My kid is back from camp with her Polaroid A500. She had a 4GB card (which may be the problem, per you other answers). Hundreds of pix are visible when you view them on the camera, but only 7 appear when you try to move them to PC--either by removing the SD card or by using the USB cable attached to the camera. Any idea how to get the photos off? No pix appear on the camera without the SD card.

Well one option would be to download the images from the cameras internal card to your computer and then transfer them to the card. I have a card reader so it would be easy to do, or if your computer has a slot for the card that would work too. Or, just hook your camera up to the computer and use the image downloading wizard that pops up in XP. Or, if it doesn't show/pop up, just hook up camera to 'puter via cord & then click on my computer and you'll see the camera listed. Move image files & then you may need a card reader to transfer images to xd. Not sure why you would want to keep them on the XD card except to transport them around to another 'puter.

SOURCE: Camera turns on for a few seconds, then off.

A light rap with a knuckle when powering up fixed the problem, at least temporarily. Lens extended, camera works fine. Not exactly a technical fix, but it worked for me.

SOURCE: cant take picture. polaroid a500 camera reads sd protected.

It means the sd card cant be accessed unless you remove the protection . Connect sd to laptop and use software to remove the protection .

did you try to get another card or it doesnt take that certain card
