Canon G16 problems downloading RAW into lightroom 4

Hi just had a Canon G16 as a birthday present. Love it.
I have lightroom 4 and my computer is running the latest edition of Snow leopard.
But am having problems downloading RAW images. Lightroom doesn't seem to want to read them.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

The Powershot G16 needs LR 5.2 or newer to work:

LR needs OSX 10.7.x or newer to work

You can try the DNG Converter 8.2 and see if it’ll run on your OS, and if so, then convert the G16 raw files to DNGs and those will open in your older LR4:

  • Problems downloading RAW files into Lightroom 4 from a 70D camera.

    I had a canon rebel xsi and had been able to download my RAW files to lightroom 4.  However, I have recently bought a 70D and is won't download into Lightroom 4.  I have been told that Lightroom 4 doesn't support the 70D and I have to upgrade to Lightroom 5.  Is this correct, or can I get some kind of plug in?  Also if Lightroom 5 how much would it be for me to upgrade, is an "upgrade" cheaper to someone who has already got Lightroom 4.

    Once you buy LR 5 you can install any of the LR 5.x versions where LR 5.7 just came out and supports the newest cameras, like the Nikon D750 or Canon 7D Mark II along with all earlier models.
    It would be wise to download and install the LR 5.7 as a trial and make sure it works for you before buying the upgrade.  The minimum OS is 10.7 and Win 7, I think, so if you’re on XP or Vista or OS X 10.6 then you’re out of luck.
    The various version of LR are available on the Adobe Updates site:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    They will run in trial mode for 30 days or until you enter appropriate serial numbers.

  • Cannot import RAW into Lightroom 4 (Sony@500)

    I am unable to import my RAW files into Lightroom 4.  My camera is a Sony Alpha 500 DSLR.
    All reasearch I've done online hasn't resulted in any help.  Has anyone else had this issue?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Give a little more info. Are you trying to import direct from the camera, from a card reader, or are the files on your hard drive.
    If you are getting a message that the files "could not be read" it is possible that you may be trying to copy the files to a location where you may not have full permission to read and write.
    Your camera is listed as supported.
    Are you updated to the latest version of LR 4.4?

  • Problem importing images into Lightroom 5.6

    I use an iMac 10.9.5. I've been importing CR2 files converting to DNG into Lightroom 5.6 with no problems.
    Suddenly, files are taking an age to import and Lightroom hangs without loading all the files. I have to force quit Lightroom and then my computer hangs and won't shut down. I close by holding the button down on the back of the iMac. Then Lightroom fails to open. After many attempts I've managed to start Lighroom again but I still have the same problem loading the files. I have tried deleting the com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist file in the Preferences folder, as suggested on this forum but that hasn't cured the problem. I don't know whether this has caused a problem but I used a Transcend multi card reader for the first time this week instead of my usual reader. Perhaps there was some kind of issue with compatibility although there shouldn't have been. Now though, I can't upload from my old card reader properly either.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for your reply dj..paige. It could have been the new card reader that caused the initial problem but I used more than one card so I don't think the card is the problem. The original reader wouldn't work either.
    Update: Lightroom now seems to be back to normal. I don't know why but it seems to have sorted itself out. Perhaps deleting the com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist file in the Preferences folder had an effect after all, after a few attempts at opening and closing Lightroom.
    I'm sending the Transcend multi card reader back for a refund as I'm sure this started the problem.
    I've wasted two days sorting this - nightmare!

