Question

Adobe Bridge 14.1 is not compatible with macOS 11.7.10

With the release of Adobe Bridge 14.1 today, Bridge will no longer open in Big Sur.

 

Be aware if you have auto update turned on you will need to uninstall and install version 14.0.4

 

Same thing happened with Photoshop 25.7

I'm running the most updated version of sonoma.

Bridge crashes during startup.

Has been totally unusual for me for 2 months now.

Happened almost 2 years ago with version 12. Then one of the updates to 13 inexplicably fixed it.

Now here we go again.

Just another day at the ranch with adobe....

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention and sharing your feedback.

We recently updated one of our dependencies which has created this unintended issue for users on Big Sur. We are working towards a change to allow launch of Bridge on Big Sur for now. We will keep you posted once a release is out with that change. For current set of workarounds, please refer to this link.

But at the same time, we are also evaluating not allowing installation of Bridge on BigSur for future releases. This is because as per Bridge System Requirements, BigSur is not a supported MacOS version as some of our dependencies (For e.g. video library) require MacOS Monterey and above.

We appreciate your patience and encourage everyone to consider updating to the recommended macOS versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with our applications.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
Bridge Team.

As you likely know, Big Sur is out of support with Apple and Monterey will be out of support this fall when the next version of macOS comes out.

On the flip side, I still use Bridge 12 because of the slew of issues and breakage of my workflow in the newer releases. I REALLY need that to still be available in case of problems where I'd need to reinstall. I'm a working pro product photographer and simply can't use Bridge 13/14.

Bridge was working fine on my machine until it did an automatic update, now it won't open.  I have an old mac running Big Sur.  I may need to reinstall an older version of Bridge.  How do I do this?  Help and the virtual assistant seem to be of no use.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

And yet Adobes auto update feature updated Bridge to 14.1 as well as the info pallet showing it is compatable "with this device" which it can tell is running Big Sur

The fix is to get off Big Sur and upgrade to Sonoma. Don't know what else to tell you.
