We've have just bought a new digital camera and immediately started taking pictures, then read that the memory card should be formatted before using. What now?

I've done the same thing, and usually it's no problem. Every now and then, the pictures will mysteriously disappear though. Buy an inexpensive card reader and see what's on the card. If you have images there, just transfer them over to your hard drive. Formatting is an easy way to erase old pictures that you've already transferred, but I've gotten by many times by just deleting the pictures using my computer.

How do you broadcast on the internet using a digital camera?

Question by 19 year old girl: How do you broadcast on the internet using a digital camera?
I have a Canon digital camera. I have the USB chord and another wire that has a black and yellow outputs on the end of the chord, opposite of where it goes into the camera. These are the only 2 wires my camera came with. How can I start broadcasting. I need step by step instructions.
(Do I need to download any programs?)

Maybe you can't. A digital camera is normally made for shooting still images or taking videos that are saved as files. Most of them are not capable of live video. Get a USB web cameras instead. By the way, who are you trying to "broadcast" to? You probably want a instant message program that supports video chat.
