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.

First, check both ends of the USB cable to be sure that the ports and the plugs are properly seated so that the metal pins are able to transfer data. Restart Windows with the cables plugged in, and the camera should be recognized. You also MUST have the camera turned ON in order for the computer to read the fact that it is connected. If these suggestions fail, check your Microsoft Computer Management program to be sure that PlugnPlay devices are automatically recognized by your system.
Have fun with your photography!

I scanned pictures unto my Magic Wand, but when I plug it in my computer, I can't find the file. Can you help me?

Connect your scanner to your computer via usb cord to view pictures on the computer monitor.
1. Connect your scanner to your computer and then turn on your scanner.
2. Your computer will recognize the scanner as a "Removable Disk". "USB" symbol will display on status LCD. Click "Open folder to view files" to view, import, copy, move or delete scanned files.

NOTE: If the Removable Device Window does not launch automatically, go to your "My Computer" and find the device under Removable Storage.

My computer does not have the microsoft scanner and wizard thing on it.. where or how can I add it to my computer so I can upload pictures?

ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO A COMPUTER
If your photos and videos 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.

I am trying to download pics from my Canon G11 to my computer and have it plugged in but don't know what to do next.

Hello and welcome to FixYa
To upload your photos from your
Canon PowerShot G11 Digital Camera to computer
1.First connect your digital camera to your computer.
You can do this in two different ways:

Use a USB cable:Most digital cameras come with a cable that connects the camera to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port on your computer.
Through memory card:A memory card reader is a piece of hardware that plugs right into your computer. You remove the memory card from your camera and insert it into your memory card reader, similar to the way you might transfer a file between two computers using a floppy disk.
Now connect USB cabe or Memory card Reader to the port of the computer
2.Once you've connected your camera to your computer or inserted your memory card into your memory card reader, your computer will detect the connection and ask you what you want to do with your pictures. If you connected your camera with a USB cable, click Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard, and then click OK
If you are using a memory card reader, click Copy pictures to a folder on my computer using Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard, and then click OK.

If you are using a memory card reader, click Copy pictures to a folder on my computer using Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard, and then click OK.

DSC-S730 copy my picture to my computer?

The procedure to transfer pictures to a Computer depends on whether or not the Camera has the capability of using Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). If the Camera is capable of PTP (in this case; DSC-S730 - YES), set the USB mode in the Camera menu to PTP and then use the PTP procedure to copy the pictures to the computer. Otherwise, use one of the standard USB transfer procedures.

This procedure must be performed while logged in as Administrator or to an account with Administrator rights:

  1. Turn on the Computer.
  2. Turn on the Camera.
  3. Insert the recording media containing the pictures into the Camera.
  4. Set the USB connection or Transfer mode setting in the Camera menu to PTP .
  5. Use the USB cable supplied with the Camera to connect the Camera to the Computer. NOTE: Connection through a USB hub or other USB device --such as a printer or keyboard-- is not supported and cannot be guaranteed. The Camera should be connected directly to a USB port on the Computer.
    NOTE: The Scanner and Camera Wizard should automatically start.
  6. In the Scanner and Camera Wizard window, click the Next button.
  7. Under Choose Pictures to Copy , do one of the following:
    • Click to select each picture you want to copy.
    • Click Select All to select all the pictures for copying.
    NOTE: Selected images will be marked with a green check mark.
  8. Click the Next button.
  9. Under Picture Name and Destination , in the Type a name for this group of pictures field, enter a name for the folder where the pictures will be saved.
  10. Next to the Choose a place to save this group of pictures field, click the Browse button.
  11. In the Browse for Folder window, click to select the location on the computer where you want to save the pictures.
  12. Click the OK button.
  13. In the Scanner and Camera Wizard window, click the Next button. NOTE: The pictures are copied to the Computer.
  14. After the transfer process it finished, under Other Options , click to select Nothing, I'm finished working with these pictures .
  15. Click the Next button.
  16. Click the Finish button.
If you are still unable to transfer pictures, please switch the USB mode of the Camera to Normal or Mass Storage and try again.
After following the steps above, the pictures from the camera should successfully be copied to the computer. If for some reason the pictures did not copy, try using the method for standard USB picture transfer.

I'm assuming you are using the Windows XP Operating System in the Computer. If not then follow this link:

Have a canon powershot A40...can download pics on other computers through camera and scanner wizard, but have a new refurbished machine that is great, but flashes the ''can not detect camera''. The sound...

Invest in a USB card reader to read the CF card from your camera (around $15). Your camera was made before picture transfer protocol (PTP) was develeoped, which is what allows the camera and scanner wizard to work. With the card reader, you put your card into it, and your computer 'sees' the card reader as another drive on the computer, like a flash drive.

Getting Pictures Off Camera

Have you looked in my computer for the camera??  Try running the camera and scanner wizard in accessories from the start menu.  If this does not work, go to control panel>printers and other hardware and click on scanners and cameras.  If your model is not there then click an an imaging device (top left under imaging tasks) and follow the steps putting in your model ect.
If all of this fails then there are other possibilities 
  • Faulty cable
  • Faulty USB port
  • Problem with your camera
  • Problem with your software from camera
Hope this helps

Write protection

could be a couple things.
first: your memory card most likely has a slide switch just switch that back to the unlock mode
second:

second: from olympus guy
put the camera into play back mode. This is where you can see your picuters on the camera. Then go into the menu and try to go to card setup. This is 3rd tab. So hit ok hit right for mode menu. then hit down to you see card setup. Then hit right arrow 2 times and you will see formatt. Then go to yes and it will say caution somthing. and hit ok

Now if you have picuters on the card this will delete them so if you care about them you might want to think about data recovery. But if not try this and let me know.



"""I don't use the camedia software to download pics from the camera, neither do I use Xp's picture and scanner wizard. I simply plug my cam to the usb port and xp detects it as a USB mass storage device. I then copy the pics from the removable device displayed on My Computer window. Would you say that this method is not safe?""""



This is best way to do it i think. If you dont want to go into Cameida. The xp scanner camera wizard works good most time i dont know why it messes up some camera cards and its really random. One thing i would say. Formatt the card everytime you download your picuters. Not in the computer by right clicking on the driver, NEVER DO THIS!! will blow your card basicly. Do not delete pictuers from you computer with camera pluged it. Basicly most cameras us a diffrent file system the your computer. So that can start to mess things up. Just put the card into camera and do a format.

hope that helps.
