Please help!? can't read RAW files on Macbook

I just recieved my new Macbook Pro in the mail today and downloaded my Lightroom 3 to it, but my NEF files won't show up! Even though iPhoto and Finder seem to read the file just fine.....How can I fix this? I'm new to Mac but not to Apple products. My PC read RAW files in my L3 with no problem, please help!

So, when JimHess asks "What version of Lightroom 3 is actually running on your computer?", your answer of "the older version" doesn't really inform us of the information we need. When we ask for a version, we want the exact version NUMBER, and not a verbal description like "older version".
Anyway, the D7000 was supported beginning with Lightroom 3.3. If your version is not Lightroom 3.3 or greater, then it cannot read D7000 raw files.
You should download Lightroom 3.6 and use that. I'm sure you can use Google to find the proper links to the proper download.

  • Aperature can't read RAW files from my new Nikon D800. Help?

    My Aperature is version 3.2.4 and I have done all the software updates.  I shoot in both JPEG and RAW, but aperature can only read the JPEG's.  Can anyone help?

    The Nikon D800 raw support was included in "digital camera raw update 3.11", and that is the only one that I cannot find online any longer.
    The raw support for Nikon D800 has now been moved directly into the latest MacOS X Releases - for MacOS X 10.7 it is built into MacOS X 10.7.4 or later, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
    and for Mt. Lion it is included in all releases, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371
    But according to this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825, if you are still using Snow Leopard, you will need the raw support from "digital camera raw update 3.11". What is the latest raw support you installed?

  • Lightroom 2 Can't Read RAW Files from Canon 6D

    I bought a new Canon 6D in December.  I am currently editing in Lightroom 2.  However, Lightroom 2 does not seem to be capable of reading my RAW files.  I guess I need to upgrade to the latest version of Lightroom?  If so, will the new version incorporate my existing images from Lightroom 2?

    For the record, the Canon 6D was first supported in Lightroom 4.3 (and later versions but not earlier ones).

  • Can't read Raw files from EOS 700D in CS4

    How do I update CS4 and Bridge with ACR 5.0 to accept .CR2 files from EOS 700D? Have tried downloading and installing ACR 5.7 but bridge still opens using 5.0. Any assistance greatly aappreciated, thanks.

    As i already mentioned support for EOS D700 starts in ACR 7.4 so ACR 5.7 won't open Raw files from this camera.
    However, you can use DNG converter to convert Raw files into DNG and import in CS4 aaplication.
    The Digital Negative (DNG) format is Adobe’s proposed standard format for camera raw files. DNG files are useful for archiving camera raw images because they contain the raw camera sensor data and data specifying how the image should look. Camera raw image settings can be stored in DNG files instead of in sidecar XMP files or the camera raw database.
    You can download the latest DNG convert from following place:

  • Aperture can't read RAW files since update???

    So I went to import the pictures from the holidays into Aperture yesterday and it wouldn't read the raw files. Aperture just keeps saying it's generating thumbnails. I shut it down, got on a plane and tried again today, same problem and even the photos previously imported and were fine aren't showing up properly. It just says "unsupported image format."
    My last import was the last week of Novemeber.
    Is anyone else having this problem since the 2.1.4 update??

    I encountered a similar problem - see thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2274871&tstart=0
    Did you also do the latest MAc Os update - with the additional DIGITAL RAW compatibility update 2.7?
    I did the APerture update a while ago and everything was working fine - it is only after I did the latest OS update that I encountered the same issue.

  • Iphoto can't read RAW files from Olympus E-PL1

    I just got an Olympus E-PL1. Iphoto doesn't recognize the RAW file with the extenstion .ORF
    The E-PL1 has the same sensor as the P1 and P2. I would assume that both those generate the same RAW data.

    Until the camera is supported try converting the files to .dmg file with the Adobe DNG Converter 6.1 which iPhoto supports. Many pros use the dmg format.

  • How do I getr my CS5 to read RAW files from my new Panosonic DMC FZ200?

    My Adobe CS5 can't read RAW files I'm attempting to PP in it from two new cameras. What  good is having software that is suppose to be able to read RAW files when it won't for new equipment. Surely it should be able to adapt to newer  cameras as they come along.Today I tried downloading a sample RAW file from a online review of the new Canon 5D Mark iii. It starts to open in CS5 but then says it can't read RAW files from this camera either. How do I change that in my Photoshop CS5. I havn't tried it in Elements 10 yet. will it do the same thing and will I need to change the settings there too? I can post process RAW files from my Canon XSi  and XTi  without any problem.

    What  good is having software that is suppose to be able to read RAW files when it won't for new equipment. Surely it should be able to adapt to newer  cameras as they come along.
    What Noel said.
    FYI, Adobe is constantly supporting new cameras with new versions of Camera Raw.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    But you must upgrade your version of Photoshop in order to run the latest versions of Camera Raw to read Raw files from the latest released camera models. Or join the Cloud and you can keep your software current at all times as part of your membership.

    Or run the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files to DNG then edit the DNGs in Photoshop

    DNG conversion requires extra steps - but it's free.

  • I can not open raw files in elements 12 any help please?

    I can not open raw files from my Nikon D610 in elements 12. (I have already downloaded raw converter 8.3 but to no avail) any help please would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Can you confirm which Camera Raw PSE 12 is actually using by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw.
    If you do Help -> Updates it may install the latest camera raw of 8.4 - not on XP or Vista systems.
    Do you use any Nikon software to download the images? The older versions have been known to corrupt the files.
    See the following for more info.

  • My light room 5 can't read my files on my iMac and MacBook Pro any help pls

    my light room 5 can't read my file on my MacBook Pro and my iMac I already update my camera raw on ps cs6  any help with this issue pls

    If the error message is “files cannot be read” then this is usually a problem with the destination at the right of the destination import panel.
    If the issue is something different than not being able to import then please give a more detailed description.

  • Need help reading raw files!

    Help please!  Cannot read raw files of my Nikon D5000.  Have downloaded Camera Raw 5.3 and followed instruvctions.  5.3 supports the D90 which is supposedly essential the same.  Any suggestions?

    Read the posts in the following link:-
    http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?p=463255#post463255
    Try the DNG converter or the DPP software supplied with your camera until ACR 5.4 is finalized, as suggested in the posts.
    I have read that there is a way to get the Release Candidate 5.4 installed in PSE 6/7 but you need some skills in understanding computer files.

  • How can I get Elements 13 to read RAW files from Nikon D750?

    I've upgrade my camera from the Nikon D3200 to the Nikon D750. With the D3200, I used Elements 11 to edit both JPEG and RAW files, but found out today Elements 11 isn't compatible with the D750 to read RAW files. I downloaded the trial version of Elements 13--which is compatible per the Adobe help desk, but the RAW files shot with the D750 still aren't being seen; however, I do see RAW files that I took with the D3200.
    Same memory card is being used and I formatted the card when I changed it from one camera to the other.
    What am I doing wrong? I almost always shoot RAW, so I need to be able to the files.
    I'm wondering if Elements 13 really is compatible with the D750.
    I want to add I'm using a MAC.
    Thank you!
    Shannon

    I was able to figure out the issue--the D750 files must be converted to DNG files first, then I can upload them to Elements and edit them as I would a RAW file.
    If anyone else is having this issue, I found the video helpful: Learning | LR/PS - The Advantages of the DNG File Format | Photoshop.com.
    You can find the free DNG converter here: Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    This works for both MAC and Windows.
