Bridge CS6 will not open on Dell/Win7 computer, any help?

After installing Creative Suite 6, Bridge has never opened. Installed update 13.0.1, Bridge still wont run. Getting the feeling from posts that Bridge CS6 is kind of buggy. Any help would be great.

Well, one more thought:
Try holding down the Control key as you attempt to launch Bridge and keep holding it down until you get a dialog box asking you if you want to delete settings. Click yes to all three choices.
Mac users would hold down the Option key.

My iPhone 3GS won't isn't recognizable after updating to iOS 6.0.1. I have a MacBook and an iMac. Both are also up to date. iPhone 3GS turns on, and charges from wall. Does not get recognized by either computer. Help!

My iPhone 3GS has worked like a charm. I stupidly agreed to do the software update today, and now both of my computers ignore it. Both computers are Mac. Both are updated. This is extremely frustrating, since I need my phone today for work purposes, and since I can't add music to it...it's basically useless. I use it as an MP3 player to play music during wedding Cocktail Hours.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

The Ultimate Problem!!! iTouch not even recognized AT ALL!!!

As my title clearly states, my Ipod Touch 2 Gen is not even recognized by my computer AT ALL, no USB device, camera, nada furthmore it can't even recharge via my computer
And to avoid any meaningless crap: Yes , my USB cable works, iTunes somewhate works and is the latest version, no my iTouch isn't jailbroken and DFU/Recovery Mode aren't recognized either
Anyone care to help?

? What do you mean? Does this have some relationship as to why my computer *****?
Oh, I can get my computer to detect my iTouch as an camera (Apple Ipod) now after restoring my iTouch on another comp to factory defaults by iTunes still isn't picking it up ergo I can't sync it <---It's a bit of a good news but not really
Reinstalling the latest version of iTunes has no affect

My 4s stopped working, my computer is not even recognizing that it is plugged in. It got dropped and also a tiny bit of water on it. Any suggestions on what could be wrong

So the full situation is the my iphone 4s was a on a table that got knocked over last night so it dropped and got a little wet. Now it is not working at all, it was fully chargd I have it plugged in but my computer is not even recognizing that something is plugged in, the screen is black and it is doing absolutley nothing

Seems obvious that the iphone is seriously damaged from either the dropping impact or the water or both. Your choices are: (a) repair [Apple Store or a commercial company that specializes in this], or (b) new iphone.
For (b), if you restore from your backup (these backups are typically done every time you plug your iphone in to your computer, when the phone is working of course; or from the cloud if you were using icloud) to a new iphone, it will essentially be just like the old one was. That option shows up as "restore" when you connect a new phone to your computer, or you can simiarly restore form icloud if you were using icloud.
Water or impact damage to an iphone is usually something that cannot be resolved through online discussion groups. You need to take the phone to someone who understands how to open up the phone and inspect for damage and give you an assessment on repair.
For me, I'd get the new iphone (which can be expensive) because I expect that the old damaged one, even if "repaired or refurbished," will never work 100% properly again.

My ipod is not being recognized by my computer AND itunes

When i connect my ipod, its not getting recognized by the computer AND itunes. i've read all the troubleshooting things and nothing works. is there someone who could help me please? i can't put any music, movies or anything on my ipod and just a while ago, all my songs got deleted so i'm listening to very little music now. please help me!

Did you try using another usb port? my hardrive has two maybe yours does. And if you have a game console, some of those have usb ports so plug your ipod in there and see if that reconizes it.

My iPod is stuck on the Apple logo and won't do anything! It won't turn on, doesn't give me the option to power it off, and to top it all off, it's not being recognized by my computer OR by iTunes when I plug it into my computer.

So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!

- I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod. try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible

I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, Jack

Hi Jack, great help so far!

HT1510 My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. I have the original USB cord but when I plug it into my computer there is no recognition. The first time I plugged it in it recognized but never again.

My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. It is flashing orange and when plugged in with the original USB cable nothing happens to show the computer recognizes it.

Flashing orange usually means it is being recognized by the computer. The flashing means do not disconnected, because the shuffle's "disk" is mounted.
In iTunes (with the shuffle connected), when you look in the sidebar (left side of window), under DEVICES, the iPod is not shown there? Does it say DEVICES in the sidebar?

My Macbook pro when plugged in will hold a green light and not be recognized by the computer to charge. SMC reset done several times. Any help?

Our MBP bought earlier this year when plugged in to charge will hold a green light and not be recognized by the computer as charging. Sometimes if we turn it around or plug it in multiple times will work. We have reset the SMC several times and will work for a little while then go back to the same problem. Any help or ideas on how to fix it would be great.

Hi Why must I,
I'm sorry to hear you are having charging issues with your MacBook Pro. It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue; SMC resets are often an appropriate step for battery or power issues. If this issue persists, you may find the additional troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
Mac notebooks: All about batteries - Apple Support
OS X Mavericks: If your battery won’t charge
Note: If you reach the last step in the second article and it looks like you may need to have your MacBook Pro serviced, you may find this page useful:
