Cant import RAF files into lightroom 5.2

I've just purchased lightroom 5 and I'm having problems importing my files. I first detected the problem with my CR2 files.
After investigating I found this person with the exact same issue: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5474641 I managed to fix the problem by changing the prefrence file as indicated here: Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
Now I'm trying to import my RAF files (Fuji x100) and I'm getting the exact same issue.
What should I do now????

First of all, thanks for the help.
But I'm now more confused then before. I'll explain and I hope I wont confuse you in the process.
It seems that, without having changed the permissions, 5 pictures from my Fuji were able to import into the Sub-folder I want from the copys I made on my desktop. The rest didnt. I tried it again and it didnt work. I tried it yet another time except into a distinct sub folder of the same main folder. It worked. NOTE: both subfolders are on a external drive.
Then I tried to import new pictures directly from my SD card into both sub folder mentioned before. "Could not be read" message was given. So, I imported the images to my desktop with no problem but I can't move the files using LR into the subfolders on the external drive.
I'm very inclined to agree with you both that its a permission issue with the folders on the external drive. The back story is that I've had past two separte problems with my computers hard drive and RAM. Part of the fix for those issues was to creat new user accounts. The old ones have not been deleted. (dont know how)
I'm telling you this because, in the sharing and permission window, the sub folder I want all these pictures to go dosent give the same User name as the main folder or other folders within it.
Main Folder has the correct user account (Privilage set to read and write) Below is staff (which is I've changed to read and write) and below that Everyone (which I've left as read only)
Sub folder I wish pictures to go has and Old User name. Below is not staff but Fetching and privilage is set to read and write.
I hope I havent confused you too much. I cant wrap my head around the fact that 5 pics managed to enter the sub folder without it being set to the correct user.
Must be said that this sub folder is in my personal (not profesional) work, which I havent touched for a while now.
any questions??? cause I still have a tonn

Support of RAF-files - Fujifilm FinePic S5000 camera

Hello
I had got some images from one that have a Fujifilm FinePic S5000 camera. If I imports the RAF-files (Fujifilm RAW-format) into Capture but it seems that Capture doesn't support RAF-files. Will Capture support RAF-files in the future?
I have tried to convert the RAF-files to DNG-fles by using Adobe DNG converter but the result is the same. I believed that Adobe DNG converter could convert all known RAW-format to DNG also RAF-files from a Fujifilm FinePic S5000 camera.

Per an interview with a spokeswoman from Fuji, they have indeed provided Apple (and Adobe as well) all the needed technical information in order to support the RAW files (i.e. algorithmic information created by Fuji for the non-standar filter array, etc etc). Please don't spread any more misinformation about it, it's already been flamed to death on all the online camera forums. You can still choose to 'blame' whomever you wish about why it's still not supported by Apple, but you can no longer reasonably assert that Fuji hasn't done their part by providing them what they need. Nondisclosure agreements were signed as well.
Having said that, I find it ridiculous at this point that it's not supported, for several reasons, some being the seemingly similar Fuji users who also use Aperture as well as the opportunity here for Apple to take some market from Adobe (who as of yet are not producing very great output files for Fuji X-trans). Apple was/has been at a disadvantage to Adobe for a long while now, and being an outsider, I presumed Apple would want to take advantage of this (and any similar) opportunity to grab some share from Adobe. I was well wrong, and it seems that other lesser-known-used companies are now doing just that.
Well good on them. I for one will be looking at any/all (new)comers and will certainly be going with the best of those. Sorry Apple, you lost another one. There was a real competition, for me, btwn Aperture and LR4 up till this point. You'd have to pull a rabbit out of your hat to keep my Aperture biz.

LR4 doesn't import .RAF files from Fuji x100.

On my MAC LR4 doesn't import .RAF files. It says "because they couldn't be read".
On my PC everything is OK.
What can I do about it?

I have no problem importing .RAF files into LR4.
Wonder why you have this problem??

When will Lightroom enable importing RAF files from Fuji X100T?

Just got my new X100T but Lightroom 5.6 does not yet enable importing RAF files. When will this be available?

You might want to read this, Anne:
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
Especially this part:
"Finally, if your camera came out within the past 90 days, be patient, as you may need to wait for the new camera support. Adobe goes through a rigorous process of adding support for and testing of each new camera raw format. Adobe generally releases updates of the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in and Lightroom to provide new camera support about once a quarter, or about every 90 days. Feel free to drop us request or vote for specific camera support on our Feedback Site."
There's no secret about this situation - it's a Frequently Asked Question...

