Suddenly PSE 6 And Bridge CS3 Started Crashing

I've been using PSE 6 along with Bridge CS3 on an iMac for about a year and a half now with almost no problems what so ever. Yesterday Bridge crashed and today PSE 6 crashed twice inside of 20 minutes. Idid an update to iTunes and Quicktime about a week or so ago and an update to Flash a couple of days ago. Other than that nothing has changed on my Mac. Has anyone else suddenly starting having problems or is this just my own problem?
Thanks,
lmb

No, I haven't done that. I have never repaired permissions after installing auto updates. I'm not the sharpest on a Mac which leads me to this question:
how do I repair permissions?
Thank you much!

Adobe Bridge CS3 is crashing everytime it attempts to open.

I am running a MacBook Pro with 10.9.4. Today when I attempted to open Bridge CS3, it crashed. No error. Just crash. Repeatedly. I have deleted all Adobe and reinstalled, but Bridge continues to crash. I have used the "shift/option" menu to reset prefs, etc, and it still crashes. I downloaded a supposed patch for Bridge & installed it even though my APP store didn't want me to, and Bridge continues to crash.
I'm a photographer and depend on Bridge as my photo browser.
Any other ideas for me to try?

Well, I don't know what just happened to the gremlins, but get this:
On a whim, I held down only the shift key while attempting once again to open Bridge. And it OPENED without crashing.
I was afraid to let up on the key...but I did and Bridge did not crash. I browsed a couple of photo folders, closed Bridge....reopened it WITHOUT the shift key & it opened. I've now tried that several times and it's not crashing. And while I'm glad it's working, I'm not holding my breath that it will continue to work. WEIRD.
I'm going to re-start the macbook pro and see what happens.

PSCS3 & Bridge CS3 complete crash-Help needed

After several months both PSCS3 and Bridge CS3 crashed. After several reboots with no success, I uninstalled everything.
I then reinstalled from scratch. Installed the updates. Now Bridge will not see previously viewed original CR2 files properly. No option to open directly to Camera RAW. When I go to my backup files, the CR2 files work fine.
From original CR2 files and backup files PSCS3 crashes when attempt to move from ACR to PhotoShop.
I am processing a photoshoot. Please help.

Transferring Files Causes Bridge CS3 to Crash

I am using Bridge CS3 as a means of cataloguing a lot of imagery. I have gotten to about 2600 images in one folder and every time I try to drag more into the folder Bridge crashes. Any ideas on how much info a folder can handle, or bridge in general. I am saving these images to a Server so it is not a memory issue on my internal hard drive.

The last version of Bridge CS3 was 2.1.1.9. Make sure you are updated.
That being said, all versions of Bridge 2.x were downright awful, miserable, despicable and intolerable. It should have been fixed for free.
Fortunately, Bridge 3.x in CS4 is a different animal, vastly improved, but it's not free.

How do I get Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3 to show and open camerea RAW files?

I am not able to see or open Raw files from my Canon 40D in either Photoshop CS3 or Bridge CS3. At first I was able to open RAWS in Photoshop and then I followed directions on the internet at how to manually replace a Camera Raw Plugin so I could open it in Bridge and now neither of the apps work with RAW. In photoshop It says that the file is not supported.
I looked up what plug in I needed and it said 4.2 for a Canon 40 D. I also followed the instructions in the read me file that was with the plugin download. No results from it. I even tried to switch it back to the old plug in to see if I could atleast get back the capiblility of opening it in Photoshop even though bridge was not working...still can't open it in either. What am I missing?

