Nikon D3300 NEF files not importing into iPhoto with Yosemite. Videos import, photos come in black

I'm having issues importing NEF (Raw) photos since I upgraded to Yosemite. I also updated iPhoto to the most current version. The videos will import, but the photos are coming in black. I can see them in the Nikon photo viewer on the Mac with no issues.

There are a series of posts on the forum right now detailing issues with Raw support. By no means all folks have them - I don't for instance - but many seem to.
Try the fix in this thread
RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
which basically trashes the Raw support and reinstalls it on your Mac.
As always, back up first,

  • I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter.  If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
    How large a date change are you putting in?  iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time.  If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
    If that is not the case:
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
    Let me know the results.

  • Scanned Grayscale files not loading into iPhoto

    I have just purchased a new iMac, having not been a Mac User before. I have been importing photos from an external (Windows formatted) hard drive with apparent success. However, on attempting to import some scanned jpegs (Epson Perfection V700 Photo scanner) in 8 bit grayscale, I got the "unrecognised format message". No attempt at saving on the desktop and importing into iPhoto from there worked. I then loaded them into Photoshop Elements 4 on the Mac, and saved again as a standard jpeg, but with no luck. However, by chance I tried saving with the "Embed colour profile: Epson Gray - Gamma 1.8" option unchecked in PE4's "Save as" menu. This time the resulting jpeg file did load into iPhoto. Have you any ideas why the original image did not load and what is the significance of why the "non-embedded" image did. Is there a quick way to convert these images, if necessary, using this method - I have a lot of scanned images like this. Another feature which might confirm what is wrong here is that the in Photoshop Elements, the label at the top of the displayed image shows the jpeg name, then size as a %, and then (Gray/8*). The files which load correctly into iPhoto do not show this "*" in Photoshop.

    Download and run *+Embed sRGB Profile 2+* on the grayscale photos by dropping the image files onto the Automator workflow application. You can get it from Toad's Cellar.
    This will let you avoid having to rescan those files as RGB color.

  • V1.3 and Nikon D100 NEF files - Not so good!

    I still use a Nikon D100 for underwater work. I recently updated from Lightroom 1.1 to 1.3 and discovered some very strange results when working with NEF files generated by my D100. There is a dark magenta cast overlaid on every file. My D200 NEF files on the other hand look fine. I went back to Lightroom v1.2 and the problem is gone. I called support and they had the same problem on their end. I realize the Nikon D100 is quickly going the way of the Dodo bird but you would think Adobe would have at least tested this still common raw file format before releasing the updated build.
    In any event, just a word of caution. If you still work with D100 NEF files I'd suggest not upgrading to 1.3.

    Scott - you are experiencing the same confusion that I was. Here is what I did:
    1. Google "download dng 4.2" - it should take you to Adobe's site where you can download the converter;
    2. Create a folder in Lightroom under the folder where your compressed D100 NEFs - the magenta ones - are located; I titled mine "DNG Conversions";
    3. In the DNG converter choose the source folder with the magentaized NEFS and the destination folder as the one you set up in step 2 above, and then "Convert";
    4. When the conversion is complete, go into Lightroom, right-click the new folder and synchronize it. All of the new DNG files should appear in the "import" window. Once the new DNGs are imported (i.e., the new folder is synched), you should be able to work with them in Lightroom normally, magenta free.
    I'm a novice user of Lightroom and had never done anything with the DNG converter...as such was really confused - didn't realize it meant you had to take the conversion process outside of Lightroom and then re-import the new images. Hope this helps. Best -

  • Nikon D4 NEF files not read by Lightroom3

    LR3 wont read NEF files from my new D4  LR3 is updated

    That's right. Check the release notes and you'll find that Lr 3 doesn't support the D4.
    You'll need Lr 4(.1 RC) for that, or convert the NEFs to DNG first.

  • Deleted videos or photos do not appear in iPhoto trash, Deleted videos or photos do not appear in iPhoto trash

    Hello,
    I'm trying to free up space on my MacBook Air by deleting videos & photos, but when I attempt to do so, the supposed deleted items do not appear in the iPhoto trash.  Even if I drag to the trashcan in the list.  What am I doing wrong?  I delete manually the items, and they do disappear from view, but...where do they go/?
    THanks!

  • New Nikon d600 NEF files not supported by Elements9

    I have a question, my old Nikon d3000 and photoshop elements9 had worked great together.  Now I upgraded my camera to the Nikon d600 and the RAW files are not supported by it... Any suggestions how to resolve this?

    The D600 only gets full support in version 7.3 which is out of beta testing and now available as a release candidate. You may want to wait for the final version of camera raw 7.3 which will be available shortly. Alternatively download the release candidate now but make a not to update when the final version is released.
    Adobe Labs Downloads click here DNG Converter 7.3 RC
    You can convert a whole folder of NEF images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • When I try to import a folder of jpeg files into iPhoto, only some are imported. I get the message "The following files could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)" I am running iPhoto '09 ver. 8.1.2 on OSX 10.5.8. They are all RGB.

  • RAW files from my Nikon Df (NEF) will not display in Lightroom. Same format from Nikon D300s works. Camera firmware is current. Df RAW (NEF) files display in Nikon software products, not in Apple software (Aperture or iPhoto).

    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The above list show the current camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw (plugin for PS CC) and Lightroom 5.3.
    You will see that the Df Raw support was provided in the latest version of LR 5.3.   Support for the D300s was introduced in LR 2.5. (the NEF files are different.)
    Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw can only be updated after the camera manufacturer has produced the camera and made it publicly available. If you are using an earlier version of Lightroom then that is your problem.
    Please post details of the version you are using at present.

