Had the problem with my ipod where the pc would'nt recognize the ipod. cheers what normally happens is the camera gives me a couple of options when i connect to the pc , all i am getting is the normal screen where i take pictures I think it must be the cable thats playing up , but to be honest i dont understand why , its not been moved since yesterday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Imperfection 0 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Same thing happened to me and i spent ages reinstalling software,reboots etc,but turns out it was the USB cable. Sometimes im such a dipstick and dont check the easy things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it must be the cable , the instructions that came with it are useless so its trial & error i think, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Missie 1 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 You should be able to as the pc seems to have a card reader. Try some of the other usb's you have and see if they work, my camera fits onto the same usb as my old phone did... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes its a small end that goes into the camera & a normal usb end for the pc , i have tried it in all the usb ports on the pc & its not working so it must be the cable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
