I hook up my camera to my computer using the usb cable and nothing happens, is there a specific way for me to get my computer to recognize the camera as a device and is there any software i can download to help with doing this. I need to get my pictures off my camera to my computer! Please help
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.

If you turn the device off, when you plug it into your computer, it should show up as a removable drive and you should be able to use standard file commands to load, copy, delete, etc.

The cable itself might be to blame. You should hope so, since the alternative is not good news. These cables are pretty much standard and available in any Radio Shack or Best Buy.
If that doesn't work (and you can return the cable if that's the case), I would recommend getting a cheap card reader rather than using the camera and cable to import your photos. Your camera takes SD and SD-HC cards. To be safe, you should be sure to get a card reader that can accept SD-HC cards (not all of them can).
With a card reader, it's even easier and faster to import photos. You insert your memory card into the reader, which attaches via USB on your computer, and it shows up just like a disk drive. then drag and drop your photos where you want them.

Looks as if the usb device of your camera? is malfunctioning. Try putting in the MMC/SD/MS Duo card into a dedicated card reader to get the pictures and videos or in the other camera.
In this instance your USB cable is the medium connecting the usb device (camera) to your pc. As the other camera and same cable are working fine this means that both the cable and your pc's usb port are working properly as well. Time for you to change the device from which you are trying to read information from.

If you can get the pics using a card reader, why are you insisting on using the camera and USB cord? Pros always use a card reader.
