Uploading pictures from my digital camera onto my computer

I have always been able to connect my camera's cable to my computer and upload all my pictures. However, recently, although I do exactly the same thing, the pictures onto my computer have not been transfering from my camera to my computer.

How can I do so now? And, what is wrong? Why have I been unable to do so recently?

    I have the same problem except I have a different camera. I have no idea what's going on, but it keeps uploading random pictures I've deleted months ago, none of the new pictures I've taken. :(

Hello and welcome to FixYa

Please go to a electronics store and buy a USB card reader. I bought one last week and it cost $0.5 so its cheap as dirt. Then simply remove the card from your camera , pop it into the reader and the pictures will appear on a drive like a flashdrive in your my computer folder.

This is a much better option than using the camera's cable as it is faster , safer , saves on your camera battery and you don't need to install any software or drivers.


I cannot speculate as to what is wrong with your camera but this solution should bypass the problem and enable you to copy your pics again.


Kind Regards
Andrea

How do you upload pictures to a Mac Computer? I cant seem to find the cord for it, so it is very difficult. Please help!

a cable would be the easiest, as well as the most convenient, but i guess you could always take your SD card out, take it to the store, get your photos onto a disc from there, then back to your mac to upload..

My camera will not upload any pictures onto my computer. i have all of the correct software uploaded. it used to work correctly and now all of a sudden it will not upload anything.

Buy a card reader and stop using a USB cable. Card readers are much faster than USB downloads and work as a hard drive. Cameras do not need software to download onto a computer.

try uploading your pictures using your friend's similar datacable.. if you are able to do it then the problem lies with your cable.replace it. if the computer still doesnt recognize your camera try using a memory card reader and you can easily upload your pictures through it.. hope your problem is tackled. thanks for using fixya!. please dont forget to rate my solution.

My camera wont upload videos, but it works fine with pictures.

Goto any radio shack and get a external memory card reader this will allow you to get your pictures if the camera or cable is defective.

Uploading pictures from my digital camera onto my computer

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 such as Picasa.

Uploading pictures from camera onto computer

Go to a computer store there they should have a cheap/affordable usb cable or better a memory card reader where you can put your memory card into, it will connect to your computer/laptop and from there you should be able to upload pictures. and no you do not need to install anything at all. =) [email protected]
