Lightroom has trouble reading RAW files on my network drive ("The file appears to be unsupported or

Hey guys, I currently run LR5 on Mac OSX.  I've had my RAWs on an external HDD and have smart previews built for those files.  Recently, I upgraded to a new router, the ASUS RT-N65U, and plugged in my WD My Passport Ultra HDD (FAT32 filesystem) into to.  Now I've put my RAWs on the network drive, and verified via MD5 checksums that the files are being read correctly (albeit rather slowly) from the network drive.
However, whenever I try to view one of the photos on the network drive, Lightroom complains, "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged".  I've verified via MD5 that the files are not damaged.  Does anyone know how I can get LR to be happy with the files on my network drive?
(Bonus question: how do I make my network drive faster?)
Thanks!

Got RAWs from a D7000 and D600, LR v5.2 [922700].
Oddly things are working now... I ejectected the network drive in Finder and reconnected to my router.  Lightroom no longer has problems viewing the photos, even after I closed my laptop and reopenned it.  I think the problem might occur when my laptop goes to sleep for a long time and I reconnect.  Will repoert back when I try that.
I'm using an external HDD attached to my router.  The reason I don't plug the external HDD to my laptop directly is I don't want to keep doing it every time I want to access my photos, and my laptop only has limited disk capacity since it's an SSD.

  • Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files.

    Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files?

    Read this table http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The Olympus Stylus 1 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.
    It is not compatible with CS5 or older and never will be.
    If you do not want to upgrade to CS6 or CC then you can dwonload the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Stylus 1 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5.

  • Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files from Sony A77

    Hi there - just got a new Sony A77 but Lightroom v2 won't read RAW files when I try to import them.  I know I need to upgrade my version of LR (I will be going to v4) but... is there ANYTHING else I need to do or to upgrade in order to ensure Lightroom 4 will read those Sony RAW files?  Thanks!

    I don't keep track of what cameras are supported in what versions.  But, IF your camera is supported by the latest DNG converter, you could use it to create digital negative copies of your images.  Those DNG files can then be opened in the version that you have now.  You won't get anywhere near the development quality that you will get with Lightroom 4, but at least you can work on your images with what you have now.
    And if Lightroom 4 supports your camera, that is the only thing you can do to "ensure" that you can use your files.  Of course, if you modify them now with the version that you have, you can leave them with those adjustments when you upgrade to Lightroom 4, but if you want to use the new adjustments and the improved develop tools you'll probably have to basically start over on any images that you want to convert to the new PV 2012.

  • Just bought Canon 40d - Use CS2 - Cannot read Raw files in Bridge

    Heading says it all really. Just purchased new Canon 40D Body and have been using CS2 on Mac OS 10.4 for over two years. Cannot read RAW files in Photoshop Bridge which is what I have used consistently with 20D files up to now. Quick search on Google brought up fact that Adobe had not up upgraded Bridge to read new 40D files but that was 2 years ago. Am now looking for plug-in! Can anyone help or am I now forced to upgrade my CS2 or move away to Aperture or Lightroom? Any help gratefully received. Rob

    The 40d is not supported by any version of Camera Raw that can run in CS2.  You need at least CS3 and ACR 4.2 or greater.
    Dowload the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 and convert the raw files from your 40d to raw DNGs first, then you can open the DNG files in ACR 3.7 hosted by CS2.

  • I can not import in Lightroom 4.4 any RAW-file from my D600. Lightroom gives no picture.

    I can not import in Lightroom 4.4 any RAW-file from my D600.  Lightroom gives no picture.

    How long have you waited?
    When I connect my D600 via USB and import in Lr it takes a long time before the image thumbnails are displayed in the Import Dialog.
    I know that using a card reader would probably be much faster (you gotta try that!).
    In the meantime I just do something else for 5-7 min (read e-mail, get a cup of coffee) and thereafter the thumbnails are displayed and import is straightforward.
    And I do have a powerful and fast system.
    So, somehow Lr and the D600 are slow to begin "talking" to each other.

  • Please help!? can't read RAW files on Macbook

    I just recieved my new Macbook Pro in the mail today and downloaded my Lightroom 3 to it, but my NEF files won't show up! Even though iPhoto and Finder seem to read the file just fine.....How can I fix this? I'm new to Mac but not to Apple products. My PC read RAW files in my L3 with no problem, please help!

