How do I download my pic from my camera I have changed my mobile phone and taken some pics on it, I have put cable from mobile into pc, but nothing is happening, Do I need something else belonging to the mobile, I just thought by connecting it would have shown on the screen what I wanted to do Many Thanks

 

What Mobile is it?

 

Hi Nathan. Normally when you connect your USB to your mobile through the computer you will get an information box appear in the bottom right hand corner near your clock (if on windows). It would say something like 'new hardware found' when you plug it in, and then 'new hardware installed successfully.' If you haven't noticed that, then this could be your problem as the computer won't actually know that your phone is connected to it unless it's gone through this process. Normally your computer will automatically connect to the internet to locate the drivers needed to read your phone. If not, you may need to refer to any disc that came with the phone as that should contain the relevant software/drivers. Best way to check is leave it plugged in for a few mins, then go to My computer, and you should see your phone listed under something like a removable disc. It might be called something weird, so check everything. My iphone appears there as a seperately accessable disc drive, and I double click and proceed to the photograph folder which is called something like 'DCIM FILE.' Then I just drag and drop.

What phone is this out of interest?

Thanks.
