Can't open raw images in CS2 after install, can't see thumbnails in Bridge

I hope you guys can help.
We just purchased an Acer laptop computer, picked it up yesterday. Hubby is going to use this strictly for working on his pictures when out of town. He didn't even plan to hook it up to the internet. It has Windows Vista Home Premium, 2G of RAM, 120G of hard drive and a CD/DVD player/recorder. I installed Photoshop CS2, Nik Sharpener, Neatimage noise remover and Huey Pro Calibrater onto the computer last night.
When I opened Photoshop & Bridge, opened a DVD of some RAW images, Bridge would not show the thumbnails and I couldn't open any in Photoshop. In Bridge all that showed was a light blue box with CR2 over it and the file name below for each image. When I tried to open one I got a "Can not complete process due to a program error" message. I did open a jpeg image into Photoshop from the ones included in my documents and had no trouble with that. I didn't acutally try to do anything with it so I'm not sure that any of the options in Photoshop actually work, although they were all active with the jpeg image.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to correct these two problems?
Thanks for any help I can get, Linda

Thanks John,
I actually went into Photoshop and ran the update. This gave me the current Camera Raw file 3.7 and an update for Bridge. I downloaded it and it is installed in Photoshop. This gave me thumbnails for the images taken on our Canon Rebel XTI, but not the Canon 30D. I went to the Camera Raw Update page on adobe.com. Found the 30D back in update 3.4. Shouldn't the latest update have all the previous updates included. As I understand the instructions, you are just supposed to replace the older version of Camera Raw with the newer. Will I have to install each update in order to get the support for my camera?
This leads me to another question, I downloaded the 3.4 and was following the instructions for installing it. It says to go to My Computer, open C, or disk with files installed, then navigate to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS-2\File Formats. My computer wasn't exactly like this, but I did get to the plug-in for Photoshop CS-2. After getting there, move existing Camera Raw.8bi to another location. Copy the Camera Raw Plug-in from the download into the same folder. See why is seems that the current version should have all previous updates?
Anyway, got to the Plug-in file and there is no Camera Raw file in it. I went through all the files in Adobe Program Files that looked like it might have it in it; bridge, ImageReady, and shared files. No Camera Raw to be found. I did open Photoshop up and double checked that it was showing up in the Plug-in list. Yep, it was there. Why can't I find it in the Program Files?
Sorry this is so long, I wanted to check everything I could before replying. Sure hope I can get this straightened out. Linda

Can't open RAW images in Photoshop

I purchased a new computer. It runs 64 bits. I have CS4. Since uploading it to my computer, I can not open RAW images. I have downloaded the most recent updates.
I have been using the 32 bit photoshop because I could not get my NIK filters to work in 64 bit. But I can't open any of my RAW images. I can't open them in either 32 or 64 bit.
I have version 5.0.0.178 of Camera Raw. I only know this because I can see it under "About filer.... Camera Raw". I cant find any camera raw filters in adobe/plug-ins in either version of photoshop. I have a huge photoshoot tomorrow. I NEED to open RAW images. HELP!! Regular Support is down for the next few days.

If you look at this list: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
You will see you need Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 or later.
As Chris says, update either maually from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4681
Or use the Updater from PS help.

Please confirm, I cannot open RAW images in CS2 from EOS 50D

Platform: XP Pro SP3
After shooting my first session using the new Canon EOS 50D DSLR I cannot open RAW images in Photoshop CS2. Canon told me there was a free upgrade available to replace my current RAW editor ver. 3.7 BUT it appears from what I've read that I must buy CS4 to open RAW files created in the new Canon 50D. Thank you for your efforts.

> ... from what I've read that I must buy CS4 to open RAW files created in the new Canon 50D.
Considering the $$ you paid for the 50D, updating CS2 to CS4 for the sake of all the improvements in ACR would be well worth the $200.

