Down loading my camera will not download pictures from it to the computer. The camera had two of its screws fall out, i am not sure if that is causing the problem or not.when I try to down load the pictures it says an error has occured. how do I fix the problem?

How are you trying to download your pictures?
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 ( http://picasa.google.com ).

To download the pictures you need the driver for the camera ...this can be downloaded from the support site if you do not have it ..but from what you said it seam that the issue may be of other cause..
The camera need to be powered and on ..in the moment you connect it to the computer ..and also you need to confirm the pc connection from the camera in the moment you connect ti .make sure you have its driver installed .
Try to connect in a different usb port ..cause even if the driver is missing the computer should react on the usb device being plugged and ask for the driver.
If no port will react ..try the camera oin another computer ..and like I said always make sure it is powered and on ... If it makes no reaction in another computer ..than something is wrong with the camera .Another method to download the pictures..is to use the card from the camera directly into a card reader and copy the pictures from it ..
here is a link for the driver if you need it ..

this is teh picture browser it uses...be sure you select the operation system you run ..and also make sure you download the full program first and the upgrade after ..cause the update download may not work without the original one ..(down on the list ) ..
Good luck !

You didn't specify the make and model of your camera, but I'll assume it uses a memory card of some type.

Hi,please follow the steps given below;
1.Install on your computer the software that came with your digital camera
2.Connect your camera to your computer using the USB cable that came with your camera. You must have a USB port to download pictures to your computer.
3.Choose the folder where you want your pictures downloaded. The computer will choose the "My Pictures" folder by default unless you want them in a different folder.
4.Preview the pictures. You can delete any you don't like or want. Make sure to delete them off your camera as well or the next time you download that picture will downloaded again.
5.Select a picture and print. Some software will let you put borders and cute sayings on your pictures. Have fun with it.
Take care

Use a separate card reader to download your pictures.

From the link above , you could down load the driver for Apple mac. Once you download and install the driver on your computer. you restart it.

You can now connect your computer by the USB cord and download the picture.
I hope the above can help.
There is a good review of F50 on the link below, I am sure it will also help.

Also try the camera and card in another computer.

download your pictures like a normal file. connect camera to your computer and save it like normal files.

What do you actually see? There is normally a folder displayed and you might have to click on it & some sub folders to get to your pics. Look at the folder via Explore - Right mouse select the start button, the select Explore. You should see the camera's drive towards the bottom of the directory structure. Hope it helps. Rgds,

Make sure the camera is set to upload.
If the compter knows it is there- this must mean the camera is not set to upload.
