Bridge CS4 will not update to Camera Raw 5.7 on one of my computers.

Bridge (CS4) will properly display my Nikon NEFs (from my Nikon D3 & D3S) on my old Mac Pro (Lion 10.75) but only the NEFs from the D3 are displayed on the exact same program on my MacBook Pro Retina - Mavericks).
I have followed Adobe's instructions perfectly, over and over again, but no matter what I try (and I did try some variations) I cannot update from Camera RAW Preferences.Version 5.0.0.178 on the MacBookPro Retina.
The Camera RAW preferences Version on the older Mac Pro computer's identical copy of Bridge CS4 is Version 5.7.0.213.
I tried opening and installing a download of Camera_Raw_5_7.dmg from Adobe and I also tried dropping in the Camera Raw plugin file from the older computer but nothing works. I have emptied the cache several times.
I dont know if this is significant but when I first started trying to do this, I could not find the Plug-Ins folder in the Adobe file on the MacBook Pro Retina, so I copied the one from the Mac Pro's Adobe folder.
Please help. I can only use Bridge on my older desktop computer because of this problem.
Thank you.
Jan

Well, Jan, over the years I've helped many Mac users with this precise problem, and I even posted screen shots showing the path to the correct plug-in folder for ACR.  However, in your case all those images won't help and I won't be able to generate new ones for you for one simple reason: I do not use Mavericks and never will because my Mac Pro desktops cannot go above Lion, FORTUNATELY. Mavericks is still cr@p at this point.
All I can do is try to clarify a few misconceptions for you:

…I read that about the root level library when I first tried to follow the instructions from Adobe and I thought that I was doing exactly that. Instead of the library associated with my name, I found the library associated with my hard drive. I suspect that I have not yet even seen the root level library…
Jan, that is the ROOT LEVEL Library.
Getting back to your advice, I do not understand what you mean by mounting the .dmg file as if it were a DVD or external hard drive.
I mean just that.  A Disk Image file (.dmg) is a virtual disk, like a virtual DVD.  You double click on that file in the Finder and it will then mount just as if you had inserted a DVD into your computer.  It will then show you the contents it carries.  I will not be at my computers for a few weeks, so I can't be sure about all that the Disk Image for that update shows; but somewhere in there will be the ACR Plug-in.  That's what you need to copy from the Disk Image to your hard drive and install it in its correct location, NOT THE BLOODY .dmg file, for goodness sakes!
Do you understand that once you are at the ROOT LEVEL Library you DO NOT go to the Plug-ins folder therein?  Read the instructions again.  What you want is to continue the path through the Application Support folder /Adobe / Plug-ins / etc.
This old screen shot may help. Command or Control-Click on the thumbnail to see the full image in a new window, then scroll horizontally; it is a VERY wide image:
Also, if I delete the Plug-ins folder that I copied from my other computer's installation of Bridge CS4. Should I reinstall the entire CS4 suite from the original disks and start all over again. If so, I read somewhere that I will need to somehow deactivate my serial number from the products as installed on my MacBook Pro so that I may reinstall it.
Delete anything you may have copied yourself only if you are 100% sure what that is. But DO NOT REINSTALL ANYTHING without first uninstalling using the Adobe UNINSTALLER that was installed in your Utilities folder inside your Applications folder.
Whatever possessed you to go around copying folders from a different Mac OS version? ???  That is insane! Geez…
Why the heck do you keep talking about Bridge? ??? !!!  Bridge has absolutely NOTHING to do with the installation of ACR.  NOTHING!
ACR is installed at the OS level and can be hosted indistinctly by Photoshop or by Bridge from the same location.
Bridge is totally out of the loop in this discussion, just as it is when you are using ACR hosted by Bridge.  All Bridge does is call upon the appropriate application, whether this be Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), Illustrator or even Microsoft Word and hand it the file, period.  You could use ACR for years without ever launching Bridge, even without having Bridge installed. Ever.

  • PS CS6 will not update to Camera Raw 7.2

    I have a fully licenesed version of CS6, along with LR 4.x. LR updated to Camera Raw 7.2 about a week ago. PS CS6 (extended 64) will not find the update. It is a pain in my sitter every time I go to edit a photo to see a warning. I do not want to hide the warning though. I want the update. Any thoughts... Adobe has about an hour wait time for technical support. A reinstall is not something I would like to do. Thanks in advance.

