Computer Dummy
« on: January 15, 2015, 09:31:52 AM »
 :airplane: OK, up front, I am a "computer" dummy! Now the question: Is there a program somewhere by which I can download pictures from my computer onto my "cel" phone?
I can transfere pic's from cel to computer, no problem, just don't know how to do it in reverse!
Blue Skies and wind at my back and wish that for all!!!

It very much depends on your phone and how it communicates with the computer. If you can see it as a drive in Explorer like any other external storage, then you should be able to simply drag and drop. In that case the biggest problem would be finding the right folder.

There are phones, though, that need a special program for interacting with the computer. IIRC in that case you would need that said program also from downloading pictures from the phone, so if you're using the Windows image transfer wizard the first alternative might work for you.

How do you transfer the pictures now? If you plug the phone in and you get a folder where you can copy the pictures from, you can most likely do the same process in reverse. Instead of copying pictures from the phone, just copy new pictures in the folder from your computer.

if you can read email on your phone, try emailing the pics to yourself, then read/save the pics on your phone. <S> Hetzer

:airplane: Thanks to all who commented! I have it worked out now, there is a "app" you can put on your phone which will download from PC or upload to PC!

Same here. I just use a usb cable.
