Cannot import RAW files since I upgraded to Yosemite

I used to import RAW files using iPhoto from my T3 Canon camera but since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) and iPhoto 9.6 I cannot do this anymore. I have reinstalled the OS, applied all the RAW upgrades and even deleted and installed iPhoto again but raw photos cannot be successfully imported. Additionally, OS X becomes unstable after trying to import Raw files. I have the same problem in two different PCs (a Mac mini, a MacBook Pro) as a result, I have concluded that there is a problem with the RAW compatibility drivers. How can I convince Apple that there is something wring with their drivers?

Start by letting them know:
iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
Then try reinstall the Raw Support. This thread
RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
explains how to do that.

I have a new camera and cannot import RAW files into lightroom.

I have a new Sony NEX 5 and have tried importing the ARW files into lightroom. The files are recognized when I import photos from device. When I choose the .arw files to import, I receive an message "unknown errors occurred" and files won't import. I have never had a problem importing files from a card or directly from my older camera. Any suggestions?

Check here to see if your camera is supported yet.
If its a camera launched in the last month it won't be. But you can try LR 3.2 RC and see if it has been added. Otherwise you will have to wait until LR supports the format. This is a problem caused by manufacturers constantly using their own formats which require Adobe to investigate every new format before adding it to LR. In 99.99% of the cases the so called new format from the manufacturers is just a line of code with the name of the camera in it. You can use a EXIF editor tool (just google, lots of free ones) to change the name in the RAW file to one presently supported and then convert to DNG. If you do go down this road then ensure you also keep a copy of the original files just in case something has actually changed.
If you are still using LR 2.7 and the format you need was introduced with LR 3 you don't need to upgrade, you can just use Adobes standalone converter to convert the files to DNG and then import them.

CANNOT import RAW files from CANON 40D to Lightroom 1.2

My color setup in 40D is sRGB
my system is windows XP
but when I want to import files from my CF card
it will show the message: some import operation were not performed.
the files use an unsupported color mode.
pls tell me how to solve this problem~

Sorry for the above post. My daughter hit the keyboard. I am having the same trouble and I have tried shooting in Standard Raw and with the attached Jpg. I get a message that states it is a unsupported color format. Any ideas? It sounds like everyone else has got this to work but it simply will not work for me. I am running Vista if that makes a difference.

IPhoto cannot import RAW files

I am using the latest version of iPhoto (9.1.5), and have installed all RAW updates. I shoot a Nikon D300s and Panasonic Lumix LX-3. RAW images from both are supposedly supported by iPhoto, but neither will import. I have looked in iPhoto's Preferences, but cannot find anything. I assumed import and recognition would be automatic.
Any ideas?

Can you open them in Preview?

Cannot import RAW files from Nikon D70

I have an iMac G5 running Leopard 10.5.2. When I try to import to iPhoto '08 from my Nikon D70, I get a message that says "The volume for DSC-xxxx.NEF cannot be found." The program then stalls and I have to force quit to get out of it. This happens whether trying to import photos from a card reader or from a desktop folder. I've tried re-installing both iPhoto and NIkon software to no avail. Any suggestions?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

PSE11: How to import Raw files from Canon Powershot SX60 HS Bridge Camera? [was: Dear Sir,]

I have just purchased a Canon Powershot SX60 HS Bridge Camera. I have Photoshop Elements 11 and I cannot import Raw files. How do I download the latest version of Camera Raw into Elements 11?
T.W. Gasby

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
With Elements 11 you cannot.
The SX60 HS was first supported in Camera Raw 8.7 which is only compatible with Elements 13 and later.
Options:
Pay to upgrade to Elements 13
Free option: download the Adobe DNG converter, convert all SX60 HS Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Elements 11
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)

PSE 8 cannot open RAW files

I use Canon 1000D and S90.
I have an iMac with PSE 8 installed.
I download the RAW files via an USB cable and acces them via the hard drive.
When I double click on a CR2 file in Bridge, PSE 8 states that it does not recognize this type of file.
I searched the Adobe FAQ / help sections and followed the instructions given there, i.e. deleted the Camera Raw plug-in and re-installed PSE8.
Consequently, I now have Camera Raw Version 6.2.0.29.
However, I still cannot acces RAW files.
In addition to PSE 8 I have LR3 (version 3.4.1) installed with Camera Raw 6.4.1. - I cannot import RAW files here either (I am a complete novice in LR3).
Checked for updates in both programs and downloaded and installed all available.
Suggestions on how to solve this will be very much appreciated.

In Bridge I double click on the CR2 file - and it is not recognised in PSE 8.
If I skip the Bridge part (and close Bridge down) and attempt to open directly from PSE 8 via File - open I can see the picture, but it is sort of dimmed (like in not active or accesible).
The two options below say:
Enable: All readable documents
Format: Photoshop Raw
The option "Open" is dimmed out and not available.
If I change the Enable option till "All documents" - the CR2 file is not dimmed, however, the "open" button is still not active.

Lightroom 5 importing raw files

I cannot import raw files from my Nikon D7100. There is a plug-in to allow this but I cannot find where it is to install it. Can anyone help? My version of LR5 is up-to-date. I am using a Mac OS 10.8 and installed LR5 from a download from Adobe yesterday. I can imprt raw files from my Nikon D80 but not the D7100. The files are all on my hard drive.

No plug-in is needed to import RAW files from a Nikon D7100 to LR5.
However, if you have used certain versions of Nikon software to move the photos from the camera to a hard disk, then this may be interfering, and causing LR to not recognize the photos. The solution is to import directly from the camera card to Lightroom (if the photos are still on the camera card), or if not try http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

Can't import RAW files into iPhoto 6 Library from Nikon D700

For whatever reason I am unable to import RAW files from my Nikon D700 into my iPhoto 6 (version 6.0.6) Library. I can import JPEGs from the D700, but it's no-go with the RAW files. When I attempt to import the RAW files I get the following message:
"Unreadable Files
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
Can anybody solve this mystery for me?

