I had the same problem witha printer/all in one. I wanted to put it on a certain place which was 12' away. I found a USB cable at Walmart (online with free ship to store option) for the cheapest price - of all place Walmart!. Last year I think I paid 9.99 for a 15' USB extension cable from Belkin. Works great.

Another (perhaps simpler and easier option) may be to buy a disposable digital or regular camera (Walmart, Walgreens, CVS etc) and have a disc made of pictures. This way you can load the shots to your computer and send them/download to friends, us etc. The digital/CD option (when you order development of the photos) is cheap and sometimes even free with a special sale/coupon. I do it all the time as I hate the fancy digital camera we own as it is too cpomplicated - plus I don't care if I lose the camera, drop it on the sidewalk, etc :-)

I think I recall my son telling me that you cannot plug USB's into each other to extend...something happens to the signal. They are not like electrical cords. There is a thing called a hub, which you can try:

But they cost $$ and a long cord would probably be similar in cost.

You can get long ones, and extend that way. That is what we have for my husband's computer, in the other room connected to our router.

Thanks to you ALL.

Mrs. D.

Exactly what kind of extension cable thingee do you have? How long, what brand? Thanks

Melody

ours is just a 50 ft long cord. Hubby bought it, and I don't know what brand it is...it is 2 yrs old or so.

Try Tiger Direct...online. They have good prices.

Okay!!!! I am learning!!!

Is this the one I should get?

I did the control panel, device manager, and discovered I have ENHANCED and that means USB 2.0

Is this the correct extension cable thing I should purchase so I can bring the webcam into the kitchen?

Thanks to you all.

Melody

Jo:

I went on ebay and saw the cheap prices, the buy it now for under $5.00

male to female, etc.

It doesn't look like the one on tiger direct that is $19.99

I just don't want to spend money again (like I did for my darn Portable DVD Player.

We ALL KNOW HOW THAT TURNED OUT.

The end of the one on Tiger direct doesn't look anything like the end of the one on Ebay.

Is there a difference.

or can I use ANY usb extension male to female for 2.0?

Thanks my dear.

I WANT TO MAKE VIDEOS OF MY SPROUTS IN MY KITCHEN.

lol
