Can't open ACR files in CS4 - HELP!

I have a Canon EOS 1000D and am using Photoshop CS4.
Every time I try opening it through PS I have a pop-up saying "could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file". And the option to "open in camera raw" in bridge is gray, so i can't select it.
I've updated my Camera Raw Plug-In to version 5.7. (which is supposed to be compatible) and I still have trouble opening my files - both through PS and Bridge.
I'm in desperate need of help!

As Camera Raw is a plug-in, I'm wondering if somehow you haven't replaced the plug-in in the proper directory...
From Photoshop's menu, choose Help - About Plug-in. Do you have just one Camera Raw entry showing? If so, click it. What version do you see?

Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014

I Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014. I have uninstalled the programs, and all other versions of PS several times, but no matter what I do, I can't open a raw file I have opened in Bridge, in PS CC 2014. I have to click Open in Photoshop CC 2014 in Bridge.
Also, on my workstation PC (Win 7 64bit), if I don't open PS prior to opening Bridge, then when I try to open a file from bridge it says it can't run PS on an earlier Operating system than Win 7!
I have done exactly the same instalation on my notebook, same OS, and everything works perfectly - I just don't understand.

Guys! This question was asked almost two months ago, and still no-one has replied? I'm still stuck, no matter what I have tried, I cannot find a solution. And please don't ask me to re-install AGAIN, I've done this several times and it simply does not work.

Can't open RAW files in CS4

I recently bought the 5d mk2 and I cannot open RAW files. Had no problem with my 20D but 5D does not work. Tried to put new plug in into the plugin folder but it says that it is not recognised by windows or there is an error in it. Anyone help?

The only other thing I can think of is that when you installed 5.7 you put the older version in a location where it should not have been. If you are keeping an older copy it cannot be anywhere in the Adobe folder structure. It's best to just get rid of it completely. You can always download another copy if necessary. I know, this is a dumb question, but are you certain you are using Photoshop CS4?

I can't open multiple files on preview, help?

Every time I open a folder of new files (all .jpg but downloaded with Chrome) it keeps asking me if I'm sure I want to open the file, and it only opens one of the selected files, I can't find anything on how to fix this with the preferences (neither preview's nor system's) and it's bothering me a lot because it never did this with Leopard.
Is there a way to fix this somehow?

I have CS5 Web Premium on MacOSX and I have the same problem with Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Illustrator... when I select a few files and drag them onto the app icon in my dock it only opens 1 of the files... I have checked the tabs there are no other tabs/files opening. And I don't know how to fix it... it really bothers me!!! :-/
Please tell me you have another solution up your sleeve?

Can not open NEF files in CS4

Hello all,
I just got CS4 and I am trying to learn it. I have a book and it is wonderful, however it does not answer everything. I am shooting with a Nikon D90 and I am taking the pictures in the RAW/NEF format. When I try to open them I get the following error:
Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file.
What can I do to make this run and get the most out of PS,
Thanks,
Mike

Did you read the installation instructions?
Manual installation on Mac OS:
1. Exit Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open the download file, double-click CameraProfiles.dmg, and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Open the Finder.
4. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home folder).
5. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats
6. Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
7. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 5.
8. Launch Photoshop CS4 or Adobe Bridge.
NOTE: If generic camera thumbnails appear in Adobe Bridge, follow these steps:
1. Check to make sure the plug-in was installed in the correct directory in Step 5 above.
2. Start Adobe Bridge.
3. Choose Tools > Cache > Purge Central Cache.
Important: Purging the Central Cache deletes cached thumbnail information for all folders. It also deletes labels, ratings, and rotation settings for read-only files (for example, files on a CD or locked files) or file formats that don't have XMP support.

Can't open DNG file in CS4?

I recently purchased a Canon 6D camera and want to be able to open my Raw images in Photoshop. I have CS4 which I know is quite old now. I downloaded DNG converter 7.3 which supports my camera but I still cannot open the DNG or Raw files. Actually the DNG files will not even dowload into Bridge. Did I miss a step?

As Station_two mentioned, you're using a version of LR that is not compatible with the older version of PS CS5. I don't know it LR has the ability to save DNGs to work in older versions of PS. If not, you will need a DNG converter to save them to the version of Camera Raw that PS CS5 can handle or upgrade PS.

"Pages" app keeps glitching out. Can't open any files. Pease help.

Every time I open pages, the screen goes blink with the pages tab on top, like normal. But after waiting a couple of seconds, no documents or thumbnails load. What is going on, and how can I fix it. I know that there is a system restore button, but what does that do and how does it work?

If you are using iCloud in conjunction with Pages, go into Settings and make sure it is turned on (Settings app > iCloud > Documents and Data; Settings App > Pages > Use iCloud)
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

I can not open a file. Please help.

