MBP does not recognize picture format!

How old is you 13"?

There should be no problem opening up JPG files on a mac. I do know that iPhoto will open the file type.

Have you tried navigating through Finder and opening the files?

 

Try opening them in Windows. You may have broken files or storage card.

It sounds like it's not the file types that is the problem but the camera not being recognized is the issue. Go to the web site for your camera and see if it says anything about using it on a mac. It may have to do with how you are hooking it up to your Mac or how the storage on the camera is formatted.

 

As mentioned, I'd ensure you have loaded the appropriate software on your Mac from the camera vendor.

Also you're not trying to put a memory stick into the SD card slot, are you? I don't believe that'd work either.

 

technically you shouldnt on a mac. what a PC does is it downloads it from the net when it recognizes the camera and the USB, a Mac comes with various drivers for various external peripherals, so that is why. what i suggest, as has been suggested before is go to sony's driver site:

now i tried a couple of random camera, such as the TX9, and there are no driver for Mac, which is quite weird.

what i suggest is you buy a memory stick reader, as this is the best solution (if everything else fails).

if you have a local electronic store, radio shack, fry's, bestbuy, etc. than go there too. they should be pretty cheap and under $20

for example you can go to the Dallas Staples store (if its nearby..) they have some:

and im sure you leave near a walmart (after all, walmart is like everywhere )

be sure ot check it out in stores first so you know you are actually getting the product you need (ie. memory stick reader)
