Uninstalling Bridge CS4

I have tried everything to remove Bridge CS4, along with ExtendScript Toolkit CS4 and Extension Manager CS4, with no luck. If I try and uninstall Web Standard CS4 it gives me the option to remove Bridge as well and when that completes it claims that Bridge was successfully removed. However, it is still there and I can launch it without issue. I have tried using the CleanScript for CS4 and CS5, neither bring up Bridge as a program to remove. I have uninstalled everything related to Adobe through Windows Add/Remove Programs as well as everything the Adobe CleanScript offers to uninstall and Bridge is still on my system.
Does anyone have any suggestions for removing Bridge from a system. I running Windows XP Pro SP3.

Yes, it will.

Need Help Uninstalling PP CS4 Trial

I have had CS4 Design Standard on my pc for a while now. I recently downloaded the trial version of Premiere Pro CS4 which has now expired. I have decided not to purchase it and would like to uninstall it (it takes up a lot of space that I would like back). When I begin the uninstall I'm brought to the "Choose Products to Uninstall" screen. In this screen when I choose to uninstall Encore CS4, OnLocation CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4 it automatically selects to uninstall Bridge CS4, Speech Analysis Models, Device Central CS4, Extension Manager CS4, and several Supporting Components which include fonts, scripts, update manager, etc. How can I uninstall Premiere Pro without uninstalling these programs which I assume are needed for the rest of my CS4 programs to function properly? I've included two images as an example. Thanks in advance...

I'm still having an issue with the uninstaller and would like to get this off of my computer. Does anyone out there know how to prevent it from uninstalling the shared files??

Files opening in bridge cs4, not cs5

I have all my graphics types associated with bridge, but they open in cs4, and changing the association (in open with...) does nothing.
Maybe I should just uninstall bridge cs4?

Afraid that I might be called a smartypants I still suggest a different approach.
Personally I want my .psd-files to open in eg. Photoshop if I double click them from within Windows Explorer. Same with .indd/ai opening in InDesign or Illustrator.
Therefore I've made a .reg file that contains this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge]
@="Open in Adobe Bridge CS4"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge\cmd]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Adobe Bridge CS5\\Bridge.exe\" \"%L\""
This gives me the possibility to right click a folder, sadly not a specific file, and have it "open"/previewed/organized in Bridge.
Naturally this doesn't help your current issue with Bridge CS4 opening instead of CS5.
Just wanted to give you a possible workaround.
If everything else fails contacting Adobe Support could be an option...

Adobe Bridge CS4 window will not open MAC

I was using Bridge CS4 on a MAC OSX 10.6.8 yesterday and all was fine. Today when I went to use Bridge, there was no window open. Bridge started up and appeared normal. However, there is no window. When I select "new Window" nothing happens. I uninstalled manually and reinstalled all Photoshop software from the start. I went to open Bridge and the same thing occured. How do I get a new window in Bridge to operate?

Yes!! Success at last. Thank you Omke. Holding down the Option key while starting fixed it. That's an answer that nobody at Adobe could provide me with in 9 hours. Regards.

Bridge CS4 will not update to Camera Raw 5.7 on one of my computers.

Bridge (CS4) will properly display my Nikon NEFs (from my Nikon D3 & D3S) on my old Mac Pro (Lion 10.75) but only the NEFs from the D3 are displayed on the exact same program on my MacBook Pro Retina - Mavericks).
I have followed Adobe's instructions perfectly, over and over again, but no matter what I try (and I did try some variations) I cannot update from Camera RAW Preferences.Version 5.0.0.178 on the MacBookPro Retina.
The Camera RAW preferences Version on the older Mac Pro computer's identical copy of Bridge CS4 is Version 5.7.0.213.
I tried opening and installing a download of Camera_Raw_5_7.dmg from Adobe and I also tried dropping in the Camera Raw plugin file from the older computer but nothing works. I have emptied the cache several times.
I dont know if this is significant but when I first started trying to do this, I could not find the Plug-Ins folder in the Adobe file on the MacBook Pro Retina, so I copied the one from the Mac Pro's Adobe folder.
Please help. I can only use Bridge on my older desktop computer because of this problem.
Thank you.
Jan

