DNG converted files won't load is not in windows LR

I usually use LR on my Mac, but my work recently bought LR for windows (they don't support Mac)

I downloaded the camera RAW to DNG converter, but when I try to open the files converted in LR, I then see in the preview screen, but when I change the mode to "develop", I get a blue screen, but I can still see the image in the Preview on the left window.

I have never experienced this on my Mac.

I hope someone can help :-/

Hi Bridget,

It looks like you can run into a problem with a GPU/incompatible card not supported. Try the following.

1. in LR preferences, go to the performance tab

2. uncheck the 'use graphics processor '.

3 return to develop LR mode

Kind regards

-Chris

    You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    Step 1

    VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.

    Step 2

    When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

    Step 3

    In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:

    com Apple.something.plist

    When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.

    Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

    com Apple.builins.plist

    com Apple.cereng.plist

    com Apple.nysgar.plist

    There may be one or more items with a name of the form:

    com.something.plist

    Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.

    These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

    com.semifasciaUpd.plist

    com.ubuiling.plist

    Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:

    com.something .net - preferences.plist

    This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:

    com.jangly .net - preferences.plist

    Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:

    com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist

    com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist

    com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist

    com Apple.aelwriter.plist

    com Apple.SERVERD.plist

    com Tether.plist

    The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.

    Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

    If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.

    If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.

    Step 4

    Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

    ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

    and click on

    Set on the current Page

    If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.

    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

    Step 5

    The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.

    Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.

    Step 6

    This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

  • Cannot open the NEF in Nikon D7100 with CS5 or DNG Converter files

    I installed CS5.1 and it shows that Camera Raw is to 6.7.0.339.  I have a Nikon D7100 Camera Raw of 7.4, requiring that I downloaded and run the installer with no apparent error.  PS still shows that CR is at 6.7.0.339.  Then... I downloaded the DNG Converter - latest 9.6.   When I open and navigate to a folder where I have a bunch of files the D7100 NAVE it gives a message that says "the source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files.  I thought the idea of the DNG Converter to convert the NEF files in a 'standard' DNG, but I can't even it works.  I know that the folder contains the D7100 NEF files.  What I am doing wrong?

    Did you by chance use other software to get the files from your camera to your computer like Nikon transfer? Thus is known to corrupt the raw during the shots.

    If so this link should fix. You don't need to use because you can use the card reader to move them from the camera to your computer. If I am barking the wrong tree I'm sorry, it looks that you select the folder and not individual files from your description, that is good to do.

  • PSE 7 - Canon 60 d - DNG converter 6.3.0.79: does not work

    Hello

    I have PSE 7 and just got a nice Canon 60 d camera. "CR2" of this camera RAW files are not recognized by the Organizer in PSE 7. They are not recognised in Camera Raw 5.6, I have install in PSE 7. The Canon 60 d is covered by a more recent version of Camera Raw, but version 5.6 is the last which is compatible with PSE 7.

    As I understand it, the solution would be to convert my RAW CR2 files to DNG format using the DNG Converter. So I installed the stand-alone DNG Converter, version 6.3.0.79. It seems to open correctly. The problem is that the first step, when I select the file in which are stored RAW of the Canon 60 d files, the DNG Converter does not see them. No files appear in the right pane of the file Explorer that opens, once in the direrectory where the files are stored, and it is written "No Items Match your search. Of course, after clicking on the "Select" button I get the message "no images have been selected. I know that the files are there because they appear in Windows Explorer (Vista 32 bit) and seem to be properly described here when I check their 'properties '. Some of these the Canon 60 d Camera CR2 RAW files have been trasfered from the SD card to the hard drive by the Organizer (although the organiser does not show them and refuses to import them into your own environment). Others have been "copied and pasted" from 'I' drive to the hard drive. Same result in both cases.

    The question is: what can I do to convert my RAW CR2 for Canon 60 d in DNG format camera?

    Thank you very much. Thank you very much!

    Make two new folders:

    (1) CR2 files to process

    (2) the DNG file converted

    Place your CR2 files in folder 1.

    Open the DNG Converter, and then click Select folder (1) to browse and choose a folder 1

    Then click on select folder (2) (except in the new location) to browse and choose a folder 2

    Click on convert.

    Wait for program to finish, then exit.

    Go to the folder 2 to find your DNG files and import of items with file > Get Photos > files & folders.

  • Convert previously converted from raw with Adobe DNG converter files?

