Why doesn't Bridge open?

I just bought a new Dell desktop, XPS8100. When I insert a disk with pictures into the computer I get a dialogue box that allows me to download the images using Adobe Bridge CS4. When I select that option the dialogue box disappears but Bridge does not open. If I open Bridge and I go to File to get photos, Bridge does not see the disk drive. If I plug in a flash drive or a card from my camera Bridge does recognize it. I've got thousands of images that are on disks and I'd like to get started. Can anyone tell me what my problem stems from, or offer any solutions?

This may be due to a hidden copy of Bridge running in the background.
Look in Task Manager > Processes and if you find Bridge there kill it.
Then, in Preferences, deselect the option to start Bridge at log-on.

Why can't Bridge open my raw files from Canon PowerShot 120-S? Using PS/5

Why can't Bridge open my raw files from my new Canon Power Shot 120-S camera? I'm using PS-5 and had no problems with other Canon cameras. I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw 8 but this has not resolved the problem.
Jack

1. you need cr 8.3+ for the Canon PowerShot S120
2. ps cs5 can only update to cr 6.7
free solution: use the dng converter: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
integrated solution: upgrade to ps cc. here are the options (but especially note the photographer plan for 9.99/mo) - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/buying-guide.html

Why doesn't iphoto open?

why doesn't my iPhoto open?

Couple of possibilities: it's broken or you're doing it wrong.
Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

Why doesn't Bridge recognize the color labels I've applied to images in Lightroom?

I used to mark images yellow in LR if I needed to do further work on them in Photoshop. Once exported as jpegs, I'd open them in Bridge and sort for color labels. In the last year or so, Bridge stopped seeing those labels. It doesn't work in CS4 or CS6.

Thank you for your prompt response, Victoria! I did what you said and made the labels match. I then restarted both Bridge and LR and exported a file as a test. It didn't work. The image marked with a label in LR shows no label in Bridge. I even restarted the computer and it still doesn't work. Is there something else I can try?

Why won't bridge open?

Yes, I'm slow, but it has taken me several months to figure out how to create clothing with lace digitally. I had the big ah hah. I was up all night. It is 6.00am. The creative juices were flowing and then guess what?
Adobe Bridge will not open back up. Why? Because I paid for the Photoshop CC subscription they have been hounding me to join. Apparently I haven't downloaded something or something. Although everything was working just fine on my system.Everything was working fine on the photoshop cc trial. UNTIL NOW. I don't want to stop what I am doing to read some manual. I don't want to stop to trouble shoot . Because before it wasn't broken..
Great the moment is gone. Great

I do not completely understand what you wrote... you HAD the trial but now you have purchased a subscription... is that so?
If yes, Log out of your paid Cloud account... Restart your computer... Log in to your paid Cloud account

Why doesn't PS open on IMac now (does open on MacBook Pro) without signing up for CSCloud version?

Out of the blue Photoshop will not open on my iMac. Instead a message to purchase iCloud version of Creative Suite and never lets me open Photoshop afterward. It prevents me from using my "Big Mac" for creative work and production. I own and use CS6. I dont want the iCloud version. Photoshop, however, DOES work on my MacBook Pro. BUT I want to use my big screen for design work. Creative Suite offer asks for my serial number.

It's telling you the exact situation: PowerPC applications are not supported under Lion, and will not be in any future version of Mac OS X. You would need to get updated software from NetZero that supports Intel-based Macs - and the NetZero tech obviously doesn't know what s/he is talking about; it's absolutely their software. If your MacBook came with an earlier version of Mac OS X and you're willing to revert from Lion back to that older version, that would get you back PowerPC support. Of course, you'll need an external modem with your MacBook; I presume you have one?
Otherwise, you're probably have to stick with your iBook.

Why doesn't "Preview" open my .PDF files on my computer?

Hello Guys,
My "Preview" program stopped opening .PDF files about a week ago. The program shows up in the dock, but it doesn't display the PDF. It displays JPEG's no problem, but for some reason it' doesnt open PDF fils.It is driving me crazy. I have googled and googled, but no luck in fixing my problem.
I have even set the PDF files to "always open with preview"
Any help would be greatly appreciatd
Thanks in advance
-Miguel

I suspect your problem has to do with the file on the drive that stores the preferences to open what up with what program.
I don't know exactly what that preference file is, but I know of a way to check for corruption of the preference files and once you know which one is corrupted, then we can delete it and it will rebuild.
So do the #12 and #13 OnyX routines here, that will also clear your caches and speed up your machine a little as well.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Once #13 is competed then see this Ut here.
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file

Why Doesn't iBook open all pdf's on iPad

I have just copied Aircraft Maintenance Manuals onto my computer (PDF Form), copied them to iTunes and then synced my iPad and all but 1 work, the one wich isnt working is the largest (553MB) and the most important. Does anyone have any ideas why this is the case. Any help would be good

It just keeps coming up with
                                                      Book Format Error
                                              This book Cannot be opened
                                                 Because the format is not
                                                   reconised, or is invalid.
The other 3 ar the same format and they work fine.

