If you managed to press the lightening cable form a iPhone 5(s) or 6 into the camera's mini USB connector, you must have broken the connector. I wonder if a repair is worth paying for, because the D60 is not that expensive second hand and a repair could cost over 200 dollar.
If you pressed the plug into the connector, some plastic parts must have come out, making it possible the metal contacts created a shortage. (Your battery will be empty by now) I can't advice you to do what to do, but I can describe what I would try if I had the same problem. First I would remove the battery, because some USB contacts could be connected to the battery. Don't make a shortage while the battery is still in.
Under a loupe with a bright light, I would try to pull out the plastic from the connector. Then check if and where a shortage is. I would try to undo the shortage and isolate the pins. Only then I would try to switch on the camera again, knowing I never could use the USB port again. If the camera would again switch on, I would again switch it off and remove the battery. Then taking care I would isolate all contacts forever, perhaps with some 2 component glue. Carfull not to connect points again. For transferring pictures I should use an external memory card reader and keeping the USB port closed forever.
It is a pity I don't have the D60 manual,because in the D50 the side where the USB connector is, is easy to remove, so you could even remove the connector from the camera, or disconnect it from the circuit board.

Everything hypothetical and don't blame me, if your camera never will work again.

I checked on iFixit, but they did not started a repair guide yet.

How to conect usb iphone in pc please tell me

Your iPhone should have come with a usb cord. First does your computer have a usb port? If not you will not be able to connect your phone to the computer. If you do have a usb port, plug in the smaller side of the cord and the larger end plugs into the phone. It is a plug and play and should automatically start adding a driver.

What make and model camera?
Not all USB ports put out enough current to charge a battery. If you're connecting through a hub, try bypassing it and connecting directly. If you have another USB port, try that.

I have a Nikon Coolpix 7900 camera I purchased used. It came without the proper USB cord, so I purchased one separately. When I attached the camera to the USB port of my computer (and I've tried...

I'm afraid that USB port has been damaged and is drawing excessive current causing the error message. You are at least fortunate in that your computers' ports are protected since the camera could have otherwise caused damage. Using a basic multimeter one could probably measure across the pins 1 & 4 to determine if the camera's input is shorted; it should in no case measure less than 5-6 Ohms regardless of lead polarity. The current capability of a USB port varies by version but is between 500 & 900 Milliamperes.

Where on the camera do I plug in the charger

If you're using the charger that comes with the camera, it doesn't plug into the camera at all. Take the battery out of the camera, put it into the charger, and plug the charger into a wall outlet.

If you're using the USB cord, it plugs into the camera on the left end (as viewed from the back).

How do i charge my camera so that i can explore

You can charge the battery in two ways.

Use the supplied battery charger. Remove the battery from the camera, put it into the charger, and plug the charger into a power outlet.

Connect the camera via a USB cord to a powered USB outlet. Be aware that not all computer USB ports put out enough current to charge the battery. You might want to consider a cell phone charger that plugs into a power outlet.

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 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 you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

Where does the USB cord plug into the camera? There's an outlet on the bottom, but it's not a typical usb camera port

If you have a mini USB D port on it, the small part of the cable goes to this, and the regular USB connection goes to the computer.

Do you have the right cable for this camera?
