upload photos from iPhoto to CF card in camera

I'd like to upload phptos from my Powermac G4 to a compact flash card in my DSLR. My Mac recognizes the camera as a drive, and I can drag jpeg files into the camera drive, but they don't show up on the card in the camera. When I open the camera drive in the Mac, the photos are there, but not in the camera. Very frustrating. Cab anyone help?.

It is recommended to use a card reader.

It's probably necessary to recreate the folder structure that the camera creates on the Card. It won't see photos just on the top level, but needs them to be in specific places.

I just bought a card reader, and have the same scenario. When the card is in the camera with files on it, the camera still reports "no images".

Sounds like an interesting solution, but I have no idea how to implement your suggestion. I'd certainly appreciate your help. By the way, I took someone elses suggestion of using a card reader. Tried this to no avail. Even though the reader put the images on the card, the camera didn't recognize that they were there.

Thanks,

John

Take a shot with the camera, confirm that the camera can see it. Then, navigating via the Finder, see in which folder the shot is, put your shots in to the same folder. It may be necessary to restart the camera to force it to recognise the shots.
