Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?
Error message that it does not support cr. file

Which version of Lightroom?
As Hal points out, if it's pre v 4.1, you can't expect an old version of the software to know what to do with a camera that didn't even exist when the software was released.
Given how many times a day this same issue comes up, maybe it's time Adobe changed the error message to something like "your camera is too old to be supported by this version of Lightroom. Please upgrade" or similar...

When Im trying to import photos Lightroom says it not all import results are possible.
As DJ suggests, that's probably not the exact wording. Can we have that, please?
Still need your OS and Lightroom version too.

How to import Raw files from the Canon 5D Mark III into PSE12? [was: cr2]

I have Photoshop Elements 12 and I can't import Canon 5D Mark III CR2 files.

Not sure what you mean by view the photos? Are they showing in the camera raw dialog when you choose a CR2 file from the menu in expert mode:
File >> Open
What computer and operating system are you using?
Can you try shooting a couple of new CR2 files and then put them into a folder on your hard drive rather than the external drive. Can you import from that location using the Organizer menu:
File >> Get photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders

Not able to open raw files from my CAnon 5D mark III in PS CS6!

I have camera raw 8.6 installed and am running photoshop cs 6.0. All of a suddened photoshop will not open raw pictures that were shot on a CAnon 5D mark III. Any ideas on what could be the problem. The pictures do open in light room.
Thanks

What exactly happens when you try to open raw files from Canon 5D Mark III in PS CS6. Do you get any error message? An error screenshot would help.
Make sure your PS CS6 is up-to-date from Help > Updates.
Restart the machine and retry.

Why are my raw files from my Canon 5D Mark III dim in Lightroom 4.3?

I am brand new to Lightroom, still reviewing various basic instruction videos, however I am adept in Photoshop CS5 and CS6. I have been able to import and move a file of jpegs but as I shoot jpeg/raw combo, the raw files were left behind in the original file. I can now bring them up, but they are dim and cannot appear to do anything w/them. I would like to move them to the file where I put the accompanying jpegs, but am having no success in finding an answer on how to do this. Nothing seems to activite to let me do this. Along w/this, I generally tend to work straight from camera raw files, the jpegs are generally not used, thus when LR encourages me to work on the jpegs, I'm not interested. I wish to process my raw files and only move to PS6 if I need to do some more intensive work. Can anyone offer a suggestion?

Here's my guess, based upon your description.
When the RAW photos are "dim", you are in the Import Dialog box, and the default operation of the Import is to not let you import a photo if it has been previously imported.
If that's the case, then you have misunderstood a basic operation of Lightroom. You import your photos once, and from then on, you access them via the Library Module, not the Import dialog. So, go to the Library Module and see if your RAWs are present or not.
Side comment: your workflow seems to be import then move. This is unneccessary, creating two steps for you when one will suffice. When you do the import, you also tell LR the destination where the photos should wind up (it's on the right hand side of the Import dialog box), and LR will do the import and the move in one step.

Does anyone know when Aperture will support RAW files from the Canon Eos 7D mkii?

Does anyone know when Aperture will support RAW files from the Canon Eos 7D mkii?

Only Apple knows. The never announce upcoming RAW support in advance, sorry. And if anybody knew, it would not be allowed to post this information here.

Is there a plug-in that will allow me to view CR2 (raw) files from a Cannon 5D Mark III to PSE 9 ?

is there a plug-in that will allow me to view CR2 (raw) files from a Cannon 5D Mark III to PSE 9 ?

The 5D.3 was first supported in ACR 6.7 which you need PSE 10 to use, so there is no plug-in for PSE9 that will allow opening the files from a camera newer than when PSE9 became obsolete.
Besides getting PSE12, assuming it is supported on your current computer—check the specs, you can use the free DNG Converter available from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
to convert your CR2 files to DNG files that are compatible with older versions of ACR. Be sure to set your DNGC compatibility settings to a version old enough to be openable with PSE 10’s ACR.
As far as whether the OP is serious, it doesn’t hurt to ask the question before spending money on something you didn’t need.

