You have to transfer the pictures and videos in the internal memory to your computer.For this you have to download and install Kodak software on your computer.
( Make sure the computer is connected to the Internet. When you connect the camera to the computer, the KODAK Software Downloader automatically runs. Follow the prompts to download and install KODAK Software.)
Please follow the steps below to connect your camera to your computer; 1. Turn off the camera. 2. Use the KODAK Camera USB Cable, U-8 to connect camera to computer. (Use only the cable included with this camera!) 3. Turn on the camera. After the software is installed, follow the prompts to transfer pictures and videos to your computer.
* If the downloader does not run, find and launch it: • WINDOWS OS: in My Computer • MAC OS: on your Desktop
Note: You can use the Memory card to save the pictures and videos taken on your camera.In this case you can also use a card reader to transfer your pictures/videos.This prevents the user from connecting the camera every time to transfer data.Eject the memory card and insert it into the card reader.

The Kodak camera dock provides automatic battery charging and automatic connection to your computer when the camera is "docked." There is also a version of the dock that includes a printer, but I have found the printer to be poor quality and very unreliable. The dock must be connected to the computer via USB, and the Kodak EasyShare software must still be installed. The dock is a very handy accessory, but it will not solve your problem. What might help though is a visit to Kodak.com where you can get a free download of the latest EasyShare software that is correct for your operating system.
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.
The Kodak Easyshare software just index the pictures they do not store them at all you can locate the pictures on the computer by
Click start then look for search type in in the search box *jpg And it will display all the pictures that you have on your computer
To fix the problem regarding the easyshare software try uninstall it from your computer Then download the clear utility www.kodak.com/go/clear then download the latest version of the easyshare software www.kodak.com/go/easysharesw
