Answer 1

It could be a Firewall issue.  Check into the firewall settings.

Answer 2

Just buy a card reader ... about $10

You can avoid all the grief of camera to computer interface issues that can occur whether you are attempting to copy image files from $100 P&S to $40,000 medium format digital cameras to either Mac's or PC's.  Plus you will not be using your cameras battery power making the transfer.

I did an informal survey with some of my fellow pros at a recent meeting and all of them use card readers when copying images from memory cards to computers ... the new ExpressCard/54's ports transfer files five times faster than USB 2.0 ports.
