Can't open NEF or convert to DNG from NIkon D3

I have a new Nikon D3. I purchased CS3 sooner than I expected since there were some problems converting or even opening NEF files produced with the Nikon softwares.
Now CS3 tells me that it can't open NEFs. And when I try to convert them to DNGs on import, it says that operation fails.
Is there something elemental here that I am missing? Somewhere in the info I read that CS3 supports the D3. Is there some hidden setting somewhere?
I didn't buy a better camera just to shoot in jpegs. This is a mission critical issue. Any help would be appreciated.

I just bought a new Nikon D5000. I can't open the NEF files in any app(CS 8.0(yeah, I know)/Lightroom 2.3(just downloaded)/Aperture(just downloaded). I can only use Nikon software. What version of CS opens them, why doesn't a brand new version of Lightroom 2.3 do so?
Because Lightroom 2.3 was released BEFORE the Nikon D5000 was ever even announced. Support has been added for each specific model, and Adobe has to have images from the model in order to provide the support. As far as your version of Photoshop is concerned, there will never be direct camera raw support for your camera. As soon as Adobe announces an update that will support the D5000, you will be able to use the DNG converter (after it has been updated) to create Digital negative copies of the raw files from your camera.

How can I open raw files in elements 12 from nikon d810

How can I use PS Elements (Mac) to open raw files from Nikon D810?

Hi,
The D810 requires camera raw 8.6 which currently is not available for Photoshop elements.
You could download and install the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert the NEF files to DNG files which can then be processed by Photoshop elements.

Can't open NEF files in element taken by Nikon d7100

I have element 11 and when I want to open a NEF file taken from my Nikon d7100 camera, it says that this camera raw program doesn't take in charge files from this type of camera. It udes to work, but it just stopped. Why?

Do you mean your Elements 11 used to open D7100 files and quit, recently, or that it used to open raw files from another, older camera but won’t open D7100 files?

You need to install Camera Raw 8.3 RC. The camera is supported in that version. And, of course, it will be supported in ACR 8.3 when it is officially released.

I can't open NEF files of my Nikon D800 in PS CS 5.1 even though I have installed Camera Raw 6.7

I can't open NEF files of my Nikon D800 in PS CS 5.1 even though I have installed Camera Raw 6.7.
What's the problem?
Any solutions?
Thx!

The D800 is listed as needing ACR 6.7/7.1. That raises a red flag that might indicate that 7.1 is needed. Since that requires CS6 you can not use that version. If others confirm you need 7.1 you either have to upgrade or use the DNG converter with latest version, which I think is 8.1.

For the D600 NEF's you have two alternatives: (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3 Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3 You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click.

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

I have a Nikon D810, I have a trial version Ligtroom 5 and I can not open NEF format, help me please.

I have nikon D810 , i can not open Nef format .

LR 5.6 is needed, and your destination needs to be writable by LR, and you cannot have touched the files with Nikon software that is old, like what you might have used with your previous Nikon camera, to transfer or view the images before importing into LR.
Obsolete Nikon software changes something in the metadata of newer-camera NEFs that makes the raw files unrecognizable to Adobe software. You can correct the corruption with a utility from here:

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

You need Adobe Camera Raw 7.4 or later which is only compatible with CS6 or later.
Some choices:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud
Join the CCPP
Free option: download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files from the NX300 to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5

What arrow?
Have you tried opening the file in FCP?
If there is no error message and it will not play in QT7, it is quite possible the file is corrupted. You will need to go back to the original project and re-export the file.
