Uninstall Bridge CS5?

I feel really stupid, but is there any way to uninstall Bridge from CS5 Master Collection? I've looked everywhere in the Programs and Features module in Windows 7. I've tried Googling it to no success. I've easily uninstalled previous Bridges with no problems, but removing Bridge CS5 is driving me insane!
Is there a way to do this, or is Adobe just forcing more bloat on me?

Bridge is, and never was, a seperate program. It comes bundled with PhotoShop. So no, you can not uninstall it seperately.

Uninstall Bridge CS5.1 or Photoshop CS5 w Bridge in Windows

How can I uninstall Bridge CS5.1? I have tried to uninstall it everyway I know and all I get are error messanges stating that I cannot uninstall bridge or Photoshop CS5 because I get the error message that the file is open in another application and so cannot be deleted! I closed everything and still cannot delete or uninstall either program. I have tried renaming it etc.... I have even tried using administrator override and still cannot delete it. Any help would be appreciated.

That is absolutely NOT the case. All Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS. They will always install the full version without regard to any previous version(s) you may or may not have on your disk. They do not build on older components, they install the entire new version from scratch. They leave older versions completely untouched.
The only thing they do in regards to an older version—whether that older version is activated or not—is to read the older serial number. If they find no prior versions on disk, they will simply prompt you for the old serial number as well as the nwew one.

How can I uninstall Bridge CS5 after purchasing Bridge CS6

Hi,
I have downloaded photoshop CS5 trial. It came with Bridge CS5.1. Now, I have subscribed to Adobe Cloud with Photoshop and bridge CS6. But I still have Bridge CS5.1. How can I uninstall it please ?

You need to uninstall PS CS5.1 and then reinstall CS6 to fix file associations.

Adobe Bridge CS5 and CS6 need to uninstall

I have Adobe Bridge CS5 and CS6 that I need to uninstall off my mac I do not have Adobe Uninstall in the Utilities folder. Question how do I uninstall the applications

Question how do I uninstall the applications
CS6 uninstall is in the folder of Photoshop itself in the applications folder, I suspect CS5 also has this but can't check myself.

