this may seem a stupid question but would this type of card work with an ipad?
I have been taking and editing more and more pics from my iphone on my ipad and have often thought it would be good to do some from my K5 better still if i could review on a large screen when out and about. Even better still if I could tether to control my K5. Guessing these cards wouldn't do that tho.

LOL

I'm guessing theose little plastic bags can be left at home too.

I like your last one best also saw as I scrolled that the planks make a good image on their own.

I hate hearing how rude people can be and feel for the people been rude to. Years ago I was a morris dancer and our costumes (painted faces colourful rags and decorated hats) always attracted alot of photographers and people with camcorders. As street performers we expected and relished the attention but wouldn't put up with rudness. We were cheeky ourselves if anyone wanted us pose we would rattle our collection tin under their nose first. Perhaps because their was a big group of us and we all had big sticks meant we didn't get much trouble.
Even if people dress up and want to be photographed is no excuse for rudness and aggression.

I had tried other files and the wrote on there ok. Had also tried moving the lock button tried in both positions no joy. S0 decided to try that again this time moved the button down only to realise the case is loose and the button flew off and got lost in the carpet pile. I'm wondering if its been the case that has been damaged all the time and so contacts not conectint firmly in camera.
Thanks again everyone for your help at least a lesson has been learnt going to be more carefull putting cards in and out of lappy or card reader.

Thanks Algernon I have tried that now but card still not working.
Have had the card just over year since I got my K5 so perhaps to long to replace but its worth a try. I have another identical card so good to hear problems are rare with them. A card failure has always been a worry so 8g is as big as I'll buy (used to just use 4g but bigger camera files now) less images to loose. Was lucky this time as had already copied the files to lappy but even so is only the camera not seeing it and the files were safe.

Thanks Steven I'm guessing that has been the cause. I have always done that removing hard drives and other USB devices but not cards for some reason that hadn't occured to me guess its obviouse really.
I did a deep format of the card camera still doesn't see it. Even tried copy the contents of a working card to it but still no joy (i'm sure thats not the correct way to rebuild directory lol)
I'm going to abandon that card and replace and be more careful in removal in future.
Thanks for your help Guys.
Is it ok to format cards in camera each time or should I just delete images? I dont swope cards between cameras but the spare is sometimes used in K5 or Q I format then though.

I did try that but left quick format ticked was unsure at the time will see if I can do again
Thanks Gamka

Thanks Steven I manage to get the data of the card from card reader. Just hadn't deleted what was on there. Was wondering If I had caused the card to fail by the way I use it.
Or would I be able in some way to make it readable on the camera or should I just bin it. I have 2 of these cards so abit worried that will go the same way. My third card is a sandisc which is the brand I used when I was using compact flash cards, so perhaps I'll replace both and get Sandisc.
Thanks for your help Steven.

At the moment I only have 3 SD cards and since I got my Q it means I only have 1 spare. (I know I need more). For some reason the K5 decided not to recognise one yesterday. Had the Q with me so tried in that didn't want to know either so I put a differant card in and it was fine.
What I usually do is take the images of each card after I use it through a card reader I copy them to lappy and then format again in the camera. Was wondering if this was the wrong thing to do. Any way tis card still had images on it as I hadn't formated it. So tried in reader and the images where still seen by lappy.
Is there any way to get the camera to recognise it again (says no card in camera) or shall I just bin it?

Card is Lexar Professional 8gb 133x speed.
