what am i doing wrong?

Might I ask, is the phone recognized if you go into "My Computer" ?

 

[Terry7556]

hi mursal yes it is, is that where i need to start?
the phone syncs with the computer ok and i can upload photos off the phone if i make a file of them but i cannot do this with movies which is frustrating

 

[Mursal]

Try this?

Like me, you just might be missing something simple

 

[Terry7556]

that will help with uploading videos, thank you but any thoughts on getting stuff off the computer into the phone, ideally id like to use ibooks cos when you read a boiler manual in ibooks its quicker.
god knows how ill get on if i buy an ipad
wher abouts are you from, im a tyrone boy, omagh in fact but its been a while since ive visited

 

[Mursal]

Look at the boiler book file and see what the file name ends with? Probably be ^^^^^^.PDF for Adobe reader?

You may need to convert the file to be compatible with ibooks before you download from your PC. It will only be a piece of free software (hopefully) but the file extension (bit on the end) will tell you which converter to use.

Omagh brings back good memories for me too, good friends from Tyrone, unfortunately a bit further south now

For stuff like pdfs or other documents the easiest way is just to email it to yourself, really simple.

 

[Terry7556]

it offers me the option of emailing but how do i get it out of hotmail or gmail, im assuming the sent email stays in the computer and i download into the phone.
i find technology hard work so please keep it simple

 

[Terry7556]

ps i have goodreader installed on the phone, would this help me/

 

[Mursal]

But, open the E-Mail on the phone and read the attached boiler file?

 

[Terry7556]

ill give that a go, many thanks

I remember the good old days, before apple invented the smartphone, when you could just store files on your SD card and read them on your smart phone without needing a 3g connection...

In all seriousness you might be able to upload files to something like google docs and then view them from there (or dropbox etc).

It you want to be able to store them on your phone you will need to get an android or windows phone 8 next time