Bridge CS5 won't open at all, crashes immediately

Hi you guys,
I have been using Photoshop CS5 for a number of months now, without any problems. Yesterday, just suddenly, Bridge just bombed out. And I mean it crashes completely, not even a spinning ball or a 'stop responding', it just disappears from the screen. The first time the crash generated an Apple Crash Report, as well as an Adobe one. After that, when I click on the Bridge icon, it bounces, no dot appears on the dock under the icon and after a while the icon stops bouncing and another Apple Crash Report gets generated. It does not generate an Adobe crash report because, I suspect, the program does not go far enough.
I have tried the following:
Option clicked the B Icon - straight to Apple crash report.
Open B in PS, PS works perfectly and stays operational, but B generates an Apple crash report. I also tried mini B, the dock opens with message "waiting for Bridge", and nothing further happens.
Checked permissions in my Library for the following, all well:
Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS5
Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS5
com.adobe.bridge4.plist file
Verified and repaired permissions in DU, just in case. No luck.
Created a new user account and tried to open B - straight to Apple crash report.
Deleted the PLIST file and the items in Cashes (as suggested in another tread) - straight to Apple crash report.
I have not yet tried a reinstall. I upgraded to CS5 from CS3 and I still have it sitting on my hard drive. In a previous thread I asked what to do with CS3 and the consensus was to leave well alone. Everything worked and I did not need the disk space. In fact, Bridge CS3 still opens without a problem. If a reinstall is necessary, how do I go about it then? Do I
deregister CS3 and CS5 and uninstall and reinstall the whole lot?
deregister and uninstall and reinstall CS5 only?
don't deregister and just reinstall the whole lot without uninstalling it first?
don't deregister and just reinstall CS5 only without uninstalling it first?
And if I have to uninstall, do I have to run one or all of the cleanup utilities of Adobe?
I have also not contacted Adobe help because I have an American copy of Photoshop and live in Europe. That disqualifies me from Adobe support.
Here is my system:
iMac 5 with 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Mac OS X 10.6.6
Adobe CS5 12.0.2
Bridge CS5 4.0.4.2
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
Thanks for your time and trouble. Much appreciated.
I haven't been back because my iMac went from bad to worse and in the end I've had a complete system crash. The 2007 iMac G5 I have, is notorius for screen problems. Mine went pop in 2009 after only 18 months of use and was replaced by Apple after a war of words and overwhelming evidence of similar problems for that model on the internet. During that episode the machine was shut down with the power button several times, by me, by the shop and also by the technicians who had to diagnose and repair the computer (I have often wondered why Apple does not have an equivalent of the 'Windows' button, because via that it's easy to shut down a PC blind: Windows button>U>Return . . . the OS shuts down. Not clever of a company who regards themselves as 'Quality' with a self proclaimed capital Q). I suspect my computer picked up some hardware damage with the constant hard shutdowns. I was actually waiting for the next problem, I never really trusted the machine completely. But, as time passed, I got relaxed about it and did not notice the small signs developing like Bridge (and to a lesser extent, Photoshop) actually slowing down more and more the last couple of weeks. Now, in retrospect I can say that, but it was really very subtle. I did, after the screen episode, got into a routine of backing up my system regularly.
After the Bridge problem began, I tried a re-install, a Time Machine restore and eventually started fiddling with Disk Utility, trying to fix the hard drive. To make a long story short, all I get now when I power up the machine is a white screen with a spinning disk under the Apple emblem. I do know that the internal hard drive had issues because that was reported by Disk Utility, I still do not know what the damage is because I still have to take the machine in for repairs.
In the meantime, I am working on another iMac. I have installed all my software from scratch and I'm now trying to restore my old system - my PS actions, ACR actions, all my mails and other documents and my music. The problem I now have is that I had my user account encrypted with File Vault, while backing up with Time Machine. To everyone doing that, please don't - turn File Vault off and then back up. All my carefully backed-up files are now encrypted and can only be accessed with my broken computer! I can NOT restore my system to another computer! With older versions of Mac OS X (and, probably Time Machine), it's possible to use Finder to navigate to the encrypted back-up folder, double-click it and access your data with your master password and restore it by simply dragging and dropping the files on the new computer (but under no circumstances delete or change the back-up files in any way! And applications would, most probably not drag and drop without a problem, but there I stand to be corrected). With OS X 10.6 it is not possible any more to access data via Finder in that way. I know, because I can access my data up to end 2009, the rest is there but not accessible. I have searched everywhere on the internet and as yet, have not found a solution.
The other problem with Apple, I found out, is that in normal operations, it works so well and all is so easy that I don't really read any instructions. There is no need. Everything just happens, it's actually too intuitive. Not once, while setting up File Vault or Time Machine, was I warned that it might be a problem. Now, when I poke around on the internet, there are many posts that warn against that but I did not search for them because I had no clue! I just hope, after the faulty parts on my G5 is replaced, I can get into my back-ups. I shall keep searching and trying to find a solution. If I get one, I shall post here again for those of you with similar problems. I know this is no longer a Bridge or Adobe problem, I just thought I must report back, maybe the knowledge will help someone else.
Cheers,
Jay

Bridge CS5 Windows crashes when I command/move or drag/drop files internally

Bridge CS5 crashes with a Microsoft "report error" dialog whenever I drag images from one folder to another inside of Bridge, or use the right-click "Move To . . ." mouse command. After months of successful use of the Bridge CS5, this behavior suddenly began. Unfortunately, I can't now remember whether I did anything to my Windows environment at that time. Bridge does not have trouble with dragging or command/moving files into Photoshop, but dragging image files (jpg) from a search screen or the Windows Explorer can also end in a crash.
I'm running Windows XP SP3 32-bit on a 4-processor machine with adequate ram and lots of hard drive/scratch drive. I deinstalled every trace of Bridge and reinstalled the upgrade 4.0.2.1, which makes me up to date. Working with Adobe Support I also cleared and uninstalled, and then reinstalled Photoshop, Bridge, etc. to fix some other problems.
I have experimented with purging the Bridge cache for individual folders I was dragging from and to, but didn't purge all caches. Typically, the crash appears a few seconds after dragging/moving a file - continuosly sucking-me into thinking things are at last repaired. On occasion images are lost - i.e. really destroyed, or dropped into some limbo somewhere.
I'd be truly grateful for any ideas to try, no matter how extensive or simple.
Thanks!

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!

