Running CS4 on iMac. Nikon D5100. Won't recognize .nef files. Help???

Currently I have CS4, 11.0.2 with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213 installed. I've tried to install camera raw version 6.4 - which is what their chart says I need for the D5100, but I get an error message: "Updates could not be applied. This patch is not applicable for you. Please check for updates from the Help menu in your product to see a list of latest updates available." My Help menu shows: "There are no updates available at this time". I found one recommendation about clearing out the cache for the Adobe Update Manager, but I've looked everywhere and can not locate any such file on the computer. I'm stumped. Can anyone help?

D5100 support was added in ACR 6.4 you need to download the 8.6 DNG Converter and create DNG file for your NEF files for CS4.

Lightroom 4.4 won't recognize NEF files from my D5100

I've been using Lightroom 4 for over a year now to process NEF files straight from my memory card. For some reason, LR has stopped recognizing my NEF files. The only change was that I upgraded to 4.4 recently. Has anyone else experienced this? I did find a free adobe program that converts NEF to DNG files, but it's an extra step I don't want to have to mess around with if I don't have to.

LR 4.4 recognizes more cameras than the prior versions and doesn’t forget them.
Either you’re not using LR 4.4 like you think you are—this would be pretty obvious so I assume you are, or the files are being corrupted or otherwise changed so they’re no longer recognized.
The most common thing that causes NEFs to be unrecognized is using an older version of Nikon Transfer V1 or ViewNX which doesn’t know how to handle the header information in newer model cameras.
If you aren’t using an older version of Nikon programs with your NEFs, and instead using LR to copy the files from your camera memory card to the computer, then it is possible that LR 4.4 is using the USB functions of your computer differently than previous versions of LR and something with your USB system (cables, drivers) is iffy and that is causing corruption of the files. It could also be a bad card that is being transferred from faster than before and this is causing issues.
The way to test for LR-copying cause the problem is to use some other method to move files from the memory card to your computer, a card reader being most common, and see if the files are recognized, then.

PSElements 4.0 plug-in still won't recognize NEF files

I have Windows XP. I closed PSE 4 and went to Hard Drive C:>Program Files>Adobe>Photoshop Elements 4>Plug-ins>file formats. I removed the old 8bi to my desktop and downloaded Camera Raw 3.7 zipped file into the file formats location. But upon opening PSE 4, it still won't open my NEF files from my Nikon D200. Any suggestions. I was going to purchase upgrade of PSE6 but will that make any difference. Shouldn't it work in PSE4?

Did you unzip the download file?

CS3 Bridge on Mac won't recognize .NEF files - please help

Reinstalled CS3 on mac last night per Apple request.
Re-Install appeared successful, but when I went to Bridge all I saw was generic icons and could not open .NEF files or see their preview.
So I looked in Adobe help and was advised to install latest plug in for Camera Raw, and did that. Camera Raw 4.6 is the one I chose.
I received the download for Camera Raw 4.6, but was unable to install it since the file path from the following link does not match a file path I have, or know how to follow, in my computer.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407945.html
WHen I look in Bridge (Camera Raw preferences) it still says I have the version 4.0 of Camera Raw, but I can locate Camera Raw 4.6 Plug-In on my computer, but can't locate version 4.0 on my computer.
I can double click on any raw file in my computer and it will bring me to camera raw, which I can then open in photoshop...but now I can not see a preview of the image because it only shows a generic icon.
Please help

Thank you soooo much for your quick responses. Unfortunately I had already tried both of the suggested options and found that I did not have those file paths available to me. I have since contacted Apple. They informed me that I would need to reinstall my OS, that it is not currently installed correctly. And I am therefore in the process of reinstallation of my OS. So...once that is complete, will fallow that paths as directed. If by chance fallowing the suggested paths in order to install the necessary plug-ins works. I will be off and running. If not....I will be back and in desperate need of some more help. So, please stay tuned. Again, thank you!!!

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

IMac with Mavericks won't recognize new 60D

iMac with Mavericks won't recognize new 60D

No drivers are required on the Mac to use the camera. The Mac will natively recongize the camera.
You can install Canon's supplemental software or you can use the Apple provided software or 3rd party software.
However... when you connect a camera to a Mac and it recognizes the camera, you *can* configure what you want the computer to launch. By default, a Mac will usually launch iPhoto.
If you open iPhoto (do this EVEN if you don't want to use iPhoto) then go into iPhoto -> Preferences and look at the "General" category. You'll see an option that reads: "Connecting camera opens:" with a selection menu next to it. You can use that menu to pick what you want your Mac to do, then close and quite iPhoto.
When connecting the camera to the computer, do the following:
Turn the camera off
Use the supplied USB cord to attach the camera to the computer (some caveats here... I'll mention them below).
Power the camera on after it's attached.
About those caveats on step 2.
The reason I say "use the supplied USB cord" instead of use any USB cord is because if you're like me... you've got LOTS of USB cords laying around. Some of these come with devices that use USB for charging purposes. And some of those USB cables ONLY bother to wire the power supply pins and not the data transfer pins. In other words... it looks like a normal cable, but wont actually allow for data transfer. You will need to take care to make sure you're using a proper cable.
Next I should caveat the use of USB hubs. Whenever you're having a problem with a computer not recognizing a USB device, it's a good idea to disconnect extraneous USB devices that have nothing to do with your issue AND if there's a USB "hub" involved... bypass the hub and connect the camera directly to a USB port on the computer itself.
I use a USB hub and this particular hub is reliable... but truthfully I had to buy three different hubs before I found one that worked reliably. I've discovered there are a lot of flakey hubs on the market. When in doubt... bypass the hub. If you find that you can get your computer to recognize your camera on a consistent basis if you bypass the hub then you can direct your attention to finding a reliable hub.
That's the end of the caveats.
I wrote a response to a user with a similar issue in which I detail the steps to use the Mac's System Information utility to determine if the camera is showing up as connected to the camera. You can find that post here:

