Problems installing Bridge

Just purchased Adobe CC. Tried to install Bridge, but recieved the following message: 'Bridge cannot be opened because there is a problem. Ask the developer if bridge is working with this version of MAC OS X. Possibly you have to re-install the programm".
I have done all the updates for the mac. So what is the problem, any ideas?
Thanx!

Culbrien what operating system are you using?

Problems installing Bridge and Media Encoder in CS6

I recently installed Creative Suite CS6 Design & Web Premium. I had previously installed the CS5 version and had not un-installed it. Everything except Acrobat appeared to install correctly. When I opened Photoshop CS6 (64-bit) I noticed that it used the CS5 version Bridge. I went into Bridge and unchecked the open at start box, closed Bridge and Photoshop and re-opened Photoshop CS6 (64-bit). When I tried to lunch Bridge from Photoshop the following message appeared in the Desktop> panel : Waiting for Bridge CS6..." Bridge CS6 did not appear despite waiting for several minutes. I then pressed the Start button and went into the Programs listing. Under the Adobe CS6 group I found all of the applications (other than Acrobat) but Bridge CS6 (64-bit), Bridge CS6, and Media Encoder each had generic icons rather than the expected relevant Adobe icons. I tried to load each of the three by clicking on the icon. In each instance the following message appeared:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher.
My system is a Gateway FX6802. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium version 6.1.7601, Service Pack 1, Build 7601. The system has 9 GB of memory. I ran CS5 on the system and did not experience any difficulty with Bridge.

Thanks. Being the impatient sort (inspite of the problems that can create) I only did a partial uninstall with the cleaner tool, taking out the three items that were not working. Initially that seemed not to work. As I had other non-Adobe projects to take care of I put it out of mind. I even let an updatee package do its wonders. Today I used Photoshop for a quick project. I clicked on the Launch Bridge button and lo and behold the proper icon showed up and Bridge loaded. After finishing my project I closed down Photoshop and Bridge and then went through updating once more. The other problem I was having was with Acrobat. I finally traced the problem to a bad installation of Acrobat 9 at the CS4 level. (Shows you how much I use Acrobat.) I used the cleaner tool to clean up the remnants of CS4. After that Acrobat X installed quite nicely. At this point everything seems to be working as it should. Thanks for your help.

Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance

I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them, However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

Problem: Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working

I run a Windows computer with Windows 8 64bits OS. When I try to start Adobe Bridge CC I get a message "Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working". I Tried to delete preferences (started with ctrl-key) but no cigar. Then I uninstalled Adobe Bridge and reinstalled it, but still no cigar. The same message occurs whenever I try to open a folder with more than a few pictures in it. My only option is "Close program". Someone has a solution?

I got the reset window but only two options was available (the reset workspace was greyed out). My machine has 16GB ram. The "funny" thing is that suddenly the problem disappeared. I installed Bridge CS6 to circumvent, but one day I started CC again and everything was ok.

