Issue with Bridge CS6

I've recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6. My problem is, every time I open Bridge CS6, either directly or through Photoshop, Bridge CS5 opens up instead. I can change it to CS6 but not permanently, CS5 seems to override it. I still have Premiere Pro CS5.5 on my system and assume that's were the CS5 originates. It is very annoying, especially when opening minibridge. I want to keep PPro CS5.5 because I like Vid editing but I am a photographer and wish to enjoy the full charms of PS CS6. Any help would be fab.

If its not the CS6 Install did not work correctly you could just try to install CS6 again on top of CS6. If still bad edit shortcuts for the bridge to see if you can poit to the CS6 bridge and use regedit (be careful) to fix [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\bridge.exe]
If you installed CS6 beta you needed to un-install that first with a Adobe CS6 Beta cleaner before installing CS6.

Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6

Hi folks,
I recently installed a routine update for Camera RAW 8.4 and now have a bunch of issues with Bridge including -
- No previews or ratings showing
- Ratings filter not working
- Can't open images directly into Camera RAW without first opening Photoshop (ie - keyboard shortcut not working and File menu command "Open in Camera raw" not available)
- Can't access or open Camera RAW preferences
I've tried resetting Bridge to default settings but didn't help and ACR still works fine opening in PS. I've attached two screenshots to show the problem better.
Anyone else having these problems? Any solutions?

This should fix it: Camera Raw 8.4 | No metadata or Camera Raw edit

Problem with Bridge CS6 and MCXRedirector (OS X 10.9.5)

Good afternoon all, I have a very irritating issue with Bridge CS6 that I've pretty much given up on now, so I'm wondering if anyone out there can help me before I do.
The issue lies with Bridge CS6 running in a networked Mac environment, first, a little background: I am using OS X Server's Workgroup Manager facility for various restrictions and folder redirection. Our users had a nasty bug a little while ago that caused saved Photoshop files to end up in ~/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems instead of the actual network home location they selected to save in. While this was happening, a single entry was being used in the MCXRedirectory preference to redirect the entire of ~/Library/Caches/
This was resolved by changing that preference and branching it out a little more, so now the folders subject to redirection are as follows:
~/Library/Caches/Adobe
~/Library/Caches/Adobe Camera Raw
~/Library/Caches/Meta
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Doing this fixed the saving issue with Photoshop, but has in turn broken Bridge. When launched, Bridge immediately fails with the error "Adobe Bridge CS6 quit unexpectedly" and gives the three options to ignore, report or reopen.
Taking away the ~/Library/Caches/Adobe redirection allows Bridge to work as normal again, but then I'm back to square one with Photoshop files saving in TemporaryItems again.
Does anyone have any advice to remedy this annoying problem please?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Bridge version is 5.0.2.4

Sorry, did not solve the problem. The info given did not bear much relation to what I could see in the print drop down box. I have been through all settings I can access and every thing appears normal. The print preview in the print box appears normal and shows colour, but this does not translate to the actual print.
When printing a docuement of 3 pages or more using double sided the result is the first docuement page on one side of a sheet and the last page on the other side, but upside down, despite orientation set to long edge binding. All other pages between first and last are ignored.
When printing docuements originating from printer software such as Print Quality Diagnostic and Make The Most Of Your Printer, the printer performs correctly with good quality printing and colour.
I assume that the Mac update to 10.9.5 has corrupted something but I am not knowkedgeable enough to understand what. Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I had an issue running Bridge CS6 on my laptop yesterday and after failing to troubleshoot I un-installed it from my system but have yet to find any way to download/reinstall it. I have web design premium and tried uninstalling/reinstalling photoshop and illutsrator as I'd seen bridge was coupled with those but had no luck. Is it possible to download bridge as a stand alone with a web design premium license for cs6

restart your design premium installation, select custom install and you should see options to pick which programs you want to install.
tick bridge and install

Issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run

Since a couple of weeks ago, I have an issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run When starting the application I get the following error:
"The procedure entry point ?AcquireVarient@ImageInterface@drawbot@dvaui@@QBE?BV?$intrusive_ptr@UImageInterface@drawb ot@dvaui@@@boost@@V?$rational@J@5@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\Program Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe."
I'm running it on Windows 8 (x64). I have multiple other Adobe applications installed, which are running fine. I've tried solving the issue with reinstalling Illustrator - multiple times. My GPU driver is updated to the latest version.

