Can't install RAW Camera update 2.3

This post is actually on behalf of my brother. He has a 2007 MacBook, running 10.4.11 and has tried, unsuccessfully to install the Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 2.3
The installer runs, asks to restart, he complies, however can still not open the RAW images off of his Canon 50D. Here's the error Preview presents, after attempting to install the plug-in, then trying to open a RAW image:
However, the problem is not just with Preview, of course. Since the "update" should usher in system-wide RAW compatibility, but doesn't, neither Aperture 2.1.4, nor iPhoto 6 recognize the pics either.
I tried to determine exactly what is supposed to be getting updated here. (By the way, I'm running this same "RAW Update" successfully on my Mac Pro, running 10.5.8. And we've both got 50D's.) Anyway, on my machine, I navigated to:
+Mac HD > System > Library > Core Services+ and found this plug-in:
Great! 2.3.0 However, on my brother's machine, even after a "successful" install of this RAW update, his plugin only reports the version as 2.0.11 - obviously it's not really installing properly. Oddly enough too, I packaged my plug-in and moved it to his machine, put it in the right folder, rebooted and still no luck with my 2.3.0 version of the plug-in. So I'm not sure what else to try.
Any ideas here? We also tried installing Digital Camera RAW Support Update 1.0.1 (Universal). I was thinking maybe this Support Update needed to be installed before the plug-in could work. However, attempting to install this item resulted in him being told that it was unnecessary. That he was already up to date. So, I don't know what else to try.
He just bought Snow Leopard. But he's going to wait to install it for a month or so - when I'm home to help him with it all. Either way, a complete OS upgrade is supreme overkill when we're just trying to get a plug-in to work. I'd love to find a way to get this all working properly, in the meantime.
Thanks for any ideas!

We might try this because it's relatively quick & easy.
Otherwise, the only other idea I have is to do an Archive & Install of the OS and then reinstall updates.
I don't think we'll go this route. He has Snow Leopard, ready & waiting. If we're going to (re)install an OS then I'd just as soon "come clean" to the new world, as opposed to spending all the time to stay where we are—considering that we could go that far and still, potentially, end up right where we are now: dead in the water.
Thanks for your time and input here!

  • Problem installing Raw Camera Updater for K100D Super?

    Heyo (:
    So, I have iPhoto and up until now it's been working okay with dealing with all of my photos and such. When I import them I've had absolutely no problem, until today when I started to import my images. The import went smoothly, it looked like they were all going to go in, I got to the dialog box that said "delete all/keep all" (or whatever it really says), but after that I got a dialog box that said it couldn't import ANY of my .PEF files.
    I ran software update and it updated my RAW compatibility, but it still won't work. So I looked around on the website for the specific update for the k100d super, but it won't let me install it because there's 'a newer version of digital camera raw compatibility' on the computer. I have no idea how to delete the new version, and then reupdate, or if it's even possible? The present version is the one with the k20d update, but it doesn't work.
    Any and all help is appreciated. I can't get iLife '09 until next week, so anything would be great. Thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    but after that I got a dialog box that said it couldn't import ANY of my .PEF files.
    What did that message say?
    Anytime a Mac "loses" an ability always try a restart. If that doesn't help try repair permissions with Disk Utility.

  • Can't install raw compatibility update 3.10

    Dialogue box says I need Aperture 3 or iPhoto11. I have Ap3, the latest. Do I need both? I bought A3 as an app, but apps are "up to date".

    Open the Application folder and highlight Aperture. Do a Get Info on it. Look at the permissions in the Info window at the bottom. You'll need to change them so you have write access to Aperture. You'll need to unlock the info window (by clicking the lock icon) if it is locked by supplying an Administrators password. Once it is unlocked you change everyone to read&write then you should be able to edit the name. Once you've changed the name you can set  everyone back to read only and lock the info window.
    The update should work now.

  • RAW Camera Update 3.1 crashed and destroyed disk

    I installed RAW Camera Update 3.1 on my MacBook Pro. (I had previously installed it successfully on another computer.) After going through the usual installation screens, an alert reported that the installation had failed and I should try installing again. I decided to restart the computer first so that I would have a clean boot to work with. On restart, a progress indicator appeared while the Apple icon was showing in the center of the screen; then the progress indicator restarted; then the computer shut down. This now happens every time I try to boot from the internal startup disk.
    So I restarted from a 10.6.2 external startup disk. An alert reported that the internal startup disk was invalid, that I can still copy files from it but cannot save files to it, and that I should reformat the disk and reinstall everything. Typically, for me, this is a task that takes about a week, and I would like to avoid having to do it.
    Is there any other solution? What happened?

