M2t files won't preview in Bridge 4.0.1.26

I'm using Bridge that came with After Effects CS5. Thumbnails for m2t files appear normally but do not play in the preview. I can drag and drop a m2t file into AE and they work just fine so I must have the proper codecs. Is there something I'm missing here or is Bridge just behind the curve when it comes to m2t files? I also note that Mocha for AE won't touch m2t files either which is a drag...but that's a question for another forum.

I am having the same problem with HDV, MPEG files and M4V files. AVI's, Quicktime, MPEG-1 files preview and have thumbnails.
Seems to be a connection between Bridge and Windows Media Player.
Hope we hear soon.

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

I have NEF files that won't preview in Bridge CS6

I shot two D3s last night and downloaded both cards. One the NEF files preview like normal and the other has NEF files that won't preview but open in Photoshop just fine. Anyone know why they won't preview?

You could try purging the Bridge Cache it may be messed up. Edit>Preference>Cache>Purge Cache

Some PSD files won't display in Bridge

Why is it that some PSD files won't display a visible thumbnail in Bridge?
Don

I tried Curt Young's suggestion in the Bridge forum:
When in the folder with the problem click on Tools/cache/purge cache for folder xxx. The thumbnails will be then rebuild and see if that solves the problem. Let all the thumbs rebuild completely (spinning arrow on bottom left corner will stop) before carrying out any other operation. You may have a few corrupted files in the cache.
It worked!

Canon 7D Mark II files won't open in bridge or photoshop

I am using photoshop CS5 and purchased a canon 7D Mark II and my files won't open. I updated to the photoshop 8.7.1 and my files still won't open. How do I fix this?

…I updated to the photoshop 8.7.1…
Assuming you mean ACR (Adobe Camera Raw plug-in) 8.7.1, not "Photoshop" what you write makes no sense.
ACR 8.7.1 needs at least CS6 to run. You will never be able to open your raw files from that camera directly in CS5. There will be no further updates for the obsolete, unsupported CS5 applications.
You have to go the free, stand alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1. Locate it, download it, install it and then launch and run it on ever folder of raw files to convert them to raw DNGs you can then open in your CS5 setup.

7d CR2 files won't show in Bridge CS4

I've run updates through Photoshop and Bridge trying to get my 7D photos to show as thumbnails in Bridge. They simply won't show and I can't find a way to make them show. When I try and open a CR2 file, the image opens in ACR 5.7, which i know isn't the latest version, but when I try to run updates again, it tells me there are no updates to install. Help!

clearyjohnp wrote:
…I found my CS4 had ACR v5.2...so I downloaded the v5.6 update…
You should be running ACR 5.7, not 5.6.
All updates to ACR contain unannounced, unpublished bug fixes and improvements, not just support for new cameras. You should always run the latest version of ACR your version of Photoshop supports.

EMF files have no preview in Bridge CS6

Actually, haven't had EMF (WMF) previews since CS2 or something. Surprised that such a robust viewer can't manage a preview of such a common file. Is there any kind of fix? Win7.

Sorry I can't help, but…
Common file? I've been using computers in the course of my work since the 1960s, and I had to do a Google search to figure out what an "EMF file" is. Just saying…
Remember that Bridge began as nothing more than Photoshop's Image File Browser. It has been somewhat adapted (or is it just "adopted"?) for the totally artificial "suite" concept.
Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" should come as no surprise.
The "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types. The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

Captivate 4 on Vista - Files won't Preview

I am trying to learn using the demo version, but cannot preview the demo files that are about 11,000 kb. I open Captivate, open the file. When I select Preview Project, nothing happens. If I Preveiw Current Slide, the preview works. In some cases, I ahve been able to preview a whole file. It does not work all the time
Can this be a memory issue? If so, how do I check the RAM on my pc to see if I have enough to buy and use this product? I think I have enough memory, but don;t know why else the files will not previewn.

I am having the same problem with HDV, MPEG files and M4V files. AVI's, Quicktime, MPEG-1 files preview and have thumbnails.
Seems to be a connection between Bridge and Windows Media Player.

Files won't open from Bridge to PS

I have been using CS5 since last year with no bother but suddenly I can't open a file from Bridge into PS, they keep opening in Quick Time.
I have looked in preferences/file association, but all the extensions have "none" beside them and when I try to enable them I keep getting a browse button but I don't know if this is correct and if so what am I browsing for? Can anyone please help. RAW files open in Camera Raw OK.

Have never used Lightroom so hard to say.
Since something happened to Bridge the same event could have affected Lightroom.
Since you tried holding Ctrl and opening Bridge but did not get a reset window if this happens again work with this until it works.
May have to reset preferences in Lightroom but do not know what the keystroke it for that. Might have to go the the Lightroom forum.

Linked PDF file won't preview in Safari

I linked a PDF file to my iWeb page but when I click on it in Safari it loads almost to the end but then errors at the last two pages. The same file works fine in Mac Firefox and IE on a few PC's I tried. Safari though on multiple macs just wouldn't view it. I could however right click and download then it viewed fine in Preview.
Any thoughts?

