TECHY HELP PLEASE - USB..........

[QueenOfQuotes]

OK so I've got a new (very cheapy) Digital Camera - and I'm trying to see if the I can download the pictures to my computer.

I've loaded the software - no problem.

I've got a cable to connect from my camera to the USB.......but I don't know which 'hole' the USB one is on the back of the modem......

Will it actually have 'usb' next to it - or do I need to know which one it is???

if you look at the cable you can just marry it up at the back!!

mine seems to be white

problem is it's really difficult to see - I can't pull the modem out as there's already loads of cables, on short leads - pointing out.

Shall have another look - thanks

not in your modem - needs to be on the 'puter. USB normally has a sign like a fork with arrows on it.

Most newish desktop PCs will have USB ports at the front and back. USB ports are about 1cm long and a few mm wide.

sorry didn't mean modem - we've got one of those 'tower' thingys

If your puter only has a single USB socket, (is your modem plugged into it?) You can get a USB hub (like a multiway plug extension socket thingy) - it plugs into the one on your puter and gives you 2/4/6 extra USB sockets.

dont think you meant modem did you..that doesnt have loads of cables!
I bought a modem adapter thingy!! Technical eh?
You plug it in the usb port at the back then this thingy sits on top and has 4 ports so I dont need to pull tower out any more!

What model/ make of puter?

I don't know what the modem is plugged into - I'm sure I've heard DH say something about 'ethernet' when he's been talking about the connection - but I'm completely clueless when it comes to this sort of thing.

what model - haha

it's one that DH 'built' about 3yrs ago.

the tower is an 'e-star' if that's any help?

it's ok - I've found it

didn't have to disconnect anything either

hmmm, can't help with that one.
this is the symbol and a piccy of a USB socket

well done!!!
blind leading the blind!!!
