[Leica] M9 - problem with image transfer

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

Sandy,
it's possible that your card reader doesn't work with the SD card, 
especially if the card is a newer SDHC type and the reader is fairly old.
I have a card reader that refuses to read SDHC cards and another (a 
Sandisk) which will read anything I throw at it.  I also had the same 
problem with my Jobo Gigaview portable HDD - it reads non SDHC cards, 
but not newer ones.

Thankfully, card readers aren't too expensive and it might be worth 
getting a new one to see if that fixes your problem.

I hope you resolve the problem soon - I can imagine how frustrating it 
is to have a new camera (especially an M9!) and not be able to see the 
images.

HTH
