I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop with Windows XP. I also have a JVC digital recorder that can take snapshots. I can take rudimentary photos with the recorder. When I tried to hook up the recorder with the USB, it wasn't recognized by my computer. Has anyone had any experience with this? I wonder if there is anyway to hook up the two or maybe they are incompatible? Short of just buying a regular digital camera to post club condition pics for trading etc., anyone have any tips to use what I have?

Most modern equipment with a USB cable should be recognized -- if only as a storage device ( photos are files in a storage device ).

Just to be sure, you are using the provided cable.

The camera is turned on. Required for most devices. Only flash storage does not need (or have) power.

The USB outlet is powered. Some devices need to be attached a powered USB outlet. They are ones in the computer itself or ones that have a separate AC cord and generally a led indicating the power is on.

Finally, there may be software need/provided with the camera. Generally this is need for editing images -- but not for collecting the files off the device.

Thanks for the reply. I tried it again with the power turned on, but nothing. I was able to connect an ipod before, but, I seem to remember that not all the ports worked. I tried to enter the control panel to enable all the ports and they were already enabled. From what you say, the device should activate a icon on the desktop when I plug it in. Any more suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Have you installed camera drivers on the laptop?
How are you checking for recognition? Are you expecting a drive to appear in "my computer" or are you loading your editing software and its not showing there? have you looked in the windows XP camera and scanner wizard to see if it shows in there?

My work laptop is a Toshiba Tecra and have occasionally run into this. One thing you can try is to look in the Device Manager when connected to see if the camera is already recognized (but, of course, doesn't show up anywhere else). It may mean that it has some old or incorrect drivers. If so, try uninstalling the drivers, then reinstall new ones that come with your camera. Make sure you follow the driver installation instructions; the mfg may want you to install the drivers before you connect the camera, sometimes after.

I have a Toshiba Satellite, too. Are you sure it doesn't have a card reader on the front of it? Mine has one just in front of the left click button.

Good Luck.

It depends on what camera you have, does the snapshots go on a SD card? My canon HV30 is HDV and works using HD tape so not all cameras have the SD card facility.

Did you try any of the suggestions in this thread?

Thought I'd mention this - its also possible that you need to enable a disk mode or usb mode (or something of the like) on the camera before hooking it up to your computer.

Your first problem is, its a toshiba. Just kidding, but seriously.

Update you mother board/USB drivers. Un-install any drivers/software that your PC may have installed. to do this right click My Computer, properties, hardware, device manager plug in your camera and look at which Driver it trys to instal, uninstall that driver.

Reinstall software for camera, plug in camera. Should work, or buy a card reader.

Its also possible that your cable is bad, I had a old olympus, on of the connections had crapped out and I couldnt get anything off the computer.

I appreciate all the suggestions. I am going to try all that I can. I originally plugged it in thinking that it would show up on the desktop somehow. It could be a major point that the device is actually not a camera, but, a digital video camera with a snapshot feature. The problem may be that these things are not compatible. Thanks for helping me get to the bottom of this. I am not even sure if the picture quality will be good if I get it set up, but that is the goal. I will try to plug it in, then restart for starters. I also went to the camera wizard section with it plugged in and my initial investigation was fruitless. I got to some information about Win. XP readable equipment that was good to buy and mine wasn't on the short list. I don't have any thing that might help this cause except the actual camera, the usb, a case and a recharge cord. I will try some of the suggestions, then give an update.

I had the device plugged in. When I was looking to see if it had a card or just the tape, I ejected the tape, a message popped up from the USB port saying that it didn't recognize the device or that it malfunctioned. We are making progress at least. I don't have any software for the video camera and I am thinking this is the final anser. Restarting it was a no-go. Trying this before I bought an actual camera was my goal and I thank everyone for all the help. I am assuming that if I buy a new camera it will have software and drivers to install so that it can be recognized by my computer. With my older model computer is there hope with getting a camera that with drivers/software will be recognize, it has Win. XP so not too old.

Upon real close inspection I found a hidden feature that blended into the molding. It was a card slot on the video camera. There was no card in there so I think that if I get a card I will be able to see if the quality of the snapshots my video camera takes is any good. I will do this by placing the card in my computer.

Having a memory card to store the images is a good starting point.

Some of the video camera have very nice lenses on them and have a reasonable pixcel area -->> NTSC has lot of pixcels. I forget the number. HDTV is 2x (at least ) bigger. The video receiver has to have that many pixcels.

I was surprised at my Sony. Granted, there are a lot of SLR features missing -- but not a bad image.

Thats good news. What I am dealing with now, is the card with images on it not being read by my computer. It has a SD card reader. That is the kind of card I got. The only message I got from the computer when I inserted it was that it wasn't on the approved Win Xp list. After that, when the card was in, on the screen in my computer it said insert now. I would love to get this to work, but, I my have to actually call my computer guy. Maybe there is some software that I need.

Here is some information from another site. A later reply said this worked.


Google around with the information on the card itself. The brand, card name and size and with and without windows. I know the SD cards are evolving -- I have one from a camera that my card reader hub will not accept.

It sounds like you may need newer drivers for the adapter... See this other link: Becuase it's MicroSDHC - CNET Windows XP Forums

There's also a hotfix available from MS on this -

Hotfix for Windows XP that adds support for SDHC cards that have a capacity of more than 4 GB

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
