Help! All of a sudden, I am unable to transfer photos from my Nikon D40x into the Nikon Picture Perfect software. It detects my memory card, but none of the photos on it. I've never had this problem before. What can I do?
How are you transferring the photos? Are you using a cable, or a card reader? If you are using a cable then most likely the cable went bad. I have a D-1 and a D-2, and I never use the firewire cable. I put the CF cards into a card reader. If you are not using a card reader then try that. You can get a decent one from E-Film or from most any computer store.
One more step to try, did you format the card in the camera when you first loaded the card in? On my cameras you need to format that card to have them work with the camera.

Thanks so much for your reply with embedded links. For some reason, I tried it again a day or two later, and the transfer worked fine, just as it has each time before. Very weird, but I'm thankful it worked! I'm not sure the cable was the problem, b/c I could go to My Computer and then find the camera and see the photos that way; I just couldn't get them to transfer into Picture Project (the Nikon photo editing software), and really wanted them there so I could edit them. At any rate, it works now, thankfully, but thanks for the tip about the card reader. I'll look into purchasing one of those to use instead. Thanks again!