Bridge CS5 Not Working

I currently have PS CS5 installed on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard. PS5 works fine but when I try to use bridge, bridge opens but that's it. If I try to do anything I get the spinning beach ball and eventually have to force quit.
I have done all I can outside of bridge ... repaired permissions, uninstalled and reinstalled the software. However, i can't even open up preferences for bridge as it gives me the spinning ball.
I am new to the mac (3 months), so I need some handholding on what to do.
Thanks for your help.

Strange this did not solve it, as said 95 % chance but I really did expect it to work for you. Now I'm running a bit out of options I'm afraid.
Is it possible you have CS4 running in the background? You can only run one version of Bridge at a time.
Curt, as you can only run 1 Bridge version of the time you can have all other CS Suite applications active at the same time regardless their version (at least that is on a Mac but I have no reason to believe it should not be the same on Windows). I can have PSCS4 and PSCS5 both open and active but the only limitation is Bridge. Using the open command Bridge opens the file in the corresponding CS version PS (Bridge CS5 opens in PSCS5 by default). If you choose the open with command you can without problems choose to open a file in PSCS 4 and work on it. Save and closing it will update the preview in Bridge CS5
DJ,
You might give it one more try with the clean tool from Adobe, see also this link from Adobe Support:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
Download the clean tool for Mac and carefully read the Read me files that come with it.
Be sure to update all custom tools, brushes actions (but since your a bit fresh on the Mac you probably won't have much customized?)
Use the uninstaller that comes with the Adobe Application (you will find the uninstaller for CS5 in the Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder in your default application folder (should be on root level, not in your user account).
First start PS and in the help menu choose to deactivate the software. Quit PS and start the uninstaller for CS5.
Be sure to also check the option to deactivate permanently, this erases your serial number from your system but surely you'l have that number stored on a saved place, you will need it again after reinstall
Use the clean tool and also check for the files from the prior mail, not all cache files will be deleted by the clean tool and you might want to trash them manually.
Install again with serial number and sign in on your Adobe ID and try again.

How to restore file associations in Bridge CS5?

Hi
Some time ago I somehow lost file associations in Adobe Bridge CS5. Now when I doubleclick a RAW file (Canon .CR2 file) I get Firefox, when I doubleclick a JPG I get FastStone and when I doubleclick a PSD file nothing happens at all. Also Photoshop is not in the options I get by right-clicking photos and choosing "Open with...".
I have tried [ Edit -> Preferences... -> File Type Associations -> Reset to Default Associations ] , but that didn't help.
Also when I look in the File Type Association dialog, my file types are set to "Explorer Settings", and Photoshop is not among the other options. I don't know how this uses to be (if associations are defined in Bridge or it uses Explorer/Windows settings?), but how do I easily recreate original setup from when I installed Photoshop?

Hi Neil
Thanks for the answer. I'm aware I can manually setup associations one-by-one for all file types I need, but just hoped there was some easier way. I mean there's a lot of file types associated in either windows/explorer or directly in Bridge. Some that I might not know I need tomorrow. Two things I have found out since I asked the question:
1) The problem is probably caused by uninstalling my old CS4 after I had installed CS5. It looks like somebody experienced a similar problem by uninstalling CS3 after the installation of CS4: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1899159#1899159. So apparently a bug Adobe hasn't fixed even though it was in previous version too!? :-( I think it is only natural to keep your old version installed for some time when installing an upgrade. Just to make sure the new version works well before you uninstall the previous (And I have previous had the problem that a new version of Photoshop had a habit of freezing on my PC - or some other error I don't remember - until Adobe released an update. So there's a reason for my behavior).
2) I have installed a second copy of CS5 now on my secondary portable PC, and are using this to make a similar setup regarding file associations in windows/explorer and Bridge. All associations for Photoshop was lost on my primary PC, and God... there's a lot of file associations to setup again... May I recommend Adobe (if reading this) to fix this bug and/or make a script to automatically recover all associations in case of loss!

Why do thumbnails in Bridge CS5 open in CS3? How to fix?

I have both CS3 and CS5 installed on new computer running under Windows 7. I do not want to uninstall CS3 until I fully understand CS5. The problem: When I click thumbnail image in Bridge CS5, the image appears in CS3. I have gone to 'preferences' and tried to figure out how to fix this problem; also looked via windows 7 control panel at default settings; also tried to follow previous discussion on similar problem -- all without success. Help will be much appreciated.

