I get this message when opening PS6 Bridge, see upper section of the annex. If I click Ok pressure I can continue working.Don't know what good that cache content and for which this actually serves. have already emptied via preferences cache cache, this problem is not yet solved. Can some one help me whit this problem.
Translate the error message
"There was an error in Bridge causing the cache cannot be read. Try to clear the cache in the Central cache preferences to resolve the situation."
I hope this is a correct translate, my English is not super , sorry.

for the moment I think the problem is solved now.

Bridge cache problem! HELP!!

Every time I open Bridge I get an error message "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read Cache. Please try purging central cache to solve solution." I have gone to the Edit tab, preference option and purged cache, but no luck. Message still pops up and is not allowing me to work on photos. Please HELP!!

Every time I open Bridge I get an error message "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read Cache. Please try purging central cache to solve solution."
I am using Adobe Bridge CS6 on Windows 8, with Canon 5D Mark III camera. This issue has begun about two- three weeks ago. Now, it has begun to intervene where I can't work on photos. Bridge works too slow and freezes up and I can't do anything.
I have tried fixing it by going to the
Edit tab
preference option
and purged cache
(several times). But no luck. Message still pops up every time I open the program.
Sometimes I get an error message saying Bridge has low memory and I need to restart the program.
Has anyone had this problem or know how or where I can find a solution? I NEED to work on my photos ASAP! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Adobe Bridge Cache problem

When I try to open Bridge I repeatedly get a message telling me to purge the cache. I have tried doing this, but Bridge just runs very very slowly or hangs. I have to close my PC down to get Bridge to re-start.

Try the suggestions mentioned on the below article and check if that helps.

Bridge Cache Problems

I keep getting a message telling me Bridge (CC) can't read the cache, purge the cache in preferences.
I've purged the cache and restarted Bridge a dozen times, and keep geting the same message.

Must be on a mac. Some users only get relief from a manual delete of cache files.

ADobe Bridge CC encounters a cache problem....

it is unable to read the cache. Try purging central cache in Prefs to correct.... done it! doesn't work. same every time I open it.

I had the same problem. Adobe Tech Support representative remote controlled my iMac 5k and manually deleted the Bridge cache folder (including the sub-folders). This corrected my problem. The rep said that using the Purge Cache option in Bridge's preferences will not solve the problem.

Bridge update does not fix caching problems.

Dear Adobe,
The 5.0.1.23 update for Bridge CS6 does NOT fix the problem of constantly re-caching layered TIF files.
I originaly reported the problem here on May 16, 2012.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1007560
At that time I also submitted a bug report via photoshop.com, and received an e-mail response from Adobe support confirming the problem had been replicated in their lab and promising a fix in the next update.
I've since tracked several other reports of this bug and related cache problems.
I assume that, at best, we will have to wait another 6 months or more for the next update. How can I assure this bug will be addressed?

Thank you for this bit of information. Maybe it means I can stop the deactivations/uninstall/reinstall/reactivate cycle to try yet another solution. And hopefully, this will stop the re-caching problem with other than tif files.

Immer wieder Cach Probleme in Bridge

Hallo,
ich habe immer wieder Cach Problem, obwohl ich den Cach mittlerweile in das Verzeichnis exportiere. Habe gestern gerade den Cach geleert und für 1800 Bilder neu eingelesen. Heute nun wieder das selbe: Das Suchen nach Bilder mit einer bestimmten Bewertung war nach einiger Zeit nicht mehr möglich.
Langsam frage ich mich, ob Bridge überhaupt das richtige Tool dafür ist, denn diese andauernden Cach Probleme in Bridge haben mich schon Tage an Zusatzarbeit gekostet.
Für Hinweise wäre ich sehr dankbar.
Gruß
Claus Tropitzsch

