The 'Find Criteria' in Bridge no longer finds my keywords.

RE: CS5
Operating System: OS X 10.9.4
I recently tried to use my Adobe Bridge 'Find Criteria' and it is not locating any files that have been tagged with keywords.  The keywords assigned to the files are still there when I click on the file.  However, when I do a FIND>Criteria>Results Match: If all criteria are met OR If any criteria are met - nothing works.  'NO ITEMS TO DISPLAY' comes up.
Note - If I go into a file folder after and open all subfolders associated with the main folder and then I do a FIND>Criteria it then locates those items that I opened each file individually.  These files will then be located in any search BUT not unless I go manually and open all files related.
Also, none of the Smart Collections worked either.  So I deleted them.  This was before I realized I had a much bigger problem.
FIND does not seem to locate anything unless, I physically go into all my files and open each one.  This would be extremely time consuming and not a solution.  Somehow something is disabling or something else? I can't seem to find any solution.
I've also gone into Cache and emptied anything related.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Should this ever happen to you, finally I think I've resolved the problem. 
Recently, when I was repairing another problem with my operating system (Maverick 10.9.4) I believe I must have deleted or destroyed 'my previews' of keywords associated with a number of specific files.  So when I tried to Filter or use 'Find' in Bridge CS5 none of my files would come up.   The keywords were still there but the previews or filter wouldn't display any.
FYI, last week I was on the phone with Apple because my 'Finder' was extremely slooooww, it was taking 10-12 seconds to open.  They guided me through repairing and cleaning up to the point that the Finder opened up again within seconds.  It is at this time that I think we must have Cached all the previews and somehow deleted far to much.  Anyway, now I now there is a VERY SIMPLE solution.
Here is what I did:
In Bridge, browse to your main folder or folders and go up to Tools>Cache>Build & Export Cache and check it to build 100% previews.  Let it re-build the previews.  This can take awhile depending on how many folders and files etc...
What I think happened is that when I reset my preferences, cleaned out my Cache etc...the program had to REBUILD the previews and now everything works fine again.  SO IT SEEMS that if previews aren't built, it has problems with showing filter results.
I think this would happen when going to a newer version of Bridge too.  I did read on another Forum that when someone went from CS3 to CS4 the same thing happened to them.  It is on that thread that I found my solution too!

  • I purchased a song in the past and now I am trying to buy the album but I can no longer find the album.

    i Purchased Aaliyah -rock the boat a while back and now I can no longer find that album in iTunes along with some other good songs by her. The name of the album is Aaliyah

    It's possible that the rights-holder has removed the album, and her other albums, from your country's store. Is the album available on other music download purchase sites that you have access to ? Or is the CD available ?

  • I purchased Puss In Boots from the iTunes store and can no longer find it in iCloud

    I purchased this movie several months ago and up until today have been able to watch it in iCloud.  I no longer find the movie in iCloud or anywhere in the iTunes store.  How do I get the movie I paid for?

    "Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store."
    When I wrote "that can't be right" I wasn't referring to the link you provided, I was referring to the line from your post that I quoted aka...
    Do not rely upon Apple keeping anything...The re-downloading feature is an unreliable bonus, not a storage service.
    While this thread (mostly because of me) now somewhat conflates purchases made on a computer via the iTunes Store and purchases made from the iTunes Store via an AppleTV, I am referring to AppleTV purchases, and I stand by my assertion.
    My point was - and I'll state it again more clearly - is that the entire purpose of the AppleTV product is that you do NOT store your purchases separately, that they are available for STREAMING at your whim.  Apple does not need to explicitly state this.  It is inherent in the product they sell.  AppleTV is a media streaming product.  And, in fact, their own press supports my assertion:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/inside-itunes/2012/03/movies-now-available-on-icloud .html
    "Movies have joined music, TV shows, books, and apps in iCloud, which means that iTunes movies are as easily re-watchable as your DVD...iTunes stores your movies in iCloud, and they can be downloaded again to your various devices at any time...Movies are stored in iCloud, no hard drive required."
    Apple specficially states the movies can be "downloaded again at any time" -- and "no hard drive required".  This online storage is not a "separate bonus" -- it is part of the deal.  It is a separate matter (and irrelevant to my point) whether one can TRUST Apple to always be there providing that streaming service or whether it would be prudent to back-up any movies one downloads.
    My point was how the product AppleTV is supposed to function.
    Have a good one. 

  • This has got to be the worst 'Finder' in the history of the Mac. You can no longer find the file you are looking for without a painstaking search.

    No longer easy to use. No longer logical. You now have to trawl through all the files just in case you missed what youi were looking for. Simple alphabetical order is all that is required not this over engineered confusion.

