I've had my Canon SD880 for awhile and have never had issues uploading pictures to my old PC. However I recently switched to Mac and seem to be having issues now. I downloaded all the camera software and once I tried to upload new pics, I received a "Failed to initialize program" message and can't seem to get any further. Any thoughts on what to do here? Thanks.

I would recommend a Canon repair facility, the lens housing would need to be dis-assembled which requires precision and high degree level of skill. Canon is one of the better products and they do a professional job with warranty, check out pricing .
The simple solution is to get a card reader. You plug the memory card in one end and the other end to a USB port on your computer. It shows up as a removable drive in "my computer" or windows explorer offers to open it for you.
I don't have a solution, but I have the same problem. I found one posting elsewhere that said that this was a "common" problem. That person's camera was under warranty. Mine isn't, but it's less than 2 years old.
Get a card reader/writer, save your time and effort. No software will be needed for this. Then upload your files and use your software to edit or upload to the web or whatever.
you need to make sur about something:
the black spot, is it a dead pixels?
if it's not, canon will fix it for you free of charge as it could be a CCD problem.
My best advise for this issue it to purchase a usb card reader and remove the card from camera and use card reader to upload the pictures to your computer.
