Hi All,

I've been running into an issue when uploading photos to my Air with iPhoto - It seems that the files are transferred and captured on my SD card just fine, and also preview fine in iPhoto, however, when I upload them they view corrupted and disoriented. Has this ever happened to anyone?

Please note that I just recently purchased a new SD card the other day in the event that my old one had an issue.

A few thoughts, may help -- or be of no help at all...

Have you tried opening the photos in an app -other than- iPhoto?
Something like Picasa, Graphic Converter, Preview, etc.?
Same results?

You mentioned "SD card", that is what's in the camera, correct?
Would you consider spending about $10, and buying a USB card reader?
Then, take the card out of the camera, insert into card reader, connect to Mac, and copy over pics that way?

As a last resort, have you considered re-initializing the SD card (in the camera)?

Thank you for the reply, it is of great help. I actually have not thought of buying a reader, opening them in a separate app OR re-initializing :eek: Looks like I have a list of things to do tonight!
