"Photoshop" Waiting for Bridge CS6... on a MAC BOOK PRO help

    I have a Mac book Pro, with retina display running on OS X version 10.9.4. and I cannot get mini-bridge to run.  Adobe first told me the problem was with Apple, I contacted Apple and the problem was not with them.  Adobe told me the problem was with my service provider and passwords and firewalls on my internet connection, check with Rogers and no problems.  Now I am told by Adobe this problem is with switchboard (Adobe owns this).
     I have tried everything on the FAQ page to fix the problem and I have also spent days on the phone with Adobe.  They have had me uninstall and reinstall all of my Adobe programs numerous times and I have spent hours at a time on the phone trying all kinds of “fixes”.  Adobe has told me on three separate occasions they have escalated this problem to the highest level of technical support and I still have no resolution. We (Adobe and I) have been at this for well over a month now and It’s gotten so, now Adobe doesn't even call me back anymore.
    The reason I so need this fixed is, as I explained to Adobe, I am in night school (now) for Photoshop and I require mini-bridge in class.  I am hoping that someone else out there has had this problem and knows what the fix is because I have no options open to me this time.  When Photoshop is launched and I clicked on mini-bridge all I see is waiting for Bridge CS6… Nothing more happens, Photoshop is version 13.0.6 X64.  I have stayed home the past few times Adobe has said they would call and nobody has called, it's getting costly at work.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated and thank you.
Help :-(

Hello Gener7,
     I did try everything on the FAQ page (all steps) I also did them a few more times with "Adobe help" walking me through 2 more times.  I just don't get it, I have been on with Adobe on some days up to 5 hours at a time for over a month now.  I think it must be something with the installation disc but they say no, no, switchboard is just not working on my OS X 10.9.4.  I even took the computer into the apple store here and had them look it over, reinstall everything and they say it's the Adobe software.
     Thank you very much for your help, it's nice to know someone is reading this :-)  I do work around this by saving the files and reopening them in the next program I need but everyone in class is always waiting on me, (it sucks) and I just think it should work.  Hope you have a good day and I will put an update on here if this is ever figured out.
Thanks one more time :-)

  • CS6 resolution on Mac Book Pro Retina Display

    The resolution for all CS6 programs on mac book pro retina is horrific. Will there be updates?! I am quite frustrated that I can barely see any of my type in Indesign.

    InDesign has yet not came up with the retina display support update but yes we are going to have the support of retina display for most of the products eventually.

  • Waiting For Bridge CS6 when selecting MiniBridge in Photoshop (win)

    Mini-Bridge does not load any files.  (Windows 7)
    All I get is the dreaded "Waiting for Bridge CS6..." message where the image thumbnails should be.
    Yes, yes... I did open Bridge CS6 manually and it works fine.

    Same exact symptons here. System info if that helps.

  • Launched bridge, then all it says is waiting for Bridge CS6

    trying to view my pictures on my computer
    in CS6 and I lauched Bridge and now all it says is "waiting for Bridge CS6"
    I have been using Lightroom 4 so I am not a complete idiot, just new to PS CS6. Any help is appreciated.

    In Photoshop, are you launching 'Bridge' or 'MiniBridge'? Usually the error message 'Waiting for Bridge' comes when you try to open MiniBridge in Photoshop.
    The first thing you can try is to purge preferences & cache in Bridge.
    On Mac, hold down the Command (apple), Option and Shift keys as you startup Bridge.  You will get a dialog box asking if you want to reset preferences.
    On Windows, Control Shift Alt and follow the instructions in dialog box.
    Let us know if that fixes your issue. If not, don't panic - there's other solutions!

  • Minibridge Error - Waiting for Bridge CS6

    Hi,
    Is there a permanant fix for Minibridge not working in PS CS6? I now continually get the message 'Waiting for Bridge CS6...". I am able  run full Bridge, and I still get the same message whether full Bridge is running or not.
    I had this problem recently and found a fix involving deleteing the Switchboard folder which worked for a while but the error has returned and repeating the fix no longer works.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Mr. Bimg,
    Brett is good and has been helpful to me, but Adobe is clueless as to what is causing this problem. I have been working with them on this problem since November and it has not been resolved. The last message I had was the following email from Brett. 
    Hello Joe,
    I¹ve tried enlisting the help of our Bridge engineers to get to the
    bottom of this issue. Good news, bad news of it is they are too busy to
    help us directly because they are working on an update. For now, keep an
    out for this update and we¹ll see if it resolves the issue. We don¹t have
    a release date yet, so I can¹t say when exactly we¹ll see this. For now,
    I¹m going to close the case (#185096122), but we can revisit and reopen it
    once the update is complete or we can get our engineers to help us out
    directly.
    Regards,
    Brett

  • I am trying to use the Mini Bridge in Adobe Photoshop CS6 (desktop) and all I get is "Waiting for Bridge CS6 ..." in the panel at the bottom of the screen.

