Do I HAVE to upgrade to version 3 to see my Canon 60d RAW files?

I have the student edition of Lightroom 2 and have loved it for my Canon Rebel. I recently upgraded to a Canon 60d and am unable to access my raw files.
I really do not have the extra cash to shell out for an upgrade to version 3 at this point. Is there any other way for me to use and edit my raw files?
Thank you!

Support for the Canon 60D was introduced with ACR 6.2 (LR3.2. The work around would be to use the Latest DNG Converter to convert the raw files from your camera to DNG files. Then import the DNG files into Lightroom 2. and you will be fine. When you do the conversion its a good practice to retain the original raw files for use with your camera manufactures software, which will not work with the DNG copies. Also if you have not done so you should update your version 2 to the latest 2.7.
The link for the DNG converter is here.

Adobe Lightroom 5.7 does not recognize Canon 60D raw files. I have Camera Raw plugin 8.7 installed. Is there solution?

Neither Bridge CS6 or Lightroom 5.7 can recognize Canon's raw file (Canon Camera 60D).
This only started a few months ago without any change that I made to the system
Any clues?

Is this only when reading CR2 files on the camera memory card or also for CR2 files that were previously imported to your hard drive (i.e. ALL of your 60D CR2 files)?
LR 5.7.1 is only at Camera Raw 8.7. so OK. What Bridge, PS, and OS versions are installed? In Bridge go to Help> About Bridge
From inside Bridge launch any raw file and check the ACR version:
From inside PS go to Help> System Info and check PS and OS version:

Can't open canon g16 raw files. I have updated to Adobe camera raw 8.2 and am working with PS CS6.

Here is my issue, I can't open the Raw files from my new Canon G16. I have run all the Photoshop updates and even installed the Camera raw 8.2 update but still cannot open my raw files. The will open in Canons digital photo professional program so I know they are not broken files. I have even installed the DNG converter and they will not even open with that. What am I doing wrong? I bought this camera specifically for the ability to shoot in raw. My canon 60d raw files work fine.

Why on Earth did you upgrade only to ACR 8.2 ?
The current version of ACR is ACR 8.4. You should ALWAYS update to the latest version. Once a camera model is supported, it will be supported in all subsequent releases of ACR.
Beside new camera support, each ACR update contains any number of unannounced, unheralded bug fixes, improvements and enhancements.
What is the exact version of your OS and of your Photoshop CS6? For instance, if you're on a Mac, you should be running Photoshop CS6 13.0.6. I can't remember offhand what the latest version for CS6 is.
Did you install ACR correctly. ACR 8.2 should work for your camera (but update ACR anyway). What version shows up when yo go to About Plug-in… > Camera Raw.
You of course need to relaunch Photoshop, maybe even reboot your machine, and then Purge the Cache in Bridge.

Have just upgraded to version 4 and when I go to Goggle search for a website it shows me a list but will not open any.

Have just upgraded to version 4 and when I go to Goggle search for a website it shows me a list but will not open any. If I use the bookmarks all of the websites open perfectly. I've closed Firefox down and opened again and a message says "how embarassing" and tells me to restore or start a new session. Have tried both but still will not let me open any websites on the google search page.

. I did however, delete the majority of my photos off of iPhoto after I backed them up because I needed room in my library.
exactly how did you delete these photos?

Do i have to upgrade from version 10.6.8 to use icloud on my mac book air?

do i have to upgrade from version 10.6.8 to use icloud on my mac book air?

I'm afraid so. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

I have Lightroom 4 and CS6 Beta and neither recognizes the raw files coming from the 5D Mark III

Now what do I do? Do I uninstall both and reinstall? What a pain since I have all these presets and actions! How come the raw files are not recognized?

Thank you! Glad to know the problem is not on my end!
In the meantime if you just can't wait to edit your 5D Mk III files (I know I couldn't ) you can get the DNG converter version 6.7RC and convert the .cr2 files to .dng where LR and PS can work with them.

I have a new Mark3 D 5, I can't open Raw files

I have a new Mark3 D 5, I can't open Raw files I've shot in LR 3, I read I would be able to in LR 4 or 5. Because my mac is 10.6.8 I prefer to get LR 4 so I don't have to also update my operating system. Will LR 4 open my rw files in Mark3 D5. What about my older files in LR 3 will I loose the catalogs when I do this?

Thanks John, I ordered the software from Adorama and I'm expecting it today. I did use a DNG converger, I found it kind of slow, maybe thats because of the file size.
I'm curious to see if the conversion files will look the same as the direct raw files I'm used to seeing in Lightroom. It'll be good to compare. While waiting I looked at the files in Digital Photo Professional and the files looked incredible. I was able to open one at a time in PS but in TIFF format. Not the most practical but impressive. I'm loving the D5 Mark 111
after one go at it.

