file menu, but I do not have a browse in mini-bridge option. I cannot locate it. Can anyone help?

That would explain it! Thank you for your response.

I have Photoshop CC 2014 on my Mac and cannot find Mini-bridge under file, window or in the online add-ons.

Was Mini-Bridge discontinued in Photoshop CC2014? It is not under the file or Window menus. I cannot find it under add-ons on line. I have a Mac, is that why I'm not seeing it? Any help would be very useful.

Yes.
See Photoshop: Spring Cleaning | PHOTOSHOP.COM BLOG
"Mini Bridge
Mini-Bridge is an Extension Panel using Flash and therefore must be removed now that Flash is no longer supported in Photoshop. Bridge CC remains available as a stand-alone file browser application for designers and photographers needing to browse non-photographic file formats.
Lightroom, which is available with Creative Cloud and the Photoshop Photography Program, is an alternative for photographers as a way to work with multiple photos and hand them off to Photoshop for additional processing."

I would recommend by starting with the Adobe Support Advisor - http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/. It will automatically review your installation logs and attempt to locate solutions.
Alternately you can view the installation logs yourself by following the directions listed in Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

Mini Bridge does not open in InDesign after installing 8.0.2 upgrade

This question was previously posted in the InDesign forum (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5833991#5833991), but it was suggested that I should cross post it here.
I installed InDesign CS6 upgrade 8.0.2. Now I cannot open Mini Bridge.
If Bridge is not already open,
     - selecting File | Browse in Bridge... or clicking on the Bridge button: Bridge opens - good!
     - control-click on the Bridge button: I get a Reset Settings error dialog - NOT good! I cancelled this and Bridge opened fullscreen okay.
     - alt-click on the Bridge button: Two Bridge applications opened fullscreen! - NOT good!
     - shift-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens, but Mini Bridge does not! - NOT good!
If Bridge is already open,
     - selecting File | Browse in Bridge... or clicking on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and nothing else happens! - NOT good!
     - control-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens maximized! - good!
     - alt-click on the Bridge button: the already opened Bridge, plus a new Bridge, both open! - is this normal?
     - shift-click on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and Mini Bridge does not open! - NOT good!
I have tried resetting the preferences in Bridge and rebooted after doing so.
My main concern is that I cannot get Mini Bridge to open at all. I can ignore the other problems mentioned above, if I can just get Mini Bridge to open.
This problem does not exist in Photoshop CS6.
I have restored my C: drive from backup twice and tried the upgrade a total of three times. The results are the same each time.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing my problem and how I might correct it? I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1, 3.40 GHz Intel Core i7-3770 CPU, 32.0 GB installed memory.

Sorry to hear that, forgot to mention the resetting of preferences in InDesign.
Have you also tried that (ctrlAltShift while starting ID)?
I'm afraid I have not really more ideas and I am a Mac user and don't know anything relevant about Windows.
And ultimate you have of course the option to reinstall CS6 after an official uninstall in combination with the Adobe Clean Tool. But before doing so read all instructions and have a proper back up of all relevant customized settings, workspaces etc.

I need help getting Mini Bridge to work in PS CS6

I have already tried deleting the folder and rebooting the computer, I have tried creating a new user account, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire package and I cannot get Mini Bridge to work at all. It just keeps going to "Mini Bridge waiting for Bridge CS6..." and then never finds anything. I am having this issue on both my Macbook Pro Retina 15 and my MacBook Pro 13 (Early 2011 model). I cannot seem to find any other solutions to this problem online. I also made sure that both Macbooks are fully updated as well as all CS6 software titles. Please help me fix this!
I also made sure I added it to the exceptions list in the firewall too.

Mini Bridge not working in CS5

I cannot get Mini Bridge to work in Photoshop CS5. When I try to start it, the panel opens and the spinning symbol starts but I get the message "Waiting for Bridge CS5..." and it never makes it past that. I have tried both with Bridge already open and Bridge closed, no difference. "Start Bridge at logon" is checked in preferences. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Peter,
Just to bring you up to speed on what has happened to this issue, none of the suggestions that I received in the Bridge forum helped. However, after restoring my C: drive back to prior to my updating attempts, I was able to successfully upgrade InDesign in Safe Mode (this is a Windows startup mode that blocks non-Microsoft applications from starting up on reboot). Mini Bridge is now working correctly.
Thank you again for your assistance.

Cannot view folders in mini bridge

Hello,
when trying to use mini bridge in ID CS6, I cannot view folders. I can look at drives, and places such as desk top, but it will only find individual image files, and cannot find any folders. As most of my assest are in folders, this is exceedingly frustrating. I remember CS5 not having this issue. Is there a preference or setting I am missing, or is this how Adobe always "improves" their products when they update.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I have done that, but it still does not find folders. Specifically, let's say folders within folders. I mentioned that I can find places, such as desktop, but it won't find 'folders' on my desktop. Just indivdual files. Here is a screen shot of what I mean. On my desk top, I happen to have a folder of assets, but it is not finding it when I have 'desk top' highlighted in the navigation. This is a problem that there seems to be now answer for.

[bridge cc] Mini bridge cannot be launched

Running adobe cc tools on win7
I have the
With Bridge cc (verified from help/`about bridte') running, I cannot get a minibridge. The full message reads:
Mini bridge cannot be launched because the
Mini the bridge extension is not installed
I'm not finding any instructions about how to install it, and a few posts here from Oct. indicate it is part of the CC tools.
Further ; I don't see anything on the cc installer/update tool about any such extension.

