Elements 6 for Mac doesn't recognize NEF files

When I try to open a Nikon RAW image (NEF) in Elements 6 for Mac I get the following message, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." To work with RAW is the whole reason I bought the Mac and also bought Elements! I also bought Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac the Missing Manual and followed the instructions on page 41 to set the File Associations. The Association for Nikon was already set to Elements. I also tried to follow the Tip on page 43 to change the application which opens a particular type of file and the "Change All" option is not an option as it's light gray. My equipment is brand new, the software is brand new (no upgrade) and I can't do something that seems like it should be straight forward. I've tried everything I can think of, can anyone help me .... please?

I shut everything down and when I tried again it worked!! Thanks!

Cannot open CS6, it craves JBX-plugin, and my Mac doesn't recognize the file so I can't download

I wonder why CS6 is not complete when downloaded? Why should I have to download JBX? If needed it should be a part of Indesign. My Mac doesn't have a name of a file to open and download, so now I simply don't have CS6 and can't convert my book to Kindle for sales on Amazon.
Terribly disappointed!

trying to install InDesign CS6 in order to convert my book to Kindle, but
Amazon's plug-in only works with InDesign CS6 NOT with InDesign CC.
I am attaching the Kindle Plugin also.

Camera Raw Doesn't recognize nef files

I have CS4. I upgraded camera raw plugin tp 5.6. I am shooting with Nikon D7000, Getting error message that photoshop does not recognize nef files. Please help.

Check the ACR downloads for updates. Your camera is probably newer than the version of ACR you have installed.
And despite using the same extension for their RAW files, Nikon changes the format of the data inside NEF for every camera - thus requiring ACR to be updated for each camera model.

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for mac will not recognize the file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki> 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

CS3 Bridge on Mac won't recognize .NEF files - please help

Reinstalled CS3 on mac last night per Apple request.
Re-Install appeared successful, but when I went to Bridge all I saw was generic icons and could not open .NEF files or see their preview.
So I looked in Adobe help and was advised to install latest plug in for Camera Raw, and did that. Camera Raw 4.6 is the one I chose.
I received the download for Camera Raw 4.6, but was unable to install it since the file path from the following link does not match a file path I have, or know how to follow, in my computer.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407945.html
WHen I look in Bridge (Camera Raw preferences) it still says I have the version 4.0 of Camera Raw, but I can locate Camera Raw 4.6 Plug-In on my computer, but can't locate version 4.0 on my computer.
I can double click on any raw file in my computer and it will bring me to camera raw, which I can then open in photoshop...but now I can not see a preview of the image because it only shows a generic icon.
Please help

Thank you soooo much for your quick responses. Unfortunately I had already tried both of the suggested options and found that I did not have those file paths available to me. I have since contacted Apple. They informed me that I would need to reinstall my OS, that it is not currently installed correctly. And I am therefore in the process of reinstallation of my OS. So...once that is complete, will fallow that paths as directed. If by chance fallowing the suggested paths in order to install the necessary plug-ins works. I will be off and running. If not....I will be back and in desperate need of some more help. So, please stay tuned. Again, thank you!!!

Help!!! Mac doesn't recognize PC files

I was working on a PC and saved some files onto a mobile harddrive. While still working on the PC, I created some new folders on the mobile drive and organized the files a little bit. Then I unplugged the mobile drive safely and connected it to my mac. The mac couldn't recognize the mobile drive any more and asked me whether I want to initialize the mobile drive.
I have a ibook G4 and the mobile drive had been worked fine on it before what happened today. I am very very very worried and don't know what to do. (I have important mac-only files on the mobile drive. I don't want anything bad happened to it!!!)
Please help and let me what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks....

"I have important mac-only files on the mobile drive. I don't want anything bad happened to it)"
Then copy them over to the PC for safekeeping, attach the drive to your Mac, and initialize it, as MS-DOS (FAT) so it can be read by both Mac and PC.
Attach it to the PC, and copy the files back on.

Photoshop Doesn't recognize .NEF files

I just bought a new Nikon D5000. I took the SD card out of the camera and put it in a card reader and used the Adobe photo downloader to download the pictures. Then when I went to the folder in Bridge, there were only default NEF thumbnails. When I try to open them in photoshop, I get this message: "Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file." What's up with that? Am I missing a plug-in or something? Everything works just fine with Fuji's RAF files.
Please help,
Danny

Thanks! I had to get the beta version of ACR 5.4 and now it works great. The link to adobe labs had a typo in it, "http://http//www...." which I thought was kinda funny, but everything works now.
Thanks,
Danny

My mac doesn't recognize my canon camera files called .mts Is there app to download?

