Hi, I have a PowerShot SX530 HS camera. I absolutely cannot connect it to my phone or my Windows computer. I’ve been trying for hours. I keep getting a notification on the camera that I need to set the time & date when I try to connect to wifi. The date and time are already set. I’ve tried restarting the wifi settings. Nothing is working and I’m not sure what to do. I’ve also connect the HDMI cord to my computer and it’s not detecting the device. I can’t connect this camera at all or get the authentication code. Please help!!

No problem. Stress can get the better of us at times. FWIW, I used to be a IT service support coach and MS engineer/trainer, so I am used to dealing with folks who are not having a great day.
I think both systems are valuable, TBO, and I don't have an issue with the cable. I personally find the process of removing the card and putting it in my computer faster and the download speeds certainly are because I can use faster interfaces. Particularly that is true with large files like those of my 5Dsr (52MP) and R5 (45MP) RAW files. I also like that I am not draining my battery to do the download.
Yes, there have been a lot of issues with folks being challenged with wireless connectivity to cameras - not just for Canon, I might add, but particularly with Mac machines. I generally stay out of those issues as they are usually not easily resolved and that does not make for happy campers!
