I have a casio ex z500. I bought a 8gb sdhc card and it didn't work, so I downloaded the 1.02 version. It takes pictures but now when I insert the card in the memory slot on my computer, the computer is not reading it. What can I do

The EX-Z500 works with MMC and SD cards. While SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work with this camera.

Your question is not clear, however I presume you have a newer version of SD card. If you bought the camera back in 2007, SD cards like the Ex-Pro® SD 8GB SDHC Secure Digital Memory Cards will work with your camera. If you insert a recent version of SD card, your camera will not communicate with it.
There maybe some underlying issues but try this first.
What type and size memory card? The EX-Z50 works with MMC and SD cards. While higher-capacity SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work.
The problem is that your camera will only read SD cards, not SDHC cards, I checked its specification. You found your 256Mb card too small and bought a replacement, not noticing that it was SDHC. The new card doesn't work, not because it or the camera is broken, but because it's not compatible.
Cards up to 2Gb are generally SD. Cards over 8Gb have to be SDHC. 4Gb cards can be either SD or SDHC, but are almost always SDHC because they're cheaper. I'm willing to bet that the 4Gb card you got is actually SDHC because 4Gb SD cards are so rare that I've even seen a guru on this site claim they don't exist. I did own one once, but it was very expensive and turned out to be so unreliable that I had to return it.
Your solution is to go find a 2Gb card, and be extra sure that it doesn't say "SDHC" on it. (If it does, it probably means that they made a 4Gb card, but there were some error locations and so they disabled half of it and packaged it as a cheap-brand 2Gb.)
Your camera can use SD or SDHC cards. I recommend SDHC because of their larger capacity. If you plan to take videos, I recommend a class 6 or better SDHC card of 8GB or more. Enjoy your new camera...it's getting very good reviews everywhere.
Is it a SD card, or a SDHC (High Capacity) card of more than 8GB? Because the EX-Z500 natively does not support Large-SDHC.
Power off the camera. Press and keep pressed the MENU key, and while doing this, turn on the camera via the ON button. Press the MENU key until the firmware revision is displayed. I suspect you will see V1.01 or V1.00.
And Large-SDHC support is only present in release V1.02 of the Z500 firmware.
You should have the firmware updater-checker software; if not, you can find it on Casio website:
The EX-S600 uses SD (and MMC) cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card and will not work in the EX-S600. You'll have to stay with cards 2GB and smaller.
it may, but im not sure if the sdhc or only the sd card is comapitble, it may say its not, but on a cheap camera i got once, i put a 8gb shdc card in it and it was only able to handle 2 gb sd (thats what it said in the manual) and the card showed up as 8gb and was completely usable, i would try the card in the camera before you purchase it, ask at the counter or something, because it may work even if the manual says it wont
SDHC cards work for most cameras but many printers cannot run SDHC cards I have had the same problem and getting a usb cord for my camera worked just fine
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 Picasa.
