ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS TO COMPUTER
If your photos are stored on the memory card, then remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader. Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of your working computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device or an external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card and copy the photos to your computer. Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. You can copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off your memory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing any programs.

Consider NOT connecting the camera to the 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. Or you can use Nikon Transfer or any other photo cataloging program.

TRY USING A DIFFERENT DATA CABLE ON YOUR CAMERA, ALSO TRY CONNECTING THE DEVICE ON A DIFFERENT PC.

UPDTE ME AGAIN

maybe there is a virus in your computer that is why it doesn't appear...i suggest that try using other computer and check if there's any difference about the appearance...or maybe your camera has a problem....

I had the same problem. I lwas able to load more pictures because I bypassed the function. It is easy. Just open the resized picture file on your computer, then, copy (control c) the pictures you want, and then open the photo album device through "my computer" and paste into the appropriate album. My digital photo album was listed as F Drive in my computer.

Unplug all other USB devices. Restart computer then plug it in solo.
