Try 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). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
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 iPhoto.

I had the same problem and I just fixed it myself!
I: (1) removed the six screws from the camera; (2) opened it up; (3) simply jiggled the orange ribbon cable; (4) made sure the internal plug-in was in tight; and (5) closed the camera and put the screws back in. As soon as I turned it on, IT WORKED!!! Good luck!! P.S. I found this solution somewhere on this Fixya.com site, but I can't relocate it. THANK YOU to whomever posted it!! BTW, I originally took the camera to the camera store and they told me they would have to send it away for repair, and that I was looking at anywhere between $100-150 to fix. ~CameraGirl!

Take no more pics until you've recovered the photos, take the card out of the camera. Here's some freeware photo recovery software that should be what you're looking for:

You will need to use a flash card reader with this software. If you don't have one, get one, they're cheap:

More a compputer problem I suspect.
You could also purchase a card reader - kinder on camera batteries too

Simple fix...use a separate card reader to download to a folder you create on your desktop. Once there, you can move them to iphoto.

When you disconnected the camera, did you use "eject" or just yank it out?
