Hi Wendy, while there is no usb cable supplied the camera will charge with a usb to plug or computer.

Wifi is tricky and a little frustrating.  I downloaded Canon Camera Window for the Mac and it works quite well for uploading photos.  I use an iPhone se and the setup for the canon app, worked after a couple of tries but the app tends to be confusing.  one step at a time and eventually I got it.  The app is great for remote shooting off a tripod.
