OS X 10.7 (Lion) iPhoto incompatible with Canon G16 RAW files

Can anyone help me with this issue? I recently decided to shoot RAW on my Canon cameras EOS 40D & Power Shot G16. No issues in importing EOS 40D RAW files, but not the same with the G16 RAW files. After the importing phase is finished I would receive an error message indicating that *.CR2 (G16 RAW) is not supported. I checked the support threads and it shows that G16 should be supported. Any suggestions? Thanks in Advance.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5), IPHOTO '11 & Canon G16 camera

Run Software update and see if there are any updates for iPhoto that will help support your camera.

Here is the download link for the RAW update:

Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 5.01

The bad news is that the system requirements state Mountain lion or later is required.

You're correct I just downloaded the file you mentioned. When about to install it says that I require 10.8 or higher OS to load. Newer upgrade is not in the picture now and plus from what I've read 10.10 hasn't received many great reviews. Thanks babowa.
