Not uploading. My computer isn't picking up the camera when I connect the USB. Didn't do any damage to the camera or computer so don't know what happened. I tried on my Mac and then on my PC, and still nothing happened.

You neglected to specify how you're trying to upload your videos so I can only give general hints.
First, make sure you're using a program that recognizes videos. If you're using a program designed to copy photos, that's exactly what it will do -- copy photos. Videos aren't photos, and such a program will ignore them.


The best way to download pictures and videos 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 and videos from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or, as I suggested earlier, use a program that recognizes both photos and videos, such as Nikon Transfer.

You don't need a CD to upload pictures to a 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).

Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

You'll have to use the USB cable that should have been provided with your camera to plug it directly into your computer. Then you should be able to see both the memory card and the internal memory as if they were two separate cards on your computer. If you get a connection established by the cable (meaning the cable isn't damaged) but you don't see the internal memory, you may need to look for software to install before you can see it. But plug it in first and see what you find. Good luck!

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

I don't know how long you had this problem nor when it started.
I don't know that it is a poblem, and I don't know if it can be fixed.
Too many variables: the camera, the USB plugs, the USB cable, the software, the possible interference, and so on.

Have you tried to upload the pictures and videos using a card reader?

Have you tried turning the camera off, then hooking up the cables, and then turning the camera on?

You need to reinstall the driver that will make your computer to see your camera. The driver for the hardware must have been corrupted, re-installing this driver will solve the problem. if you have a cd application that came along with your camera, it will be better if you use that to repair the damage driver by installing the software unto your system. Thanks

My computer usually prompts me to uplaod photos when my camera is connected but it isn't doing that anymore. Why won't it upload my photos anymore?

You must have a USB cable to connect from your camera into one of your USB ports on your computer.Once you connect these windows will automatically ask you how and where to you want to load your pictures to on your computer.You can choose all pics or pick out the pics you want to load to your PC.
