Hi all,

Bit stuck, my mac wont read my D70 if put it into mass storage and PTP with no luck. The D70 on the LCD on the top tells me its in PC mode.

If anyone could help me that would be fantastic!
 
I've had this and i racked my brains until I looked at the CF card and noticed that a pin had mis-aligned in the card slot and one of the holes in the card was opened up more than usual. Card ruined

From Pat's experience, it sounds a bit like there's a broken pin in your D70's card slot. I think it should be repairable - maybe someone can tell you a rough price and where to get it fixed. I have read good reports about Fixation but have never needed to use their services so can't recommend them from personal experience. Of course, Nikon also do their own repairs but aren't the cheapest!

It could be a broken pin as Nod say - look in the card chamber (is the D70 compact flash, I've never used this camera?) and you'll see if a pin is broken or bent.

My own experience on my D2x was a pin not quite fitting in a hole 'true' and it would end up opening the hole on a CF card even further. No broken or bent pin but a knackered card.happened three times
 
Problem FIXED
​

Found the way to fix the problem, the camera was shooting RAW, switch to JPG no problem, the PC/MAC reads the camera...

To get RAW use a CF Card!