    So, when JimHess asks "What version of Lightroom 3 is actually running on your computer?", your answer of "the older version" doesn't really inform us of the information we need. When we ask for a version, we want the exact version NUMBER, and not a verbal description like "older version".
    Anyway, the D7000 was supported beginning with Lightroom 3.3. If your version is not Lightroom 3.3 or greater, then it cannot read D7000 raw files.
    You should download Lightroom 3.6 and use that. I'm sure you can use Google to find the proper links to the proper download.

  • How do I getr my CS5 to read RAW files from my new Panosonic DMC FZ200?

    My Adobe CS5 can't read RAW files I'm attempting to PP in it from two new cameras. What  good is having software that is suppose to be able to read RAW files when it won't for new equipment. Surely it should be able to adapt to newer  cameras as they come along.Today I tried downloading a sample RAW file from a online review of the new Canon 5D Mark iii. It starts to open in CS5 but then says it can't read RAW files from this camera either. How do I change that in my Photoshop CS5. I havn't tried it in Elements 10 yet. will it do the same thing and will I need to change the settings there too? I can post process RAW files from my Canon XSi  and XTi  without any problem.

    What  good is having software that is suppose to be able to read RAW files when it won't for new equipment. Surely it should be able to adapt to newer  cameras as they come along.
    What Noel said.
    FYI, Adobe is constantly supporting new cameras with new versions of Camera Raw.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    But you must upgrade your version of Photoshop in order to run the latest versions of Camera Raw to read Raw files from the latest released camera models. Or join the Cloud and you can keep your software current at all times as part of your membership.

    Or run the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files to DNG then edit the DNGs in Photoshop

    DNG conversion requires extra steps - but it's free.

  • Reading RAW files from Nikon D600 in CS5.

    I have installed the latest plug in updates for camera raw into cs5 but still cannot read raw files. Any advice? Many thanks in advance.

    Support for the D600 was added in Camera Raw 7.3 which will only work in Photoshop CS6. You choise is to update to CS6 or doenload the free DNG Converter 7.3 (scroll down to the Downloads) and convert the D600 NEF files to DNG DNG files.

  • Need help reading raw files!

    Help please!  Cannot read raw files of my Nikon D5000.  Have downloaded Camera Raw 5.3 and followed instruvctions.  5.3 supports the D90 which is supposedly essential the same.  Any suggestions?

    Read the posts in the following link:-

    Try the DNG converter or the DPP software supplied with your camera until ACR 5.4 is finalized, as suggested in the posts.
    I have read that there is a way to get the Release Candidate 5.4 installed in PSE 6/7 but you need some skills in understanding computer files.

  • How can I get Elements 13 to read RAW files from Nikon D750?

    I've upgrade my camera from the Nikon D3200 to the Nikon D750. With the D3200, I used Elements 11 to edit both JPEG and RAW files, but found out today Elements 11 isn't compatible with the D750 to read RAW files. I downloaded the trial version of Elements 13--which is compatible per the Adobe help desk, but the RAW files shot with the D750 still aren't being seen; however, I do see RAW files that I took with the D3200.
    Same memory card is being used and I formatted the card when I changed it from one camera to the other.
    What am I doing wrong? I almost always shoot RAW, so I need to be able to the files.
    I'm wondering if Elements 13 really is compatible with the D750.
    I want to add I'm using a MAC.
    Thank you!
    Shannon

    I was able to figure out the issue--the D750 files must be converted to DNG files first, then I can upload them to Elements and edit them as I would a RAW file.
    If anyone else is having this issue, I found the video helpful: Learning | LR/PS - The Advantages of the DNG File Format | Photoshop.com.
    You can find the free DNG converter here: Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    This works for both MAC and Windows.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 won't read raw files from Canon EOS M

    Photoshop cs5.1 won't read raw files from canon eosM, what to do?

    The EOS M requires at least Camera Raw 7.2 but Raw 7.2 is only compatible with CS6 or higher (CS5 is only compatible up to Raw 6.7)
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    To open and edit Raw files, either upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud and get the CC version.
    Alternatively convert the Raw files from the EOS M to DNGs using the free DNG converter then edit the DNGs in CS5.1
