Well this is what I have discovered. I checked that the file extension was showing and I found that I could import via the file import and drag and drop if the extension was .jpg but not if it was .jpeg. Also even if I have the extension showing under OS X it doesn't show up in Windows, though this doesn't affect the importing. Anyway I'm underway again which is cool.