CS5 and CS3 to both independant programs and should not interfere with each other. I would recommend you do not uninstall CS3 as that frequently causes massive file association problems. However, only one program can be active at the same time.
CS3 and CS5 use sepearte cache, so there is no cross association. What you are probably seeing is incorrect file association.
While in CS5 go to edit/pref/file type associations and see what the default is set to. You want it to be CS5. Might click on the radio button at bottom to reset all if that is the problem.

Photoshop CS5 and Bridge CS5

I recently purchased a new PC and transferred Photoshop CS5 from my old PC to the new PC via PCmover Professional and a Laplink USB cable attached to both PC's. The transfer appeared to work without a hitch until I tried to open Bridge CS5 from within Photoshop CS5 without success. I then opened Bridge separately which worked fine but I cannot open any of my photos in Bridge to edit them. What can I do to fix this problem?

I am not a PC expert, but I think most users would highly recommend a clean install rather than a copied one.
CS5 installs in numerous directories on the C drive and it may not get all the directories copied.
I would uninstall and install from the disk or the copy you hopefully saved of the download.
Be sure to deactivate you old copy also.

PS/Bridge CS5 Batch Processor Not Working / Missing Scripts

I'm having a bit of a problem within Photoshop/Bridge CS5 and haven't found anything that works to resolve it.
In Bridge, I want to launch the Photoshop Batch Processor via Tools>Photoshop>Batch.
When I select this, Photoshop launches, but the dialog to process the images never shows. On occasion, if I return to Bridge and attempt the same operation again, I'll get a notification that there's already something in progress and asks if I want to queue this operation. The other times (majority) I can return to Bridge and attempt the operation again but get no dialogues in Photoshop. I can try the other options in this menu as well (eg Image Processor, etc) and get the same results.
Here's what I've done so far:
1. Checked Bridge Edit>Preferences>Startup Scripts and ensured those were all checked. I even disabled all, closed Bridge and Photoshop, then re-enabled.
2. Cleared all Preferences from Bridge and Photoshop (using Ctrl+Shift+Alt at launch).
3. Reinstalled Photoshop (multiple times)
4. Uninstalled Photoshop, ran the Adobe CS Cleaner application, then reinstalled Photoshop.
It should be noted that in Bridge>Edit>Preferences and Startup Scripts, if I click the button to 'Reveal my scripts' the folder it takes me to is blank. Not sure if this folder is solely used for personal/user created scripts or for others as well, but it's completely empty.
I have also gone to Help>Updates and updated both applications with any necessary updates from Adobe.
If I go into Photoshop and select File>Automate>Batch or even File>Scripts>Image Processor, both dialogues open fine.
Running Windows 8.1 Pro.
Anyone else seen this and actually resolve the issue? Does anyone know where the scripts are supposed to be located and/or if I can get them from somewhere else? Any help is much appreciated

Make sure Photoshop is not started and then try to use Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch does Photoshop start up?
Bridge CS5 menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch works on my Windows 7 Pro system
Photoshop Automate>Batch is not a script and Photoshop does not any external java program it had its own version of java plugin.
c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Extensions\ScriptingSupport.8li
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Extensions\ScriptingSupport.8li
However there are two startup scripts for the bridge involved Bridge and Photoshop You must have them for you have a Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>items
two scripts on my system are:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS5\Adobe Bridge\bridge-4.jsx
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS5\Adobe Photoshop\photoshop.jsx
The photoshop.jsx seems to be the one the the inserts the menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch into Bridge and also invokes Photosgop Automate>batch photoshop.jsx also inserts the other Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Menu Itens that you state work.
Here is what I see in my photoshop.jsx for batch. I do not know or understand Bridge scripting and do not know javsscript but what I see there seems to be some checking done about Photoshop being available and if it is not the script just returns which is what you seem to be experiencing the test looks like this

How to get Bridge CS5 to open in Phoshop CS5

I bought a new Windows 7 64bit computer, and set up my older Windows XP computer downstairs, to have two workstations. I also bought an upgrade to CS5, which I wanted on both stations. I put CS5 on the new computer, and it seemed to work. I also put CS5 on the XP computer, and Adobe said I should take off CS4 and deactivate it on this platform, which I did. But now in Bridge CS5 when I double click on a thumbnail, it opens it in Nero (a CD burning program), not in Photoshop. In help, I looked at user questions about Bridge, and it seemed that at least one user about 6 months ago had a similar problem after he took off CS4, I read the responses to his question. One person said that it was file association problem that was lost when he took off CS4. He suggested to go edit, preferences, etc., but when I tried to do that, but could not duplicate what he suggested. ANY SUGGESTIONS???
What also worries me is this going to happen on the new computer if I take off CS4?

