My computer don't recognize my camera (samsung tl220) when I hook it up it just wants to talk about if I want to charge my camera while in sleep mode...thats all it does...I can't upload pix

try cleaning out the lenses. you might have some dust or something inside. but if you don't know how to open it up, I recommend you an expert. hope that helps

From the description provided the problem is in the systems control board, this the brains of the camera and controls vital area's of the device. My sense is to replace the camera, unless it was expensive then have it assessed.

Things to check first for a camera that won't turn on (no power, no lights, no noise, nothing) are battery contact points, and micro switches that are located on the battery and memory card doors. Troubleshooting tips on other things that need to be checked may be seen here. These tips won't work for every case, but they're worth a try.

But if there is some electrical activity, then you're more likely experiencing a lens error. In that case, see this article.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about how to find the manuals, drivers, downloads andsupport for Digital Cameras.

Having gone over two months without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

I had the same problem with a new Samsung TL220. I would plug cord into computer and camera. It would not recognize camera but would charge camera. After 25 minutes with tech support, they said it was the cord and the sent me a new one. Problem solved

Simple...take it back.

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, such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

change the port ...be sure the camera is on and well powered...and usually it has to be in view pictures mode...
if a driver disk came with the camera ..insert it and run it first...this should take care of the issue ...when you plug the usb cord..see that on the camera display will appear a dialog t ask you do choose a connection mode...
