NEF Thumbnails not displaying in Bridge CS3

I decided to dip my toe into RAW images. However unlike jpegs and tiffs the NEF thumbnails are not rendering in Bridge CS3. However when I double-click on an unrendered thumbnail it does open normally. As seeing thumbnails would be very helpful I decided to do a software update to see if this would cure the problem. During the install process I got the following message - Installation Incomplete - The Updater is unable to locate the product to be updated - Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 Update failed to install.
Outcome - NEF thumbnails still not rendering. By the way my NEF images were produced on a Nikon D60.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. Victor Patterson, Ireland

.mov thumbnails not displaying in Bridge CC

My .mov file thumbnails do not display in Bridge CC. It worked previously with CS6. Mac Operating system 10.6.8
Tried purging cache without any luck. Any suggestions.

Still waiting on and answer for this. Has anyone found a fix? I can view my .mov thumbnails in Bridge CS6 but not CC. I have all the latest Adobe and Mac OS X 10.10.2 and QT updates. I've removed the media cache folder and purged my cache - every possible fix I've seen on the internets and still, not thumbnails for .mov files in Bridge CC. I'm working on an important video project for a client and this is the first video assignment I've worked on with CC and so far, it's not working out well.

Raw thumbnails will not display in Bridge CS3

I am using Bridge CS3 and Photoshop Elements 7 (the OS is Vista). I can open raw files OK via Bridge, and PSE will launch correctly as well, but the thumbnails in Bridge are only the file icons for the raw files, never images. .jpg files are fine. I have loaded the latest converter, but the problem in Bridge continues. Any suggestions?

I am using CS4 and had the same problem in Windows 7. I ran a check for update, ran the update, opened Bridge and still got icons...then I refreshed and all is working fine now, I can see my CR.2 files.
Hope this solves your issue.

RAW thumbnails not visible in Bridge CS4

Well, first of all, forgive me, because I'm VERY behind the times :~) I can't afford to be up to date :~( Also forgive me if I do not use the correct terminology :~)
I just started taking photos in RAW with my Canon G11 and was not able to open them in PS CS4. So I found a thread here and downloaded the update, which fixed that problem. Whew!
Now the problem is that the Thumbnails do not display in Bridge CS4~~just a CR2 icon. Would anyone care to venture a guess as to why that is? Memory? I have a three year old iMac with only 2 GB of RAM, but am planning on installing 4GB as soon as I have time.
Anyway, any thoughts will be appreciated.
Elaine

Elaine,
In Bridge, go to the Tools menu and Purge the Cache for the offending folder(s).
DO NOT use the global Purge Cache command in Bridge Preferences.

.nef files not displayed in my content window!

.nef files not displayed in my content window. I just want to work, not screw around fixing thing. How come the .nef files won't display anymore? The new .nef files don't display.
Thanks for your help.

Well, I'm afraid I'm not going to be a lot of help. From what I see, if everything is installed correctly it should be working. I know that there has been a few challenges associated with Vista, but I don't know enough about that aspect to really comment. I'm still using Windows XP.
As far as Camera Raw is concerned, there have been four updates since CS3 was released. If you haven't done any updates you are probably in for a pleasant surprise. New controls have been added that most people have found to be quite valuable. The most current version of Camera Raw is 4.3.1. The first thing I would suggest is for you to download that update and get it installed and see it that makes a difference.
I know you indicated that you don't want to have to do a lot of fine tuning of the program. But Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is updated frequently, and you always want to make sure you have the most current version. If the new version of ACR doesn't resolve your issues the problem "might" be related to Vista. And I'm afraid I cannot help you with that at all.

Some workstations not allowing Adobe Bridge CS3 application launch

Hi all.
I'm pretty new at helping manage a MIDI/art lab at a high school campus (not new to Macs, but new to this issue).
We have a student login for an art class where students should have complete access to the Adobe CS3 suite of applications. The account is logging in on a server, running apps on the local hard drives, and an entire class of students all log in at once. We've tried to keep all the iMacs current in terms of Adobe updates and other software updates.
The problem is this: there are four iMacs which - in spite of all updates being equal, and the fact that all users are logging into a network account (thus all having the same set of rules, permissions, and restrictions) - fail to allow students to use Adobe Bridge. At these four stations, launching Bridge gets this error:
+*The Application "Bridge CS3" is not allowed.*+
+"Bridge CS3"is not on the approved list of applications. Contact the person who set up your account for more information.+
We've tried several things, including running Adobe updater (again), Apple software update, and resetting/trashing Bridge's prefs.
Again, every user should be experiencing the same permissions and restrictions, and this issue seems to be tied to hardware as it only applies on four of the iMacs. Logging in as an administrator or a local account with full permission allows clear access to Bridge. However, we need the Art Class account to work on all our stations as students use Bridge regularly for class.
Any input and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
(By the way, these are Intel iMacs running, I would presume, Snow Leopard. The model and OS info shown below are my machine, not the lab stations.)

Curt Y. Thank you for your answer.
It was only Bridge who was crashing. It failed to load and Windows was giving an error message.
I tried your suggestion, and resetting all options in the reset window it now loads. It was as simple as that.

Changes made in Lightroom are not displayed in Bridge.

