Images not importing correctly into Mac from digital camera
 

When I try to import pictures from my digital camera into my Mac the
pictures do not import correctly MOST of the time. The pictures come out
horizontally banded with the top band being OK, the rest of the bands are
color skewed and shifted a bit to the right or left. Each time I re-import
the picture the corruption is different. Sometimes the FIRST import of a
picture is OK, but on subsequent imports the picture is garbled. This is a
relatively new problem as it was working correctly in the past.

The problem occurs if I import into iPhoto either using my USB card reader
or the camera directly connected to the computer. It also happens if I don't
use IPhoto and let the memory stick mount as a drive.

I do not have this problem when using the exact same hardware and memory and
import to my PC. I have replaced all cables & reader and have the same
problem. It happens with ALL of my memory sticks (I have even reformatted a
few of them).


Running OS 10.3.9 on a G5 with all the Apple updates.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You would have better luck by asking your question in a Mac newsgroup.

What is the resolution of the pics. I ask because I have seen that on some
systems with high megapixel resolution some image viewers can't handle it.

The pics are 3 megapixel. Everything was working fine at the resolution in
the past.


BTW: I have posted in some Mac groups but have not gotten any answers.
