Unable to open Bridge CS6 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 8

I have been using Bridge CS6 successfully until I installed Photoshop Elements 8 to use with a scanner I bought. After the installation, when clicking on Bridge CS6 it opens Bridge CS5. I had a look at some of the forums and tried Ctrl-clicking on Bridge CS6, but it still opens Bridge CS5. I have also re-installed Photoshop CS6 in the hope that this will fix it. Any suggestions as how to get Bridge CS6 going again will be appreciated!

Thanks for the replies. I was able to sort this myself after I watched the the following video on how to reset the Adobe preferences: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/ I did the manual reset where I moved only the preference file to another location e.g. the Desktop. I restarted my computer. Closed Bridge CS5 that was running in the background and then clicked on Bridge CS6 and the program opened. I decided to take a chance to see if this won't fix it and was elated when it worked. Don't ask my why, but it did the job!

Cannot open InDesign CS6 once installed?

Hi, I have just installed the trial of InDesign CS6 but it will not open after being installed. I have a Mac OS X version 10.4.11. Does this mean my Mac is too old to run this software? I got it in 2007...
Any help greatly appreciated!

The fact that I mentioned they already both have creative cloud cs6 installed and that I first mentioned I know how to save back IDML (but CC CS6 for Mac installs version 8, CC CS6 for Windows installs version 9). The issue is that the person that uses the mac finds these files occasionally when there is no access to a PC at the time to do the IDML export. What I am asking is:
1) Is there a quick way to locate just CS9 files by doing a file search either on Win8 or OSX 10.9? (so that as a last resort, yes I will save them as IDML, but I have thousands of InDesign files on the server storage and only a couple hundred may be ID9 files, the rest are all ID files from CS3)
2) Is there a way to set the default save version on the PC to be compatible with version 8 on OSX with the least amount of loss from downgrading the file?
3) Is there a trick for overriding the error on the MAC and forcing it to open the file?
4) are there plans to release InDesign 9 for OSX as a CS6 update in the near future?
Not trying to be rude, but I gathered the person did not actually read what I wrote before answering my questions and did not answer my questions, it looks like it was just a response to the subject line.

The direct download is here: Java for OS X 2014-001

Error Message when Opening Dreamweaver CS6

I am getting this error when I try and open Dreamweaver CS6 Adobe ...Adobe Dreamweaver CS6” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.. I am working on a week old MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. There have not been any previous installation of Dreamweaver since this is a new computer. Thanks for any help.

Murlean I would recommend you begin by checking for installation errors. Please see Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html which discusses how to locate and intrepret the installation log files.
If you are not seeing any particular errors then please remove Dreamweaver using the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers. I would then recommend download a fresh copy of the install files from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=dreamweaver.
Finally to confirm what version of Mac OS 10.8 are you using?

Unable to open Dreamweaver using OS X 10.9.2

I recently updated to Maverick OS 10.9.2 and am now unable to open Dreamweaver CS5 11.0--an error message appears saying that Dreamweaver closed unexpectedly. I've also tried installing Dreamweaver updates but I'm not able to.

Please try to clean your DW CS5 preferences by following the steps mentioned below:
Open “Finder” and press CMD+SHIFT+G to open the “Go to the folder” dialog
Type ‘~/Library’ (without the quotes; note the ~ sign before /Library) and click “Go”
Navigate to “Application Support/Adobe/”
Locate the folder named “Dreamweaver CS5” and make a backup of this folder (this will be needed to restore vital preferences later)
Rename/Delete the folder “Dreamweaver CS5” (again without the quotes)
Create a new folder named “Dreamweaver CS5” (again without the quotes)
Create a new folder named “ab_XY” (without the quotes; for example: en_US; you can get this in your backup folder! where ab_XY is the locale in which Dreamweaver was installed)
Navigate inside the folder “ab_XY” and create a new folder named “Configuration” (without the quotes)
Navigate inside the folder “Configuration”
From the backup folder, copy the following folders (if available/present on your system) and paste them inside the “Configuration” folder (please the attached screen shot “Restore_Selected_Preferences_CS5_Mac.png” for reference):
CodeCollapse
CodeColoring
CodeHints
DocumentTypes
DVADialogPrefs
Snippets
Workspace
Open “Finder” and press CMD+SHIFT+G to open the “Go to the folder” dialog
Type ‘~/Library’ (without the quotes; note the ~ sign before /Library) and click “Go”
Navigate to “Preferences/” folder
Locate the file “Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs” and rename/delete the file
Now try to launch Dreamweaver again and see if you still face the issue.
Please Note: After you have launched Dreamweaver, please ensure that you DO NOT launch “Adobe BrowserLab” panel. Please create a new workspace by following the steps mentioned below, according to your liking but please refrain from using “Adobe BrowserLab” panel as this is known to cause a crash in Dreamweaver on Mac 10.9.
Steps to create a workspace (without “Adobe Browser Lab”):
Launch Dreamweaver
Locate “Adobe BrowserLab” (but don’t open it) and click the top-right-hand-side corner of the panel and select the option “Close Tab Group”
Now, arrange the remaining panels in your workspace as per your liking
Go to menu “Window -> Workspace Layout -> New Workspace…”
In the “New Workspace” dialog, provide a name of your choice and click “OK” button
Also, you may like to visit this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/dreamweaver-java-se-6-runtime.html for a known issue of Dreamweaver not launching after upgrading to Mac 10.9 (Mavericks).

Yosemite and unable to open Illustrator CS6

Hi
Since changing to Yosemite I am unable to open Illustrator CS6 and I get the following message:
"To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime."
I have followed the link and downloaded "Java for OS X 2014-001" as instructed but doing this does not change anything and I am still unable to open Illustrator.
Can anyone help me and explain to me what I need to do to be able to use Illlustrator again!
Thank you very much.

Teresa, biuzalel,
You should be able to get round the issue altogether without the legacy version (and its security implications), by following this:

It is even more thoroughly described in this thread, see post #3 on by gator soup:

Photoshopcs6 mac 0sx10.9 unable to open NEF files, already installed camera raw DNG converter 8.6

just installed photoshopcs6 running mac 0xs10.9 , installed DNG converter camera converter8.6 and still unable to open NEF files

Which nikon camera are the nef files from?
If you go to Photoshop>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to the camera raw 8.6 plugin?
(then you shouldn't have to use the dng converter, unless your nikon is a very new model)

Vanja I am sorry then are you trying to install CS6 through the Creative Cloud Desktop application? That error typically occurs when trying to install the Creative Cloud Desktop application.
Have you tried downloading and installing from Download CS6 products.

It seems that some versions of Mac OS X don't have Tahoma and Verdana fonts enabled, which prevents Dreamweaver CC from launching correctly. See http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/troubleshoot-crash-dreamweaver-cc.html for details of what you need to do.

Unable to open Illustrator CS6 in Mac OS X Yoesemite

Hope somebody an help me here, every time I try to open Illustrator CS6 it will open almost to the point of being able to open a file but then closes and tells me there "Adobe Illustrator quit unexpectedly" It used o open no problem in an older version of Mac OS and I have no problems opening Photoshop CS6. Does anyone know what is going on with this? The bizarre thing is it will open if I go through Finder, Apps, Illustrator, Show package contents, Contents, Mac OS, Adobe Illustrator it opens fine, it's just a pain in the rear to go that route.
Thanks
