Most digital cameras have a small internal memory and an expandable one (SD card). Are the pictures actually stored on the card or in camera memory? If on the card then I suggest a card reader device, if on the camera you need to connect the camera to your computer via its USB cable to access them, unless there is a way to transfer them to the memory card (not all cameras can do this).
if you did not have anything important on it throw it in the bin, there are companied that recover data from broken flash drives just google someone close to where you like (it's not cheep)
You need to get rid of the pics in the internal memory. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory. Then, insert your card and it should work properly.
The pictures are in the internal memory? If so you need to purchase a memory card for that camera and transfer the internal memory pictures to the memory card and then you will be able to download them to the computer. Your camera takes a SD or a SDHC memory card make sure it's unlocked and formatted to the camera the instructions for formatting are in your manual Here is a diagram to makes sure the switch on the SD card is in the unlock position Diagram
If the camera is recognized by your computer (as a Removeable USB device) and if you are using the Olympus [ib] software, the probable cause is Olympus [ib] software related. You can try to repair the created picture database using the Data Repair option in the camera menu (see the manual page 41). An alternative is to use a SD / SDHC card to put your pictures on and transfer them using the card reader in the computer. It is also possible to transfer taken pictures from the cameras internal memory to a placed SD / SDHC card in the camera (see the manual page 41).
if the camera has memory cards (sD or xD or MMC) you can download pictures on the memory card then use a memory card reader with your PC to copy them. memory card readers are cheep and should do the job.
Try take the card out, then put it back in fully. I've seen this problem before on an Official Nintendo GameCube 251 Block.
If there are saves on it, and it still asks you to format the card, just take the card out, and put it back in. You could also try a different slot...
Chances are, you just have to take the card out and put it in again for some odd reason. I've seen this fixing that issue.
I don't think any of the hardware, i.e. the GameCube or the Memory Card are damaged in any way.
Hope this helps.
