[QUOTE="junodog, post: 1110394, member: 171634"] Yeah, I knew it takes a lot of battery power, but I didn't think it would take so much power from the computer itself. Guess it makes sense, though. Sadly, I'd have to buy a new cord, since I got the camera second-hand from my parents and I don't even know if my camera came with an auxiliary cord (though it has a DC jack that says 3 volts by it, so I'd assume it would have) and if it did, it's probably been lost for a long, long time. I'd forgotten that my university's bookstore has a decent computer technology section, but I was in there for other things and then I saw the section and decided to ask about option 3. I found a powered USB hub there ([url=http://www.macally.com/en/product/ArticleShow.asp?ArticleID=221]this one[/url]) and I've connected my camera again just now. The "USB over current notice" window didn't pop up this time, but sadly, the camera didn't register at all. I tried the other USB devices I have again (ipod, tablet, DS charger) and they all seem to work, but then when I tried to plug in my camera while my ipod was plugged in, it... interfered with the ipod's connection, I guess you could say? I got the "device was not properly removed" window the minute I plugged in my camera, and the ipod was no longer appearing under devices. I'm not really sure what that's all about, but it's not a huge concern to me since the ipod is fine and it's only the camera that causes it to happen. The main problem is that my camera still isn't appearing under devices and I can't transfer photos, so once again I'm thinking that the problem is with the cable (or possibly the camera itself, but it's running fine, so I dunno). Guess I'll get an SD card reader and just give up on transferring directly from my camera to the computer. Anyway, thanks for all the help so far. I'm especially glad you suggested getting a powered USB hub, as this way I can actually have more than two devices connected at a time, which is definitely going to make life more convenient. I'll probably buy a card reader this afternoon. [/QUOTE]
