Thanks Ronni and Alan,
I have tried it with the card reader also. As soon as the connector is inserted the "unsupported" message comes up. The photo application does not launch as you suggest Ronni. No Camera button appears. Perhaps my connector is faulty. I will take it to the Apple shop in Nedlands this morning to have that checked.
