    For those of you who watched him slowly explain and describe three different types of USB cables, and then instantly whizzed past the part where you actually do the transfer: At 2:51 he extremely quickly says "Go to My Computer and click on it". My Computer appears differently on different computers. It's usually an icon with the tiny words "my computer" on it. On some computers it has no words at all, just a tiny icon of a computer. Hover your mouse over it and its description may appear. Double click on it to begin the procedure. Some computers have gotten rid of the My Computer icon entirely and replaced it with "File Explorer", with a tiny picture of a file folder on it. Click on it after you've plugged your phone in, and you should see your phone appear in a list of devices the computer recognizes. You're welcome.

I am on the top of the list for tech-illiterate and your video was amazing to understand and follow. Yes, I accomplished the transfer without any kinks. I couldn't believe it but NOW I DO BELIEVE. Great video.

  • @timkuen
    @timkuen 4 роки тому +19

    I just have to say this. In your video when you pulled out your cable from your charging unit, you pulled on the wire. Never pull on the wire to disconnect anything. Always pull on the connector it self unless you are looking for future troubles. This applies to any plug on any cord whether it is a 120 volt appliance or an extension cord or any electrical device of any kind. Never pull on the cord. You will end up pulling wires out of the connectors and you will only know what you have done when it stops working and you have to buy a new one.

  • @richardgregory3684
    @richardgregory3684 Рік тому +2

    On some phones, when you connect them to the PC, they will not show up. This is because they are using the USB exclusively for charging. It's actually a security measure, to enable file transfers you have to go to the Android device - usually it shows up as an event "Using USB for charging", tap on that and there should be an option to change it to "Transfer Files" (or something similar to that, sometimes they call files "photos" of whatever). As soon as you enable this, Windows should ping and recognise the Android device as a storage device, and after that, you can copy files back and forth as you please. It's a pain in the butt, but as I said, it;s a security feature. It's very unintuitive, would be way better if you got a popup on the phone saying "Do you want to use the USB for just charging, or to transfer files to/from a computer?". My Moto phone is like this and I had to trawl through UA-cam finding explanatory videos

      When you plug your android device in, use the pull down menu at the home screen and click on the USB notification labelled "Android system". Then tap once more for the option "Transfer Files" and you should now see the Phone icon on your PC. You may also have to reconnect the phone via USB to the computer if thre icon does not appear. Hope this helps

    My experience with the Moto E5 Plus - I wanted to copy photos from the PC to the phone. You have to set the USB on the phone from "Charging" to "Transfer Files" so the computer will read the folders on the phone. The phone needs to be connected to the computer and on, go to settings, select Connected Devices, and then tap USB to show all the selections. Select transfer files (or transfer photos - I used Transfer files) and the PC will now be able to see the folders on the phone and the phone will accept the items you are trying to copy to the phone.
