Problem purging cache with Bridge CS6

When I open Bridge CS6, I get a message that the cache needs to be purged. When I initiate the purge, the program hangs, and I have to Force Quit. How can I resolve this?

You posted in the Photoshop forum by mistake. I've moved your post to the Bridge forum where you are more likely to get answers about Bridge issues.

When you sign in to Adobe.com with the user ID and Password your using in the Creative Cloud and Photoshop does this link https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html show that the account has a subscription?

Problem with Bridge CS6 and MCXRedirector (OS X 10.9.5)

Good afternoon all, I have a very irritating issue with Bridge CS6 that I've pretty much given up on now, so I'm wondering if anyone out there can help me before I do.
The issue lies with Bridge CS6 running in a networked Mac environment, first, a little background: I am using OS X Server's Workgroup Manager facility for various restrictions and folder redirection. Our users had a nasty bug a little while ago that caused saved Photoshop files to end up in ~/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems instead of the actual network home location they selected to save in. While this was happening, a single entry was being used in the MCXRedirectory preference to redirect the entire of ~/Library/Caches/
This was resolved by changing that preference and branching it out a little more, so now the folders subject to redirection are as follows:
~/Library/Caches/Adobe
~/Library/Caches/Adobe Camera Raw
~/Library/Caches/Meta
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Doing this fixed the saving issue with Photoshop, but has in turn broken Bridge. When launched, Bridge immediately fails with the error "Adobe Bridge CS6 quit unexpectedly" and gives the three options to ignore, report or reopen.
Taking away the ~/Library/Caches/Adobe redirection allows Bridge to work as normal again, but then I'm back to square one with Photoshop files saving in TemporaryItems again.
Does anyone have any advice to remedy this annoying problem please?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Bridge version is 5.0.2.4

Sorry, did not solve the problem. The info given did not bear much relation to what I could see in the print drop down box. I have been through all settings I can access and every thing appears normal. The print preview in the print box appears normal and shows colour, but this does not translate to the actual print.
When printing a docuement of 3 pages or more using double sided the result is the first docuement page on one side of a sheet and the last page on the other side, but upside down, despite orientation set to long edge binding. All other pages between first and last are ignored.
When printing docuements originating from printer software such as Print Quality Diagnostic and Make The Most Of Your Printer, the printer performs correctly with good quality printing and colour.
I assume that the Mac update to 10.9.5 has corrupted something but I am not knowkedgeable enough to understand what. Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Bridge CC cache not compatible with bridge CS6

Starting the Photoshop CC adventure. First install was Bridge. First test was to see if the Bridge CC cache is compatible with Bridge CS6 cache. First result is NO.
Test method:
1. Set the Bridge CC cache location to the same folder I use for CS6, which contains 10+ gigs of thumbs for my library.
2. Navigated Bridge CC to a sub-folder with about 30 images, see Bridge CC re-do the thumb extractions.
3. Close Bridge CC, launch Bridge CS6, navigate to the same sub-folder, see Bridge CS6 re-do the thumb extractions.
4. Close Bridge CS6, launch Bridge CC, still pointing to the same sub-folder, see it re-do thumb extractions again.
5. Repeat steps 3&4, always with same result, a redundant re-generation of thumbs.
Conclusion:
The actual thumbnail files in the cache are the same. But something happens in the index files (data/store) to make each version think it does not have thumbnails, so it re-generates them. IOW, when Bridge CC looks at the cache last used by Bridge CS6 it says "I have not been here, must re-cache", and visa-versa.
Solution:
Must let Bridge CC have its own separate cache, so the two versions don't walk over each other. Must let Bridge CC re-cache everything, which for me (and most users I assume) will be a long and time consuming process.
Not much surprise here. The same was true for CS5 vs. CS6.

Not much surprise here. The same was true for CS5 vs. CS6.
Then it also should not be a surprise for you that this behavior already started in the Filebrowser (Bridge predecessor that came with CS1 and by far the most stable and fast cache ever in the history of Bridge) and has not changed since. Nor is it likely it will chance in the future.
Hence my advice to not use Bridge for long term DAM because you need to recache the lot every new version...

