I connect my camera, but nothign happens..

Try 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.

If you're using the software that came with the camera, it may be looking for new pictures only.

Check the settings on the PC.

You can transfer from the camera to the computer but not the other way around. That's the way it's supposed to work.

Replace the USB cables, it should work..........

Go to your start menu>all programs and look for it.

Connect the USB cable and turn on the camera, open My Computer, you will see an camera icon 'Canon xxxxxx'. double click this icon, all pictures will show up, select the pictures then drag them to your folder. Just like you copy files from this folder to another folder：-）

There could be a number of problems...

• Your USB cord is faulty

• A problem with your memory card

If replacing the cord won't work and if the problem persists you might think about buying a card reader so you'll have to remove your card from the camera and insert in into the reader which is then connected to the computer, that usually always works. Its annoying but its not that bad. Plus card readers aren't that expensive: only about $10+
