Connecting Adobe Photoshop with Bridge

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. I’d love to help you figure that out. We are here to help.

Could you please share the version of Adobe Bridge & Photoshop (Help > About Bridge & Help > About Photoshop) and the specific macOS version you are working on? Have you recently updated Adobe Bridge or Photoshop, or the operating system? Has it started to happen after? Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

Please ensure Photoshop is up to date by following this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/uptodate.html

Please ensure Photoshop & Bridge have permissions needed on the Mac by following the steps suggested below:  

1.  Go to the System Preferences for your Mac, then Security and Privacy, then select the Privacy tab.  
2. Then select Accessibility from the list to the left. Check if Photoshop & Bridge are added to the list with a checkmark in front of it.  
3. If Photoshop & Bridge are not a part of the list, please add it by unlocking the window first using the lock at the bottom left, then clicking the + icon & navigating to the Applications folder.  
4. Also, grant permissions to Photoshop & Bridge under Full disk access found in the same list as Accessibility. It should look as shown below for Lightroom Classic. In your case, it has to be identical for Photoshop & Bridge.
   
5. Once done, restart the Mac & check if it helps.
