Photoshop :: CS6 Bridge Will Not Open Folders On Mac
Jun 4, 2012
I have just installed CS6 from disc onto iMac with OS10.7.4. Photoshop appears to be OK but Bridge will not open folders. It hangs after the first attempt and the error " .unable to read cache." appears. Central cache has been purged but has changed nothing. The only way I can get out of Bridge is to force quit.
Whenever I try to open the Brushes panel, the Bridge window pops up. I know that Bridge is a media manager, so I'm not sure why is it opening. I really need to edit the brushes and I can't find a way to do it. Is there a way to disable bridge or another way to open the brushes panel that won't open bridge?
iMac with OS X 10.8.2 and Photoshop & Bridge CS6 and Lightroom 4.When try and access photos via Bridge most of my folders have a little red circle with a minus inside, denying me access to the folders.However, if I use mini Bridge in PS I can access all of my folders.
How can I get photos in folders on an external hard drive to display in Bridge? At present only those located in Users>Pictures will display. I'm in CC.
Having organized, edited and rated my photos using Bridge CS4 but recently started getting seriously into LR3 I still want to keep that file structure, either in a transitional period or indefinitely.
I normally use Bridge to import the photos, then spend some time creating sub-folders (one folder per event), organizing them. I'm hoping that I can add those (already organized) folders into LR, but can't figure out how. I see how I can import the photos, but I don't want that as I want to keep them all in the same location (they're all organized on the hard drive as I want them), just have LR "see" them so I can further edit and rate them. How do I do that?
I also want LR to understand and see the edits I've made to my RAW files as well as my ratings, keywords etc.
Are there other things I should keep in mind when having my photos work with both Bridge and LR?
Using PS CS6 on Mac running Mt. Lion. When I am in Bridge and I choose OPEN, then the picture is opened in the PS application that shows in the dock or in PS that may already be opened. If, however, I choose OPEN WITH and choose either Adobe Photoshop CS6 (default) or Adobe Photoshop CS6, a second Photoshop application appears in the dock and then opens.
I've never had this problem before today but I went to duplicate a layer into another photoshop file I have open, and where you select which .psd you'd like it to duplicate into, the open intended target file was not listed. I could either duplicate it in the same .psd, or I could duplicate it into a new file. I've tried restarting, I've checked for updates...
OSx 10.6.8 CS5 Photoshop 12.0.4 Only other program i have running is Google's Chrome web browser
I'm using win7 with plenty of memory. I had PS CS and upgraded to a complete new version of cs6 extended. I loaded it and the ps program works fine. However the Bridge program will not start. I've tried both programs even from the exe file and nothing. It will not run.
I signed up for photoshop CC, downloaded the Creative Cloud software, installed the Photoshop CC and Bridge CC apps, but nothing happens after that? I can't open either Bridge or Photoshop CC. They both say that they are up to date, but I can't open them?
I know this has been discussed a lot on the forums and I have read all of those, but I am frustrated after 3 weeks of working on this. I bouht my wife Photoshop CS6 for xmas and loaded on our iMac running 10.8.2. She was running Elements 8. CS6 Bridge will not open. Get a message "operation can not be completed". It will also not open from inside Photoshop either. Following other posts, went into Library and deleted switchboard folder, plist files, and other listed files. Did an option start on CS6 and reset to factory, delete thunbnails. Performed PRAM and disk permissions repair. None of this has fixed the problem. The only thing that works is creating a new user account. Bridge opens fine in my test account.
I just upgraded from CS4 direct to CS6, all looked fine until yesterday When attempting to open Bridge CS6, the CS4 version kept opening.
After2 hours 'Talking' to Adobe (remote) it was suggested I uninstall PS 6 and Bridge (after deregistering). I carried on working, then first thing this AM, I set about uninstalling, but... I thought I'd try Bridge CS6 first, wooo hoo it works, another BUT...
When I open Bridge it I am presented with the annoying UAC popup -Why? I AM an admin, and none of the other Adobe progs as this. The other issue is, when I select from PS6 FILE > Browse in Bridge. NOTHING happens.
How can I get Bridge to start from PS CS6 as it should.? (mini bridge works fine)How can I get rid of UAC only on Bridge CS6?
Windows 7 8GB ram, latest versions of BR, and PS, in task manager bridge.exe IS running BEFORE I attempt to run it from the PS CS 6 menu option.or should I uninstall PS6 and BR6 then re-install?
I can't open my D800 Nikon NEF images in Bridge and Photoshop CS 6 of Creative Suite. However the jpgs from the D800 will open........ What to do. This is on an iMac that is 6 years old. What to do+
I have no problems opening the NEF on my newer laptop using the same software.
I just installed, registered and launched cs2. however, when i attempt to access bridge, it opens and then is forced shut with a notice that says i must install and launch another adobe program before i can access bridge. please help me, i'm pretty sure i need bridge to create a slide show online.
Windows cannot find C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Photoshop.exe
I installed Photoshop CS6 Upgrade (64bit and 32Bit) to my PC which ran CS5 Extended. When I deleted CS5, Bridge stopped opening files, whether I double clicked on the file or did Open with: I get the same error message.
Downloaded lightroom with no problem. When I try to download photoshop and bridge I get a message saying to close bridge which is not open. Tried shutting down and started over to no avail.
One thing I noticed is that with CS5, when I choose Browse in Mini Bridge while in Photoshop, Bridge opens in the background. In CS6 when I browse in Mini Bridge, regular Bridge does not open, although I can open Bridge directly from Photoshop. The other strange thing is that I can open Camera Raw from mini Bridge, just not from regular Bridge. I get the same message as others get, that Bridge's parent application is not active and that I must launch a qualifying product at least once in order to open Camera Raw. I searched all the files I downloaded and installed for "trial" but nothing came up.
How to open Camera Raw in Bridge, it comes up with the following error Bridge parent application is not Active Bridge requires that a qualifing product has been lanched at least once to enable this feature. It opens in Photoshop CS6 & Elements 10 but not Bridge?
I came here and found a download that fixed mini bridge for two weeks. Now back to bad behavior. Running Win 7.Hangs up "waiting for Bridge CS 5" but never finds the content.
I have installed and updated both PhotoshopCC and BridgeCC.
I can display the images in Bridge. However, whenever I double-click on them I get the following error message' "Windows cannot find C:ProgramfilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6 (64 bit). Make sure you typed the name correctly and the try again." I can open the files from PhotoshopCC without going to Bridge.
What can I do? This may be related to the above problem: PhotoshopCC does not seem to set the file associations.
I just did a reformat, and I used to be able to open DNG's in ACR just by double clicking them, but I can't figure out what setting that was. It was nice to avoid having to right click and select Open in Camera Raw, and just press enter.
When I open CS5 I'm getting... "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to start working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." (Working on a desk top with windows 8.)
I uninstalled then restarted my computer. Re-installed CS5 and then restarted again. Then when trying to open Photoshop it gives me the same error. All of my Adobe products worked fine till last night. Now it's going it on Lightroom 3, Bridge and camera raw as well. I even tried updating all software from adobe's site.
