Update problem - can't upgrade Camera Raw

I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro. I am trying to reinstall my Photoshop CS5 Extended (student edition) and complete the upgrade to Camera Raw 6.7, but I get an error saying "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." I click on "contact customer support" link, which brings up a page with the title " Error: This serial number is not for a qualifying product."
I bought this myself, and did not deactivate it prior to wiping my hard drive and upgrading my operating system. Is this the problem?
How can I update Camera Raw, and all the other Adobe extensions for that matter?

Here is the error that appears :

  • Can I upgrade Camera Raw support in Elements 10 to level 8.3 or 8.4?

    I just bought a Nikon D5300 and I wanted to shoot see some test images I shot in Camera Raw.  Trouble is that Elements 10 support for NEF files is at level 6.7, and, according to the Adobe charts, the D5300 NEF files are supported at level 8.3 or 8.4 because the camera is newer than Elements 10.  So, I tried to run an update in Elements 10, but it's telling me that it's up to date.
    So, how do I get support for my new camera in Elements 10?  Is there a way to upgrade the Camera Raw support to level 8.3 or 8.4?

    I posted a second question because I tried the DNG converter, but it doesn't support the 5300, or I can't get it to work.  So, my thought was to try to find a copy of PSE 11 I could register, and then try to upgrade it. 
    Soapbox mode on.
    Much of the conversation about raw files relates to the continuous improvement process of both the camera manufacturers and the software makers.  In my case, Nikon released the D5300 in November 2013 with full support for it in its View NX software.  And I can use that software to create JPEG's that PSE 10 can work with, but it's far from an optimal solution.
    Adobe brought out PSE12, and the Camera Raw plug in covers a host of new cameras including mine.  OK, but the issue is that those of us who have 'older' software then are forced to upgrade to the PSE version that will support our cameras, instead of just installing a plug-in, as we do to our browsers when a new version of Flash Player comes out.  the only thing constant is 'change'.
    It's apparent from comments I've been reading on the Forum that many of the Adobe employees who answer questions here are put out by the pace of change and the amount of work they have to do in order to respond to new cameras, etc.  That's their job, and they should complain less and work more, IMO.  If those Adobe employees are irritated by the questions we users ask, perhaps they should reconsider the attitude they display in answering them, or maybe even a career change.
    However, Adobe itself should be making the plug-ins for PS, LR and PSE so they can apply to older versions when possible.  Adobe needs to set a horizon on what older products to work with, and not just the latest version.  When I worked in software development, that horizon was -2 versions plus the two in development.  By that logic, PSE 10 should be capable of supporting the latest versions of the Camera Raw plug-in.  And if I were in Adobe's software development unit, this is what I'd pitch for.  Microsoft does it, and Adobe does it too with Microsoft products, so why not with PS, LR and PSE?  It's not that hard, people.
    Soapbox mode off.
    I can and probably will use the Nikon software for raw images.  If I want to use some special effects, I can come back to PSE or LR.  But I'm not disposed to throw another $80 to Adobe for a product every time I buy a new camera. 
    Would you be?

  • Problem using/upgrading camera raw

    I have Windows 7/64 bit. When I first installed Photoshop CS5, I immediately upgraded Camera Raw. Later, after opening Bridge from Photoshop, I found I could not get Bridge to open a file in Camera Raw. I knew that Raw was working because I had previously opened an Adobe lesson file using it. When I attempted to open one of my files I received an error message: "Bridge's parent application is not active". I have since learned that Bridge will only open a file in Raw, if Bridge is initiated from the 32bit version of Photoshop (or if the 32bit version of Photoshop is open). OK, I thought I'd solved the problem, ie open both the 32bit and 64bit versions of photoshop and then access to Raw is fine. However, I then decided to upgrade Camera Raw in the 32bit version of Photoshop. When I then attempted to open what I thought was the 32bit version, I got the 64bit version instead and, of course, lost the access to Raw.
    I've only learned this after uninstalling and re-installing several times. I'm now not willing to upgrade Camera Raw for fear of losing access to it again. This is not a very satisfactory situation.
    Does anyone understand what is going on, and whether there is a work-around?
    Thanks

    There's nothing wrong here. You only all too quickly updated it. You need to run PS at least once, and open an image via ACR (the one that it installs by default), so it configures itself. Once that has happened, updates should go smoothly without all the higgledy-piggledy. For more specific guidance ask in the ACR and Photoshop forums.

