I have my camera card in reader but cant get the pics to download on my computer please help
First - have you ever used this memory card in this camera with this card reader connected to this computer - or is one or more "new to to the mix"? If so, which are new?
The obvious stuff is what I like to check out first.. check that the reader is connected to the computer's USB port (switch to a different port if it is and see if your computer displays a message indicating it is installing drivers / reading the memory card). Make sure the card is in the correct slot. Many readers can accept several different memory cards in two or more different slots - make sure you have inserted yours in the correct slot - and oriented properly. The card should slip in easily - not forcing should be required. Some readers maybe connected via USB "hub" that requires power - if yours is set up this way, make sure the power pack is plugged it.
Still nothing? Make sure there are images on the memory card. You should be able to reinsert the card into your camera and play them back on it. If they do play, remove the card and attempt to play them on the camera again - if they play this time, that tells me the images are in the camera's internal memory - not the removable memory card. You will need to transfer them from the camera - not the memory card if this is the case.
If you're still having trouble, please provide the camera & card reader name & model and if you're using Windows or something else. Finally, what is the name model and memory capacity of the memory card? Good luck!

If you can get the pics using a card reader, why are you insisting on using the camera and USB cord? Pros always use a card reader.

You need to find your original Canon solutions software disk and reinstall it. But if you can't find it, please see the following blog article, as it describes the use of a card reader as a much easier, faster, and less error prone way to download your photos. In fact there are several important reasons discussed in the article for using a card reader vice downloading from the camera. USB Card readers are also very inexpensive these day, with cost virtually not an issue:

Have you been to the Targus website?

Try using a separate card reader to download your pictures to a folder you create on your desktop.

I have the problematic Windows VISTA on a 64-Bit Machine. The Memory Card Reader had been working fine. It was inserted during one of the Windows VISTA hang-ups, which necessitated a re-boot, for a lack of a better descripition. Since that time, the system recognzies then the USB 2.0 Memory Card Reader is inserted, but it does not recognize when a Compact Flash Card is inserted in the Reader. VISTA instructs me to insert a memory card, when I open the drive in My Computer even when a card is inserted.
