I lost my USB cable thing which connects my camera to the computer. Where can I buy another one??

Question

Radio Shack maybe?

Answer 1

Radio Shack
Best Buy
Wal-Mart
Ebay
Circuit City
CompUSA

USB cables only come with a few different connectors. If you have an MP3 player it may use the same type of USB cable.

Good luck (try Wal-Mart)

Answer 2

Honestly, I would not use a USB cable that attaches to my camera..

If your camera has a memory card in it as almost every digital camera does now, you can buy a memory card reader.

All you have to do it take out the card and put it into the slot on the card reader and you will be able to load your pictures from there.

This is usually much faster and has several advantages. One being that you wont be wasting you camera's batteries while you download and also if your camera's batteries do die while you are loading the pictures there is a possibility of the card becoming corrupted and not working.

You can get anything from a cheap one (maybe about 10 dollars) to an expensive one up to 50 dollars.

The expensive ones are usually fire wire instead of USB and will be much faster if you have a lot of pictures to upload and you find that the camera is taking a long time to load them.

If your camera is 6 mega pixels or more and you shoot a lot of pictures, consider the fire wire. If not, its probably not worth the money.

Also make sure that you computer has a Firewire port. Many windows based systems still do not come standard with Firewire ports while Mac computers do. There are 2 kinds of firewire. Firewire 400 and Firewire 800. Just be clear that what your getting is right for you.

But for the majority of consumers, I would recommend a simple card reader that corresponds the the kind of card that your camera uses.

Many of the USB card readers out there right now accept many different kinds of cards so you should have no difficulty finding one that fits your camera model.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

I lost mine once before and got a new USB from Circuit City. Also depends on what brand you have and if the stores carry it. Radio Shack pretty has anything that you should need for electronics. Good Luck and my camera is a Canon

Answer 4

You can purchase a USB Cable Adapter pretty much at any electronic store. EX: Walmart, Radio Shack, Target, Kmart, Comp USA, Circuit City, and like I said any electronic store.

Answer 5

First you have to figure out what kind of usb cable youe camera has. Probably is standard but some have different plugs for the camera. Figure that out first, anybody at a RadioShack or Circuit City can help you out. Another idea is eBay. Type your camera model and refine the search to usb cable and probably you will find an inexpensive one.

Answer 6

Don't bother with the cable, just get a card reader. You can get one that reads several types of cards which might be useful in case your next camera (or your friend's) uses a different type of memory card. The card reader is faster and doesn't use the camera company's software, nor your camera's batteries. The readers are readily available, even at Walgreens. Good luck.

Answer 7

well you'd have to look at the port and find out what type of USB you'd need. but other than that, i wouldn't think it would be too hard to find one? where did you get the camera? maybe try getting a replacement from the place you purchased the camera from.

Answer 8

If you can't find one at a store,I'm sure you could go to the camera companies web site and order one!

Answer 9

depending on the kind of camera you should be able to get one at a best buy or circuit city

Answer 10

Anywhere. USB cables are pretty universal. You can probably even find one at Raleys.
