I have a new camera Nikon D600, iPhoto will not let me load my RAW files into iPhoto. It gives me a message /Users/cindyellis1/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Import/Masters/Roll 1/DSC_0003.NEF
iPhoto '11, iOS 5.1.1, won't upload photo's from camera
There's more to that message, that just tells you where the file is. That said, I don't believe there is support for the Raw from the D600 yet.
So, I am taking it that I have to upgrade to Mountain Lion in order to process my photos from my Raw files with my Nikon D600 camera. That is not what I wanted to do.
What I am sayin is, when I tried to download the app, my computer says it doesn't support it.
And what Apple is saying is that support of your camera requires OS X 10.7.5 or later

Ok, so what Apple is saying, I need Mountain Lion. I have 10.6.8 OS. How do I get the 10.7.5 OS?
It will be very difficult to get a cop of 10.7 now as it was only sold as a download. You need to move to 10.8 if you want native Raw support in iPhoto for your new camera.
Alternatively, you can explore other options. Will Lightroom support it? Will it run on 10.6.8? If you really don;t want to upgrade the OS then it might be worth posting that one on the Adobe forums.
All of that said, sooner or later you will leave 10.6 behind. It might be worth finding out what went wrong last time you upgraded and see if you can avoid that next time.
For instance, rather than using Time machine, why not make a bootable clone of your machine with an app like Carbon Copy Cloner before upgrading?

Thanks for all your help. Now that I have downloaded Mountain Lion, my computer is all messed up. My expensive and valuable programs such as Photoshop and iPhoto do not run smoothly anymore. They crash and some of my Photoshop actions will not load. Is there anything I can do about this?
Of course there is, but you're really going to have to explain what "do not run smoothly" actually means. Are your Photoshop Actions updated for 10.8?
Not sure if they are updated for the 10.8 version. I will ask the manufacturer. When I say my computer doesn't run smoothly, I mean it crashes more than before, some actions do not work in Photoshop 5 and it is a bit slower than before. And my computer is really hot to the touch after about an hour of being on.
Check with Adobe - PS 5 is really old now and may not be compatible with OS X 10.8
LN
It better be compatible . I am not about to buy another Photoshop
"better Be" ? old software often will not run on newer computers or OSs - the time to see if your software is compatible with new hardware or software is before you upgrade
LN
This is the first time ever that I have had this many problems with my Apple products not being compatible with software and I have udgraded sevearal times. PS5 is not that old. I bought it just a couple years ago. Can't keep spening $$$ to keep things running. I had to upgrade to OS 10.8 in order to use my Raw files with my camera, now it is going to cost me $$$ to have my other programs work on this OS.
Maybe - Maybe - check with Adobe re PS 5 - current version of PS is an old program released in May 1998 -- many, many versions since then
According to Adobe it may not be compatiable with OS X 10.8

PS 5 is definitely not compatible with Mt. Lion. If you can't affort an upgrade to PS consider purchasinge Photoshop Elements 10 for Mac. It has about 70 percent of PS's capabilities, probably closer to 90 percent of PS 5 at around $79.
The only feature of PS that I use that PSE doesn't have is creating/using CMYK mode files. The new PSE has features that PS 5 could only dream of. You should visit the PSE site and see what it's capable of.

Well,it is is woking somewhat but not great. I just bought the PS5 less then two years ago for over $700.00. I would expect it to be able to work for many more years than that, expecially when the PS6 version is about the same features. I am not about to downgrade to elements after spending tons of money for PS5. I have all the elements up to version 8.
Ok, this new camera is turning into a money pit. I bought the D600 Nikon, then my Apple Snow Leopard Operation System would not support (let me download raw files) my Raw files, so then I had to upgrade to the new Operating System on the Mac, the Mountain Lion. Now my Photoshop 5 will not work on the new Operating System so I have to upgrade to PS6.
It is discouraging that we have to keep upgrading when the upgraded versions are hardly any different than the current version. I see little difference in the operating systems except for the fact they don't support current programs and software.
I have a new camera Nikon D600 and when I go to upload photos into iPhoto this message comes up /Users/cindyellis1/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Import/Masters/Roll 1/DSC_0003.NEF