You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

Keywords, iPhoto '08 and Bridge CS3

I've got a bunch of photos (10,000) with keywords added with Adobe Bridge CS3. When I import these into iPhoto (with "Copy items to the iPhoto library" checked/enabled), the keywords import.
But when I use iPhoto to add new keywords, these keywords do not get written to the file! They seem to exist only in the iPhoto database. And Spotlight keys off the actual file, so none of my newly added keywords are searchable in Spotlight, only the IPTC keywords on the file. Which is not what I want.
However, if I import a file to iPhoto that has no IPTC keywords on it, and then I add keywords with iPhoto, iPhoto will write these keywords to the file. So it appears that iPhoto won't write out IPTC keywords if the file already has them. That *****. Big time.
Does this mean that if I want to use iPhoto exclusively (abandoning Bridge CS3) to manage my photos etc that I have to somehow strip off all IPTC keywords and then re-import to iPhoto, and then re-tag all my 10,000 files with keywords? Please tell me there is an easier way.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
these keywords do not get written to the file! They seem to exist only in the iPhoto database
This is correct. You can write them to the file on export (File -> Export).
iPhoto is your photo organiser, so the idea is that you don't search in Spotlight but in iPhoto or in a media browser that hooks into iPhoto. Remember, if you're using iPhoto you can't really access the files via the Finder anyway.(* See Below for more)
You do need to choose between Bridge and iPhoto. They do the same job but surfing the iPhoto library with Bridge is one of the more common ways of damaging it.
However, if I import a file to iPhoto that has no IPTC keywords on it, and then I add keywords with iPhoto, iPhoto will write these keywords to the file. So it appears that iPhoto won't write out IPTC keywords if the file already has them.
I'm afraid that I'm not sure the point you're making. iPhoto will read the IPTC tags and add to them on export.
*There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Bridge CS3 now crashes when moving/copying files

As the title says.
A few days ago Bridge started freezing and I dumped the preference files from the user Library, the computer's Library and also the one in the "Save preferences" folder. Now it's giving me problems when moving/copying files with the 'Move to" and "Copy to" commands on the File menu. It works fine when I use one of the options on the "Recent Folders" list, but when I want to select a folder using the "Choose Folder" option, it just crashes.

Hi Robert,
I'm a developer from Br team. Thanks for reporting Br. problems.
It seems like a memory issue. Please try this to help us identify the root cause:
1. Disable all startup scripts (Edit->Preferences->Startup Scripts->Disable All), then restart Br.
2. When Br is running, kill "SwitchBoard" process in task manager.
3. When do Copy&Move operations, don't use Drag&Drop, try to use "Move To / Copy To" menu. (A known issue of Bridge, should be fixed in later versions)
Does the crash still happens?
Thanks very much!

Illustrator CS3 starts crashing on startup

I am using Adobe Illustator CS3, the Trial version. It worked earlier today, I could work with it flawlessly. Now, upon restarting the program, it crashes. I get the introduction yellow screen that mentions it loads several tools, but after that, the program doesn't start, it just disappears. I can try to reopen it, and it will show the same splash screen before vanishing again. I can also not find it in the processes in the task manager.
None of my system variables changed since it had been working earlier today.
I have Windows XP Service Pack 3, and meet all system requirements - it did, after all, already work.
The trial is not expired, I started using the program today.
Considering that the trial is still on-going, I would prefer to have this problem solved quickly.

I have a mid 2010 macbook pro 15" and recently it started crashing so I took it to my local Apple store to have it looked into and they told me its a graphics card issue requiring the replacement of the logic board at a cost to me of $340.

I took my laptop to my local Apple store to have the problem diagnosed and they told me the problem lies in the grpahics card which will require the replacement of the entire logic board at a cost to me of $340.
after that I did some research on the topic and found that this was a massive problem on this model of macbook pro and Apple never issued a recall to fix the issue, are there any class action suits in this category currently underway? if so how can I join?

