Raw thumbnails will not display in Bridge CS3

I am using Bridge CS3 and Photoshop Elements 7 (the OS is Vista). I can open raw files OK via Bridge, and PSE will launch correctly as well, but the thumbnails in Bridge are only the file icons for the raw files, never images. .jpg files are fine. I have loaded the latest converter, but the problem in Bridge continues. Any suggestions?

I am using CS4 and had the same problem in Windows 7. I ran a check for update, ran the update, opened Bridge and still got icons...then I refreshed and all is working fine now, I can see my CR.2 files.
Hope this solves your issue.

Thumbnails will not display in Bridge

I am running CS5 on a Mac. About 3 days ago Bridge stopped displaying thumbs for files created from RAW (it does show most thumbnails for tiffs and jpegs created in the past)
I have tried to purge cache but i get a msg that says something like "1st of 3 processes" or something similar but that msg never goes away and I have to Force Quit Bridge. Several times when I shut down Bridge would not close, I had to Force Quit.
Maybe I inadvertantly changed a View setting but cannot find anything to resolve this. Maybe I need to download Bridge and start over? If so, do I need to download CS5 and Bridge is part of that? don't want to foul up Actions or other things.....and don't see a way to download only Bridge.
thx for help folks,
Ed

This sounds like you are compacting cache. This process can take awhile depending on how big your cache files are. Give it 10 min. or so.
What you want to do is purge cache. The way to purge central and folder cache is to go to Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder.
If you use purge cache in preferences it will only purge the central cache.
Hope this helps

NEF Thumbnails not displaying in Bridge CS3

I decided to dip my toe into RAW images. However unlike jpegs and tiffs the NEF thumbnails are not rendering in Bridge CS3. However when I double-click on an unrendered thumbnail it does open normally. As seeing thumbnails would be very helpful I decided to do a software update to see if this would cure the problem. During the install process I got the following message - Installation Incomplete - The Updater is unable to locate the product to be updated - Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 Update failed to install.
Outcome - NEF thumbnails still not rendering. By the way my NEF images were produced on a Nikon D60.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. Victor Patterson, Ireland

RAW will not open in Bridge CS3

I cannot open a RAW file in Bridge CS3--there is no "open RAW.." in the menus, the shortcuts do not work. I will only open RAWs in PSCS3. I have the Extended version.
I have tried reseeting the settings in both Bridge and PS. Makes no difference.
Any help would be very appreciated!

Have you tried a completely clean install from scratch--OS + CS3?
That will work for sure, but it means starting over with your computer OS install from scratch--a completely clean full format of your disk before starting.
There is obviously something on there that conflicts with it now. The same thing happened to a guy I work with. He tried for two weeks. I had the same problem on one of my machines. I simply started from zero, and so did he. Works perfectly. On my other machine it went right on without a hitch along with the other twenty or so apps that were already on there! Go figure.
Look at it this way, if you want ACR 4 in Bridge, starting over will probably take about one tenth the time you've spent trying to troubleshoot it!

.mov thumbnails not displaying in Bridge CC

My .mov file thumbnails do not display in Bridge CC. It worked previously with CS6. Mac Operating system 10.6.8
Tried purging cache without any luck. Any suggestions.

Still waiting on and answer for this. Has anyone found a fix? I can view my .mov thumbnails in Bridge CS6 but not CC. I have all the latest Adobe and Mac OS X 10.10.2 and QT updates. I've removed the media cache folder and purged my cache - every possible fix I've seen on the internets and still, not thumbnails for .mov files in Bridge CC. I'm working on an important video project for a client and this is the first video assignment I've worked on with CC and so far, it's not working out well.

Email inbox will not display in blackberry bridge

i have five email accounts on my bb bold 9650 all of which displayed properly on my playbook through bb bridge until this morning. now one of the five accounts will not display. messages from that account will show as notifications on the playbook main screen and by clicking on the notification that message will even display, but when i attempt to view all messages in the inbox for that email account or for all messages, i get a never ending green spinning circle. i have rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled bb bridge all to no avail. any ideas out there. thanks.

I had the same problem. Thanks to this forum, I scrolled down and saw what was an email from my self to myself, with no subject or message content. I was trying to send myself some calendar events from google cal (to no avail) -- The point being, It definitely stuck out as odd. I deleted it and presto! All of my messages appeared. Prior to that, I was getting my messages as notifications on the PB, and was able to view them, but was not able to display the inbox. Thanks for the help.

My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas

My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas?

Are you seeing this
when you double click on a thumbnail file? If so it's an indication that the file path/link between the thrumbnail and original, full sized file has been broken. Therefore, and assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later, try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

RAW files from my Nikon Df (NEF) will not display in Lightroom. Same format from Nikon D300s works. Camera firmware is current. Df RAW (NEF) files display in Nikon software products, not in Apple software (Aperture or iPhoto).

