I have an iMac OS x 10.6.8 and always used iPhoto with good success, importing images including RAW format from my Nikon D40 into iPhoto. Since I bought a new Nikon D7100 camera I cannot upload the RAW images from its SC cards. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Apple occasionally releases software updates to include RAW formats for newer cameras, but apparently, OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard (assuming the OS shown in your profile is indeed the one you're using) does not support the Nikon D7100 RAW format:
Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats
Upgrading to at least OS X 10.7 Lion would apparently fix that problem.
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06
Same for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats
If your iMac can run it OS X Mavericks: System Requirements, OS X Mavericks 10.9 is a free download upgrade, and it also supports the Nikon D7100 RAW format: OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats
I always imported my SD cards into iPhoto. Now it doesn't work with the cards from my new Nikon D7100 camera. What to do?
