Please help me!!!

I've been using my digital camera (Canon Powershot A75) for the last year and a half with absolutely no problems whatsoever.

Today I connect the USB cable as usual and my camera isn't recognized. I thought maybe it was a camera problem, but I connected it to my husband's laptop and it sees it just fine. I'm in the correct mode for my camera - I already checked this, too!

What could be the problem? I tried throwing out the preferences for both iPhoto and later Image capture, but to no avail. Both programs say "No device connected."

Any ideas! I'd love to download my pictures again.

Thanks for any help!!

you restart your computer?
try a different cable?
try a fresh (or freshly recharged) battery on your camera?

Sometimes, when you plug in a camera (or other removable storage device) on a Windows computer and don't "safely remove" it, it won't show up when you plug it into a Mac. And vice-versa. Try plugging it into a Windows machine and then choosing "safely remove hardware" from the bottom right of the screen (system tray).

Then, when you plug it back into your Mac, it should work. Always eject/remove the hardware before physically disconnecting it.
