Thanks,

Hi tracyatlarge,

Could you please check the permissions on Bridge's folder in User library?

Hi Sahil,

I'm having the same problem. Re checking the permissions in Bridge's folder in the user library - how do you do that? Would you mind giving a step-by-step for idiots, please? 🙂

Hi All,

Can you please confirm that you are using Bridge CC 2017. If not, can you please update to this version and check for launch issue.

There was an issue reported with older version on Bridge, on new Mac OSX version. The Bridge launch, the app icon used to jump on dock bar area and then applictaion was quitting automatically after some time (without any UI appearing on screen).

Some of these Bridge launch issues were fixed in Bridge CC 2017. Please try this version.

Also, the steps to reset the Bridge preferences are given on following web page https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/troubleshoot-errors-freezes-bridge.html

Troubleshoot Adobe Bridge for errors and freezes

Yes, Deepak. I am running the latest version of CC for Bridge, Photoshop and Lightroom. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Bridge a couple of times.

[janehobson]

And yes, I've done steps one and two, and can't do steps three onwards because they have to be done from within Bridge and the problem is that it won't open!

Hi janehobson,

Seems like this is a different issue. I am connecting with you over email to collect more information.

Thanks,

Deepak Gupta

Same thing happening to me with Adobe Bridge CC 2017. Installed Sierra, on 2102 MacBookPro. Tieid all of the above but Bridge fails to launch - just bounces and stops.

Bridge 2015 works fine.
