You most likely will need a different card to be compatible with your MacBook pro. Apple website should be helpful.

You can try using a file recovery software like Bad Copy Pro 4.10.125. It works well for me.

You need to insert your compact flash memory card into an USB CF card reader then plug the card reader into the USB port of your computer. Your computer will detect it as an external storage device then you can open the image folder and copy the photos to your computer.

The memory card you are trying to use in the camera is not supported. This camera is an older technology that can not recognize the large 8 GB memory capacity of the card. In fact, the largest approved card your camera will recognize is 1 GB.

The list of approved memory cards was obtained from the Nikon Site directly, and pasted below for your convenience.

Nikon has tested the following cards and approved their use in the Coolpix 5700:

CompactFlash memory cards:
SanDisk SDCFB series 16 MB, 32 MB, 48 MB, 64 MB, 96 MB, and 128 MB

#1
Insert your memory card into your computer's reader if you have one. If not, you can purchase a multi-format USB Memory Card reader from Amazon.com or Buy.com
#2
Open up 'My Computer'. You should see it under the list of available drives.
#3
Check its contents first to make sure that you have the right drive.
#4
In 'My Computer', right-click on the drive and choose 'Format'.
#5
Leave all the options as they are and click on 'Start'. This is a non-reversible process so make sure this is what you truly wanted to do in the first place.
#6
Once the process is completed, take the memory card out and insert it into your Digital Camera or any other device. Try to browse to it to make sure it works fine now.

With A USB , CELLPHONE , Camera The SameThing

The solution was sooo easy.....one of my online embroidery groups suggested to put the card in my Janome and let the machine format it. It took about a minute and did not tell me what it was doing..and It worked! It put two folders on my card, Emb5 and ord#5, and I was to copy the jef files into the Emb5 folder, which I did and bingo! my Janome 9500 read the card and produced a screen with my jef files in it. I am a happy camper....I don't know if this works with all Janome machines but it did with mine.
Thanks for being here to help.

Instead of connecting via the camera, just use a USB card reader and put the CF card in that.

Honestly, it is most likely a defective memory card or not compatible with your camera. Sorry.

just insert you compact flash card into your card reader and let windows to show under my computer.when you see your flash card under my computer ,enter into your cd and select the pictures files you want to copy to the flash card.Now right click you will see a pop up box ,select sendto > ,now under sendto option you will see your flash drive,just select it and your files will get copy to flash drive.

if you are unable to perform these steps just select the photo files and right click ,then select copy.Now goto your flash drive ,double click on it to open it.Now right click and select paste........that's it. your files will get copy to flash drive.