Zuerst hatte ich das hier bereits beschriebe Problem mit dem immer wieder erneuten Drehen von Hochformat Fotos. Eines war dabei, welches schließlich sogar spiegelverkehrt war. Ich habe deshalb mittlerweile diese Bilder aus Digitalkameras als schreibgeschützt, was das Arbeiten sehr erschwert.
Neuerdings ist jetzt scheinbar der neu erstellte Cach so defekt, dass die Suchfuntkion nicht mehr geht und es kommen auch Meldungen, dass die Datenbank defekt sei. Ich wußte nicht, dass da eine DB dehinter steht. Da hilft dann nur Zentraler Cach bereinigen. Dabei gehen dann aber auch bei JPGs ein Teil der Bewertungen verloren (hauptsächlich die mit 2 und 3 Sternen).

Bridge CS5 using CS4 files cache problem

If I use Bridge CS4 on a directory and subsequently open the same directory with Bridge CS5, Bridge insistes on rebuilding thumbnails and previews (as indicated on the bottom status line). If I subsequently reopen the directory in Bridge CS4, it again rebuilds thumbs and previews - however only thumbs seem to be rebuilt. The Preferences in both versions of Bridge are "identical". The bridge cache files are maintained in the image directories.
The cache construction seems to be quite fast (faster than anticipated) - I am not sure what, if anything, is being rebuilt.
Is this an expected operation?
This presents some difficulties in that I have 530,000 images (7 terabytes) on Bridge CS4 and the reconstruction of the files would literally take weeks to rebuild.

as there supposed to be seperate programs and independant of one another this is surprising 'not'
I have been onto adobe thru there support link regarding bridge issues and they
advise to uninstall bridge cs4 using there ceanscript.
well its a fiddly tool and no mention of just removing bridge cS4 it wants to remove cS4EXT too,
which i'm not readt to remove, plugins etc......
anyway, cant help, but there was a bridge CS5 patch released yesterday.
i have noticed that some of issues no longer seem to occur
so it may be wise to download it as it didnt auto download.
also i have seen the same issue you state so your not alone.
not sure whether the patch addresses the issue as ive only had it updated a few hours

Switching From Windows To Mac: ACR Database, Bridge Cache Questions

I am planning to switch from Windows XP to the Mac running Leopard. I am now running CS2 in Windows, but will upgrade to CS3 on the Mac. I am maintaining my RAW file settings in ACR central database and my Bridge cache in a centralized cache file. I've searched the forums but couldn't find answers to my migration questions: 1. Can one move the ACR database file from Windows (in folder C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw) to a folder somewhere on the Mac to preserve the settings on RAW files that are also moved to the Mac? Or does one need to export individual XMP files for the RAW files in Windows and move both the RAW files and their associated XMP files to the Mac? 2. I have a similar question for migrating the Bridge cache from Windows XP to the Mac. Can one somehow move the Bridge cache over (I think it's in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge\Cache\Thumbnails\) or do I need to export the cache for each folder and subfolder and move them over along with the folders and subfolders? I would appreciate any help or pointers to any Adobe documents or directions. Thank you.

Man-Kong,
Since you said that you were also migrating from CS2 to CS3 I would have said that their cache files were incompatible. That is what I experienced with CS1, CS2, and CS3 in the past. But Thomas indicated it should work. I must be missing something.
The XMP files move fine for me. The local cache (folder) files have completely different names with each version and I see no evidence that they can be shared. This is also a problem with archived CDs. CS3 always has to rebuild cache if they were archived from CS1 or CS2.
Since the central cache must have some folder references, and this structure will be completely different on Mac, I dont see how it can work. It doesnt work for scripts or actions either.
So my humble recommendation is to set your preferences to store cache and XMP files in the local folders where possible. Then simply bite the bullet. Each time you visit a folder for the first time in the new environment, cache will be rebuilt.
Cheers, Rags :-)