    Which camera make and model are your Raw files from?
    Camera Raw ships with Photoshop and is constantly upgraded by Adobe to keep up with new cameras as they are released to market.
    It's likely that your camera requires a version of Camera Raw which is not compatible with your CS5. Or you may simply need to upgrade Camera Raw via Help > Updates in Photoshop.

  • HT4757 Can the digital camera RAW compatibility update 3.13 work for iPad?

    Trying to transfer photos from my Nikon 3200 to iPad using the camera kit.  Can the digital camera RAW compatibility 3.13 update work for iPad?  Attempts to download it directly to iPad sends it to Evernote and then message comes up that synchronization failed.  Not a tech geek by any means so if you can help, please explain as simply as possible.  Thanks much.

    45 views and no replies? Isn't there anyone that can answer if I need this update or not or is my question not clear? Does anyone else have a similar question relating to  the Digital Camera Raw compatibility update 3.11?

  • Since installing Photoshop CC I can't access Camera Raw from the program Bridge.

    Since installing Photoshop CC I can't access Camera Raw from the program Bridge.  When I try, I get a message that says, "Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."  Is Photoshop CC a qualifying product?  It has been opened a number of times, but it doesn't solve this problem.

    I am having this exact same problem and just upgraded to Windows 7...many people are saying to update the Plug In for Camera Raw to 4.6, but that is not working for me to see it in Bridge or Camera Raw.

  • Can't open Camera Raw from Bridge CS3

    Need Help with the following issue. Until recently I was able to open & edit camera raw files in Bridge CS3. Tried to update Bridge from Adobe website and all of a sudden the "open in camera raw" option under File is greyed out. Also right-clicking the raw (CR2) file does not allow me to open the file in camera raw and I can't view the files as thumbnails any longer. When I double click the file Photoshop opens and subsequently camera raw. I have really lost the convenience of opening the file in Bridge and I'm afraid my workflow will suffer. Any help would be appreciated. I am running Windows 7. Thanks.

  • I have Photoshop CS5.1 (bought in 2011). The photoshop Camera Raw plug-in is not recognizing the format of my new Nikon D610. I updated the version of my Camera Raw plug in and am still getting this message when trying to open images in photoshop. Please

    I have Photoshop CS5.1 (bought in 2011). The photoshop Camera Raw plug-in is not recognizing the format of my new Nikon D610. I updated the version of my Camera Raw plug in and am still getting this message when trying to open images in photoshop. Please help.

    This link shows that ACR 8.3 supports the Nikon D610 and 6.7.1 was the final version for CS5.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    So you can upgrade to CS6 and ACR 8.7.1
    or using the DNG converter, convert your Nikon raw files to dng format to open in CS5.
    Here is the download link: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
    or Windows: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
    And here is a great video tutorial on how to use the converter.

  • Can't install Camera RAW 6.3 into Elements 9

    I have downloaded the installer for 6.3 but when I go to install it, I get this message. "Some updates failed to install."  When it tells me to fix the problems below, all it says is:  installation failed!
    I need this update in order to open RAW images from my Canon Powershot S95.
    I am working with Elements 9 on both an iMac running OS 10.6.8 and onto a new MacBook Pro.
    I have spent an hour reading everything I can and haven't been able to find any place to send this question to Adobe by email.  The phone system for help has more than a half-hour of wait time.
    Can someone figure out this problem?
    Cherie

    Thank you. I couldn't find the Mac update section at the Adobe site by 
    using the various search options.
    But,
    The new download 6.5 installed without trouble. However, the "open with" 
    command still prompted Elements to respond with an "Unrecognized file type" 
    error, even though Elements was not listed as the default application.
    Trying to open a nef file within Actrobat still showed the nef files grayed
    out as unopenable with the application.
    I tried to do the manual copying of the camera raw.plugin from the Assets 2
    folder as you suggested. H owever it does not appear to be used in the 
    newer version (6.5). Instead, there is a Profiles directory containing two 
    further directories: CameraProfiles and LensProfiles.
    The CameraProfiles folder contains a series of further folders for various 
    camera types, and each folder had a number of .dcp files. I can't find a
    "camera  raw.plugin" anywhere within Assets 2.
    So, in sum:
    1) The disk image Elements9CameraRaw-6.5-mul-AdobeUpdate downloaded from 
    Adobe installs correctly.
    2) The default program type for .nef files was changed to Elements
    3) Elements will not open a .nef file either from "open with" or within the
    application selecting open from the menu.
    Hoping you can help me work around this problem.
    Thank you.
