Hi
Last weekend, I used Migration Assistant to move from my old macbook pro to my new iMac.
Too late I came to this site and after the fact, read Victoria's instruction to load a fresh copy of LR 5.7, and then transfer photos from within LR.
I'm using OS 10.10.3, Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop 6 Extended.
My Lightroom photos, previews and ircat file are on an external HD.
I can open LR on my new iMac, and see my library structure including my RAW ORF files and their previews, but when I click to open I get the following message: "LR was unable to prepare the selected file at ..... for editing. It will not be opened."
This is true of all my ORF files.
My NEF files also will not open, and I get the same message as above.
TIF files also will not open either Edit Original or Edit a copy with LR Adjustments. I get a message that LR may require ACR 8.7 for full compatibility.
If I click on Render using LR , I get the same message "LR was unable to prepare the selected file at ..... for editing. It will not be opened." However, if I use Open Anyway, TIFF files will open in Photo shop.
LR says I'm up to date with updates.
In Photoshop 6, I checked updates and it shows I'm also up to date.
I checked my version of Adobe DNG Converter, and it is 8.7.1 which is what Adobe says I need.
I have also tried to open the same ORF files from Bridge and Photoshop, but have no success. I get a message from Photoshop 6 that I need to update my Camera Raw .
I also checked Adobe Application Manager and attempted an update but got "Update Failed".
I'm very confused because the same images will open on my old MacBook Pro.
So I believe Migration Assistant created an error..
Should I just uninstall both LR and Photoshop 6 or is there some other way I can fix this problem.
I'm moderately knowlegedable about LR, but I'm fully capable of big time screw ups.
Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