Will Photoshop CC work with Bridge CS6

Hi
I'm about to download Photoshop CC (Windows 7). I already have Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 installed. My questions is do I have to download and install Bridge CC or will Photoshop CC work ok with Bridge CS6.
Thanks

Like versions communicate with each other with the statup scripts. So CS6 Bridge is going to call CS6 PS when you select PS/Tools. It has no communication link to CC.
You can open images in CC from CS6 but you will not be able to use Tools/photoshop to call up Bridge CC.

CS6 Bridge says encountered problem, purge cache

Hi there Forum Room, Please can anyone help.
I have been running photoshop CS6 for about 2yrs on my iMac running with 6gb Ram. Whenever I open Bridge I get this message and then it locks.
"Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation"
The only way to close the program is to force quit
I have tried purging, through Tools > Cache > Purge cache > But it still locks up, the little circle in the bottom left corner keeps going round and never stops this has been going all night and nothing has changed.
I have tried uninstall and reinstall but bridge has this problem again, Photoshop works good but I have no preview area to view photos before editing !......Please Please can anyone help

Have you had problems with Bridge CS6 after CR 8.4 installed?

Adobe Bridge CS6 running on Mac OS X 10.7.5 crashed several times while sorting images . After installing Camera Raw 8.4, images in portrait orientation rotated to landscape and now the rotate image buttons and menuitems are unavailable for raw files including dng's. Camera Raw preferences will not open from Bridge. What is the best approach for uninstalling/reinstalling Bridge and CR updates? Should I reinstall Photoshop as well?

I do recommend that anyone who is having weird issues with iTunes try Dave's suggestion of UNINSTALLING Flip4Mac and see what happens (but will an uninstall get rid of this particular file? who knows).
Good point, and something I should not have trusted without confirming. I just tried it and the uninstaller does not remove that framework. That's a serious "oops" on the part of Telestream (and I did confirm that the Flip4Mac installer does install that framework). The framework folder will need to be removed manually.
Regards.

What is wrong with Bridge CS6?

I have recently been experiencing a rash of strange problems with Adobe Bridge CS6 (5.0.2.4). Basically, it seems to no longer be able to recognize metadata. The list of malfunctions include: No EXIF data displayed, can not launch ACR, can not rotate images, thumbnail metatdata does not display dimensions (a blank space where dimensions should be), full screen previews are small, Bridge does not recognize or display changes made to images in ACR, Star ratings dissappear or can not be sorted. I am finding some new problem daily. ACR and Photoshop are uneffected. Running on Mac OS X 10.9.2. Seems to have failed shortly after an update from Adobe.
From my perspective it seems like an Adobe problem since the last thing to change on my system was an Adobe update. Everything was working fine after my most recent OS update. So, I do not immediately suspect Mavericks. Anyone else having these problems? Any ideas on a solution or troubleshooting? Already performed the "opt-click" on launch reset/purge, etc.

Issue with Bridge CS6

I've recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6. My problem is, every time I open Bridge CS6, either directly or through Photoshop, Bridge CS5 opens up instead. I can change it to CS6 but not permanently, CS5 seems to override it. I still have Premiere Pro CS5.5 on my system and assume that's were the CS5 originates. It is very annoying, especially when opening minibridge. I want to keep PPro CS5.5 because I like Vid editing but I am a photographer and wish to enjoy the full charms of PS CS6. Any help would be fab.
John

If its not the CS6 Install did not work correctly you could just try to install CS6 again on top of CS6. If still bad edit shortcuts for the bridge to see if you can poit to the CS6 bridge and use regedit (be careful) to fix [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\bridge.exe]
If you installed CS6 beta you needed to un-install that first with a Adobe CS6 Beta cleaner before installing CS6.

Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6

Hi folks,
I recently installed a routine update for Camera RAW 8.4 and now have a bunch of issues with Bridge including -
- No previews or ratings showing
- Ratings filter not working
- Can't open images directly into Camera RAW without first opening Photoshop (ie - keyboard shortcut not working and File menu command "Open in Camera raw" not available)
- Can't access or open Camera RAW preferences
I've tried resetting Bridge to default settings but didn't help and ACR still works fine opening in PS. I've attached two screenshots to show the problem better.
Anyone else having these problems? Any solutions?

