Problem with the K-5 handling SDXC cards

When the Sandisk extreme pro 64Gb was announced, I read the appropriate threads, and after checking my firmware, V1.13, bought one, and a 32Gb for just in case. I formatted it in my K5, took a few shots (raw + jpeg), including a Superb Parrot which don't usually appear until about mid december, on my morning walk. I wanted to broadcast my Superb Parrot shot, so I transferred the card to my new Sandisk Imagemate all-in-one card reader but was unsuccessful in downloading it's contents to my pc with xp os. I am sure I followed the appropriate procedure for safely removing hardware, as I lost a card a few years ago by removing it without following correct procedure, however, when I put it in the camera, the card needed to be formatted, and all images were lost from the card. Fortunately I was able to recover all but the last raw image.
I reformatted the card, took more images, deleted some, looked at all of them in camera - with some zooming - and all was good.
My attempt to download the images to my pc using Silkypix were unsuccessful as the programme wouldn't recognize my camera. I then tried the card reader, but my pc wanted to format the card.
I put the card back in the camera and was very relieved to find all images were intact. However, I was frustrated with my inability to do anything with them. In desperation I put the card in my Asus tablet, running Android 4.0.3, and was able to copy it to the ssd and then from that to a usb stick which was then quite happily read by my pc.
So now I can access my images out of the camera, but it is not straightforward. I just noticed that I am running Silkypix 4.30, so will update that to v4.35 and see if there is any improvement, although card issues aren't mentioned.

Thanks for the welcome.
Re LBA, it's not a problem, after I get a macro lens I think I'll be right. :D

I have just registered after being an avid viewer for about a year.
My first camera, in 1968, was a Spotmatic with a 50 1.8 lens. I acquired second hand, a cheap 400 & an even cheaper 135 which were ok.
I bought a Ricoh p&s a few years ago, and was impressed for a while. I upgraded to a Canon SX1is, which impressed me because of the telephoto range, but mostly because of the image stabilisation. I am mostly interested in birds. I had a few problems focussing on the bird rather than the tree it was sitting in. On one outing, near O'Reillys in the Lamington National Park at the back of the Gold Coast, I came across a few birds which I was able to shoot from about 4 foot. Unfortunately not one frame was usable as they were all blurry. I then decided to upgrade to a dslr.
I quickly decided on a K-5. I spent many hours poring over the lens reviews trying to decide on kit. I now have in order of purchase: da 40 f2.8, da 300 f4, da 50-135 f2.8, da 12-24 f4. The 300 stays on the camera for my daily walk around the reserve - Mt Rogers in Canberra - near my house.
I try not to think of more lenses, but it is hard.....