    It seems that I'm not able to convert my raw files that have already been previously converted to DNG with the dng converter.  I am wanting to start editing everything new with the raw image, but before I can start editing a raw image, I have to convert it to a .dng.  Why doesn't the converter program let me convert the raw file again and give me the opportunity to appoint differently than the first file?  What I am doing wrong?

    If not, is it possible I can say ACR (whether in bridge or photoshop) to get rid of all the changes made on the first converted .dng file and start over again with image in camera?

    Thanks for any help!

    I don't know why your DNG Converter has stopped working.  You have successfully updated to a later version?  But you don't need to go through this process again.  In Bridge, just click on the images and there is an option to reset the Camera Raw settings.  Or, inside of Camera Raw, press the Alt key and a button will change to "Reset".  In both cases, all the camera raw settings are erased, giving you the image as it has been downloaded.

  • Some projects won't load does not, first Elements 4

    At first, my projects worked very well. I was in the middle of working on a particular project before decide me, ' Hey, we're going to upgrade the computer!

    Now, some projects simply won't load. I click on the project, and all I get is a blackened by window with the text "user interface initialization" below left. It never initializes.

    It is when I have the chance. Sometimes, all crashes with just a few "the first meeting with a serious error." It does not freeze, cause the program is able to create a backup before its closure, so I think that there is some kind of conflict. But for the life of me, I can't understand it.

    The only thing that is changed from then to now is I now version 64-bit instead of 32-bit windows. Graphics card is the same, the memory is the same, everything is the same. That's all just a new installation of windows.

    It cannot be just a general incompatibility, because some projects take very well. It's completely random those who, although they tend to be small. (a few small projects is loading)

    I had to reinstall first but who usually solves problems not create.

    Some things I've tried:

    Clear cache

    Removal of the preferences

    Relocation of

    Disable hardware acceleration

    programs to disable my anti virus (AVG and Spybot 2.0)

    Compatibility mode for Windows XP service pack 2 AND 3

    Give administrator privileges

    It is the only open application

    politely asked

    This software has been my companion software edition for years. I need to understand what got so weird since the 64-bit update.

    Specifications of the computer:

    Radeon 6670

    8 GB memory

    Windows 7 64 bit

    Processor Intel i5 3401

    ASUS Micro-ATX Motherboard

    All my drivers are up to date. Quick time is updated. Flash is up to date. The Cree program open when the draft takes over and works like a charm. So, what gives?

    Red truck inc.

    I have the first Elements 4 in Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 64bits. No problems. In the properties/Compatibility tab, I leave "run this program in compatibility mode for" unchecked. I have to right click on the first Elements 4, select run as administrator, even though I have worked for a user with the privileges of the administrator account. Then, focus on the angle of permissions a little more.

    With the thought of the possible remains of incomplete install or reinstall, you did just uninstall, ccleaner Cross (parts regular and register of vacuuming), reinstall?

    Is this video card Radeon 6670 only video card that has the computer? Are you on any network? Do you run a system single or dual monitor on your Windows 7 64 bit?

    Just some thoughts for now.

    Later.

    The problem lies in the fact Event.COMPLETE when loading images add probably images in the order that they are LOADED and not to LOAD do not. Is there a method that will make them add in the order that they are called?

    Thanks for any help!

    It is not a method in actonscript but there is a method in the loading process to keep things in sequence.  Rather than using a loop for trigger Chargers, create a functional loop where the realization of a loading image triggers the following to start loading.

    The General/generic outline of the process would be (non-literal encoding)...

    var fileArray = your xml files list

    indexCount var = 0

    function loadAFile() {}

    Loader.Load (fileArray [indexCount])

    loader.addListener (COMPLETE, incorporateFile)

    }

    function incorporateFile() {}

    treat the file loaded in place and then to see if someone else must be responsible

    indexCount += 1;

    If (indexCount<>

    loadAFile();

    }

    }

    loadAFile();  Kick things off

  • VOB files don't play no not in Windows Media Player

    I have several DVD that have been copied to my hard drive.  When attempting to open the .vob files, I use Windows Media player.  WMP opens, then closes while PowerDVD DX opens.  Nothing happens at this point.  Looking through the forums and search on the internet I can't find a solution that works.

    Hello jtrall, welcome.
     
    It seems that WMP (Windows Media Player) is given to the task of playing the. VOB to PowerDVD files because of several possible reasons:
     
    1 PowerDVD is set as default program for reading VOB file
    2 WMP cannot find a proper way to play the VOB file
    3. missing Codecs or other program incompatibilities
     
    In order to diagnose the problem and find a solution, we will need to know:
     
    1A Windows Media Player never been able to play the VOB files before?
    2. what version of Windows Media Player are you running?
     
