copy photos from computer to SD card

Help, please!
I want to copy photos from My Pictures (computer is XP) to an SD card so I can use my camera (Canon Ixus 70) to show them when I am away from home. I've managed to transfer the desired pics to the card (in a card reader plugged into a USB) but when I put the card back in the camera it doesn't show them.
The pics I am trying to transfer were taken by the same camera!!
Any advice would be much appreciated!

can you select the folder in the camera that the pictures came from your computer??

the camera probally stores the pictures in a default folder which you cant change. And you have to place them in the same folder in the SD card for the viewer in the camera to select them

Buy a portable USB stick

Stick it in your pc, laptop, whatever. Go to the relevant drive, say Drive J; open it up. Go to my pics, drag your pics over to Drive J, and hey presto, you have your pics on that little stick to carry round with you.

Better still, shove them on a CD. Can't see why you're trying to show your pics to peeps while in the camera.

You could get one of these:

And connect your USB stick to it. Or use the internal SD card...

they may not be showing on your camera as it might require your pictures to have a certain filename...... for instance on my camera my images are labeled DSCF followed by a few numbers, I just tried then and copied an image over to my memory card, with it just simply copied with default file name it never showed up, I then renamed it to match my current photos fileames and got read error so it could be a case of it only reads images of certain attirbutes.... it might be the same for your camera maybe not I don't but this is just my 2 cents worth

Take a picture with your camera then put the sd card in your pc to see what folder the picture you have just taken has been saved to then put the pictures in the same folder on the sd card. If that makes any sense to you. If that doesn't work have you renamed the pictures when you had them on your pc?

Thanks all
Renaming the files did the trick-and copying them into the same folder in the camera as the other pics were in! The camera still wouldn't accept pics that were in portrait mode as opposed to landscape mode--(i.e.tall rather than wide if you know what I mean), but accepted them if I rotated them first!!
I use the camera to show the pics on other people's TVs as more people have a TV than a computer. I use a long AV cable so I can sit in a chair while doing it!--why haven't remote controls been provided yet for those (many?) of us who now just use their ordinary cameras for their daily video footage?
I used "search" to find all my IMG photos only to find every single pic is in my computer twice!!!
Is there any way of deleting the "doubles" without doing it one by one?
You solve one problem and find another!-such is life!!
