My camera will not upload any pictures onto my computer. i have all of the correct software uploaded. it used to work correctly and now all of a sudden it will not upload anything.

Are you sure you did install the software that came with your camera? Without any software, your computer can't; even see there is a camera connected. Let alone get any file from it.
If you had the software on the computer, remove it and try to reinstall it. While installing, the correct driver(s) will be installed on your computer too.

This is a 12.1MP camera...if you have it set to take pictures that large, then the files will be huge...too big for the internet. You have to downsize them first...that's perfectly normal. You could set the camera to take lower quality pics, but if you come across one you would like to enlarge, it won't turn out very well. Why not continue the procedure you now use if it's working for you.

Time to start using a card reader.

If I understand you correctly, you put pics onto the SD card using the computer, then put the card in the camera and now can't see the pics? Is that correct? The camera won't recognize the pics because it uses a different recording system than the computer. Now if you want to take more pictures using that card, you will need to format it in the camera first.

Get a USB memory card reader for your style of memory card and use that to transfer the photos to your computer. That works better and is faster than connecting the camera which also requires the correct camera software to be installed onto your computer first. Avoid that with an inexpensive USB memory card reader.

What model of camera is it? If its a SLR like the one pictured, you might have shot the pictures in RAW format. You will need to convert them to a JPEG to upload to Facespace.

In most photo management programs you should have the ability to choose where you put the images when you connect the card for download to your PC. You should be able to right click on an image and there might be a 'Show me Location on Computer' option. This will tell you were it is located in your file structure.

All you need is some editing software, click here. If this problem is occuring after uploading to a website, try rotating the picture before uploading so the "problem" will actually correct the picture.

Try 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.

i try to upload photos from my nikon coolpix p50 to 'my pictures' by using my usb cord. it always used to work but not now. something pops up that says "please make sure the device is turned on and properly connected to the computer." i used the the same usb cord as before when it worked.

Go to a computer store there they should have a cheap/affordable usb cable or better a memory card reader where you can put your memory card into, it will connect to your computer/laptop and from there you should be able to upload pictures. and no you do not need to install anything at all. =) [email protected]
