OS 10.9.5 Supposedly, ALL my updates are current when I checked yesterday.
I'm downloading direct to my Laptop HD via card reader before importing to Lightroom 5.
Joe, the body & 70-210MM Minolta lens have been sold. Still have the Tamron 16-50MM lens and that really extraordinary Model 43 Sony Flash that I've yet to list, but plan to do so this afternoon.
Just took possession of Nikon D700 and card reader when connected to MacPro Laptop doesn't read anything from the D700. Tried 3 different cards (32G, 18G & 8G), and two different readers. In test with my backup Nikon D300, everything working normally.
I reformat all cards after each assignment, for what it's worth.
Am I overlooking something so obvious it escapes me? Have never experienced this before. Your advice/observations would be valued in that I've a photo assignment today. Thanks.
Joe, since I'd communicated with you, I've had another interested party show interest in the Sony package, but feel since you were first to inquire, I owe it to you to give you a heads up.
Don't know whether you're interested in just the A77 camera, the entire package which you inquired about, or just select items. But wanted to let you know there is some interest from another "Hog". By the way, price of the entire package as described to you in my earlier PM is $1300 plus shipping. Jim
Actually I've the Tamron 16-50MM 2.8 lens, a Minolta 70-210MM Zoom and a virtually brand new Sony HV43 Flash, along with UV protective lens on both lens and lens hoods, two 18 gig cards, battery charger and two batteries. Would love to make a package deal for the entire package. Everything is pristine, even the
vintage Minolta lens...which has workman ship as good or better than what they are putting together today.....Everything checks out and working super. I'm moving to full frame which is why I'm getting rid of this entire system. Jim
Moved up to full frame. This A77, with under 5000 actuations had been used as a backup, but that didn't happen often. Absolutely like new, pristine condition. No picture cause you know what it looks like. Too many features to list, besides you guys know the specs and reputation. This great camera with 24 megapixels is yours for $625 plus shipping.
When card reader is plugged into computer, red light comes on, then blue light showing card is being read. Then when going to Import function in LR, that's when I encountered ghosting. However, now that function seem to be working OK after shutting everything down, but after previewing shots in Lightroom and I hit "insert", the indicator bar at the top left hand page in Library function goes about half-way across and then freezes. Have started all over from scratch two or three times, and same thing happens. Frozen at halfway. I'm puzzled. Thinking maybe I should not be importing direct to LR but use another method, then transfer into LR???????
Inserted card into reader, plugged into MacBook Pro and went to "File" in LR5 and "Import Photo" option is ghosted out, not allowing me to import new batch of photos for cataloging and editing. Any one had this problem, and if so, what's solution?
Thanks.

It should say what speed cards it is designed for. Don't buy one at the Dollar Store. Go directly to the website of SanDisk or Lexar or Kensington and order a reader from them.
Will do. Thanks for the advice

Try the reader again. A couple of times Lightroom wouldn't my card, but elements did so it wasn't the card reader.I also buy Lexar cards and sometimes SanDisk.
Thanks for the tip. Will try again. Usually, I'm a Lexar card guy, but saw an attractive deal on the Kensington and it was quite highly rated by one of the rating services, so gave it a try. It appears that the card is thankfully not defective, but some other factors are evidently coming into play. Thanks for the comeback!

Some readers show the speed they can handle.
Looks like I'll be doing some "card reader shopping" before my assignment next week.

Dumb questions.
Did you format the card in the camera before you took pictures?
Can you review the pictures "in camera"?
It is possible that it is a bad card.....
Card formatted, could review on camera and send to LR5 from cameras, so card seems to be OK.

I run larger cards, its not that. You can test it, by plugging your camera into your computer see if it pulls images from the card.
Another thing to consider is the speed of the card. I have an older card reader that will not read newer cards where my newer card reader does.
Was able to pull pix through camera, so card seems to be OK.
Your observation on old card reader just might be the solution, but what parameters will be required in a newer reader?
I'm able to read pictures on the card, and I've been able to connect the camera and import the pics to LR5, so I don't think the card is defective. I'm beginning to think that maybe I've got old readers that can't handle the speedier cards. Thanks for you comeback!