  • Problem with Importing into Lightroom

    I have Lightroom 5.3 64 bit installed on a Windows 7 SP1 machine. I have two pairs of mirrored HDDs for image file storage.
    I: and J: are both mirrored pairs of HDDs (four discs). When I first imported the "Panorama images" image files on the (I:) drive into Lightroom, the file called "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" was corrupted on the drive; the "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" files were not accessible from Lightroom or Photoshop or Windows. (The screen shot above is comparable to a before-and-after screen shot; the (J:) is like the before and the (I:) is like the after screen shot. The "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" file is there before importing into LR, but it is missing after "Panorama images" is imported into LR.) 
    Below is what Windows and Lightroom showed after the Import of "Panorama images" into LR.
    I replaced the "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" file, from backup media. I tried Importing the files a second time, and the same thing happened again. At that point I gave up on importing any part of the "Pano" image files into LR.
    Next: I also have image capture files, camera card downloads, archived on the same mirrored arrays, in the "My Pictures" file. When I tried to Import the latest file of camera images into Lightroom from "My Pictures", LR again erased or corrupted the "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" files, on both arrays, and again "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" disappeared, and again I had to replace it from backup media.
    This is very irritating. Very very irritating. At this point it makes Lightroom more harmful that useless.

    The reason for the different drive designation is the assignment when the drives have been remounted.. The first time this occurred, the machine had one two-drive-array, "Photo Storage RAID (F:)". When I imported into LR the "Panorama images" file, the  "8 bit Panos Adobe RGB"  file path was lost. The files could not be found in PS or LR.  Windows Explorer could not find the files, and showed the odd "8BITAD-1". All of the other files in the "Panorama images" file were imported into the LR catalog.
    I then replaced both discs in the RAID array with new HDDs, and rewrote the files on to them, and remounted the array (new letter assignment for the drive). I then, a few months later, tried to again Import the Panorama images file into LR. And the exact same thing happened.
    I removed and rewrote both arrays, the new disc pair and the old disc pair, and remounted them, now they are drives (I:) and (J:). (One pair is  mounted to the board disc controller, and the other pair is mounted on a PCI SATA controler card,
    I then imported "My pictures" (not the "Panorama Images" file) from the (I:) drive into LR, and the "8 bit Adobe RGB panos" again disappeared from the (I:) drive, That is the top screen capture. I then tried to Import the "My Pictures" file from the (J:) drive, and the "8 bits Adobe RGB panos" file disappeared from the (J:) drive; the (J:) file path looked the same as the (I:) file paths in the top screen capture. 
    LR imported about one half of the "My Pictures" files from the drives; all files between 2016 and 2012 were not imported into the LR catalog (The "My pictures" content files are named by dates, year_month_day). 
    LR is installed on a 250 gig SSD, and the catalog is also located there. (I have used PS with mirrored arrays since Windows 2000 and BX-133 MBs and PS5,)
    (when the 8 bit panos go missing, they are missing from windows too)

  • Problems downloading raw files in elements 8

    Hello, I have elements 8 and cannot download raw files from my Canon 650D, is there a fix for this?
    Many thanks

    You have three alternatives:
    (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original CR2’s as backup) or (3) Use Canon DPP bundled with your camera.
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    You can convert a whole folder of CR2 images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Problems importing video into Lightroom 5.3

    I am using LR 5.3 on a Macbook running Mavericks.  Since upgrading from Lightroom 4 I have had trouble importing videos into Lightroom. 
    The generic video thumbnail appears, but the import hangs and never completes.  When cancelling the import the error message is shown "No photos or video were found to import."
    After reading on various forums I have tried:
    restarting computer (many times)
    uninstalling previous version of LR
    purging video cache
    changing source location
    changing destination and/or import type
    reinstalling LR5.3
    I have also noted that old videos already in the catalogue that played fine in LR4 won't play back in LR5.3.  They play fine in Quicktime.
    Has anyone else solved this problem?

    Hi InVisionMedia
    I found a Simular Poste regarding this topic: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5397854
    So going over it might enlighting you on the issue. Also i would suggest to start with the Basic Troubleshoot for Playback issues on Lightroom: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/troubleshoot-video-issues-lightroom-4.html
    If you have Lightroom 4 still installed, Also make sure that you can still use the footage in the original L4 catalog.
    See if the files still work fine in the "old" version.
    Hopefully it will help you to fix the issue.