    What happens when you choose Help - Updates... from within Photoshop itself?  Anything?
    There's a manual installation package available...  I scared these links up from other forum threads.  I'm not sure where there "official" page is.  They seem to be changing policies as we go along.

  • My CS5 will not update to Camera Raw 6.7.

    When I run the updater, continue to get error saying my product does not have valid serial number.  Adobe says my version is registered.  What gives?

    This link is for Creative Cloud products, but a lot of it would come under the heading of 'The bleeding obvious'.

    This is more of a catch all CS5 trouble shoot guide
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-installation-cs5-cs5-5.html
    Incidentally, and sorry if this also comes under bleeding obvious, but to restrict Google to where you want it to look, use the following syntax
    site: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop  followed be search parameters
    If you have ever registered your CS5, you can log onto your Adobe account and check your serial number against the one you will find in 'My orders'.
    But it might come down to phoning customer support, but make that your very last resort
    Good luck, and please let us know what fixes it.

  • Bridge CS4 will not Launch

    Recently I tried to upgrade my Mac G4 Tower from OS 10.4 to OS 10.5 and it failed, even though I met all requirements. I had to reinstall 10.4 and now Bridge CS4 will not launch.  It worked fine before. I uninstalled PS CS4 and reinstalled it, I tossed prefs & cash files, I reset prefs but still no luck. Any suggestions before I strip down the whole HD and start from scratch?

    Any suggestions before I strip down the whole HD and start from scratch?
    My first go would be to buy a new HD and replace this with your current in
    the G4 and give a clean install of 10.5 to try if it will work.
    If you downgraded without a clean install from scratch you sure will end up
    with conflicting settings for applications.
    You could try to back up all custom settings, actions, tools etc and then
    deactivate the suite with erase serial number.
    Then find the clean tool for Adobe
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
    and run this script, it says CS5 but to my knowledge it also finds files for
    the CS3 and CS4 suite. Do a search for any adobe files from user and system
    library and delete those also. Then install the CS4 suite again.
    But again to be honest, you are using a computer that in current digital
    terms dates from the 'stone age' and in now way can cope with the needs for
    the use of digital files nowadays. It might be wiser to try and find a used
    MacPro (or even a used iMac with intel processor) that will give you much
    more profit in speed, disk space and processing  instead of investing more
    time and money in new disks and install procedures...

  • I just installed elements 11 with camera raw 7.1. My  photos from iPhoto will not open in camera raw

    I just installed elements 11 with camera raw 7.1 in my iMac. My raw photo files from iPhoto will not open in camera raw. The elements screen opens without a photo, but camera raw willnot open. Help.

    You need to tell iphoto to send raw files out of iphoto or it will make its own conversion and send a pre-converted file. Go to the iphoto preferences>advanced and turn on this checkbox:

  • Tiff previously edited in ACR will not open in Camera RAW from Bridge

    Yes, I have googled this and found instances going back to 2010 with no satisfactory answer. I have Photoshop 5.1 and the latest ACR and Bridge that work with it. 2011 MAC Mini 10.8.2.
    I scanned a landscape oriented printed email image at 800 spi as a portrait orientation and saved it as a tiff. I opened this tiff in Preview and decided it needed more than minor tweaks so I opened it in ACR from Bridge, made a few adjustments and saved it. I thought I could see what I was doing better if it was in landscape orientation again so I opened it in Preview and rotated 90 deg CCW, saved it as a tiff. Going to Bridge I found Open in Camera Raw greyed out. I went back to Preview to see if I could get what I needed in its Tools while viewing it in landscape. Adjustments took forever this time, so I gave up and took a look at the image characteristics. Rotating in Preview had changed the image size to 3.3333...... times larger at 240 ppi still aRGB, still a tiff. This has never happened before, including slow adjustments
    I duplicated the rotated file and changed it back to 800 ppi and normal size, went to Bridge, Camera Raw still greyed out. Original unrotated image
    that had been edited in ACR and saved will still open in ACR.
    All kinds of strange things have happened since updating to 10.8.2, but I don't think this is one of them because of the complaints I have seen that date back to 2010. I did a full maintenance routine, i e cleared RAM, reboot in single user with fsck -fy, repaired permissions, back up with SuperDuper which repairs permissions again. Then I tried Bridge again, original will open, rotated won't.
    Anyone know the answe?

