Can't move cd music downloaded to itunes to my phone. I did figure out how to move it through bluetooth. Bluetooth will take 5-8 minutes per song x 4000 songs. I am no IT wizard. I have searched the web and watched videos with terms like File manager FTP, MTP, bootloader, MI pc suite, USB activation etc.. I did turn on USB debugging thanks to a good video. I'm not sure if i needed to turn it on but its on. This music is my music placed in itunes not purchased music from apple. I made a folder and am dragging the music from itunes to the folder then wifi to phone too slow. Any help would be appreciated.
Solved not sure how. All of a sudden my laptop made noise when cable was plugged in so they are now talking. On my phone a bubble pops up "use USB for" and then three choices. no data transfer, file transfer/ android auto and transfer photos (PTP). I clicked on file transfer/android auto. I then had to create a new file for iTunes music and drag and drop several hundred cd's into folder. Once all music was in folder I had to highlight every song (over 4000) and drag them to the phone now located in the task bar on left. There were some hiccups like songs duplicating and so on. This was better than bluetooth by far but I,m sure there are easier ways. It took probably 20 hours over 3 days.
Maybe this can help anyone. Try to connect the cable to the USB port in the back of your pc. I tried it and it worked

When trying to transfer a converted movie (AVI file) to watch on my upcoming flight abroad, after transferring for a while, the transfer stops, and the icon in the taskbar on my PC (XP Pro SP2, ActiveSync v4.2) claims that the connection has been disabled. When I looked at my Alpine, the unit had frozen and I have to sft reset it to recover operation. What would cause this? I transferred about 500MB worth of songs yesterday without problems.
Thanks

Try disabling Sync with WMP, then download the files manually. WMP tends to re-start the Sync process every little bit or so, interrupting transfer of large files. (This isn't an issue with large amounts of smaller files, such as all those songs you downloaded.)
I am trying to figure out how to automate the weekly transfer of files from my computer to my phone (htc touch cruise).
Each week, I have some live radio shows which are automatically downloaded via bittorrent to my computer (all legal). What I would like to do is to have the files moved automatically onto the storage card of my phone whenever I either activesync with the home computer, or connect to the home network via 802.11.
So far, here's what I've come up with (using activesync):
1. Set up home computer to automatically move the downloaded files to the "sync files" folder on my home computer (can do this easily).
2. Whenever the phone is plugged in, the mp3 files are auto transferred to the phone via activesync's sync files feature.
What I can't figure out is how to change the folder the synced files are saved to on the ppc - can I set that activesync feature to save to a specific folder (say "/storage card/radio shows")?. The files I want to regularly transfer over are 50 - 150 megs, so they absolutely have to go to the sd card.
Is there another (better) way to do this? Somehow pull it off via wifi?
Well, I did a little more poking around and found mightysync which appears to offer syncing to sd card storage. I'll give it a whirl tonight.
I'm still curious if anyone else has some slick syncronization setups though...
Hello,
i was trying to copy certain files from my laptop to phone via bluetooth but could just not get it all working. I have BT turned on (both devices), they manage to connect via rather cumbersome set of dialogues (on laptop) but then I can only explore "services" on the device, whatever that is....
How do I send a file from lets say laptop desktop to the phone? And where can I locate it on the phone?
Thank you !
If you can explore services try looking for Bluetooth file transer service. It should open up the bluetooth shared folder which is common to both your phone and the computer. Drag and drop items from your phone or computer onto this folder and you should see them on either device. Default location of the bluetooth shared folder on your phone should be under my documents.
Thank you, will try that tomorrow back at the office
If you are using Vista, turning user account control off might help.
Mine is working now.
I gave up trying, too. Never have had any success with HTC phones, but SE phones always worked. Go figure.
Instead, I have networked/mapped my desired drives (with Resco File Explorer) of my laptop and desktop systems with the Fuze and and transfer files via WiFi that way. Works great and is fast.
Have you tried checking the box "receive all incoming beams"? It is located under settings and then the connections tab. Once there click on the Beam icon and make sure that box is checked. I couldn't send any files form my laptop to my phone until that was checked off.
This is going to sound silly, but it has worked for me repeatedly. So I thought I'd risk ridicule and throw it out there... in case it helps someone else.
Short Version:
Installing the iTunes sync app DoubleTwist on both my phone and win7 64 pc solves usb cable connection problems. After installing it on both, Windows 7 64 has no trouble finding the "mass storage" drive (the ext sdcard).
Long Version:
I've been playing around with all the lag fixes, roms, and other mods for the past few days. Needless to say, I've often screwed things up and have needed to reflash my Captivate many times. After every repartition and "date" with Odin, I'd connect my phone to the pc via the usb cable hoping to transfer some adk files to the sdcard. Each time I would have problems. Each time I'd stumble around until it started to work.
I think I finally figured out what was solving the problem. I use an app called DoubleTwist to sync my iTunes music and playlists with my captivate. It consists of a program for the PC and a app for the phone. I think it loads drivers (or something) that allows the Captivate and Windows to see each other... something missing in the default setup. You don't even have to use it to sync music.
After each reflash to stock, I would not be able to connect in "mass storage" mode to the pc. I would then install the DoubleTwist app on the phone (it is already installed on the computer) and plug in the usb cable. Suddenly Windows could see the card and mounted it as my K: drive. Then DoubleTwist would auto-launch on my PC and start the process of syncing. I'd just close it immediately on the pc and continue with reloading all my apps, etc.
I don't know why this works, but it has worked for my consistently over the past few days. So if you're having the same kind of trouble, give it a try.
HTH YMMV
This is a wild shot in the dark... but is it possible that in applying the Lagfix to my Droid Charge (which changes the file system on the phone) that it could somehow impair my ability to view files on the DC from my PC using a USB connection?
I have a Samsung Droid Charge on Verizon. When I connect it via USB cable to a PC running Windows XP or one running Windows 7 (64bit), it shows me only some of the files. For example, my SD card has a folder \Music\. Under \Music\ are about 300 folders (one per artist). In each artist folder is at least one subfolder (one per album). The music tracks are in the album subfolders.
Here's the weird part... all of the artist folders show up, but only about the first (first, by alphabetical order) two dozen artist folders show as having any album subfolders. The rest show as empty. When I browse the SD card using Droid Charge itself, all of the folders and files are present. The seemingly missing folders and files only appear to be missing when viewing from a PC using USB. By the way, USB Debugging is OFF. I'm selecting "Mass Storage" mode when I connect the usb cable.
For what it's worth... when I browse the SD card from a PC using the "WIFI File Explorer" app from the Android marketplace, all of the folders and files are present. They're just not all visible (apparently missing) when using USB.
Ideas? Can this possibly be related to the lagfix?
