Bridge 2021 (v11) crashes, will not run.

Same problem here! But with the last 2 versions. I pay for this crap, no answer for any report..... no update helps, no ios update helps, nothing..... as soon as i open the app beachball start to spin and not able to quit, just with Activity Monitor force quit!!!!!  

Hi Mark,

Nope. I have an iMac running the same OS and Bridge is running fine.

There are several things that you do not say. For example, when you start Bridge, does it bound in the Dock and then close? Is there a Crash Log appearing (plase do not bother to send me any crash log, I can't read them). Does it open, but does it crash when you try to open an image? Do any other Adobe Applications crash?

Obviously crashing is not good but there probably are some things on your end that need to be taken care of.

Things to try: 

1) Did you give Permission for Bridge to function and access across all parts of Catalina (this is an issue that Apple created). If not follow this:

Go to your System Preferences and select Security and Privacy (found in the top section). Now click on the Privacy setting (last tab). Now click on the lock on the bottom left and provide your Administrator code. Now select the Full Disk Access option and click on the "+" symbol. This will bring up the standard Mac Open window and let you add any application you want or need to have full access. Look for Bridge, select it, it will now appear in that window and make sure it's checked. Next go to the Files and Folders option and do the same thing as above (although there's nothing to check, just add. Close everything down and see if that makes it all work.

Please let me know

If this is not an issue, have you rebuilt your Preferences?

(Quit Bridge and when double-clicking to restart, hold the Shift-Option-Command keys at the same time. A window will pop up asking if you want to rebuild the Preferences, say yes.

If that doens't work I suggest you uninstall and reinstall Bridge from the ACC icon in your menu bar. (Depending on MANY things, occasionally an instillation goes wonky. 

Good luck!