When I make changes to my jpeg or psd files in Lightroom 4.3, these changes are not displayed in Bridge.
I'v checked the appropriate box in Lightroom's Catalog Settings "Auotmatically write changes to XMP".
What am I doing that's incorrect?
Digitalmac.

With the box <Auotmatically write changes to XMP> checked, it may take a while until Lr "gets around" to writing the changes to xmp.
To check directly do this: immediately after you made changes to an image (PSD or other) press Ctrl / Cmd + S (letter S on you keyboard), wait until the progress bar has finished and then check your image in in Bridge.

RAW files from my Nikon Df (NEF) will not display in Lightroom. Same format from Nikon D300s works. Camera firmware is current. Df RAW (NEF) files display in Nikon software products, not in Apple software (Aperture or iPhoto).

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The above list show the current camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw (plugin for PS CC) and Lightroom 5.3.
You will see that the Df Raw support was provided in the latest version of LR 5.3. Support for the D300s was introduced in LR 2.5. (the NEF files are different.)
Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw can only be updated after the camera manufacturer has produced the camera and made it publicly available. If you are using an earlier version of Lightroom then that is your problem.
Please post details of the version you are using at present.

Preview Thumbnails not displaying...

I am working with CS3 Bridge 1.0.0.545, running OS 10.4.11 on an iMac
Whenever I launch Bridge, I get an error message telling me that there is a problem with the database, and "......" was not updated correctly. This may affect searches (see attachment Picture 10).
I have no choice but to click OK, and then I am unable to see any preview thumbnails. All folders appearing in the left panel are displaying as though they are empty, even though they contain files. (see attachment Picture 16)
So I am always told that there are no items to display.
These same files display perfectly in Bridge CS3, on my computer at the office....
This is getting very frustrating....Any suggestions?

I am working with CS2 Bridge (not CS3), and the version number is as I typed the first time (1.0.0.545)
That version of Bridge is known to damage and even disappear files. Update to to Bridge 1.0.4.6 ASAP. It's a free update.
While you're at it, make sure you have updated to Photoshop 9.0.2.
Once you have updated, you will need to Purge the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge.

Presets Previews do not display in Bridge CS4

NONE of my presets will display in Bridge CS4. I can not see my text presets from AE, or backgrounds or synthetics...... I can view the thumbnails in the content window but nothing but an icon in the actual preview window. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks!

Is anyone else using Vista 64 Ultimate? If so, are you able to view ANY of your presets in Bridge? Text presets for example? I was hoping SP2 might solve the issue but it still does not work which is cumbersome. I have gone round and round with Adobe help, I have updated every driver, program and BIOS and I still can not view the presets.
Any ideas? Sorry to bring this up again but, "I can't get no satifaction!".
Thanks for your time!

Some folder contents not showing in Bridge CS3

Some folders will not display in any way in Bridge. It does not seem to matter whether they are Jpeg or RAW files. Other folders on the same internal drive show fine. Tried several options with no luck.

I should have researched a bit more. Did the holding Ctrl while opening Bridge and purged everything. Took care of it.
Thanks though

Some PDF files are not displayed in Bridge

Hello,
here is the problem: I use Adobe Bridge CS2 to browse my large collection of PDF files, and unfortunately some files are not displayed in the Filmstrip View mode; instead a generic icon is shown (bridge1.png). Most PDF files, however, are displayed correctly (bridge2.png). Is this the problem of Bridge or of certain PDF files, and how should I fix them to make them being displayed by Bridge?
Thanks.

curt y
In fact, all files have similar type of content (research papers). However, I found out that all files which are not displayed are "protected" by the publisher such that they only can be viewed and printed, but not modified or disassembled. Apparently, this causes the problem with Bridge not displaying them. It's a pity that Bridge cannot handle them...
Thanks for the help, though.

Thumbnail not displaying when attaching image to email

Suddenly my Mac is not displaying a thumbnail image when I go to attach an image to an email. I have fixed permissions, restarted and relaunched Finder, but it's still not displaying. I've also unchecked and rechecked "show icon preview" in View Option while in the Finder. Anyone know any solutions?

Couple of ideas...
• After you have attached the image and it is showing in the email, right-click or Control-click the displayed image. From the menu that appears, select "View as icon". Then send it as a test.
• Once the image has been attached, fiddle with the Image Size dropmenu choices - this dropmenu is located in the lower right corner of the New Message window after adding the image.

RAW will not open in Bridge CS3

I cannot open a RAW file in Bridge CS3--there is no "open RAW.." in the menus, the shortcuts do not work. I will only open RAWs in PSCS3. I have the Extended version.
I have tried reseeting the settings in both Bridge and PS. Makes no difference.
Any help would be very appreciated!

Have you tried a completely clean install from scratch--OS + CS3?
That will work for sure, but it means starting over with your computer OS install from scratch--a completely clean full format of your disk before starting.
There is obviously something on there that conflicts with it now. The same thing happened to a guy I work with. He tried for two weeks. I had the same problem on one of my machines. I simply started from zero, and so did he. Works perfectly. On my other machine it went right on without a hitch along with the other twenty or so apps that were already on there! Go figure.
Look at it this way, if you want ACR 4 in Bridge, starting over will probably take about one tenth the time you've spent trying to troubleshoot it!
