Connecting your phone to a computer
Connect your phone to a computer and start transferring pictures, music and other
file types. The easiest ways to connect are using a USB cable or Bluetooth wireless
technology.
When you connect your phone to the computer using a USB cable, you are prompted
to install the PC Companion application on your computer. PC Companion helps you
access additional computer applications to transfer and organise media files, update
your phone, synchronise phone content, and more.
You might not be able to transfer some copyright-protected material between your phone and
computer.
Transferring and handling content using a USB cable
Use a USB cable connection between a computer and your phone for easy transfer
and management of your files. Once the two devices are connected, you can drag
and drop content between your phone and the computer, or between your phone's
internal storage and SD card, using the computer's file explorer.
If you're transferring music, video, pictures or other media files to your phone, it's
best to use the Media Go™ application on your computer. Media Go™ converts
media files so that you can use them on your phone.
