Can't connect Powershot SX510HS to computer

Blakedeam — Wed, 21 Jan 2015 23:52:42 GMT

I am trying to connect my powershot to my computer using WiFi, I have the canon utilitys installed on my computer along with imagebrowser, The wifi connection setup has been done and said it was succesful.

My camera is connected to my wifi and i am able to connect it to my android phone just fine, When searching for my pc it fines it just fine when i click it it says "connected device: Blake" and says connecting at the top. It just does that until a message comes up saying failed to connect.

Is there something I am not doing?

I solved my problem last night. When I chose computer and it found the wifi and the computer name appeared, I selected the

computer name. At the same time I had control panel opened on my computer to add hardware, add a device. The computer

found the camera and installed the driver. The camera still couldn't make a connection but I did the same procedure again and this time CameraWindow came up (which I had previously installed from Canon's website) and asked me what I wanted to do. I chose upload all pictures and everything went fine.

Hi Blakedeam,

Are you connecting to your computer through a router or are you connecting with a direct ad-hoc connection?

Thank you, Janatar. It worked for me also. The only problem I have is that CameraWindow disconects fast, so I can not import all images. Any solution for that?
