I cannot download from my computer to my camara images will not display on camara,why?

You can tell if the lens is cracked simply by looking at it, but I doubt very much that that is the issue here. How do the images on the memory media look when viewed on your computer ? I they are OK, it is merely a problem with the LCD screen itself, but repairs would be expensive.

First use the Copy command as described on page 64 of the manual at http://www.general-imaging.com/uploadedFiles/40_Support/User_Manuals/J1456W/j1456w-usermanual-eng.pdf to copy the pictures from the camera's internal memory to a memory card. Then take the memory card from the camera and put it into a card reader attached to your computer. 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 such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

It could be any of several things. The battery could be dead, in which case nothing comes on. The image sensor could be bad, in which case the display won't show the image but will show the menus. The display could be bad, in which case nothing will show.

I was directed to a web site www.cardrecovery.com from there was able to download a trial software to check the card from my Cannon 460 Powershot camara, the deleted photograghs were found and displayed, I then purchased the log in key that enabled me to download the photos, about $45.00 Australian

There is really only one sure way to transfer images from a digital camera to your computer and that is with a card reader ($15-20). Plugging the camera directly into the computer is one of the most problematic areas in digital cameras. It is so much easier to go buy a card reader and plug it into the USB port on your computer. Then remove the memory card from your camera and plug it into the card reader. You can now click and drag or use any normal method to transfer your images. I would also advise a free download called Picasa3 supplied by Google. It will keep your images organized and assist you as your transfer images using your new card reader. It does a whole lot of other things your will like also. Best Wishes.

If you have a multi function printer scanner combo hooked up turn it off or unplug it. restart computer and try again

I don't know this model, but generally you download in one of two ways. Either you connect a cable from the camera's port to a USB on the computer, or you take out the flash chip from the camera and plug it into the computer's slot (only recent computers have this slot). Either way, the flash chip should now show up as an extra drive (e.g. E) on "My Computer" You can open the directory on that drive, and whatever photo-handling software you have on the computer (Picasa, Photoshop, Microsoft Image) can be used to save the images to your computer.

Please RESET camera by going in to camera MENU -> Initialize -> OK.
Camera will go to default factory settings and problem will resolve.

Have the images been edited outside the camera? If so then try saving the images using ZoomBrowser. Then reload to camera.

There are no drivers for digital camera.
Windows recognised these items as removeable drives.
If you have a cable plug it into the computer and look in 'My computers' under removeable drives.
Windows will also display the Scanner/Camera Wizard.