  • My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into Iphoto.

    My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into IPhoto.  The computer will recognize the files once the download is complete, but fails to finalize.  My version of IPhoto is 7.1.5 and my computer is a Mid 2007 Mac Mini Model.  I have Light Room 5, but my wife and I are prefer IPhoto for basic download and sharing.  Is there a possibility  of getting the RAW files to download ?

    what version of the OS?
    You need Mt Lion and iPhoto '09 for your camera RAW support - OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats -
    If your computer will support tMavericks do the free upgrade to it and purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x in the App store

  • File name not importing into iPhoto

    I keep my photos on an external disk and import them from that disk into iPhoto. When I import, sometimes the file name is imported into the caption field and sometimes it does not.
    Any ideas why? I have search for others posts but can't find any. I did check the permissions of the files representing both results and the permissions are the same.

    What is displayed in the title field under the thumbnails?
    Have you tried selecting the offending photos, going to the Photos->Batch Change menu and selecting Title to File Name option?

  • Nikon D7000 .NEF files are not opening

    I am a new, lucky owner of the Nikon D7000 but, sadly, am unable to open my RAW (.NEF) files in iPhoto -- I am told that the files are an "Unreadable" format.
    Now, while I may use the Nikon software provided, I would much rather use iPhoto for my editing.
    Is there anything I might be able to do -- drivers, codecs (?) -- to get this opening?

    I'm in the same boat here. What I've done so far is to use Adobe DNG Converter (free) to convert the NEF to DNG. Then drag the folder with the DNG files into iPhoto.
    With another batch of files I converted to DNG, then did the sorting and editing in Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw. Then converted the whole bunch to jpg and imported them into iPhoto. I also imported only the highest rated DNG images. (Note that any Camera Raw processing will not be used by iPhoto, but it remains in the DNG file)

  • Problems importing Nikon D4s NEF files to LR5, Bridge, Photoshop CC / CC2014?

    Is anyone having a problem importing Nikon D4s NEF files into Lightroom 5, Bridge or PhotoshopCC / CC2014 or Photoshop5?
    I am running the latest updates: LR5.5, RAW 8.4, Photoshop CC latest update which, as far as I am aware, are all supposed to support the D4s NEFs but none will read the files; LR5.5 just shows "Preview unavailable for this file", Bridge just shows a blank and Photoshop shows "Photoshop cannot open this file".
    I have tried 14 bit, 12bit uncompressed; but only jpegs show up??
    All running on an iMAC 2.93Ghz Core i7 mid 2010; 16GB Ram and also on a Mid 2011 Macbook pro 2.2Ghz core i7 with 16GB Ram. 
    Is this camera supported fully yet?
    Is anyone else having similar problems?
    Any ideas?

    You probably used Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer. This causes corruption of the file so taht Adobe Software cannot read it.

  • Took movie w/iPhone, imported into iPhoto, now iMovie not "seeing" the .mov

    Hi,
    I took a movie with my iPhone 3GS. During the sync process with my Mac, iPhoto imported the file as a .mov. In iPhoto, when I click on the .mov file, QuickTime opens and plays the movie just fine. In iMovie, however, when I click the little camera icon (to open up iPhoto and search for files), I cannot see the .mov file, even though I know it is there in iPhoto.
    I have read a number of posts about this issue, and feel fairly lost at the moment. I'd appreciate any point in the right direction.
    Thanks

    That would be simple....
    I am having a similar problem trying to find images I have imported into iPhoto not showing up in iMovie. I have tried the fixes they suggest in the iMovie help file: "iLife: Cannot See iPhoto Files in Other iLife Applications" and they do not help.
    However, the images do not show up in iMovie even though the events and photos show up in iPhoto and other events and images... from earlier show up in iMovie. At least until March 22 08. I don't use iPhoto or iMovie very much as I don't have a Digital Camera or Cell Phone. I do have a project now that they would be perfect for and now...
    The help file info didn't help... there is another more current thread as well about the photo issue rather than the iPhone movie... but I think it is the same issue to do with iMovie seeing imports made by iPhoto.

  • File names changed when imported into iphoto

    I scanned thousands of photos and slides. I named them numerically with year and order it was taken (example for 102nd photo taken in 1984 is 84.102.jpg) I used Photoshop's file info to add a description on maybe 20% of the photos. Unfortunately, when I imported into iphoto, iphoto uses this information for the photo's file name. Is there a way to import photos into iphoto where it uses only the original files name and not embedded file info?

    The ones that (on the originals) I entered descriptive things into Photoshop's XMP file info's document title line -- well that is what is shown as the name of the file rather than its real numerical name. Example: on a photo saved as 92
    iPhoto uses the Exif and IPTC metadata for the photo information. When you typed "Big Snowstorm" in there you put it in the Title field. iPhoto is showing you the Title of the photo. It only shows you the Filename if there is no entry in the Title field. Had you put it in the Caption field you would not have this problem.
    Try remove the title, see if that works.
    Another commend: This format of filename
    92.133.jpg
    Is potentially very dangerous. Computers use the period to distinguish the filename from the suffix that tells your machine what the type of file it is. Currently, you're telling your machine that this is file 92, of the type 133 and also the type jpeg. Characters such as periods, slashes, dashes should eb avoided in filenames. Sooner or later your file naming convention is going to cause you problems.
