Use panasonic rechargeable batteries... I had the same prob, but after panasonic it works fine...

That happens to me once in a while...Just when I feel like throwing in the towel, it starts working again! But I am actually having a problem right now: Even with fully charged batteries, the camera goes into "low battery" mode when I turn it on, and right now I can't download some really important pics...ARGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

you're using the wrong type batteries

Usually down to the lens block assy being faulty.Is the lens retracting and opening properly?.It usually turns out to be worn gears in the lens drive assy or the result of a fall.Either way will be expensive repair!My advise is check and see whether camera is covered by insurance for accidental knocks.,

This looks like a Mac USB problem. Is there a Mac forum website for you to consult?

About the HS10 autofocus problem, I discovered the cause and solution. It is a problem of camera design, and is caused by three screws securing the CCD sensor. These screws are not properly secured and the vibration eventually dropping. In two cameras with the same defect, the screws were loose. These screws adjust the sensor position relative to the lens and the sensor is loose when out of position not allowing proper focus. The solution is to disassemble the camera and secure the screws. These screws can not be too tight they need to be adjusted to position the CCD sensor correctly. The camera is difficult to dismantle because several wires are soldered. Care must be taken to discharge the capacitor of the flash, this may cause an electric shock and burn the camera board. Those who want to try the repair, follow the link to the service manual. http://elektrotanya.com/fujifilm_finepix_hs10_hs11_sm.pdf/download.html Milton Maenishi

Many occasions LCD on camera display never fails but back light fails unless physical damage to LCD screen. Hold a torch to display when camera is on you will see faint(black and white) image means LCD is ok but back light is failed, it's replaceable but needs little skill to replace. Or replace full Screen with backlight. This is easy. Just remove back cover, remove display by loosening flex lock, put back new display carefully lock it holding flex with one finger. Please do not touch display flex contacts.

Time for a new camera, these are not repaired just exchanged, so the price is high, just replace it.

Local friendly camera shop / manufacturer / Ebay

That should be possible - just Google the make and model, followed by the word software.

Why not remove the memory card and use a card reader attached to your computer ?

Try ebay.
