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.

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
