Christina: Easiest way to download, without the cable, is to remove the card (postage stamp size, beside th e battery.) Most laptops, printers, and screens have a slot that it will slide right into. Then, if it doesn't pop right up, go "Computer" then look for a drive that looks like DCIM, or Panasonic, or Pictures. Click on that to open, then drag to the My Pictures folder.To get a new cable, you should take the camera to RadioShack or Best Buy as there are many different USB small-end plug sizes.

well first off you need to know the format of the video,,,basically---.wav? .mp3? .whatever..haha. the pc should automatically open it in media player,,if not open media player,hit file,goto open,,,find your stick under computer/memory stick, and open from there,,,,,or simple way is plug in stick with everything closed,goto computer,,open mem stick,,hit control and [c] at same time to copy,,,then go into my documents,,open movies,,then there hit control and [v] at same time to paste movie to save it. as long as its a compatible format it'll open and play when clicked on....hope this helped

I used the USB cable that came with my Cannon Vixia and plugged it into my iMac. Then a disc image appears on the desktop. You can drag and drop the videos on the desktop, or have iMovie or quicktime etc to import the movies. Youtube has many tutorials about things like this, so check them out.

I haven't found a way to get SD or the USB to work for several formats of movies.

Two ways to do this. !. get a special cable, not supplied, and connect it to your computer via USB. @. I just take the memory card out of the camera and insert it to a card reader connected to a USB port.

There only certain formats that work when I use my USB harddraive to play movies. Try converting to from MP4 to AVI.

No I didn't. There are many format options for .avi and .mp4 videos. I used a video converter to try to find what was compatible; now I can't remember, as I lost interest soon after. I only display photo images now, and for that it's fine.You can have multiple 'albums' by placing each on a separate flash card. Using a typical USB multi-format reader with a card in each of 4 or more slots, plus the DP's own slots, you can select collections from quite a few sources.

Using a USB cable is an option, but for me it has been easier to just plug the SD card into my laptop. And on computers lacking an SD card reader, I use an adaptor.

The USB port only plays music (I believe in mp3 format) and pictures (in jpg). Movies don't work, unfortunately.

I tried just copying the files to my mac and was disappointed I couldn't watch the videos.HOWEVER! I opened iMove (while the SDHC card reader was still plugged in with the card from my FS100 in it) and what to my wonderous eyes should appear!? All of the movies! I could see thumbnails and play them.I just clicked "Import All" and it started importing them. My camera did not need to be plugged in at all :)

Have you been able to connect to your computer? I used their program but it is not even recognizing the device. I think their usb cable is defective. huh. I have had nothing but trouble with the pictures. the video direct burner is fine though, if you don't need to edit.

If I wanted to give this unit as a gift, already loaded with pictures that are now sitting on my computer, what do I need? Can I transfer the pictures to a memory card that I have purchased for the unit?

If it is connected to the usb via the cable, you should be able to see it listed in the My Computer file on your computer. If it is not listed in there, something is probably wrong with either the connector slot, or the cable. If it is listed there, you can just do a drag and drop from the computer file you have them stored in to the frame memory or sd card. If it is not reading the sd card then the frame is broken, probably beyond repair.

I remove the SD memory card and use an inexpensive USB adapter to download the files to my computer.Here's one available from Amazon : eForCity SDHC / SD / MMC Memory Card Reader to USB 2.0 Adapter, Smoke

There is a small disc came with the package. I do not remember if I had to put it into CD drive and load onto my computer initially. I have window 8. At this time, I just plug it into one of the USB ports. Click "micro-measure camera", then go to drop down "Device", choose USB 2.0 camera. You will be able to see the images.

Well, I just tried a micro SD in mine, and it worked. I'm running Windows 8.1. USB 3.0 also works. That's about all I use, but they seem to work.