I subscribed to Acrobat.com and it still will not work. I am using a MAC OS 10.5.8. I can not upgrade my computer and therefore can not get a new version of Acrobat. That being said I have the same problem on my iPad and updated that Adobe app. The error message I receive is "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF view may not be able to display.....

hold down ALT + H click on check for updates, then update itunes, after that it will work.

Updated to latest ACR 6.6 but still can't open CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi

I updated to latest version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.6 but still can't seem to open my CR2 files in Photoshop. Can't open them in Lightroom either, no preview in Bridge or OS.
I'm running OS 10.7.2 and Photshop 12.1 x 64 which is CS5.1 I suppose.
I've downloaded Canon's EOS utility hoping that would somehow do something as well but nothing.
The images were shot on Canon Rebel XSi which is certainly supported by the newest version of ACR. So I have no clue as to what's happening... I previously downloaded these images onto my old laptop about a year ago and everything was fine, however now I'm not even getting a preview in OS. Do I have to revert to an older version of ACR (perhaps the same one I used originally?) to open these files again? These files have been stored on a hard drive, so I'm not downloading them directly from the camera-again, this probably has nothing to do with it but not sure what to do. A lot of the posts I've seen recommend downloading the latest version of ACR to fix the issue, but again I've done that and as a matter of fact the camera (Rebel XSi) has been supported for some time now...
In OS, when the image is selected no preview:
Lightroom error:
Bridge, no preview:
Photoshop error:
Ideas, suggestions?

Something appears to be wrong with your files.
Are most of your images approx. 3.7 MB?
This is very small for a 12 MP image.
If you go back to the original file on your laptop, what is the file size?
Also the fact that the Mac OS is not showing the preview is unusual.
Perhaps these files got corrupted when they were moved to your new computer.
Can you open these files OK on your old laptop?
Is the OS showing the previews on your old laptop?
Also compare the file sizes between old and new computer.
Have you tried repairing your permissions?
Try Disk Utility in your Macs Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility to see if this helps.
Good Luck!

How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

Andy,
In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
Upgrade the host program version
Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
Good luck,
Hunt

What kind of audio did the camera record? For example, the Sony NX5U can be set to record linear PCM audio, which will not import into CS4. If the same camera is set to record AC3 audio, then the clips should import and play as expected. This thread may help:

Can't open raw files in 32 bit CS4

Am using Vista 64 bit OS and because I recently purchased Nik Software's Complete Ed was necessary to change from initial set up of PS CS4 64 bit to 32 for their usage compatability. Had Camera Raw 5.0 on 64 bit version, copied camera raw 8bi plug in file format and placed in correct file format folder for the 32 bit version of PS. ...sounds easy enough...but when I attempt to open a raw file in PS or bridge it will not open and get message - Could not complete your request because of a program error. Camera raw does show up and only once under the About Plug In submenu. Have tried Purge Cache option. Can still open raw files as always in 64 bit version, save and reopen 32bit version to continue but hoping for solution to eleminate that hassle. Thanks for your needed advice!

Plugin's have to be rewritten for a 64-bit environment so copying the 64-bit ACR to the 32-bit folder won't work. You need the 32-bit version of ACR in the 32-bit CS4 folder.
I'm not sure if the ACR 5.6 updater will work to update both versions, or if you need to download and install the plugin's manually.
You can get to the manual install ZIP by following the PSE link near the top of the regular ACR 5.6 page linked on the updates page:

Can't open .ase file in Dutch Ps cs4

Hi,

Can somebody tells me what's wrong?

I was trying to open and old .pmd Page Maker file that was created in a Windows version of Page Maker. I am not sure what version they were saved in. The file was created in July of 2006 if that helps.
It's been a long time since I was up to speed on PageMaker. The pmd file extension refers to Pagemaker 5, right? InDesign should be able to import the output of PM 6.5 and PM 7, but I've found that the PM6.5 import is usually pretty decent, while for some reason the PM7 import is flaky. This probably is a result of changes in the way the documents were build by the, ah, "designers," and has comparatively little to do with the abilities of ID to open PM files of various versions. PM5, however, can't be imported by InDesign, I think.
What happens when you try to open them? Does InDesign crash, or does it fail without an error message, or ??? More details, please.
Is there a way to open this file. I also have a pdf that I created from this file. I have Acrobat CS4 Is there a way to export the pdf back to an Indesign file. Just another thought regarding this file.
Well, there's always the PDF2ID tool, but since PDF is an uneditable container format, the results of running a PDF through PDF2ID is not reliable. Sometimes you get something very much like the source document, but I've found that most often it is faster to rebuild from scratch. I didn't buy PDF2ID, but that is because my clients' bizarro formatting techniques break on conversion. A very simple document might come back a lot cleaner.

I'm going back to cs4 after using cs6 and I can't open nef files in camera raw.

I'm going back to cs4 after using cs6 and I can't open nef files in camera raw.

Each camera needs a specific camera raw version (ACR). And each ACR is tied to a specific version of PS. See this list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

You can't directly but can use DNG Converter to convert your files so ACR can read and process them.
