Photoshop won't open my raw files and Bridge won't show thumbnails

Hi,
I'm having trouble with my Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 on my Mac. It's been working fine until a few days ago, but now the image thumbnails won't load in Bridge, and I'm not able to open RAW-files in Photoshop (same thing happens when opening both from Bridge or in Finder).
When trying to open the files in Photoshop a pop up message shows up saying this:
"Photoshop cannot open this file.
If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates.
If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111"
I'm not able to click on updates, so that won't help me much. What can I do to get it back to normal again?

I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on. I use FastPictureViered Codec Package, When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for. Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06

Camera raw won't open my raw files from bridge. Mac user, camera, Nikon D800, latest camera raw update is installed. Help!!

I don't get a photo preview in bridge of my raw files, just the NEF file thing. Then when I click to open them I get a message that says: "If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates" "If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111". I can't seem to figure out what to do! Help Please!?

Usually the problem with a newer Nikon camera is that the NEF files have been transferred or viewed with obsolete Nikon software, like Nikon Transfer for View NX, and those change something in the header of the raw file that makes it unrecognizable to Adobe products.
For new images, the solution is to either stop using Nikon products to transfer and view your files or update your Nikon products to be as new as your camera.
There is a utility to fix this particular corruption here:

CS2 USED to open my raw files, and now it doesn't. HELP!

This is probably addressed somewhere but Ive looked and have been unable to find an answer to my specific problem.
I previously had an imac G5 with CS2. I purchased a new camera (Canon 5D) and the computer had no trouble opening and editing raw files. WEll...computer crashed, I bought a new computer, installed CS2 and low and behold, I no longer seem to have Camera Raw. Where did it go? No amount of downloading plugins will help, since I don't have it in the first place. I get an error message "Photoshop does not recognize this type of file" both when I try to open a RAW file AND when I try to install a camera raw plugin.
I am so frustrated. I have piles of shoots to edit and I'm falling behind. PLEASE HELP.

The Canon 5D needs ACR 3.3. A fresh installation of PS will have a lower version. You can confirm this by looking in PS Help > About Plug-in...
You must download the latest 3.x version and install it exactly following the instructions.

Am useing a PC. Have Photoshop CS5, suddenly cannot move Raw files from bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop. Jpeg move into photoshop ok, did get error message 1 what do I do to correct this om bridge (or anywhere else for that matter)

Useing a PC
Have Photoshop CS5
Suddenly cannot move Raw Files from Bridge (or anywhere else) into photoshop.
I Can move Jpegs into ps the only issue is with Raw files
I did get error1 message but as do not know what that means its no help
any suggestions?

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Software update won't open, or App Store, and Mail won't let me select messages.

Hello,
Moutain Lion is playing up on my machine. Software update won't open, or App Store, and Mail won't let me select messages. Everything else takes at least 20 seconds to open fully.
Any ideas on what to do here?
Cheers,
George

Lightroom won't open my RAW files in Photoshop

I've had this problem for a few months now, but I thought I'd test the waters and see if there's anyone out there who can help me now. Here is a video of what happens when I try to open ANY raw file from ANY camera type in Lightroom to edit in Photoshop. This happens if I go through the menus or if I control+e to open them.
Photoshop CC Opening RAW Problem - vidme
I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I have reinstalled PS first and LR second like some have suggested. I've gone as far as reformatting my ENTIRE computer TWICE with two different OS versions and installing LR+PS on those versions, still no luck. My workaround has been editing the RAW files in LR, saving the metadata, then navigating to the folder in finder and opening the RAW files directly into PS. That works, but is horribly inefficient.
Anyone have any ideas? I am on the latest versions of LR and PS with my CC subscription.

Camera Raw won't open certain JPG files from Bridge, others open in ACR with no problem.

Edit: This was orignally posted in the Photoshop > Macintosh forum, which I failed to realize was read only. Thanks to a PM headsup, I'm reposting it here. Thanks
I've searched the internet and the Adobe forums and cannot find a direct answer to what I'm dealing with.
The issue I am having is that Bridge CS5 (current version 4.0.5.11) will open some JPG images in Raw with no problem and others nothing happens at all. All the images come from the same source (Fujifilm Frontier SP2000) so I really don't understand why Bridge ignores some of them as being openable in RAW. For example, say this roll of film has 36 images. If I "Select All", right click, and select "Open in Camera Raw", it will open whichever it deems acceptable in RAW and nothing happens at all to the others (The RAW dialog will, for instance, only open 10 images instead of all 36, and the remaining images are not altered in any way).
I've made sure that Photoshop is prefering Adobe Camera Raw with Supported Raw Files and in Camera Raw Preferences I have the box ticked to Automatically open JPGs with Settings but nothing helps.
My work around is to one file at a time in the Photoshop Open dialog, selecting an affected JPG file and have it open them as Camera Raw instead of Jpeg.
Any ideas? It's done this for quite a while and I have no idea how to fix it.
Thanks.

What camera generated your Canon raw files.
A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.

When I open several Raw files and edit one, the others disappear

Sometimes I open numerous raw files simultaneously and they appear on the left in a sidebar. Then I choose one to edit and when finished the others have disappeared and I have to load them again. Is there a keystroke that will bring them back without entirely reloading? Are they still in PSE but hidden? This seems like peculiar and poor design. (Mac version)

Using Preview is quite simple. I open the group of files I want to view and edit. I select one and drag it on top of the PSE icon in the dock, and it opens in the PSE raw editor. When I've saved the file I simply click on the Preview dock icon to return to that app. and repeat the select-and-drag to PSE. Preview provides a full screen display of file icons for the files I want to edit, so it is quite quick and transparent.
I don't necessarily want to Open a file; I might simply Save it from the raw editor. If I have 10 raw files, five of which I want to edit and Open, 3 of which I don't want to edit, and 2 of which I want to Save within the raw editor, the simplicity you describe disappears. Using my Preview-to-PSE scheme, I work on one file at a time and dispose of it when done. I don't have to keep track of which file needs what disposition, as seems to be the case in the process you describe. Please correct me where I'm mistaken.

Photoshop CS5 won't open my RAW files???

Hi there.
I recently bought a Canon EOS 70 D for university and am taking new photos for school with my RAW capabilities. Every time I try to open them in Photoshop I get the error message "adobe photoshop could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of camera raw"
I updated photoshop and camera raw and I did check that my camera is on the list of supported cameras. I don't understand what else to do.

Support for that camera was added in Camera Raw 8.2: Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
However, CS5 cannot be updated beyond 6.7: Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?

Creative Cloud won't open T3i RAW files .cr2

I have camera raw updated to 8 and photoshop is updated to 14.1. I don't know what I am missing. When I try to open them it gives me this window.
I can't open them in bridge either and I have tried on two different computers. Can anyone help? Thank you.

The T3i (600D) has been supported for years, long before CC arrived - so updating 14.1 to 14.2 won't help. There's something wrong with your installation; suggest uninstalling and reinstalling Ps.

Does Photoshop CS6 support Nikon D810 raw files?

Does Photoshop CS6 support Nikon D810 raw files? Photoshop won't allow me to open the raw files and Bridge won't display the files either. I tried to download the camera raw plug-in 8.6 but read somewhere that Photoshop CS6 doesn't support it? HELP!!!

It should. The D810 had support since version 8.6. (A relative newcomer.) Did you use Help > Updates on the menu bar?
Take note that the updates for Camera Raw in CS6 only supports updates for cameras and nothing more. You won't get any of the new features inherent in the versions for Photoshop CC (like the filter brush in the Graduated Filter).
