My eos says busy when trying to download pics to my pc? and deleted pics off the memory card.

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 and 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.

Having gone over a month without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

Try using a card reader to download your pics. After that always format the memory card in your camera using its built in format program never format using your computer.

the question I ask is why would you want to do this?

The camera has XX Mb of memory in case the card becomes full. Generally one downloads the pics on to a PC and deletes the Camera files to start again

If you want to keep the pic files in memory and save them tpo your pc. remove the card for safety.. Interrogate your camera via the connection cord and the software it came with. Download the folder with the pics in memory to your PC. Then delete the files on the camera. Insert the SD card and In menu, set up to save files to SD card rather than memory while there is space.

Please rate my help++++Thanks fore using FIXYA

Use a Memory Card Reader to see if there are any photo on the card, If there is remove them and Format the card on the Computer.

Snow Leopard is the issue. The simple fix is to use a card reader to download the pics to a folder you create on your desktop.

Goto any radio shack and get a external memory card reader this will allow you to get your pictures if the camera or cable is defective.

if your cam is using a sd card, the card could be locked, theres a little switch on the side of the card try using that and see wat happens. its tiny on one of the sides.

hey found solution,

in Menu > Go to the last setting menu > Communication > and set it to PC Connection

hope this helps!
