Uninstall Bridge CS3

I have both Bridge CS3 and CS4 installed on my system. Neither of them show up in my list of programs from the Control Panel Programs and Features. I want to uninstall CS3. How do I do that?

You might check out CS3 clean scripts. It is supposed to remove remnant program in CS3 and fix registry problems. Look for info in Knowledgebase search.

Why is my iPhone no longer able to communicate with adobe bridge cs3?

We have 2 iphone 4's that I have been able to download photos from and into my imac for the last year while using the adobe bridge cs3. Recently, it began giving me an error meassage: " Adobe bridge cs3 cannot obtain files from this device. Please ensure that the device is connected properly,or that the battery is charged, adn try again".
I did both and that message still pops up. My usb ports are working fine as well as the usb cords(as far as I know of) and the batteries are fully charged when I do so. So what is the deal here??? If anyone can please help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!!!

Maro,
I'm running VISTA on my PC. None of the suggestions solved the problem. I uninstalled iTunes removing all suggested files from another post and reinstalled iTunes 11.1.3 and removed the iTunes Ibarra from my iPhone Remote. I restarted the computer, iPhone & router. I added the iTunes library to my iPhone remote. I didn't get an icon on the menu bar of the iTunes on the PC but a dialog came up asking for the code which was on my phone. I typed in the code and the library showed up on my iPhone Remote. I selected it and got an error message that it couldn't connect. This is extremely weird and frustrating. What should I do now?

Unable to Open Images in Bridge CS3 and Continuing Icon issues!

Re: Icon issues in Bridge CS3 and also with Photo Downloader that have never been there before.
So, these are the issues. Just one of the folders that previously would show thumbnails now only shows DNG icons, and none will open in Photoshop to let me work on previous image. Issue #2 - can't download images with Photo Downloaders - both my wife's Canon G9 only shows CR2 icons, and my Nikon D300 only shows NEF icons - neither of these issues had appeared before or been an issue. Third issue. None of my Bridge folders - even those with regular thumbnail immages- will open now - get a message that says words to the effect of Photoshop doesn't recognize this type of file. Computer is a Mac, with OS 10.5.8
I recently tried to make more room on HD, so must have taken some critical files/commands out by accident.
Thanks for your time and previous suggestions - still not working. I'm sure that in trying to correct things have made things even worse- as may be noticed by the two snapshots I've attached. The first is one from a library from my user section. The second library image is from my hard drive. Hopefully you and others aren't laughing or crying too much over what you see - redundantcy, etc! All of my energies have focused on taking photos, obviously none to proper setup/use of organizing things on my Mac. But after the laughing has stopped, any help will be tremendously appreciated - am most anxious to getting back to working with and saving images.

Thanks in advance

First of all, if you don't know much about how applications work inside of the OS, its wise to not look in the application folder(s). Deleting anything here can make your apps go haywire. If this happened, then you are best to 1)unregister photoshop, 2) uninstall your entire suite. 3) reinstall the suite and finally 4) reregister photoshop.
All images/textures/photo's including dng, cr2 and nef files need to be stored in your pictures folder and no where else, unless you're an intermediate user on your OS. In your pictures folder you can create folders for organizing the pictures whether by location, season's, time, or file format.
Then when you back up you can just drag a copy of the files to another drive including cd's or dvd's.
This will make sure you don't accidently delete important app files.
All this said, my OS of choice is Windows, so if anything does not sound right, thats why.
Hopefully this helps...

Bridge CS3 crash

One of my Macs (G5 Power Mac, 10.4.11, CS3) crashes when browsing certain folders on my Xserve (2009 Xserve, 10.5 Server, Nehalem proc, AFP connections, active directory). One consistency is that it always crashes when browsing to folders containing EPS files, sometimes PDF or TIF files as well.
It looks like the error related to Classes being implemented in multiple locations could be at fault. I may try disabling them in one location to see if it works.
Here is the log when launching Bridge:

Ramon what i just did was uninstall Photoshop cs3 and reinstalled it, then installed the updates for both bridge and photoshop, photoshop works fine but when you launch bridge the icon in the doc starts bouncing and then it stops, so know i cant even get bridge to launch, it doesnt even open to the point where i get a crash report, any ideas?