Problem with Bridge CS4 reading/editing XMP metadata added in Bridge CS6

Please excuse me if this is a dumb/obvious question. I did try searching the forums for similar problems and didn't find anything that seemed to speak to my issue.
I'm having a problem where Bridge CS4 won't read/edit xmp metadata (specifically, keywords and descriptions in the IPTC panel) that I have entered using CS6. it will read some files, not others. The files are all .mp4s. Of these files, I can read/edit IPTC panel metadata for some of them in Bridge CS4; I can add metadata for all of them in CS6. I see no particular pattern in these files to explain what is and isn't read/editable in CS4.
My question is whether this is a compatibility issue between different versions of CS (in this instance, CS4 and CS6). i know it's a tired refrain to blame software when it could easily be user error, in which case I'd be frankly delighted to know what i'm doing wrong. Please bear with me as I give a few more details.
I'm using macs. I've tried this on multiple systems - for instance, on a mac pro 3 which for some reason has both CS4 and CS6 installed, i can add and edit keywords using CS6, but not when using CS4. Again, in CS4, some .mp4 files read/edit, others do not.
Bridge CS4 blames the files and tells me that the selected file cannot store xmp metadata, and that the properties cannot be modified. To be specific, in the metadata panel it says "this property cannot be modified"; in the keyword panel, it says, "This file (zzz.mp4) cannot store xmp metadata. No changes will occur." This seems odd, because I'm able to add xmp metadata for the same files in CS6 on the same computer, and other computers. I know this problem would disappear if all our computers were using CS6 (or CC), but unfortunately that's not a possibility at the moment. Some of them only have CS4.
Computer details (not an exhaustive list, but two instances): mac pro 3.1 running snow leopard, 16GB memory; macbook pro 4.1 running snow leopard, 4GB memory; adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Things I have tried:
Permissions - the files are set to read/write for everyone. Given that I can add/edit metadata in CS6, it doesn't seem to be a permission issue.
Purging the cache - other users seem to have had problems adding metadata in Bridge CS4 where purging the cache for affected files solved the problem. Didn't work in this instance.
Upgrading all affected computers to CS6/CC is beyond my control. I need to figure out why CS4 won't let me read/add/edit xmp metadata, if only for the sake of understanding the broader implications for interoperability.
Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Without having experience with mp4 files and metadata my observation is that you certainly have not updated Bridge CS6 ( should be 5.0.2.4) and I believe also not the latest version of CS4, can't imaging this also stayed at .0.0 so first try to update both.
And if CS4 can read the data of some files it should be capable of reading them all. Be sure to have the files completely cached first, can take a while.
Other things to try in CS4 is refresh preferences (hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs).
And also check for hidden cache files using menu view/show hidden files. Sometimes those cache files can be troublesome between versions.
If purge cache did not work and reset prefs also failed consider to also delete Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manual (from user library)

Newly installed Bridge CC crashes immediately when opening

I just installed Bridge CC for the first time on my MBP, but I have not been able to get it to open successfully. I've tried rebooting, I've uninstalled/reinstalled, and also logged out of CC and logged back in. All to no avail.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to solve it? Thanks in advance!
Here's the first part of the crash report. If more info is needed, let me know and I'll paste more. I don't know how to read this sort of thing, and it's unclear what the specific error is that I should be Googling.

You can reset your prefereces. Hold down Ctr key (option on mac) and start Bridge. You should get a reset window.

Installed Bridge CC, but it will not open. Any ideas?

CC Home page says everything is up to date. Tried to start by double-clicking and also by going to file location. No luck.

Thanks for responding. It won’t open through Photoshop, so I think that I will delete the program and re-install. I upgraded to 8.1 after I had installed Bridge, and I think that might be related to the problem.
Thanks, again.

Can't install Bridge

Hi - I'm running photoshop CS4 and bridge on a Mac OSX 10.7. Today, while trying to run bridge, I got a low memory error message. Soon thereafter, I couldn't use it at all. Not knowing what else to do, I trashed it and redownloaded another Bridge. But when I tried to install it, it said I needed Adobe Application Manager. So I downloaded that, but I still can't install bridge (I get the same message). So I redownloaded both Bridge and the application manager but still cannot install brigde. Any ideas? thanks, aldri7

I'm thinking of upgrading Photoshop to CS5 anyway. Maybe if I do that my problems will go away?
Upgrading to CS5 would sure benefit you but regarding the news Adobe plans to release CS6 in the first half of this year it might be wise to check if you are entitled to a free or rebated upgrade to CS6 after having bought CS5
But first of all you really need to check your amount of RAM installed. If it is indeed 512 MB I'm very surprised you can use your iMac at all but it is by far to less to work with CS4, let alone CS5!!
RAM is cheep nowadays and if possible max your system out, you will profit very much from 4 GB RAM and above

Frustrating problem with Bridge 6.1.0

I have been experiencing a frustrating problem with Bridge 6.1.0 and previous versions. Soemtimes when I save a file to a particular folder, the file is present in the Finder window, but is not visible in Bridge. If I move the file from Finder to Bridge by draging it there, then it shows up but it is so frustrating to have to do it this way. I have tried to use the «Refresh» function in Bridge but that does not help. All scripts are turned on in Preferences- I have Mac OS X 10.9.4

The current version will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Thanks for any assistance.
The easiest way would be to update to at least 10.7.5 (supported on most older Macs) but maybe you have strong reasons not to do so, however it will put you in to more trouble in the future because newer applications have more often the habit of not being able to support older OS versions due to limitations of this old OS.
Here is the announcement of Adobe:
http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/moving-ahead-with-mac-os-x-10-7-and-higher/
However PS CC should still work on your system and otherwise CS6 should. As a cloud subscriber you still have access to both CC and CS6 on the Adobe CC download pages. But only PS is a major upgrade (changed to version 2014) and Bridge has just a minor update and should still work on 10.6.8 I would think?
Installing the updates and upgrades did not remove or uninstall the CC versions of PS, otherwise use CC application to install CC again.

