I am getting to suspect your Computer is the problem... either a SW or a HW
issue, most likely SW.

Can you get to another computer and try it all over again?

A lot of us have updated with no problems...a s you are having an issue
directly with both the M8 AND M9 in terms of using a image transfer by card,
I again think it is a computer issue.

One additional question.... and I am not a Mac user.....  YOU said you also
have some model of Canon camera.  Can you read THOSE image files on this
computer?

Lastly... have you ever tried to save some file ( makes no difference what,
except not an image file, say  a file from a word processor) to your card
from inside some application?  Does THAT work to both save it and read it
back?

The 512MB card is a SD ( NOT HC) card, and should work in any reader.

More lastly.. try a new card... it may be that this particular SDHC card is
having a problem all by itself...and making us think it is some other
fault....  YOU can format the card in the computer, but format it again in
the M8.

More and more lastly,.... someone suggested that your memory card is in the
locked position.... have you checked that?

Most problems are understandable... if you look in the right place.....

The problem is to find the place-.....

Hi again, Frank,

going through your reply again, I finally got the 514MB card to mount on my
Mac after hitting Reset on the M8, turning off the camera, and putting the
card in a reader.  (This process still does not work for me with either of
the SDHC cards.)

Then, I follow Leica's instructions and drag the unzipped (my Mac
automatically unzips this file) m8-2_014.upd file to the mounted disk, i.e.
the M8 formatted 514MB SD card.  However, a Finder message pops up saying:

The item "m8-2_014.upd" could not be moved because "NO NAME" could not be
modified.

NO NAME is the disk (card) name.

Any ideas what to try now?

Peter