    You should be able, as a temporary workaround, use PowerDVD as the DVD playback software. If you start PowerDVD, and then click File > Open (or something similar) you will be able to select the source of the DVD files that are VOB files stored on your computer.
     
    Send us the above information and we can go from there
     
    Thank you!

  • Firefox won't load is not the version of the graphic text of a website

    I see more and more pages on several site where firefox will load only the text version of the page, not the graphics. I won't be able to click a button and get a reaction. Even on support of mozilla page button to click to contains the wouldn't do anything. I had to simply press the Enter key to get it to do anything. I have reset FF default values and also load it in safe mode and the same things happening.

    the link below says "try these manual steps", but clicking on it does nothing.

    Hi soboku, ESET filtering characteristic can be adjusted to avoid problems with secure sites, either by disabling the filtering of SSL connections or by importing certificate ESET in Firefox. I don't know if you have already tried these things, but if not, you can consult the manual for your version. I looked the other day, but don't know if yours is the same: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1006414#answer-592501

  • The pages won't load right not and error OSCP

    I'm having two issues probably related. The first is that Firefox is oddly loading some pages: e.g. addons.mozilla.org while in other browsers that they load fine. The second is that some pages not be loading not at all like the https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/storage/public-staging/3682/add_to_search_bar-2.2-fx.xpi which gives me this strange error
    "Secure connection failed".
    An error occurred during a connection to addons.cdn.mozilla.net. The OCSP response is not yet valid (contains a date in the future). (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_future_response)

     The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
       Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.". 
    

    Yet once again, I don't have this problem with other browsers - unless you count waterfox who has these same problems that probably should since it is built off the coast of firefox. I tried to uninstall and reinstall and clear the cache and cookies, none of this has had no effect. These two problems started at the same time. Seems to me to get the problem loading error on all XPI links, or at the very least, I saw, for instance, I had to grasp the info manually troubleshooting because when I clicked on the link to automatically add it got the same error (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/426841/addon-426841-latest.xpi) but it is not only get links that contains .xml files for example I first noticed the problem a similar site to the newsletter, I wish I could understand the name or even had my story, so I could find it. I don't know if the problem is limited to https or not because at the point where I had the addon https only and don't have it test the reinstallation. I looked in the settings of validation and the first 'use the OSCP to confirm the validity of the certificates' but the second one "when oscp server fails to treat the certificate as invalid has been unchecked. I unchecked the first box and I still don't have the same error that really baffles me.

    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.

  • Web sites won't load does not correctly and does not flash videos

    When I visit sites like jeuxvideo.com and joystiq.com, they displayed not correctly and never loading of Flash videos. I already uninstalled and reinstalled twice for version 9.0.1 without change. The second time I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to ensure that I got rid of all the registry entries and the residual files. Does anyone know if this is a recent bug? It started for me about noon yesterday...

  • Desktop won't load do not in normal mode

    Windows 7

    There are weeks that I posted a question about the inability of my Samsung laptop to load the office in Normal Mode.

    I have received many useful suggestions, for which I am extremely grateful, but nothing has worked.  The laptop comes with Windows 7 pre-installed, so I did not drive.  I don't have the foresight to create an ERD, and although I thought that I had set up the restore points, Windows might find no.

    CHKDSK reveals no problem, any more than Norton 360, Registry Reviver, renewing security or Driver Reviver.  ReImage trying to analysis of malware but gets stuck on one of the Norton 360 program *.dat files regularly. SCANNOW tells me I've corrupted or help the missing files that it cannot repair or replace, which is not optimal.

    I don't see any alternative but to back up the entire computer and re-install Windows and bought a Seagate external drive for this.  Do I need to buy additional software for a successful migration and restore.

    Are there tips to achieve this?  What guarantee is there only to restore the contents of the computer I do not re - import the problem?

    Other brilliant ideas out there?

    I don't see any alternative but to back up the entire computer and reinstall Windows

    -> Not "re-install" Windows. You must perform a destructive factory restore, using the hidden disk partition.

    Do I need to buy additional software for a successful migration and restore.

    ->, You can't "migrate" settings of your software and system. You will need to reinstall everything after the factory restore.

    Are there tips to achieve this?

    > I would use robocopy.exe to save profile on an external drive records. He will take care of the visible and hidden folders and does not further access problems. Post again if you need instructions.

    What guarantee is there only to restore the contents of the computer I do not re - import the problem?

    -> So that you restore your files from data only, there is no risk of re - import problem.