Bridge Cache Destination Cannot be Changed from Old User and Find does not Work

Often administrators find themselves in a position of making a new admin account to resolve a lost system drive or some compatibility problem.
If Bridge has a cache destination linked to this old account, it is due to the older admin account being deleted before the new admin account is setup in Bridge with the cache destination properly linked to the new user cache in the library locations for bridge caches. This problem causes some headaches with things like keywords and find.
If you have had to restore your system or generate a "new user" account, it would be important to go into Bridge and ensure that your cache preference in pointing at the right location, before deleting the "old user". If the "old user" is deleted, you might find the cache location locked to this "old user" in a file structure that no longer exists. This makes if fixed and unchangeable.
If you encounter this problem, regenerate the old user name as an administrator account. Go into that account and start Bridge. Check the location of the cache file in the preferences. You will see that it is located in the proper place for this new account. It is also the same location as your current account which no doubt you have found is frozen into place.
At this point, while in the "old user" admin account:
Go get info on your "old user"/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS3/Cache
Note the folder nest and go to each folder and apply permissions to each of these folders that allow your "new user" read and write access. You can do this in one step by applying the permissions to the Library folder and all enclosed folders, but who knows what that might do. Focus on solving the problem.
Then:
Switch back to your "new user" (that is your current user) account, open Bridge, go to the preference for cache and you will note, magically, it is now located in the right account, it has been unfrozen from the "old user", once deleted, and now brought back to life to help you get ride of this problem.
For good measure, press the choose button, you will find you go to the finder to the right location in your "new user"/current user account.
You will also find that FIND works after this and also Bridge is zippy and fast as it should be.
You can now quit Bridge, Log Out of your "new user" account, log back in and find that all is just the way it should be. Once this is done, go into your system preferences for users and delete the "old user" account (into the trash, do not save a thread).
It seems that there are many situations where reviving and old user id will help with repairs to permissions problems in a mac that has been through system drive failure or significant application conflicts that require making a new user.
Hope this helps someone.

Corrupt Files in Adobe Bridge Cache

Bridge has left me with corrupted files in Bridge Cache which I cannot delete, or scan with Macafee or look at with any other program I have.
When I access the folder containing the corrupt files my PC just hangs.
I have the latest versions of Photoshop and Lightroom running on Windows 7 (64 bit).
Can anyone help?

Apparently some programs can read them, but general advice is to use an underscore instead of a dot.
Before Mac OS X (that was based on unix) it would not make any difference how many dot's, commas, spaces, slashes, etc you where using, the file always opened in the correct application.
But used to that I soon came to realize that not all systems work this way and since I have to distribute my files for commercial use I made a habit of using only 1 dot in a filename and that is the one before the extension. No spaces (instead an underscore '_' or divider '-') and no other 'strange' characters like /, \, '', :,' etc. but normal alphabetic and numeric ones.
I also started to use the creation date in my filenames starting with yyyymmdd and some extra info and sequence number for series. Sometimes people have trouble to find or open the jpeg attachments from my Apple Mail send emails to a windows machine but otherwise I have no problems with clients. I like to keep it that way

Feature Request (again); Adobe Bridge Cache Manager

In Adobe Bridge, the Cache is still a problem and a huge memory hog. I asked for a good Cache Manager over 3 years ago when it was needed CS4.
Now in CS6, I am disappointed that the cache system in Bridge has not changed. Why do you have a section in the Adobe Forums that asks for 'Feature Request' and then ignore them?
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2652688#2652688
"I would personally like a tool within Bridge that allows me to manage and control the Cache in a more personal and effective way. I would like a toggle that would keep '100% previews' in one folder for a selected period of time (1 day to 1 month) before the folder's cache is automatically purged. And another toggle that would give me the option to keep a selected folder's cache permanently intact (such as an Important Portfolio Folder or an Edited Images Folder).
As a photographer, I take and edit a lot of photos. When I import a photoshoot with 1,500 photos (not uncommom at all) I enjoy having the Bridge Previews at 100%, but for only a limited time. Unfortunately, I forget to purge the individual cache of that folder and the cache builds to a point that makes Adobe Bridge CS4 very slow. I then have to Purge the whole Bridge Cache in order to make Bridge run smooth again.

