Bridge does not open

With the new computer, have you given Permissions to Bridge to access external drives?

If not, please try the following:

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

Moved to the Bridge forum, from the Photoshop forum.

The first thing to try is to reset Preferences for Adobe Bridge. 

• Quit Bridge
• Open PS
• Hold down Cmd+Opt+Shift as you go to File > Open Bridge

You can also do this from the Dock

• Quit Bridge
• Press and hold Cmd+Opt+Shift+Control, then launch Bridge from the Dock (Control is the shortcut for right-click)

Click all the checkboxes in the dialog, then click Okay.

Can you also check to see which version of Bridge you are opening from Bridge menu > About. If you are running an older version of Bridge with a newer version of PS, that can cause trouble. See if there is an update in the Creative Cloud app.

If none of this works, try uninstalling from the CC app, then reinstall.

Let us know if this works or if you need more help.