Bridge CS3 "Open in Camera Raw" unavailable (grayed out)

I am using Bridge CS3 (2.0.0.975; and Photoshop CS3) under Vista Home Premium. I have two accounts on this system (one administrative "root," and my primary limited user account).
My problem: under my primary account (even if I switch it to administrative), unless I open raw files with ACR, I cannot access "Open in Camera Raw..." under the file menu (as it is grayed out and inaccessible while trying to open jpg files, etc.). However, using the administrative account I can access/use the command. I tried uninstalling CS3, switching my primary to administrative and reinstalling using my primary account, but it still appears grayed out and I still cannot open files using the abbrev "Ctrl+R." Note, I can open jpg files in ACR, but this must be the default for all jpg files not ones that I select to open.
Also, under preferences>Labels, I need to uncheck the "Require the Control Key to Apply Labels and Ratings" every time Bridge is restarted as it will not save from startup to startup. Any help is appreciated. --Greg

There are 3 places to check this option, 1 in Bridge preferences itself, 1 in the camera raw preferences via Bridge and the last one in the PS preferences from PSCS3 itself.
They all should have a checkmark. But there are some issues with this option. You might also want to refresh the preferences with restarting Bridge an holding down option key and after doing so again check and set the prefs to your wishes.

Bridge CS3 no longer renders RAW thumbnails

Running PSE9 on OS 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. Also running Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9 that I believe came bundled with PSE4 and which I have become fond of using as a tool for importing photos and other steps early in my workflow. I shoot almost exclusively in RAW and sometimes in RAW/JPEG. Recently, having made no change that I can remember, Bridge is no longer able to render thumbnails of the RAW files, instead showing just a thumbnail of a white sheet with the corner turned down; JPEG thumbnails render just fine.
I would be extremely grateful for anyone that can help me get the RAW thumbnails working again. I suspect some anciliary file outside of the main program package since Adobe is so fond of sprinking useful files all over the place if that rings any bells.
I have tried to find a standalone Bridge CS3 installer on the web that I might use to re-write whatever is missing but I cannot find it. It's an unusual request but if anyone would lend theirs to me I would also be grateful.
Thank you in advance.

Turns out my sister is more a packrat than me and she still had her original PSE6 disk, which was also bundled with Bridge CS3. Uninstalled/deleted 9 and Bridge and removed every trace of them and prior versions I could find (e.g Library files) to a flash drive. Installed 6 along with Bridge and all seems to be back to normal.
Hopefully everything else still works right and I won't have to try-and-err putting Library files back one-by-one or something. Once it feels like all is stable I'll be putting in my upgrades to PSE9.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Problems with Bridge CS3 crash freeze and burn

Hi,
I am running Bridge CS3 version 2.1. 100 on a MacBook Pro 3
Intel Core Duo
2.4 GHz, 2GB ram
I am having some serious Bridge issues. My problems have ranged from it just being very sluggish and slow to Bridge not applying a label to random crashes.
So far today here are the issues:
"Operation Cannot be completed, an unknown OS error has occurred"
"EventHandler:2976"
Will not apply a label when using the command key or from the tool bar menu
Not responding when quitting from icon in the dock
freezes when renaming a file
unexpectedly quit while cropping an image in PS CS3
Things I have tried to resolve this:
shift-alt-command and reset all preferences and purged cache
changing the thumbnails preferences to only process 50mb or smaller files
create small thumbnails
(as a former pc user) I have restarted multiple times...
Things I have not tried:
rebuilding OS
uninstall reinstall
throwing laptop in bathtub
The files I am working on range in size from 4 mb up to 400 mb .psd files
Any ideas?

