You will need the usb cable for that model of camera or the cradle that came with the camera for that.

use a usb cable or a card reader both are mac compatible, may be a dongle will also help, go online and down load the software for mac, restart before another attempt, you may also restart the computer with you camera on and connected to to the computer by usb

Very simple, press the Menu button on the back of your camera, now look for the TOOLS icon, you might show 2 or 3 TOOL icons? Scroll on TOOLS until you see FORMAT, click on that and verify with a YES and click, that should format you new card.

You don't need any special software in order to use your camera. 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). 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, despite what I said first, you can use any photo management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

I only can think of two reasons. The first, the battery does not have enough power. As a safety precaution it shuts itself down, to avoid damage to the saved pictures. Because if the voltage is to low, it can't write with 100% accuracy. Second: something is blocking free movement of the lens. This could have a cause inside the lens barrel, and you won't see a thing. It also could be a minute damage on the outside of the lens. Or what sometimes happens while putting the camera on, you touch the lens barrel. I assume you did remove any lens cap attached to the camera. So if you can't see any damage to the lens barrel, charge the battery and try again.

First check your warranty on the remote chance that might cover the damage. The only true fix for a scratch on a camera lens is replacement. For many point and shoot cameras that would cost more than the camera, IF you can even find someone to replace it. There are several do it your self options that work sometimes and to varying degrees. The first and most well known way is the alcohol method. First place some lens cleaner on a microfiber cloth and wipe the lens well, then using a clean portion of the cloth, dry the lens well. Next mix a solution of 1 part rubbing alcohol and 20 parts water (e.g. 20 teaspoons of water to 1 teaspoon of alcohol.) Using a fresh microfiber cloth, dip it into the alcohol mix, then gently rub the length of the scratch repeatedly and you may see the scratch disappearing. If so continue until the scratch is gone. Next take a clean microfiber cloth or if you don't have one, a clean portion of the one you used previously with the alcohol and gently buff the lens. The second method I am aware of is using one of the many lens scratch repair kits available online, but be sure to read the reviews to choose wisely before you purchase one.

I'm not really clear on what the problem is- are you looking for a docking station? If your computer does not have a built in card reader, get a usb card reader at any computer store or Amazon. They are usually less than $20.00 and easy to use.

How do you normally transfer your pictures?If you do it by connecting your camera to your computer, remove the memory card before making the connection.If you do it by putting the card into a card reader, use the "Backup" or "Copy" command to copy the pictures from internal memory to card. I wish I could tell you exactly where in the menu system the command is, but without knowing the model of your Sony Cybershot camera I'm afraid I can't do that.

Is it an SD card, 2GB or smaller? The Z650 will not work with higher-capacity SDHC cards.

Internal system problem, no user fix for this. needs shop repair.

Hello Donna, You camera is suffering from age, needs to be repaired or time to replace it. Sorry.

Repair needs to be done by tech.

Hello Francine, Sounds like internal fault, need to have service check,may be too costly to repair.Best Regards, Russell

If you have an EasyShare printer dock or AC adapter, try those. If not, you will have to have it repaired, unless your battery is dead or the connections in the battery bay have a foreign object or corrosion blocking the connection.

Use the format command in the setup menu. See this page of the user guide. Make sure you're using an SD or MMC card, 2GB or smaller. This camera will not work with higher-capacity SDHC cards.

Do you have a compatible memory card installed? Is the card formatted? Is there sufficient empty space on the card?
