My Canon IXUS 980 IS is not being recognised properly by my computer, meaning I can't download images from it. When I run the software that came with the camera, it cannot detect the IXUS. When I open it using My Computer and double clicking on the camera icon (which shows up fine) it tells me that the camera is in use. Please help!

Use a memory card stick, and a generic USB memory card reader. Using a cord that needs a driver, is an unneeded hassle.

If you mean the IXUS 980 IS, that camera is called the SD990 in some parts of the world. You can download the SD990 manual from

How to copy older IXUS100 images from the desktop to the IXUS100

In theory a card reader should enable you to see SD card as a drive.
You should also be able to see the card as a drive if you connect your IXUS to the computer-then you'll be able to copy the images back onto the card.
Good luck,
Raf