Well, Jan, over the years I've helped many Mac users with this precise problem, and I even posted screen shots showing the path to the correct plug-in folder for ACR. However, in your case all those images won't help and I won't be able to generate new ones for you for one simple reason: I do not use Mavericks and never will because my Mac Pro desktops cannot go above Lion, FORTUNATELY. Mavericks is still cr@p at this point.
All I can do is try to clarify a few misconceptions for you:

…I read that about the root level library when I first tried to follow the instructions from Adobe and I thought that I was doing exactly that. Instead of the library associated with my name, I found the library associated with my hard drive. I suspect that I have not yet even seen the root level library…
Jan, that is the ROOT LEVEL Library.
Getting back to your advice, I do not understand what you mean by mounting the .dmg file as if it were a DVD or external hard drive.
I mean just that. A Disk Image file (.dmg) is a virtual disk, like a virtual DVD. You double click on that file in the Finder and it will then mount just as if you had inserted a DVD into your computer. It will then show you the contents it carries. I will not be at my computers for a few weeks, so I can't be sure about all that the Disk Image for that update shows; but somewhere in there will be the ACR Plug-in. That's what you need to copy from the Disk Image to your hard drive and install it in its correct location, NOT THE BLOODY .dmg file, for goodness sakes!
Do you understand that once you are at the ROOT LEVEL Library you DO NOT go to the Plug-ins folder therein? Read the instructions again. What you want is to continue the path through the Application Support folder /Adobe / Plug-ins / etc.
This old screen shot may help. Command or Control-Click on the thumbnail to see the full image in a new window, then scroll horizontally; it is a VERY wide image:
Also, if I delete the Plug-ins folder that I copied from my other computer's installation of Bridge CS4. Should I reinstall the entire CS4 suite from the original disks and start all over again. If so, I read somewhere that I will need to somehow deactivate my serial number from the products as installed on my MacBook Pro so that I may reinstall it.
Delete anything you may have copied yourself only if you are 100% sure what that is. But DO NOT REINSTALL ANYTHING without first uninstalling using the Adobe UNINSTALLER that was installed in your Utilities folder inside your Applications folder.
Whatever possessed you to go around copying folders from a different Mac OS version? ??? That is insane! Geez…
Why the heck do you keep talking about Bridge? ??? !!! Bridge has absolutely NOTHING to do with the installation of ACR. NOTHING!
ACR is installed at the OS level and can be hosted indistinctly by Photoshop or by Bridge from the same location.
Bridge is totally out of the loop in this discussion, just as it is when you are using ACR hosted by Bridge. All Bridge does is call upon the appropriate application, whether this be Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), Illustrator or even Microsoft Word and hand it the file, period. You could use ACR for years without ever launching Bridge, even without having Bridge installed. Ever.

Bridge CS4 will not Launch

Recently I tried to upgrade my Mac G4 Tower from OS 10.4 to OS 10.5 and it failed, even though I met all requirements. I had to reinstall 10.4 and now Bridge CS4 will not launch. It worked fine before. I uninstalled PS CS4 and reinstalled it, I tossed prefs & cash files, I reset prefs but still no luck. Any suggestions before I strip down the whole HD and start from scratch?
gardon4

Any suggestions before I strip down the whole HD and start from scratch?
My first go would be to buy a new HD and replace this with your current in
the G4 and give a clean install of 10.5 to try if it will work.
If you downgraded without a clean install from scratch you sure will end up
with conflicting settings for applications.
You could try to back up all custom settings, actions, tools etc and then
deactivate the suite with erase serial number.
Then find the clean tool for Adobe
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
and run this script, it says CS5 but to my knowledge it also finds files for
the CS3 and CS4 suite. Do a search for any adobe files from user and system
library and delete those also. Then install the CS4 suite again.
But again to be honest, you are using a computer that in current digital
terms dates from the 'stone age' and in now way can cope with the needs for
the use of digital files nowadays. It might be wiser to try and find a used
MacPro (or even a used iMac with intel processor) that will give you much
more profit in speed, disk space and processing instead of investing more
time and money in new disks and install procedures...

