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

they work better with rechargeable

For the person who said this cam does not record sound you are wrong it is not the best but does record sound.

Test your batteries and attempt to turn on the device. You shouldn't need to use a USB to USB micro slim cable

Check if they are the ones that fit to this exact camera. Sometimes cameras don't "read" random batteries and they have to be the one's that the manufacturer says (check the manual).

Did you check if the batteries are inserted correct? + to + and - to - Also it could be you have the wrong batteries. Depending of what you use, always be sure all batteries are the same, charged and suited for your camera. Most of the time even new Ni-CD rechargeable batteries won't work, because the voltage is to low, according to Ni-MH or alkaline batteries. Checking the voltage of every cell with a multimeter could tell you for sure the batteries are good. Voltage should be jus above the voltage printed on the battery when measured. Never use manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries, because they don't have enough capacity to let a camera work correct.

try taking your sim card out of the camera, and put in your laptop. i hope that works.

Press the Playback button (marked with a right-pointing triangle).

Bear in mind that the Vivitar 5022 does not charge batteries. It uses standard AAA batteries. If you want to use rechargeables, you must charge them outside the camera using any AAA recharger such as those available at just about any department, electronics, or office-supply store.
