S860 will not transfer images to pc

I have two digital cameras and transferring pictures couldn't be easier.

I simply plug the usb lead into the camera and switch it on and then plug the lead into the computer. Both the camera and the computer recognise they have been connected and the Windows photo wizard starts automatically. From there photos can be downloaded from the camera or deleted.

Consider 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.

Install your camera driver using the driver cd with camera.Use data cable connect camera and the computer with usb port.Now the camera can open using computer now import your images to computer

first off,never use rechargable batteries in this camera or most digital cameras for that matter.2 use only lithium batteries,enegizer preffered.,also yes you can view all your pictures when connecting the usb,meke sure you turn the power on,and highlight the word computer,push ok.you should be fine.good luck .i hope i helped

you do,not need a driver to tranfer pictures from camera to pc,first make sure you turn camera on,highlight the words camera,click ok on your camera.the download should start,if it does,nt start you need some kind of print programs.they should help you access your pictures,also if the computer recognizes the camera as removable media. you can go to my computer,right click on it,click open and look for pictures.good luck. hope i helped

From main menu, pick menu with wrench icon, make sure USB is set to "M" mass storage mode. In same menu there is an option for "Folders" to pick which folder to take images from, make sure this is the same as the folder where your images are. Remember that in mass storage mode you can browse the images on the camera as if they were a drive, in windows explorer. You can cut-paste images from camera drive to any folder on your computer.

hi there

you can do that by inserting our digital photo frame to your computer via usb and as soon as yor pc recognizes the photo frame, you can try and sending your photo towards it. you digital photo frame has internal memory so you might wana transfer those pics there. running from picasa however, you need to explore using picasa and as soon as picasa recognises the digital photo frmae, you can transfer now.

hope this helps..

new dells are presently shipped with 'vista'. when you connect your camera directly to the computer is should find the camera and ask you if you want to download the images. the camera must be turned on after you connect it.you can use explore to look for the camera. alternately use a card reader for usb 2 if you have a usb 2 port. all new dells have them. download time is much shorter with usb 2.
to access 'explore' simply right click on the start icon and select explore. it will bring up a tree and you can from there find your devices and drives.
good luck

to old for vista to recognize
