DNG Converter suddenly stopped working, won't read NEF files

Hi all, I'm new here, but am looking for some help.
I currently am on a mac book and run photoshop CS3. I've been shooting with a nikon d700 in raw. When I upload the photos to my computer I've previously run them through the DNG converter without a problem. Now, for the past two days it has just stopped working. When I try to convert the NEF files, they are just greyed out, I can't select anything. I tried reinstalling the DNG converter, but still no luck.
I never had any issues with it before, and now it suddenly won't read my files. Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thank you!

Had you run the DNG on a Mac before? On the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders only, not on individual files (unless you use the Finder to drop the icons of your raw files on the DNG Converter application icon). From within the application, using File > Open, the icon and names of individual raw files will always appear grayed out.
You need to target the folder that contains the files you want to convert.
CAVEAT: all eligible files in the folder will be converted, including any and all DNG files that may already be contained in the folder. So if you have any DNGs in that folder, they will also be converted again and the original DNGs may be overwritten.

DNG Converter suddenly stopped converting "There was an error writing this file"

I shoot on a Nikon D7000. Have a Macbook and CS4. Have been using DNG converter for at least a year and today, suddenly...5 files into converting a folder from NEF to DNG, it stopped working. I have restared the program. Restarted the computer. Reinstalled the program. Ran updates on all Adobe software and still no luck. I can't get it to convert a sinlge file from the folder I was working in or any other NEF file on my computer.
Very weird. It worked fine. I had never had a problem with it until today.
Any clue what's happening? HELP!!

I had the same problem. My 2 cent:
(1) Reboot your computer [I work in I.T., this usually fixes all the problems users are experiencing]
(2) Make sure you have space in your destination/source directory where the images are going to be added.
This is what happened to me: I selected my memory card where all the (RAW) images are located. My "save to" location happened to also be my memory card. Basically, I had no more space on my memory card, but I was asking Adobe DNC to convert and save/add those images into the same location, my memory card. Which gave me the exact error message you are reporting.
Fix: I just created a new destiatoin/location on my computer's hard drive where Adobe DNC can save those converted images. Works for me; I hope it works for you.

Help: CS3 Design Premium suddenly stopped working, won't reinstall

I have a licensed copy of Adobe CS3 Design Premium for Windows (on a machine w/Vista), and everything was working fine until this past weekend, when I was suddenly unable to access any of the programs (with the exception of Acrobat). Every time I tried to open one of the CS3 applications, I'd get an error message saying that there was a problem with the program, and I would have to uninstall and reinstall. So, I uninstalled the entire suite, but every time I try to reinstall, at the end of the process I get an uninformative message stating that "Some problems occurred during installation", and a message under each of the components stating "Component install failed".
Nothing on my computer has changed recently -- I haven't added any software, hardware, or otherwise done anything unusual that might cause this problem. I use this software on a daily basis, so it's become quite a problem for me.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, always with the same result.
Any help would be appreciated.

PS CS5.1 suddenly stops working correctly when opening another file

Hi, I have the Creative Suite cs5.1 student version (had it for about a year now), and now recently I have started to encounter a strange bug with Photoshop.
Sometimes when I have been working in PS for a while and then open another file, the photoshop starts acting weird, resulting in the file looking like this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14462293/wtf.png
And if I try to paint anything, it will look pixelated like in this file: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14462293/wtf2.png and if I use ctrl+z after painting the paint just looks like this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14462293/wtf3.png
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14462293/wtf3.pngthe 2 last named effects will also apply for any images opened before this occurrence, and it happens for any file type.
I have checked my video card drivers, and they are up to date, so that's not a problem (My graphics card is ATI Radeon 5700 series). I've also run a throughout virus scan with Norton without it finding anything.
Any advice would be appreciated

Actualyl they still might be. Having the latest and newest is not always the most reliable. According to Noel Carboni, the best driver for ATI cards and any version of PS at this point is Catalyst 12.8, not the latest 12.10. So in fact you may simply need to downgrade to fix these problems.

Lightroom 5.7, latest ACR and DNG converter don't support my new D7200 NEF files.

When will they be updated to do so? This should be a very popular camera. I'm crippled until I can shoot and process RAW files.

My iPhone has suddenly stopped working. It now says the battery is dying and to charge it. After charging it for over an hour, there is no change. The power won't come on, and I am left with a blank screen advising me to plug my phone into the charger.