Can't open Raw images from Nikon D3200

I can not open RAW files taken on Nikon 3200
HW & SW: Nikon 3200: Apple MacBook Pro OS v. 10.8.5, Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, Adobe Lightroom 5, Adobe DNG Converter
I had a Nikon D60 and used a removable card to store images. No problem.
One week ago, I bought a Nikon D3200 and still use the same memory cards I had used with the D60.
I have taken about 100 pictures in Aperture, Shutter and Automatic mode, all in RAW format.
Am using Nikon Transfer to import the images from the card to the MacBook.
Photoshop will open JPEG images captured from the D3200 in the JPEG format, but not those captured in RAW format.
I can preview the images on the D3200, but when I download to the Mac, the images do not open in Photoshop Elements 11, or in Adobe DNG 8.2, or in Adobe Lightroom 5.
Photoshop failure message is: “Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.”
DNG Converter failure message is: “The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files.”
Adobe Lightroom failure message is: “The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom.”
I have downloaded most recent versions of Adobe Camera Raw and Adobe DNG. I have also uninstalled and then reinstalled Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. When I try to open or import the images, the same failure messages occur.
So far Adobe products are failing and am hoping there is a solution.

For pse 8/LR 3 you would need the 8.3 Dng Converter to convert yout Nikon D3200
files to dng copies that can be open/inported by pse 8 or LR3
Since the camera raw version required is 7.1/LR4.1 or later and pse 8 (only up to camera raw 6.2) can't use that camera raw version, the dng converter is needed.

Can't open any image in CC after crash

After a pc crash I am not any more able to open any image in Photoshop cc, I can select an image, press load but nothing happens.
I did an uninstall and reinstall, deleted all folders in AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC, deactivated OpenCL, still no luck.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.

Try resetting preferences. Start PS and immediately hold down ctrl alt shift keys. If fast enough you will get a reset window. File not affected by reinstall.

Can't open raw images in Photoshop Elements 9

I've just finished doing a fresh install of Windows 7 x64 SP1 onto my desktop PC. I installed Photoshop Elements 9 but it can't open any raw images (specifically Canon .CR2). When I open one of the same images with Photoshop CS5.1, it properly opens up the image in Camera Raw (6.6), allows me to pre-process the image, then edits it in Photoshop (as you would expect).
Before installing Photoshop, I did manually install Adobe Camera Raw 6.2, then upgrade it (multiple steps) up to the current v6.6.
I also copied the Camera Raw.8bi into the Plug-Ins\File Formats sub-directory of both C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer and C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9 but there was no change of behavior with Photoshop Elements 9.
This was working prior to the re-install of Windows 7.
Any suggestions on how to get this working? Thank you, in advance.

When I to to Help>Update, it offers to update Photoshop Elements to v9.0.3 but no mention is made of Camera Raw (any version). I'm not even sure how to determine what version it thinks is installed since there's no reference to Adobe Camera Raw in the Windows 7 Programs and Feature Control Panel applet.
Suggestions?

Can't open RAW Nikon files (NEF) using PS3 10.0 running 10.6.8 , think there is a conflict with camera Raw plug-in. Can't open raw images in bridge or photoshop.

I think I may have a Camera Raw plug-in conflict or plug in may be in the wrong place. In both PS3 and Bridge Nikon raw files (NEF) will not open. I've noticed that in photoshop in the pull down menu-about plug-in, I have 2 Camera Raw (s) listed, getting info one is 4.0, the other 4.6.0.30. It appears that my files and .xmp are 4.0 just by searching for 'Camera Raw' either 4. or 4.6 in spotlight. nothing is listed in spotlight under camera raw 4.6, but all my images are listed in the spotlight if I search for camera raw 4.0! I can not open either in Bridge or Photoshop CS3 I just receive the error message 'could not complete this request because photoshop does not reconize this type of file'. any help would this is greatfully appreciated. Thanks

Well if you have a fairly new Nikon camera PS CS3 will not have the proper version of ACR to support that camera.
You could use the Adobe DNG converter to convert the NEF files to DNGs or you can update PS to a newer version that does have support for newer cameras or you could buy Adobe Lightroom V4 which also has support for the newer Nikon cameras.

Downloaded Camera Raw update 6.2 but still can't open raw images

I followed all the steps as indicated on this page: Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.2 update but for some reason I still can't open .CR2 files . My camera (Canon Rebel T3i) is on the list of supported files. What should I do? I'm using Windows and I have Photoshop elements 8.0.

You need camera raw 6.4 for your camera. It is mot compatible with PSE8. You need to upgrade to PSE13. Alternatively, 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 PSE8 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Can't Open RAW Images - disconnected card reader - damaged??