Okay, but what Terminal command did you attempt to use before? What happens in the new user account when you try Safari there? Do you have any Input Managers installed? Those are located in /Library/InputManagers and Home/Library/InputManagers; if you don't have either of those folders, then you have no Input Managers.
You can also try quitting Safari and going to Home/Library/Preferences and deleting the com.apple.Safari.plist file, then restarting Safari and resetting all your preferences to see if that resolves the problem. But don't do that until after you've had no luck with the things above.

M2t files in Adobe Bridge

Is there any way to preview .m2t files in Adobe Bridge?
Note that if i rename the .m2t to .mpg or.avi the preview is ok.
Thanks in advance

Hello Curt and Charlie
Thank you both for taking the time to help me with my tif file problem. Unfortunately none of the sugestions worked and consequently I decided to reinstall the Photoshop suite without removing the existing programme. I did this hoping it would repair any corrupted files and because I took fright at the deactivate message not knowing what the implications would be for installing on other computers or in the event of a hard drive failure.
Anyway, the result was that I still could not see my tifs as picture thumbnails in Bridge. I hit on the idea of trying the original RAW files and converting them into fresh tifs in Photoshop CS3. Hey presto, I can see these fresh tifs as picture thumbnails in Adobe Bridge, so I can go back to my original workflow if I want with any new photographs.
I then reinstalled lightroom 2 and it happily shows all the tifs I possess as picture thumnails. By some trickery I don't understand I used the edit as a copy function in Lightroom for one of the tifs I can't see in Bridge. I was surprised to find the new copy created in Lightroom is viewable as a picture thumbnail tif in Bridge. So I now have a workaround to see some of my old heavily-processed tifs as picture thumbnails in Bridge. I'm still completely mystified why my original tifs won't show as picture thumbnails in Bridge.
The irony is that after this amount of playing around in Lightroom I have begun to get used to it and found it can do what I was trying to do in Bridge i.e. quickly identify and compare different versions of the same image after differing Photoshop post-processing regimes. Instead, I'm now wondering if I will ever need to bother with Bridge again - is there anything that Bridge can do that Lightroom can't?
Thanks again for your help
Regards
Steve

M2t files show wrong aspect ratio in Bridge CS5

We're using Bridge CS5 version 4.02.1 running on a Vista 64bit machine. Our m2t files appear in Bridge as a 4:3 aspect ratio, when they should show 16:9. They import correctly into PProCS5. Our MOV files show correctly in both Bridge & PPro. Why do the m2t files show incorrectly in Bridge? According to Adobe Updates, all of our products are current.

For future referernce: in order to view anamorphic/non-square material correctly the Preview window of Compressor 3, you need to (counterintuitively) uncheck the Square pixels toggle (available in the center drop-down).
However, that said, if you're transcoding to ProRes422, make sure you've adjusted the Frame Size setting in the Geometry pane of the Inspector. By default, the ProRes422 preset converts material to 100% of source but, since ProRes is a square pixel codec (and HDV is not) that won't work for you. So, adjust the Frame Size value to 1902x1080 and your transcodes should be all good...

No image preview in Bridge and unable to write meta data files

I recently converted my CR2 files to DNG files using the DNG converter. For the most part it worked. However, for some files, something went wrong. When I looked at a folder of newly converted dng files using Bridge, I noticed that some files didn't have a preview. These same files won't allow meta data to be written either. Are these files corrupt? What is wrong and how do I fix it? I tried to open these files in CR and they do open. Wierd thing is that if I open the file in CR, then click save file as dng, it will then show a preview in Bridge.

Yes. The original RAW file (CR2) allows me to write metadata. In fact, if I write the metadata to the CR2 file first, then convert to DNG, all the metadata is there - even for the files that at first do not have a preview in Bridge.
But the reason I'm converting to DNG is because I want my original archive files to be in a non-propriatory format.
Even though I can get around the current issues of no preview and writing metadata, my main concern is whether or not there is a problem with the conversion. I don't want to find out later that the file is corrupt. I'm worried that the issues with previewing and writing metadata are symptoms of some bigger problem.
Any ideas?

Previews in Bridge & Vista -- can't compare .psd files because...

Vista won't show me a preview and Bridge only opens with one window.
It's important for me to clean out my backup by making sure that I have the most recent graphic file stored (I have multiple copies of files backed up at different times). I can't do this easily because I can't see .psd previews in Vista, and I can only open Bridge once. Therefore, I can't compare files that are in different locations & on different hard drives next to each other. Does anyone have a solution for this? (btw, I don't think Bridge is that hot of a program -- it's not very flexible and all it does is crash.)
Camille

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I reduced Bridge to compact mode & could then open multiple windows. I spent all morning cleaning & organizing my drives! I have a few more questions, though:
1. When you're looking at the folders in Bridge, all you see is a blank folder. It doesn't show a graphic of what's inside the folder the way that Vista does. Is there a way to get Bridge to do that?
2. When you're looking at folders in Vista, most graphic file formats generate a view of the image. But if the folder has Photoshop files in it, all you see is a .psd icon. I'm assuming there is no way to generate a view of a .psd file in Vista. But, even when I'm in Photoshop and doing something basic, such as opening a file, I don't get a view of the image (only an icon) unless I actually click on the file, then a view appears in the dialog box. I don't understand why the .psd files don't generate images in the program itself. I thought it might be a setting in my hardware that's not turned on, because this just doesn't make sense to me.
Thank you.

PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
Still waiting.
