Hello,
For some reason, my computer can no longer read my camera. When I plug in the cable, the camera screen switches and iPhoto pops up, but no camera appears in iPhoto. I have a Canon Powershot SX720 HS.
Thanks!

Try a new cable. They have been known to fail without any signs of visible physical damage. Get a quality USB data cable, not one of those USB “power” cables that they sell at gas stations.

I tried a different cable and the problem persists. Which means it's the camera or iPhoto...

Along that train of thought, I restarted iPhoto and now it's working. Problem solved?

I am having same problem. Got a new cable and no change. Uploads to my laptop with either cable but not my desktop. Was working perfectly two weeks ago. I think this camera has a variety of software issues.

I have the Powershot SX40 HS(purchased in 2012) and it also just stopped connecting to my computer for no reason after many years and times of transferring photos. I have tried everything. I have tried numerous cables, called the support center (no help), etc.
I am going to get a new cable today, but any ideas out there? If you say turn off the WIFI - I don't even know if my camera has that - and if it does - how do you do that?
