Can anyone help.

I have just got my macbook and downloaded the photography package, i plugged my sd card adapter in and opened bridge for the first time. i opened the sd card doc and found all my photos. the something popped up on my screen about my adapter which i pressed dismiss. Suddenly all my photos went of screen and my adapter (or sd card) is no longer opening in the bridge app so i cant find and choose my photos to edit.

Can anyone help me reverse my process or tell me how to hard reset bridge on my computer ?

thankyou

Are the photos on your SD card? Try File > Get Photos from Camera. If that doesn't work, reset the Preferences for Bridge.

Quit Bridge.
Press and hold Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+Option+click Bridge in the Dock, then click Open from the shortcut menu.
When you see this screen, release the modifier keys. Check all boxes and click OK. This should bring back whatever you closed before.

Jane-e's suggestions are spot on but I would like to take a step backwards if I may.

It sounds like you want to take some images on a flash drive, open them in Bridge to see what's there and do some image corrections on some of them.

If that's correct I'd like to make a suggestion: move the images to your computer or external hard drive and do it from there. You can do this move either within the Finder (drag them to your hard drive via the Finder or use the photo downloader from within Bridge).

The reason is that flash drives are not the best media to do image adjustment and all. For storage and transport, fine. But there can be a lot of extra stuff going on when you are working on images and if the amount of space available to you on that flash drive is limited, it can be even more of an issue. PLUS, if anything happens to an image, you're screwed as you do not have any back up.

And, in that regard, if you have raw images, you're good as you cannot change the contents of a raw (or DNG) image. However, if you are working on jpg images, make changes, and save the originals, you cannot go back to the original image. That's easier to do if you are working on copies rather than originals. So if you are working in jpgs, always do a "Save as..." Keep the originals.