I also have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15". Also, I had paid $100 for Apple Developer account and I can't even use Xcode or Unity3D to work on my game because the moment I write a line of code, my computer crashes. Scratch that, I used to have an Apple Developer account (I let it expire a couple of weeks ago). It hasn't been of much use since my Macbook Pro crashes 15 times a day.\
A month after buying a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15" directly from Apple, it began to crash. At first, I assumed it was my fault as I had been messing around with Bootcamp and doing other heavy stuff, but I quickly learned it would randomly decide to shutdown regardless of the task at hand. I was very busy at the time. I was a fledgling teacher in France, and I hardly had any time, or money, to put toward a 84 euro train ticket to Paris. Also, OS X updates were around the corner (Lion, Mountain Lion), so I held out, hoping the issue would be resolved with the updates.
During my investigation of the issue, I did find the TS4088 article. It recommended I install some updates, and then it described a problem that seemed similar to my own, but the order in which the problems occured, as described in the TS4088 article, did not follow the same pattern that my computer had been experiencing–there was no gray or black screen after the restart warning message when my mac crashed. The first time I found TS4088 on Apple's Support page (at a time when their product recalls were easier to locate before they redesigned their website), it was a couple of months after I had bought the computer. I reasoned that my Macbook Pro must not be suffering from the same issues as I had never seen the video freeze or go black before seeing a restart message. The restart warning message is the last thing I saw, no loss of video or black(or gray) screen afterwards. My computer would simply start to boot up again.
About two years after buying the computer, and suffering from about 3 GPU panics a day, I searched for the TS4088 article again, wondering if I had misread it, and that maybe the issues described in the article were the same issues I was experiencing. This time I could not find the TS4088 article on Apple's Website. I searched over and over again, but it was nowhere to be found. I assumed that issue had been resolved and the article removed. Now after three years of using a faulty, unreliable computer, I was feeling like a schmuck. I searched again on Apple's website to find the TS4088 article, or any new ones that outlined my very apparent GPU issues, but I had no luck. I circled Apple's website over and over and could not find that article. It was only through a link other frustrated mid-2010 Macbook Pro owners had posted on some other website that I found the link to TS4088, also learning that the forum's users were experiencing my same problems.
Based on the language Apple used to describe the problem, I did not reason that I was suffering the same issue. Here's what happens when my computer crashes:
     • The computer seems to shut down. The display turns off, the fans stop spinning
     • The message "Your computer was restarted because of a problem . . . Press any key to restart" is displayed.
     • I press any key, the computer restarts, I wait for next crash to interrupt my work
Excerpt from TS4088
"Symptoms
Apple has determined that a small number of MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) computers may intermittently freeze or stop displaying video on the built-in display or on an external display connected to the MacBook Pro. In this situation, you may also see a restart warning message before the video is lost or the display turns black or gray."
My computer never displays a restart message before the video is lost or display turns black. My Macbook Pro mid 2010 loses the picture on the display, and less than a second after that is the restart warning displayed. The video would never freeze or stop playing, rather the whole computer just dumped all of its processes and displayed a warning message asking me to press any key to restart.
My issues with this problem are the following:
•The problems described in TS4088 do not accurately reflect what users are experiencing. TS4088 is misleading in this respect.
•The article TS4088 was not easy to find on Apple's website. It seemed to have moved to an obscure, impossible-to-find location that could only be found thanks to the great number of other Mac users who are experiencing the same problem.
This issue hasn't been managed dutifully. I'm annoyed to have sunk money into a developer account. I'm annoyed that I sunk money into an expensive product that does not work. I'm annoyed that the description of the issue afflicting mid 2010 Macbook Pros was inaccurately and misleadingly described and that links to the TS4088 article disappeared from Apple's website when I could have truly benefitted from them. I am especially annoyed that my life in graphic design, web development, and iOS development has stagnated for several months as my computer crashes some 15 times a day. I am, however, pleased with the speed at which a Mac can boot up.

Any help for Audtion crashes. I have audition CC and recently it started crashing randomly

My Audition suite keeps crashing when transferring tracks from waveform to multitrack. any help is awesome.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the reply, So Im running on a MAC OS X Yosemite 2.7 Ghz intel core i5 8gb. When I try to manipulate the pitch shifter effect the program sometimes will stall and freeze, or it will not play sound or apply to affect until after I hit apply which defeats the purpose of listening while you edit. the system will crash when transitioning from waveform to multi track. these are the types o issues I have encountered.

Compatibility with Lightroom 1.1 and Bridge cs3

I have created several stacks in LR but when I open the folder in bridge, there are no stacks in the same folder. It is like their is no compatibility at all. Is this normal? I thought the advantage of having the latest of both programs is that they were compatible.