    Clicking on the "name" column in any Finder list view will sort by name. Also, make sure you're not looking at the "All My Files" shortcut which is (in my opinion) confusing to many people and doesn't tell you where the files actually live.

  • HT204387 I just updated my Iphone 4S to the new IOS. I have a sync sytem in my car that allows me to connect music and cell phone call through the vehicle. Since the update my phone is no longer finding the sync sytem to connect to.

    I just updated my iphone 4s to the new ios update. My car is a sync system that connects through bluetooth. I go to my bluetooth setting to search for devices and it wont find any. I believed it to be that my car that was the problem; but my sister has the same update on her iphone and was able to connect to my car no problem. please help!!!

    Hello 6underwood,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
    If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Bridge 4.0.5.11 is no longer finding when I do a keyword serarch

    bridge 4.0.5.11 is no longer finding keyword in my search

    Hi. After an afternoon of getting super pissed, i finally figured it out. I'm on a mac, Yosemite, cc 2014.  I downloaded the zipfile and unzipped and copied the one folder into the correct library ( I checked, twice.) and put a copy of the .workspace file intot he workspace folder.  however, I was copying the WRONG FOLDER.  I was putting the first folder called:  AOM_Mac into the Macintosh HD ▸ Library ▸ Application Support ▸ Adobe ▸ Bridge CC Extensions, and the correct folder is INSIDE that. the one that they do indeed say to move, called Adobe Output Module.
    That's what I get for skimming and trying to get it done fast.. pfft.. deadlines...
    Anyway, I got stuck on thinking i had the wrong folder locations, etc.. but here i had the wrong folder.
    Hope this helps at least one other person.  Good luck!

    Finally found the problem and it's probably more simple than i previously thought. Although resetting the SMC, cold start and etc is probybly not such a bad idea any on an older machine to clean away the dust! it doesn't actually solve the problem we're discussing.You need to check which programs could be using, blocking or have changed isight priorities. After checking all programs i've installed since i can last remember using my camera I found i'd overlooked Airparrot. I'm afraid that if you install Airparrot then you'll likely lose iSight functions. Airparrot blocks video functions. Great eh.You need to completely uninstall it, drivers and all. Simply using the Airparrot uninstall tool didn't do the job for me. Airparrot's uninstall tool has a delete drivers button but it didn't work. I needed to use Terminal to delete the drivers.
    If you havn't used the Terminal before then maybe you should read up first but you'll need to set a password to use the sudo actions. If you don't have one you can set a temporary one and set it back to blank again if you're not into using passwords for home use. Here are a couple of links that will explain everything:

  • How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is "unable to find the original file?" I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.

    How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is “unable to find the original file?” I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.

    Backup drive?
    Subscribe to iTunes Match?
    If neither of the above and you don't have the CD and can't find your tracks on the computer then they you're stuck.  A file recovery utility will cost $100, plus another $100 for an external drive to which to resue the files, and may not even work.  You can buy a lot of CDs for $200.

  • I just upgraded to Mavarick.  I can no longer find my mailboxes in my e-mail.  I read to go to 'finder'/ go go to folder the type in ~/Library which I did and I eventually found all my mailboxes.  But I want them to be available from my e-mail.  How ?

    I'll be spending time searching for an alternative ISP instead. Absolutely sick of this.

  • Since the last update my iphone 5 can no longer find my devices.

    Since I last updated my iphone 5 iOS to 6.1.3, airplay on my panasonic HC-57 dock has stopped working. So has my wireless HP photosmart C4380 printer ePrinter app. The iphone can no longer find either of them. I have tried rebooting. I have tried re-loading the drivers and apps. I have tried everything. Before they worked perfectly. I could play music and print whatever I wanted. I have just tried updating to iOS 6.1.4 and this has made no difference either.#
    What is more, I have purchased the iphone 5 30-pin to lightning adaptor from the Apple store, and it wont let me play music on my panasonic dock through I direct connection either. It only allows charging.
    Please find a solution as this  change in software by Apple has rendered my new panasonic dock and printer useless.

    For Starters this a user forum no Apple response to complaints on here
    I suggest you start by restoring with a back up and if that fails restore as new
    especially if you updated over the air rather than iTunes
    A restore will install a fresh iOS 6.1.3 rather than a patch update

    Hi,
    don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
    You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

  • I subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music

    i subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music - i think it keeps trying to find on the external harddrive where i used to keep my music

    Of course iTunes is looking for the music on the external HDD. Enabling iTunes Match does not magically change the location of the iTunes library to the cloud.
    To play the music either plug the external HDD back into your computer or create a new, empty library to use for streaming the iTM content. The latter can be accomplished by holding down the Option key when launching iTunes, choosing "create library" then enabling iTunes Match on the new library. DO NOT have iTunes scan your HDD for music.
