Problems w/ Adobe Bridge on a MAC

Hello People,
I just spent an entire WEEK with Adobe on the phone trying to solve the problem of adobe bridge not opening / working on a MAC. Nothing is working and adobe keeps putting me off, referring it to the next "level" of help. Their service is terrible. They promise to call me back at certain times and do not call back. They refer me to another level within thier departments and the supervisors don't honor their promises. I spend hours of time on hold. I am FEED UP with this problem and the lack of respect from Adobe.
They keep trying to change the "permission" files of read and write within the "users" and it is not working. They go around and around trying the same fix that does not work.
Does ANYONE have help? Has anyone found the correct level of help at Adobe?
Who at Adobe is actually knowledgable with fixing this problem?
How many of "us" are out there with the same problem?
We must unite and get this fixed.
All I can find is info that it can be fixed on a PC. I even called Mac and they have no help. They refer me to Adobe.
Please respond.
Thank you,
Amy

I have problem with adobe bridge cs6. Every time I open it Bridge tells me to Purge Cache. I have CS6 on two computers and it works fine on one of them. I have tried to reinstall it without succeeding to fix the problem. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution to it?
"Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation."

You must have a Mac. Try this.
Quit Bridge, from user library (NOT system and root library) preferences folder find and delete the com.adobe.bridge5.plist file manual. Do this also in same user library caches folder (Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6) and inhere find and the folder called 'cache' and drag it to the trash.
restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences, then try again.

Could you see whether Firefox will start in its Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
Here's how:
With Firefox closed, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Does that work?

Adobe Bridge CS6 on Mac problem

I cannot get Adobe Bridge CS6 to run on my Mac. Just bought Photoshop CS6 and downloaded from adobe.

Solved it. Somehow the app itself was in my trash even though the Adobe Bridge CS6 folder was in my Applications folder. Added the app to the folder and was good to go.

Problem with Adobe Bridge

Hello. I have just downloaded a trial version of Adobe Photoshop - to try it out before I buy it. However, I am having problems with not being able to view images and folders I have just created in Adobe Bridge. For example, I've just edited an image but I can only see it in Finder, not in Adobe Bridge. Is this an issue with cached files and is there anything I can do? Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks Curt, In Bridge I can see all the images in my Photo library that were created previously (everything using Adobe Lightroom). The issue has only arisen with new images, and folders, that I am creating now - since downloading the trial version of Photoshop. For example, an image I shoot now and save on my hard drive, will not show up in Bridge, nor will a folder I create say for today's images. I can see everything however in the Mac 'Finder' program, so I know they are there.
I have Adobe Bridge CS6 BUT I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 - both are trial versions. Could this be the issue, I don't think so but I am trying to download the trial of Adobe PS6 as its that version that I would buy. I inadvertently downloaded, and installed, the trial version of PS CS5.

Try
Open Adobe Photoshop first. Open a Camera Raw file in Photoshop.
Then open Bridge from within Photoshop from File> Browse in Bridge.

Keywords problem using Adobe Bridge CS5

Hi,
I've a great many photos in numerous folders all found under one master folder.
Don't know if this is a flaw in the program or a fault on my part, but what I'm trying to do is keep my keyword list as I continue to add to it...regardless of when I happen to come back to Bridge...'and regardless of what photo I select.
Problem is, when I close out of Bridge and come back to a particular image, Bridge will show me only a portion of all the keywords I'd entered previously. My workaround involves browsing around to older images which happen to have all the keywords listed. (not meaning that all those keywords are applied to that photo, BUT, they're available). After doing so, the full list of keywords I've added in the past will now be available to any other image I select thereafter.
I hope I explained that correctly.
I always figured Adobe Bridge to be pretty intuitive and self explanatory but just now had a look at the CS5 Manual just to be sure I wasn't overlooking something. I couldn't find a solution.
Would appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