    The answer is that making edits in ACR and saving it creates layers in the tiff and Bridge will then not open it again in ACR unless you flatten it. I still don't know why Preview increased the image size by 3.333.....x or why ACR increased the tiff file size by 2.6x and why the flattened tiff is 2x the file size of the original scan but the image dimensions are the same. This stuff apparently is above the pay grade of anyone in google, too.

  • Adobe Bridge CS4 will not launch ACR

    I'm getting this message when trying to open an image from Bridge CS4 in ACR,
    "Camera raw requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature"
    Any ideas how to cure this, I've downloaded the update 5.2.2., what is the correct location for this? Automatic update is just opening a box withe file in and I cant find the previous.
    By the way ACR opens fine from Photoshop CS4.
    Thanks
    Philip James

    Philip:
    This has been discussed in the Camera Raw Forum: you may need to install the new ACR 5.2 plug-in in the correct place manually.

  • ***Bridge CS4 will not show a preview of my .CR2 files***

    OK...
    I have been searching the internet for a couple hours with no luck. Hopefully someone out there can help...
    Equipment:
         Cannon Rebel Xti
         Adobe CS4
         ACR Plug-in 5.5 (latest update installed in its CORRECT place!)
    When i open Bridge CS4 all my raw or .CR2 files dont have a preview. Im thinking it could be because the adobe website says that my Rebel Xti minimum ACR plugin is version 3.6? But dont all the later versions support it anyway?? So 5.5 should work right?? Im at a loss if you have any insight at all that would be great!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Robert
    Had the same problem this worked for me.
    start up bridge go to preferance/advanced and tick the selection Generate Monitor size previews.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not open Nikon (NEF) raw files.

    I recently tried CS6 Suite.  Trial was over and I went back to Photoshop CS4.  However, it would not open Nikon (NEF) raw files. I uninstalled and re-installed the PS CS4.  This did not fix the problem.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks,

  • Elements 10 does not update the Camera RAW 6.6 file

    I have downloaded Camera RAW 6.6 mul zip file.
    When I try to open it Elements 10 says ERROR. Cannot open this type of file.
    This is the problem

    Hi,
    When you tried the manual instructions, did you get the same error code or a different message?
    The error code U41m1c212 basically means that your PC isn't connecting to the Adobe update server - could be a firewall or anti-virus software problem. Downloading and installing manually should have avoided that connection problem.
    After you downloaded the file, did you unpack it?
    If you go to the top of this page, there is a search box. If you enter U41m1c212 there it will find lots of entries with various suggestions that may help.

  • Bridge CS4 will not open

    Help, a few weeks ago I removed Bridge from my computer, I was looking for hard drive space. It turns out I need it for my Photoshop classes. I have removed and installed Photoshop several times, it says it has installed Bridge, but I do not have a Bridge folder or program, I tried to hold down the control key while starting Bridge, but nothing happens. I really need this program to work. I am using a Pavilion zd800 with P4 3gig, 1 gig memory, 100 gig HD. Thanks, P

    I would uninstall CS4 from the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, then run the  CS4 Clean Script. and finally re-install.

  • When will Lightroom be updated with camera raw 8.7?

    Hi Folks,
    Can anyone tell me when LR will be updated with camera raw 8.7, containing support for the new Nikon D750 camera?
    Many thanks for any feedback

    Until you convert to DNG you wont be able to import the 750 NEFs into Lightroom.
    As I am a Windows user I'm not sure what you mean about Command R but to use the DNG convertor you need to download from the link and install it.
    Then you start up the convertor as a separate application and you will see the following panel:
    Then choose the Images to Convert
    Select a location to save the converted images (defaults to the same location as the input images)
    Rename the images if you so wish (Default is just to creat a file of the same name with DNG extension)
    Then Convert and after the conversion you will be able to import the DNG files into Lightroom 5.6
    Then it doesn't matter if you have Camera RAW 8.7 in CS6 as they will open directly from LR to CS6 as you would normally do.
    I guess it is a little inconvenient because you have an additional step to convert the NEF to DNG but it at least get you there in the meantime while you are waiting for the final LR product.
    Enjoy!

  • Photoshop CS4 will not refresh or update view

    Hello,
    My Photoshop CS4 will not update / refresh the viewport after any change to the layers or settings. The view will only refresh if the view is changed, such as the hand or zoom tool. This makes Photoshop nearly usesless. Did some looking around the net and have seen a few responses to situations similar to this but none of them are regarding a Mac. This is my work computer so you can understand my frustration.