I presume that the economically-priced Mac Box Set containing OS X 10.5.6 Leopard, iLife '09, and iWork '09 would be the way to go. Do you concur?
Well that's the cheapest way to do it. You could, of course, buy a new Mac
Do you feel that my 20" Intel iMac--details listed below--would have any problems handling the upgraded programs?
It will have no problems with the updated OS or applications.
'm uneasy at the thought of upgrading my operating system, but I presume that chances of running into problems are much less than if I were upgrading a Windows OS. In case a problem arises my entire hard drive is backed up with a 1T external hard drive using SuperDuper software, but I prefer not to encounter a situation requiring me to use it for restoration purposes.
The key to any update or upgrade is to make sure that you have a good working back up. That way, should anything go wrong, you have a quick way back to where you started.
My tips for upgrading the OS? Disconnect the disk with the back up and all other peripherals when you do the Upgrade. Pop the disk in. Do a standard Upgrade. (There are some folks who swear that you should wipe your HD and start over from scratch before you do, but, frankly, that's overkill. I've been upgrading Macs since 1992 and never had a problem.

Lightroom 4 does not import RAW files from D610

I've just purchased Nikon D610, and my Lightroom 4 is not importing RAW files anymore. What is the problem?

The current version of LR 5 is 5.7 so I’d guess LR 6 will be out at some point later this year, in the next few months. If money’s no object then upgrade to LR 5, now and to LR 6 in a few months. If you’ll be very upset to learn you’ve paid $80 to upgrade and then need to pay another upgrade fee for LR 6 then maybe wait and do the DNG thing for a few months, and then upgrade from LR4 to LR6.
The other concern is whether your OS is new enough. I’d suggest you download the latest LR 5.7.1 update and run that in trial mode for a few weeks—you have 30 days, to make sure your computer can handle it, before spending the money and finding out you need a new computer, first.
The other thing to consider is the $10/month Photography Plan subscription which gets you the most up-to-date versions of Lightroom and Photoshop as long as you keep paying. Since you have your old LR4 serial number, you can decide to cancel the subscription after a year and use the LR4 serial number to buy the LR 6 upgrade, then. This assumes that LR 6 will be available as a serial-number-licensed product, still.
The latest LR 5.7.1 update is here:

IPhoto 09 can't import RAW file (.CR2) from Canon G10 Camera

Every time I try to import a RAW image on my G10 camera (the file extension is .CR2) into iPhoto, the program says that the file is in an unrecognized format. Yet the OS and I believe iPhoto supports RAW from the Canon G10. I have updated my software. Does anyone know why I cannot import this file?

Since the G10 support came with the 10.5.7 update download and reapply 10.5.7 COMBO Update again followed by a repair of disk permissions. See if that will jump start the import.

Problems importing raw files from nikon d610

My lightroom 4.4 will not import raw files from my new nikon d610. I downloaded the converted but cannot get that to work either.
Please help

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The above link provides the full list of camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom. You will note that support for the Nikon D610 was introduced in Lightroom 5.3.
You have a couple of options
a. Upgrade your version of Lightroom to version 5, the latest update is LR 5.4. This will provide support for your raw NEF files from your camera. (LR 4 will not have any further updates)
b. Download the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.4 and convert the NEF files to DNG format and you can then import the DNG files into Lightroom 4. (retain copies of your NEF files for use with the Nikon software or other software that may not read DNG files.)
Quote " I downloaded the converted but cannot get that to work either.
Please help" If you are referring to the Adobe DNG Converter if is possible that if you used an older version of Nikon Software to transfer the files from your camera to the computer the files may have been rendered unreadable by Adobe Software.

Lightroom refuses to import RAW files.

Hello,
I have Lightroom version 1.4.1 (just downloaded the update), and cannot upload RAW files from my Canon 20D or 5D. What happens is that Lightroom will either:
(1) Upload just 12-15 files, then freeze up. The light on my camera stops glowing red and it says "busy" on the camera LCD display. After waiting 30 minutes I get the spinning rainbow ball on the screen. When I try a "Force Quit" Lightroom does not respond at all.
-or-
(2) Nothing at all happens! No images are uploaded, Lightroom freezes up and the camera does nothing.
My setup is an Intel PowerMac with 8 gigs of memory, 3 1TB drives, and an Nvidia GFX 8800 graphics card. I am using OSX 10.5.4.
I tried deleting the plist file at least 3-4 times, tried different cards in either of the cameras, and I always get the same results.
Help!

David
Finally I found someone with the same problem I've been experiencing in the last 3 months.
This problem actually started after on LR 1.4.1 but
after I upgraded to LR 2.0, it now freezes half way on import just like you described, it actually take the OS hostage and not even force quit works, I have to force the system to shut down by pressing the power button.
Then I tried to see if I could import with Bridge and I ran into the same problem and had to take the same action.
I have switched cards, card readers and USB ports (used the front and back ports) but nothing seem to work.
But when I use Image Capture to import raw files, it works fine, no problems there.
I also upgraded the PS3/Bridge Camera Raw to the most recent version to be compatible with the LR 2.0 version.
I also have the 20D and 5D but I use card readers instead of plugging the camera directly into the computer.
It seems the problem is the way Leopard reads XMP data, that's something I found on a forum somewhere and it looks like Apple has not addressed this issue yet.
I'm running Leopard on a 2.8 Gig / 8 core and 4GIGs of ram.
For now, my solution to this problem is to import raw files from the card reader using Image Capture and down load them into my LR library.
That's my 2 cents