I can't import MXF files shot on a Canon C300 into FCP 10.1.2. I have the Canon plug in for MXF file to FCP import but FCPX still doesn't recognize MXF files when I try to import. Premiere works fine importing MXF on the same computer.

Russ and Luis,
I did uninstall and re-install Canon XF Utility and the Canon FCPX plug in. Still no luck. I checked the CanonXF64.RADPlug folder is on my computer in the Rad Plugins folder in application support This is where it is supposed to be as far as I can figure out.
Another piece of the puzzle is that footage shot on a Canon C300 in 2013 and I reimported today and it DOES import into FCP10.1.3. Footage shot on a different Canon C300 filmed this summer will NOT import into FCPX. The latter will import into Premiere. But I am trying to work in FCPX, but maybe I shouldn’t be??
Any ideas? (screen shots below)
Thanks.
Peace, Huey
FYI Here is what Canon says
"There is another trick that works sometimes though. Try uninstalling the plugin and XF Utility. Then, install the latest XF Utility, followed by the plugin, in that order."
I did do this but no results. Otherwise they say I need to wait for a new plugin.
Here's 2014 Canon C300 files does NOT import to FCPX
Here's 2013 Canon C300 files does import into FCPX. I thought it was Contents folder but another set of footage shot on C300 does import and there is no contents folder for that.

I can't import Nikon NEF (RAW) files. It says it doesn't recognize the file. Help.

I just installed Nikon Transfer and then View NX2 with Nikon Transfer 2 and successfully transferred over 300 RAW (Nikon NEF) files from my camera (Nikon D600) but Lightroom (v5.6) won't import them. It says it doesn't recognize the files. How can I resolve this?

Obsolete versions of Nikon software corrupt Nikon raw files slightly making them unrecognized in Adobe products.
You can reverse this corruption by using the utility from the following webpage:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
Basically you need to use Nikon software that is at least as new as your newest camera or don’t use Nikon software at all.

Elements 9 Organizer - doesn't recognize .mrw format files

Using Elements 9 Organizer - it doesn't recognize .mrw file formats when imported to organizer, yet the documentation seems to clearly indicate that it should. Is there some sort of setting that is preventing it from doing what it professes to do?

When trying to import the contents of the folder, it does nothing and tell you that the folder didn't contain any recognized file types OR the files were already imported. Okay, so searching around I found it was the latter and not the former. (it seems the app could tell you). BUT, it doesn't tell you where those files are. Very funny - but not.

Photoshop no longer recognizes NEF files / won't open jpg files because of "missing marker segment"

I am running Photoshop CS6 on a 2013 iMac with OSX version 10.9.2.
1) As of today, Photoshop no longer recognizes NEF files. This has never happened before, and the files are coming from the same camera I've used for the past five years.
2) I receive the following message when I attempt to open a .jpg file "Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete)."
This is also the first time this has happened, and happens with EVERY .jpg file I attempt to open.
3) Both of these errors ONLY happen when I am opening files located on the work server. I hit COMMAND K to connect to serveral work servers -- my work space, shared collaboration folder, and an image archive that was recently moved. If I grab the file that I want and transfer it to my desktop, and open it with Photoshop from there, it works fine.
I have run all updates.
I'm not sure if this is a Mac issue (with regard to accessing the work servers) or a Photoshop issue.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Photoshop does "play nice" over networks, but seems to catch more OS and server bugs than other applications (mostly because we've added more error detection code over the years after dealing with many OS and server problems).

My Elements 9 does not recognise Raw NEF files created by my newNikon d 800.

I would be grateful if you could send me the relevant updaste so that my Elements 9 Package cn recognise RAW NEF files created by my new Nikon D 800

Unfortunately, nobody can send the relevant update since the D800 requires a more recent version of ACR than will work in PSE 9.
You have three options:
1. Use the Nikon software to convert the files and then use PSE for any additional editing to the converted images.
2. Upgrade to PSE 11.
3. Download the free adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your NEFs to a format that your version of ACR can understand:
