My Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT will not connect to my computer. I hook it up using my USB cable and turn it on, but it doesn't show up in my "Computer" file. I have tried and tried, reconnecting and rebooting, but it still won't connect.
Please discard that the USB port or the USB cable are defective. You can do it if you try to hook your camera in other personal computer using the same USB cable. If it works, then follow the next instructions.
Connect your camera to the PC thru the USB cable and turn it on.
If you are using Windows, go to the Control panel - System - Hardware - Devices - and check if there is any device that was not recognized by Windows. Such devices are marked with a yellow question mark.
If so, get into the device item and with right mouse click, select to update the device driver.
If there was not unrecognized device, then you can unistall your USB port driver and then run a change hardware status to recognize the USB port again, then run the update driver routine.

Same problem! I'm borrowing my brother's XT (mine was stolen along with my card reader last week) and although he always connects with the cable, it's not working for me. I'm working on a Mac.
My EOS Digital Rebel will not coNnect to my new computer. I plug it in and turn it on, and nothing happens, except for the negative beep from WinXP. I can't find any software installation that I need, so I don't klow what to do. The camera is pretty useless.

Do you have a USB card reader? I find it much, much esaier to put the card from my Canon into the card reader and read it directly from there. No messing about with USB cables, drivers, etc etc!
