Long standing bug in Photoshop CS2 Bridge

I have been using Photoshop CS2 for many years and have constantly "lived with" a bug in Bridge whereby, instead of an image thumbnail, there is just an icon shown. This is the same icon that appears before Bridge has read all the images to produce the thumbnails - but some of them get "stuck" and there seems to be no way to make Bridge "read" the image and produce the thumbnail. Pressing "View" "Refresh" (or PF5) does not work. Is there any fix I can download for this, please?

Curt touched on a possible concept:  Abandon Bridge and get a codec pack for Windows Explorer.  Then just use Explorer to integrate your work.  This, of course, assumes you're using Windows.
It's possible a newer version of Photoshop might come with a Bridge implementation that doesn't fail in the same way.  It's pretty much futile to hope for a change to Photoshop CS2 in this day and age.
Did Bridge CS2 have the functions the modern version has for requesting a clearing of the Bridge cache?  If not, perhaps those functions were added to address the kinds of problems you're having.

  • Long standing bug in ARD

    There is a LONG STANDING bug in ARD dating back to at least v2.0, maybe earlier.
    While controlling a remote Mac, for seemingly no reason, the display stops refreshing. The connection has not been lost just refresh is stopped. A single refresh workaround is to click the color adjustment bar, no need to move it, just click it and you get one refresh. This happens to me way too frequently! It occurs on PPC as well as Intel Macs, on local LANs and over the Internet through VPNs.
    Sometimes you can break out of this by closing the connection and connecting again but it usually requires the remote machine to restart the ARD service. Doing this with ARD itself usually leaves the remote machine unreachable (ARD service stopped.) I have taken to using a near by Windows machine then ssh'ing into the Mac to manually restart the service. This works but the refresh problem re-occurs after an undetermined amount of time.
    There seems to be no clues as to why this happens. There is never any particular task I am performing, no specific app I am always running, etc, etc.
    Excuse me if this has already been brought up and if someone knows a fix or can point me to a KB article I would be most appreciative!
    Thanks,

    I, too have experienced this problem. However, much more so since I upgraded to ARD 3. This can happen, as you say, on a wide variety of clients: eMacs, G5 Dual, iMac G5, Powerbooks. Most annoying. I have found that if I use TB2 to control the client, I will find, in some cases, the SystemUIServer process is hung. By Force Quitting this process and Re-Starting the client, I am able to get ARD to run again.
    This seems a little more severe than your problem, but I have had the same experience as you describe as well--the SystemUIServer is not hung in these cases. I can generally find nothing wrong on the client to account for the behavior.
    Nor have I found a satisfactory answer to the problem on this forum. Would love it someone could offer a clue!

  • IPhoto VS Photoshop CS2 "Bridge"

    Hello,
    Anyone here in the forum use Photoshop CS2 Bridge?
    I'm thinking about switching over from iPhoto to Bridge and was wondering if anyone had any advice about the the two apps?
    Thanks

    Pro app vs. consumer App. Learning curve for Bridge, assuming you want to learn all its features, will be higher. You need to manager your own files in Bridge, a pro and a con. I'm not sure Bridge has any concept like albums.
    Bridge will work directly with EXIF and IPTC data, which is nice.

  • PhotoShop CS2 Bridge caused strange loss of desktop visibility/memory ??

    I have a G5 (Duel) running Tiger 10.4.6. Just lately the Bridge in Photoshop CS2 has not been working too well - it became very slow and sometimes didn't "see" my images. Yesterday I could get it to find my image folders at all. Then all my desktop started to look weird - even when I wasn't using the Bridge. So I closed all the applications and restarted the computer. To my horror all my desktop and preferences (dock, safari, desktop picture, folders etc.) had been lost. At first I thought I had somehow lost all my image folders but using spotlight I found them all there - distribted in places I had never put them. I sorted everything out again and re-did all my customised stuff but it was scary! At no time did the computer give me any warning of any trouble. It did not crash or anything. I was running QuarkXpress 5 (classic 9) as well and had a Skype window open (although I wasn't using it to talk at the time) Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this happened - has it happened to anyone else ? Thanks for any help.. Diana