If you submit a feedback poll where Yammer pointed you, and it gets a couple of hundred (thousand?) users agree you might get Adobe's attention.
I agree with Yammer that Bridge is a low priority project with Adobe. Think their target audience is the casual user with a few hundred photos added each year. Your use pattern is more specialized and you either have to adapt with scripts or move to another product IMO.
The size of cache takes a lot of people by surprise. It can grow humongous if you use HQ thumbs and save 100% previews. One can dump the cache in preferences, but many are reluctant to to this as they think it will delete all their keywords and edits. In addition, to do a search you have to re-index all your files, which can take a long time.
If you have "export cache to folders" checked, dumping the cache in preferences only dumps the central cache. To dump the folder cache you have to visit each folder and click on Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder. Again, most people do not recognize this. This technique purges both the central and folder cache for this folder only.
It the 100% previews are the problem for you it would seem like a simple task for the script people to write one that would delete it after xx days as the 100% previews are held in a specific folder.
Bridge is not a good digital asset manager. You are probably in that arena dealing with several hundred thousand images. Omke uses a DAM as it does some functions better than Bridge, but Bridge is still his main program. Can't remember the name, but if you read these posts you might have seen it.

Purging Adobe Bridge Cache

ACK! Ok, so I am a photographer, not a computer person. I'm a single middle aged mom going back to school and my minor is photography..... I am still learning all I can do in CS5.... I just recently noticed my computer slowing down and now I am getting a pop up when I launch Bridge telling me to purge the cache folder in preferences.
First off I don't completely understand what the cache folder is or what it does.
Secondly I know enough to know not to trust all popups.... so i need to understand what I lose if I purge the system.
Third... what options do I have to fix this problem?
Any help in basic untechy simple minded mom terms would be fabulous. I really need to understand what this cache thing is...and what problems I am going to encounter if I purge it.... and what options I have to stop the pop up but maintain integrity of my files.
thanks!!!
Jen

Any help in basic untechy simple minded mom terms would be fabulous.
I never have met a simple minded mom, and one who decided to go back to school could not simple minded so I leave that qualification to you, nevertheless CS5 is pretty complicated so basic untechy is not all that easy...
Without knowing what computer system you are on I give it a try.
Curt already told you that it was save to purge this cache.
The cache folder in Bridge contains data that is created by Bridge when it produced viewable thumbnails and High Quality previews, purging this data would only mean that you trash this data and have to let Bridge again build it's previews and thumbnails so you can see them again in the content and preview window. No more no less. So dumping this cache only causes you the problem of letting it run this process again.
This takes a bit time depending on amount and size of file, obvious the more files and size the longer it takes.
But be aware of the fact that it is possible Bridge Cache is not the only thing causing your computer to behave slow. Usually You should have at least 10% of free space left on your Hard Drive, this space is needed for the computer to write down temporarily files and data and the more space the quicker it will be but a minimum of 10 % is a common rule.
Also having multiple applications running and not having enough RAM (memory that applications use to store temporarily data) is also causing problems.
And to learn more besides from school try adobe TV and view some tutorials about Bridge.

CS6 Bridge caching bug

In this thread we discussed a problem with CS6 Bridge constantly re-caching layered Tif files:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4473274#4473274
Since then a new related problem has been reported and discussed on other forums.
Sometimes Photoshop refuses to save a file, claiming the file is already open or in use by another program, even though no other programs are running.
Turns out that problem is caused by Bridge caching. If you have Tif support disabled in Camera Raw prefs, the save problem does not occur. If you go to Bridge and navigate to a different folder, the save does not occur or goes away.
I've tried to report this as a bug in the photoshop.com site, but that bug reporting process is confusing and I have no confidence is works. Anybody know a better way to report bugs?

Hab das mal auch versucht bei CS6 Bridge/Camera RAW: Bug with exposure sync zu melden...