    I am running on a Core i7 iMac with 20GB or RAM and have already done the two applicable steps in the main Adobe  help area relating to Switchboard (Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel) to no avail. Any ideas?

    Have you tried to start the bridge CS6  then open Photoshop CS6 try to use the mini bridge.
    I have a problem on windows too.  Sometimes when I open CS6 version 13.1.2 and try to use the mini bridge Its panels has a message Bridge must be running and there is a launch bridge button. When I use that button Bridge  gets launched but may hangs before displaying its application window or anything in the mini bridge panel.  I can terminate the bridge when this happens with windows task manager and start the bridge. After doing that the mini bridge launch button became a reconnect button using it mini bridge then work.
    I can also start Bridge CS6 before  Photoshop CS6 and mini bridge works as soon as Photoshop is up and running.

  • Any fix for touch pad issue in mac book pro on windows 7?

    Hi, I've recently installed windows 7 and parallels in my mac book pro. While i run windows with the parallels track pad, scrolling and right click are functioning properly. But when i logon to windows directly none of them are functioning.
    Pls lemme know if there is any fix for this.
    Thanks

    Running Windows in parallels from the BootCamp partition messes the original installation. My experience. You will have to remove the parallels virtual machine from mac and did a complete reinstall of Windows later.It is better to keep your virtual machine separately.
    This is not true. Running Bootcamped Windows from Parallels or Fusion does not impact the Bootcamp installation of Windows. It just provides a different access to the single Windows installation. Both Parallels and Fusion support this configuration and instructions for how to use Bootcamped Windows as the virtual machine's tartget operating system is included on each virtual machines's respective site.

  • Is $500 a good price for a 2007 15 inch Mac book pro?

    Hi guys, first post so go easy on me!
    I'm just curious if $500 is a good price for the 2007 Mac book pro. He tells me it is running Lion, it also includes a magic mouse. I just want to make sure I'm not walking into a bad deal.
    Thank you for your help!

    "I just sent a message to the guy asking for those details. When I find out, I'll post here."
    So some guy advertises a MacBook Pro 2007 with no information and you don't ask for details up front?

  • I have a Mac Book Pro - HELP - problems with bootcamp = too full

    I have have a Mac Book Pro.  My drive is full.  Sadly I had the partition set up at a store that should have known what they were doing (NOT an apple store, but a certified store that carries only Apple products), anyway.. I am now at the point where my bootcamp is full.  I've tried reading a number of posts, but some things apply to me, some things don't so here is my situation:
    Mac Book Pro
    OS X 10.8.2
    Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
    Using Bootcamp with Windows 7
    I purchased Camptunes by Paragon and tried repartioning my drive that way.  It looked like it was going to work until the following error message happend:
    Windows filesystem verification failed.  Please, repair Windows volume and try again.  Windows is not letting me do this because I don't have enough room. Round and round the problem goes.
    Initially when I was trying to clear out my Windows side I found a bulky .NET program I wanted to delete.  It would not delete it for me (I can retry to look for that error message), but essentially it wouldn't delete it at all.  I have no temporary internet files I can delete, cookies or other programs (except my printer drivers), but essentially - I can't figure out what to do next.
    I read another post about a person who didn't want to backup their files first.  This is not me.  I do back up to a LACIE back up drive that has a 999.86 GB capacity with 872.11GB free.  What I want to know is do I have to buy another back up to keep it all completely separate?  What other program do you recommend to create a virtual drive?  Can I get a step by step on what to do?  I have the original windows disk if that helps in the equasion.....
    My head hurts.... help!

    interenet wasn't working properly and i couldn't finish
    Try restarting while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the startup manager window where you can select the startup disk and reboot.
    Then try reformatting (erase) using OS X Recovery  About OS X Recovery
    Keep in mind, Apple does recommend a high speed broadband internet connection for OS X Recovery. A slow connection may time out before recovery is finished.

  • SLOW Mac Book Pro  help appreciated.

    Hello friends. I was searching the forums for help to understand why my Mac Book Pro is suddenly so slow... I found and ran etreCheck... so I'll copy and paste it here... the one item in read was that time machine is not configured.... anyway, here you go:
    Problem description:
    A few weeks ago, my Macbook pro started running slow… the spinning icon just keeps spinning… it takes so much longer to restart my computer now… 10+ minutes… more than 1/2 of my hard drive is free…
    This problem is more evident when I go to close a webpage or program or when I sync Itunes.
