Mavericks cannot open/read RAW files

Just upgraded to new MacBook Air with Mavericks. Moved my photo library over, and cannot read any of my RAW photo files (neither Canon CR2 nor Nikon NEF).
System is up to date, including latest Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update (5.04). Based on several posts I found, I already tried to remove the Camera Raw Update and install older versions, restarting the machine. No change.
OS (Mavericks) does not open/read the files with either Preview or Quicklook - shows a black background. Applications don't open/read them either (tried both Aperture - which says "unsupported image format" despite rebuilding the library and trying all other things - and iPhoto - which also just shows a black background image), but since Preview doesn't even work, it's clearly an OS problem.
I'm very frustrated... Most grateful for any suggestions.

btw - i also seem to be missing the "Raw.plist" file. does anyone know where it is? it used to be under "/System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle/Contents/Resources/Raw.plist" but it's no longer there. I imagine this may be related.

You would need PSE11 since the 3200 requires ACR version 7.1
Only PSE11 can have 7.1, so to be able to use your raw files with PSE9 you should download the free Adobe DNGconverter which can batch convert a whole folder of raw files into the Adobe raw DNG format which your PSE8 can open.

Quicktime 10.3 on OS Maverick cannot open a .mov file. Any suggestions?

I have a .mov file that Quicktime 10.3 on Mac OS 10.9 Maverick cannot open. Tried a bunch of things, no luck. Hoping someone out there knows the right answer.
Thanks, Terri

Since almost any compression format can be stored in an MOV file container, it would be nice to know what message the system is giving you, what codecs were used to create the file, and whether or not the file can be opened in any other media player.

I cannot open my raw files in CS6

I bought CS6 to open my raw files from Nikon D 800 and cannot open them ...

Hi Yasinaros,
Have you installed the updates for photoshop cs6?
From within photoshop cs6 go to Help>Updates.
That should include the latest version of camera raw which is 7.3

I have Photoshop CS2 vsn 9.0 with the Camera Raw 3.7 update and the Digital Negative Converter. I cannot open any RAW files. Does the fact that I've opened them in Lightroom 5.0 before make a difference?

When I try to open the RAW file (CR2) from the Photoshop application or from the Bridge (even while holding down the shift key) I get a message saying it's not the right kind of file. When I try to convert using the converter, it won't recognize the files.

Which operating system are you using?
Which camera are the camera raw files from?
Did you convert the files to dng using lightroom or the standalone dng converter?
If using the standalone dng converter, which version?
In the dng converter did you try setting the Compatibility for Camera Raw 2.4 and later
(Preferences>Compatibility)
You should also be able to send the files from lightroom to cs2 without converting to dng, either by using Photo>Edit In>Photoshop or setting cs2 as an external editor in the lightroom preferences

Cannot open any RAW files on PS CS6? what could be causing this?

This is the message i keep getting...
"Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."

Is it specific to any particular raw file?
Could you specify the Camera Name and Model?
What is the version of PS (Help>System Info)?
What is the version of Camera Raw?
Check if you are able to open different raw files in PS CS6.

Satellite L850 cannot open ARW RAW files using WMP 12

Howdy all,
I have an Satellite L850 ivybridge with windows 7 proffessional 64 bit. I am having trouble opening Sony ARW raw files in Windows media player.
I have installed the Windows codec, which it says supports the Sony A55. I have the a65 which replaced the a55.
On my old other laptop the same Windows 7 proffesional software, media play open the raw files for viewings.
Any help welcome.

Hi Bob
Please dont understand me wrong but described issue has nothing to do with Toshiba directly. I hope someone here will be able to help but I think you should contact either Microsoft support or Sony to check what they will say about that.
I dont know which external devise from Sony do you use but usually Sony offers some additional software for own products.
Very interesting article about Sony ARW files you can find HERE

Cannot open CR2 RAW files in Photoshop

To support RAW files from my new Canon Powershot G11 I downloaded to Camera RAW plug-in 5_6 dmg from adobe. I manged to be able to view the CR2 RAW files in Bridge. However when trying to open a CR2 RAW file from Bridge into Photoshop I get the following error message:
"Uanable to use Camera Raw plug-in, it is not compatible with this version of Photoshop (CS3)."
How do I overcome this problem?

You have two options with Photoshop.
Upgrade to CS4 so you can use the latest Adobe Camera Raw plug-in, or use the DNG converter from the Downloads page above to make readable versions of your CR2 files.

PSE 9: Cannot open certain raw files in editor from Organizer. Can directly tho.

