Aperture unsupported format

I purchased aperture to work with my RAW photos from my Panasonic Lumix GF-1 which is supposedly supported by the Aperture. After I upload my photos to aperture I get the message that my RAW photos are an unsupported format. I purchased the program about three weeks ago and have tried the updates with no luck. When I look at the photos on Iphoto I can see them. What's up with this?

Do you have the Camera Raw update 3.0.3? Another option would be to convert the images to DNG format with Adobe DNG Converter, a free download from Adobe Labs. Hope this helps

  • Aperture 2 and Unsupported Format After Image Adjustments

    I was making tonal adjustments to a Nikon D3 RAW photo in "Browser Only" view mode. When I closed the adjustments HUD, the image was replaced with the red "Unsupported Format" window. I had to restart Aperture to get back to the photo. Sounds like an interesting bug.
    Anyone else seen this?

    ...this appears to be a common issue - I just posted another message on a similar thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6634081#6634081
    Same issues here: Canon D5, after some editing I was getting the red block; and a restart of Aperture cured it (for now)
    As mentioned in the other thread: maybe it has to do with setting the camera to store both the RAW and a (small) .jpeg? I haven't seen it appear in another series imported just before - and edited just before in Aperture - where the camera only stored the RAW on the card...
    Any more experiences?

  • Aperture suddenly displaying "unsupported format" for Nikon D300s RAW files

    I am using Aperture 3.1.3 on my iMac 24 with Snow Leopard 10.6.8.   A couple of days ago I applied an update for Aperture RAW files that was in my update list, even though I don't use any of the cameras involved. 
    After that update Aperture gives me an "unsupported format" error on all my Nikon D300s RAW files. Every RAW file in the library.  I have never had a problem with this at any time over the last 2+ years of using Aperture.
    I have tried using time machine and rolling Aperture back to the end of July (my most recent backup) along with rolling back the RAW file plist. I then did a repair permissions, and reimported the photos after this.  I have rebooted numerous times.  All to no avail.  I have not yet tried a library rebuild that would be next if I must.
    I use a Referenced library, so I was able to check out individual RAW files with Adobe Camera RAW.   They open fine so there is no file corruption issue. 
    Any thoughts on what might be happening?  Any other file(s) associated with RAW conversion that I might need to roll back?   I do not see any mention of a problem like this when searching the web or the forum (although I may have missed something by not searching the correct terms).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The raw camera bundle is  /System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle
    Go to /System/Library/CoreServices with the Finder, locate the the RawCamera.bundle package, select it and then do a File->Get Info on the package. You should have version 3.8.0, that is the latest and the one that you should have downloaded last week. If it is not 3.8.0 stop here and post back what version you do have, something isn't right.
    Assuming you have 3.8.0  use the Finder to navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices and then delete the RawCamera.bundle package. The Finder will ask you to authorize the delete.
    Then go to Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.7 download and install it. That will put you back to the last CameraRaw update before this one.
    See if that fixes your problem.
    As always when messing around with system files it is possible to mess things up so make sure you have a good backup before proceeding, And if any of these instructions make you nervous you might want to hold off doing them.
    good luck

  • Strange "unsupported format" error with jpegs

    I'm trying to help a friend who is running the most recent version of Aperture 3 (all updates installed). When we import a single jpeg from her hard drive, it comes into Aperture with the "unsupported format" icon and an exclamation mark where the preview should be. Double clicking the thumbnail opens the same error in the viewer, so it's not just an issue of the preview. The files themselves are fine and are named with the proper extension.
    If we import 2 images at the same time, one comes in okay, and one does not. Importing 3 at a time yeilds 2 good, one bad. So, essentially, there is always just one image that is bad. It will successfully import the very same file that it rejected moments before as long as it is not the only file being imported. Make sense?
    This is not a RAM or hard drive space issue. The only thing I think it may be is that she is running 10.6.7 (on a quad core Mac Pro). I'm wondering if the OS update to 10.6.8 resolves this particular issue. I will definitely update it as soon as I can, but I need to know if it could be something else. (I'm not with the machine now, and I need to bring the solution with me because she is not at a location where she can download the update herself.) Has anyone else seen this behavior before?
    Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions. This has me stumped!

    Upgrade and then see.  10.6.8 is the current minimum requirement.

