I recently reinstalled cs2 and now i cannot open raw files. how can i get them to open?

i cannot open raw files anymore

You shouldn't need the dng converter for the nikon d80 as camera raw 3.7 should open them.
In photoshop cs2 if you go to Help>About Plug-In>Camera Raw, what is the version?
Also, you need to unzip the camera raw 3.7 update and then copy the Camera Raw.8bi to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats on a 64 bit windows 8 system
or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats on a 32 bit windows 8 system

They aren't there because you didn't transfer them.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

In future do not rely upon being able to download again. The policy could be discontinued without notice and then you'd be in a mess. Even now you still can't redownload everything. Transfer properly next time and make backups.

I lost all my events on iphone prior to 2015 and this is not nice as I often need to look back on past dates they are on my Macbook air but how can I get them back to my phone

They're not lost, they simply don't show because you settings ask it not to.
Go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar --> Calendar --> Sync --> All events

HT203088 Why are CR2 files not supported? How do I get them to open??

I don't know if this should go in Aperture or not. I have some photos that I took with a Canon 5D Mark III that are .CR2 and I CAN NOT get them to open in Camera Raw. I have updated all of my software with the exception of the adobe products. How do I get the .CR2 files to open???

Kbrian
According to Apple the Canon 5D Mark III is supported in Aperture 3 or later
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
I am not a Canon user - but perhaps this model also allows you to save a small RAW file - perhaps called sRAW?
This may not be supported by Apple
Be aware, that although the file has a CR2 file suffix, every RAW file is unique to the model that generates it and has to be individually supported by Apple via a system level update
Hope this helps

I am new to IPhoto 9.5 and I think I missed a step. I uploaded pictures but they do not appear as an event in my library. They are in Last imported only. How can I get them into event.

I am new to IPhoto 9.51 and I think I missed a step when I uploaded my vacation pictures. I uploaded pictures but did not import them into the library. They are in L\last imported only. How can I get them into events?

If the Photos are under 'Last Import' or 'Last N Months' then they are in the Library somewhere, just not where you are expecting them to be. We know this as both Last Import and 'Last N Months' are not places, just listings of elements in the the Library.
The two most common reasons that they can't be found is either an incorrect date on the camera or the Sorting (View Menu -> Sort Photos - or Sort Events, as appropriate) has changed.
Quick route to find them: Right-click on one of the images in Last Import and select 'Show Event'. This will bring you to the image in the Library.

All my photos are now in just one event - how do I get them back?

Hi all,
New to iLife '08, just getting used to the new iPhoto and iMovie. Was trying to backup photos to an external hard drive (and I now realise doing it a stupid way) when it all went a bit wrong - think something went wrong with the external hard drive rather than macbook - and had to force quite and so on.
Wasn't too worried as I do already have a back up of everything, its just all in different places (so was trying to make one backup of everything), but when i opened iPhoto again all the events were gone.
All my photos appear to be there, but they're just in one event folder, which is kind of annoying. can anyone tell me the easiest way to fix this? Tried using the Autosplit Events thing but that splits everything into days, which isn't the way it was divided. Is there any way of getting them back to the way they were without going through it all manually and renaming and moving things? If I browse the files using finder (and Show Package Contents) they're all divided into the different folders they were in originally and the way I'd like them to be split into events, so I don't really understand. Any hints?
Apologies for the extended post.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the existing file.
or try
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.

I set up an I tunes account on my laptop befor e i bought a iphone. Passwords are now different for each so how do i get them to sync

I set up an itunes account on my laptop before I bought my iphone. Now i am in a situation where i can access my itunes on my iphone and access them on my laptop but they are not in sync as the passwords are different. Can anyone help

If you are using the same Apple ID, the passwords cannot be different. Can you explain this a little better?

Clicking Fx in the Vista quick launch bar now always opens new window. How can I get it to open the current instance?

This may be a Vista issue since Opera now always opens with a new speed dial window instead of just recalling the browser. This problem is recent, perhaps a month old.
Fx is not the default so I don't know if it's also a link issue

Make yourself a copy of the Fx in the task list, then you can either create a new instance or activate the existing one.
Probably missing the point, but I have been away from Vista for quite some time.

Multimedia applications like Quicktime quit unexpectedly at launch, how can I get them to open?

Hello! I've been dealing with this problem for a few months and now it's finally crucial for me to find a solution. After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.7.5 quite some time ago, some of my applications such as iPhoto, iMovie, MPEG Streamclip, and (especially) Quicktime quit unexpectedly as soon as I attempt to open them. I've now downloaded Quicktime 7 since I'm needing to use that application and getting the same results. I've read multiple other posts on the topic but none have resolved or directly related to my issue. Thanks greatly for the help and insight.
Running OS X 10.7.5, 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Memory - again, can currently only guess and diagnose that the problem started after upgrading to Lion and, thus, fearful of upgrading any more.

