I just had the same problem tonight, actually. It's because I just started using the Memory Stick Pro Duo Adaptor for compactflash slot. Make sure the camera is not plugged into the usb slot. Go to menu, go to settings tab (the wrench icon on top), down twice to "Transfer Mode" and select PTP. If it doesn't work you can always change it back. I noticed also that in PTP mode, it might not let you delete images after copying. ??
That's all I have at the moment. Good luck.

How to transfer my data from my sony A100 to my Computer
Use a USB cable.
If you use one of the OS on your computer

  • Windows Vista (except for Starter)
  • Windows XP Home Edition and Professional (*1)
  • Windows Me
  • Windows 2000 Professional
  • Mac OS X (v10.1.3 or later) (*2)
(*1) 64-bit editions is not supported
(*2) As of June 2008, operations have been confirmed with Mac OS X (10.1.3 - 10.5).
A recording medium larger than 2GB is supported in v10.3 or later.
Note: Operation is not assured in an environment based on an upgrade of the operating systems described above or in a multi-boot environment.

The A100 does not support USB connection on Windows 98/98 SE. For that you can use a card reader instead.

Transfer/Edit Sony HDR-TG3 1080i AVCHD Videos on Windows/Mac

Sony Handycam HDR-TG3E is a super small camera with full HD recording on Memory Stick in 2008. It includes 4GB and 10x optical zoom for capturing 1920x1080 and 1440x1080 videos. However, this camera does not include progressive recording mode, which indicates that the HD videos are 1080i. Even though it is compact camera, the audio is recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1ch. You can also take 2.3Mp stills while you are recording video footage.
Sony HDR-TG3E features:
- 1920x1080i HD video recording
- 4 megapixel still photo recording
- Dual Rec simultaneous 2.3 megapixel still photo during video recording
- Handy face detection
- Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens
- ClearVid CMOS Sensor and Exmor derived technology
Videos from Sony HDR-TG3E:

Transfer & Edit Sony HDR-TG3 AVCHD videos:
For Windows users:
Install the Picture Motion Browser (PMB) from the bundled CD in box, and connect Sony HDR TG3 to PC via USB cable. Use Sony PMB to download HD .mts videos from camcorder to PC.
For Mac users:
You can capture and transfer Sony HDR-TG3 1080i videos to iMac/MacBook Pro via iMovie after connecting camera to computer with USB cable. However, you may face problem when trying to log and transfer AVCHD videos from Sony Handycam HDR-TG3E to Final Cut Express (FCE) 4 or Final Cut Pro (FCP) 5. After transferring HD .mts videos from camera to computer hard drive, just run Aunsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac as the Mac Sony HDR-TG3 MTS converter to deinterlace .mts videos and convert .mts to .mov for FCE and FCP, if you want to edit HD videos.
Alternative way to transfer HDR TG3 videos for Mac and PC:
Just connect HDR TG3 pocket camera to computer via the USB cable, and the HDR TG3 will display as a hard drive on computer. Navigate to the HDR TG3 hard drive to access the memory stick.

Stuck in video Mode on startup - Liquid Image VideoMask 310
I realize your post is several months old, but since no one else answered, here goes. With fresh batteries in your camera, attach the USB cable to the mini connection hidden below the screw-on-cover on the top of the camera body. Make sure you have the mini side of the USB cable attached correctly to the camera. Be careful. It will fit both ways but only works for one of them. Don't turn the camera on. Attach the other end of the USB cable to a USB port on your computer. The camera should activate (The LED should come on. Blue first, then red and stay red) and you should see "USB" in the LCD display on the back of the camera. Your computer may indicate new hardware found or may ask you what to do with files on a USB storage drive, which is what the camera will be read as. Do what you need to do to answer your computer so it will recognize the camera. Afterward, you should be able to transfer your memory card contents onto your computer. Once you have confirmed transfer, format the camera storage card so it is empty for the next round of photos/video. Hopefully you have this working by now, but just in case someone else has the same issue.

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.
