Blinking Green Light - cannot upload - dammit
Hi All,
I'm on a tough deadline for a project and have now found a flashing green light next to the memory card slot area.
I cannot upload nor will my Mac detect that the D3 is hooked up to my laptop.
Does anyone know what this means???? Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah

Can you see the card if it is removed from the camera and put in a reader?

If you can see the card in the reader, then the card is still good and we need to trouble shoot down the line. I would try a different cord from the computer to the camera, to eliminate a bad cord. If that doesnt do it, then I would do a card and battery pull on the body. Leave it for 10 to 15 seconds and reinsert, and try again. If that doesnt fix it, I would suspect a problem in the body.

I would do the battery and card pull. I had this with my D3100 once, after inserting my card. The pull cleared it up.

Re: Blinking Green Light - cannot upload - dammit
Did you copy and paste or cut and paste? Do you have some of the photos locked?

no, i did not do anything. i'm just doing a basic upload through iPhoto.
i have not locked anything. strange. i'm trying all sorts of things. i'm going to try to manually pull them off the card right now. give me a minute.

Ok. I have never used a Mac, so I can not help with software issues.
