My dad accendtially threw out the software suite to my camera before i could put it in the computer.?

What should I do so that i can upload pictures onto my computer? Is there a way to buy a new one without buying a new camera?

You shouldn't need the software that came with your camera to upload pictures. The pictures will be stored in a universal format, probably JPEG.

I suggest downloading google's Picasa software

Just look for Picasa from the list and download. (or choose "Pack" at the bottom for a bunch of great software)

Its free and a great product (probably much better than your camera's bundled software). It will automatically find and organize your photos, as well as help you edit them.

Buying a new camera sounds a bit drastic. You forgot to mention which particular camera you have. In most cases (but not always) you can download the software from the manufacturer's website.

Or, an easier alternative (without the need for software) is to buy a card reader and use that with your memory card and plug it into your computer's USB port. All files on the card can easily be copied to your HD, because the card reader acts as a removable drive.

You can use a memory card plus card reader exactly like a USB flash drive, meaning you can store and transfer ANY file type you like. This makes it convenient for sharing or transferring files to any computer (as long as it has a USB port).

check the website for your camera and they may have it fully downloadable. if not, call up the manufacturer and they could probably replace either for free or a nominal fee, since this stuff happens all the time. Also just to transfer, windows should have a built in program to do so. just plug in the camera and put it to whatever setting you nomrally would to transfer, and it should pop up. Alternatively, you can get a card reader (if your machine doesn't have one), and just stick your memory card in it.

As stated above, you really don't need the software from the camera maker, as you can use any image software. Go to Downloads.com and you'll find many free or free-to-try programs.

You can also borrow software that any of your friends have and install it in your computer.

go to the cameras manufacturer website and download it.