You can try running the combo updater over your install but I suspect you'll need to reinstall OS X. However, if you meet the requirements for Mavericks, I suggest you upgrade to Mavericks to fix this issue.
I suggest you test this by creating a second partition on your drive if you have enough free space. Open Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to find how much free space you have available. Select Macintosh HD in the list. You'll see info at bottom of window.
Install Mavericks and/or Lion as a clean install. Boot into the new install and see if your applications open.
OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) 1.91 GB
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582
You can reinstall Lion from the Recovery Drive. Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
          ▪          iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
          ▪          MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
          ▪          MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
          ▪          MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
          ▪          MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
          ▪          Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
          ▪          Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
          ▪          Xserve (Early 2009)
There are number of Macs that are limited to Lion 10.7.5.
MacBook 2.1, 3.1 and 4.1
MacBook Air 1.1
MacBook Pro 2.1 & 2.2
MacMini 2.1
iMac 5.1, 5.2, & 6.1
MacPro 1.1 & 2.1

I have two podcast folders. I can't delete and redownload the old ones because they are not available any more. How can I get them into the new folder?

The problem of having 2 'Podcast' folders / menu items after adding a new podcast through clicking on a link in the browser has been addressed on the forums by instructing users to resubscribe to existing podcasts, which then appear in the new folder, and delete the old folder. This will not work for me as most of the podcasts I listen to are BBC, which vanish from the web 7 days after they were first broadcast (about which much swearing, but that's unalterable). Consequently I can't adopt this solution.
I have resubscribed to the podcasts using the link in a browser method, so that they all appear and (in theory) will download new episodes again. However, this leaves the old episodes missing. What must I do to get the episodes downloaded from the old podcasts recognised as belonging to the new subscriptions?

I found a very fast and easy solution: I selected all the podcasts in the first window, copied them using the command in the Menu>Edit (Command+C did not seem to work). I then pasted them into the new empty folder. All the podcasts already downloaded appeared. The only problem is that some podcasts did not remember which had been viewed or not, while did keep the information. I just had to re-subscribe to the ones I still wanted by clicking on button.
For some reason, the previous Podcasts folder was only recogized as a list by iTunes, this showed up when I deleted the previous folder (contextual menu). I also had to re-select which ones I wanted synced with my iPad and iPhone.
(I did make a backup of the Podcasts folder in the Finder, just in case, a bit like voodoo computing)

TS3048 I am usng a bluetooth keyboard with my Mac and some of the keys are not working. They are the numbers 1 through 9. I have gone through the troubleshooting for mouse and keyboard and everything looks good. How can I get them to work again?

Hi, I am using a Mac computer that my husband set up. I have worked on it recently with no problems. Today, I am having problems with the bluetooth keyboard not working properly. The numbers 1 through 9 do not work. I have gone through troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues and everything looks good. Except, when I check the keys on the keyboard viewer, these keys still do not work. The webpage guides me through and at this point I do not know what to do next, because the keyboard is still not working properly. I sure hope there are some experienced people in the community to help me. What should I do?

Hi:
I wish my suggestion had gotten you further.
I do suggest you try to connect the keyboard again. The request for a number is a step in it trying to pair. If it gets by the number, it sometimes takes a little while to get connected. If you are unable to get it connected and want a new one, I have been using Apple Bluetooth keyboards for years - and I like them. The one I have (the newest model) only uses two batteries and is very thin.
Speaking of batteries, if you are not already doing so, you might consider rechargeables. I have a drawer full of them and use a 15 minute charger. I go tired of buying batteries and rechargeables are environmentally friendly to boot. At the moment, I use 2450 mAh Energizers and a 15 minute Energizer charger (all purchased new on eBay at a very reasonable price).
I am far from an iPad "expert," although I have one. If my suggestion below does not help, post your question in a separate thread in the iPad forum.
I had a terrible time syncing my iCal on my Mac with my iPad iCal (confusing - hopefully it makes sense). I quit using iCloud as that added to the confusion. There is a facility to one-time sync items. When you connect your computer to your iPad, iTunes opens. The system begins a process (automatic backup and so on). After it finishes, you can click on "info." At the bottom of the screen, there is an advanced section. You can select any of the items and then force it to sync. The iCal information from your computer would be deposited on the iPad.
After all that, I do not use a Google calendar so the information may be worthless to you.
If you want to reset the iPad to factory settings, you can do that when it is connected to iTunes (one of the options). Me being me, I try never to erase anything.

My function keys are not working. How can I get them to work again?

None of my function keys are working on my macbook pro. I can't adjust the volume, brightness, or any other of the keys.
Please help!

Just to clarify, it only works when the phone is plugged in and charging. What happens when you try to activate it? Is there any error message?
