How do I get Lightroom 4 to recognize my .nef raw pics from D5300 Nikon?

Adobe lists my D5300 Nikon as compatible, and others I know can upload .nef from different Nikons. (Don't know another with D5300 to ask)
Don't know what I am doing wrong.
I am using Windows 8.1, and no updates are listed for Windows or for my version of Lightroom 4.
Any help on how to get Lightroom 4 to view and upload .nef files?
I did have to install a codex in windows to view .nef.  But that didn't help my LR4.

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
The above list shows that support for the Nikon D5300 was introduced in Lightroom version 5.3.
You have two options a. Upgrade to LR version 5 (latest version is 5.5) or b. Download and utilize the Adobe DNG Converter version 8.3 or later, to convert the .nef files from the D5300 to dng format. Lightroom version 4 will be able to read and process the dng files.
If you choose the b. option its best you use the option to retain your original raw files. For one your Nikon software will not read the dng files.

    How do I get my IPad to recognize my e-mial contacts from my computer.  My IPad is sending and receiving e-mails, but it will not pull up my e-mail contacts from my computer.

    Did you sync the contacts from the computer by selecting them to sync in the Info Tab of iTunes while the iPad is connected to your computer and with iTunes running?

    Thank you for your response. I fixed the problem by simply importing the 
    images using windows rather than the Nikon Transfer.

  • How do I get Elements 12 to recognize Canon G16 raw files?

    Elements comes pre-loaded with ACR 8.0.  The G16 is not recogniized until ACR 8.2.  PSE is not automatically updating to the latest version.  How do I download 8.2 and install it in Elements 12?  I have tried the obvious methods with no success.  Need some detailed advise on how to do this.

    You will need to do a manual install since adobe doesn't let vista or xp update automatically anymore. The general procedure is described here (it's for PSE 11, but everything is in the same place in PSE 12):

  • How do I get Lightroom to find photos on a USB Drive when the Drive letter changes?

    THis is probably a simple question but I keep getting stuck.  I ha
    ve my catalog and some images on my laptop hard drive, but the majority are on
    an external USB drive.  Sometoimes the drive gets assigned
    E:, F;, or G:, and when it cahnges, the catalog says the phots are missing.  How do I get
    Lightroom to find the photos again?
    Tom Barnwell

    The quick fix is to click on the folder containing the missing files and choose "update Folder Location" then find the folder on the USB drive. The longer term and fix you should apply is to set Windows to always give the USB the same drive letter. You can do this through the XP Disk Management application in Computer Management (Control Panel applet). The following screenshot is for XP, but Vista and Win 7 will something similar which can be accessed via Administrative Tools (see second screenshot).

    Many thanks lllaass,
    The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

  • My ipods are no longer recognized after I installed my Iphone I have 2 ipods that I have music on and still want to use them so how do I get the computer to recognize the ipods again?

    I recently got an Iphone and after I installed it on my computer my 2 ipods are no longer able to sync to the computer how do I get the computer to recognize the 2 different ipods so I can still use them?

    Since you already had two iPod before getting the iPhone, what exactly did you need to "install" to use the iPhone?  Doesn't it use to the same iTunes installation you already used with the iPods?
    So, I guess my question is, what changed on the computer when you started using the iPhone?
    What happens now when you connect the iPod?  Is the iPod still seen in Windows device manager?

    Hi,
    Because the iPad requires more power than from a normal USB port can supply therefore you can not charge an iPad using ONE USB port on a laptop/PC.  Please try this free utility, many HP users say it works:

Then the USB cable from the Lexicon out, to the Mac. How do I get Logic Express to recognize the Kurzweil so I can record the Kurzweil's on-board sounds rather than using it as a Midi controller?
    Very new to Logic and all of this-any help is appreciated in layman's terms.

  • How do I get Application Manager to recognize that Photoshop is not installed?

    Application Manager says that Photoshop CS6 is installed. It isn't. I've rebooted the Mac and it still says it's installed.  What installed was a partial or corrupt file which I have trashed. How do I get Application Manager to recognize that Photoshop is not installed so I can download and install it again?  Thanks.

    Do you have an uninstaller available to you in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder?  If so then please run the uninstaller.
    If you don't then please utilize the uninstallers available in this folder to remove all currently installed Adobe Creative Software.  You will then want to follow this by running the CS Cleaner tool.  You can find details on the use of the CS Cleaner tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
