New imac, lightroom and cs3 can't read NEF files? What to do

Adobe support is down so I am here for help from all of you. I don't have a clue what bridge is or whether I need to use both bridge and Lightroom. Anyway, I will be importing nef files from a D300 to an external drive onsite with a windows xp pro laptop and connecting the external drive at home to edit etc..
Any help, please?
Sheryl

What kind of filesystem is on the external hard disk? It might have to be FAT32 for the iMac to be able to import from it. NTFS support is not very good on Mac OS X. You might have to copy the files first manually to your internal harddisk and then have lightroom move them into the folder structure.

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome.

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
Thank you.

I'm going back to cs4 after using cs6 and I can't open nef files in camera raw.

I'm going back to cs4 after using cs6 and I can't open nef files in camera raw.

Each camera needs a specific camera raw version (ACR). And each ACR is tied to a specific version of PS. See this list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

Lightroom 5.5 can't open nef files in photoshop cc 2014

I have a subscription to both Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC 2014 through the Cloud.
Today I attempted to open a .nef file from Lightroom in Photoshop by the usual method of right-clicking on the file in Lightroom and selecting Edit In> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014.
After doing this Photoshop opens but then nothing happens, the file doesn't open as it used to in Photoshop CC previous to the upgrade to Photoshop CC 2014.
I've re-booted my Windows 7 computer and tried again and still none of my .nef files will open in Photoshop.
Can you offer a solution to my problem?
Regards,
Richard Allen

Richard4911, Many users have reported the same issue and we are working on a fix.
In the mean while, i would suggest you to follow the suggestions mentioned under the below article and check if that helps.
Edit In doesn't work in Lightroom 5.5 from Photoshop CC 2014
Let me know in case you still get the same issue.

Can't read NEF files in PS CS4 w/ Nikon D600

Have new Nikon D600 and CS 4; read Adobe Camera Raw 7.2 is the one to download. Did that but still can't read my NEF files. Is there another version i should be using? Thanks!

Specific versions of ACR only work with certain versions of Photoshop.
The ACR 7.2 will only work with CS6.
You should remove ACR 7.2 for your CS4 because it will never work. Also having more than one version of ACR can screw things up.
Do you still the ACR of CS4? I believe that 5.7 is the newest that works with CS4.
You can download this from Adobe but read carefully all the instructions.
Older verions of ACR are never updated to deal with newer cameras.
To be able to open your Nikon D600 NEFs you have to use a slight workaround.
Download Adobe DNG Converter 7.3 (note DNG not ACR)
With this installed you can convert your new NEFs for your D600 into the Digital Negative Format (DNG) which then can be opened in older versions of ACR like yours.
Its a 2 step process, but it is the only way when dealing with newer cameras and older version of Photoshop.
Note that in the DNG converter you convert the folder that contains the NEFs rather than attempting to convert a single NEF.

Preview can't read pdf file - what gives?

Hello,
I have just upgraded to the latest version of Mountain Lion. In the past, I used Adobe Reader to open pdf files, but my understanding is that Preview should be able to handle this task. For most pdf files, this is indeed the case. However, I have this one file that is a form (which has fileds that can be completed by typing into them and then can be printed) which apparently cannot be handled by Preview. I get the error mesage "
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer.....
What can I do about this? Am I missing some plugin or something?
I'm running this on an iMac with a 2.5HHz core i5 and 12GB of memory. OS 10.8.5
Any ideas?

Arthur,
Actually, it's a bit complicated. Adobe Reader on my work PC can open it fine (no, the fileds have not been populated - it's an empty form). However, AR 10 or 11 for Mac crash om my iMac under Mountain Lion, so I actually don't know if AR can open it on the Mac. I have another iMac that runs OS 10.6.8 and Adobe reader v8.3 and that reader cannot open the form (looks like it's not current enough). What I haven't tried yet is loading AR 11 on my Snow Leopard iMAc because I worry about messig up an otherwise functioning situation...
I actually also tried iSkysoft PDF Editor, but it roo failed to open the file.

Hi,
As well as with CS5 with Camera Raw 6.7 as with CS6 with Camera 7.1 from Adobe Labs, photoshop cannot read the NEF files made by Nikon D800.
I reinstalled completely all programs and installed them again but without success.

Who can help. Please contact me under [email protected]

I can't see NEF files in Adobe Bridge

My Bridge doesn't show my nef files (taken by both d40x and d700). The thumbnails in Adobe Bridge S3 show the icon Nef but they don't show the image. I can't see the images in raw. If I click on the icons 'camera raw' opens and I can develop the nef files. I'd like to see the previews instead. I've downloaded the latest camera raw (4.6) and manually installed it but it doesn't work. The camera raw instructions say to install it in:
Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
but I have this directory instead:
Adobe\AdobeBridgeCS3\plug-ins
Who can help me?!
Thank you!

Yes, it must be in a location above and nowhere else. Only one version is allowed in this directory.

I have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. can someone shed some light please ?

i have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version OS X 10.8.4
and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. when i go back into iphoto i'm getting the following message :
Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” to “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” and relaunch iPhoto?
I don't know what to do - please help !!!!
can someone shed some light please ?

So it appears you have only one library on the hard drive. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to that library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router.
1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
3. Can I create a network and how?
4. What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical. Any help / advice will be much appreciated.

The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router. I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

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.
