Photoshop CC will not open EOS 40D RAW files

I recently updated to Photoshop CC 2014 but cannot open Canon EOS 40D .CR2 RAW files.
I can open and edit them in Lightroom but if I attempt to 'Edit in...' Photoshop from Lightroom, I get a message suggesting that I update to Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 using the update tool in the Photoshop help menu.
However, the Updates... menu item is greyed out, unavailable.
How can I resolve this issue?

Thank you again, JJMack.
As soon as you start CC 2014 press and hold Ctrl+Alt+shift or CMD+Optiom+Shift Photoshop should prompt it you want your preferences deleted.
I have tried to reset preferences, a couple of times, both by deleting the file 'Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Prefs.psp' and by using the keyboard shortcut you suggest (also to both older versions of Photoshop on my drive) but the 'Update...' option under Help remains greyed out (on all versions).
All PS version install by default on the Boot disk and happy coexist. Problem arise when you install newer version of PS then use Adobe uninstllers to un-install previous versions. Often this process messes up file associations of the newer install. I just delete the install tree.
I don't recall ever having used an uninstaller. I have twice cloned my entire boot disk however, complete with all applications including Photoshop, most recently about a year or so ago when switching to a SSD. I don't know if that might have messed things up along the way. I have no idea what deleting the install tree entails?
The superscription versions of Photoshop CS6 13.1, CC 14.2.1 and CC 15.0 as well as the perpetual version of CS6 13.0  should have just been updated with ACR 8.6 you should not need  to convert to DNG for there version of PS. If your Cannon is very new you may need to convert to DNG for CS5.
Re: Photoshop CC will not open EOS 40D RAW files 
My Canon EOS 70D is listed as supported by ACR 8.6 and in fact, having now hunted down the ACR 8.6 download link (why is it so hidden? why isn't incorporated into the Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 installer?) and installed it, Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 does now open my .CR2 files directly in ACR 8.6 in Photoshop.
So problem solved, I guess.
All except the greyed out 'Updates...', which still lingers on.
Thanks again for all your help.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not open Nikon (NEF) raw files.

    I recently tried CS6 Suite.  Trial was over and I went back to Photoshop CS4.  However, it would not open Nikon (NEF) raw files. I uninstalled and re-installed the PS CS4.  This did not fix the problem.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks,

But you can download DNG converter 8.6 or newer and create digital negative (DNG) copies that will be compatible with Photoshop CS5.

  • Photoshop CS5 will not open

    My photoshop CS5 will not open either from the desktop or from the program list. I can open Bridge but when I then try to view a photo in photoshop I get a message that says Bridge has stopped working and will have to close down.

    Please read below item and provide relevant information.

    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Photoshop CS6 will not open any graphics files

    Photoshop cs6 will not open graphic files, i have reset the settings. I get to see all the files in preview but when I try to open a file nothing happens, no error messages, no file opens, nothing.
    When I use bridge I try to open the file with open in photoshop cs6 but again nothing happens. I found that if I reboot my PC photoshop will work correctly until I shut photoshop down but if I reopen it later before rebooting my pc now graphics files will open.

  • Photoshop CS will not open after upgrade to OSX 10.4.3

    Photoshop CS will not open in my iBook after an upgrade from 10.3.9 to 10.4.4. Even when I reinstall, from a dmg file, it doesn't help. The error message says: “the app photoshop quit unexpectedly”
    My iBook, which boots in 10.3.9 still, has no problems with this same program.
    What are the conflicts with OSX 10.4.4?
    iBook G4, iMacDV   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    What do you mean by 'Install from a DMG file'
    Are you using the original installer disks? I have CS and it works fine in Tiger OSX 10.4.4.
    It could be a number of things, but installing from the original disks is a good start.

    Please help. Can anyone explain why my photoshop program will not open..  I use Photoshop Bridge then double click on an image and Photoshop opens.
    After I downloaded Lightroom 3 which I purchased through an on-line re-seller, I selected some images and imported them into Lightroom.
    I do not understand why Photoshop CS4 does not open.
    can anyone advise me.

    What kind of files anyway?

  • Some images saved in Photoshop CS will not open in Photoshop 6

    We have confirmed that some files saved from Photoshop CS will not open in Photoshop 6. This is due to a bug in Photoshop 6, not in CS.
    These files open correctly in Photoshop 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 7 and CS on both platforms.
    The solution is to upgrade the copies of Photoshop 6 to Photoshop CS.

    Hi sig,
    I actually did try reinstally Photoshop - even reinstalled my operating system. I looked for the file "Adobe Unit Types" and see that it is indeed there in the ScriptingAdditions folder. But I still cannot open the tif files.
    I should also mention all my tif files have the .tif extension on them (in case anyone suggests that's the issue.)
    And, this problem is the same with Illustrator CS .ai files as well.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.
