How do i get my camera to load???

Question

I plug in my Olympus camera to the comptuer, but i dont have the software anymore, but it doesn't even pick up that it's there.. Do i have to have the software or something?!

Answer 1

first of all, try plugging the USB in a USB socket on the computer instead of from the keyboard. some USB sockets do not provide enough power for removable media.

make sure your cam is on when you plug it to the computer.

these days, you can download almost anything. do a search for your camera make and model and you'll most likely find the software needed for your PC to recognize it. if not, you can take the memory card out of the cam and stick it in a memory card reader. the PC will recognize it as removable media.

Answer 2

If you have a spot for your memory card in the computer try doing that instead. That's what i do.  But if you don't have it then you probably need the software.
