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

It's an improperly installed driver for you device. Try going to safe mode and reinstall your camera drivers. Then try plugging it in first while the computer boots to see if it recognizes the attached camera...

daniellarousso,

i know it's not the answer you were looking for but i agree with the poster above. invest in a $10 all in one card reader and then forget about connecting your camera to your computer directly.

benefits of the card reader is they can be used for almost any type of card (memory stick, sd, compact flash, etc) so that any time you have friends or family over and want to download pics from their camera, you can.

i recommend the kingston FCR HS219.

good luck!

How to transfer photos on may casio camera to my loptop

My problem is i cant down load my picture to the computer any more

IF you have plug-n-play capabilities, you also need a USB cord that goes from the camera to the computer - Many have USB ports on the front, now.

1) Plug the USB cord into the computer.
2) Plug the USB cord into the camera.
3) Turn the camera on (some cameras have a setting they need to be on to transfer pics - make sure you're set on that)
4) The computer should find the appropriate drivers and programs to read the pictures on the camera.
4a) If having them on the computer is enough for you, make sure the "delete when transfer complete" box that will be in most programs.
4b) Make sure the pix will download to the folder you want them two.
4c) if you want to make an album/folder for the set of pix from the camera, do so now (program prompts should show you how. If not, hit "HELP") - I usually just use the date in reverse - Feb 20, 2008 would be "20080208" - keeps 'em sorted in order.
5) Click GO, SUBMIT, TRANSFRER, or whatever your program calls it.
6) Turn off camera when all are downloaded.

The program should probably open the folder into which you downloaded the pictures.

I may have missed a step or two, but it should be fairly easy to figure out. You can leave the USB port cable plugged in, if you have enough ports, then all you need to do is connect your camera and turn it on.


thanks.

How do i upload the pictures on this camera onto the computer? does it take a USB cord because i cant find where anything plugs into the camera besides where the charger goes? i dont have my charger on me...

Samsung say this has a USB 2 port. Maybe it is behind a door or has a rubber plug in it. It will be a mini-USB socket, not a big one like on the computer, and a lead should have come with the camera. If you are using a "charger" lead that plugs into a USB port on the computer, than that also serves as the USB connection.

People often find it simpler to remove the memory card from the camera and plug it into a cord reader on the computer to transfer files. Newer computers have card readers built in, but if yours doesn't, you can get a little SD card reader for a quid at Poundland. However, this camera uses micro-SD cards, so you will also need an adapter to get it to fit an SD reader slot. If you aren't using a card, then you will have to use the USB lead to transfer pics from the camera's built in memory.

Hi, how can I transfer my film to the computer? I have the usb cord but cant transfer.

Are we discussing a digital camera or a film camera? What make and model?

You might want to consider NOT connecting the camera to the computer, if it's a digital camera and uses memory cards.

My USB cord quit working

If the pictures are stuck in your internal camera memory, you will need a cord to get them off unelss you can transfer them to your memory card first. You should be able to copy the pics there.

Unable to download pictures from camera to pc

There are lots of different USB cables, not a real standardized piece. Try the USB that came with the camera or buy one that has your model listed. I have many and they all are specific to their models, some charge but dont sync, while others sync but dont charge, and some just dont do anything.