The other day, I think I made the mistake of unplugging a Compact Flash card reader of RAW images prematurely. I'm not sure.
I got the warning that says that unplugging can damage the files.
Now, when I try to view the images, it shows that there are RAW images there, but they are greyed in Photoshop. In the browser, they are not greyed out, but they don't open except in Preview and there they just open Preview without showing an actual image.
When I hit Command - I, on an image it shows as Zero Kb.
My question...is there any hope?
Is there anything I can do to salvage these images somehow?
There is a second card which DOES show the image and opens in Preview, BUT when I try to open in Photoshop, the NEF RAW file is s greyed and won't open.
I would REALLY like to save this images if possible. Any hope would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
J.

Presumably you have checked to see if the images can be viewed if you put the card back in the Nikon - and tried a USB connection from the camera.
You could try changing the 'Image Capture' (in Applications) Preferences and see if the files are recognised.
There is also 'Graphic Converter' (in Applications) which might be able to get useable files from the camera or the reader - although this old bundled version(4.9) doesn't mention your file format.
If no joy, Lexar have a utility that might help

No consolation I know, but I get that that really comforting "unplugging" message sometimes, even when the reader and CF card with Canon RAW files has been properly dismounted...

How can I open raw images in Camera RAW on a small / low resolution screen?

When traveling, I use Photoshop Elements 8 on a small netbook. RAW files open directly in Elements editor, bypassing the Camera RAW utility. Is this because of the size and resolution of my computer (1024 x 600 max)? Is there a way to use the RAW editor on this netbook (aside from connecting it to a larger monitor)?

Yes, that's why and no, sorry, there isn't a workaround unless you can get your screen res higher, which you probably can't. The window won't open because it can't fit.

Can't open AppStore and Email app after installing the OSX Update 10.8.3

Hi there, after I installed the OSX 10.8.3 update I can't open my Email and App Store apps. This is the popup message that appears when i try to open those apps. I tried to reinstall the app but I can't open my App Store. I also downloaded and installed the OSX Update 10.8.3 and the 10.8.2 again from the download support page, but I couldn't solve my problem. Does anyone knows how can i fix it?

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

Can't open email items from search after installing Lync 2013 client

Hello,
We're deploying Lync 2013 in our environment.
At the moment we're using Office 2010 on the clients.
For testing the deployment I've installed the Lync 2013 client.
After installing, when I perform a search on my pc and outlook items are found, they suddenly appear with an Outlook 2013 icon.
When doubleclicking, nothing happens, neither when I rightclick.
I've checked the "associate a file type or protocol with a prgram", and "set your default programs" in the control panel.
In neither of them I can find the Outlook 2013 icon, and for email, every file type is configured to open with Outlook 2010.
Does anyone know what might be the problem. We have this problem with every user for which we install the Lync 2013 client.

You can do the following to restore functionality:
If you have office 2010 use the keys below, the Lync install will change them to Office15:

Can't open Word or Quark Xrpress after installing Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Security Update 2012-001 Bricks Rosetta programs
Restore method.
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. That's all you need to do at this time, disconnect all drives now to prevent mistakes.
#2 Try Restoring from a TimeMachine or option bootable clone
If you have TimeMachine drive, or a hold the option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from.
Note: A TM restore can take a awfully long time, a clone restore takes under 2 hours in most cases.
#3 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
If no TM or bootable clone then:
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility to >Repair Disk and Permissions (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: If Disk Repair gives a error that is not repaired, then you have to consider erasing the drive (with Zeros) and try reinstalling 10.6 fresh or replacing the drive.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
#4 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#5 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason.
If you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall old programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

#9 Unverified hacks
Note: You may see a "hack" for this issue floating around, it has had mixed results as people's software is different.
You may want to try it, but it's at your own risk. It has worked fast for some and not at all for others, hopefully over time it will work for all.
The above methods I outline are Apple approved restore methods + based upon experience here and not a quick fix, but are sure to work as Apple recommends such steps themselves.
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
If at any time you feel this is beyond your capability, please seek local professional assistance before you lose your data.
If you don't have any backup, please maintain at least a TM drive, just hook up a new blank external drive and TM will ask you to make a backup, takes some time so let it work.
If your a bit more skilled, a option bootable clone is much superior than TM drive.
Good luck