Try different USB Cable, try different Charger. Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, most likely it could be battery or charging port assembly that need replacement.

Plug it into the charger/wall socket and let it charge for at least an hour. It just might start charging. If you have already tried charging it for a fair amount of time and it didn't work, try restoring the device with iTunes.

WiFi Suddenly Stopped Working

ver since I've owned the 3Gs, the WiFi has been working fine, and I had not experienced any issues with it as has been reported. However, tonight it suddenly stopped working.
I can still connect to my network. However, the phone won't keep a lease. I've tried configuring it with a static ip with the same result. I've also tried resetting the network settings. We have four computers that connect without issues to the wireless network.
Has anyone else experienced this particular issue? Any ideas or suggestions?

I haven't experienced this personally. I do know there's an issue in OS 3.0 that may prevent users from connecting to Wifi networks; the other side of that bug is that users may connect but will have 1 Wifi bar, even if they're in front of the router.
I'd say reset the Network Settings (Settings > General > Reset) and see what happens. Be aware that upon connecting to your network again, it will ask you for the encryption password so do have that ready. If that doesn't work, as always, you can perform a Restore through iTunes; however after that restore, be sure to select the "Setup as New Phone" option. Restoring from previous settings will copy that "bad" preference file back over. Perhaps before restoring it, try simply restarting the phone.
Oh, and before you do the restore, perhaps you may want to hop into a Starbucks really quickly. As iPhone users, we get free Wifi there, and it may be a good place to see whether the iPhone can hold the connection.

Mic suddenly stopped working

Okay so. I have a Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 headset which has been working great since I got it a couple months ago, well today it suddenly stopped working skype says my mic is muted and it's not, I can hear myself through the headset which means it's on and at least working but apperently it's my computer that's not picking it up and I have no idea what it possibly could be, I'm on Windows 7 btw.
Also skype kept moving the mic volume thing all the way down but I don't know if that's related at all.

When I make a call my mic doesn't work. Looks like I'm not the only one experiencing problems. Skype is slow and often won't even hook up. Tried my wifes mac with same result, my blackberry phone same result. I've become aware of how dependend on SKYPE i am.

Hello, my backspace and enter keys suddenly stopped working. I have done a PRAM reset and used the keyboard viewer to see if the buttons work and they don't. The PRAM reset didn't work either

Dear All, the backspace and enter keys on my wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working. Im using OS 10.7.5 and have tried a PRAM reset which didn't work. I also used the keyboard viewer to see if the keys worked on that but they don't. This is driving me mad, can anyone please tell me what to do? It happened just after an update but this could be a coincidence. Thank you for your time

For my computers, though some of them support BlueTooth devices and accessories,
my preference and economy of standard, is to have wired USB and also use powered
USB hubs for accessories.
I've used USB wired keyboards and mouse products; and some I've bought from the
original owners who had upgraded to BT, and never used the new Apple USB model;
so I have spares of these on-hand since they seldom fail, but do work when BT won't.
{A SMC reset should not cause a problem, or seldom has; but can solve some.}
In my opinion, the wired USB keyboard is an essential accessory, if not a necessary
primary means of user access on a continuous basis. At least until the wires fail...!

Notification center suddenly stop working

My iphone notification center suddenly stop working, it happen twice already. I tried pull down the bar and it doesnt happen.
Restart is one way fixed but is there any reason why it happen?

Okay so spent time with Apple support here are the findings:
-Mail has to be opened for notifications center to work
-If a sender was reported as spam notification won't pull-up even if you change the rules to avoid that(ongoing investigation with Apple)
-Twitter notifications will only work with people you follow so if someone that doesn't follow you sends you a tweet won't pop-up. This goes against the purpose of Twitter where you want to know who tag you in their tweets... Hopefully Apple can fix this behavior.

External hard drive stopped working, won't load

Hi There,
I have a LaCie external hard drive and I have tons of files on it. It all of a sudden stopped working. It is still getting power, but it won't connect with a computer. No warnings popup but it doesn't load. I've tried it with firewire and usb as well as on a powerbook g4 labtop and an iMac g4. Any suggestions on how to get to the files? Thanks

Welcome to Discussions - The power brick, even though it seems to be working, may be shot. Try using a brick from another drive and see if that will allow the drive to mount.