I have reinstalled cc and vhen i want to open a raw-fil the picture opens in PS CS5 insted of in CC2014. How kan i connekt my raw files to CC2014

I have reinstalled cc and when i want to open a raw-fil the picture opens in PS CS5 insted of in CC2014.
How can i connect my raw-files to CC2014?

You should have Bridge CC installed for CC 2014.
In Windows, right-click on a raw file, and select "choose default program". Photoshop CC 2014 should be listed. Select it. "Always open this file with this program" should also be checkmarked.
If CC 2014 is not on the list, look for the Browse button at the bottom and go to Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CC2014 and click on the Photoshop CC 2014.exe to choose it and add to the list.
In Bridge CC Edit > Preferences > File Type Associations, look for your raw file type (CR2 or Nef) and select Photoshop CC 2014 deom the drop-down menu.

Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

Here is the contents of a batch file which will convert whatever raws you drop on it:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter" -cr7.1 -dng1.4 -p0 %*
Once you download the latest converter (release candidate from adobe labs, if necessary), and save the appropriate contents of the batch file (change path to match your system, and parameters to match your druthers, if applicable), the procedure is:
1. Drop raw files on bat file.
2. Import as usual (the DNGs).
Not too bad once you're set up (if DNG converter supports your raws).
Documentation:
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/photoshop/pdfs/dng_commandline.pd f
Note: on Mac, you may need to use "$@" (with the double-quotes) instead of %* (which is dos batch syntax), and you will need to use the full path to the converter executable file, e.g.
“/Applications/Adobe DNG Converter.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe DNG Converter”
If too much, just use the GUI instead of the bat file.

I have just upgraded to Maverick and now I cannot find certain files. These JPG's are there on my hard drives however . I rely heavily on the search facility and this is slowing me down.

I have just upgraded to Maverick and now I cannot find certain JPG 's . These files do exist however I can find them manually . I rely on the search facility and this is slowing me down, I am having to trawl through stuff to find the file I want , before I would put in part of the title and the machine would find it.

In addition to what Allen says, you may find these search tools helpful:

I upgraded to PSE 13 so I could edit RAW files from my Sony a6000 but PSE 13 is not recognizing any of the RAW files. My Sony a6000 is on the Camera Raw list and uses version 8.4. PSE 13 uses Version 8.6. Why isn't it recognizing the files?.

Why isn't PSE13 recognizing my Sony a6000 RAW files?

Not sure if upgrading to 8.7 would make any difference. Photoshop has 8.7 so worth a try:
I don't use PSE13 yet so don't know if this upgrade is available for it.

How to open Canon 70D Raw files in PSE9? [was:Raw upgrade]

Can someone help? I have just bought a Canon 70D but my copy of Photoshop Elements 9 won't read the raw files. It was OK with the raw files from my 450D. I have tried downloading the upgrade to raw 6.5 (although I'm not sure that is what will solve it) but when I try to do so Internet explorer can't cope and my computer flashes on and off until I have to hard boot. I would like to just submit this question to Adobe but I can't find a way to do so! (I have tried)
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

The EOS 70D was first supported by Camera Raw 8.2 (current version).
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
PSE9 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.5 - so PSE9 won't open your Raw files
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
So you either need to upgrade to PSE12 (to open and edit the Raw 70D files in PSE)
or convert your Raw files to DNGs using Adobe's free DNG converter then edit the DNG files in PSE9.

Lightroom 3 on OSX version 10.8.5 - not reading raw files

I have a new mackbrook pro, osx, version 10.8.5 with Lightroom 3. The program will open but will not read my raw files. Do I need an update for Lightroom 3? If so, which update? Iphoto will read the raw images and I can drag images from iphoto into lightroom but Lightroom will not load the raw images from my camera. Please help.

If you have to work with it, I would simply import through the finder to a folder on your hard disk and then import from there. You might have to set up the USB communication mode on your camera to Mass storage isntead of PtP (should be somewhere buried in the menus). Changing that setting might help with the direct Lightroom import too. You might also get better results going through a card reader (you can get them at many places for <$10) instead of connecting directly to the camera which is always a recipe for problems and slow imports. A card reader is a good investment as they usually are MUCH faster than going through the camera's USB connection.
A Lightroom upgrade to v5 is $79 dollars. It might be worth it to think about. I understand tight money though and sometimes even $80 is a big deal but you might not have been aware you can get upgrade pricing if you have LR 3. ANother option is getting the creative cloud photographer deal which is $10/month and includes both the full version of Photoshop and Lightroom. I don't like the idea of rental software but that is quite the deal.

Do I HAVE to upgrade to version 3 to see my Canon 60d RAW files?
