[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 629279, member: 13090"] .NEF is the Nikon-proprietary raw format which, technically speaking, is not a digital image file like a JPG is. Raw files are data files that need to go through a raw converter before you can work with them as image files (read: photos). I'm guessing here but I think your iDevices are probably looking for photos, meaning image files with common extensions (such as .JPG, .GIF, .PNG etc.) and your .NEF files are simply being ignored because the extension is not recognized. Again because .NEF is not digital image format. You could probably move the .NEF files onto you iDevice as a data file, just as you would, say... a .PDF; but even then you'd still need a raw converter to be able to do anything meaningful with them, such as view them as photos.
