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.

Hello, i have a disney digital imagine camera but i cant get the pictures of? is there any way i can get my pictures on a modern windows because it wont recognize the divice in the explorer

If you're having trouble getting the pictures off your Disney digital imagine camera and your computer won't recognize the device, there are a few things you can try:
1. Check the USB connection: Make sure that the USB cable is properly connected to both the camera and the computer. Try using a different USB cable or port to see if that helps.
2. Install the drivers: Check the manufacturer's website to see if there are any drivers available for your camera. Download and install the drivers, then try connecting the camera again.
3. Use a memory card reader: If your camera uses a memory card to store photos, you may be able to bypass the USB connection by using a memory card reader. Insert the memory card into the reader, then connect the reader to your computer.
4. Try different software: If the default Windows Explorer is not recognizing the device, try using a different photo management software, such as Adobe Lightroom, Google Photos, or Microsoft Photos, to import the photos.
5. Contact the manufacturer: If none of these steps work, contact the manufacturer's customer support for further assistance. They may have additional troubleshooting steps or be able to provide a solution.
It's worth noting that Disney digital imagine cameras are relatively old, so some compatibility issues with modern computers may be expected. If you're unable to get the pictures off the camera using these steps, you may need to seek out a specialized service or device to retrieve the photos.

Acer aspire t 180 cant get pc to recognize digital camera photo memory card

Has the computer recognized the memory card in the past? If so, try download and reinstalling the memory card driver.

Get online and got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "Acer Support" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support). Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operating system when requested. Download and install the Card Reader drivers.



If after installing the drivers the reader still does not work, you can purchase a multi format card reader that will plug into you usb port from Tiger Direct for less than $15. at



http://www.tigerdirect.com



When the site comes up just put in the search at the top "SD Card Reader or XD Card Reader" depending you your type and press GO. You can sort the returned results by Price Low to High.



Do you have a USB Cable that came with the camera that you can plug into one of the usb ports on the computer? If so, try that. It's another way of getting pictures off the camera. Plug the cable on the camera and into the computer then turn the camera on. The computer will recognize the camera and install the drivers. You can navigate through the camera folders just like you do any other device to find the pictures.
