First off, you need to know what type of memory card your camera needs - it should tell you on the instructions. If it is a common SD card, many stores sell these. The place you purchased your camera from should have the correct card for your camera.
To resolve the issue of a card that cannot be accessed in your camera, try the following steps: Make sure the card is properly inserted into the camera. Check if the card is compatible with your camera. Clean the card and camera's card slot. Format the card in the camera. Try using a different card to see if the issue is with the card or the camera.
The memory card is camera specific, however the camera itself is waterproof, and that includes the SD card slot. So any card which works with the slot will work with the camera.
how do i put my memory card in the camera, it won't fit
The card is locked so that it stays in the correct position for the camera to read the card.
you can put your camera's SD card in the laptop and go to 'start' and then to 'computer', and wait for your sd card to show and find your photos, and save them to your computer by sending them to your computer's pictures perhaps.
Take it to a camera card developing lab. Remember to ask for the negatives.

The xD card in your digital camera is a memory card. When you take pictures with the camera, the images are stored on the xD card so that you can access them later.
Your card needs to be in a card-reader, or the camera plugged into the computer with the USB cable that came with your camera... Then find the file on the card, which should look like a directory or folder on your computer, then just drag-n'-drop! OR use software that came with your Canon to get the video off of the card. OR use software that came with your computer to get the video off of the card.
If you insert the USB cord directly into the camera, and open the CANON software which comes with the camera it should be able to find the pictures.
Try installing it back into the camera and using the camera menu, find the unlock function.
there will only be pictures on the camera if you took any pictures before you put the card in.
