RAW import won't work after OS upgrade

I used to import my digi-cam (Ricoh GX-100) RAW files into iPhoto without any problem, but since I updated to 10.4.11 iPhoto doesn't recognize these RAW .dng files anymore. What can be done about this? Strangely, this particular camera never has been on the supported camera list for iPhoto, but why did RAW import work before and why doesn't it now?
I should add perhaps that the cause for the malfunction could also derive from the usage of Onyx (which I downloaded from the apple-site), which I used for system optimization by clicking on the "prebinding" option - however, most likely this has nothing to do with above problem
thx

zoranT:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. A lot of users have experienced importing problems after upgrading to Leopard and not just with RAW files.
Since OnyX is not Leopard compatible, there's a beta version available that is, it might have a bearing but I wouldn't bet on it. Try the beta version to re-optimize and see if that helps.
See bdorf's post this this topic on how he fixed his importing issue: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6181481#6181481. He hasn't gotten back to me on how he re-installed Leopard but I'm guessing it was an Archive and Install.
Happy New Year
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Safari and iChat won't work after lion upgrade

    I just completed an upgrade to lion on my 2010 Mac mini and after reboot, safari won't open a web page..it just gets stuck with the blue loading bar about 1 inch from the left and iChat won't connect either.  I've repaired permissions and rebooted several times, checked for 3rd party add-ons and still they won't work.  Help! I need Internet again.  I'm posting this on my iPad 2 because I can't get safari to load a page or download another browser like chrome or firefox:(

    OK... i had a quick look around and it seems many peoples various issues were solved by just restarting their macs a few times... i downloaded the java update from the apple support site and then restarted twice and everything now working perfectly.

  • Incoming mailserver won`t work after Yosemite upgrade

    My incoming emailserver (pop.online.no) suddenly stopped working after upgrading to OS X Yosemite on my Macbook Pro 2013.
    I have checked all the settings, and all seems to be correct, apart from it won't download any e-malis anymore.
    (My outgoing emails from smtp.online.no seems to work fine though).
    What can I do to get this fixed? Everything seems to be correct in all fields. But my Mail won´t establish any contact with my incoming pop.online.no account.

    Hey there SirOlsen,
    It sounds like you are unable to receive mail, but you seem to be able to send it without issue. I would use the Connection Doctor to help you troubleshoot the issue here:

    You may even need to remove, and readd the account from your Internet Accounts pane of System Preferences:

  • Help with Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Editor - Won't work after Maverick upgrade

    I bought Adobe Elements 11 in March of 2013.  It was working fine until upgrading to Maverick.  It will not open now.  Adobe will not help without a serial number.  Apple does not provide serial numbers when you buy directly from the App Store.  After 3 hours of trying to unintall and reinstall, no luck.  Apple said to call Adobe back, Adobe says to call Apple.  Finally just asked Apple to refund me the $85.00.  They said said they ‘can’t’ since I’ve ‘had it for so long’ (7 months ?? ).  They said the problem was my fault because I didn’t check and make sure Adobe Elements was compatible with Maverick before installing Maverick.  I should mention that it states (on the App Store page) that Adobe Elements 11 is "compatible with OS X 10.7.5 or later”.   Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and if any kind of resolution was achieved?   Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Tony

  • IPhone config utility won't work after Mavericks upgrade

    After my upgrade to Maverics, any time I try to use the iPhone Config Utility to install apps on my devices, when I click install, it crashes iPhone config utility.  I've already tried re-installing iPhone Config Utility - Any recommendations?  This is killing my productivity!

    If you are using the Apple configurator there is an update Apple has reasleased for it for support for Mavericks. It seems to be working for me but I'm also using it with the iPad 4th gen.

  • DVD drive won't work after Mavericks upgrade

    I upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, and ever since, my CD/DVD drive will not work.  Discs spin, but then they are ejected.  Doesn't matter what type of disc I put in.
    The drive was working fine before I upgraded.  I have reset the SMC and the NVRAM/PRAM, but the drive still isn't working.
    Any suggestions for what else I can try?

    Others here wouldnt recommend it, but on a new OS install, since I have a giant pile of HD, ...i just grab another HD and create a new fresh Time Machine backup
    after its complete, I take the original HD with the OLD backup and format/erase it.
    Im a tad too lazy to wait, as you yourself mentioned,  1 hour for TM just to PREPARE to backup. Nope, no,...not gonna do it.
    I updated 4 Macs to Mavericks and id rather make a wholly NEW Time Machine backup on another HD and erase the original.
    Since I keep about 12+ redundant archives of my important data, I have no worry on earth of ever losing data.

  • Time Machine Won't Work after Maverick Upgrade

    Hi,
    I updated my operating system to Maverick the other day.
    Today I tried to restore a file from Time Machine, but when I "Enter Time Machine" none of the functions seems to work.
    I tried to press pretty much every date, and every button, but nothing works.
    Any suggestions on what to do short of restoring to the old ios?
    Thanks.

  • Playbook Browser won't work after software upgrade

    Having upgraded to the latest version today, the Browser on my device will not work.
    When you click on the browser it opens briefly and closes after about 5 seconds.
    This affects other applications that rely on the browser to connect to the internet of their source.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for your prompt response.  I am able to use the Dolphin Browser so it's not the end of the world, but the Blackberry browser has my favourites etc loaded, so would prefer to use it day to day.

  • Importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6 when it worked fine on ios5. Anyone have a solution?

    I have  been importing cr2 raw files to my iPad using ios 5 but importing cr2 raw files won't work on ios 6. Sees files in camera but when import stops it fails with an exclamation mark in red circle. Anyone have a solution?

    Don't know if you care anymore or it applies, but I was able to get things working but it took drastic measures.
    I had to do a full system reset and update by doing the following:
    - Make note of all your settings in your system and apps especially accounts and forget about in app data that's only on your iPad and not in a cloud service because it will be gone after this
    - Connect iPad to Mac and startup iTunes
    - Hold down Home and Power buttons simultaneously for about 8 sec until the screen turns black
    - Release the Power button but continue holding the Home button until there's a popup on your screen which indicates it's in recovery mode
    - Follow the instructions to recover your iPad but recover it to factory state, not recover from a backup
    - Reinstall all your apps and content
    - Reconnect to all your services on your system and apps
    I could not restore from a backup since it brought back my bad data too.  It also didn't restore my music and no matter what I tried it wouldn't put my music onto my iPad.  Had to start clean.
    It appears over time that the system gets dirty and there's lots of bad data that can't get resolved.  This is especially true if some of your apps have crashed a bunch.

  • ICloud email won't work after upgrade

    iCloud email won't work after upgrade to Mountain Lion.  Says pop 3 server is timing out. Solutions?

    I'm sorry, as I keep saying... in MAIL I get the message that it cannot cannot to server!? Did you read the initial problem at all! I know exactly where mail is, although, the diagram was wonderful.
    My problem is TWO FOLD.
    The MAIL app doesn't work with iCloud but does work with my POP3 email for my office.
    Second problem is the iCloud on Safari doesn't work as I get the error message as the screenshot above.
    There is NO reason why the @me.com email shouldn't work through the iCloud site, as you can see, there is a also a Mail icon.