  • Just updated, now older pictures in library show "unsupported format"

    Help! My aperture library consist of pictures shot with a Nikon d80 and now a D300. Just tonight I installed the raw update. Now many of the photo files show as "unsupported format" of they have a green or purple color cast, While other are just fine. What have I done and how can I fix it. I ment to do a superduper backup a couple of days ago.... but forgot, dumb, dumb. Anyone have any idea what I can do?

  • "Unsupported format" with imported DNGs from Fujifilm E900 RAW files

    When I import a DNG generated by Adobe DNG Converter 5.1 from a Fujifilm E900 RAW file, I get the dreaded "unsupported format" label. I thought Aperture 2.x was supposed to handle DNGs created from unsupported RAW formats. There was lots of hoopla around this when Aperture 2 was released. Now it doesn't work?
    I'd really like to buy an E900, but not if I can't get the RAW images into Aperture.
    Anyone got a workaround?

    Thanks, Guys. I've tried doing the DNG conversions as both mosaic and linear, and neither works. Guess Aperture just doesn't like this camera. It's a shame, as the E900 is one of the few digicams that shoots RAW, and the only one available for under $200. Still, I don't want to have to go back to ACR to do my RAW conversions. Guess I'll have to wait for the price on the Panasonic DMC-LX3 to come down.

  • EOS 5D MarkII Raw won't open "Unsupported format"

    I have downloaded the trial Aperture 2.1.4 and also downloaded and installed the latest RAW 2.6 update. I'm running OS 10.5.4. As far as I read here unless I'm shooting sRaw my photos should open, But no luck. Sometimes I get the "unsupported format" notice. More frequently just a small thumbnail size image appears on the full screen.
    Clearly I'm doing something wrong. Please help.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for everyone's reply. It seems that the card I used was first formatted in my EOS 5D and then just placed in the 5DII. While these files work fine in Bridge and Photoshop, Aperture would not read them. I took the same card and reformatted it in the 5DII. Aperture now seems to read the files.
    On further searching it does seems that the card format could be the issue. I'll keep working on this and give an update.
    Thanks.

  • Unsupported format

    I have Aperture 3.4.5 and started a new library with importing of about 6000 images from some disks [DVDs] made at the time the pics were taken.  Almost all came in just fine, but there are a bunch of them which have that triangle on black "unsupported format" - but all the other pictures are just fine.  They were taken with a Canon 20D mostly and I did run reprocessing.  I don't know why they come in unsupported but thought I would ask first here.  Thanks.

    I have repaired permissions in the Finder in Show Package Contents on the folder with all the images, I have quit and restarted Aperture, I have repaired permissions in Aperture, rebuilt the database etc.  I did identify one of the 400 and pulled it to the desktop and tried to open it with PhotoshopElements9 -= it opened but all as garbage.
    I'm now reimporting th eimages to see if there is any change in them between this 'new' library and the old one.  The pics are on a set of DVDs that was burned to keep them for the future [HA!] - it was hard enough to get them off the Toast burned disks [proprietary crap] but I was able to do that = but now I have this batch that either ends up blacked out with Unsupported Image Format on front or else looking terribe  - like the image was only partly copied over - don't know yet if that's the fault of Toasting or ClickDrag or Aperture = mighe know more once the new batch is imported.  Thanks for the help.

  • "unsupported format" message

    Working in Aperture 2, I get intermittant blank screen and "unsupported format" error message when in edit view.  No problems in thumbnail view.  Only format used is CR2 (Canon RAW).  The only way to clear error is by exiting Aperture and re-starting.  Anyone else seen this / have a fix?

    A Loud Cheer Is Heard From The Crowd!!!
    OK, sucess with Vista Ultimate. Monday, I can check it out with XP, but I am predicting that will be a success as well.
    Being brand new to the world of video and Premier, everything I do is an act of faith at this point. What I was reacting to with my previous comment was the fear that working with the files was not going to be a staright forward Import, Modify, Export Final Product path. I was afraid I'd have to make a detour to import into some intermediate format, then bring it into Premiere.
    Glad that's not the case at all!
    I will do my best to report sometime on Monday if XP is as straightforward as Vista. If Idon't have a problem, I will be real curious what caused the problem qim010 is reporting.
    Regarding AVCHD . . .  are there different "flavors"? From my still photography background, I found that RAW is not the same across the board: Nikon RAW is not quite the same as Olympus RAW and, at least when I got my first Olympus that did raw, there was differences withing the Olympus line. I had to wait a while for the an update to Photoshop even though an older version of Olympus RAW could be read. Maybe that is why qim010 is reporting a difficulty with Sony AVCHD.