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The above list show the current camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw (plugin for PS CC) and Lightroom 5.3.
You will see that the Df Raw support was provided in the latest version of LR 5.3. Support for the D300s was introduced in LR 2.5. (the NEF files are different.)
Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw can only be updated after the camera manufacturer has produced the camera and made it publicly available. If you are using an earlier version of Lightroom then that is your problem.
Please post details of the version you are using at present.

Photos show up as thumbnail but when I click on them they will not display

Photos show up as thumnails but when I click on them they will not display. I get a exclamation mark in a dotted line box

Hylan:
That occurs when the library has lost the link to the original file. This is a result of a damaged library database file, Library6.iPhoto. You can try rebuilding the library from within iPhoto to see if you can recover the photos by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. However, it's iffy.
You can rebuild the library with iPhoto Library Manager as it create a new library, leaving the original one intact, by reading the AlbumData.xml file and copying what it needs. You will be able to recover the photos, albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, slideshows, and calendars will not be recovered. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
It that doesn't work you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Some folder contents not showing in Bridge CS3

Some folders will not display in any way in Bridge. It does not seem to matter whether they are Jpeg or RAW files. Other folders on the same internal drive show fine. Tried several options with no luck.

I should have researched a bit more. Did the holding Ctrl while opening Bridge and purged everything. Took care of it.
Thanks though

Hasselblad Thumbnails (*.fff) not displayed in CS4

Hasselblad thumbnails (*.fff) not displayed. Older file-versions created from *.3fr to *.fff by FlexColor are displayed. Newer versions created by Phocus are not displayed. In Apples finder they are all displayed well and you can zoom in to full screen. This is valid for *.3fr, *.fff (created by RAW-converter FlexColor or Phocus).
Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 Design Premium actual version, camera raw 5.4, Mac OS X 10.5.7, Power Mac G5

Here, I found a relevant thread in the ACR forum for you:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1982052#1982052
Only ".3FR" is supported. ".FFF" is not supported.
Since ACR does not support .fff raw files, Bridge cannot build the thumbnails.
The Finder is most probably just showing you the embedded JPEG preview.

Some workstations not allowing Adobe Bridge CS3 application launch

Hi all.
I'm pretty new at helping manage a MIDI/art lab at a high school campus (not new to Macs, but new to this issue).
We have a student login for an art class where students should have complete access to the Adobe CS3 suite of applications. The account is logging in on a server, running apps on the local hard drives, and an entire class of students all log in at once. We've tried to keep all the iMacs current in terms of Adobe updates and other software updates.
The problem is this: there are four iMacs which - in spite of all updates being equal, and the fact that all users are logging into a network account (thus all having the same set of rules, permissions, and restrictions) - fail to allow students to use Adobe Bridge. At these four stations, launching Bridge gets this error:
+*The Application "Bridge CS3" is not allowed.*+
+"Bridge CS3"is not on the approved list of applications. Contact the person who set up your account for more information.+
We've tried several things, including running Adobe updater (again), Apple software update, and resetting/trashing Bridge's prefs.
Again, every user should be experiencing the same permissions and restrictions, and this issue seems to be tied to hardware as it only applies on four of the iMacs. Logging in as an administrator or a local account with full permission allows clear access to Bridge. However, we need the Art Class account to work on all our stations as students use Bridge regularly for class.
Any input and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
(By the way, these are Intel iMacs running, I would presume, Snow Leopard. The model and OS info shown below are my machine, not the lab stations.)

Curt Y. Thank you for your answer.
It was only Bridge who was crashing. It failed to load and Windows was giving an error message.
I tried your suggestion, and resetting all options in the reset window it now loads. It was as simple as that.

Edit Photo dialog box will not display

When I select edit in CS5 my file goes straight to CS5 and my edit in the dialog box will not display. I have no way to oprn with a copy or etc with out the edit dialalog box.
Iam using LR 4 latest version I must have changed some thing no realizing . Everthing was fine until a while ago.
All the NEF files that were recently imported are the ones that the dialog box will not show the TIF files the dialog box will show.
When these files were ompoterted all the history does not show in the module just the import. Did I import wrong causing all the history not to show??
Thank you
Dick

Hi Dick,
That sounds like normal behaviour with Raw files to me. They usually go straight through the Camera Raw pipeline into Photoshop. Rendered files like Tiff and Jpeg have the Original/Copy/Lightroom Adjustments dialog.
I'm not sure what you mean by History because on Import, there is only one history state: Import.

Cross References Will Not Display Page Number

Got some documents created in InDesign CS3 (MAC). When bringing them into CS4 (Windows) and trying to create a paragraph cross-reference the page numbers will not display. All the other text in the cross reference ("paragraph", the word "page", etc.) displays correctly. Even the cross reference under the "hyperlinks" toolbar shows nothing (instead of the usual # indicating a page number).
However If I copy some of the same pages into a new document and create a cross reference in it the page number displays correctly. But since it's over 300 pages I really would hate to have to do that!
Any ideas?

Is it maybe because CS3 does not include the cross references function (not a feature until CS4)?
That's a real problem if we use an outside source to create a lot of our documents and they're working in a previous version.
