I lost my plug to transfer all of my pictures to the computer and now I don't have one.. how can I get one?

You don't need any software.


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.


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, despite what I said first, you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

You don't need any additional software.

Hi Wendy,
If you are using an external sd card, you can use an sd card reader. That is my favorite way of transferring pictures to my computer.
They are cheap and you can take tons of pictures in high resolution.
If you are using the on camera memory, you can connect with the usb cable to your computer and transfer that way. If you give me more info, maybe I can help. Here is a link to the manual for your camera.

You don't need any special software.

There are also plenty of other photo catalog software packages out there, some free, some not, that can transfer and catalog your pictures so you can quickly find pictures from Susie's birthday party, for example. Just do a google search for "photo catalog software".

If you really want to transfer your pictures from your camera to your computer, with a cable, then reinstall the Cd provided with the camera, that should fix the problem.

But in any case the best way to transfer what's on the camera is to take the memoy card out and plug it inside a card reader on your computer. You can buy one for less than 30$ if you don't have it on your computer.
Transfering the pictures this way is much faster, and it saves your camera's battery

My guess would be that your picture frame comes with some sort of cable to hook to the computer or a memory stick that will connect also.

You just need to plug both in and drag the files from the memory card folder to the picture frame folder.

I'm happy to assist further should you need help.