I have this issue as well on my Mac and called tech support 4 times and they can't fix it. Adobe has really gone down hill in a short amount of time!!
Only thing that worked (as a temporary fix) is to create a new user and toggle back and forth between two users which is very annoying. Adobe has tried uninstalling, reinstalling, taking over my computer remotely, trashing plugins, verifying permissions but the fact remains that we bought CS6 four weeks ago and Illustrator doesn't work.
I'm going on Facebook to let others know.....don't buy Adobe, it doesn't work and they don't know how to fix.

Having major issues with InDesign CS6

Having major issues with InDesign CS6. Not only is it crashing, but it is corrupting the existing file. Then when I relaunch, it is not allowing me to open the file again.
In another instance, yesterday I opened an file created 3 months ago and it allowed me to make changes, however I could not save them to the existing file, or not even to a new name.
I had to copy each layer on each page to create a new document. NOT GOOD!!!

Yes, I would certainly get the latest update. That we often solve issues like these, for this is not normal. Some further tips would be quite InDesign, then to trash your InDesign preferences and then re-start InDesign (it will rebuild them again). Some further areas to look into would be:
* Corrupt Font(s) (or corrupt font caches - see below)
* Corrupt Image(s)
* Power Failures (power surges)
* Placing images via drag-and-drop from an Internet page
* Working on an InDesign file over a network or on a remote server
If all else fails, we as Markzware (I work for them) also offer a Service to fix corrupt InDesign documents. See:
http://markzware.com/support/faq/recover-bad-file-service/
Hopefully this helps you.

Bridge CC cache not compatible with bridge CS6

Starting the Photoshop CC adventure. First install was Bridge. First test was to see if the Bridge CC cache is compatible with Bridge CS6 cache. First result is NO.
Test method:
1. Set the Bridge CC cache location to the same folder I use for CS6, which contains 10+ gigs of thumbs for my library.
2. Navigated Bridge CC to a sub-folder with about 30 images, see Bridge CC re-do the thumb extractions.
3. Close Bridge CC, launch Bridge CS6, navigate to the same sub-folder, see Bridge CS6 re-do the thumb extractions.
4. Close Bridge CS6, launch Bridge CC, still pointing to the same sub-folder, see it re-do thumb extractions again.
5. Repeat steps 3&4, always with same result, a redundant re-generation of thumbs.
Conclusion:
The actual thumbnail files in the cache are the same. But something happens in the index files (data/store) to make each version think it does not have thumbnails, so it re-generates them. IOW, when Bridge CC looks at the cache last used by Bridge CS6 it says "I have not been here, must re-cache", and visa-versa.
Solution:
Must let Bridge CC have its own separate cache, so the two versions don't walk over each other. Must let Bridge CC re-cache everything, which for me (and most users I assume) will be a long and time consuming process.
Not much surprise here. The same was true for CS5 vs. CS6.

Not much surprise here. The same was true for CS5 vs. CS6.
Then it also should not be a surprise for you that this behavior already started in the Filebrowser (Bridge predecessor that came with CS1 and by far the most stable and fast cache ever in the history of Bridge) and has not changed since. Nor is it likely it will chance in the future.
Hence my advice to not use Bridge for long term DAM because you need to recache the lot every new version...

Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6

Would anyone happen to know if the Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6? Even with a manual install the Help feature launches without issues the first time and won’t launch after the second time. This is the message we are receiving on Windows 7:
“Help viewer is not installed check your internet connection and reinstall InDesign”

-Anup.
YES! It does help.Thank you very much. I changed the setting yesterday but side tracked before I see the online content works. So in general scope, yes it takes me to the online help center, which gives me options for more "community" answers. So yes, thank you for making me look further.
However, I really was a fan of the local help that looked like and felt like the user manuals produced by Adobe, not just blogs, and more message boards. So I am still partially dismayed that I take the time to download and update the local help files, but can't use them. And wish Adobe would just fix the problem, so I can have immediate access to user manuals without having to surf all over for answers. Perhaps this is a novice thought, but I liked reading it in manual formats provided by the amnufacture of the software.
Thanks again though for the help and it will just have to get used to this method. UNLESS you can tell me good news of something else I am missing?

Will Photoshop CC work with Bridge CS6

Hi
I'm about to download Photoshop CC (Windows 7). I already have Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 installed. My questions is do I have to download and install Bridge CC or will Photoshop CC work ok with Bridge CS6.
Thanks

Like versions communicate with each other with the statup scripts. So CS6 Bridge is going to call CS6 PS when you select PS/Tools. It has no communication link to CC.
You can open images in CC from CS6 but you will not be able to use Tools/photoshop to call up Bridge CC.

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this?

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this? We're running two Macs wirelessly with no problems. And the Wii did connect before the switch.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I gave this a try, turned off Airport on one of the computers and tried the Wii again. Still no connection. I should say that we're also running an old G4 (wired) off the Airport as well, with no problems. I've tried many things to make the Wii to work, including power cycling the Airport, turning off the security settings in the Airport, resetting the Airport to it's default and redoing the network, resetting the network setting on the Wii (several times), moved the Airport closer to the Wii, all with no luck. The Wii "sees" the Airport but won't connect to it. I'm at a loss for anything else to try, so any help is appreciated.

Performance Issues with Photoshop CS6 64-Bit

Hello -
Issue at hand: over the course of the last few weeks, I have noticed significant issues with performance since the last update to PS CS6 via the Adobe Application Manager, ranging from unexpected shut downs to bringing my workstation to a crawl (literally, my cursor seems to crawl across my displays). I'm curious as to if anyone else is experiencing these issues, or if there is a solution I have not yet tried. Here is a list of actions that result in these performance issues - there are likely more that I have either not experienced due to my frustration, or have not documented as occuring multiple times:
Opening files - results in hanging process, takes 3-10 seconds to resolve
Pasting from clipboard - results in hanging process, takes 3-10 seconds to resolve
Saving files - takes 3-10 seconds to open the dialog, another 3-10 seconds to return to normal window (saving a compressed PNG)
Eyedropper tool - will either crash Photoshop to desktop, or take 5-15 seconds to load
Attempting to navigate any menu - will either crash Photoshop to desktop, or take 5-15 seconds to load
Attempts I've taken to resolve this matter, which have failed:
Uninstalled all fonts that I have added since the last update (this was a pain in the ***, thank you Windows explorer for being glitchy)
Uninstall application and reinstall application
Use 32-bit edition
Changing process priority to Above Normal
Confirm process affinity to all available CPU cores
Change configuration of Photoshop performance options