They are, but stacks aren't stored in the XMP data. You did write out the XMP data, didn't you?
These are not stored in the XMP data:

Bridge CS3 crashes with RAW folder, CS2 doesn't

I have this folder with all my recent RAW files, 319 shots. If I go to that folder with Bridge CS3, it crashes. I can however go to that folder with Bridge CS2 without it crashing, but I have to drag and drop the file to Photoshop CS3 to work on it. Clicking on the photo in Bridge CS2 just opens it in Preview.
I know it's not that big of a deal and I can still view/open my files with at least one of the version's of Bridge. It just frustrates me because I can't use the updated, and theoretically better, version of Bridge on my RAW files. I'm so used to being able to open up CS3, click on my file, and there it is open in Photoshop ready for me to do my edits.
I've tried toying around with preferences, and nothing works. I've tried dividing the files into sub folders, thinking it was the number of large files in one folder...worked for a while and eventually started crashing when I went to the folder that held the sub folders. Any suggestions as to what to do so I can use CS3.

Hey mine does this too, some one please help!

Photoshop CS3 started to crash on me ?

Hello.
I'm trying to figure out why my Photoshop CS3 and sometimes Bridge CS3 started to crash on me lately.
I did install a new ATI Radeon HD3870 card and new ram but it dosent look like thats the reason.
I say that because we have a second Mac Pro with the stock Radeon HD2600 and Photoshop CS3 also started to crash there sometimes.
It only happen sometimes. I did try to remember if i installed new Plug-ins.
I have the latest console crash.log file and i was wondering if anybody could translate it for me or check if it says anything helpful.
Hope to get a answer very soon because i use Photoshop in a daily work.
Computer specs: Photoshop CS3 & Bridge CS3 (Design Suite CS3) Mac Pro 8 Core 2.8Ghz with 14GB Ram, ATI Radeon HD3870, Mac Os X 10.5.6 (Before 10.5.4 with no crash ?)
Thank you so much.

File size different in Bridge CS3 and Photoshop

I'm using PS CS3 and Bridge CS3 on a Macbook Pro. I have about 40 files that are about 50MB when opened in PS. In Bridge, under the thumbnails, the file size is pretty close to that, sometimes the exact amount, sometimes off by a couple/few MBs. I've been told this is due to some compression "on the disk" by Bridge. All the files are PSDs, by the way, and they are all flattened.
What I don't understand is why just a *few* files that are 50MB in PS are showing up MUCH smaller in Bridge; e.g., 36MB. If it's due to compression, why would Bridge compress just a few files so much?
I'm wondering if this has to do with the cached thumbnails, and maybe the thumbnails aren't showing the latest version (with accurate size) of the file. I don't know much about the cache, and I'm afraid to "purge the cache" without knowing anything about it. Also, if it has to do with preferences, I'm don't really know about that, either.

Bridge does not compress any files whatsoever. Bridge is not an image editor, it's nothing but a browser that hands the files to their respective applications. Bridge does not "open" or "save" files, it can't compress them in any shape or form.
What you are seeing is the difference between the opened, uncompressed file in RAM and the space the file occupies on disk once
Photoshop has saved and compressed it.
The Bridge cache has nothing to do with any of this.

Adobe Bridge CS3 - Favorites Disappear

Every time I open Adobe Bridge CS3 I set up my favorites folder just the way I want them; but when I close the program down and reopen it, the favorites menu has been cleared.
I tried saving my work space; But this was to no avail.
The work space layout stayed in place but the favorites are still erase when I load the work space.
Also, if it helps to diagnose the problem, when I try to open the preferences Adobe Bridge CS3 immediately crashes.
I've tried deleting the cache folder & I've tried repairing Adobe with the install CD with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Stephen,
Great when things work again; funny how you can try something and it does not work the first time; then magically it does - the joys of software!
I often wonder what the preferences file in Bridge does for us, if we can clear it and not notice that we have lost any settings.
I hardly use Bridge since I moved to Lightroom, except to check that Bridge sees what Lightroom does. But I must say that I like its Metadata panel.
If neither Bridge nor Lightroom existed, I think that I could survive on Photoshop CS3 alone and manage files without either.
