Keep getting error message when I plug usb into computer to download pictures
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

Unable to format the memory
Possible there are corrupt files or the card is infected with virus that prevents it to be detected in your PC. Also if the PC is having virus in the OS then it can show such an error.
You must try to see if the card is detected on another PC to confirm or check with another card on your PC.Only if detected can the card be formatted.
copy and then delete off all files before formatting

The battery must have run down over prolonged storage. It mayhave been stored while still on causing battery shortage. First attempt to power charge for full extent to ascertain if the camera is is in functioning order. Any unobservable faults thereafter equates to usually functionality. goodluck
