If the cuddeback is like everything else, you cannot leave the flash card in the camera to download the pics. The cable that came with the camera is only for use with the internal memory of the camera. Check to see if your computer has a place for your flash card, if not, if you have a newer printer that accepts flash cards for digital cameras you can use that to download the pics. It won't work by plugging the cable into the camera with the flash card in. I believe you can buy a flash card converter for about $20. You plug the flash card into it and then the converter into the computer and you are in business. Hope this helped.
