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 not responding on PS CS6 on Mac

    I have installed PS CS6 on my Mac and the link between mini bridge and bridge fails to respond.  Message comes up on mini bridge 'waiting for bridge'.  I have re-installed the software but still no joy - is anything switched off in preferences? Can anyone help please.

  • Why is Bridge not listed in the CS6 Extension Manager?

    Title says it all realy. Is this a bug, or a feature regression? How should extensions for Bridge be installed? Back to the manual and error prone way?

    You can find the answer in FAQ( http://forums.adobe.com/community/creativesuites/extensionmanager/faq ). There is a FAQ link in the Extension Manager user forum page( frame on the right ).
    Q: Bridge CS6 was NOT listed in Extension Manager CS6

    Starting from CS6, Bridge is not supported by Extension Manager anymore. That is why you cannot see it in Extension Manager.
    Q: How can I install extensions for Bridge CS6?
    Mar 18, 2012 10:43 PM
    Because Bridge CS6 is not supported by Extension Manager anymore, you have to install them manually.
    For MXP extension, you can convert it to ZXP extensions with Extension Manager CS6. Then try steps below.
    For ZXP extension, use utility software such as 7-zip, WinZip or WinRAR to extract it to a folder.If there is no mxi file after extraction, then it is a CSXS extension.
    For CSXS ZXP extension,  move the folder to following folder.
        Windows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CS6ServiceManager\extensions\"
        Mac: "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS6ServiceManager/extensions/"
    For non-CSXS ZXP extension, check the content of the MXI file. Copy all source files defined in "..." to the corresponding destination folders manually. If you are not sure where these files should be copied, please paste the mxi file here.

  • Mini Bridge won't launch in CS6

    I can't get mini bridge to launch in CS6. I tried deleting the switch board and that didn't work. Then I tried adding it to the firewall with no success. It is really frustrating me!

    Did you have CS2 before you wnet to CS6?
    There is a lot people having problems but is mostly PC users that had CS2 installed. Most are saying to make a new user account on the computer log in to it and it works.
    That maybe a work around for the mac also.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop CS5 Issues & Mini Bridge Not Working In CS5

    I have Photoshop Issues:
    Mainly with copy & paste tools after a short period of time, tools start to function incorrectly for example.. Copy & Paste when working with identical images & wishing to select a part of the image to paste directly on top off the identical image they do not align up pixel by pixel I zoom a 100% in to see and ifs off shifted by 1 pixel out If I move it into place it jumps 2 pixels to the left and if I move to the right again 2pixels. I can't get it in the precise place
    it normaly happens after Ive made a couple of pastes.. till I end up having to close & restart photoshop to get it functioning correctly. Is this a bug or am I using it indifferent.
    Also the Clone stamp tool stops functioning after using the copy and paste tool after short periods. Example I copy then paste a selected part of the image back into the image then wish to the clone stamp tool to get the correct texture right.
    And last issue is.. Mini bridge does not load I click browse images & it states "Waiting for bridge CS5.." ? Nothing happens
    Windows Xp Media Centre Edition: (Service Pack 3)

    It's worth checking to see if the "jumping" problem you have is because Snap is enabled.  Snap causes Photoshop to try to auto-align things for you, and can look much as you've described.  Check the View menu to see if Snap is checked.  If so, either uncheck it, or hold the Control key down when you are moving things that you wish to align without snap.
    Also, keep in mind that with the Move tool selected, you can "Nudge" a layer by one pixel at the current zoom level by using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
    Can you list specific steps to reproduce the Clone tool failure?  It might also be helpful for you to capture your screen showing the current state of the image, layers, and settings at the time you're seeing the Clone tool fail to work as you expect.  You may have a setting wrong that someone will be able to see.

  • 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.