Glad the problem is clear now
When I say at their disposal, I mean keywords from which to be applied to each file. When you create a brand new file, from where would I get the keywords? I certainly don't expect to enter each one individually over and over again for every file. At their disposal in my book would mean: available as a keyword to be applied to the image.
In the Bridge book this would mean they should be present in the keyword list that shows in the keyword panel. Like Curt stated the keywords that are already saved to a file but are not persistent to the list show in italic, usually at the bottom of the list under 'other keywords'.
When you need to save keywords to files (whether brand new or old) you only have to select the files you want to have those certain keywords and put a checkmark in front of the keyword from the keyword panel (persistent or italic both work but for the italic to show you have to have files with those keywords in the folder as you have found out yourself by now) and let bridge finish its task to save the data to the files.
You can create your own keyword list on the go when working and use the menu or right mouse menu in the keyword panel to create a new keyword or nested sub keyword. If you have created this word it will stay present in this list (persistent) but you can also create or edit your list in a simple text editor. A main keyword starts at the beginning of the line, hit return for a new line and 1 x tab to create a sub keyword to nest in the parent. Further nesting in done by return and an extra tab for each nested keyword.
You can also export the current keyword list using the little menu icon top right to the keyword panel and choose export. Save it with a proper name and open this file in a text editor to get the idea of tabs and lines.
Sadly enough I don't know a way to export non persistent keywords (italic) but maybe the scripting has a solution for you, if you want to make it persistent to the list you have to do so one by one.
If you have created your own keyword tree it is also wise to every now and then back it up using the export function. You can also import a new list either to add to your existing words or to clear current and use only the new one.
btw, going back to what you mentioned originally in as far as bridge needing time to apply a keyword and finish its task...that doesn't even exist on my end. I'm running off 16 gigs of memory and have allotted a huge number for bridge to work with.
But still, multitasking is not a Bridge gem, if you start assigning keywords from the keywords panel after a few seconds the arrow starts rotating and you have to wait for it being finished, no matter what specs you have (and I use 32 GB RAM on a 12 core processor using SSD…) as soon as the first task starts the keywords that are getting applied need time to save to the files. If you start a new job before it is finished only half of the keywords will be saved.

Bulk Renaming Problem in Adobe Bridge

Hi
I have an inconvenient problem in bulk renaming files in Adobe Bridge CS3.
An original file name for example looks like: DSC_5521
I wish to keep the "5521" part in my bulk renaming process so it may look for example like "Landscape5521" but loose the "DSC_" bit of the original file name.
Bulk renaming appears to let me keep all the original file name or none of it. In which case I have to manually knock out the "DSC_" part of each renamed file.
Any suggestions or ideas would be gratefully received!
Many thanks
Carl

Carl,
While Bridge's renaming abilities is adequate in some post-production digital workflows it fails in the industrial grade categories.
For a simple no fuss approach I have for many years now used free-ware software. If you look around on the Internet you should be able to find a renaming program that will suit your needs. Most of them are small and unobtrusive in their use and computer requirements. Myself I am quite satisfied with Smart Rename 1.0 by ZByteSoft.Com.
I regularly rename, and apply or change date stamps, for up to 4,000 files at a time. I am also able to apply system attributes to the selected files as I desire.
While such programs may not give you exactly what you wish they should come close. It may require that you slightly change your digital workflow and in that regard you may find that one little application that suits your needs to a tee.

¡¡URGENTE!! Problema con Adobe Bridge

Hola a todos. Acabo de suscribirme y espero aprender mucho en este foro gracias a su ayuda y a su comprensión.
Este es mi problema: soy un usuario diario de toda la Creative Suite 2, me encantan todos sus programas. Hace poco compré una laptop HP para trabajar más comodamente, instalé la suite completa y me trabajaba bien hasta hace unos dos días. Bueno, en realidad sigue trabajando bien, todos los programas abren perfectamente, excepto el Adobe Bridge. Cada vez que lo abro, empieza a cargar normal como toda aplicación, pero no se muestra, desaparece por completo. En el administrador de tareas de windows, sólo aparece como proceso, no como aplicación, y me toca terminarlo.
Cuando decido no cerrarlo forzado, lo dejo procesando un rato después de abrirlo y aparece de repente despúes de 5 o 10 minutos. Parece estar bien, pero cuando quiero ir al Bridge Center se cuelga y queda inservible.
Debo confesar que estuve tratando de optimizar el PC desabilitando algunos servicios de windows que consideré no necesarios, y al parecer desabilité uno que no debía. Pensando en eso, los volví a dejar como estaban, pero no me solucionó el problema. Ya estuve viendo unos casos iguales al mío en los foros en inglés, pero no han podido solucionarlo.
Por favor, AYÚDENME....Es muy molesto este comportamiento del Bridge, he reseteado las preferencias, he hecho un restaurar sistema y NADA..
Gracias de antemano y saludos a todos....

Álvaro:
Gracias por tus sugerencias. Efectivamente tengo instaladas todas las actualizaciones del Windows y de la Creative Suite 2. Voy a probar con el wireless apagado, aunque no tiene sentido porque como decía antes he estado usando el Bridge sin problemas con éste prendido.
No quiero hacer toda una restauración de mi pc con el disco de recuperación y volver a instalar todo de nuevo por causa de un sólo programa, pero por lo visto me va a tocar.
Otra cosa, antes dije que había usado el restaurar sistema, pero no es cierto (lo siento). Por alguna razón mi laptop HP no me deja devolverme a otro punto de restauración. He leído en otras partes que es debido a que tengo el Norton Antivirus 2006 instalado, y que éste interfiere con el proceso de restauración, pero no se más.
Espero haya otra solución para volver a la normalidad mi Bridge que no requiera volver a la configuración de fábrica del laptop y que sólo sea modificar un valor en los servicios o en el registro de windows.
Saludos a todos...