    Hi jamba,
    I think the issue is that your output of lspci shows no Audio device. Perhaps it got disabled in the BIOS? dmesg output may indicate something else afoot with your audio hardware.
    Hope that helps.
    I'll check out dmesg output.  also still need to check if something got disabled in the BIOS.
    !snd_intel8x0m  <- is your problem. Your sound module got blacklisted so un-list it. Modprobe it then try sound again or just reboot and it should work.
    moonswan.  snd_intel8x0 is the sound card (I think), in the alsa wiki it said it was recommended to blacklist snd_intel8x0m as a quirk fix. 
    No sound with or without it blacklisted still :-(

  • Camera Raw Photoshop CS2 & Bridge Parsing Problem

    I am having an issue with Photoshop CS2. I am trying to work on a .tiff file that I have used the HDR automate tool from. The HDR renders files in 32-bit and therefor I render back to 16-bit once I have compressed the files and save as a .tiff file.
    I then use bridge to try and open the .tiff file and the camera raw file is shaded grey. I also have tried opening in PS CS2 and this message comes up when I try and force Camera Raw to Open..."Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
    PS will open the tiff file on a compressed version and not in the Camera Raw Function.
    I have read numerous posts on this kind of problem and people say to update your camera raw plu-in and I have done that and am having the same problem.
    Any suggestions I would very much appreciate it.

    Hi Patrick,
    You need CR 4.x and Ps CS3 in order to open non-camera raw TIFFs.

  • Long standing bug in deployJava.js has not been fixed

    I thin it's outrageous that the bug reported here deployJava.js and HTTPS Problem has not been fixed. I can only assume that Oracle has abandoned Java.

    You'd be surprised to know that some Java API (including Java2D & Swing) bugs & RFEs I have submitted 12 years ago have still not been fixed.
    I doubt it's Oracle's fault, as much as it was Sun's, probably a generic lack of people and resources to allocate to fixing small bugs coupled with a bad prioritization system which does not automatically increase the weight of a low-priority bug after it has spend some times/months/years in the bug-db.
    On the other hand, I have always wondered what do all these people at Java/Sun/Oracle do all day long (was especially true of the JavaFX team over 2009/2010 and now I am starting to do the same about the JWS devellopment/support team considering the huge amount of things non-working correctly in this technology).
    ;)

  • MetaData import from Photoshop CS2 Bridge to Lightroom??

    Dear all,
    I have 2 questions.
    1) I am trying to figure out whether Metadata import from Bridge to LR will be supported?
    2) I am not satisfied with Bridge as a Data Asset Management tool and due to an urgent project have to organize all of my >250 Giga data. ASAP. Any suggestions for a workaround until LR is released for purchase?
    Thanks in advance,
    Siana

    1. Yes
    2. Can't help with that, sorry.

  • Kudos to the IE Team For Fixing a Long-Standing Bug

    Thank you.

  • Photoshop CS2 issues & Customer Relation's solution

    i bought a g5 quad in June 06 that failed in july 06. they were unable to resolve the issue and gave me a replacement machine.
    i was given a mac pro with 4GB of RAM and a terabyte of internal storage. the 2 oem 500GB Seagate 7200.10 hard drives took over 9+ hours to zero out: the apple store genius told me this was normal. i have since purchased 2 different hard drives. one of the same capacity which zero's out in under 2 hours. that number IS normal.
    Adobe Photoshop CS2 Bridge and Camera RAW have never worked properly on this machine since i got it, quitting all the time when renaming files or browsing my hard drive folders in Bridge. i was told that this is normal and that CS3 and Leopard will fix all this. then the CS3 Beta came out and the machine quits even with the new version.
    i contacted Adobe, they say it is my hardware. i went to the apple store and showed them the problem and was able to duplicate it on every mac pro in their store and they said it must be a software issue.
    i bought more RAM from apple. the machine works somewhat better now, but it still crashes in photoshop and adobe camera raw and bridge. i purchased lightroom and have looked at changing my workflow, and this program too quits intermittently.
    i called apple customer support again. they walked me through using a different user account. same issues. i asked to speak to customer relations. i got on the phone with the lady, and i asked if it was possible to send someone out to look at the machine since it is not working properly, and she said that it is not something they would do since it is not their problem. i asked if they would be able to help me decipher the crash logs so i can find out WHY the machine is crashing.
    her exact words were, "well, maybe you can sell it? if it is giving you all these problems and since it is not our hardware, it might be best for you to sell it and buy something that works."
    "sell it." i would like to say that "sell it" was not the answer i was looking for. i wasn't even mean to her. i was extremely polite and i got, "sell it" from customer relations. i hope none of you get "sell it"
    good luck to all of you.

