Transfer Photo from Cell Phone to PC

18 years ago

I can not figure out how to get the pictures off my Motorola Razor X33 to my Laptop which is running Windows Vista Premium Home. I bought a USB cable today, found the user manual for phone, followed the steps to the letter. Got a message on laptop that the driver successfully downloaded. However when I go to the "removable storage device drive f" and double click on it (per phone manual instructions) it tells me to insert disk.

I have tried several times and nothing...........

I also tried Paint Shop Pro X2 to download, I get a screen that pops up that says "download from Motorola Razor...." select pictures and click on Get Pictures.......nope does not work either.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong? I tried looking on the Motorola site and could not find anything, tried to call my cell service provider but that was the usual push this, push that, No we will not let you talk to a live person routine.................

I have some very special photos on my phone and I would like to get them on my PC

This one thing is not clear to me. Did you install the Razor driver? My Razor requires the purchase of a special disk to install the driver. I already have a compatible cable.

I have researched a little for a free driver but have not been comfortable with those that I have reviewed so far. The Motorola Tech site is far from plainspeak.

Oh, no I did not purchase anything the girl at the AT&T store told me I just needed the cable. Plus when I followed the instruction to plug in the USB it then showed in the lower right of my laptop that it was installing the driver..........then it said Driver successfully installed for Motorola whatever...........I will have to try again and see what happens. I would not care except there are some pic.s of my family from the last time we were all able to go out together....I don't want to loose them.

Can I get Texts from phone to pc

I have verizon cell service and texting and no internet. I can forward a text on to my email address and it is only considered texting. I just input my email address instead of a phone number in the to field so maybe your cell provider works the same way with texting. I can also send back from my email as text. For verizon in the to field for just plain text you can use yournumber@vtext.com and if you want to attach a photo then you use yournumber@vzwpix.com. I know that you can also do this with AT&T service both ways, just need to now the @ part for AT&T because I have sent from email to a friends phone on AT&T that has texting and she has sent back to my email as text. I would thing other major carries can do this also. Mary

The email might not be the best option, depending on your connection. If you reduce the file size of the picture, you reduce the quality of the image. They have really inexpensive USB drives out now. I bought a 1GB drive for $14. You just drag your pictures over until it is full, then drag them into your MyPictures folder on your new computer. It is reusable - just delete them off after you have them transfered and do it again until you are finished. A CD will hold less than a 1GB USB drive. Large USB drives are available. Hopefully you don't have thousands of pictures on your computer - I have 10's of thousands! Make sure you learn how to use your burner and back up your photos soon - hard drives fail, no matter how new the machine - you are on borrowed time if you do not backup your pictures, and it only takes a few minutes.

Cat, Good for you, I turn 75 this summer, my wife turned 75 this month. If she was more mobile I'm sure we would still be riding bikes and hiking, maybe still skiing - we were doing all those things up to at least age 70 or more. I do house work and cooking as well as maintain a 5 acre property (not so good as I should given the time I have). On the tech'y side I just put in a new HDTV and am in the process of changing out set top boxes to get HD from Comcast - I have their minimum package and didn't need the HD when I had only SDTV. I also added Roku (I had that on the previous SDTV which works so well I hate throwing it out). The Roku 2 I have was easy to interface with my home WiFi - but I would have come here if I had experienced problems. Well in truth I did as I wanted to get Youttube on my Roku 2, not available directly but should be possible with the PLEX application, that's something I may think more on if I can work up the energy : ( On photography, I am still sorry digital cameras happened. I had/have a nice B&W darkroom set up and had designs of doing some "Ansal Adams" after retirement. In spit of my lack of expertise on the phone in the camera, I do understand photography better--than-average and have some sophistication in my digital camera arsenal. But I shoot mostly in the 3 mp detail (can do 10 mp) because I don't enlarge anything any more... have a lot from the film camera days. On things I don't get around to I have a 2 GBit SD card that I should put in my main camera...but put it off so long I now can't find it. Aging memory strikes again - as does sitting too much. I guess it's alright to chat with a GW Friend - hope so.

I have an Old Acer Android Tablet (Acer Iconia A500 w/Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich), but it does show up as my Tablet (A500) in Windows 10. I can then access my photos and all other folders and files on the tablet. My Phone is a Windows Phone with Windows 8.1. I have no problems whatsoever connecting with the phone either! I have Windows 10 on my Desktop Computer, 2 Laptops and my Acer Iconia W4-820-2882 Tablet. All my Appointments, Photos, Documents, etc... are shared between them without lifting a finger. Just hooked up the Acer Iconia A1-840FHD w/Android 4.1.2 Kit Kat I purchased for my Grandson for Christmas. I shows up in File Explorer> This PC in Windows 10 just as my phone and all my Tablets do! Yes, I can Access Photos, Files, etc... from this Acer Iconia A1-820FHD Tablet using my Windows 10 Laptop while hooked up with a USB.

I'm not familiar with your Motorola model, but with my Razr, I use a micro SD card. Take the card out and transfer to my computer. Before using the card, I would email photos to myself. I tried software to transfer my photos, but could never get it to work. Well, I take that back..it did work ONCE!!!!.. :)

I use the Motorola Phone Tools software to download pictures from my Razr V3. I have never been able to 'see' the pictures otherwise.

have you tried emailing the pics from your phone to your email address? then once in your email on your pc you just right click on the picture and select save as to save them to the hard drive.

If you have the ability to have a memory card in your phone then that is the way to go, put them on the memory card, take out memory card, put in memory card reader which is either built in your pc or use a usb memory card reader to access the contents of the memory card.