If it is a panel, how is that panel accessed? It is not amongst the panels listed under Windows menu item. The only reference I see is under File/Browse in Mini bridge
It should be in your PS Window menu under Window / Extensions / Mini Bridge If it has checkmark in front it should also be visible as a docked panel. The default workspace for PS CC has both Timeline and Mini Bridge docked as panels at the bottom of your PS screen (however this is for a Mac using the Application Frame, don's have Windows but it should be there by default, certainly if Mini Bridge is listed under extensions and has a checkmark in front)
Now from PS I click `File' / `Browse in Mini bridge'. At that point a small window pops open with this informaiton:
....Mini Bridge could not be launched because the
....Mini Bridge extension is not installed
That is indeed strange, on my system using the command to browse in Mini Bridge opens the MB panel wether I have it selected or not with a checkmark under Extensions.
So how am I to access the mini-bridge panel?
What have done wrong in the steps above?
The only thing that seems wrong is your install. First check if you have the latest updates for PS and Bridge using your Creative Cloud Application (which also should be up to date).
Then consider both PS and Bridge to reset preferences. for PS hold down shift + option + Command (Win - ctrl) while restart PS and choose delete pref settings file. For Bridge hold down option (Win-ctrl) key while restart Bridge.
If still no luck consider to uninstall using the official uninstallers for Adobe and then use ACC to reinstall. If still in trouble consider the same procedure but then with the use of Adobe Clean Tool.
In all cases first be sure to have a proper back up and also make sure you have your custom settings for PS (actions, brushes, presets etc) as well as for Bridge (export the keyword list also) before uninstall and use of clean tool
here is the info for the clean tool:

My wired Apple Magic Mouse is frozen and I am unable to move around on my Mini Mac. I receive a window saying the computer cannot locate a wireless mouse. How do I get my mouse to work again.

My Magic Mouse is frozen. How do I get it to work again? Also I keep getting a window that says it cannot locate my wireless mouse. I do not have a wireless mouse.

Got confused between your header question about a wired mouse and the main question about a wireless mouse. You said your magic mouse was frozen and added you do not have a wireless mouse. Problem is ... the magic mouse is wireless. The original mighty mouse was the corded version.
The wired mouse is a regular problem. After two to three years it tends to clog up. You can clean it (to a degree) as follows.
Using an alcohol moistened, not wet, cotton bud, scratch at the mouse ball for a minute or so. Then turn it upside down and on a clean piece of thick white paper or card on a firm surface, vigorously rub the mouse ball on the paper in a regular figure of eight. Do this for a minute or so and occasionally tap the mouse on the paper. This will help dislodge bits of fluff etc. Then try again

Anyone know whre the guts of Mini Bridge are located?

I normally don't use Mini Bridge, but it actually would be handy for the project I'm working on right now, or at least it would be if it did anything besides say "Waiting for Bridge CS5."
It used to work. I got it to work yesterday by starting bridge before ID and rebuilding the cache for the folder, but today nothing is helping, including trashing the ID prefs.
Have any of you seen this before? Does anyone know which files I might want to restore from a backup to get it running again?

The other panels were working fine, so I went ahead and trashed that pref.
Didn't work on the first restart, so I removed tomaxxiBrowse which was the only thing I could think of that was likely to be related, and tried again. No change.
Launched bridge, restarted ID and now it seems to be working again, even without starting bridge first, and I put tomaxxiBrowse back and it's still working, so I suspect it must have been that preference file after all.
New twist. I just told Mini Bridge to refresh and got "Adobe Bridge CS5 has encountered a propblem and needs to close..."
Still seems to be working, though.
Thanks

I restore my ipad mini but i cannot locate the first person who made tha account to use the ipad how can you help me? Do i need to go to apple store

Thank you for the help

You have to contact the person who still has their Apple ID enabled on the device and have them disable their Apple ID on that device as well as disable Activation Lock.
See: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
See: iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone
If you cannot locate that person, then you are out of luck and now own an expensive paperweight. I don't know if the receipt would help...it might if it has the unit's serial number on it.

Unable to load Mini Bridge or other extensions (PS CC 14.2 x64)

Hello, a few weeks ago I ran into update problems with an update to Adobe CSXS Infrastructure 4, and subsequent updates to Creative Cloud app, Photoshop and Illustrator. The updates would not complete and I could not finish the update to Creative Cloud app to sign in. With help from Adobe online tech, the Creative Cloud app was removed, the Adobe Cleaner run, and CC app reinstalled. Once signed in, I uninstalled Illustrator, downloaded and reinstalled it. After that I was able to finish with the Photoshop CC update.
I've used PS CC quite a bit since then and all seems well, except that I am not able to load Mini Bridge or another 3rd party add in product. The messages I receive are:
Mini Bridge could not be launched because the Mini Bridge extension is not installed
3rd party product - onOne - Cannot complete command because the extension could not be loaded
Today (1/17) I applied the 14.2 x64 update hoping it would correct the problem with extensions but it did not. PS CC 14.2 seems to work fine otherwise.
Any help appreciated.
Tina

I had the same Problem Adobe had me install three new CEPServiceManager4 folder the third try worked. Here is what I wrote back to them
