How to upload pictures from camera to computer?

I just recently have gotten the new Nikon D3100 camera for Christmas. I wish to upload my pictures from my camera to my computer but it won't let me. I would usually just put my SD card into my computer but when I do it says error. I even tried a connection cord but it won't pick. Yes, I even updated all my software but to no avail. Please help.

What equipment do I need for Flash photography?

OK, I have a Nikon D3000, a NIKON SB 910 and a NISSIN di622.

Let's just focus on my SB 910.
I want to be able to take photos with my flash being off camera and my built-in flash NOT working ('cause I know there is a way to make the flash work when the built-in flashes).

Which means (as fas as I know) that I need three things:
1. A flash trigger (this is what it's called right? http://www.photoanswers.co.uk/upload/9344/images/Flash%20trigger.jpg)
2. A flash stand image
and a
3. Flash shoe (image)

Here are my questions:
Are all these the same for all flashes? Or do I need to buy for ex.a specific flash trigger for my nikon sb910 and a specific shoe for it?
Do I need anything else?

Does transcript matter for photography?

I more than likely will not be going to college for photography unless I find I need to. That saying, I am pretty skilled photographer for being a highschool student. I am intelligent and responsible so please don't lecture me on that.

My highschool transcript for my first 3 years of Highschool is pretty bad, generally a C-D average. I was very lazy until the summer before senior year came when I realized I was in love with focusing on photography. Now.knowing that my transcript is poor and I won't have college education, will any types of jobs concerning photography be off limits for me due to that?

Keep in mind I want to focus on trying to be payed to do artistic travel(ish) photography for companies like National Geographic. Other options I'm considering is upgrading my Nikon into a Hasselblad H4d (I have a very decent income pay along with a nicely sized savings) and doing fashion/modeling photography or product photography.

Nikon or canon slr? Which is better for vids?

I need a good camera that will take good pictures and also has good video options. I have a Nikon d3100 and the video recording capability it has is not suited for what I need. I'm leaning toward a canon but need insight on which one is better. I'm also tight on budget so nothin above 750$.

Career choice need help?

So I'm struck between two career paths for now before I go to Uni, and I'm wondering if a service electronic tech for Nikon is good money, after progressing from my apprenticeship stages?

The other option is to progress up the career ladder of a betting shop.

I may not necessarily be in these jobs for years and years but for now, I'm stuck with my decisions and what may benefit me more in the future.

The Nikon apprenticeship lasts 1-2 years and the William hill betting shop career will be for 3-6 months until I can progress to a deputy manager.

Working for Nikon ill be doing repetetive repairs on cameras, working for William hill ill be sitting in a shop talking to regulars taking bets everday. Nikon is more money and I'm 20 years old thinking of Uni in September if that matters (not to study business or electrics)

What are good photography books for enthusiasts?

Preferably books about still life, black and white, portraits and people. I really like still life and B&W shoots but I really need to up my game on portraits and people since I also photograph family during occasions. Oh and if they can be downloaded from the internet as well. Author and books title and content would be very helpful. I am not studying photography but I really love to shoot. I have a Nikon D3000 for now and a 35mm lens and external flash.

Sell my Nikon D7000 for Olympus OM-D E-M5?

I recently purchased a D7000 and I more than satisfied with the results. But when I found out about the E-M5 I was really convinced. I know the D7000 will probably slightly rule the OM-D in terms of several specs, but after using the D7000 and bringing it on vacations, I found out that the weight is in fact an issue. I like the E-M5 for its pure lightweight structure and solid performance but I'm not so convinced with its price right now.
So, should I sell my D7000 now, then wait for the E-M5's price to drop?
Is selling my camera on Craigslist a good idea? (Of course I will expect cash only)

Thanks in advance.