This should fix it: Camera Raw 8.4 | No metadata or Camera Raw edit

Replace Bridge CS5 with Bridge CS6?

Hi All (my first post, whoop!),
Having been using Photoshop CS5 with Bridge CS5 happily for sometime, we've now purchased InDesign CS6 which has installed Bridge CS6.
Can I uninstall the now redundant Bridge CS5 without upsetting Photoshop?
I have searched this forum but couldn't find an answer (maybe I missed a thread somewhere).
Thanks for your help,
Matt
p.s. We use Macs.

No, you cannot uninstall Bridge separately. It's simply not possible for technical reasons. Bridge CS6 can use PS CS5, though, and conversely, PS will happily use a newer version of Bridge without much ado, give or take a few specific cases. Check the file associations in Bridge and your system in general.

Photoshop CS5 with Bridge CS6?

I want to use the tool function in Bridge CS6, but it is not showing Photoshop CS5. Can I connect Photoshop CS5 to Bridge CS6 and if yes, how can it do this?
Thanks

I just checked and tried to re-install Photoshop CS5, but the CD doesn't actually include Bridge, so I am back to square one.
Any idea how I can link the two together?
Thanks

Problem with Bridge CS6 and zooming to 100%

When I click on a file to zoom to 100% it zooms to 800%. I had the same problem in CS5 and fixed it by deleting the com.adobe.bridge.plist, but this does not work with CS6 and I don't even find the plist. I have a Mac with OS X 10.8.2. I found two plists, com.adobe.CSXS.3 and com.adobe.CSXS2Preferences but it didn't fix the problem deleting them.
I use the zoom function alot and would be very grateful if someone could help me. I do not like the preview workspace with the little 100% window, I prefer zooming to 100% by clicking on the file.

It does not work on a Mac, and they have only one set og +/-, at least my Macbook Pro has.
That is a bit strange, it always has worked for that way on both my Mac Pro and my MacBook.
I can use the scroll wheel on my mouse to enlarge the 100 % preview from loupe in preview window to 200, 400 and 800% but also the + and - keys from both my qwerty key board and the number pad of my extended keyboard for the same result.
Hitting tab for full screen preview I don't even have to click, both aforementioned + and - keys set to 100%, 200, 400 and 800% as well my scroll wheel.
All those methods work on both MacPro and MacBook.

Recurring problem with Bridge CS6 64-bit

This happens every time I close Bridge to optimize my resources when I'm working in After Effects. I close out of Bridge - work for a while in After Effects, then need to import a new graphic into the project. When I try to start Bridge, nothing happens. So...I go to the task manager (Win Vista Business 64-bit), and guess what's still running there? bridge.exe - so I close it down in the task manager, then it starts up just fine.

Never done it myself, but isn't there a Mac-style never-close-Bridge thingamy in Preferences (minimise to tray, or Start Bridge at Logon)? I think, when it's ticked, Bridge never closes, it minimised instead.
In Bridge preferences is a setting you can check so that Bridge starts when your computer starts (in other words login to your user account)
When you check this setting in Bridge on a Mac it starts in the background when you start the computer (the application is running but hidden from the desktop)
Hence I always use the option via the system preferences itself because I don't want it to be hidden but immediately active when I start working
However Bridge has it's own mind (sadly enough not limited to this setting only) and every now and then decides to either start hiding itself or even deselect the auto start option totally. To my memory this problem is as old as it first appeared (in CS3?)
I have learned to live with this, although under protest...
Can't think of a reason this setting should not be able in Windows (for Mac it is in the advanced preferences tab 'start bridge at login')
And on a Mac we have three little button icons on a document or open window. A red one to close it, a yellow one to minimize it to the dock and a green one to fit the screen.
Neither of them quits the application itself
That aside I seem to remember other threads about same issue with closing windows and not quitting the application for Windows also.
