Open iphoto folder in mini bridge

I can navigate through my HD to my image and I know the path - however when I open bridge or mini bridge in InDesign it is not there. How can I use an image from within my iPhoto Library in In-design mini bridge?
PS Please dont point me to the tutorial - I have watched that!

The iPhoto Library on the Macintosh is not stored as a searchable folder when you view it from the Finder on the Macintosh. Nor can Bridge or MiniBridge view the images within it. (If you look at it in the Finder it's a single file, and I believe the Macintosh stores it as a "package" file, a container file for the images.)
If you want to place files from iPhoto, you have two options. You can open iPhoto, and you can export out the images you need. Or, you can use the Place command in InDesign. The Macintosh does give access to media in the iPhoto library (and I think movie files) in Open and Place dialogs (but Open wouldn't work in InDesign). As you see in the illustration below, at the bottom of the sidebar is a section that includes "Photos" and that previews images from the iPhoto Library in InDesign.

Unable to load Mini Bridge or other extensions (PS CC 14.2 x64)

Hello, a few weeks ago I ran into update problems with an update to Adobe CSXS Infrastructure 4, and subsequent updates to Creative Cloud app, Photoshop and Illustrator. The updates would not complete and I could not finish the update to Creative Cloud app to sign in. With help from Adobe online tech, the Creative Cloud app was removed, the Adobe Cleaner run, and CC app reinstalled. Once signed in, I uninstalled Illustrator, downloaded and reinstalled it. After that I was able to finish with the Photoshop CC update.
I've used PS CC quite a bit since then and all seems well, except that I am not able to load Mini Bridge or another 3rd party add in product. The messages I receive are:
Mini Bridge could not be launched because the Mini Bridge extension is not installed
3rd party product - onOne - Cannot complete command because the extension could not be loaded
Today (1/17) I applied the 14.2 x64 update hoping it would correct the problem with extensions but it did not. PS CC 14.2 seems to work fine otherwise.
Any help appreciated.

I had the same Problem Adobe had me install three new CEPServiceManager4 folder the third try worked. Here is what I wrote back to them
When I ran Help>Updates there were two updates the CSXS update and and Photoshop CC 14.2. Both update installed however Photoshop extension Mini Bridge was missing.
I was able to copy the folder "Adobe Mini Bridge 3" from the my rename "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4 old\extensions" to the new "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\extensions" folder to recover the Mini Bridge extension.

"Big Bridge" does not launch with Mini Bridge

When I open Photoshop and launch Mini-Bridge, it does not launch "big bridge." The littel wheel turns around and a note says "waiting for Bridge CS5," but Bridge CS5 never opens. The little wheel keeps turning around and keeps waiting and waiting. I have gone into settings and tried both settings. 1. Open Bridge automatically when Mini-Bridge starts. 2. Do not start Bridge until browse files is checked. On either setting, Bridge still will not launch. Does this call for a re-install of Photoshop? Need advice. Thanks

I have not kept up on this issue. There was quite a discussion on the topic in the Photoshop Forum when CS5 came out, but issues must have been resloved as have not see anythiing on it for awhile.
Make sure you have the latest Bridge and PS updates. The use the search fuction (many times google is faster) and read some of the replies.

Mini bridge crashes?

I tried to open two images through mini bridge as layers, it opened Bridge and then I received a message indicating that
"Bridge Discontinued, Click OK to continue" this has happened multiple times. It is almost as if it crashed. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Item appears twice in Mini Bridge InDesign CS6

One of our guys here keeps seeing duplicate items in Mini Bridge in InDesign CS6. When looking at the folder in Bridge, Finder or Windows Explorer, we can see just one of each image in there, but looking at the folder via Mini Bridge shows one or two of the images in duplicate.
It seems it doesn't matter which of the duplicates he drags on the page, either of them works fine. But it is cluttering up his Mini Bridge panel and he's worried that he might accidentally delete items by trying to get rid of the duplicates.
It only affects this one user. I've suggested deleting his InDesign preference files it's not fixing the problem.
Any suggestions? I have to say that Mini Bridge in InDesign CS6 has been surprisingly problematic compared with CS5. I wish Adobe had left it alone.

I suspect the problem is in Bridge, not ID.
Try clearing the Bridge caches or, if that doesn't work, resetting the Bridge prefs. On my Windows system you can do either of those by holding down Ctrl + Alt + Shift as Bridge starts up. On Mac I presume Cmd + Control + Opt + Shift would work the same.

CS 5 mini bridge will not open

This is the second time I've had this problem. I came here and found a download that fixed mini bridge for two weeks. Now back to bad behaivor. Running Win 7.
Hangs up "waiting for Bridge CS 5" but never finds the content.

It will be a 'hidden' folder. You must enable Windows to show hidden files and folders first:
Show hidden files
Follow these steps to display hidden files and folders.
Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Under Advanced settings, click Show hidden files and folders, and then click OK.

Problems opening files & folders with Intuos3 Pen in Mini-Bridge

I just started working with an Intuos3, using it in many places to get the feel of it, clicking, double-clicking, etc. Works nicely! However, in Photoshop CS5 and Mini-Bridge, it's almost impossible to use the pen to open folders and open images. I will use the side buttons to click, or tap the tablet to click. I'm not sure if I'm tapping too fast, not fast enough, or what. The most consistent way to do it is right-click with the side switch and select open.
But why can't I "click" on a folder to open it, or an image to open it in Photoshop? Any thoughts would be welcome!

I have an Intuos4, and although I rarely use it it does open folders and puts pic in the viewer.
Go to your Wacom setup and make sure you have the pen set up correctly. There are lots of options for buttons, tip and so forth.

How do I get rid of them so that I can just open iPhoto straight up without this?

Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder.
Click to view full size
look for a folder titled Import or Importing and move it to the Desktop. Launch iPhoto to see if the message goes away. If there is no message check the contents of the Import folder to see if you want to keep any of those image files (usually they have not been imported into iPhoto). If you want to keep them then drag the folder into the open iPhoto window to import.

I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto: "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?

iPhoto 08?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Mini Bridge doesn't open

In Photoshop CC, when I tried File/Browse in Mini Bridge, it opened the Character/Paragraph and Layer Comps panels, but not the Mini Bridge Panel. What's wrong?

Gene,
Unfortunately this did not do the trick.
I've got the exact same issue on two systems, both Windows 7 based with fresh installs of CS6 and Lightroom 4.
Spent a good 45 minutes on the phone with Adobe support and they are scratching their heads as well. For now looks like using review mode in mini bridge would be a great way to open up files you want to work on, but in reality it doesn't work. The tech I've dealt with at Adobe is having the exact same issue as well.
Not quite ready for primetime...
