why are'nt my pics uploading to my computer? i plug in the cord the rite spot and i turn on my camera. i also have the EOS utility and Zoombrowser

retrieving pictures from my camera on my old computer worked fine. Ive done it so many times! But now when i try to put them on my new laptop nothing happens! i plug in the cord and turn on my camera. Thats when a window is Supposed to pop up and the blue light on my camera is Supposed to light up so i can press it and they transfer. I also inserted the cd it came with and installed everything on it. (Zoombrowser, EOS utility....). Why does nothing happen when everything is installed and my camera still works?

My recommendation is that you invest $20 in a USB memory card reader. Plug your SD card into it and your pc will read it as a drive. Then it's a simple drag and drop onto your mac and you can use any program you want to manage your photos. Then delete the photos USING THE PC and you're back to shooting pictures. Also, try Picasa. It's a much better photo management tool. And it's free!

Well, thank you very much! Is that really the only way though? It's just frustrating because it worked with the cord on my old computer and i am so broke i dont even have $20 to spend on that memory card reader :[

i'll mark your answer as the best if no one else can help me get my stuff working without having 2 buy anything haha.

thank you so so much. if nobody knows how 2 fix my problem i'll just go and do what you said. You are so helpful :]
