You can either use a Wireless Network to transfer the files or you could use a Mini USB to USB to connect the Tablet to the PC. You'll then need to find your Tablet in My Computer on your PC. Once you find your tablet you'll need to find where the Photos are kept, then Copy and Paste them to the PC!

I bought an adapter for my Samsung tablet that plugs in to the charging port on the tablet and accepts a USB plugin, which would give you many options for transferring. These can be bought from Samsung or others. Here is what mine looks like:

You can get similar ones from 3rd party vendors that are cheaper. Just make sure the one you buy is the right one for your specific tablet.

I don't understand why they are read only but if you right click on the file name and choose properties on the context menu then at the bottom of the 'general' tab you can remove the check mark from the read only box.

Printing from Ipads and Android tablets?
Q
Comments (8)
If your Canon MX850 is on the network via an ethernet cable, you'd think you'd have much easier luck being able to print to it, since the iPads, etc are probably on the same network. Btw, I take it you have a wireless router ? The next step is having/finding some "driver" (printer software) for the iPad/Android that can see that printer and print to it. Apple has Airprint built-in for that, but only some printers will work with it. Unfortunately the MX850 will not. So then you have to find some third party software that will take the place of Airprint. Here's a short list : Top 5 Printing Apps For Your iPad The problem I see there is that most of them require the printer to be wireless - that is, broadcasting it's existence wirelessly. If not, then some have some helper software that you install on your PC, MAC, whatever, and you print to that computer, which relays it to the printer. That means the intermediary computer will have to be always on. I did see some guy has developed HandyPrint, which you can install on your iPad, etc, and it will trick the iPad into thinking it's printing to an Airprint enabled printer. Looks like worth a try : Handyprint-v5 Print wirelessly from any iDevice, with any printer The issues are more or less the same for Android devices I would think. Here is one more, quite long article, but it looks very comprehensive. I didn't have time to read it myself : How To Print Wirelessly From a Smartphone or Tablet, Using the Printer You Already Have Maybe someone knows more about this than I do. -Kent

Can I get Texts from phone to pc
Q
Comments (3)
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

Some final questions before ordering new PC
Q
Comments (13)
thanks for responding- i am talking about a desktop- i do not want a laptop at this time. I guess i thought a router was only for wireless computers- so if i get the wireless card does that mean i then have to get a wireless internet plan or will the wireless card and router work with the regular dsl? For about a year the computers will be by each other and after that they will be on different levels of the house.. So is there a preferable way of how i should go meaning hard wire or wireless? And does whichever way i chose determine what kind of router i need to get or are they all the same? So this also leads me to a question and that is how will i know if my current printer will be compatible with the new computer? i only ask because i heard people had that issue with Vista. I also want to ask about the antivirus programs you are referring too. I have always used AVG..can i still use this on windows 7 or do i need to stick with the ones you are referring to. Thanks again

I think it Depends upon your Model whether you need an adaptor like the one kudzu9 has posted above.

The Galaxy Tab 3 or 4 should use just a Standard Mini USB for a Charging Port which doubles as the USB Data Transfer Port!

On the larger 10.1 Galaxy Tablet it will most likely need the adaptor like kudzu9 posted.

I bought a Bluetooth adapter for my PC for around $15. It plugs into the USB port of my computer and since all my devices have Bluetooth transfer that way with no cords from any where in the house. Mary

my tablet is a Samsung GALAZY TAB 3 I don't have bluetooth but I may look in to it. I was hoping to be able to connect my tablet to my tower with a simple plug in.

All my Android devices can plug into my tower with a mini USB cable. It's just I find Bluetooth easy for transferring, personal preference. That or memory cards as most of my devices take the micro cards. Mary

Dahlia6,
1. From what I've read the Samsung Galaxy 3 Tablet as Bluetooth (maybe they have a different model which doesn't, not sure). Go to Settings and look for Bluetooth. If your tablet has Bluetooth it may be Deactivated, just flip it from Off to On then Click on Done? Here is a link with the process from Samsung to setup your Bluetooth: Turning Bluetooth Off and On

1. The cord you need should be the cord you charge the tablet with. You should be able to Disconnect the USB from the Wall charging portion (this USB will plug into your PC). The other end will plug into the port on your tablet where you charge it at!
Either method should work!

That is so helpful as have all the other responses here. I had neglected to offer the full name of my tablet which is helpful to answering.
