Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to transfer 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.

How do I fix" transfer error" when trying to transfer photo?

Consider 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, 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.

How do I upload photos to an iPod Touch from a computer without iTunes?

<p>To update the music, videos and contacts stored on your iPod Touch, you must use iTunes or an equivalent program. Although it is possible to manage your photos via iTunes also, you do not use the program to do this. Transfer photos from your computer's hard drive directly to your iPod Touch using Windows Explorer. <br /> <p><br /> <p>1. Connect the iPod Touch to your computer using the USB cable. Close out of iTunes opens automatically - you will not need to add photos. <br /> <p><br /> <p>2. Open the Start menu and click on "Computer". Click the name of the iPod Touch with the rest of the drives on your computer and double click on "Photos" for the iPod Touch to access "Camera Roll". <br /> <p><br /> <p>3. Click the "Start" menu and click "Computer" back half "Windows Explorer" windows open. Navigate to the location on your computer where you want to transfer photos or located, all you want to transfer, right-click anywhere on the folder and click "Copy." Close the window. <br /> <p><br /> <p>4. Return to your iPod Touch open the "Pictures" folder. Right-click the folder and click "Paste" to copy the photos to your device. Disconnect the device from Windows will tell you once the transfer is complete, and then you look at the camera rolls for the photos you added appears in the visible. <br />

File Error now shows in camera for rotated photos from PC.

The camera will not display photos that have been edited by something else. Rotating counts as editing. Just opening a photo and then saving it without doing anything else counts as editing.

Downloading to computer

Hmm perhaps the USB Cable has dust in it. Have you tried blowing into the ends to clear any dust?

"Failed to Connect to Camera." -- Serial connection

The "Camera not connected" error message indicates a communications problem in the serial port connection between the camera and the computer. Simply put, the computer cannot find the camera it is being asked to connect with. Whenever an external device (digital camera, scanner, Palm Pilot, etc.) is connected to a computer through its serial port, a communications error is possible. There is usually no single "most likely" reason for the conflict -- it could be a hardware issue as easily as it could be a software issue.
