Camera is connected to the computer, but pix will not upload.

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 or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer.


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.

Use a card reader instead of the camera.

Oh, I had I this problem last week. My drivers were outdated and I used this software:

Can you get to the camera through My Computer, if so there should be a folder for videos. then you can copy and paste to where ever you want.

Computer does not recognize camera and unable to download pix???? It sounds like a bad usb cable connection. Try purchasing a new cable.

if it came with a USB cord, or atleast has a USB port on it you should be able to plug it in to the USB port on your computer and your computer should recognize it. mine does (different camera), and I don't have a disk with my camera either. hope that helps :) good luck!

Put the media card into a USB card reader on the computer.

when u turn on the camera is the view finder black?