Curt,
Sort of figured how to correct the situation, and did get jpegs to open. A friend also suggested that I try to uninstall and reinstall, and then update. Today I tried, and had a couple of things I didn't understand. Scheduled a telephone call to Adobe. Twenty minutes later got a call, punched in selection numbers for the help I wanted, and a machine told me that they would connect me with the person that could help me if I would hang on. I did, but the call disconnected, and they never called back, and I didn't have the number to call. A friend came over and he showed me how to down a program that I had to shut down before the program would uninstall. After a few more set backs, I did get it done, and it seems to be working.
Again thank you for your help, and I know a few things I didn't know before.
Bob

JPG and TIFF colors in Bridge CS5 way off, but fine in Photoshop

Just started happening, but not sure if it was after updating to Bridge 4.0.3 or Camera RAW 6.2. The colors for RAW and PSD files are fine in Bridge, but all JPGs and TIFFs colors are blown out and way off. Opening the JPG or TIFF in Photoshop looks fine though. Anyone else having this issue, or know how to fix it?
Update: If I set the "Develop Settings" in Bridge CS5 to "Camera Raw Defaults" for the JPGs/TIFFs that are displaying improperly, the colors and tones go back to normal, but if I "Clear Settings" everything turns to crap again.

PLEASE help save my sanity and my reputation! --I have spent the last five days exhausting every possible solution to this debilitating issue. I have spent countless hours perusing the web for a solution, spent 4 hours yesterday with Adobe customer support and yet, there is no solution to be found. My issue is that the color (in every file format NEF, JPEG, PSD) completely changes color and desaturates in every one of the adobe products: Photoshop CS5, Camera RAW 6.2, Lightroom 3.2. -
Everything was working fine, and then out of no where my productivity has come to a crashing halt. This is the steps I have taken to this point:
-Uninstalling/re-installing all of the software
-Purging anything that can be purged.
-Changing color profiles
-Resetting defaults
-Resetting preferences
-Installing updated drivers for monitor, video cards
-rollling back drivers for monitor, video cards
-monitor recalibration
**and finally, today...I set the monitor up on another computer, OS windows xp, and to my complete surprise, the issue persists even on another pc with completely different hardware.
-I am at my wits end with this. I have clients ringing my phone off the hook. This is crazy!
-I have sent out for another monitor as a last ditch effort to see if something is wrong with the monitor.
PLEASE, if anyone has a solution please let me know. Apparently, the folks at Adobe are just as perplexed by these issues as we are, as I have found numerous posts on forums throughout the Internet with this same issue---and yet none of the post every found a solution.

Bridge CS5 Preferences = Unknown error

I recently renamed a users shortname from firstnamelastname to firstname.lastname.
Since then, whenever the user opens Bridge CS5 and chooses Adobe Bridge CS5 > Preferences the "Unknown operating system error" pops up.
I have deleted the preference file, reset with CMD + OPTION + SHIFT at application launch, tried with a different user account and uninstalled then reinstalled the suite.
Note, Photoshop CS5 does not suffer the same error when opening its' Preferences.
Is there anything else I can do?

No, the firstname.lastname change is just the local user account.
This confuses me a bit, how were you able to change the short name that appears in the textfield of the 'Home' icon of your user account. As I recall this has never been possible after hitting OK when creating this user.
And I'm with Curt on this. Since Mac is Unix based with OSX it is not wise to use 'strange' characters in filenames but especially forward slash (/) and dot (.) are Unix command specific and often can lead to confusion and malfunction. When a dot is placed in a file or folder name unix reads the part after the dot as an extension and tries to match this with an application to open. (pardon me for the clumsy explanation, I'm a nitwit in this matter, but I think this is somewhat the bottom line of it...)
You could use a divider or underscore (_) instead but that is up to you.
First try to change the name back and if no luck try an Archive and Install option from your original Install disk. This leaves all the files and applications untouched but creates a fresh library and makes a back up of the old one.
Nevertheless be sure to have a back up of your files and serial numbers (but you already had that, right?? )
Use the Archive and install and afterwards use the OSX combo update to update your OS to the latest.
It will take you less then an hour.

Uninstall Bridge CS5?
