ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO A COMPUTER
If your photos and videos are stored on the memory card, then remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader. Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of your working computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device or an external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card and copy the photos to your computer. Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. You can copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off your memory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing any programs.

Why won't my PC download my pictures from my camera?

A number of things may prohibiting your camera from downloading the pictures to your computer. Here are a few suggestions that should point you in the right direction:

  1. Ensure that all cables are properly secured from the computer to the camera.
  2. Ensure that the memory card has not been dislodged from the camera.
  3. Check the camera's memory socket and the memory card for debris. A can of 'compressed air' can work wonders (typically available at any computer store).
  4. Make certain that the port connecting the camera to the computer is not damaged. Look for any bent pins in the camera's memory slot. Try replacing the camera cable. If the camera uses a USB port, try another USB port. If you don't have another USB port available, try plugging in another USB device to verify that the USB port is working.
  5. Check the power source on the camera. If you're using batteries while attempting to transfer the pictures to the PC, try changing your batteries, recharge the batteries, or use an A/C adapter.
  6. Try reinstalling the digital camera software on your computer. In most cases, reinstalling over top of the existing software will resolve this issue.
  7. Take the media out of the digital camera and attempt to download it to another computer. If all else fails, try formatting the camera media. Most newer-generation digital cameras equipped with an LCD screen have a menu option that can format your media.
Good luck!

I wanted to know how to download the video to my computer

First you're going to need to locate the USB cable that comes with your camera and plug it into your computer via USB-port. Most cameras use a mini-usb cable, and it should look like the picture renzyfeist_1.jpg It should look something like that or similar to that cable and can plug into your camera. I'm not quite sure what model or brand your digital camera is, but look around for a flap or plug-in hole that is in your camera. That should be where you plug in the cable.
After that, take the cable and plug it into your USB-port on your computer, it's a rectangular shaped port that should match up with the other end of the cable.
When you've connected your camera to your computer, it should automatically detect the camera and prompt you to open the camera to view files. If not, follow these steps.
  1. Open start menu
  2. Computer
  3. Look for your device, should be labeled "YOUR DEVICE NAME - MODEL"
  4. Double click on your device
  5. There should be one or two folders once you've clicked it, click on the one that starts with DCM.
  6. Find your video and photos inside that folder and drag it onto your desktop
Once that's done, you should have the video that you captures on your camera onto your computer for viewing.
Good luck!

Where is port to connect USB cable?

I'm sorry you're having trouble with this. I have put together a picture that shows where the mini-USB plug is supposed to be attached to the camera. I hope it helps. This picture actually shows plugging the AV cable into the receptical, but right behind it is the mini-USB port. This is where you connect the USB cable. It looks like you have to lift the flap on the corner to reveal the plugs.

Camera and cord not in sync

It sounds like the camera's USB port may be damaged. Have a close look at the port and the cable, too. If it looks like the cable is bent in some way, then you could replace it. If it's the USB port on the camera then it would cost more than the camera to have it repaired. Best recommendation: Purchase a USB card reader from your local electronics store - Best Buy or whoever. Plug this device into your computer and then insert the camera's SD Card. The card reader acts just like a regualr drive on our computer. With this method there is less chance of damage to the hardware. Good luck.
