Having gone over ten months without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader instead of a cord solved the problem.
SOURCE: what kind of cable or cord do I need to down load
USB with the end that matches your camera. Try any shop that sell Canon Cameras

Have you considered NOT connecting your camera to your computer? The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries. Even if you have to buy a card reader, it's not going to cost you any more than a USB cord.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any cataloging program.
Thank you I never even considered to just drop the card into my computer to
