I don’t understand the workings of my camera. I have the small cartridge disk, but when I place it into my laptop—it’s registered as a foreign object. Also, I’m not sure if I’m missing some accessories…do I need a cord or is there a certain area in the computer to access for the camera? Thanks!!
I have two Canon digital cameras an Elph and a Powershot. They both came with a CD to install. Once you load the software on your computer you can use the cord and load through your usb port or try putting the card in the slot. It should recognize the pictures immediately and load.
Check Canon’s site for troubleshooting if these don’t work. If you don’t have the CD you may be able to find it online. I don’t think it matters which version. The Powershot software worked with my Elph.

youll need the usb cable which connects to ur camera to ur computer and youll need the software for that which comes with your camera but if you dont want to go through all that trouble and u dont have a usb cable then buy a card reader that costs 15-20 dollars u just put ur memory card in the card reader then u connect the card reader to ur computer i mean usb cables cost 30-40 dollars and it takes a while just to find out which one fits in ur camera the card reader is much easier
