Help Cannot Read any of my NEF (Nikon RAW) with iPhoto '08

I recently upgraded to iPhoto '08 and also to an Intel-based iMac (24in 2.8Ghz).
But now I cannot import, view or manipulate any of my old NEF (Nikon RAW format) pictures. Strangely, I also cannot view them in my Aperture. Previously, using PowerPC Mac, I had no problems viewing both.
Is this a compatibility issue with the Intel-based Macs? Is it an issue with the latest version of iPhoto?
Is this something I can solve, or will I need to convert all my NEF files to JPEG using Nikon software? Which I'd really rather not do since I have a vast number of them.
Thank you so much.

RAW support is a function of the OS rather than iPhoto or Aperture. I would download and re-apply the 10.4.10 update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads.
Dont forget to repair permissions after.

HP BD ROM Cannot read any disk

Hi,
HP BD ROM BC 5541H cannot read any disk cd / dvd.I tried these troubleshooting steps, but I still can't solve the problem. What should I do next? 1-Microsoft Fix it. 2- sfc /scannow, Scan result ( windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations. ) 3- Uninstall device from device manager and install again, device manager status ("This device is working properly").but rom have same behaviour , no any change.
Please help me.... how to diagnose/solve problem ?
Regards,
Minhas

You might check to see if you have the most current BIOS installed.
You might also try removing it from device manager.
Install the Intel Chipset Driver
Then reboot and let it reinstall it self.

Thunderbird encrypted the mail inbox and I cannot read any email

When I open the inbox, all emails are encrypted (with symbols and numbers) and I cannot read any email. How I can recover all the emails or solve the problem?

Thunderbird does not encrypt anything. What you are seeing is more than likely file corruption.
Right click the problem folder and select Properties. Then Repair Folder.
Be prepared to lose messages if the corruption is too bad.
Read this article about system maintenance to help prevent this in the future.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Cannot read any form posted data

I create a web server :
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
public class TestWeb extends Thread {
    Socket soc;
    ServerSocket server;
    InputStream is;
    BufferedReader br;
    public void run() {
        try {
            while (true) {
                soc = server.accept();
                if (soc!=null)
                is = soc.getInputStream();
                br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
                String line = "";
                while (line!=null) {
                    line = br.readLine();
                    if (line==null) continue;
                    System.out.println(line);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println(ex.toString());
    public TestWeb() {
        try {
            server = new ServerSocket(80);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println(ex.toString());
    public static void main(String[] arg) {
        try {
            new TestWeb().start();
            System.in.read();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println(ex.toString());
}It can read the header when someone connect to this server
However, it cannot read any form posted data.
Does anybody have any idea?
The following is the html source that i use in a browser to connect to the test server
<HTML><BODY>
<CENTER><H1><FONT COLOR=BLUE><B>Test</B></FONT></H1></CENTER>
<HR>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://127.0.0.1">
    <INPUT TYPE=TEXT VALUE="abcde">
    <SELECT>
      <OPTION VALUE="1">1</OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE="2">2</OPTION>
    </SELECT>
    <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
</BODY></HTML>

I would expect the form data posted to be received. For example, the user chooses the option value and the text input value.
This test is hang just after receiving the header information and no parameters collected.

My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module.

My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure, highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information reflected in the histogram.
This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to look the same.
Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng to see if this is a work around.
Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X 10.10.1
Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

Happy New Year!
The Develop panel Tone settings in your Dec 31 screenshot show both the Highlights and Shadows controls set to negative values (-48 and -19). For most images (such as this model shot) they should be set to opposite values (-Highlights and +Shadows). To try and duplicate your issue I used negative values for both of these controls with a similar high contrast image. I noticed that the Shadows control becomes non-linear when both the Highlights and Shadows controls are set to negative values. As I moved the Shadows control from a positive value the Shadows clipping indicator comes ON as expected. Moving the Shadows control to a value caused the clipping indicator to turn OFF and moving it further negative caused it to turn back ON again.
The following screenshots demonstrate the issue with only Highlights & Shadows controls applied as shown.
The Highlights & Shadows controls set just to the threshold of extinguishing the clipping indicators.
Moving the Shadows control toward negative causes the Shadow clipping indicator to come ON (as expected), but at-13 it goes OFF again!
Moving the Shadows control further negative causes the Shadows clipping indicator to come back ON at -33.
This is probably normal behavior for the PV2012 Image Adaptive Tone controls as they were not designed to be used way (- - or ++ Highlights & Shadows). The PV2012 Tone controls all interact with each other, which is why it is suggested to adjust them from the Top down starting with Exposure. For most images using -Highlights and +Shadows of near equal value produces good results.
I still can't duplicate the change in clipping indicators after selecting another image, so it may be unique to certain camera models and/or lighting conditions.
SUGGESTION
Try one of the image files that exhibits this issue using the following PV2102 Tone control adjustment procedure:
Start with all of the Tone controls at their default 0 settings and adjust them from the top-down in the order shown below.
Set Exposure to correct midtone brightness ignoring the highlight and shadow areas for now. Setting Exposure slightly higher (+.25 to +.50 EV) than what looks correct for the midtones seems to work best with most images.
Leave Contrast at 0 for now. It’s usually better to adjust this after the first pass.
Adjust Highlights so that blown out areas are recovered and “fine tonal detail” is revealed.
Adjust Shadows to reveal fine detail in dark areas. For most normal images simply setting +Shadows = -Highlights (Example +50 and -50) works very well.
The Whites control sets the white clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
The Blacks control sets the black clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
Now go back and adjust the Contrast control to establish the best midtone contrast
If necessary “touch-up” the controls using the same top-down workflow.
If the issue persists I suggest Exporting an image to DNG file format with the settings that exhibit the issue and post it to Dropbox or other file download site.

New install of CS3 won't open NEF (Nikon RAW) images

New install of CS3 on my new PC laptop won't open NEF (Nikon RAW) images. Same PC product opens them on my older desktop, and CS5 for MAC opens them on my iMAC.
What am I missing? CS3 has been registered and activated. Thank you

Hi, Again, John,
I followed the instructions to the letter, and nothing worked. I still got the wrong kind of file message. After I tried to use the plug-in, I could no longre open pages in IE or Firefox. I have to wipe my new computer and reinstall everything. This time, I made CS3 the first thing I installed, and followed the instruction again as follows:
"Windows
®
1. Exit Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
4. Navigate to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats.
5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to anot
her location (for example, a new folder on your
desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, fr
om the download into the same folder as Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge."
Still unable to open RAW images in PS. I did notice that the two files I copied to the desktop folder were the same, although one was slightly larger than the other. I chose to keep both.
Why is CS3 working on my desktop from the same disk with no plu-in, but not on my new laptop? Is it Windows 8.1 instead of XP? That doesn't make much sense. PLEASE help. This is insane.

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to whether you can work with Apple via email on this issue I can't say for sure, but you can contact them via this web page:

Any way to improve response time with iPhoto 8.1.2 using Mountain Lion ?

Any way to improve response time with iPhoto 8.1.2 using Mountain Lion ? Can you store photos on a separate hard drive and use a smaller file for openning iphoto?

How did you move your iPhoto library to the new system? the recommended way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Can see shared CD drives on MBA, but cannot read any data from disks

Puzzling one here.
Have a MBA and am trying to use the shared drives on either a Windows XP computer, or MacBookPro notebook. Both computers are on the same wireless network, and both computers have DVD/CD sharing enabled.
In the RemoteDisk shortcut on the MBA, I can see both computers and their shared drives, and I can even see the title of the disks that are in the drives, however, I cannot see any of the data on the disks. It tells me 0MB at the bottom of the window.
The MBA has all updates installed, and I even tried to manually install the RemoteDisk/Sharing update from Apple.
I found this post, and tried the commands in Terminal, but that did not help: http://jasonevangelho.com/2008/11/02/how-to-really-enable-remote-disc-dvd-drive- sharing-non-air-macbook/
Any idea's?

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that the wireless router is a Time Capsule.

Adobe Acrobat 9 installed but cannot read any PDF file from a Browser window

I have a new(-ish) PC running Vista and had Adobe Acrobat v9 installed. However I cannot open PDF files when trying to view from a Browser on a web site. IE8, Firefox and Chrome all produce the same error that claims I need to install Adobe 8 or 9. Have searched "Manage add-ons" and found Adobe enabled. Have hunted around but cannot seem to find a way to fix this. Any ideas? This seems so fundamental that it is difficult to believe that (a) it happened in the first place and (b) that there is not an obvious way to fix it!

Are you on a PC with a profile setup?
Assuming you are,
Rename your profile to something like PROFILE.OLD and then relog into the PC. If the PDF's open without issue, you can remove the Abode folders in the old profile under Documents and Settings\%profile%\Application Data and Local Settings\Application Data.
Rename the new profile to yet something else like PROFILE.NEWOLD. Then rename your PROFILE.OLD to its original name. Confirm that you have removed the above folders from this existing profile. Perform MIGWIZ I.E. Export files and settings to a folder. Now rename the profiles so that the .NEWOLD is the active profile and run migwiz there - bringing in your old settings. These steps are only needed if you wish to preserve all the data and settings from your old profile.
Hope this helps!

NEF (nikon RAW) files are becoming Desaturated while 'viewing in Bridge'/'opening in ACR'..HELP!

i use
1)Nikon D80
2)Adobe bridge to get the images from the camera
3)ACR to retouch the the photo a lil bit.
i set 'Saturation +2' and 'contrast +2' in My camera.
I get very nice vivid tone in my images IN MY CAMERA LCD
but recently my life is in jeopardy
i dont know why but my NEF files are not that nice when i open them up in bridge.
I wasn't sure where it went wrong.
So i shot RAW+JPEG so that i get the JPEG from the camera.
and My JPEGs are perfectly OK.
lets give you guys a look what i am talking about::
this came from the camera as JPEG
and this came from the SAME camera as RAW (i saved it without any modification from ACR)
WHY? AnD WHAT IS THE SOLUTION??
EXTRA INFO YOU MAY NEED ::
my JPEG says sRGB
and my NEFs says Untagged
and in my camera setting i used sRGB...which is 'MODE3A' in my D80
And now i have some important pictures in my camera
Very important.
Is there any way to save them?(except working in ACR)

First off, the only camera settings that have any direct impact on the raw files is ISO and F stop/shutter speed. All other camera adjustments to the image are merely metadata adjustments used by the camera or camera software to process the image. Camera Raw doesn't use any of those settings at all. So, if you are shooting raw intended for processing in Camera Raw, you would do well to not use camera adjustments to the images.
As far as matching the basic default camera LCD, that's a function of knowing how to use the DNG Profiles for either Camera Raw 4.6 or 5.5. There are specific profiles intended to render certain camera makers "looks". If you wish, you can either modify your camera's "Default" in Camera Raw or use Presets to apply settings in Camera Raw or Bridge.