Bridge CS4 has LONG delay in opening the first image

Photoshop CS4 upgrade was my Christmas present this year. I've been fighting this annoying "problem" ever since then...
I DO see this "problem" on my desktop PC, which is a Dell XPS-400 PC (with 2 GB of memory) running Windows XP (Media Center Edition) with SP3 installed. I DO NOT see this "problem" on my laptop, which is a Dell XPS-1530 (4 GB of memory) running Windows Vista SP1. I installed the Photoshop CS4 software exactly the same way on both machines, and I have the preferences set the same in both Photoshop and Bridge (and Camera Raw) on both machines.
Here's the situation: I first open Photoshop CS4 and then click on the Bridge icon in the Application Bar to open Bridge. When I use Bridge to open a photo, by either double-clicking the thumbnail, or right-clicking on the thumbnail and choose "Open" from the context menu, there is a 42 second delay before Photoshop opens the file. This long delay only occurs when opening the very first file.
Once that first image file is opened, double-clicking any thumbnail in Bridge will have it open in Photoshop CS4 in about 2 seconds. There will never be another long delay in having Bridge pass a file to Photoshop (or Camera Raw) again - until I close the applications and restart them. Once I restart the applications, the first photo takes 42 seconds to open....
This delay does not occur in opening the first image file if I right-click on the thumbnail in Bridge CS4 and choose "Open With" and manually choose Photoshop CS4.
Even if that is how I open the first (or several) image file(s), the first time I try to open a file from Bridge by double-clicking on a thumbnail (or right-click on a thumbnail and choose "Open") there will be that annoying 42 second delay before it opens.
It does not matter what the file format the first image file is (JPG, PSD, TIFF, or DNG), or what the file format of any subsequent image file is. As long as I do not close the Bridge and Photoshop applications, any subsequent file will be passed from Bridge to Photoshop in only a couple of seconds.
I have manually set the File Name Extensions in Windows XP, and in the Preferences in Bridge. Both have been set to open the file types listed above with Photoshop CS4.
I have uninstalled CS4, and have used two seperate Registry cleaners (CCleaner and jv16 Power Tools) before re-installing Photoshop CS4. This had no effect on this situation. I've run "chkdsk C: /r" several times, with no problems reported.
I have been searching through these forums for over 2 weeks now, and I have not seen anyone else report such a problem. I use my XP desktop much more than my Vista laptop, so I'd really like to fix this situation, but I don't know what else to try.
Gregg Mack

Don,
Thanks for all of your suggestions. I tried them all, but the problem remains exactly as it was. To properly document my efforts:
In Bridge's Preferences, I Purged and Compacted the Bridge Cache, then changed it's location to D:\Bridge_Cache (D:\ is a second physical internal SATA drive).
I can not tell the exact size the Cache is set to, but the slider in Bridge's Preference is very close to the left end (10,000) of the slider.
The Windows Page File is set to 3072 MB min and 4096 max, and it is entirely on the D:\ drive. (I have 2GB of physical RAM in the PC.)
I defragmented the C:\ drive using Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premier, and even ran a Boot Time Defrag.
Rather than set some exclusions for Norton Anti-Virus, I jsut disbled that Virus checking program for all of my experiments.
I deleted the Bridge Preference File by holding down the Ctrl key as Bridge was restarted.
I even deleted the entire contents of the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder. I then rebooted the PC - twice. I then re-disabled Norton Anti-Virus.
The PC is approaching 3 years of age, but it is a 3.2 GHz Pentium D machine with 2 GB of RAM and two internal SATA drives. Every other application that I run on this machine responds reponsively. Again it is only the FIRST image file that I have Bridge hand off to Photoshop (or Camera Raw) that takes forever. The second and subsequent image files take a second or two.... That doesn't sound like it's an "old hardware" problem to me.
I'm willing to try anything else that you, or anyone else would like to suggest.
Thanks
Gregg Mack

Bridge CS4 crashes with last Nvidia driver (195.62)

Sorry for my bad english...
This message because since november I have crashes with Blue Screnn of the Death when I used Bridge CS4, even when no other programs running on my PC.
Or my computer became veru slow when I open Bridge...
Or Error messages saying that Bridge must close because not enough memory (I have 3gO RAM and 512 on my graphic card Nvidia 9500, and not at all used when I have the message....)
I tried many and many things (uninstall and reinstall Photoshop, change preferences of Photoshop, Bridge, change memory in Windows...) and Bridge always crashes after some minutes of use.
I searched in many forums, and saw many people have the same problem, but nobody have the solution.
Yesterday, in the "Event viewer", in "system", I had the message : "the driver nv_disp of the peripherical display \Device\Video0 remained blocked in an infinite curl. It points out a problem with the material or with the driver of the material programming the equipment in the wrong manner"
So I went to a problem with the graphic card.
I found the solution on a forum about Nvidia : "...the problem is that after driver 195.62, sometimes Blue Screen of the Death happens. This crashes happens everytime I close Adobe Bridge, and also in some other occasions too. With the old driver (190.38), dosn't BSOD. Will be great if NVIDIA told it at 195.62 releases, and fix it if possible..."
In fact, I uploaded my GeForce 9500 driver version 6.14.11.7519 to 6.14.11.9562 in november...
I come back to my old driver and have no more problem with Bridge CS4...

Well I have a 9600GT and at the moment I have the v191.07 installed but on checking the Nvidia site today I saw this
This is a WHQL-certified driver for GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 200, and 300-series desktop GPUs and ION desktop GPUs.
New in Version 197.45
Recommended for the best performance with the new GPU-accelerated features in Adobe CS5
RESULT...
Well have tried it and it seems to cure the problem. Opened Bridge and Photoshop CS5 several times, went through hundreds of photo albums, trying to make Bridge crash but it just wouldn't... So for now I'd have to say it works great.

Bridge CS4 HTML Gallery

All of a sudden, the HTML Gallery option in Output/Web Gallery is gone! It's still available on my laptop, so I can still access it. But where did it go and how can I get it back?
I made the mistake of updating the CS4 products...maybe that was it.
Anyone know how to get it back? I'm running CS4 Design Premium [Mac].
Thanks in advance.
Margot
ps. I did a search but only found Windows downloads...

the Web Gallery template HTML Gallery is still not there.
Personally I don't use Webgallery and accidentally assumed that you can (like in the PDF section for Output Module that I use a lot) create your own custom template but that seems not the case.
However I did find the possible location of the webgallery in the library on rootlevel. Choose your start up disk icon and follow the path: Library / Application Support/ Adobe/ Bridge CS4 Extensions/ Adobe Output Module/ mediagallery/ resources/htmlgallery.
Do the same on your laptop and check if the htmlgallery folders are present on both system and have the same content inside. If not copy the one from the laptop to the new system and check if this solved the problem.
Also check the presence of the other templates in the new system. If they are also gone it might be wise to use the uninstaller for CS4 and choose to uninstall Bridge, and reinstall it after you have checked and repaired permissions with Apple Disk Utility on your new system.

Bridge CS4 no longer reading Raw files after reinstalling PS CS4

I recently uninstalled PSE8 (using Adobe installer) and was prompted to reinstall PS CS4. I did this and now Bridge is no longer reading my Raw files. I just get a white blank where the image should be. I tried reinstalling Raw Converter 5.6 but it still does not work.
I use a Canon T1i and am running Snow Leopard on my Mac.
Any ideas how I can get Bridge working again?
Thanks.