I can't use Bridge CS3 anymore. It freezes on my screen and the only way to close it is with task manager. Had problems with it the first time I loaded it...a full version of CS3, no upgrade. Spoke with 2 Adobe technicians who tried to help, but being a believer in Murphy's Laws I decided to bypass their suggestions which I had already tried.
The best viewer alternatives to Bridge are:
-Fast Stone Image Viewer is shareware and handles .psd files along with RAW, TIFF, JPG, etc. Go to their site an look for yourself. It was so good I sent them the suggested contribution. Adobe could learn a lot from them.
-Use Adobe Lightroom as a viewer and to do preliminary editing before launching the file into CS3. Adobe got it right in Lightroom...how come not in bridge CS3?
-Nikon View NX is good but doesn't show .psd files.
Nikon's Capture NX is a reasonable alternative to CS3 if you get fed up with Adobe. Or go back to PS Elements!
Finally, some lecturing Photoshop gurus have called Bridge "JUNK...you get what you pay for." Correct.
Benefits of JUNK sofware is that you explore alternatives and can be surprised at what's available out there.
Conclusion: Bridge CS3 is meant to be a "bridge" to many PS products, but for me it's a "bridge to nowhere." Make it simple, guys.

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.

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

Slow Bridge CS3

No matter what I do, Bridge CS3 runs slowly. Selecting multiple items take a almost 4 seconds each one I click on, with the usual result of them all opening in Camera RAW before I am ready.
I have made countless calls to customer support, reset preferences, clear edcaches, been told I shouldn't have so many images in a folder even though this is supposedly a professional application (I currently have 64 Nikon NEF files, about 10 MB each in a folder), been told to uninstall & reinstall Bridge & CS3 (which I just did), reinstall system (ditto), among others.
The only way to make it run a little faster is to create a new folder each time, drop the images into it, and work as quickly as I can before it slows to a crawl.
To add insult to injury, I am now trying to create a sub keyword (a keyword under a keyword) as I have done hundreds of times. I can create on called Connecticut, but if I try to create one called Westport, Connecticut, it fails to be created. Just plain Westport works, however.
And, if I open multiple images in the Camera Raw (4.4.1) window, make adjustment to them, then, with only one selected, click option and cancel (reset), I cannot just reset one images as I could do before. I now get a new window saying "Reset all changes, including changes to non-selected images" No/Yes. Where did this come from?
I am out of ideas.
I am using Bridge 2.1.1.9, on a G5 quad, running OS 10.4.11, 8.5 GB of RAM.
Thanks,
R

As stated before, delete the cache file and after restart you would have the same folder with Bridge Store (but it should contain 31 visible document files, the "FileSystem_Blobs.MYD" is the largest one and can grow up to 16 GB followed by "FileSystem_Nodes.MYD" with several MB's the rest of the folder is very small, 2 with several 100 KB and the rest with 28, 16, 12 4 and even zero KB in size)
The mysql folder should contain 45 document files each at a small size.
If you can't see the contents you should surely delete it to create a new one with a restart of Bridge.
I'm not sure where the distributed cache (which in my opinion is a preferred setting!) is written to besides in the xmp file (or with DNG in the file itself) but deleting the cache as described does keep all the metadata and ACR settings unchanged.
Also deleting of the ACR cache does not change the earlier changed settings.
It's just a good way to a fresh start :-)

Why does Bridge CS3 just cease to work?

Hi there.
As of today, I started having trouble with Bridge CS3. Out of the blue, Bridge just cannot be launched anymore. I have 10.6.2 running and it all worked well, I changed nothing and just like that, whenever I try to start the application - nothing. Just an error notification that asks me whether I want to report the crash or ignore it. The crazy thing is that everything else works just fine, only Bridge just doesn't wanna play with me.
I uninstalled the whole CS3 Design Standard, did a reboot, installed the whole package again - without any change. Bridge just keeps crashing on startup.
Does anyone else have this kinda problem? What could I do/try?