I can open my CR2 (Canon raw for 50D) files from the Elements 9 Editor.   But when I try to save, the "Save as Version Set" is grayed out even tho the photo is in the Organizer. Conversely, when I try to open a CR2 file from the Organizer, I cannot. If I drag it to the Editor window, I get message that the file is the wrong type of file - the message one would expect for an unsupported raw file format.
I've been using Elements 9 successfully since October. This is new behavior in the last week (since I returned from 3 week vacation with 3000 new photos).   I cannot pin this to any newly loaded software (don't have any) nor correlate it to any other event. Occasionally, the file will open in Camera Raw from the Organizer, but not usually, and then not again for awhile. I've repaired and compacted. I uninstalled and reinstalled to no effect. I applied the 9.0.3 update - again to no effect. I've rebooted a few times, again with no effect. I did have PSE7 installed (and have had so for 2 years), but uninstalled that, hoping (vainly) for an effect.
In the process of proofing this post, I did a bit more experimenting. I find that ALL my 20D Canon Raw files work as they should (open in Camera Raw, etc.). And, I find that all my 50D Canon Raw files taken before the trip work as they should. However, the files from ONE DAY ONLY on the trip exhibit this behavior. The only difference is the trip files all were off-loaded to a laptop, then transferred to my desktop (via ethernet, not wireless), the same as all other day's photos.   Subsequent loading directly from compact flash card to my desktop results in being able to edit the files from the Organizer just fine. I've checked permissions and all users have full permissions.
The laptop and desktop are both Windows 7 (completely current).
I don't really have any ideas. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think PSE6 will not be able to import/open files from Nikon D7000 as support has been added in recent ACR updates which are not available for PSE8 and below.

Cannot Open Camera RAW files: Do I need to reinstall PS?

Hello,
I reinstalled PS today after I got my computer back from the repair shop.
Now it will not open RAW files.
I get the following error message:
Any thoughts on what might be going on? I realize this is an Apple screen shot, but I think this might be platform independent. I'm posting my question there as well.
Thanks,
Matt Dubuque

Hello, thanks for being so very helpful!
I'm typing from another computer, so I can't immediately check which version of Camera RAW I am using. But I updated Photoshop in what I believe is the best way, recommended on all the readme files of Adobe.
I went to Help/Updates, clicked on it and was automatically routed to the latest and greatest updates.
And my camera is a Canon 5D, so my best judgment is that even if it were not the VERY latest it would still be sufficient; many of the RAW updates have substantially been the addition of other, newer cameras to the list of supported hardware and mine has been supported for at least a year, before CS5 arrive.
I know that that a great big part of the problem is within Photoshop. This is because my settings on the Image Processor are always for 1920 x 1080. And when I run the Image Processor with these settings and then check my Destination folder where I have chosen to batch my new and improved downsized images to are ALL incorrectly sized to 1620 x 1080.
So the problem is contained within the Photoshop module, or at least I have to solve that aspect before I go on to further troubleshooting.
I have an academic discount so I've decided, because this seems to be a profoundly difficult problem to resolve promptly in view of my film submittal deadline, to purchase another full version of Photoshop for Windows, use it on my Windows machine, resize everything there and then export those .psd files on a thumb drive over to my Mac Pro.
(I have all my key photos also on a Windows machine as a backup).
It had not occurred to me until this morning that this approach will probably work.
I've marked you as "answering" this question and I very much am thankful that you have helped me.

PS: The film is shot in 1920 x 1080 HD, so I need to make all the photos fit within that "frame" on the Premiere timeline.

Camera raw cannot open D750 raw file

I have CS6 and the 8.7.1 version of Camera Raw installed and ACR will not open a Nikon D750 RAW file. Can anyone suggest another RAW converter to use instead of the Adobe product which is not up to the task.

There is something wrong with your installation of the ACR plug-in, of Photoshop or your OS (about which we know zilch! )
Raw files from that camera open just fine in ACR 8.7.1 running under Photoshop CS6v13.0.6 and OS X 10.7.5
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Cannot open a raw file from my Nikon D800,,,i have downloaded every and i mean every version of raw

i am up to raw 8.3,,still getting an error message,,,frustrated,,,but still shooting in Tiff,,,would love to see a raw file open

Unreadable on my computer. I also use a D800, so I know my computer can read them.
Opening it up in a binary editor, I see the magic words "Nikon Transfer 1.1", which you've already been asked about twice.
You need to update this software, or use something else. Old versions of Nikon Transfer are known to corrupt recent Nikon cameras' files.
Read these:
https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/53027
https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/50878
for info on updating or disabling it.
You will need to download the raw files from the cards again, once you've fixed the problem.
Personally, I stick my cards in a card reader and use Adobe Photodownloader, which is part of Bridge (which comes with Photoshop).

Hi, I need some help. Since I have changed to windows 7 I cannot open raw files with my canon mk 5D. The files will not open in cs4. Can somebody advise me what to do. I have done updates on CS4 and still cannot open the raw files

Can anybody advise me what to do as I am having problems opening raw files on CS4 since I have changed to windows 7. I am using a canon mk 5D.

Actually, you're not. That's not an accurate description of any of the Canon 5D models.
There are EOS 5D, EOS 5D Mark II, and EOS 5D Mark III models. Which do you have, specifically? Details will matter for this.
If you have a 5D Mark III (three) it's too new and you will not be able to directly open files with Photoshop CS4. You'll either need a newer version of Photoshop or to use the free DNG converter.

Have Canon 7d MK2 and Photoshop Elements 12 and I cannot open my RAW FILES

I have a CANON 7D MK2 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 and I cant open my RAW files

The 7D Mark II requires ACR plug-in 8.7 which came out after PSE13 was the current version so you can upgrade or use the DNG Converter 8.7 or newer to create DNGs from the CR2s and those DNGs will work with the older ACR plug-in versions.
