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.

Hi,
Try the solutions listed in the following tech note:

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • Since I broght Ps6 for Mac, Bridge does not open and crashes. Mini Bridge, however works fine. What should I do?

    Since I broght (in Adobe Store) Ps6 for Mac, Bridge does not open and crashes. Mini Bridge, however works fine. What should I do?

    When I click gelsonhelmoldmacieira1 (me) in the Finder, I do not see the Library:
    The Library (Biblioteca) only appears when I click Macintosh HD:
    Following this path, I add gelsonhelmoldmacieira1 to the others in Photoshop, Bridge and Adobe:
    It seems that something is still wrong. The error message appears again.

  • 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.

    Moving the discussion to PS forum

  • HT4623 My iPad mini is not working right ?? On some apps

    My iPad mini is not working right on some apps

    You can always try to reset your device and see if it helps matters any:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • My ipod mini si not working and I can't find the answer.

    My ipod mini is not working. I have done all the R things. It won't switch on unless I toggle the hold key, once switched on it asks me to choose a language but pressing the select button does nothing. Can it be saved or should I throw it in a heap with my Dyson vacuum?????????

    It's no longer under warranty? Rather than throw it away, there are 3rd party repair site here in the UK (iPod Doctor is one).
    Might be worth a try because it seems like a hardware issue rather than software.

  • The volume down button on my iPad mini is not working.

    The volume down button on the right hand side of my iPad mini is not working. I can turn the volume up but not down for sum reason. My father thinks I should take it and have it fixed but I'm wound earring if it's sum thing else!

    Thanks; I tried this last night and it didn't work. I think it might be a software issue and will return it tomorrow.  I'll try restoring one more time.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Photoshop CS5 Bridge not working

    I have windows 7 and cannot get the Bridge from Photoshop CS5 to work this is a real problem as most of my photographs are taken in RAW and I can't see the picture in the folder
    I have tried most of the answers to this problem from the forum. Launching from start menu and through Program Files doesn't work. Not sure how to change from 64 bit to 32 bit in Windows 7
    Adobe if you read this why not solve a problem instead of just bringing out a new version and expecting us to purchase this?

    You need to give more details.  Why does it not work - error message, crash, freeze, never worked, worked yesterday?
    Does it work when launched as seperate program from Bridge icon?

  • Trying to do 6.3 raw update for CS5 through Bridge not working

    Been trying to update 6.3 raw for CS5 through Bridge and a pop up window says I am not the administrator for my computer.  I sign in as the admin still does not work.  I have tried installing in manual mode no luck either.

    If you are working on Windows OS, then try to run the patch executable in Admin mode using "RunAsAdministrator" option in the right click context menu.

  • Mini Bridge Layout Changes from CS5.5 to CS6

    I recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6 on my work PC and I noticed a real annoying change with the layout of the Mini Bridge, specifically in InDesign. I was really hoping (and praying) that there would be a way to get the layout back to the way it was in CS5.5. 
    When the Mini Bridge is open the way it used to be was split at the top with the left side with favorites and the right side with a file navigator. The favorites portion was always there and did not disappear when you clicked on a folder, rather it just loaded the file list up in the bottom portion of the window. I REALLY miss that. Now in CS6 there is a drop down bar that is a pain to use and navigate through and when you click on the favorites (or any other option) it loads into the only navigation bar when you click on a folder it does not display the folders inside of it, instead just files in the folder.
    Is there any way to get the Mini Bridge back to the original way? Is there an option I can click to get it to display the favorites list at all times and go back to the way it worked in CS 5.5?

    I've found mini bridge is unusable when it is docked. If you float it then favorites is on the left.
    Sounds like you are describing the docked version:

  • Mini Bridge NOT installed in PS CS6

    Holy Cr@p - THis is the third time I am entering this question trying to get help!!!
    Running PS CS6 with Win Vista. Cannot access Mini Bridge because the error message says "Mini Bridge Extension is not installed"
    QUESTIONS:
    1: How do I install Mini Bridge?
    2: Seeing I had no install error message - what else may not be intalled and how can I check?
    Help

    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.

  • Labels and ratings not working in CS5.1

    I cannot get Bridge to allow me to set ratings on a server. Files on my desktop seem to work fine. If I drag a folder TO my desktop, then BACK to the server it also seems to work.
    Other than that workaround (which isn't viable as some of the files I need to access have TB worth of images in them), here is what I have tried:
    purged the individual cache folder
    reset the preferences on restart
    purged the cache on restart
    deleted the plist file
    checked my permissions (set to read-write)
    I am running OSX 10.6.8 and using Bridge CS5.1 (have also tried CS5 and CS4 to no avail)
    and no matter what I do, I am not able to to apply a rating in the Essentials view. It also does not work by keyboard command (command +5) or by pull-down Label menu.
    CS4 will allow me to choose a rating, but as soon as I navigate out of the folder and return, the ratings are gone (even though they did show up in the metatdata view)

    This probably means you do not have permission to write to the file on the server.  First place to check is write privilages.