    Disk Utility and TechTool Pro could not fix the startup disk, but Disk Warrior saved the day!

  • Will not start even in safe boot after installing latest camera update

    MacBook Pro will not start even in safe boot after installing latest camera update.
    I started my machine and did a software update. Only the camera update needed. So installed and when required I pressed restart. It restarted and did install. Then restarted again. I expected to get to the login screen and it turned itself off. Tried three more times. Each time shutting off. I unplugged everything, and pressed start waiting for log in window. No it shutdown before the log in window. I then tried safe mode and that did not work either on three more occasions.

    I have managed to resolve some issues. I can now restart the machine via a CD boot. If I do cmd C into something like tech tool pro, then restart from that disks menu it restarts every time.
    If I try a safe start it shuts down. If I try a normal start it shuts down. I have managed to repair permissions and that cleared up some start up permissions but with no improvement to the boot problem. The only way to load is via the cmd-C boot option. Any other ideas?

    There are already so many discussions about installation of NSU and PCSuite, that is better for you do a little search and see if you find your solution. But, just my guess, could be a registry problem...

  • Can't install EFI Firmware Update

    Hello,
    i can't install the Firmware Update (EFI 1.1) on my MacBook (Core 2Duo, OS X Version: 10.4.10).
    My System is on an GUID partition scheme.
    I get a white screen after the "long beep" and after a few minutes the cpu fan start to run.
    I disconnected all my peripherals but this does not work either.
    Any suggestions?

  • Can't install SMC Firmware Update for my MacBook Pro 15" early 2011

    Can't install SMC Firmware Update for my MacBook Pro 15" early 2011

    Check your Network control panel and turn off Auto-Proxy setting.
    This is one of the top #4 "how can they do this' pet-peeve errors.
    The other is the often slow 8 hrs to download 600MB even on 10Mb+ cable.
    Another, 'the drive cannot be partitioned because there isn't enough contiguous unfragemented free space; some files are locked and cannot be moved."
    If auto proxy isn't it, router/modem and DNS settings.

  • I can't install new software update!

    I can't install new software update! for my Nokia 6500 slide.
    when install the new software on to my laptop, Vista home premium, service pack one.
    It give me this error "error 2738 could not access VBScript run time for cutom action".??????
    Can anyone help me please?
    How **bleep**.

    Impossible to say without more details other than "I can't install". If you'll post full details, including whether you're attempting to update from the iPad directly or from iTunes on a computer, where things are breaking down, what error messages if any you're getting, and any other details pertinent to your issue, then someone can perhaps offer suggestions.

  • Can't install Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 2.2

    Software Update wants to install Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 2.2, but it always fails, saying: "The update “Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update” can’t be saved. You do not have appropriate access privileges. The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder."
    I've tried doing Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, but this has not helped. I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.5, all other recent updates have gone in fine.

    I had the same problem. Deleting the contents of the HD/library/Updates worked.
    Never the less I noticed that the permission set was different:
    Original permission set: admin R&W, admin R only, everyone R only.
    I also followed the Alias and found two files with the same permissions.
    Re-downloading (via software update) revealed a new permission set:
    (Me) R&W, Admin R&W, everyone Read only
    In both the alias and the two files downloaded. Note that (Me) denotes your user with administrator access.
    I believe that, since the update was downloaded automatically, the permissions were mismatched and instead of adding a system R&W privileges it added a second Admin Read only permission.
    Adding an administrator user with read and write permissions should solve the problem (as long as you authenticate as that particular administrator when prompted for intall authorization).

  • Can't Install Digital Camera Raw 3.6

    I am having problems installing Digital Camera Raw 3.6. During the install, I get the message "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update can't be installed on this disk. This update provides support for Aperture 3 and iPhoto 9 only".
    I purchased Aperture 3 from the Mac App store. In Aperture 3, Digital Camera Raw 3.4 is installed. Software Update does not recognize Digital Camera Raw needs to updated. Help!

    Ernie.......yes, the application is Aperture, Mac's photo-image software. I didn't specify as I thought I was posting in the Aperture Forum. I'm not very familiar with these forums, did I miss a step in clarifying my subject?
