Images on memory stick downloading everytime although camera says no images in folder

A certain set of pictures -26 in all download every time I download pictures on to image transfer. I have deleted all images and there is no indication that they are present on the memory stick. However, each time I download a set of images there they are again! All other pictures download and are deleted as normal-just these 26 stay. They are not invisible on my computer only when I download. I have tried to see if they have been protected in error and this does not appear to be the case. Is there some other hard drive where these may be stored? Please help if you can. many thanks Pat

Best thing to try is to format the disk - save anything you want to keep somewhere else first. If you need info on how to format the disk please post again with details of your operating system on your pc. Formatting should remove this problem, here is the link to the manual if you need it; http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/3082146111.pdf If formatting doesn't solve the problem, try deleting them from a card reader on a different pc - just might help, but if it doesn't format then the memory stick is probably dying. Hope this helps :)

We lost manual and don't know how to set camera to take more than 26 pictures

The information you've provided with the question is not enough to give a specific answer. So please do not rate negatively.
I think that you're only able to shoot 26 images with your Camera.
This may be due to limitation in the internal memory as well as the high resolution you set in the Camera.
Using a higher capacity memory card(EG SD CArd, Memory stick etc) will resolve the issue without affecting the quality of the picture.
The another fact that affect the number of images stored in the Camera is the image size(EG:1MP, 2MP, 3MP, VGA etc. )
Here setting Lower resolution like VGA or 1 MB will allow you to capture more images.
However, in most cases, you cannot capture 26 images in good quality in normal Cameras (it comes around 2 to 5).. So you might be already set the Camera in Less Image size. Hence the available option is using a memory card..
Please get back to me with the exact model # of the Camera. I might be able to give more specific information.. http://www.fixya.com/users/shajanrs
Thanks for understanding..

Need a free download for my sony cyber shot dsc-w55 to download pictures on my computer

You do not need any Driver or Software to transfer the images from the Camera to the Computer.

1. Set the USB Connection or Transfer mode setting in the Camera menu to Mass Storage or Normal .

2. Connect the Camera to the Computer using the supplied USB cable or any USB cable.

3. The Computer will recognize the Camera (make sure that the recording media containing the pictures (Memory Stick) is inserted in the Camera).

4. Click the Start button and then click the "My Computer" icon (for XP Operating System and for Vista or Windows 7 it will be "Computer" icon).

5. In the "My Computer" or "Computer" window, click the icon that represents the Camera.

6. Click the "DCIM" folder and drag it to the desktop screen of the Computer to transfer the images from the Camera to the Computer.

However, you may download the supplied Picture Motion Browser software for the Camera from this Link.

I put memory stick duo into laptop now am not able to use camera.

It sounds like the photos are downloaded onto the pc... the access might mean that the memory card is empty. Turn the selector wheel on top of the camera to the mode that you take the photos on and try taking a picture. Make sure the card is in the right way first. Also the next time you download the photos just make a new folder on your desktop and label it photos. Insert the memory card open it and highlight one photo then press cntrl and A ...this will highlight all the photos in the folder then drag them to the new folder it will remove the photos from the card and place them in that folder on your pc. hope this helps

Deleting photos of my camera

Your camera creates folders on the SD card to hold the images. It puts about 100 images in each folder. (See page 111 in the User Guide.) When you erase images, it may only be erasing the images in one folder. But your computer still sees the images in the other folder(s). To completely erase all images, use the "Format" function (see pages 25 - 26 in the User Guide). To completely clear it, use the Low Level Format option. You can download the User Guide here.

Samsung s1050 says file error

Are you able to transfer the images to the computer? It looks like a memory stick problem.. If your camera has internal memory then pull out the memory stick and save images to internal memory.. If the pictures are alright then you have to replace the memory card.. Do not buy them on ebay. 60% of the times you get fake stuff over there..

Downloading the photographs

To download without the software, you will need either the usb cord that came with the camera, or a memory card reader for your computer. For the first step, plug the camera into the computer and camera via the usb cable provided. put the camera in playback mode and turn it on. If you use a memory card reader, remove the card from the camera and insert it into the proper slot on the reader.
Now for PC users - go to 'my computer' (vista its just 'computer') and under 'media with removable devices' you should see the camera come up (or memory card folder). double click, and then you should see a folder that says DCIM. Click and drag that folder onto your desktop. Congrats, you just transfered your photos. Now the folder DCIM on your desktop should be opened and the folders within DCIM contain your images. Sort the photos in whatever way makes sense to you (most likely to be in my pictures (under my documents)). Be sure to delete the DCIM folder off the desktop AFTER you moved all of the images into their proper folders...otherwise next time you try to do this, there will be a conflict with folders named DCIM. This method keeps the images on your memory card. If you would like to remove them, after you re-insert the card into your camera, turn on the camera, press menu, go to the set-up screen (yellow) and go to format - this will erase every picture on your card and make a new slate for when you take new pics.
