Pics not uploading from Coolpix camera using USB cable to Macbook Pro

Hello - All of a sudden pics on my Coolpix camera won't upload to my Macbook Pro. I use a USB cable and have never had a problem until today. Anyone else experience this?

Have you tried another cable? They can go bad.

If your MacBook (you provide NO clue as to what model this is) has a camera card slot in it, who cares? Take the card out, use the slot. Done.

Thank you, I will purchase a new one and try that out.

It's a new Macbook Pro 13". I see a slot like that on the side, so I will give your suggestion a shot. Thanks

Hello - I agree w/ the suggestion above - I've have several digital cameras using SD cards for storage (and have owned several more) - I always simply remove the SD card and insert into my laptop (previously Dell, now MBPro) - the software and cables that come w/ these cameras can be 'flaky' and not always reliable.

Also, if you're in the market for a new camera, Wi-Fi is also an option - my newest Panasonic Lumix has the wireless feature and sends my pics to my iPad via a Panasonic app; finally, SD cards w/ built-in Wi-Fi (called EyeFi) is yet another choice. Dave

Finally figured out what the problem was. IPhoto was asking for updates. However, everytime I tried to update I was getting an error code. So I called Apple Support and they helped me update from Yosemite to El Capitan which resolved the issue, updates and all.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Thanks for the follow-up, but still try just using your storage card to determine your preference - Dave
