Windows 7 computer does not recognize SX50HS when connected by cable

My computers, both of which run Windows 7, do not recognize the Powershot SX50HS when it is connected via the Canon cable. In other words, even after the cable is connected to the USB port and the camera's power is turned on, the camera does not show up as a device when you go to "Computer" and look at the list of drives, etc. How can I fix this? Thanks.

If you don't know run the software disk that came with the SX50. It has the correct files that your computer needs in order to communicate with your camera.

  • HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

    My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

    Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

  • Windows 'My Computer' does not recognize my iPhone?

    When I connect my iPhone 3GS to me Dell Windows 7 laptop 'My Computer' does not recognise the phone at all whereas iTunes does. The system just opens an error window saying "Device Driver software was not successfully installed. Does anybody know a solution to this problem? Or of any other way to get my pictures off of my phone?
    Also, when my partners 3GS is plugged in, he just recieves an error message saying USB Device could not be recognized, neither iTunes nor windows recognizes it.

    First try the troubleshooting steps here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Uninstalling iTunes will not cause you to lose any music.

    I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
    He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause.  Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
    In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
    Now, both issues are solved:
    Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
    iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

    When I connect my iPad to the computer, iTunes does not recognize the iPad.  I have had the iPad for several months now and have not had the issue.  I checked the cable with the charger and that works fine.  Went through what Apple suggested to no avail.  Any ideas?

    When I connect MY Book (4TB) to my computer before turning it on, my computer does not start up.  I only get a black screen.  If I disconnect the My Book and then first start up my computer, I am able to plug in My Book and read all the files, backup, etc.  Why won't the computer start when My Book is connected???

  • Itunes and computer does not recognize Ipod USB connection

    First off, I know this has been discussed over and over, but I am not getting any difinative answers so, I will start a new post. I have a Ipod mini and have had it for some time without any problems. Recently I added new music to Itunes and wanted to transfer it to my Ipod, but when I connect the USB cable it does will light up the screen to let me know that it has been connected, but it will not update the ipod and itunes will not recognize it and only a few times has it even charged the battery. I have tried to update itunes, update ipod (which didn't do any good since it is not being recognized), restored my ipod with play/menu, tried different usb outlets, and today I am going to get my sister's cable and try it. What am I doing wrong?!?!?!? I am going crazy about this. Thanks for any other suggestions.

    Finally, I got it to work again. This is what I did. I doubt this is what changed anything but I reset all of my settings back to factory settings on the Ipod as far as backlight, shuffle, ect. I don't think this is what helped, but who knows with these things. Then I plugged it into the computer and it did show that it was charging (usually it did not even recognize enough to charge). Then I tried a different USB cable from my sister's Ipod and the first thing it did was ask to update Ipod and I did (I had to to plug it in to the wall to complete update) then I plugged it back in my computer and it finally worked! My husband thought I was an idiot because I was cheering every time it recognized something until I was basically jumping up and down when everything was updated. For now everything is back to normal so I love my Ipod again. Although my sister will get my old USB cable back seeing that she dropped her Ipod in water and hers does not work at all. Which reminds me to start another post about that. Thanks for all the support.

  • My computer does not recognize the Airport Connection.  Please Help

    I just purchased the Apple Base Station and Apple Extreme. My internet connection is made through a DSL Modem(My carrier is Frontier Communications). I am having a very hard time getting my computer to recognized the Airport. Can someone please help me. Thanks

    Unplug the modem power. Connect an ethernet cable from the modem to the AEBS WAN (circle of dots port. Connect an ethernet cable to the LAN (<->) port, and to the ethernet port on your computer. Run the AirPort Admin utility. Configure your base station, giving it a name, administrator password, network name (SSID) and a password. Select a Configure option (ethernet or PPPoE, fill in any ISP information. Update the base station. Disconnect your computer.
    Shut Down the computer. Make sure your AirPort Extreme card is firmly snapped into its socket, and that the antenna wire if snapped into place. Boot up. On the computer, go to System Preferences>Network and make sure PPPoE is disabled on your Ethernet Tab. You should now be able to see your network in the AirPort Menulet. Log on to your network and see if AirPort Admin Utility can be run (it should). Quit AirPort Admin Utility.
    Plug in the power to the modem and run a web browser. Can you connect to the internet (you should be able to)?

  • My new computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone when connected via USB.

    My new Dell Computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone 5 when connected via USB.  I have reinstalled iTunes to no avail.

    Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
    I have tried a different USB to no avail.  Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue. 
    I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled.  Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs.

    If your iPhone 4 was running iOS 5, you can't install iOS 5 on an iPhone 3G which means you can't restore the 3G from the backup of the iPhone 4 running iOS 5.

  • Computer Does not Recognize IPOD

    I have tried everything I can think of and any help would be great.
    Narrative: I have two 60GB IPod, two 4GB Nano. I purchased each of them approximately 6 months ago and all have worked very well out of the box. About two weeks ago (I believe I can time it to the date of the last update actually) the two 60GB stopped being able to communicate with the computer(acutally, within two days of each other - not both at the same time). One day it worked great - the next I came up with a "USB device not recognized" error. I tried as much of the 5 r's as possible (I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, itunes, made sure I had up-to-date hardware drivers, etc.) The one thing that I could not do was a restore as the computer does not recognize the ipods there is no way to use the restore software. The two nanos consistently have had no issues (other than not being able to hold all the information I need to carry).
    I've removed/uninstalled the USB ports and let them get rediscovered - no change
    Updated motherboard BIOS driver - no change
    uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, etc - no change
    thought about really hurting the ipod - no change sigh
    Dreamed of kicking the ipod into the air Pele style - no change
    Details: 60GB Ipod, Dell Inspiron 6000, Windows XP SP2, Latest drivers (to the best of my knowledge). Cable is tested (still works on Nanos and I've tried all four cables that came with the four ipods to no effect). USB ports recognizes all other devices that are tested.
    I can't think of anything specifically that I left out but any help you can think of would be great. I have read through most of the posts regarding this issue; however, most of the threads have devolved quickly. About the only fix I have seen that would work is "you should have never purchased a PC in the first place, get a Mac and it will work fine." This is, of coure, not an option.

    hiya!
    hmmmmm. that model is a Dell notebook, isn't it?
    if so, we'd better quickly check on this possibility:
