Help! Troubles with updating Lightroom 3.2 to 3.6 in order to import RAW files.

I am trying to import RAW files into Lightroom 3 from my Nikon D7000. I read that I need to update my Lightroom, so I downloaded the 3.6 version. I restarted my computer and reopened Lightroom and it is still showing the 3.2 version. How do I get Lightroom to update after the new version has been downloaded? Once this problem is fixed, then will I be able to import my .NEF files from my camera into Lightroom?

After downloading you have to install it. Did you?
Cheers.

Problems importing raw files into Lightroom 3.4

I've just dowloaded lightroom 3.4 and now I'm having problems importing raw files into lightroom. I havent had a problem before. Can anyone help me? My camera is a Nikon D7000.

Perhaps a few more details are required. Take a look at the FAQ "How to get help quickly"

Trouble with updating apps

Having trouble with updating some of my apps. You Tube esp.

Apps are tied to the account that downloaded the apps, not to the device that they are on, so any apps that your son downloaded can only be updated via his account and vice versa.
You can sign in and out of accounts via Settings > Store and tapping the account on the right-hand side. If you no longer use the apps that your son downloaded then you could delete them (or if they are free apps you could delete and then download them under you account) - you could always reset to factory settings (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Setting) and reload just your apps from scratch (apps can be re-downloaded for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), which is a 'cleaner' way of doing it

Just downloaded latest updates to Camera Raw for use with my new Sony RX100 M3 but still can't get the RAW files to open. Any suggestions?

Can anyone help me with process of moving only my pics and music (purchased and imported cds) from a old G5 to a new iMac. Thanks Dan

Can anyone help me with process of moving only my pics and music (purchased and imported cds) from a old G5 to a new iMac. Thanks Dan

The easiest way is to connect the G5 and your new iMac together via Firewire. Then you can use what is called "Target Disk Mode" which basically makes the G5 look like an external hard drive to your iMac. The potential gotcha is if your new iMac does not have a Firewire port. In that case, you need to get the Apple Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter in order to connect the two machines (as far as I know, all G5's had one or more Firewire ports). I have done this many times, it's easy and works perfectly.
Alternatively, you could connect both Macs to the same network and log into the G5 from your iMac. This involves going into System Preferences > Sharing on the G5 and turning on File Sharing and then logging in from your iMac to the G5 as if it were a server. (Logging in through the Finder or via Go > Connect to Server). This also works fine but it's a little more involved than using Target Disk Mode. I do this all the time and it too works fine.
Either way, once the two Macs are connected, you will use the Finder on your iMac to copy files/folders from your G5 the same as you would from any external hard drive. Regarding iTunes, you could just copy your entire iTunes library over to your iMac being careful to put it in the same relative folder location: /users/yourusername/Music/iTunes This method will preserve your playlists and album art. Alternatively you could go into iTunes and do Add to Library but I'm not completely sure doing it that way will bring over your album art and it certainly won't bring over your playlists.
I see no reason to use a separate external hard drive. It will just double the time it takes to transfer your files because you would first have to copy everything to the hard drive, then in a second step copy everything from the hard drive to your iMac.
Note: In all cases there is the possibility that you may need to change file & folder permissions on the things you copy over so you can access (read & write) to these folders & files once copied to your new iMac. This is not a difficult process.

Lightroom refuses to import RAW files.

Hello,
I have Lightroom version 1.4.1 (just downloaded the update), and cannot upload RAW files from my Canon 20D or 5D. What happens is that Lightroom will either:
(1) Upload just 12-15 files, then freeze up. The light on my camera stops glowing red and it says "busy" on the camera LCD display. After waiting 30 minutes I get the spinning rainbow ball on the screen. When I try a "Force Quit" Lightroom does not respond at all.
-or-
(2) Nothing at all happens! No images are uploaded, Lightroom freezes up and the camera does nothing.
My setup is an Intel PowerMac with 8 gigs of memory, 3 1TB drives, and an Nvidia GFX 8800 graphics card. I am using OSX 10.5.4.
I tried deleting the plist file at least 3-4 times, tried different cards in either of the cameras, and I always get the same results.
Help!

David
Finally I found someone with the same problem I've been experiencing in the last 3 months.
This problem actually started after on LR 1.4.1 but
after I upgraded to LR 2.0, it now freezes half way on import just like you described, it actually take the OS hostage and not even force quit works, I have to force the system to shut down by pressing the power button.
Then I tried to see if I could import with Bridge and I ran into the same problem and had to take the same action.
I have switched cards, card readers and USB ports (used the front and back ports) but nothing seem to work.
But when I use Image Capture to import raw files, it works fine, no problems there.
I also upgraded the PS3/Bridge Camera Raw to the most recent version to be compatible with the LR 2.0 version.
I also have the 20D and 5D but I use card readers instead of plugging the camera directly into the computer.
It seems the problem is the way Leopard reads XMP data, that's something I found on a forum somewhere and it looks like Apple has not addressed this issue yet.
I'm running Leopard on a 2.8 Gig / 8 core and 4GIGs of ram.
For now, my solution to this problem is to import raw files from the card reader using Image Capture and down load them into my LR library.
That's my 2 cents

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

I can't import raw files into lightroom

I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

I don't use nikon software. I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

Why is it suddenly impossible to import raw files from my canon 1ds mark III? I work with a mac 5. Nothing has been changed in the settings...

I've been working for 2 years with Lightroom and importing pictures from my canon 1ds mark III
Suddenly it doesn't work. Can somebody explain this or help me to change something
so I can import my photos???

When Im trying to import photos Lightroom says it not all import results are possible.
As DJ suggests, that's probably not the exact wording. Can we have that, please?
Still need your OS and Lightroom version too.

Installed digital camera raw update 3.8, but Aperture doesn't recognize Oly E-P3 raw files

I was excited to see that the digital camera raw compatibility update 3.8 purported to provide support for Olympus E-P3 raw files. I installed it from Software Update, and Aperture 3.1.3 (OSX 10.6.8) still showed the raw files as "unsupported". I restarted my Mac, got the same result. I downloaded and installed the standalone update, and again got the same result. Has anyone else had success with the update?

I found a solution. My E–P3 raw files still showed up as “unsupported” after reinstalling the update from the standalone updater. I discovered that selecting one of the “unsupported” raw files and having Aperture reprocess it (even though it had never been processed at all) made the file recognizable by Aperture and allowed me to make adjustments to it. I then reprocessed all of my E–P3 raw files and the only problem I have noted is that the vertical files were not auto rotated.
In reprocessing the raw files, I selected "only photos without adjustments" and "reprocess existing images". I hope this helps anyone who experienced this problem.

Lightroom 4 does not import RAW files from D610

I've just purchased Nikon D610, and my Lightroom 4 is not importing RAW files anymore. What is the problem?

The current version of LR 5 is 5.7 so I’d guess LR 6 will be out at some point later this year, in the next few months. If money’s no object then upgrade to LR 5, now and to LR 6 in a few months. If you’ll be very upset to learn you’ve paid $80 to upgrade and then need to pay another upgrade fee for LR 6 then maybe wait and do the DNG thing for a few months, and then upgrade from LR4 to LR6.
The other concern is whether your OS is new enough. I’d suggest you download the latest LR 5.7.1 update and run that in trial mode for a few weeks—you have 30 days, to make sure your computer can handle it, before spending the money and finding out you need a new computer, first.
The other thing to consider is the $10/month Photography Plan subscription which gets you the most up-to-date versions of Lightroom and Photoshop as long as you keep paying. Since you have your old LR4 serial number, you can decide to cancel the subscription after a year and use the LR4 serial number to buy the LR 6 upgrade, then. This assumes that LR 6 will be available as a serial-number-licensed product, still.
The latest LR 5.7.1 update is here:

Can't import raw files; not seen by Lightroom

I have a Canon Eos 20d, Lightroom 2.3, and Windows XP. I just shot raw files for the first time and tried to import them into Lightroom. All of my jpeg photos on the memory card could be imported, but none of the raw files appeared to be even "seen" by the program. Any suggestions?

>Is there no way to do it from the camera directly?
I don't know about this camera but many Canons allow you to change the communication mode on the USB bus. For your computer to recognize the camera without special proprietary software, you need to set it to PC connection instead of PTP. This is usually in the setup section. In this mode, also called mass storage mode by other manufacturers, any software and any computer can communicate with your camera and it will just be seen as a (very slow) card reader. If you keep it in PTP mode, the computer can only see the jpegs. Very annoying indeed. It is very possible that your camera doesn't have the mass storage mode and then you might have to use Canon's software to load the RAW images from your camera or get a $10 card reader. A card reader should always work.

Iphoto 8 after update won't import RAW files

I'm running iphoto 8 version 7.1.3 and just updated the software from Apple's auto update (Jun 30th is when the update installed). Now I can't import RAW files from my canon 30D, from a memory card or from existing files. Every time I try iphoto freezes and I have to reboot the computer. Add to that, iphoto has now "lost" most of the pictures - ie it doesn't show them in the events or photos areas. I have managed to find the photos in the library, but when I try to import them back into iphoto, if there are any RAW files in the folders, I get the same problem as before - iphoto freezing, and having to restart the computer.
has anyone else experienced this problem? Or have any suggestions for solutions?
thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you shooting RAW + jpeg or just RAW. If it the former another user found out that shooting the combination of formats was not supported by iPhoto but shooting just the RAW was.
For the missing file issue try the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
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. 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?

Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?
Error message that it does not support cr. file

Which version of Lightroom?
As Hal points out, if it's pre v 4.1, you can't expect an old version of the software to know what to do with a camera that didn't even exist when the software was released.
Given how many times a day this same issue comes up, maybe it's time Adobe changed the error message to something like "your camera is too old to be supported by this version of Lightroom. Please upgrade" or similar...