Workflow issue with Bridge and everything else

Short and sweet. Well, not really.
I use windows - so as a result, for some reason unknown to man (after a decade of waiting), I still cannot see "previews" of most, if not all of any adobe software in the windows dialogue boxes.
think PDF's and the registry hacks we have to do to "enable" previews. But on a mac I can?
So I have to use bridge - a lot.
Now when I have a linked image in illustrator (or whatever) and choose "reveal in bridge" it will hunt and drill down through a multitude of folders and display the image in it's native folder - which I can then open in photoshop for instance - edit it - and Illustrator will detect the change and update. Awesome.
But aside from running a script to send a batch job to a program, it really doesn't "do" anything else that one would expect a "bridge" to do;
     I cannot create a "project" portfolio that would track a client project and all it's related documents.
     Or collaborate with a team.
     I cannot have non destructive edits of a document (such as using an instance of a file like lightroom does) - or "send copy to photoshop" and have Bridge stack the results.
     I cannot combine and tag collections of documents (make a database of stuff).
     I cannot ask Bridge to tell me which documents have placed documents, or (vice versa) which documents are placed into other documents - that would be so cool.
          imagine being able to select a jpeg or psd file and have the option to "Find documents using this file"
          or looking at a "project" and having a list of all first level documents with all their subsequent "placed content" listed all drop down expandable
So my beef today is that I finally spent an hour messing about thinking I had something "wrong" and went through Bridge CS6 with a fine tooth comb trying to find out if anything had changed.
and nope - it still doesn't behave as one would think it would.
Currently, I have some documents that require monthly changes to images, which for the most part came from one photo shoot, and all have essentially the same perspective, appearance, lighting and shading, but all different products and I have a folder of "preformatted images". So monthly I really only need to update the images, and a bit of text. Being posters, InDesign whines a bit for vector art manipulation, so I stick to Illustrator for this job.
But in Illustrator, I cannot choose another image to replace my linked image - without either;
     a: (reveal in bridge), select new replacement image - place as a new image, which then needs to be manipulated as the "old" image was, "remaking" all the adjustments, and then finally deleting the original linked image.
     b: (reveal in bridge) keep bridge open on the image I need (and it's name), go back to illustrator to open the "relink" windows dialogue and "blindly" browse till I find the image I want as shown in bridge.
     c: simply relink and browse blindly to find a file you can't see a preview of and guess, or drag and drop, or all the other non practical ways to replace the image.
Option B gives the desired end result where the image I have in a clipping mask, buried in a document in a certain way, with certain effects, is simply replaced without impacting anything else.
     But this takes quite some time when there are a lot of images.
So Bridge and its promised workflow functionality still isn't living up to it's purpose exactly.
Bridge isn't bridging.
With indesign, it's the same issue - you can't "relink" by revealing in bridge, choosing a "replacement" image and "update"
Maybe a "relink with Bridge" choice in the Links menu?
and in bridge, since Illustrator triggered the request, a button appears to "Replace" - once you finish browsing and highlighting the replacement image you need, just click it and it's done.
So two issues -
Why can't previews of adobe files be shown in windows explorer (still)?
     if they did, I'd really have no use for Bridge.
Why isn't bridge actually communicating with the apps connecting to it?
- and yes, I understand that I cannot ask bridge to go find a placed file and replace it with "this" file, but when illustrator "asks" for "this", bridge should be able to "respond" and give "that" since the app initiated the request.
Bridge should be a workflow tool as advertised - it should literally be able to be a proper workflow hub for all things adobe (and be able to catalogue and track all design file type previews - corel files, cad, 3d, etc)... but as it stands it's just a glorified windows explorer without workflow options.
Bridge hasn't been altered in years, and it's still lingering around - I think - so that we can simply see thumbnails, rather than just allowing each adobe program to make "previews" windows needs.
I can change metadata in windows, I can use freeware to change it extensively.
So aside from the "open in" options and the ability to browse all adobe file types, what's the point?

I couldn't read all through your post as I am jetting out of here.
Buy this:
http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/
and install it. It's relatively cheap. Screen shot is from Windows Explorer.
Handles ID, PSD, etc., files as well. Though the preview uses greeked text for the most part for the ID files.
Take care, Mike

Have you had problems with Bridge CS6 after CR 8.4 installed?

Adobe Bridge CS6 running on Mac OS X 10.7.5 crashed several times while sorting images . After installing Camera Raw 8.4, images in portrait orientation rotated to landscape and now the rotate image buttons and menuitems are unavailable for raw files including dng's. Camera Raw preferences will not open from Bridge. What is the best approach for uninstalling/reinstalling Bridge and CR updates? Should I reinstall Photoshop as well?

I do recommend that anyone who is having weird issues with iTunes try Dave's suggestion of UNINSTALLING Flip4Mac and see what happens (but will an uninstall get rid of this particular file? who knows).
Good point, and something I should not have trusted without confirming. I just tried it and the uninstaller does not remove that framework. That's a serious "oops" on the part of Telestream (and I did confirm that the Flip4Mac installer does install that framework). The framework folder will need to be removed manually.
Regards.
