RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)

You don't need to use Terminal provided that your user account is admin enabled or you can authenticate the command.

All you do is go to System/Library/CoreServices and delete the 2 files RawCameraBundle and RawCameraSupportBundle (to be safe copy them to a folder on the desktop in case you need to put them back or you can always recover using a Time Machine backup) Then download the Raw Compatibility v5.07 update and it should fix the problem. Hopefully Apple will fix this when they release another update for Aperture as it means that the Raw Support files now installed are not the latest versions that came with Aperture 3.6

After I upgraded to Yosemite and then Aperture v3.6 I found this problem was happening but only to photos that had been taken on a Fuji X100 and and X100S no other photos from other cameras were affected.

Many thanks for your answer. I had the problem with multiple camera bodies. However now with the exception of 2 images the problem appears to be resolved with the 5.07 RAW installation although it did not work for several days after the install. So I'm not certain why it now works but nevertheless I'm glad that it does.

Man, so I followed this advice because my Canon Rebel T4i just shows "Loading..." when it's connected to either Aperture or iPhoto and never changes. I then downloaded "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.07" and......NOW MY CAMERA ISN'T RECOGNIZED BY MY COMPUTER AT ALL! Please help, I'm at a total loss as to what I should do.

John,

Your camera should not have been affected by the recent updates as it was supported from Mountain Lion OSX10.8 onwards

Sounds like you have a different problem try the following.

Close Aperture, restart the Mac then do the following

Hold down Alt and CMD and start Aperture, you should get a window with 3 options to repair or rebuild your Aperture Library or repair permissions, choose the middle option, if that doesn't fix the problem try the other 2 options.

This solved it immediately. YOU ARE MY HERO! Thank you!!

I had same problem seeing RAW images in iPhoto after Yosemite upgrade. I have now done the 5.07 installation as directed above - now I am able to see my RAW images in iPhoto, BUT when I try to edit images in "Adjust" tab I get this error message: "Image Cannot Be Edited, This photo was adjusted using a version of Apple's RAW processing tool that is not available on this system." In other words now I can see the RAW images I cannot edit them. Help please!

There is a new update which fixes this problem v6.01. Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01

I have the latest mac and aperture versions (yosemite 10.10.1, 3.6) and STILL have a problem with unsupported file format. It's only in one project; I can see the thumbnails until I try an adjustment, then the error message comes up. I've repaired permissions, librbary and rebuilt database, all without luck.

I don't have the images to re-import from my SD card.

Thanks in advance for any additional suggestions.

You could also try to reinstall the latest RAW support: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01

There have been some posts that the version downloaded from the App Store has been different from the version on the support page.

And try to reprocess the images in your last imported project. "Photos > Reprocess Originals).

I have tried your suggestions without luck. I tried a test by duplicating the original file and importing it into aperture. It would not import and gave me an error. I can open the file in Photoshop )after downloading latest Java for OS X), so it seems like the original file is not corrupted. I'm at a loss, and really frustrated!

did you try this one?

Re: RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)

My RAW images are not showing up in iPhoto. How do I access the "System/Library/CoreServices" that you mentioned above so that I can deleted the 2 bundles and then install the new Camera RAW capability? Thanks!

Use the Finder's "Go" menu. "Go > Go to folder" and enter "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the panel.

Thanks for the suggestion - this does work, but only temporarily. I'm running a Nikon D3200 on the most recent firmware. It sure does seem like there has been a persistent bug with this.

What happens when I place an SD card in the SD card slot with fresh .NEF content from my camera:

-Sometimes the photos read fine.

-Sometimes the photo comes out all white.

-Sometimes the photo comes out all black.

-Sometimes the photo is filled with digital jaggies.

-A percentage of the time the user interface in the app crashes making the gui impossible to read.

-I've done all the typical zap the pram, reset the smc, repair permissions and repair disk.

-It doesn't appear to be hardware related.

It seems that nearly every import does this. So, in order to import photos into iPhoto I have to delete the raw camera bundle and raw camera support files

in system\library\coreservices and reboot. But if I decide to take more shots and import more I have to do it all over again. 90% of the time the photo will be digital jaggies, black, white or the entire UI will be unusable.

I'm predicting that the forthcoming photos app will fix all of this but due to whatever delays they are experiencing I'm stuck with this over and over again.

I literally have DMGs on my desktop for RawCameraUpdate5.06.dmg (least crashprone), RawCameraUpdate5.07.dmg and RawCameraUpdate6.0.2.dmg.

Anyone else with a Nikon D3200 or other Nikon D series camera having issues? I'm on an iMac Corei7 machine with 16 gigs of ram and 1 TB internal drive

running Yosemite 10.10.2 and iPhoto 11 (ver 9.6). I actually backed up my entire 300+ gig photo collection and started over but the issues still continue.

I think you have an issue with your d3200 memory cards or external third party card reader. Try importing your images directly into your Mac platform (and Aperture) via the Nikon supplied USB 2.0 cable.