  • Loading layers from Mini Bridge not working

    after selecting frames from mini bridge and clicking 'load into photoshop layers' they simple will not.
    help

    Have you tried doing this directly from Bridge? (Tools > Photoshop > Load Files in Photoshop Layers)
    Also, are you getting any error messages, or is the program simply not responding? I may want to move this thread to another forum, but here's a workaround that I pulled from this past thread:
    Instead of opening your files via Bridge or Mini Bridge, in Photoshop go to File > Scripts > Load Files into Stacks. Then, click Browse to select your photos and click OK. All of your images will be collected into a single canvas, each on its own layer.

  • Bridge not installed

    I just reinstalled CS5 Design Premium and Bridge did not install or show up in the package installer that I downloaded? Where is Bridge?

    Hello,
    Would you mind reposting this over in the Creative Suites forum? This is the AIR forum and you'll probably find better expertise over there.
    Thanks!

  • Mini Bridge Missing from InDesign CS6 after Upgrade to InDesign Version 8.1

    I discussed this same problem https://forums.adobe.com/message/5833991 after upgrading to the prior version 8.0.2 of InDesign.
    After upgrading to InDesign Version 8.1, Mini Bridge no longer works.  Mini Bridge does not show under the Window menu and shift-clicking the Bridge icon opens the full Bridge, not Mini Bridge.
    With the prior version 8.0.2 problem, I was able to recover Mini Bridge by doing a re-install of InDesign under Window's Safe Mode.  Microsoft has somehow changed Safe Mode and I can no longer do the reinstall using Safe Mode.  I have tried several different ways of reinstalling version 8.1, but none of them correct this problem.  Still no Mini Bridge.
    Mini Bridge does work in Photoshop CS6 with no problem.
    I have read through all of the messages that seem to relate to this problem in this forum, but none of the suggested solutions work for me.
    Can anyone provide me with an answer?  If not, how do I get help from Adobe?  I am willing to pay for support, if necessary.

    RESOLVED - I can't believe it, but I have actually figured this out.
    Getting frustrated with going in circles, I decided to dig into security options.  First off, I opened Windows' Properties for the start-up icon for InDesign.  Right off, I noticed under the Compatibility tab that InDesign was set to run in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3).  This did not seem right, so I turned off the option to run in Compatibility Mode and re-started up InDesign.  Low and behold, the option Window | Mini Bridge was now displayed!  And it worked!
    Sorry to have bothered you gentlemen with this problem.  I really appreciate your assistance!

  • CS6 Mini-Bridge showing corrupt image

    I didn't know whether to post this in Bridge or here since Mini-Bridge is called from within CS6.  I've rarely used Mini-Bridge in the past because it required Bridge to be running, so I didn't see the need.  A discussion on another forum had me take a look at Mini-Bridge.  It now appears to run without Bridge, though it appears to make some sort of connection to Bridge and have it run in the background.  I pointed it to a folder and noticed several corrupt images.  I then opened Bridge and they looked fine.  I did a screenshot and the image appears corrupt in Mini-Bridge, but fine in Bridge (5.0.2), ACR (7.3), and CS6 (13.0.1).  Mini-Bridge will show several of the images corrupted, while they all look fine in Bridge or any other program.  I'm running Windows7. 
    The following screenshots show the problem.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks, Dennis

    Mini Bridge always requires Bridge to be active for showing the content of the Bridge files. If you start mini bridge in PS without having Bridge itself zctive a message should appear that you have to launch Bridge and also a launch button to do the task for you.
    In Bridge first select the file that appears corrupted in MB and with right mouse click menu choose 'purge cache for selection'. If this is not working first try a reset of the preferences for Photoshop ( on a Mac this is restart PS with holding down shift, option and command key, should be something similar in Windows)
    This might work for MB but also resets the other PS prefs to factory default so you have to set your custom wishes again. Not a big deal but you have to be aware of this :-)
    Same can be done for Bridge itself with restart Bridge and holding down control key and choose reset preferences. But if your first attempt with purge cache for selection works you can choose the menu tools in Bridge and while having the folder content of the problem files in the content panel choose cache/ purge cache for folder and let it rebuild.
