If your phone doesn't show in My Computer when you plug in the usb cord then move your pictures to sd card on phone then put sd card in a card reader on computer and download from there.

You need a Card Reader to start with. If you do not have one built-into the computer...go to RadioShack or on line to TigerDirect.com and get a USB Reader. Plug your SD into a slot on the card reader (it will only fit one of many sizes so you cannot make a mistake) and place the reader into the USB slot on the computer. From there you can open MY Computer, locate the USB reader and lift any and all data stored on that SD back to the Computer desktop.

Are you sure it's an SD card? If it's larger than 2GB then it's actually an SDHC card and won't work in devices designed only for SD cards.

Which operating system ?

What happens when you tried to plug-in SD card to the computer?

Have you made any recent changes to the computer prior to the issue?

To make the SDHC be recognized by the computer, we need to ensure that the card reader works in Windows 7 first. Please check if the card reader is recognized properly by the computer and you have installed the driver for it.

Meanwhile, you can plug some other storage cards to the card reader and see how it works.

I would suggest you to refer the link below

Uninstall all the Generic USB drivers and reinstall.

1. Open Device Manager.

2. In "Disk Drives" dropdown, uninstall the "Generic SD/MMC USB device" drive.

3. Restart computer.

4. Insert SDHC card.

Hope this helps.

try using an adapter that you can use to put the sd card in and plug it into the USB drive. The only thing I can come up with is either there is a lock on the sd card, or that slot isn't designed for sd cards but for other cards.

Most computers do not have a slot for a "Micro" SD card. Instead, those often have to placed inside an adapter that looks like a normal size SD Card. If your SD card looks like the picture below, you should be good to go from the start! Once it is inserted into the computer, click on "My Computer". On older Windows versions, this is a link on your desktop. In newer, click on the Start menu at the bottom left of your screen, then click on the "My Computer" option there. You should see the SD card on that screen below your hard drive.



If, however, your card looks like the smaller SD card on the right in the picture below, please ensure that your computer has a specific slot for this smaller variant of SD card. If it does not, you will need an adapter, shown to the left. In that case, you will plug the small SD card into the adapter, and then into the computer. then go to My computer to see it.

Yes. You can buy a card reader that accepts the SD card on one side and plugs into USB on the other. Here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/ELAGO-Speed-Memory-Reader-Writer/dp/B0028Y9BX8/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1298977893&sr=8-7 Cheers!

The 530 doesn't have a built in port for the card but you could find one at www.surpluscomputers.com that will read multiple types of cards. Have you tried plugging a USB cable from the camera to the computer and downloaded the info that way?

wow i didnt know that internal card readers only supported so much gb you learn something everyday, one solution you can try is get a camera or something that you can stick the sd card in and plug in your computer then you can transfer files to it