How do I transfer my catalog, files and collections into Lightroom 4 onto another computer?

How do I transfer my catalog, files and collections into Lightroom 4 onto another computer?

You can copy your image file from you PC to your Mac over your home network or via DVD/CD. You can not install you PC CS5.1 version on you Mac. Its not compatible with MAC OS. You would need a MAC version of CS5.1 and Mac version serial number to activate it. Adobe no longer markets CS5 so you most likely will not be able to pay for a platform switch media install.

I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)

Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini

iPad 2, iPad

A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

PSE11: How to import Raw files from Canon Powershot SX60 HS Bridge Camera? [was: Dear Sir,]

I have just purchased a Canon Powershot SX60 HS Bridge Camera. I have Photoshop Elements 11 and I cannot import Raw files. How do I download the latest version of Camera Raw into Elements 11?
T.W. Gasby

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
With Elements 11 you cannot.
The SX60 HS was first supported in Camera Raw 8.7 which is only compatible with Elements 13 and later.
Options:
Pay to upgrade to Elements 13
Free option: download the Adobe DNG converter, convert all SX60 HS Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Elements 11

Opening raw file (.raf) from Fujifilm x100s with Elements 10

Hi -
I am unable to open .raf files created by my new Fujifilm x100s camera. I have PSE 10. According to Help --> Updates, I have the most current versions of everything installed. My ACR Version is 6.7.0.339.
I see references tro Adobe Camera Raw version 7 but it looks like that version is not compatible with PSE10, only PSE11.
Sticking with PSE 10, what is the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw that I can use and that will support opening .raf files from the Fuji x100s? I'm afraid to attempt installation of ACR 7 without assurancesd that it will work with PSE10.
Thank you for your help,
Frank

Hi Frank, you need camera Raw 7.4 which is only available for PSE11. Consider upgrading or wait for PSE12 to be launched soon. If you regularly shoot raw try Lightroom with PSE10 as your external editor.
Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in PSE10 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

How do I prevent imported Illustrator files from have the jaggies in Flash.

My imported illustrator files have straight angled pipe lines and these have the jaggies when exported from Flash to Premiere or QT.
I have imported them as both vector and bitmap with no success. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I'm on a Mac running 10.8.2 and using Flash CS5.5.

Here is a list of caveats from Adobe concerning Flash & Illustrator vector art.

How do you import .WAV files into Presonus studio one pro on a Mac Mini

I am new to this type of forum and I don't know how to ask a good question but here goes. I have a Mac Mini and I am getting very frustrated with my presonus DAW software. I was able to import .WAV files int o my PC Real easy but I don't seem to be able to find out how to do it with my Mac Mini. I clicked on import files and the files would magically transfer themselves into my DAW on my PC, but with the mac it doesn't want to do it the same way. I E-mailed the software company but they told me to do lit just like I have been importing with my PC but it doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I might also mention that this is my first Mac and I am not too familiar with the operating system yet, and besides all that I am fairly new to computer recording. Please help I am going nuts.
Thanks Abel

Convert the DVD's VOB files into a format that works natively in FCE. For DVD footage (which is SD), use MPEG Streamclip to do the converting. Here's a tutorial on using MPEG Streamclip: http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?p=739
MPEG Streamclip is freeware, but you may need to purchase the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component from Apple if you don't have it already.

How do I get Import and File Format Documentation

I requested access to the CS2 SDK spcifically requesting that I wanted to create an Import or File Format plug-in but the documentation and the sample code is missing for those kinds plug-in types. Where can I find the documentation that I need to develop these plug-ins? Thanks. Rich

You'll have to request that separately (or again). Contact your ASN rep and tell him/her that you need access to Format and Import info. You should be sent (pending approval) the "Advanced SDK" via e-mail.

How to work with Fuji RAF files?

I'm using an Fuji S2 and shoot RAF files. These are not supported in Aperture. Is there a quick workaround?

WHAT!!!! work around? you missed the point of have RAW file management. What else does Aperture do making it worth the price of professional software if it is a work around?
I'm sorely disgusted that FUJI PROS2/PROS3 support was back burnered. Clearly this camera has a large installed base, just look at pbase.com
Fuji RAF files still work great in Adobe Bridge without a work around.

How do i *only* import audio files?

I want to get every single audio file on my computer into the iTunes library, but I want to skip over all movie files. Can I do this without searching and adding everything manually?

I use a 12 year old computer so the layout may have changed with recent versions. Use Finder > File > Find Specify the folder or location (e.g., the whole computer) you wish to search, and Kind is Music. You can use the + button to add more criteria such as opened in the last week.
