I just tried importing a .NEF file and it worked fine.Does the new Photo App in OS X Yosemite allow importing of Raw & JPEG images from the D7200. Looking to up date my MacBook Pro that currently has iPhoto. While I am posting here will my Macbook Pro work okay and don't slow down alot, see image of my system. Thanks to all for any help.View attachment 179589
I'd recommend against it. I have a Core i5 machine, though a slower clock speed than yours, with 8 GB of RAM, and frankly it's so slow for rendering pictures that it's practically unusable. Things went south when I upgraded to Mavericks (10.9) from Snow Leopard (10.6) - apparently at some point in there they went full 64 bit and my laptop struggles with it for whatever reason.
Every time someone mentions Photo, I look at it... and just shake my head, and thank my lucky stars that there are 50 photo editing programs that make Photo unnecessary...
I was pretty certain that the i5 was always a 64-bit processor. I know my old 2009 MacBook pro with the Core2Duo processor was only 32-bit, but I would have sworn it was the C2D to i3/i5/i7 migration where the hardware went 64-bit. That said, I'm not a hardware guy (I just network these things together), so I could well be wrong.
I'm sorry - I just realized I wasn't clear in my answer. At some point between Snow Leopard and Mavericks, Apple removed the 32-bit code from the OS and it's fully 64 bit now, at least according to what I read when I was researching the issue. The processor is 64 bit. I know, it should work fine, but it really doesn't.
I'm just guessing the 64 bit code is the problem, but I've tried everything else, including a format and installing a fresh copy of OS X, and I haven't had any luck fixing the issue.
