    In this video you'll be taught how to transfer files between an Android device and a computer. I even explain figuring out problems like getting the phone drivers so the computer can recognize the device.

    WOW! I am a newbie w/ smartphones but well versed in computers. You made this easy to understand. Thanks

    Thanks for a GREAT video. I am not very techy. I like how you explained things and also showed each step as you spoke not assuming that somebody knew what you meant when you said go here or there, or do this. This will sound weird to lots of people but even explaining about the USB cord and how to plug it in would be helpful to someone just learning(not me luckily but I thought that deserved a comment lol) This has made it so much easier for me to load my pictures now. Thanks again. Glad I found your video. BTW I rarely ever comment but after watching your video I was so impressed I had to let you know.

    Not sure, perhaps they're being saved to a different directory for some reason. Try the following: open the "Gallery" app, find a video you recorded, open it, hit the menu button, and select "Details". From there it should show you where it is saved. Cheers.

    very simple as you said compute takes mobile hand set as an external hard drive. you also need a driver for your usb connected device to your computer ( good info)
    but your jargon about mobile memory ( +storage ) internal + external (sd card ) is a wonderful explanation ******
    thanks

  • @Babblingboolean
    @Babblingboolean  11 років тому

    You might be missing the drivers, I explain how to get them for your Android device at 5:27 However, Android devices with versions of Android 4.1 and newer don't usually show on the Android device to turn on USB storage, it simply does it automatically.

  • @Babblingboolean
    @Babblingboolean  11 років тому

    The only thing I can think of is that when you paste it to your computer, you might be right clicking and selecting "paste as shortcut" instead of "paste". If that isn't the issue then I'm not sure if your files from your Android device are corrupted/have errors or your computer. You'll have to Google search the issue, I suggest asking in "XDA forums" website, that's where developers could help you.

  • @Babblingboolean
    @Babblingboolean  11 років тому

    You're most likely missing the drivers for your phone. Google "Kies" from samsung, download it, run it and then connect your phone. It should work since the Kies program contains the drivers for Samsung devices. If it still doesn't work then simply Google the exact issue you have to see if anyone else on the net had a solved the same issue.

  • @morp8047

    @07:10 The reason for the different versions is to comply with requriements for different geographic regions, so there may be differences in relation to languages, voltage settings, plugs that come with the phone and other fine tweaks to suit the country the product is being marketted to. USA is not the wohole of the world, you know!

    Hey there. You're obviously very well versed. Apparently all my photos and videos are uploaded to the "cloud". I plugged in my usb and I get a message that says "there's nothing to import". I want a concrete back up. Not just the crazy cloud. I don't know why it is saying that there is "nothing to import" when my storage is now FULL; hence, the REASON I am looking to transfer from phone to computer (but cannot, since it says there nothing is there to import; and, yes I can see all photos/videos on my phone and most on cloud except for the most recent. Thanks in advance for your response :)

      I assume you mean when you see your phone pictures on your computer? They most likely aren't synced (unless you activate a feature like that in an app such as Google+). The best way to save them is to simply copy and paste them to your computer's hard drive.

Click the three vertical squares on the top right of the screen and you will see a window appear 'USB computer connection.' That's it :) Pretty stupid how Google decided to put this feature in a non-intuitive place.
