I keep getting an error saying the camera was disconnected when I use the EOS Utility to transfer the pictures. I've updated the software and I'm sure I have the latest firmware.

Anyone else have this issue?

It could also be something such has the camera going to "sleep" mode after being inactive. I'm not sure tho as I have never used the cable that connects the camera to the computer. Your best bet would be to get a USB card reader and use that instead of directly connecting the camera.

No, but this is an excellent example as to why a card reader is much better to use. Faster, easier, and way less problematic.

That happened to me with my Rebel XT early on. It took a little time and some trial & error, but finally figured out, in my case, that it was a faulty USB cable. It worked perfectly fine with another cable, but, as the previous two have said, a card reader is a much better option.

You mentioned that you have updated the software and firmware; also try connecting to a different computer with the same cable, and using another cable (if you can obtain one or borrow from a friend), and see what happens.

When I bought th camera, the memory card came with a USB mini card reader. XP doesn't recognize it. I have a Vista PC that I will try it on tonight. Otherwise, i"ll buy a card reader.

Thanks

Check the camera battery - half-charged or flat?

Batteries are always charged. Rarely let it go more than 1/2. I have the grip so there's 2 in there.