If this is the same thing as Adobe Camera Raw 5.6 (I'm assuming it is),
Of course it is.

…but when I check the version of Camera Raw on Bridge CS4, it's only 5.0. I don't know why the update doesn't seem to "stick". Any suggestions?
You obviously have a bad installation of the Camera Raw plug-in.
You need to remove the ACR 5.0 plug-in, which somehow you did not remove when installing 5.6, and instal 5.6 in the correct location. Read the Camera Raw update instructions again, very carefully. The location is detailed exactly. Note that you start with the ROOT LEVEL Library, NOT your user library.
This screen shot is from an earlier post and it shows Camera Raw 5.1 installed. The path is the same for ACR 5.6. Note that you can only have one instance of the Camera Raw plug-in installed per version of Photoshop (5.6 for CS4, 4.x for CS3, 3.x for CS2) each in its respective folder.

Can I uninstall Bridge?

I have the master collection, but at the moment only installed the design suite programs (because I don't have time to load it all on yet) And I was wondering with the programs I installed if uninstalling bridge will corrupt or make problems for any other programs that are on. I originally wasn't planning on installing bridge because it's such a memory hog, and just plain pointless in my opinion (another story for another day), but it didn't give me the option which was kind of frustrating.
If anyone could tell me if it will be okay to uninstall bridge, you would be helping me out a lot. Thank you.

You can't uninstall Bridge without jumping through hoops.
You don't mention if you have CS4 but if you do I suggest that, rather than messing with your system, you seriously consider learning what Bridge can do – it's vastly improved.
And, correctly configured on a correctly configured computer, it is NOT a memory hog.
You must be doing something wrong!

Bridge CS4 - Lost all file associations - On 2 computers

I run Photoshop CS4 on my desktop and notebook, Windows XP Pro.
I have lost all my file associations with bridge CS4. If I clicked on a .jpg MS paint would start up. It use to work before no problem. If I reset, it does nothing. This is happening on both of my machines.
I manually selected PS CS4 but at times MS Paint still comes up and if I click the restore defaults, NOTHING happens.
Any ideas how to fix this?

I have a similar but subtle difference showing up. This morning, I clicked Open on a .psd in Bridge CS3 and got "~Photo~1" in place of a program selection. In some cases, I got this and CS4 as options. If I go to Find in Explorer, it opens. Since I have decided to wait for CS5 and the trial period is almost over, I uninstalled CS4 and did a cleanup afterwards. Now, when I go to CS3 Bridge nothing happens. Find in Explorer says it cannot open it either. So I checked File Associations and sure enough it was practically empty, saying "None" to the vast majority of file types. It even indicated None for the nef files but they do open in ACR anyway.
Since my three basic file types are Tiff, psd and nef, I got those working by re-associating them in XP. I also have a number of DNG, but haven't tried these yet.
Reading the links here, it looks like this is a real bug and since it is persistent back to CS2, has been around for a while.
I expect I will have to uninstall CS3 and do a CS cleaner and start over again.
This is on XP. I have Win7 as well, but at the moment, only CS3 there. I'll reinstall CS4 then uninstall it and see if W7 is also a problem.

Bridge CS4 tries to open Photoshop CS3

Win XP SP3:
Installed Photoshop CS4 with Bridge CS4. Uninstalled Photoshop and Bridge CS3.
Now when trying to open an image from Bridge CS4 into Photoshop, I get an error message saying that Photoshop CS3 could not be found and to search for it and spell it right.
What can I do to fix this?

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.

Bridge CS4's Output update for Mac - can't download, Help anyone?

I am trying to download the Output Update for Bridge CS4, which I have been using for some years. When I try to open the dmg file I get a 'can't install/quit' message. I have checked system requirements, space etc and cannot figure out tghe problem. Can anyone advise?

Thanks for the screenshot.
Here are some suggestions: Output Module 2.1 Failed to install
