Have to download and install software from canonusa.com for camera to work. It's not like a Sony brand camera where the drivers are already in Windows XP/Vista/7.

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_a_series/powershot_a470#DriversAndSoftware

The above is a page for your a470 camera.

It has a download page where you can input the operating system you have, and so on and so forth.

Plugging in usb lead to computer.. XP computer doesnt see camera??

Some cameras need a driver to be detected, but some need the installation CD to detect the camera. You can use a card reader to have the computer detect the pictures, and drag and drop them from the card to the computer. The card reader will be detected in My Computer as another drive, i.e. f:, g:, etc.
Good luck and hope this helps.

I have canon power shot SD11001S. when i connect this to mac laptop it dont detect. but when i connect in another laptop having windowsXP then it detect. how to solve this problem??

Try NOT connecting your camera to your Mac. 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 iPhoto or any other photo cataloging program.

When trying to upload pictures/videos onto the laptop, nothing is detected. I've put pictures from this camera onto this laptop before, but now nothing is autostarting. I've tried going into 'My Computer',...

Acer crystal eye webcam doesnt work.

ok this problem is caused by the wrong drive installed for the Crystal Eye Web cam.

even thoguh the camera shows that it is installed, the application looks for a specific one for the model you have. Unfortunatly Acer used 3 models of the camera without telling you which you have and calls all of them "crystal eye web cam"

go to acer.com select their support section and download all driver and applications available for the camera. you will need to try then 1 at a time til you get the one that works for your system

Plug in a Memory Card, in the Card Reader, then
Right-Click on My Computer Icon, Click on Manage, Then go to Disk Management, If you can find the Memory card Detected there but without a drive letter, then right-click on it and Give it a distinct(New) Drive letter and apply, but if it already has a drive letter assigned, then change it to a new one...i.e, assign to it a new Drive letter.
