Trouble transferring photos to my laptop.

I actually have an S5000 but didn't see that as an option. I use a USB cable to connect the camera to my HP laptop. Usually what happens is it gets stuck after transferring maybe 15% of the photos, I have to cancel, unplug, and start back up again where it left off. It has gotten progressively worse and now sometimes crashes my computer when I try to cancel the transfer. Any ideas what could be happening?

    Yeah I thought that might be the response. My laptop does not have a built-in card reader so I suppose I will look into getting an external card reader. Had been hoping to avoid that but oh well! Thank you.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

The camera's memory will appear as a disk drive in "My Computer" (Windows). You will find your images as files in a directory on that drive. I don't know about connecting to a TV- presumably it has a USB socket, so I imagine that it will access the camera as a disk drive as well. You will need to read your TV manual to discover how that works. Possibly you press the play button to get a menu onscreen, or the USB button if there is one.

This type of problem is probably software related, but it could be some sort of incompatibility issue.
What you can try to do to get the pictures downloaded, is to get a card reader, hook it up to your usb port, and access them through the the DCIM folder, that is standard on cards. Just create a folder on your desktop, or elsewhere, and select them all, and right click on them and select MOVE. This will transfer the pictures and erase them at the same time from your camera.
You can get a card reader at Walmart, Best Buy, or most any compute shop.
Good luck, and hope this helps.

Sharon,

When you launched the FinePix Viewer, go to "Settings", and then move your cursor down to "Way of Saving", tick the "Make Folder" by "Date", and then click "Browse" to identify the drive partition/folder to save your photos.
After that, click the icon with the symbol of the "camera to folder" on your top right corner, to upload your photos to your computer.

SOURCE: how do i transfer photos onto my computer using a

If you haven't installed the image software that came with the camera, the operating system should nevertheless recognize the camera once you connect it to the computer. Typically, the internal and/or removable memory cards in the camera will show up as a separate drive on the computer. To transfer the photos, simply drag and drop or cut/copy and paste the image files from the memory card's folder to your designated image folder on your computer.

Hope this helps!

After connecting it to laptop the phone memory card will be displayed in a window & windows explorer after detecting it by the laptop as pen-drive.

What usb device do I need to take photos into pc

Your Model of digital camera supports usb connectivity.
If your manufacture has provided you USB cable at the time of purchase, You can connect the camera to the PC and transfer your photos easily to the pc.

If your manufacturer has not provided you the USB cable you need to buy the compatible USB cable for PC connectivity from the store.

There is one more alternate option, You can also buy a "Memory card Reader" By using this you can also transfer the photos stored in the memory card to the PC.

I suggest you to use the USB cable.

I am sure this information was helpful.