Why doesn't FCP open a file that QT Pro and iMovie can open?

I have since mp4 (h.264) files that I created in QT Pro 7 exactly the same way. FCP can open 5 of them but gives a "general error" for the other two. QT Pro and iMovie can open and play all 7 just fine. What's the problem with FCP? I would expect it to be MORE flexible given its price. Instead I'm about to find myself using iMovie instead of it (imagine my frustration).
Any suggestions?

Dunno - are they protected files? (trailers often are)
How big are they?
H.264 is a "delivery" format and is not considered an "editable" format. iMovie is likely converting it to DV upon load, so that may be why it can use it. You could do the same before loading it into FCP.

Why doesn't HELP open

I have Photoshop CS. Why does my email program open wheh I click on HELP in Photoshop?

I had similar (though not my e-mail client), and reset my Default Browser to my IE, from my Chrome - Help then functioned perfectly. Likely a file association thing going on.
Good luck,

Why "DOESN'T" Firefox open a new Application in a "NEW TAB" Like it used to?

I want a new tab ope for each app. I am using so I can just click on the tab, and continue to work on that app. I "Don't" want to use the "History" and then wait for it to "Reload" that tab!! I want my tabs all open until I close them. Also, why isn't there an"X" in the current tba to be able to close it??

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.<br />
That option allows you to divert such links to a new tab or to the current tab.<br />
For other links use a middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the link or use the right-click context menu.<br />
Left-click a JavaScript link to avoid getting a blank tab.
Some extensions that you can look at:
* Tab Utilities Lite: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/62581
* Tabberwocky: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/14439
* Tab Mix Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1122

Why doesn't Bridge Recognize Canon G1X Raw Images even with ACR 6.6?

I got a new Canon G1X and upgraded my Adobe Camera Raw to version 6.6 which is supposed to recognize this camera.
No matter what I do, the bridge thumbnail never appears and I cannot open the files on Photoshop. I always get an error message that this camera may not be supported.
It is supported and I have upgraded the SW several times.
What gives??

I am wondering if my GX1 is too early or too late in serial number.
That should not matter, and if so it would be solved with a firmware update by Canon
But after some research it seems you need the beta version of ACR 6.7 that does has the support for the GX1 added. The release candidate ACR 6.7 can be found on Adobe Labs:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-7/
Read the about and terms and download the plug in. It is beta but pretty safe to use

Why doesn't Audition open when I click 'Edit Clip in Adobe Audition' in Premiere Pro CC2014?

I have been reading up on this issue and it seems like I am not the only one that this has happened to since Adobe released CC2014. The button is NOT greyed-out, just doesn't function the way it did in the original CC version; it creates an extracted file but does not send it to open with Audition and I have to manually locate the file and open it in order to edit the file.
I have already made sure that the .sesx file is set to use Adobe Audition by default but did not resolve it. Please let me know if you have a fix for this. Thanks!

Hi OB,
Menu > Pages > Preferences > General
Times New Roman is one of my Custom Templates in Template Chooser.
Those settings give me that template when I launch Pages 5, also with Menu > File > New (command n).
Anything different about your set up?
Regards,
Ian.
Edit: BTW, with those preferences, New From Template Chooser no longer shows under the File Menu. Hold down the option key to see it. Ian.

Why doesn't iphoto open in time machine

I am having trouble with my iMac and need to take it to an apple store to be checked out. Before I do that, I want to make sure that iPhoto and all my photos are backed up in Time Machine. However, when I'm in Time Machine I can't click on iPhoto to open it it {down the left hand side}. If I go to iPhoto in applications, it just open up a little box that says iPhoto and doesn't show my pictures.
How do I know for sure that my pictures are backed up on Time Machine?
Thanks!!!

That is NOT how Time Machine was designed to be used. Time machine backs up your files in a proprietary format that is enabled to be reloaded into the main OSX OS if you need to go back to a previous version of a file. Time Machine is NOT designed for you to be able to open Apps such as iPhoto from WITHIN the Time Machine app.
Hope this helps

Elements 7: Why doesn't it open?

When I have tried to open EL 7 a message comes up from Photoshop.com appears stating: Photoshop.com Membership "Gathering user info..." and then NOTHING happens. It ran for 30-40 minutes until I got fed up and turned it off in frustration.
Please help.
Thank you.
Bill Powers

Well, I just fiddled around for another half-hour and now everything is fine. Don't know what had happened, might have been my installing LR 3 two days ago (that when EL 7 started acting up.
Anyway, everything is OK now.
