Well, this news came like a slap in the head. It's such a long thread now and I can't remember if...
But, have you contacted Canon about this - or anything you've read indicate this?
Am(quite confused).

CC, Image editing OK.
Hi Am.......contacting Canon is high on my to do list at the moment!
I am also totally confused
LOL!
I saw the additional posts into this thread thinking, aha! .... it's been sorted.
But instead the plot thickened .. just like my kid's favourite dinner(chicken curry).
Interesting.

Mads Barnkob said... I have had great trouble copying the files from the CF/SD card through USB cable to my PC. It would constantly loose connection to the PC. Turns out it was caused by having both CF and SD card in at once, pulled the SD card out and no longer any problems.

You might find this is part of the problem you described. Of course I could just be howling at the moon.
Also updating this old thread ......I never resolved the issue of uploading files from my 'new' 5diii which is 18 months old now, and for last year or so have been taking the CF card out of my 5diii and putting it into my 7d and uploading the files to my computer (slow and frustrating).......Well I randomly decided to try uploading direct from my 5diii on the weekend and it worked!!!!The photos all uploaded from my 5diii no problemso bizarre as I tried just about everything suggested to me here and haven't done anything different..........................SO RANDOM!!!!!

Karen, do you have any USB3 ports on your computer? If so, get a USB3 card reader.
I have one branded "Amber". Chuck the CF card into that and that into the USB3 port.
Lightning fast!! Eg: reading about 11 raws using USB2, about a couple of minutes; the same
as describe with USB3, about 30 seconds.
They cost about $20.
Am.
PS: Don't bovver buying a PCI-E - to - USB3 card. I wasted $15 on one and it made no differnce.
