SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

SD and Micro SD memory cards has a small slide switch on the edge of the card, which write protects data on the memory card or add photos to the SD card. Slide the switch from the LOCK position to the UNLOCK position, which is furthest away from the contacts.

Take everything back to Wal-Mart and try again.

Remove the write protection. SD/SDHC cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

Have you tried using an external card reader?

They look similar to this at Wal-Mart:

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.

There is a little lock on the side of the card, unlock it.

This camera only supports an SD card of 1GB maximum. I tried a 2GB SD card and the camera reported the error you describe, that the card needs to be formatted (and it wouldn't format in the camera, either). I purchased a 1GB Duracell SD card P/N DU-SD-1024-C at Wal-Mart, and it was actually a 2GB card (tested in my desktop PC's SD slot and it was fine). Nice deal, but this camera can't use it. I bought a 3-pack of Kodak 1GB SD cards at Wal-Mart and they worked great in this camera.

This camera takes a differnt memory card then the common SD CARD! Wal-mart will have the right card for you or most other stores that sell cameras!That should eix ya right up!

That camera has a SD card slot. I would ignore the internal 16MB of memory and use a SD card. (512's are really cheap)

The SD card can then be removed and placed into a SD to USB reader. ($10-15 range) When you use one of these it makes the SD card into another disk drive -- so you can then just copy or move the files to your HD and do with then anything you would do with any other jpg or video file. You can also carry multiple SD's and have extra digital "film" available to take more pictures. You can also take these SD cards to just about any Wal-Mart, Walgreens, or CVS and make real prints for about .20 a piece.
