    Have you considered 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 iPhoto or any other photo cataloging program.

Having gone two months without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

Why my Nikon Coolpix L26 isnt uploading to computer via usb to PC

When you connect the USB cable from the camera to the PC, the camera should shut down. If it doesn't perhaps your cable is defect. Or one of the connectors, from the camera or from the PC.
When the cable works on another PC (or Laptop) you can assume the cable is good. But then the USB connector in the PC could be not connected, or the USB controller in the PC is not working correct.
Sure you did install the Nikon software on the PC to?

It will not let me put pictures on the computer and its not the cord because i tried a new one.

Nikon comes with a great deal of really good software for ALL Operating Systems. DO NOT have your camera attached and re install the software that came with your camera. You may also go to: http://www.nikon.com and receive a download of the software related to your camera. After installed, turn your camera ON - Then plug the USB cable into the computer and then into the computer.

Key Things To Remember:
- Have Nikon Software Installed
- Turn Camera On and set for Automatic
Plug USB cable into Computer and then into camera

Enjoy Your Photos,
Paul

I am a Mac user. How do i download software for my camera?

You don't need to download any software to your camera.
You can download the current versions of all (free) Nikon software (for your Mac) here.
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.

Nikon CoolPix S200 SHUTS OFF when usb plugged in

Did you install the drivers to the computer? And install the nikon software to your computer? If you didn't that is probably your problem. Otherwise you can get a cardreader and use it to get your photos on you computer.
