I have a Canon A2000 IS, and up until yesterday I was uploading photos to my netbook without issue. However, when I've tried to upload photos today, everytime I connect the USB cable from the camera to the computer I get an error message on the display screen that reads "Communication Error." What can I do to fix this issue? Thanks!

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.

Can't Upload Pictures

Try putting the memory card in a USB card reader attached to your computer, which should see it as another drive. Write-protect the card first.

When I go to upload my photos to my computer error code 0x80010108 appears and doesnt allow me to upload. the problem only started last week, up until then all okay

It could be that you don't have enough space on your HDD. (computer)
Or you could have a virus. It is not letting you upload photo's .
Also try to reinstall your camera software. Good luck.

Problem Uploading Photos to Craigslist

Hi kdnew,

Try a simple reboot to start . send yourself an image in email(this requires an alternate email)if this goes through it confirms you can send images over the internet. Also, try resizing your images in a photo editor, the system could be detecting images too large to upload.

Only uploads certain photos?

Does your computer have enough space for all of the files? If you've checked that it does, you might try using a different program, such as Adobe Bridge. As a Canon user Canon's Digital Photo Professional is free (unlike Bridge), and it can allow you to see thumbnails of the images on your card. I've heard from other users to be sure you're using your camera to format the CF card and not your computer- somehow that affects the file storage system on the card. Good luck.

Canon PowerShot SD700 IS won't upload the photos to the PC?

You could avoid this problem by using a simple cheap SD card reader. Remove the SD card from your camera, insert the SD card in the reader and connect the reader to your PC/Laptop by a USB cable. You can then useWindows to view and upload your pictures

Canon A75 stuck between ON & OFF after uploading photos

My Canon A75 has the EXACT same problem. I have always handled it with care. When I was taking photos with it, the camera suddenly started shutting down without a low battery warning. It just started shutting down, but it stopped with the lens still sticking half way out. Like yours, the top green light flashes when I try pressing the power button. Any ideas?
