Upload Pics From A Polaroid Digital Camera Without The Software

If you have misplaced your camera's software disc you can still upload your pictures.


While the software that arrives bundled with your digital camera is supposed to be helpful it can often cause your computer to run slowly, making the picture transfer process more time-consuming than it should be. And some software may not be compatible with your computer operating system. Or you may have misplaced the installation disc. In any case, there is a simple way to upload your digital pictures from your Polaroid camera without having to run the software.


Instructions


1. Connect the small end of the USB cable to the corresponding port on your Polaroid digital camera (located under a plastic tab on one side of the camera body). Insert the other end of the cable into one of your computer's USB ports (small and rectangular in appearance and located on the rear, side or front panel of the computer).


2. Open "My Computer" by double-clicking the icon on your desktop or selecting it from the "Start" menu. Locate your digital camera under the "Removable Disks" section --- this will provide you access to your camera's media storage card. The drive is usually labeled with the letter "E" or higher.


3. Double-click the drive and find the folder labeled "DCIM." Double click this folder. Inside you will find a collection of folders, all of which contain your stored pictures and videos.


4. Highlight all of the folders you wish to transfer to your computer. Hold "Ctrl" while clicking to select multiple folders. Right-click and select "Copy."


5. Open your save destination (My Pictures or another newly created folder). Right-click and select "Paste."


6. Repeat for each folder of pictures and videos you wish to upload to your computer.
