Can't open .DNG files in Preview and others

I am using Adobe DNG converter OR Lightroom to convert .RW2 from a Panasonic Lumix 3 to .DNG
This works:
1. Working with files in LR
2. Use PanoMaker to create panoramas
3. Create HDR with Photomagix
This does not work
4. Open files with MAC OS X 10.4.11 Preview (Vorscha) even though thumbnails look ok.
It says (in German) that it can not open the file
5. View files in Houdahgeo - Adding GPS info works
5. Use Photomagico to creat slide shows - only see thumbnails at the bottom
I also played with the settings in Adobe DNG Converter and LR (Raw 2.4, 4.1, 4.6, 5.4, User...Linear...Not compresse) but it did not help.
I searched multiple forums, found the problem twice mentioned on the side but never resolved. One hinted that its a problem since 10.4.11

Hi,
(1) I'd think that if Adobe makes a XYZ to DNG converter for MAC OS X the goal would would that the following can open such a DNG file
        (a) All Adobe Apps ..... it works ....... mission accomplished
         (b) The native DNG viewer in OS X which is "Preview" .... it does not work!!!
         Note: the above works if XYZ is Canons RAW. If it is coming from a Panasonic LX3 one is out of luck
(2) I just tried the above with LR 2.6RC and DNG Converter 5.6. Nothing has changed.
Anybody having an idea? work around?

.... 3 additional additions to my original message.
(a) I am still on Tiger 10.4.11
(b) The conversion if from Canon's CR2 to .DNG in Adobe Raw Converter (ARC) or LightRoom (LR) can be viewed in Preview just fine
(c) It almost looks like ARC or LR convert in way which is good encough for LR and a few others (Panomaker, HDR tools etc.) but not for all
Any ideas how to fix?

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
I have:
Photoshop CS4
Camera Raw CS4
Canon 5D Mark ii
I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update ) this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
This led me to the video.
To the point.
Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
Them " Preferences "
then "General "
Then " Plus-Ins"
At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
Hope this works for you as well.

Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well. I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4. Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails. I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4. Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5? Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

Can't open dng file in Photoshop cs5 from Lightroom 5.6

Hello, I've searched around and can't find the answer to my question.
Technical details:
OS X v10.8.5
Photoshop CS5 (ver12.1) Camera Raw ver 6.7.1.340
Lightroom ver 5.6 (Camera Raw ver8.6)
Camera: Nikon D600
Minimum camera raw version to support D600 Raw is ver 7.3 and Lightroom ver 4.3
I know that my version of PS doesn't support my Nikon D600 raw files so I've used the Adobe DNG converter and converted a raw file so I can process in PS. I can open the DNG file directly in PS and get the ACR screen to perform my edits. However, what I really want to do is open the DNG file in PS from LR.
While in LR, if I select Edit in -> Adobe Photoshop CS5, I get the notification from LR that "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility". I would have expected that regardless of whether I opened the (same) dng file from PS or LR (and edit in PS), that once in PS. the ACR screen in PS would be presented. Can anyone explain to me why this is the case and if this is normal or expected behaviour? Thanks
Also:
Adobe DNG converter preferences = Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Lightroom preferences = File Handling -> Use Camera Raw 6.6 and later
Thank you in advance,
Mark

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.

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?

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't open DNG file

Hi all, I hope there's a simple fix. Using DNG 6.3 to convert Panasonic LX-5 (RW2) files. Conversion goes fine, but my ACR ver. 3.7 within CS2 doesn't "recognize the file type" I've set the DNG converter preferences back compatible to 2.4. What am I missing? Thanks

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, and I apologize. But you are trying to open the DNG files, correct? I don't have any other suggestions because I have never encountered the problem you are having. Are you sure you have ACR 3.7 installed correctly, and only once?

I can't open several files in preview

since 2 weeks, I have not been able to open more than 1 file (whatever it is pdf, jpg...) with the Preview app. Once preview is open, all the files I want to preview need a permission I obviously had before, I tried to fiddle the Library and read advices here but nothing work. SO I have to quit the preview app to be able to open just one file. any idea?

Open Preview, select Preview Preferences and in the General tab select "Open each file in it's own window"

Can't open excel file after saving and closing excel with activex

I'm using activex to write and save excel files in LabVIEW. My application opens excel (not visible)writes a file, saves it, and then closes both the file and excel. When I try to open the file Excel opens but the file is not displayed, I see the excel header and footer but the file itself does not display. My application is still running at this point. Any suggestions?

It is critical when using ActiveX with Excel that ALL refnums be properly closed when they are no longer used. Just a single refnum left open will cause the exact situation that you describe. Typically, but not required, the refnums will be closed in the reverse order in which they were created. Here is a good sequence:
Open Application ref
Property Workbooks ref
Open Workbook ref
Close Workbooks ref
Select Sheet ref
Select Range ref
Write Value2 to Range
Close Range ref
Close Sheet ref
Save Workbook
Close Workbook ref
Close Application ref
When you have properly closed all refnums, the problem will disappear.

Open keynote files in preview

I tried to uninstall iWork 09 trial, and may have gone a little nuts removing files from my system. I search for and removed files with the word iWork in them from my system. That was dumb. Now I can't open keynote files in Preview (which I could do before). I know there is a Library file somewhere which gives this ability, but I don't know which one or how to get it back.
I am using Yosemite and do not have iWork.
Sam

As I said, I do not have keynote. Also I did not notice these files included in the keynote 09 manifest. I believe it is part of Mac OS.
