Kodak m1063 do I need a camera dock to download pictures ?

go to their website and select your region and operating system http://support.kodak.com/app/intfSel/intf_redirect/L2FwcC9hbnN3ZXJzL2xpc3QvcC8yLDI4LDI1NC9vcmlnX2ludGYva29kYWtfYjJjX2Vu

No. 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. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

Having received no response in over a month, I assume my suggestion about using a card reader helped.

Use a separate card reader.

Use a card reader instead of the camera.

Scrap the camera! Kodak hasn't and won't address the problem. Most picture download software won't recognize the camera. The only solution is to remove the memory card from the camera, put it in USB adapter and treat it like a flash drive. Cumbersome. Awkward. Stupid. After you scrap the ****, tell your friends so they don't make the mistake of buying a Kodak.

Sounds like a cable fault.
Try w. a different cable.

Remove the battery
Clean the metal contacts on the battery using a clean cloth

Pls test with an alt. batt.
If you do not have access to a dif. battery.
Pls. take the batt out of the camera. Insert the charger into the unit from the main socket and turn the camera on. If the camera works you will need to replace the batt. If not you will need to order a No power repair.
