I have a PowerShotA520 and i can't get the pictures onto my computer.?

Question

After i made all the connections, opened the software...it says that it can't connect to the device "device busy".What can I do?

Answer 1

Another good way around the software is to just get a SD card reader.  All you do is take out the SD card from your camera and put it the reader that is connected to a USB port on your computer.  The card will then show up as a new drive on your computer with all the JPEG inside.

Very easy!

Answer 2

Do you have a lot of pictures on it?

I know that I have a canon dslr, and I have to wait about 5 minutes for the device to fully load the pictures on my computer before I can even open them up.

My suggestion would be to completely avoid the software altogether...Instead, use the usb cord, hook it up, and turn the camera on...It will register on the computer...Then go to computer > (whatever drive you plugged it into) > and then open up the folder.

Loading the software wastes space on your computer, and its much more time consuming.
