Trying to upload Pictures from a Canon Powershot A540 and nothing happens. Can someone Help?

Question

I have several different' picture editing softwares, as I have other camera's. I can't get it to even acknowledge that the camera is plugged up. I tried to download drivers for the camera and that was no help.

Answer 1

Buy a card reader and see if that does the trick.  You plug the card reader into a USB port on your computer, and then put the card into the card reader.  That is the way I do it with mine.   I never go through my camera.  I never even installed the CD that came with it.  By doing it this way, you will save on your batteries, too.

If you get a card reader that accommodates all kinds of cards,  you can use it for any other camera you have now or get in the future.

I have the same camera and just love it!