If you already have to recache the files here is a workaround to have a
fresh start (but not guaranteed to work since it does in a new user it might
also mean corruption in your current user account).
First of all start disk utility for apple and check and repair permissions
if you already have not done so. ( you should do this anyway or use a
maintenance application like Cocktail to automate this on a daily base).
Quit Bridge and in your default user (the one with the problems) go to the
user library and manual delete the Bridge2.plist file from the preference
folder to the trash.
In the same library go to Caches-Adobe-Bridge CS3 and inhere grab both files
and drag them to the trash (or for back up to a folder outside the library).
Both plist and cache file will renew it self after you restarted Bridge.
Also hold down option key while restarting Bridge after having deleted the
mentioned files and choose reset preferences.
Set Bridge prefs and interface to your own wishes and try again.
Should I try copying any files from one user's library to mine? Or is a
complete reinstall (witch I already tried as a first guess) the only solution?
Again, thanks for your patience and help!

Uninstall Bridge CC

As Bridge CC was installing, I found the options button on the CC manager to change the default installation into a folder instead of loose into Applications. Now I would like to do a proper uninstall/reinstall before installing the other applications from Creative Cloud because I want Bridge to be in the same folder with the others, but don't see how to uninstall. ~ Jane Mountain Lion

THere should be an uninstall program option in the Win OS, not sure where it is in Mac OS…
There are no uninstallers at the OS level on the Mac.
Adobe, however, has been installing Uninstallers as part of the default Photoshop installation in recent versions. Up until Photoshop CS3, the Adobe Photoshop Uninstaller was installed only in the Applications/Utilities folder. As of CS4, an alias of the Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS4 application is installed inside the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4 folder. It's still in the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6 folder.
Up until the CS6 Perpetual License release, there was no Bridge uninstaller. You have to uninstall Photoshop in order to uninstall Bridge.
I have no clue what happens in the Cash Cow subscription model, though. Just though you'd find this interesting. :-p

It's not the "root" drive but the BOOT drive on a Mac, usually called "Macintosh HD" unless and until the user re-names it.

Install Bridge (CS3) without installing Photoshop?

We use Bridge (with CS3) to work with the metadata for batches of photographs. Problem is, we don't always want to install Photoshop on the workstation. We've tried to merely copy the Bridge (we have a few licenses) to the Applications folder, but it's not without a few problems.
So my question is, is there a way to install and use Bridge without having to install Photoshop itself?
Marty Martino
[email protected]

Two thoughts immediately come to mind:
• Bridge started out as—and to a great extent still remains—nothing other than Photoshop's Browser. It has changed only its name. Personally, I knpw of no way of installing Bridge without installing Photoshop. Conversely, I know of no way of uninstalling Photoshop harmlessly without also uninstalling Bridge in the process.
• It's absolutely hilarious to read that anybody would ever want to install Bridge CS3 all by itself, as Bridge 2.x in CS3 was probably the worst piece of software ever released by Adobe or by any major software development company. Now, Bridge 3.x and 4.x in CS4 and CS5 respectively I might buy, but Bridge in CS3?
Please!

I can still work in the programme ok and move the windows error aside, I would like to fix the problem, Tried to debug but the programme just closes.
I use windows xp pro with all the latest updates that are available.
have any others experienced this problem and how to fix it.
Thanking you in advance.

Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.
I recently completely removed, deactivated and reinstalled all my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Master Collection to solve some problems with other application from the suite and now I'm surprise Bridge continues to fail. In my portable workstation the same software (Bridge) uses to work.
I tried launching Bridge under several compatibility modes. All failed.
Is there any know bug I should be aware of? Any fix?
Is this a common problem?

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.

Bridge CS3 Workspace Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery Creator

A while back I was looking around for an easy way to create sharp looking image galleries with minimal work, and I came across a workspace plug in for Bridge Cs3. If I remember correctly, it was labeled Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery something or another. Anyway, I recently formatted my computer and reinstalled everything, but for the life of me I can find no trace of that handy workspace plug in. Does anyone know where I can find it? It had a bunch of customizable flash galleries as well as a customizable html gallery as well. Any help would be appreciated!

Do you mean AMG( Adobe Media Gallery)? You could download from LAB.
