here's the symbol:

Look for that symbol next to a rectangular slot. It will sometimes be on the front, but is almost always on the back. Things will only connect one way on it so if it doesn't go in, flip in the other way and try.

Depends on the model of PC. Some USB ports are on the front of the machine, and some are on the back, where you connect the monitor, keybd, and mouse cables.

Depends on your computer. Either can have them on the front side of case or on the back with rest of ports. Port looks like slim, rectangular slot with cool looking "three pronged spear" icon.

newer computers have some on the front, they are mainly on the back. they look like a small thin rectangle slot, usually more than one and are grouped together, usb cords only fit one way so dont try forcing the cord in, try turning it over and try again, should slide right in

It is on the back of the computer where you plug into all the other cables. Some computers have the plug on the front bottom of the computer. It should not be to hard to find.
