Just a thought, have you used the camera to reformat the cards? Or are they the default format settings, I had a problem once where I thought I would be clever and formatted my cards and then changed the directory structure on the card, not so clever!

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.
