New install of CS3 won't open NEF (Nikon RAW) images

New install of CS3 on my new PC laptop won't open NEF (Nikon RAW) images. Same PC product opens them on my older desktop, and CS5 for MAC opens them on my iMAC.
What am I missing? CS3 has been registered and activated. Thank you

Hi, Again, John,
I followed the instructions to the letter, and nothing worked. I still got the wrong kind of file message. After I tried to use the plug-in, I could no longre open pages in IE or Firefox. I have to wipe my new computer and reinstall everything. This time, I made CS3 the first thing I installed, and followed the instruction again as follows:
"Windows
®
1. Exit Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
4. Navigate to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats.
5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to anot
her location (for example, a new folder on your
desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, fr
om the download into the same folder as Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge."
Still unable to open RAW images in PS. I did notice that the two files I copied to the desktop folder were the same, although one was slightly larger than the other. I chose to keep both.
Why is CS3 working on my desktop from the same disk with no plu-in, but not on my new laptop? Is it Windows 8.1 instead of XP? That doesn't make much sense. PLEASE help. This is insane.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

New install and FCP won't open

Hello,
I am new to FCP. I come from a PC based Editor. After installation FFCP opened once. I closed it and now it won't open. When I attach my AG DV2500 deck it wants to start then just quits. Without the deck attached it says it can't locate the "Apple Firewire NTSC (720x480). Try again or click continue to set external device to none" Then Pof it's gone. How do I set my external device to none?
I have downloaded updates. No help
HELP
Thanks

you might have corrupted your preferences ... how I don't know.
trashing them is always a good place to start when things go awry
also, backing up a good set, that you can revert to, is well worthwhile
there are a couple of utilities that make this quick and painless:
FCP Rescue
and FCP Attic
you can google for them or just search here

Can't open NEF (Nikon Raw) photos in CS2

Using CS2 on a Power Mac G5, running 10.5.8 with plenty of ram. Photos taken on a Nikon D700 in Raw format and transferred directly from camera to computer using Nikon Transfer. When I try to open a photo marked NEF in Photoshop's Bridge, I get a message that " Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file".
Next, I downloaded Camera Raw 3.7 from Adobe's website and when I click on the icon in my applications folder, I get that same message : "Could not complete your request..."
The only way I can view and work on my raw photos is to convert them to tiffs or jpegs in my Nikon View NX program; But I want to process them in the raw convertor.
Help!!
Bob S

You'll need to covert the NEF to DNG to open in Camera Raw. CS2 will never support the D700.

Cs3 won't open my nikon D5100 NEF files. help please

I'm using Mac and running 10.10.1. i could never update camera raw and i'm not sure what's going on.
all input greatly appreciated. thank you

The same comments I gave for the D750 apply to the D5100 because both cameras are newer than what the maximum ACR 4.x version you can update PS CS3 to.

Photoshop CS3 Does not open NEF files - ???

Hi all,
I just installed Fireworks cs3 (old version) on my mac, as I want to work with slideshows without having to bother with html and xml language.
To my horror I found out that Bridge CS3 and PS CS3 do not open a Nikon Raw file (.nef) All I get is a message saying: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.
Has any of you ever come across this? How can I solve the problem?

You can make sure your Photoshop and RAW converter are up to date. You don't say what camera you're using, so it will be hard to guess, but it's probably newer than CS3. In that case you have two Adobe options: upgrade to CS4, or use the free DNG converter to convert your NEF files to DNG, then process them in Camera RAW.

Installed PS CS5 on new computer. Can no longer open .NEF files. Plug in won't install

Very frustrated. Bought new computer. Installed PS CS5. It won't open my Nikon 7000 .NEF (RAW) files. Tried to download and install the plug in but keep getting error saying I need to redownload and reinstall Adobe Application Manager. I do that, and still the same issue.
Anyone have any ideas?

More info. Using Windows 7.
Also, when I go to Help/About Plug Ins/Camera RAW, I find that I am supposed to have version 6.0 of the plug in, but there seems to be no way to update that plug in.
So, I went to the website and searched FOR AGES until I found the download page for the updates. First I tried to update to 8.5. No go. So I searched until I found the first version that supported the D7000 .NEF files (6.3). Tried to download that. Got the error message telling me to download and reinstall the download manager. Did so. Tried to download and install 6.3 again. Same error.

Hello goreckim,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having some issues with iTunes on your Mac Pro. You may want to isolate the issue further by testing to see if it persists in a new user account:

Recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. What now?

Pages question: recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents intermittently
won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. On the other Mac (running Lion), saved a copy of a document with a new name and sent it back to first computer. At first it would open, but now it as well as multiple other Pages documents won't open. What now?

yes;
I got Pages to work now- there were two versions, one Universal, and one Intel- by moving the Universal to trash ( although I can't delete it) and moving Intel version to iWorks folder in Applications, it is now working. Doesn't explain why it didn't work though- the other MacBook pro 17 inch that could open all the Pages documents also has two copies of Pages as I see now....
I still however can't open Numbers documents on the MacBook pro 15 inch.... it is a Universal version of Numbers.

I Downloaded new version of ITunes - won't open now.

What a fiasco. Everything was working fine until I bit on the message to "update my IPod software". I finally succumbed to that then everything went to (*&(. After the IPOD update, my Itunes would not open my IPOD even though the device manager recognized it. So, I went to Apple support and downloaded the new Itunes. It won't open and my IPod is hosed - file folder with exclamation point. I even tried reloading the Itunes disk I got with the original purchase in 04/2005. Didn't work. I am on my third IPod since 04/2005 and it looks like I may need to send this one in also. But, I need to get Itunes up and running. I would restore my IPod if it was recognized. HELP.

top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.

New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer. If I select 2 raw files and click "Open" Camera RAW will only open 1 raw, then when I click "Done" it will close and open the second, sequentially. Previous Photoshop CC and RAW worked fine, it would open mulitple RAW at the same time. How do I fix this?

If it worked for you that way previously there isn't much to comment about. I just tried opening multiple images from Windows Explorer with Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 8.6, and the first image would open and when I clicked cancel then the second image would open. But if I wanted multiple images opened in Camera Raw to work on them simultaneously it was necessary for me to open them from Bridge. I just did it as an experiment because I normally use Lightroom. Anyway, IF it was a feature at one time to work as you described, it doesn't seem to be that way now.

After migrating all of my adobe software (Cs4, cs5, etc.) to my new imac, the software won't open due to many errors. Any help on this?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Adobe software is conflictive when you use Migration Assistant because their applications don't work properly after migration. If you keep the DVDs or the installers of your software, use them to reinstall all your Adobe applications and they should start working correctly

CS5 won't open NEF files from D600, despite updating camera raw plug in. How do I fix this?

The D600 was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and later - not CS5 unfortunately.

Some options:
FREE
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all D600 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS5

PAID
Upgrade to CS6
Buy Lightroom 5.4

You won't be able to buy Pages from the Mac App Store on 10.6.8. You need to reload it from the original source.