    You use to use Windows but decided to move to Macs at some point, and not look or go back. And that the Quad G5 worked up until some point.
    When I got my Mac Pro back in late August/early Sept, I ran into some oddities that no one could help me with. Drivers from Lexmark for their laser printers. Suffice to say that I spent weeks if not month trying to track down why etc. and doing the "clean install" but ended up with the original install disk image.
    I'm always afraid if I am forced to install any drivers for now as a result.
    I updated SoftRAID (I thought) and ran into every driver and extension conflict possible, known and unknown.
    Clean install and avoided anything I could "live without" this time around, and it was stable. For a few days, any and every - and I mean absolutely anything I tried to launch, run or whatnot would CRASH.
    I was ready to point fingers. But at whom? ah! must be the Ramjet. Passes all tests, but there must be a gremlin and nothing is good enough to find the cause.
    System is now rock solid and stable.
    I don't know really what or why. And whether it was SMC reset (I wish they would paint the button in RED!) or zapping PRAM/NVRAM.
    I also installed Vista to see if it was OS X or hardware or not. But I never learned what is needed to really use and secure a Windows system - or troubleshoot it if it goes haywire. But you would.
    I have spent 40+ yrs tinkering with computers, and 20 with Macs. I think I still remember some of the troubleshooting days from 1990 hunting down shareware bugs.
    If it is hardware, it would fail running XP too, maybe? did you retain your license for and copies of Windows and CS2 or whatever you would use? (The Mac Pro really shines running Windows Vista from what I've seen).
    It doesn't take a lot to turn a Mac into a crash-prone system. There are some bugs even with the OS update installer itself it seems.
    Troubleshooting is as much art as science. Hunches based on what feels wrong with some sweat and guesses backed by some "CSI" sleuthing and detective work.
    Only Apple or Intel would know if they have had to come out with re-designed chips, a newer motherboard, or cpus. Or the AMB used on the Risers.
    As I said (5 pages ago?) a friend had a G5 Quad that would not run CS2 properly, was crashing etc. (and had on-site Care etc) and the latest logicboard (3rd) stopped the problems, CS2 runs faster and better, it doesn't crash, and the benchmarks show it.
    There are revisions to logic-boards. I read it takes 3-6 months to get a pattern of a problem, and another 3-6 months to redesign parts, manufacturing, testing, between engineering prototypes and manufacturing.
    I thought the whole idea of AppleCare was sort of the "care" in AppleCare. And to solve a problem.
    It would take someone with access to what engineering errata is going on. What changes were made to G5s. There were other problems with Quad it seems as well, heat, the liquid cooling components (there are two varieties).
    I don't have the stomach or temper to deal with customer service, phones, etc. But I would make an appointment (yes, again!). I don't know what terms there are for small business or customers to get premium care, probably not good.
    We had a mainframe with a bad memory card or bank. We thought. We also swapped out every part trying to get it fixed. We even had to keep the room temp colder and controlled humidity. A new system for us would have been lower maintenance, lower energy bill, less strain on a/c even. And smaller (so we didn't need to use as much floor space). But government can be "penny wise and pound foolish" in such matters.
    I know you are just getting familiar with things like "Onyx" and "Disk Warrior" and such. Those can be helpful.
    Crashing does tend to lead to more crashes. Mac OS X is not immune to side effects of what they can do. And usually you want to finish a project, not get sidelined.
    I wish you had a G5 Quad in there. Two systems. Maybe two G5s even if you have the work or so you can be running CS2 on one and CS3 on another. Or have a techie "gearhead" come in and test and insure that your systems are in working order. Something.
    It ain't normal. And it should get more than a "brush off."

  • Photoshop Cs2 with windows 7 64 bits

    i find that the printer icon in the page setup page is missing.
    can anyone help me to solve it, please.
    i cannot select printer while i am in the page setup tab.
    or it is a bug in photoshop cs2?

