Usb will not go into camera properly and can't

At first I thought the macbook air does not have an USB connector, but it has. At least one USB3 connector. That is how you connect the camera. And to get the picture transfer to work, you need the CD that came with the camera. The program CameraWindow DC is on the CD for both Windows and Macintosh.

your camera use a USB Cable 3' A To Mini B - (5 Pin). I recommend
1.- connect to another USB port.
2.- connect to another PC
3.- try another USB cable

Canon PowerShot SX130 IS Digital Camera's come equipped with the installation cds for their software. Make sure these are installed properly. The reason that the camera is stating "communication error" is that it cannot properly communicate with the computer, so make sure that your USB works properly (ie. no bite marks on the wire, it's not loose, you get the drift), that you're not using a USB hub (or if you are, it's capable of sending and receiving packets at a high speed) and that your camera is charged. Usually this can be resolved with changing the USB, so try another usb if you have one lying around, and make sure that it's connected properly to the camera and the computer.

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.

The required cable uses standard USB connectors. USB A male on one end and USB Mini-B 5 pin male on the other end. There are any number of sources to purchase one, here is an example.