  • IN Camera Raw for Aperture the why won't the Canon G16 photos download?

    I've had no success in downloading my RAW photos from the new Canon Powershot G16 into my Aperture Project library. Does Apple need to update the RAW compatibility software or is there another way to get my RAW files to work in Aperture?

    The list of currently supported cameras is here:
    Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    The new Canon Powershot G16 is not yet on the list, but the previous model Canon Powershot G15 is supported in Aperture 3.4 or later. So you have to wait for Apple to release a new raw support version.
    While you are waiting, you have several options:
    Shoot raw&jpeg and use the jpeg as originals; you can switch this later to use the raw
    Or use the software that comes with your camera to develope the raw and import tiff or another lossless format.

  • Problems downloading photos into iPhoto

    Attached is an example of what is happening to about 10% of the photos I am downloading to iPhoto.  I tried 2 different camera and they bath had the same problem.  Any ideas?

    The problem started when I noticed other problems with my hard drive.  I had the hard drive replaced and the problem still exists.  I am running OS X Yosemite , 10.10.2.  I photo version 9.6.  I am shooting raw.  When i first set up to download all the pictures look fine.  During the download process is when the problem shows up.  The first camera I noticed on was my Canon 7D.  I just bought the 7D MKii and it is doing the same thing.  Like I said, I have used different cards and cables but the problem still exists.

    Hi, since 2 weeks I have a new camera Canon eos 700D. Now my Lightoom 4 and Elements 11 don't recognize my RAW photo's. Who can help? I cannot find the download of tthe RAW version

    You need at least Lightroom 4.4 (which you should be able to download free and install if you already own a legal license for Lightroom 4)
    For PSE, you would need to download and install Adobe Camera Raw 7.4

  • Problem importing pictures into lightroom 5.4 on a Mac.

    I have lighroom 5.4 on a Mac and I am having some trouble importing pictures into my library on lightroom. The other day I was trying to import some from another folder in my computer and the files were showing up empty (although they were not). And today I was trying to import from an SD card and I was having the same problem. I shoot in raw on a Nikon. So what can I do to fix this problem?
    This is what it looks like when I try to import

    Ask in the LR forum and provide exact technical info - "I shot raw on Nikon" and "on a Mac" is not.

  • Problem downloading RAW + JPGS

    I shot RAW + JPG. There is a problem. When trying to download the card it would freeze the whole computer. I went and downloaded just the jpgs. I then deleted some of the bad shots. I then downloaded the RAW file only of that image that I had deleted. It downloaded fine. So there is a problem with doing the RAW + jpg. I've done it before on my laptop that is old, Tiger, and has iPhoto 06. But now I want to do it on my brand new Mac that has Leopard and iPhoto 08.
    So how do you work around the computer being able to download both RAW + jpg?

    Deborah:
    Other users have reported the same problem. If they were to shoot both RAW and JPG they couldn't import into iPhoto. When the shot either RAW or JPEG alone they could. Since iPhoto creates a jpg version of each RAW file that is imported why not just shoot RAW alone?
    To workaround the problem use a card reader to upload the files to a folder one the desktop first or us Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, to manually upload to a folder on the desktop. IMO using a card reader is preferred as it saves wear and tear on the camera's ports and battery.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I can't download any app into my iPAD, but I have no problem downloading app into my iPhone. Using same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone.

    HELP!
    I couldn't download any app into my iPAD. Puzzled by this strange condition, I tried downloading the same chosen app into my iPhone. It worked!
    I use the same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone. So why is it not working for my iPad? Previously, both devices were working fine!
    I hope that somebody can help me solve this problem.

    Do the apps show as installed on the Purchased tab in the App Store app ? If they show as installed, then have you got any restrictions set on Settings > General > Restrictions (e.g. Allowed Content > Apps) that might be hiding them ?
    You could try closing the App Store app completely and then seeing if it downloads after you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e.not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    You could also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    And try logging out, and then back in, with your iTunes account : Settings > Store