Problem install PSE11 with a MAC OS disc on MACBook Air

problem install PSE11 with a MAC OS disc on MACBook Air I've done the serial number, adobe ID, Option and now install "installation Progess" with a message Please close all of the following applications to continue: Adobe Bridge CS4, Photoshop Elements (Adobe Photoshop elements) I've checked to insure those are closed. Yes they are close - press "continue" but nothing happen. HELP!

Look in Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities) to see if there are any adobe processes still running somewhere in the background.
(Incidentally, just in case you're a new switcher--closing the window doesn't normally close the program on a mac, unlike windows. You must still quit the program itself.)

Snow Leopard Installation Problems with Bridge

I just installed Snow Leopard, after having the CS4 Suite with Bridge CS4 previously installed. When I tried to open Bridge after the insallatin of Snow Leopard, I got four error messages in succession, one right after the other when hitting "ok":
1. PiPL Endian Swap Error
Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
Unable to Swap PiPLprop 'ms32" øms325 §'
2. PiPL Endian Swap Error
Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
3. PiPL Endian Swap Error
Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
Unable to Swap PiPLprop 'ms32" øms325 §'
4. PiPL Endian Swap Error
Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
After that, the program opens normally. I re-installed Bridge CS2, which works, but when I tried to use the update for Bridge CS4, it wouldn't allow me to put it in. On the installation disc for CS4, the place to select Bridge for installation was grayed out.

I didn't get any fix advice.
When I reinstalled CS4 I didn't install the any of the bonus packs/updates and haven't had the problem.
I also had (for other reasons) to do a complete reinstall of my system software, which may be why it's fixed. I'm afraid to install the bonus pack and find out, in any case.

Problems installing Illustrator

Hi! I am having problems installing Illustrator CS4 from CD onto computer with Windows 8. I keep getting an error message telling me to shut down Bridges before installation can continue. I've gone to my Control Panel and Adobe Bridges is not even listed there. So how can I shut it down to install AI?

You probably want to open the Task Manager to shut it down (Ctrl-Alt-Delete -> Task Manager).

Installing bridge CS4 without Dreamweaver

I have a legal copy of Dreamweaver CS4 and this ships with Bridge CS4. A year ago I upgraded to Dreamweaver CS5.5, but as it is a charity volume license it doesn't come with Bridge CS5.5 and so I want to install bridge CS4. My CS4 installation will not let me untick the Dreamweaver installation, and I don't want that.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks

To put it in perspective for you, consider that Bridge started out as nothing more and nothing less than Photoshop's File Browser.
It was renamed by marketing fiat to help promote the totally artificial suite concept.
Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" should come as no surprise.
The "suite" concept is an invetion of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types. The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries. The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

Install Bridge (CS3) without installing Photoshop?

We use Bridge (with CS3) to work with the metadata for batches of photographs. Problem is, we don't always want to install Photoshop on the workstation. We've tried to merely copy the Bridge (we have a few licenses) to the Applications folder, but it's not without a few problems.
So my question is, is there a way to install and use Bridge without having to install Photoshop itself?

Two thoughts immediately come to mind:
• Bridge started out as—and to a great extent still remains—nothing other than Photoshop's Browser. It has changed only its name. Personally, I knpw of no way of installing Bridge without installing Photoshop. Conversely, I know of no way of uninstalling Photoshop harmlessly without also uninstalling Bridge in the process.
• It's absolutely hilarious to read that anybody would ever want to install Bridge CS3 all by itself, as Bridge 2.x in CS3 was probably the worst piece of software ever released by Adobe or by any major software development company. Now, Bridge 3.x and 4.x in CS4 and CS5 respectively I might buy, but Bridge in CS3?
Please!
