Nikon Coolpix S1 won't read card.

It is readable on my Mac using a card reader. But the camera will not read the card, nor allow any pictures to be taken. I can access the preferences on the camera, but the background is not black as it normally was, but whatever is showing through the lens. 
I bought a new SD card and tried it to no avail after managing to format it in camera.

I am confused. If you can FORMAT the SD card when it is in the camera (FORMAT is successful) you SHOULD be able to use it.

I have a Nikon coolpix L24 camera but pc does not recognize camera when I try to download

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 such as Nikon Transfer or Picasa.

My camera shuts off when I plug it into my computer or iPad to download, not allowing my technology to read the pics.

If your camera can download pictures to PC by plug it in PC, you can try Recovery factory Settings and the problems will be solved. And here are another tip that always use the USB cable is not good for your cameras, as the build-in card reader, USB interface. If you use a card reader and if the reader broken you can easily change another one. but if the build-in card reader is broken, it won't be so simply.

I am a Mac user. How do i download software for my camera?

You don't need to download any software to your camera.
You can download the current versions of all (free) Nikon software (for your Mac) here.

Downloading pictures from Nikon Coolpix 4600

Hi, Pity you aren't using Apple Mac OSX. All I can suggest is that you re-boot the camera whilst you are plugged into the USB. ie turn the camera off then on.  If that doesn't work then unplug the usb and reinsert. If all that doesn't work then use some other device such as a SD card reader that allows you to access the contents read by the computer.  The more I type the more I am suspect this is a Vista driver issue. So try to circumvent the camera being plugged and instead just use an adapter that allows your computer to read an SD card. These things are readily available at prices between $20 & $30 -  or possibly you might have one as part of your printer.
