In adobe bridge cs6 i would like to pre build the thumb nails on an entire drive inc sub folders

in adobe bridge i would like to build all the thumbnails for the drive so when i go to a sub folder all the iamges are ready to go. i have tried select all and then build hq thumbnail but it only did the images in the root folder i was in. not the sub folders. what am i doing wrong?
thanks,
michael

They're both wrong
In your dreams…
Maybe I did not understand the OP correctly but using build and export cache usually creates less free space (certainly) and more problems (very likely…) hence I never advice this route. On a Mac this means double cacheing, first in Central Cache (same as our answer before) and also extra cache in folders.

Uninstalling Adobe Bridge CS6 after installing Adobe Bridge CC

I got all of my Adobe Applications on my MacBook Air through the new Adobe Cloud service. At that time, all of the applications were Adobe CS6. When I saw that Adobe Bridge CC was available, I downloaded it immediately. I had been having problems with Adobe Bridge CS6 working with my Adobe Photoshop CS6. After installing Adobe Bridge CC, I did not find the uninstaller application for Adobe Bridge CS6. I found two copies of the uninstaller for Adobe Bridge CC. Where can I get a copy of the uninstaller for Adobe Bridge CS6 for Mac?

Vizzpat there is no separate uninstaller for Adobe Bridge CS6. Adobe Bridge CS6 is installed by several applications. When those applications have all been removed then Bridge CS6 will be removed as well.
In general you can locate the uninstallers for Mac OS in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. You can also find additional information regarding installing and removing applications at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

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

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.

Adobe Bridge CS6 display question

I am a landscape photographer. Many times I shoot multiple exposures of the same scene to combine them later in HDR. These are generally 3 or 5 exposures taken at the same time. It would be very useful to see each set of multiple exposures on a separate line in Adobe Bridge so I can quickly choose which set to use for processing in HDR. Does anybody know how to do that? I could not see it in the View options in the menu bar of Bridge. I am using Adobe Bridge CS6 (5.0.1.21) on MAC OSX 10.6.8. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

You can't do so in Bridge when having different amounts of series. If you shot always 5 you could drag the content window to a new size in combination with changing the thumbnail size so 5 thumbs would show in a row. The same with 3 but there is no way to have a content window showing 1 line with 3 and 1 line with 5 files in the same panel.
In filmstrip mode you have 1 single line but that does not meet you wishes also.
There is the option to auto stack for HDR or Photomerge (Stacks / Auto stack Panorama-HDR) but frankly spoken this sucks because it either does not do the job properly or simply crashes Bridge to my experience.

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

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

Adobe Bridge (CS6) Stopped Working & Application Manager Fails No Matter What

Adobe Bridge (CS6) Stopped Working & Application Manager Fails No Matter What I do.
I have uninsalled, ran the cleaner, installed, and Bridge will not open, Application manager will not run.
It
Win 7 x64 Pro
CS6
Thanks

Good luck with that, and don't forget to deactivate CS6.
My system is slowing down after nearly two years, and I am dreading a reinstall - there always seems to be something you have forgotten! What really worries me is what happens to existing raid0 arrays seeing as the mainboard needs drivers. They are backed up, but I just don't trust a single level backup, and will have to add a further 3Tb of drive space to make a straight copy of the raid0 arrays. I also like the idea of Windows 8.1, but dread finding out that the drivers don't work!
The Premiere Pro hardware forum is the perfect place to ask about stuff like that. Harm, Bill, Erik etc. are super clued up on such things, so I shall run my concerns past them before committing.
So I wish you good luck again, and I know you'll make a plan before going ahead with it.

Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.2 corrupt

Hi, I'm using PS CS6 and Bridge somehow got corrupted. Every time I would open it the images would pixelate and the program would crash, it was unusable. I uninstalled it and now I am unable to reinstall. When trying to install CS6 5.0.2 as an update I get this error message"Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.2 Update Update is not applicable. Error Code: U44M2P28." Any guidance would be appreciated. Theresa

Hi JJMack, thanks for your reply. It's a bit odd. When I download the app from Adobe and clicked on the installer I only see Adobe Patchinstaller and payloads. It's when I tried the patchinstaller which I don't think is correct, when I see a message that says "Update failed. Updates could not be applied. The error log may help you in identifying the problem." When I click on the error log I get this message which I copy and pasted and all digits are correct.
Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.2 Update
Update is not applicable. Error Code: U44M2P28
Because I un-installed the original version I'm sure that's why I can't update it because there is no version to update, but I cant find a downloadable version (CS6) that isn't CC related. Any advice?
thank you!
Theresa

Adobe Bridge CS6 "The operation could not be completed"

I cannot get Bridge CS6 to run under my Mac account. All other accounts on my MacBook Pro work fine with Bridge. I have re-installed CS6 several times and I have searched the internet for days to find a solution. I can see that this is a common problem but there is no workable solution, and Adobe still refuses to admit there is a problem and to offer a fix.

Only my account won't run this product all other accounts on the same machine seem to work okay.
Then the problem lies in your account. A fresh install would not help unless you also used the Adobe Clean tool to remove all other settings. But that is a bit harsh to try because then all other Suite info is also deleted and you have to reinstall the lot.
And when the app runs in other account it means the install on root level (where your default application folder is and where all other account also make use of) is correct.
The easiest thing would be to create a new account but I don't know if that is an option for you regarding other settings and stuff in this account.
First run Apple Disk utility on your problem account to check and repair disk permissions.
Then open your user library (by default hidden, use menu Go and press option to reveal this library)
Go to the folder called preferences and inhere is Bridge5 plist file, delete this to the trash.
In same user library go the folder called Caches and follow this path / Adobe/ Bridge CS6 and inhere delete both the folder called Cache and the plug in. All deleted files will refresh them selves after you managed to restart Bridge.
Then again use the option Curt provided, hold down option key while restarting Bridge and from the options choose preferences.
Then try again.
The other option would be to use the MacOs recovery disk on this user account to create a new user library while archiving the older one.
Disk drive 750Gb with 40Gb spare.
Usually at least 10 % free space is recommended for running smoothly. Bridge is very processor demanding and if you have other applications running 40 GB is simply to low to run your system and apps smoothly.
Also be aware that if you have multiple user accounts installed and on all accounts you use Bridge you should find a new location for the cache file. By default Cache is stored in the User library (see above). And depending on amount and size of files and preview settings (100% preview creates huge files) this cache folder can grow to very large proportions.
If you have different user accounts and all create their own library you need to recache every time you visit in the new account.
I have no personal experience with multiple accounts on my machine so don't know if Bridge can handle multiple accounts on one machine with one cache folder on root level.
Network usage is not supported and often difficult but having one machine with one root file for cache might work without problems.

FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

We are all just incompetent users here. As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

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:

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!

Adobe only sell the latest version of Creative Suite which is CS6 so you can't buy CS5 anymore. Upgrades are also only available from CS5 to CS6 so CS3 wouldn't qualify anyway.
I'm afraid you are out of luck.

I just bought and installed the Adobe Illustrator. I would like to know how long can I use the product before an extension is needed? And on how many computers can I install this product? Thanks.

What version exactly did you buy? If you bought CS6, then the license is perpetual and doesn't need any extension. If you bought CC, then you need to renew your plan every year. You can install each Adobe software on 2 machines with a single license for non-concurrent use.
