HI,
you have to give a little more info.
On your camera and the computer.

Typically what you are describing is time out. Common if using bluetooth or incompatible software.

Is there a button with a garbage can icon? That's the delete button. Bring up a picture you want to delete and press that button...follow the on-screen instructions. If you want to erase the entire card, go into the menu and find "format" ...follow the on-screen instructions.

You are not likely to find a driver for a camera that old. Why not use a card reader instead? Just pull the memory card from your camera, insert it into the card reader and plug that into your computer. It is simply, fast, and doesn't drain your camera's batteries.

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

Im sorry to disappoint you but when you format it ,this mean that you not just deleted all that you had on your card and camera memory ...but also made it raw and format the memory again on the allocation unit size...so...if you have the pictures downloaded somewhere its fine cause you have a chance to save them or even put them back on the card ..if this was the only place where they were present they are gone for good...
Next time save pictures before format ...even if you just shoot a few ...make a habbit to insert the card on a card reader and copy them on the computer or better on a disk as a back-up...or use the data cable to do that and beware ...even so if you cut them from the card instead of copy ....or if you click on the case that says delete after import ....this end up with loosing them from the card ...and only get them on the computer ...and even here they are not safe cause any computer can crash anytime and end up loosing them also ...so always back up ...or save them on a disk or even on a hosting site on the internet ...

Have you successfully used this card in this camera before? If not, you may have a new card that is too large for this camera to use, not all cameras can use the newer large cards. If you have successfully used this card in the camera before, you need to reformat it IN THE CAMERA to make sure the file structure is correct for this camera. When you reformat a card all the data on the card is lost, so be sure you have copies of all the photos backed up on your computer before you reformat the card!

Normally this is caused by not having installed the driver for the camera, the driver is located on the software disk that came with your camera, once installed the computer will recognize your camera, if you do not have the disk, try looking on the web in the manufacturers site in the support section to see if there is a driver download for your camera.

Hello. This is a common card. Here is a link if you wish to order one on the net http://www.skakawack.com/sd-2gb-pat-4907.html
Otherwise, take your camera to any walmart or staples and the clerk can show you which cards will work in your camera. Regards, Joe PS - kindly rate my answer. thank you.

Sounds like the internal memory has failed.

I would check with Polaroid about repairing it. An alternative would be to try installing a memory card. If it works with a memory card, then the internal chip is definitely the problem.

See if a friend has a camera that uses a similar memory card and just borrow it for a few minutes to test.

I installed the photomax software with the compatibility wizzard and it worked

Use to be an update for wondow XP. Polaroid don't have the update no more.

I have that very same camera and the male jack is a stereo headphone 3.5 mm style with hot-insulator-hot-insulator-ground as you see normal stereo headphone jacks. The opposite end is a serial female receptacle 9 pin that plugs in as the old serial mouses did. I don't know where you'd obtain such a cord or the proper pin-out diagram, but that is what it operates on.

no. Vista and windows 7 there are no update programs for these camera's