    Windows 7 x64 is a separate build from Windows 7 32 bit.  Windows 7 Ultimate comes with BOTH.
    There isn't a separate package of Photoshop CS5 for 32 bit or 64 bit.  Photoshop (since CS4) installs both 32 bit and 64 bit software on a 64 bit Windows system, or only 32 bit software on a 32 bit Windows system.
    Photoshop CS5 is fine with every variant of Windows 7.
    Photoshop CS5 is reportedly fine with modern AMD processors, though I have only used Intel.
    The detailed system requirements are here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/systemreqs/
    My own (personal, subjective) opinion is that ATI (AMD) video interfaces are better than nVidia.
    Hope this answers your questions.

  • Acentos Tildes en Photoshop CS2

    ¡Saludos a todos! Soy nuevo en el foro y espero convertirme en un asiduo visitante. Al tema:
    No puedo poner tildes en letras mayúsculas en Photoshop CS2. Puedo poner tildes en minúsculas, y también en mayúsculas pulsando Bloq Mayús. Pero si pulso tilde, y después Mays+letra parece como si el Mays borrase de la memoria el que he pulsado tilde, y la letra aparece en mayúscula pero sin tilde. A ver si me podéis decir algo, majos. También me gustaría saber, en caso de que sea un bug de photoshop Cs2, si ocurre también en Macintosh.
    ¡Un saludo desde Madrid!

    -Copiando la mayúscula acentuada de Illustrator a Photoshop, aparece perfectamente. Pero ya te digo que con Bloq Mays activado también puedo acentuar las mayúsculas. Es al hacer la mayúscula con Mays cuando no funciona.
    - En Illustrator y en InDesign funciona correctamente
    - Las combinaciones de teclas que me propones no producen ningún efecto.
    - No se cómo introducir el código ASCII. Pulso la combinación de teclas de Á mayúscula y no ocurre nada. Lo mismo con otras combinaciones ASCII.
    Menos mal que este fallo sólo ocurre en Photoshop. ¡Si me ocurriese en todo el paquete o en Indesign o Illustrator menudo desastre!

  • Can not open Adobe Bridge in Photoshop CS2

    Adobe Bride is supposed to be included with Photoshop CS2, but there are no links to it when in Photoshop.  File>Browse does not go to Bridge.   I downloaded a new copy of Bridge from Adobe and installed it.  There is still no link to Bridge in Photoshop, but there is a Bridge icon in the start menu.  However, double clicking the icon gives the error "The program cannot start because the file libagluc28.dll is missing from your computer".    However, a search for that file finds it in three locations: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Help Center, C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2, and C:Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat.  Any ideas as to how to start AdBridge?

    Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products, including Acrobat 7, because of a technical issue. These products were released more than seven years ago, do not run on many modern operating systems, and are no longer supported.  
    Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software. The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products.

  • Update Photoshop CS2 (Adobe Bridge, AdobeStockPhotos)

    Ich habe das angebotene Update für Photoshop CS2 durchgeführt. Angeboten war wurde dieses für Adobe Bridge und AdobeStockPhotos. Am Ende des Updates wurde zum Neustart des Computers aufgefordert um den Akutalisierungsvorgang abzuschließen.
    Gesagt, getan.
    Nach Neustart, direkt wieder die Aufforderung einen Neustart durchzuführen. Dies jetzt nach jedem Start des PC's.
    Wie komme ich über diese Hürde hinweg?
    Gruß
    Jürgen Schwarzer

    Hey Jim,
    unter dem Menü Bearbeiten, findet sich bei mir nur der Punkt "Voreinstellungen".
    Bei den Unterpunkten wie "Allgemeine", "Dateien verarbeiten", etc. kann ich leider keinen Punkt finden, bei dem ich Update-Optionen beeinflussen könnte - aber vielleicht habe ich auch nur Tomaten auf den Augen.
    Könntest du mir genauer beschreiben, wo ich diesen Punkt eventuell finde.
    Unter dem Menü "Hilfe" findet sich ein Punkt der "Updates ..." genannt wird. Aktiviere ich diesen, kommt auch nur wieder die Meldung, dass ein Neustart erforderliche sei, bevor der Aktualisierungsvorgang fortgesetzt werden kann. Dies habe ich ja, wie bereits beschrieben, mehrfach getan u. trotzdem erscheint diese Meldung immer wieder, auch nach einem Neustart.
    Trotzdem vielen Dank, vielleicht siehst du noch eine andere Möglichkeit.
    Gruß Jürgen
