My Canon Mini DV Elura 100 is not connecting to my computer via USB cable!! HELP MEEE!!!?

Question

pleaaaaaaaase

Answer 1

Then it is doing what it was designed to do.

MiniDV camcorders transfer though the DV port, using a firewire cable to the firewire (IEEE1394a, i.Link all the same thing) port on yuor computer. If you don't have one, install one.

USB is ONLY for transferring stills from the memory card or webstreaming (if the camera has this feature).

Answer 2

Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don't come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder.
