After you connected the USB cable from the camera to the computer, you did turn the camera on - right? And the batterry had enough charge. I have the same setup except on a desktop: Windows 7 professional, Canon PowersShot SX50 HS. A hint: Instead of turning on the camera with the ON/OFF power button, press the review button. Its to the right of the viewfinder window. This powers up the camera for viewing images on the card without activating the lens and auto-focusing stuff - saves battery power. Next on you computer, click (or double click depending on you settings) on "Computer". This should bring a panel showing all your hard drives, USB ports and the camera. Click on the camera to open a panel showing the folders or files on the SD card. Navigate down to the folder with the desired images; also arrange to have open the folder where you wish to copy the images to. You can right-click and hold down on a file to drag it to the "to" panel. release the mosue button. a small pop-up menu appears - choose copy here. Careful: Do not choose "move to here". That will make a copy in the "to" panel and delete the file in the camera.

Thanks all for your replies. your suggestion would work but unfortunately I cannot get a cell phone signal at my house, we are in a river valley. I could do the sending pix to my email if i'm on the road but that wouldn't be very practical. Through the links that Zep supplied I did get a Motorola driver installation program to download but when I hooked up the cell phone via the usb cable it would not open the program. The info I found says that the phone may have a wrong "mode" set and needs to be reset. I searched the instruction manual and tried to find setting of that type on the phone but it was a no go. Again, using the links that Zep suggested I did find the tool program I need for $9.99 on Amazon. I went ahead and ordered it, hopefully that will do the trick. thanks again

urraca- I see you live in Spain, so I don't know if it is the same for you as it is for me. I don't have Internet access on my phone. However, after I take a picture, I can immediately send it in a message, or store it and send it later. When I want to send it, I have two options on the menu: send to a cell phone number, or to an email address. Hopefully, it's the same with your phone. Good luck.

have you tried emailing the pics from your phone to your email address? then once in your email on your pc you just right click on the picture and select save as to save them to the hard drive. If you have the ability to have a memory card in your phone then that is the way to go, put them on the memory card, take out memory card, put in memory card reader which is either built in your pc or use a usb memory card reader to access the contents of the memory card. this article might be helpful Transfer Cell Phone Pictures Motorola V3 RAZR Â Transfer Pictures Step-by-Step Guide
