Canon 50d producing "unreadable files"

[iAstonish]

Anyone know what the deal is here? I've had the camera for about a week and the first batch of photos uploaded fine, but not I am having a problem. I am using a Lexar Platinum 4gb CF card and uploading on a macbook to iPhoto.

Any ideas?

Make sure your Mac can read the files. I have never had this trouble with my Canon 50D, though I did have it with my old Nikon. D40 worked perfect then upgraded to the D90 and it could not read it all of a sudden. Turned out I needed to download a patch as Nikon changed it's format between the D40 and D90. I don't know the spacific but coused me two weeks or so of problems after I went broke buying it. thanks a lot Nikon.

You might record the solution here. It might help someone else out. (if they use the seldome accessed forum search feature that is.)

I would be interested in knowing how you fixed it

Well the camera actually was put in RAW and I must have forgot to put it back. For RAW files there are a number of updates or add-ons for multiple editing programs that often need to be installed.

iPhoto update: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.0
