I want to download pictures from a Nikon Coolpix S8100 camera to my Lenovo Ideapad 320. I have plugged it into to the USB port and nothing appears on the laptop, although it indicated downloading.

A few thoughts:
Unplug the USB cable from the computer but leave it plugged into the camera. Make sure you have the volume turned up on the laptop and plug the USB cable in. Did you hear the "baloop" sound Windows makes when a USB device is connected? If not the cable may be bad. Test it with another device if you can.
If you are sure it is downloading and just can't find the photos do a Windows search for .jpg. You'll likely get lots of photos, see if any of those are from your current batch. Right click a current one and choose "properties" it will show you what folder the images are in.

Use a cardreader to download your pictures. Download them to a folder you create on your desktop. From there, you can do anything you want with them.

Some Macintosh computer systems support using a digital camera using SD/MMC card in two modes: 'Digital Camera' mode and 'Disk Drive' mode. At times, when try to use the camera using SD/MMC card in 'Digital Camera', it is not recognized by iPhoto or Image Capture. To solve such behavior, you might need to reformat the digital SD/MMC card and use backup to restore the lost files. But sometimes, you observe certain issues while restoring from backup or the backup is not available. To cope up with such situations, you should use Photo Recovery application to recover the lost files efficiently.
For an instance, consider that you perform following sequence of steps:

  • You connect your digital camera that uses SD/MMC card to a Macintosh computer in 'Disk Drive' mode
  • You switch to 'Digital Camera' mode and observe that the camera is no longer recognized by iPhoto or Image Capture
Similar behavior is also observed if you use FireWire or USB card reader to connect the SD/MMC card to your Macintosh computer and try to switch to 'Digital Camera' mode.
Solution
To prevent such errors from occurring, you should continue using the camera in 'Disk Drive' mode. You can then successfully access it through iPhoto or Image Capture. However, to solve the existing problem of the SD/MMC card, follow these steps:
  • Connect the camera in 'Disk Drive' mode or use FireWaire or USB card reader to access the card.
  • Backup all the files to your system
  • Use your digital camera to reformat the card.
Note: A digital camera using SD/MMC card uses different protocols in different modes so that to communicate with the Macintosh system. But it can only be accessed through Desktop, when connected in 'Disk Drive' mode.
After reformatting the SD/MMC card, sometimes you observe that backup is not valid and couldn't provide the required results. In such situations, you are suggested to use Digital Photo Recovery products to recover them. Photo Recovery utilities are competent tools to scan a logically crashed media using powerful scanning algorithms. Also, they provide interactive user interface that allows easy implementation

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 Nikon Transfer or any other photo cataloging program.

Cant download pictures usb

Take your sd memory card out of your camera, and put it in your computer. A file with your pictures should appear. Copy thoes pictures into a different fold on you computer. Take you sd memory card out of your computer and plug it back into your camera. Your pictures will be both on your camera and on your computer.
