Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


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 or FireWire). 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 cataloging program such as Picasa.

You'll need to check your owner's manual for directions for turning that feature off. As for the pictures that already have the date on them, Photoshop Elements or any similar photo editing software can easily remove them. Also, if the date is near enough to the edge of the photo, you might be able to just crop it out.

Its a one way street...from camera to computer...not the other way around. Doing that will eventually corrupt the card and sometimes even the camera.

Every windows update changes the registry and sometimes causes our "toys" to stop being recognized. It happens to all of us. Pros avoid the problem by using card readers....you should too. 19e4d33.jpg

Hello, While importing the photos, I have check marked delete all option button.So after importing i didnt save the photos as a result my photos got deleted from the memory card. Can you please tell...

First take the memory card out of the camera. Pictures that have been deleted are probably still there, but will be overwritten if you take any more pictures on top of them.

Your camera is not able to undelete pictures, but there are programs for doing this on a computer. You can put the memory card into a card reader attached to a computer, and use an undelete program to recover the deleted files. Undelete programs are available for free download from the internet, try the one at THIS LINK

If the pictures are very important to you, you might want to seek help from an experienced person.

I need to import a pictures from my camera canon digital ixus v to my computer but i dont have a CD DRIVE.any way to access without CD?

Most cameras come with a cord or chip. If you can plug the cord in to your camera and into your usb port you can easily upload photos. The chip should also fit into your computer tower if you have a newer computer. The 3rd option is to go to a 1 hour photo and have them put the photos on a disk for you for about $7.99

Importing photos (previously successfully)stops

One way to solve problems like this is to use a card reader/writer. This will get your pictures to the computer from the card reader which appears as another drive. Most newer card readers need no drivers.

If you still want to use your camera to copy files to the computer, then you should uninstall the program and re-install according to the instructions.