Hi. I have Lightroom 4 installed. I cannot download my CR2 files from the Canon 5D Mark III camera. I have downloaded Lightroom 5 thinking it was an update but it appears I have to pay for the program. Any ideas how I can get lightroom 4 to accept my CR2

The Canon 5D Mk 111 was supported from LR 4.1, see the link below. Just update LR to the latest version. See link below

How can I import Raw files from a canon eos 6d?

How can I import RAW files from a Canon Eos 6D into aperture?

Doesn;t look like the 6d is supported yet. I'm surprised, thought it would have been in the latest update, 4.02.
In the meantime you can shot RAW+JPG and use the JPG's now and then switch to the RAW's once it is supported or else you an convert the RAWs to DNG using Adobe's converter and import the DNGs.
While I can't say for sure Canon cameras are usually supported fairly quickly so hopefully you won't have to much longer to wait.

And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

Lightroom 5 won't import RAW files from Nikon D7000

Since the last two updates of Lightroom 5 I cannot import any RAW files from a Nikon D7000. I have imported thousands of photos previously in RAW from the same camera, and even iPhoto has no issues importing them. I just get an error every time, even though it shows a preview of the photos on the card.

What error are you seeing when you try to import?

Can't import RAW files from a Canon EOS 450D

Hi there, I have a number of photos that I have taken in RAW & JPeg. The Jpeg are importing fine into Aperture, but the RAW files are just coming in as completely black images. Is there an option I need to select to get these in properly. Thanks in advance

Have you tried Digital Photo Professional? I found with my XS (1000D) that the RAWS from RAW+JPEG simply do not work, even in DPP. The solution was to use RAW only.

RAW files from my Canon 7D Mark II camera do not show thumbnails when stored on my iMac computer even though I have Photoshop CC 14.2 and Camera RAW 8.7

How do i resolve this problem? TIFF files show the thumbnails just fine, just not the RAW files. My old Canon 7D was fine with RAW files showing thumbnails also.

Which version of mac os x are you using?
They show here in photoshop 14.2.1 in the open dialog as well as in finder on mac os x 10.10
I believe the operating system provides the thumbnails and not photoshop.

Can't import RAW files from Canon Powershot S50.

iPhoto6 will not import RAW files from my Canon Powershot S50. It says the files are "unreadable". Image capture will import to the desktop, but neither iPhoto nor Photoshop Elements can open the file. I checked and the S50 is supposed to be compatible with OSX and RAW files.

I agree but I was responding to someone with an S50. That's hardly an "advanced amateur" camera. iPhoto has some rather neat catalog features but the editing is purely for the snapshooter. Heck, I suspect that redeye removal is the most popular feature and, as far as I'm concerned, if you have redeye to begin with, you're a snapshooter.
I'm an extremely advanced amateur with my film setup but, because of cost, I'm still a snapshooter with my digital camera. My film setup is two Nikon N80s with a top-of-the-line Nikon flash head that I use only with a Stroboframe bracket. The bracket and the necessary extension cord cost me nearly $200! My lenses are pure Nikon, including a single focal length f/1.8, 85 mm. portrait lens.
I consider 10 MP to be the bare minimum for "advanced amateur" shooting and both Canon and Nikon have recently introduced 10MP SLRs in the $1000 range. However, I'm waiting for the next advance - an SLR without the reflex mechanism - interchangeable lenses and an FP shutter but no mirror! Let's face it, the reflex mechanism adds cost but a digital screen gives the same view and even better (you can see the color balance) and screens are now available that can be viewed in bright sunlight.
I'm also hoping for one thing that will probably never happen - physically larger CCDs so that I can get the same focus control (small depth of field) that I can get with my film camera.

Why does not Apple allows iPhone to be sync by two different computers ?

I have a pc at home and one in office. But I can only sync it with my home pc. Why does not apple allow iPhones to be sync by atleats two pcs as having different pc for work and home is very general.

It is possible to sync from multiple libraries manually on other devices (iPads & iPods) so blanket statements that 'it's DRM' don't really make sense to me.
If it is the only reason why can't non DRM'd content be copied?
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
See step 6, iPods & iPads have fewer restrictions compared to iPhones.
Perhaps we would have a better idea if it wasn't all wrapped up in thousands of words spread between the multiple terms & conditions agreements.

You will need to read those terms & get legal help if you can't work it out titan_sifu, good luck.
