Camera USB cable broken, please help.?
I have a Nikon 4600 (coolpix) and when I bought it (at walmart) the box came naturally with a USB cable doodad so that I could upload pictures to my computer. The cable has since been destroyed, and I cannot find ANYWHERE a replacement cable for it. Don’t tell me I need a EH-62B AC Adapter, because that’s not what I’m looking for. All I know is that this is a small black cable with a small thing you insert into the camera, and the other end is stuck into the back of my computer…in the USB port. I really need someone who can help me out finding out 1) What kind of cable I need and 2) Where I can order one.
Since you can’t find a new USB cable, consider buying a card reader instead. This will work with any camera you buy in the future, as well. I have a 4600 and I use the card reader that is built into my printer for that camera. I never installed the software and the USB cable is still wrapped up in the box.
If you get a card reader, no additional software is necessary. This is not only faster, but it saves your camera batteries. Your computer or printer may even have a card reader built into it. I have enough USB ports that I just leave it plugged in all the time.
First of all, be sure there are some pictures on the card. Plug the card reader into an open USB port. Plug the card into the appropriate slot on your card reader. I use Photoshop Elements and as soon as I plug my card into the reader, it starts its own card reader and displays a thumbnail of every picture on the card.
If this does not happen automatically, open your photo editing software. Do whatever you usually do to open a file, but click on the selector where you can change drives. Your card reader will be assigned a new drive name that will be one letter higher than you ever saw before, such as “Drive G:” or such. Then, just double click on the name of the file you want to open and it will appear in your photo editor.
