Windows 7 does not recognize coolpix L820

Installed and uploaded photos just fine of the first try. month or so later I hooked it up to the computer again via USB port and nothing. Have tried different ports, have tried doing it with the camera on/off. tried un-installing and re-installing the program. tech support e-mailed me an updated program. un-installed the other and installed the new. nothing. Nikon has been 'expediting' this for a week and a half now. please, someone help!!!

If windows does not recognise the camera you must suspect the driver. I'm more a camera man, ten a Windows man, because with me everything works (I do have Win7 and Mac OSX 10.9.1)
Did you try to install Adobe Photoshop Elements, or something like Gimp? With these software you should be able to transfer pictures too. If these programs also don't work, it must be the driver.

SOURCE: pc cant recognize the camera on the USB port

What is the Pc doing that shows you it is not recognizing the camera?
Have you looked in My computer at your drives to see if it is showing there? For some reason mine sometimes shows up my F drive instead of my camera drive. Then you can just click on the drive and open the folder for the photos.

What operating system are you using?

If you have xp or vista, you can uninstall the software and transfer the pictures since these operating system has built in drivers.

SOURCE: Canon Rebel XTi not recognized when plugged into usb

Vista is your problem. Solution...buy an inexpensive card reader to download your pics to a folder you create on your desktop. From there, you can send the pics to your photo editing software.

SOURCE: New Coolpix L20. Driver does not install with

Greetings,

I would take out the SD memory card and use it with a card reader like this one: http://bit.ly/5fruhB . You simply take out the SD memory card and put it in the card reader. Then put the usb end of the card reader into your computer and download the pictures that way.I also recommend that you download Picasa, a free photo organizer/editor for your pictures: http://bit.ly/5f6HEt This way you bypass the lousy nikon software altogether. Hope that was helpful,
Take Care,
-WN

SOURCE: My Nikon Coolpix LP16 is not detected by Windows

Microsoft updates frequently make changes to the registry which cause our cameras to no longer be recognized. The simple solution is to start using a separate card reader.

Windows 7 won't recognize nikon coolpix L820

Try 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). 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 management program such as Picasa.

L820: Display dead in most functions, but not all

I would hope you have tried removing the battery, charging it and replacing it first already. The next thing I would try is to set the camera to factory default options.

Windows 7 uploads all my photos on my camera instead of just the new ones

You need to delete the old photos in the camera - you can format the camera's memory discs prior to taking new photos.

I have a full memory card on a Coolpix S4000. I was able to view photos but now I can not. They will not upload either. The camera did freeze on me before this happened.

ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS TO COMPUTER
If your photos are stored on the memory card, then removethe 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 yourworking computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device oran external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card andcopy the photos to your computer.Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. Youcan copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off yourmemory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing anyprograms.

Computer won't recognize the photos on my memory card

If you have them on a removable card, try them in a card reader.

It's quite likely there's nothing wrong with the photo's, but your camera may have a problem.

Can't upload pics; computer not "seeing" camera

The key to getting back to "It used to work fine;" is to make Windows "GO BACK IN TIME" to that moment when it last "It used to work fine;" occurred. How to do that. Try to pinpoint the exact date that it started acting badly. Now do this: START-ALL PROGRAMS-ACCESSORIES-SYSTEM TOOLS-SYSTEM RESTORE. I'm hoping you actually have RESTORE utility turned on...Now select the restore date BEFORE it quit working. DONE! Windows will run as it used to run when all worked well. I use RESTORE all the time and I have 100% success rate!

Would help to know who's USB chip is in your box. Actually cannot recommend any Win products but XP. Have used Win 3.1,95,98,98se,me,xp home.
