Just bought a Sony A7.  .ARW files not being accepted in LR 5.2.

I just bought a Sony A7, but when I tried to import the files into LR (v. 5.2) it says that the preview is not available on import.  I was under the impression that with LR version 5.2 I would not need a .DNG converter, but now I'm not sure what I need to do to make it work.  Suggestions?  Thx!

Lightroom is not part of the Creative Cloud main software group because it wasn’t part of the Creative Suite series of products, before, but if you purchased the Photographer’s Bundle at $10/month, then LR is included in that, along with PS-CC, and you would get updates to LR, that way.
There are two different “flavors” of LR, though:
The standalone that is licensed by a serial number and that you can download new versions of via http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates and this version of LR will advise of a new version whenever you start it up, at least once a day, I think.  But you can also always do Help / Updates to check for a new version.
Then there is the Cloud-licensed version of LR that you license and update using the CC app on your computer.  Usually the CC App will notify you of new updates reasonably often.
If you were unaware of any updates, then something isn't right with your setup.

  • Import Sony RAW .arw files not automatic

    I decided to take the plunge yesterday I downloaded the trial LR2 (now 2.1) and purchased Kelby's Lightroom 2 book. All my catalog from PSE6 imported without a hitch. That's over 12000 photos with about half of them Minolta (.mrw) and Sony RAW (.arw) files. Then I decided to import the shots I had just taken from a weekend photoshoot. I plugged in my CF into the card reader and started LR. When I clicked on the IMPORT button for my CF location all I got was the message "NO PHOTOS WERE FOUND TO IMPORT". I can import the files using the manual CHOOSE FILE option but I want it to work just like PSE with auto import. From what I understand that should be the case. After a Google search I found importing Sony RAW images (.arw) was an issue in LR1, but shouldn't Aobe have fixed it by now?? Just as an aside, if I'm having this issue with .arw files, when I import the RAW images from my Minolta 7Hi I wonder if I'll have the same issue.
    Since its a trail version I'm not eligible for Adobe support, so there is no help coming from there.

    Yours sincerely! I just bought a Sony DCR-SD1000 camera only when installing the cd drivers not supported by the operating system Machintosh. I've contacted the seller said the store did not provide for the apple os. How can I move all the files on the camera the port out is to use a USB data cable to a laptop for my macbookpro can not read the contents of the file and the camera. I also want to use the lens on the camera as a substitute for the embedded camera on my macbookpro, what should I do to replace the embedded camera on macbookpro with sony camera so that the camera could be more variety and can I record when I turned macbookpro . Please help for this so that I can quickly capture the results from sony camera to my macbookpro. Thank you.

  • I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it.  What can I do?

    I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it. What can I do?

    Is it actually a PDF file or something else.
    You haven't given us enough information to do anything other than throw random guesses your way.
    Version of Reader? File type? Downloaded and saved to your desktop or are you clicking a link?
    Opening in browser or using File>Open in Reader?
    More info is better.

  • Hi have just bought a Sony Xperia J and am not able to tether my ipad as I did with my Nokia C3. Why? What do I have to do to solve the problem so I can tether to my Ipad?

    Hi have just bought a Sony Xperia J and am not able to tether my ipad as I did with my Nokia C3. Why?
    What do I have to do to solve the problem so I can tether to my Ipad?
    Is this phone another of the things that Apple does not support? How do I know before I buy a phone that it will be supported? 

    How are you attempting to connect them? 
    Looking at the Experia J features it does seem to support Wifi Hotspot, but there is no mention of a Bluetooth hotspot. Different phones offer different things.
    The iPad issues the message, because there doesn;t seem to be anything it can do with it. But this is not something apple is blocking its more a  limitation or a non present feature of the phone.
    From the Manual which I assume you've read through:
    To share your phone’s data connection as a portable Wi-Fi® hotspot
    1 From the Home screen, tap .
    2 Find and tap Settings > More… > Tethering & portable hotspot.
    3 Tap Configure Wi-Fi hotspot.
    4 Enter the Network SSID for the network. Tap the Security field to select a
    security type.
    5 If required, enter a password.
    6 Tap Save.
    7 Mark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox. The phone starts broadcasting its
    Wi-Fi® network name (SSID). You can now connect to this network with up to
    8 computers or other devices.
    8 Unmark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox when you want to stop sharing
    your data connection via Wi-Fi®
    When that is set up, you can use your iPad to look for the Wifi network the phone is providing and connect to it as you would any wifi network.

  • Sony A77 ARW files in LR 5.2 do not show...

    Hi there,
    some time ago I was "suddenly"troubled that my Sony A77 Arw files dit not show up in Lr 3 no more. I recently upgraded to 5.2 but same problem...
    On the same laptop they do show up in PSE 12 strangely enough.
    Maybe I overlook something but any help/suggestion is welcome as I am truly stuck. Thanks!

    Hi thanks for replying.
    I am using the most recent version of LR on a dell lattitute W7.
    I import the files and convert them directly into DNG.
    When in the library it shows meta details like in the screenshot below. But the actual immage is not shown. This counts for the ARW files but also Jpeg or Tiff files. As said before the image is shown in PSelements-12 and also in Sony sw itself(PMB) I am  afraid I overlook something simple but I cannot get my fingers behind it. Thanks for any help!

  • I just bought a Sony DSC-H1 camera... does it sync?

    I just bought a Sony DSC-H1 camera and was wondering if anyone has been able to sync their photos to this? I just to see if I can use it as a back up, etc. Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately some sad folks like to come to the forum not to help but simply to pick arguments for their own amusments.
    No digitial still camera by any major maker requires installing drivers from a CD or DVD. None.
    The same is true of many scanners and copiers too, in the hands of a knowledgeable computer user. People running older systems that they don't understand or know how to use will disagree, of course, if they choose to be argumentative. Personally, I ignore usch people.
    The common causes for your issue are
    1. A USB fault. That might be a damaged cable, an issue with the USB ports on your computer or your camera. Easiest way to check: swap the cables, try a different port, make sure your camera is on and charged
    2. Try use a USB Card Reader or the Card Reader port on your Mac, if it has one.
    3. Another possibility is that the camera card may need to be reformatted - you do this with the camera only.

    Has it been 24 hours?
    I take it this was a gift card.  iTunes Store:  Invalid, Inactive, or Illegible codes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292 - gift cards
    I don't know if this provides an alternative means: https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column
    If you are really desperate you could buy the app yourself, then request reimbursement.

    You will need to talk to Apple, they would be the only ones who can tell you. We are just a user to user forum here.

    No, iDVD and iWeb are no longer included with Macs shipping with Lion preinstalled.
    You will need to purchase iLife '11 on DVD if you need iDVD.
