Kodak Z740 all of a sudden wont import jpeg images to iphoto. Camera communicates with iphoto and will show photo info, but then an error code says it cant read the format and lists jpeg. I know its a camera issue, as I have done multiple things to confirm that. I can get the pics off the memory card with an external reader, but I want to know why my camera will not transfer the jpeg images on the card and the internal memory to my computer, so I can decide whether keeping the camera and buying an external reader is worth it or just getting a new camera. I love this camera, so I really want to keep it.

to try if the flash is working..

*Turn off the camera.
*Install a set of new or fully charged batteries into the camera.
*Turn on the camera.
*Press the Flash Status button to scroll through the flash options until Fill Flash (the lightning bolt icon alone, with no other letter or symbol) is displayed. This forces the camera to use the flash.

I own a mac and always use an external usb card reader to download my pics and it works great. Also, I know that you need to get your pics off first, but you may need to reformat you card at some point so that it will read faster and work quicker in your camera.

For your software issue, have you tried download the software from kodak's website? The program shouldn't cause your apple to crash. I would try re-installing it from there website.

Create a folder on your desktop and download the pics to that. It usually works. If it doesn't, find a store (like Walmart) that has a Kodak picture maker machine. It will read all the pictures on your card.
