Default Is there a Computer Nerd here ???

Hey, I have a Cannon SX 120 camera. Haven't used in 6 months. Took some shots today, went to transfer to home computer. Normally I use USB plug it in, turn it on and everything practically does the work for me.

I keep getting an error that the connection isn;t working. Its clearly plug in. So I fuss and fuss, and fuss. Even reinstalled software and nada. I know USB works, cuz I use one of the two for my mouse.

So then I take out my lap top, repeat above paragraph and everything works fine, just like its supposed to.

Any clues ???

I have, since I last downloaded pictures, added a Cannon Fax/Copier/Scanner.. Maybe a conflict somewhere ???

Please insert your expertise... Here........

I don't have to reply to every thread, I don't have to reply to every thread, I don't have to reply to every thread.....

No, seriously, I don't have a clue. I hope it's something simple and you can post pictures for us soon.

Good luck Brian;

Might just have been some corrosion / dirt on one of the tiny connections - since you did not use it for 6 months.

Plugging it in a few times might have cleaned it.

If it's a picture of jack, no one wants to see it...
Maybe the fish is to BIG for the pic?......

How many USB ports do you have? Possible your Canon Fax/Copier/Scanner took control of a USB port and that port is now dedicated to ONLY the scanner/copier. On older PC's you had to designate "Port #1" or "Port #2" when installing printers and such. On newer PCs w/ multiple USB ports, it shouldn't matter, but who knows.

You have to have more than 1 USB, have you tried all of them?

Brian-

Is the desktop's OS up to date? There may have been a new release to correct that issue. Have you tried different USB inputs? Sometimes just simply trying another input corrects the problem. I'm assuming that you are using a pc and not a mac? If it was a mac, you wouldn't be having this problem.
