Canon iMage app on Droid "Device Not Found" SX700

[ASTOW]

I'm trying to get my new SX700 to link to my computer (no success) and my Droid (no success).

The Canon iMage app is on the Droid and logged in/turned on/fired up.  I keep asking the camera to find it and get the Device not Found message.  

I was warned in advance this was not an easy app to connect to, so no lie there.

Any advice, other than reclicking and praying?

I loaded up the Canon iMage app on my Droid and installed it and fired it up.

I then went to the device menu on the SX700 and tried to link it up.

No go.  "Device not found" error message repeatedly.

I was warned this was not easy but this is getting rediculous.

Any help?  Some key step I'm missing?  Thanks in advance.

Thank you Shanna.

My question was, as you note, "designed to allow the community to help each other with issues encountered or tips they'd like to share along the way."

I searched the board(s) for help on this, found none, so posted it fresh assuming (a) I was not the only one with this problem (see some of the reviews on the Amazon and PC sites for the camera) and (b) others on the Forum may offer a suggestion.

I will follow-up with the e-mail support as well and, if that doesn't work, a phone call, although I hate have to call a help desk first time out on a brand new product.  Strikes me it should work or the steps necessary are outlined somewhere.

Appreciate your direction.
