OS X Yosemite and CS6 Bridge

[trentf]

I think this is the correct section to post this....

I updated to Yosemite last night and everything runs fine except CS6 Bridge.  It crashes when a new folder is opened.   When I open the hard drive where the image folder is Bridge does great loading that content.  Then when I click on a new folder,  it will start its process,  5 or 6 images in it crashes...

 

Any thoughts on how to fix this?  Thank you in advance

No idea how to fix it but on my Mac, Bridge CS6 works perfectly.

Its pretty strange.  It is only CS6 not 5.....

Have you tried to log-in as a different user and see whether Bridge crashes or not?

You can try resetting Bridge preferences. Close Bridge, hold down Command-Option-Shift (PC: Control-Alt-Shift) and then launch Bridge again. A dialog will appear asking what you want to do. Turn on the Reset Preferences checkbox and click OK. Now when Bridge appears, the preferences are factory-fresh.

Another thing to look at is the Bridge image cache. From your description it sounds like it may be corrupted.

Thank you for the input...  I did what you suggested and it still crashes.  If I open a hard drive for example it shows the contents perfect, but once I open a folder and it shows the file names,  it crashes.   I dont know what to do.

Now, if preferences have been reset then I'd try to see if some error messages are displayed in the console (/Applications/utilities/Console.app) before/during/after the crash.

Did you contact the Adobe helpline?

I posted on the Adobe help forum,  no one replied.  I have not contacted them directly.  Which I may have to do. 

I looked at the console,  to be honest I dont understand what I am looking at.   I do see a lot of messages mentioning the Gestalt selector.  Here is an example

11/4/14 2:02:09.645 PM Adobe Bridge CS6[1099]: WARNING: The Gestalt selector gestaltSystemVersion is returning 10.9.0 instead of 10.10.0. Use NSProcessInfo's operatingSystemVersion property to get correct system version number.

I also have a lot of warmings with The Gestalt Selector gestaltSystemVersion… (even with Apple Mail) and Bridge doesn't crash.

I guess that you bet bet is to contact Adobe directly. I'm sorry for not being very helpful.