Want to install Output Module in Adobe Bridge CC on Mac OS X, Version 10.9.2, but in my Library hierarchy there is no folder "Adobe Bridge CC Extensions". Where install downloaded files?

Hello,
Unfortunately, the output module is not pre-installed in Adobe Bridge CC anymore. So I downloaded the files provided. These are supposed to be saved in the following folder: "Bridge CC Extensions". This is supposed to be under Library > Application Support > Adobe > Bridge CC. However, there is no such folder. Do I have to create it?
Thank you for a hint on what to do.
Best,
Heike

Thank you for a hint on what to do.
Check this thread and read the instructions of the download carefully. You have two libraries, one at system level and one at user level.

Problemi con Adobe Bridge CS6

Ho aggiornato il sistema operativo da Windows 8 Pro 64 bit a Windows 8.1 Pro. Adobe Bridge non ha più funzionato correttamente. L'area di lavoro si modifica e si espande anche sul secondo monitor. Ho disinstallato, resettato e reinstallato tutta la Suite CS6 Production Premium senza ottenere beneficio. Che fare?

Did you reset Bridge? Hold down Ctrl key and start Bridge. You will get a reset window with 3 options.

Problems Installing Adobe Illustrator CS4 on Mac OS X Yosemite

Hi all,
When trying to install Illustrator CS4 on Mac OS X Yosemite, I receive an error: "required resources are missing."
Previously, I had problems using Illustrator CS4 when I upgraded to Yosemite, due to an error with the plugin "photoshopimport.aip." I had attempted to uninstall Illustrator, but the uninstall also gave me errors. I ultimately used the CC Cleaner Tool to remove Illustrator.
Now, however, I can't reinstall Illustrator CS4 either! I use the version provided on Adobe's website, so it's not a problem with a physical DVD.
Any ideas for potential solutions? Many thanks!

I don't have an Adobe installation log, and it's not hidden either. I tried installing Illustrator CS4 again, and I noticed that the install fails while ~80% through an "initializing" step. So, it fails before it even starts to generate an install log! I re-downloaded it and had the same error.
I did notice that I have some errors in the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool when I was removing Illustrator CS4. If you look at my first post, I couldn't use it, or uninstall it, so I simply used the Cleaner Tool to remove it. There are some errors in the Cleaner Tool log, such as this one:
2014-11-02 15:11:19.319 Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool[1573:8801317] The following session will be removed: bf2f18d647916c8449e4a221e4609a2

To make things worse, Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued, which could interpret errors contained in Adobe logs.
I contacted Adobe support via chat, and they simply told me that Illustrator CS4 was not supported for Yosemite, and did not offer any further help or information...
Any other ideas? Or am I simply stuck??
Thanks for all of your advice!

Problem Installing Adobe Flash Player for Mac Air (Yosemite)

I got a message saying my Adobe Flash Player was out of date. This seemed strange because I'd been accessing videos within the last hour with no problems. I went ahead and opened the Mac version installer downloaded of the Adobe site. The install started and after inputting an Admin password, the download reached 25% almost immediately. Unfortunately, it's been stuck at 25% since then. I've tried starting over, deleting the download and re-downloading the update with no success. I've also temporarily disabled my AdBlock and AdBlock Plus. I tried to uninstall AFP so I could start over but the box that's supposed to tell me what uninstaller version to download has an error message saying I need to update AFP.
How can I fix this?
Edit: I thought maybe I was downloading an AFP for an earlier OS (I'm running 10.10.2). I made sure to download the latest version of AFP for Mac possible. The install is now stuck at 30%. (Just to be clear, I downloaded the install package with no problem - the issue is with the install program itself pausing at 30%.)
Edit 2: I figured out which uninstall package I needed (using this page: Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS) but upon reinstalling AFP, it's stuck again at 25% of download.
Edit 3: The message "Connection failed. Trying to reconnect" has appeared, followed quickly by "connection failed". Guess I'll try again.

I've double-checked to make sure that I've selected "Allow Internet Plug-ins" under Safari>Preferences>Security. I've read in other threads that this is one possible solution but it isn't useful to me since I've uninstalled AFP and but I've been unable to reinstall it.
Edit: I'm not sure if Youtube is supported by a different software package but I can watch any videos on that site with no problem.

Problem with Adobe BRIDGE getting Photoshop/Image Processor menu

When I open my drop-down or fly-out menu under TOOLS in Bridge (CS3 version), the entire portion of the menu which is supposed to appear next underneath the Cache line option is missing (i.e., Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Start Meeting..., Photoshop services).
What gives?
I'm trying to get to Image Processor under the Photoshop menu option (which is supposed to appear in the Tools drop-down menu).
Please tell me what's wrong. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but there IS no Photoshop subheading in my Tools menu.
That exactly describes the problem I'm having!