Photoshop no longer recognizes NEF files / won't open jpg files because of "missing marker segment"

I am running Photoshop CS6 on a 2013 iMac with OSX version 10.9.2.
1) As of today, Photoshop no longer recognizes NEF files. This has never happened before, and the files are coming from the same camera I've used for the past five years.
2) I receive the following message when I attempt to open a .jpg file "Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete)."
This is also the first time this has happened, and happens with EVERY .jpg file I attempt to open.
3) Both of these errors ONLY happen when I am opening files located on the work server. I hit COMMAND K to connect to serveral work servers -- my work space, shared collaboration folder, and an image archive that was recently moved. If I grab the file that I want and transfer it to my desktop, and open it with Photoshop from there, it works fine.
I have run all updates.
I'm not sure if this is a Mac issue (with regard to accessing the work servers) or a Photoshop issue.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Photoshop does "play nice" over networks, but seems to catch more OS and server bugs than other applications (mostly because we've added more error detection code over the years after dealing with many OS and server problems).

Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type while importing from Canon 5d Mark iii

Anyone mind helping me trouble shoot why my Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type of my Canon 5D Mark iii ?
I have seen this in a couple other threads but none of those suggestions worked for me. I am also a Mac user.

Bomal9 wrote:
I have Lightroom 4.3 and a Mark iii and cannot import raw files into Lightroom.
The above contradicts with this:
Bomal9 wrote:
I am downloading images through the Canon EOS Utility manager and have to import the photos in a folder into Lightroom.
So my reading of that is that you ARE importing Raw files from the 5D3 into Lightroom, but having to use a roundabout route to do so. Is that correct? If so, how are you trying to import when you "cannot import raw files into Lightroom", are you using a card reader or direct camera attachment? Have you tried both methods? And what happens when you do try?

Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

Help... Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
This will convert your newer 7100 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS3.
Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

Thanks in advance

Often, this error message means that you have used some version of Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer, and this has corrupted the files. There is a fix which uncorrupts the files at http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
But you said you get this message when you "connect my other camera Nikon D3100", the key word being "connect", and this doesn't really fit the description I just gave. This error message normally happens after you have transferred the photos to your computer via Nikon software, not when you connect it. So ... maybe you need to explain a little more ... what exact task (what menu options, what are you clicking on, what are you trying to do) when you get this error.

Bridge CS4 won't open .NEF file in camera raw

It says because photoshop CS4 does not recognize this type of file. I've opened plenty of Nikon .NEF files in Bridge. The difference is this is a D90 file and I've been getting D80 files. Is there a patch for newer camera models?

On a Mac I don't know which directory it should be in.
Camera Raw preferences: Bridge: menu Adobe Bridge/ Camera Raw preferences.
Inhere you can set the wished behavior for tiff. By default it shows tiffs
only in ACR when you choose to do so with right mouse click menu (open in
Camera Raw) or if the Tiff had earlier been altered in ACR, then it opens
automatically in ACR unless you choose not to do so.

ITunes won't sync Nef files from Nikon D5300

iTunes will sync Nef files nicely from my Nikon D5100 but not the new D5300. D5300 a new sensor configuration, even the Nikon software needed an update to work with D5300 nef. iTunes probably needs an update or even better use the windows codec Nikon provides. It's on my machine but apparently not used by iTunes.

Nor will iPhoto at the time of writing import NEF files. I am assuming there will be a firmware update in the next week or so (hopefully)

Why can't install latest Flash Pla. on my iMac 27" Adobe won't recognize the p-word we just created?

You need to provide the user ID and password using which you log in to your Mac machine. (not any user ID and password you created in Adobe site.)

Bridge and Photoshop CS4 will not recognise the images shot in NEF file

Shot in Nikon D810 with NEF file but the images will not recognise with Bridge and Photo
shop CS4

That camera was recently supported for the first time by ACR 8.6, which needs at least CS6 to run. You will never be able to open those raw NEF files in CS4, as there will never be an update for CS4.
Your choices are to upgrade, or to use the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 on each and every batch of raw NEF files in order to convert them to raw DNGs that you can open in CS4.