  • Wma files getting error message the media being played is of an unsupported format

    I have tried many methods of moving wma files from my pc to my 8310.  Some work and others trigger the error message "the media being played is of an unsupported format"  Why some work and other don't is mysterious to me.

  • Cannot open corrupted .mov file - error 2048 unsupported format

    Hi all,
    I have an important corrupted video file and I have tried every way I can think of to open it, but to no avail...
    When I open it with Quicktime, an "error 2048 unsupported format" shows up, even though other videos I took are fine.
    I can't open this video with ANY softwares including VLC and friends (trust me, I tried LOADS of them)..
    After doing MUCH research I understand that either the header/closing part of the file is messed up.
    Is anyone able to teach me how to fix those parts?
    I'm really at the end of my wits and I'm a just beginner to hex-editing @.@ Better still, if you are able to take a look at this video for me...
    I'll be very glad if anyone can help me out with this as I really wish to recover the video, this is for an important friend, thanks in advance!
    P.s. the video is about 120mb in size

    Hi
    Im using the tool called SUPER.
    Its free and you can convert any file format to any other file format
    Maybe it would be possible to convert his faulty file to another format and ten you could try to open it again using VLC player or other application.

  • "File Import Failure Unsupported format or damaged file" in CS6 but fine in CS5.5

    Hello All.
    Recording in Pal DV AVI from Sony Z5U with MRC1K compact flash recorder.
    Imported files to computer using the Sony utility, and also tried dragging and dropping.
    Some files import to Premiere Pro CS6.03, but others give "File Import Failure: Unsupported format or damaged file,".
    The files that do import show up as 4:3 and I have to modify /  interpret footage to get them to show as 16:9,
    However, these same files play back just fine in Windows Media Player.
    Intriguingly these files import just fine to Premiere Pro CS5.5, and also show up correctly as 16:9.
    I can't figure out why some files import into CS6 and others don't....
    Anyone else seen this kind of behavior?
    (Normally I record in HDV and I've never had problems importing from MRC1K into Premiere, but the client specifically requested DV files for their ease of editing...)
    Cheers
    Mark
    PS When I use the DV recoverer utility on these files they import just fine into CS6....

    Hi Jim,
    OK, here's the video that imports OK into CS6.03 but that Premiere CS6.03 sees as 4:3:
    And here's the one that won't import into CS6.03 but is happily opened by CS5.5 and correctly seen as 16:9:
    Can you spot the difference? Thanks for having a look at this.
    Cheers

  • Unsupported Format Video Error

    Hello everyone.
    While playing around with my phone, i found my video recorder and decided to test it. For about 20 seconds, i recorded me waliking around the house.
    The problem arose when i went to play it. I clicked the play button and got the message: "The media being played is of an unsupported format." In addition a small red box in the upper right hand corner says "Error Playing"
    If anyone could help resolving this, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    It might be kind of late, but i ran into this problem tody as well. To fix it, i went to the memory card screen, clicked the menu button and clicked 'safely remove media card'. I took it out, waited a few seconds, put it back in, and all my videos were working again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Video unsupported format problem after installing OS 6

    I had two videos saved on my Sprint Curve 9330 that played with OS 5.  After installing OS 6, I now get an error message that states, "The video portion of the media being played uses an unsupported format."  The sound from the video plays, but, the video does not.  The videos have an mp4 file extention.  I tried deleting the videos and reloading them from my computer with Blackberry Desktop Manager.  I tried a battery pull.  I checked to make sure no encryption of the media card was turned on.  Nothing seems to fix the problem.  Does any one have some advice or a fix for this issue?  Thanks!

    Update:  I got it to work today.  I had to convert the video file from AVI to mpeg4 myself, then download it without "optimizing" it as is.  For whatever reason, when I let BB Desktop Manager try to convert the file, it failed to successfully create a mpeg4 file that could be played on my phone, even though, the file has an mpeg4 file extension.  Hopefully this helps others who might experience a similar problem.
