After you re-formatted the card did you take a picture and see if iphoto is able to import a picture.

Are you ejecting the card in the proper way meaning by dragging the disk icon to the trash or letting iphoto eject the card.

Always delete your photos by using the camera delete all option, not by using the computer (iphoto).

Sorry to not let everyone know what the problem was. It was a bad card!
A NEW Sony card sold to me by a yet to be named online company.
(We'll see if they come through with refunds before I trash them here).
I spent $48 trying to recover my photos (about 150 of 400 could be recovered)
and I'm trying to have that recovery charge refunded as well as the purchase
price of the card. Needless to say it's hard to put a price on my lost photos.
(A week's worth of photos from Washington D.C. and the Udvar-Hazy
facility of the National Air and Space Museum.)

I have since purchased a new SanDisc card and it seems to be working OK.
Thanks for everyone's help, particularly that of Heyoko Happiness. Bickwiz

Oop, sorry, Heyoka Happiness to have misspelled your name, Bickwiz

If you don't have it already, get a good recovery program such as Photo Rescue.

It's only $30 and will save you time and time again. Because it's not a question of if a disk will fail on you it's when and how important are those images you have to recover.

Hey, thanks! Will do that. Have you looked at my latest post re: photos in a slideshow in IPhoto reversing their order?
Any hints? Thanks again, Bickwiz

The link you refer to for RAW doesn't have Canon .. the most popular DSLR along with the Nilkon. I have Canon EOS XSi and have to use Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop element 6. Anyone have better idea??

The last post from "n781lc" has me confused. My question was regarding a Sony a200 and I wanted to import
my photos right into iPhoto. Also "dcpics" will Photo Rescue help a person if the card is bad to begin with?
Thanks, Bickwiz

Bickwiz, I wasn't replying to your post.. sorry if I may have hit the wrong button. My problem has been with a Canon xsi using RAW although iPhoto supports some "RAW.". Adobe came to the rescue with Cameraraw 4.4.1 for OS 10.5, Lightroom and Photoshop Elements 6. Never tried Aperture but after switching to iWork '08 and finding it a poor substitute for MS Office I'm leery of Apple software other than the OS

Image Capture should be located in your Applications Folder. Otherwise try using a card reader to get the photos to a folder on the HD first and then go from there into iPhoto.

I have problems too with unreadable files in iPhoto.

I have a KonicaMinolta 7i, bought 5 years ago, using Compact Flash cards. I have loaded my JPEGs easily into my old pc.using a cardreader. I bought my iMac 20 a few months ago. From the start it worked with importing photos but suddenly the files were unreadable, coludn´t be imported. I had formatted the card in the camera just before. I could go via the card-icon and see the pictures but they could not be dragged over to a new folder. File specifications were not recognised.

What´s wrong? How do I analyse?
