If you can view the pictures on the preview of the camera itself then the pictures are safe. It is possible the photos reside in the INTERNAL camera memory rather than on the SD card. You may have to have the camera transfer them.

It is also possible that the SD card is NOT compatible with your camera.

What I would do is to procure a seperate SD card reader (they are very inexpensive) and remove the card from the camera and read it using the external interface.

NOTE: There are high density SD cards that are usually not compatible with older cameras... they are marked HD.

How do i download pictures from a verizon lg cellphone

There are a number of ways to do it. 1) you can use a cable that plugs into the camera and the other end of the cable plugs into the usb port of the computer. Most camera's come with this cable, if not it's a pretty common cable to purchase for less than $10.00. Once you plug it into both the camera and the computer, turn the camera on and the computer will recognize the usb camera device. You'll have to navigate to where your pictures are but that should be easy just open the folders until you find them. 2) you can buy a usb card reader than handles different types of cards. Remove the card from the camera and place it in the card reader device. Once again your computer will recognize the usb card reader and you can navigate thru the folders to find your pictures. 3) You can email them to yourself then go to the computer and open your emails and save the pictures.

I need to get an order form to order the part to help me download the pictures off of my camera. Evision 123 # 69A2S1CX0 05280

I could not determine what part it is that you are looking for, however I will still try to help you. It sounds like you are trying to transfer pictures from your camera's memory card to your computer. There are two ways that you can do this.
1. You can use the USB cable that came with the camera and connect the camera to the computer with the memory card inside the camera. Perhaps the part you are looking for is this USB cable to connect your camera to the computer and download the images.
2. If you do not have the USB cable that came with the camera, then you will need to take the memory card out of the camera and plug the memory card into a memory card reader. If your computer has a built in memory card reader then great, that's all you need; just plug the card into the reader and download the pictures from the card. If your computer does not have a built in memory card reader, you can buy one for cheap and plug it into a USB port. Here is a link to buy one from amazon.com which is a very reputable online store:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-SDDR-88-A15-Hi-speed-Reader-Package/dp/B0000AKVHF
Plug this card reader into your USB port on your computer and plug your camera's memory card into this reader. Your computer will recognize the card and you can download the images to your computer! Good luck!

I have a DSC-S650 sony cybershot camera. A few days ago I was able to upload pictures from my memory card via USB cable to my computer without difficulty. Now, my computer doesn't even realize my camera...

An easy way to find out is to try another cable. Better yet, consider NOT using the USB connection at all.

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 ( http://picasa.google.com ).

My olympus fe-45 won't download pictures through the usb cord. It takes pictures fine, but when I plug it into the computer, the camera screen says 'one moment' and it stays like that, and the computer...

This is not a full solution, but you might try another USB cord or a new USB 'hub' or simply another version of photo transfer. I have had good results with SanDisk's 5 in 1 ImageMate card reader and accompanying software. Used Targus but it stopped working. Went back to SanDisk. USB is wonderful but there are so many access points for things to go wrong, including the jacks in your computer. Have just fought this through with a set of headphones which had worked great for over a year and then stopped. Fixed with a new 'mini-hub' and plug-in audio controller which replaces my sound card. Now can use USB connections on front of CPU and webcam finally works as well as headphones (much better music) and photo transfer. $25 well spent. Can return new headphones I ordered.

Will not download pictures from camera to computer

I have the same camera. The little red light flashing is normal. It should flash for about a second and then go out. I believe the camera is reading the SD card during this time. If you turn on the camera with no SD card present this light should not flash. It sounds like you’re having problems transferring pictures from your camera to the computer. I'm guessing you’re using the USB cable that came with the camera to connect to the computer. I don't have an exact fix for this problem; it could be a defective cable or connector. However, I do have an alternative way for you to download your photos that I believe will work even better for you. Buy one of those mini SD card readers with the USB port adapters. The one I have is made by SanDisk and is called the MicroMate. Here's a link so you can see what it looks like. http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(2018)-SDDR-113-A11-MicroMate_for_SDHC.aspx When you want to download your photos just unplug the SD card from your camera, insert it into one end of the SD card reader, and plug the other end into a USB port. The computer recognizes it as a flash drive. Then you can just copy from one drive to another. I find it to be much faster then using the USB cable to download photos. I hope this helps you out.

Canon a95 camera not found in my new hp laptop to download pictures from camera to laptop with windows vista . disk downloaded the sorftware just fine and it brings up the zoombrowser. Do I need a special...

If you installed the disc that came with your camera into Vista and it still does not recognize the camera when you plug in your USB cable, one quick solution to get the pictures off of your card would be to purchase a card reader (approx. $20 here in the states). That is assuming that the computer does not have one built in. If it does, open the battery door on the camera with the camera off, and press on the card to eject it, put the microSDHC card into the SD adapter and plug that into your card reader into the SD slot. From there you should be ready to go.
