How do I transfer photos from my phone to my laptop?

I use a Sony Ericsson K700i. Yeah I know its 3 years old. :mad:

Anyway, I have lots of mug****s on my phone and I want to put them on Facebook. However when I try to send them to my email address it says 'connection failed'.

What does this mean? Does it mean my phone is not compatible with this type of command?

I used to be on contract phone, now I am on PAY-AS-YOU-GO, so is it possible that when I switched some elements of my phone will no longer work?

It's really annoying me now.

Try Bluetooth file transfer

Bluetooth (if your phone has it) or a linking cable that goes from your phone to your laptop works fine.

I don't have a linking cable. Is it possible to buy USB cables for a phone 3 years old?

And what software do I need to view the photos on my computer? :confused:

the pictures will be JPG format, so you don't need any software. But you may need software to transfer the images using a cable. Have a look on the Sony Ericsson site for info about your phone (and therefore, probably what transfer cable you need) and the PC software for your phone.

But why can't I email these pictures from my phone to my email address? Surely that is the way everyone does it?

Would my phone need to be MMS enabled?

Thanks for all the help. :rolleyes:

I have just plugged in my phone to my laptop via the data cable, and it says I need to install the software CD. :rolleyes:

I knew this would happen, so why were so many ppl convinced that I could upload stuff without the CD?

Now what?!

As i said, have a look on the Sony Ericsson website. There's probably something there about your phone, and therefore, about downloads for your phone. If SE are anything like Nokia, there'll be a downloadable app that allows data transfer.

Which is what i said before.

Because you can. You can download drivers online for transferring the files.

This should do it.

Enjoy.

Oh, also, you can't use the email service until you've configured it correctly. Most networks don't do this for you, so you often have to do it yourself. Don't worry though, you won't be needing that now if all you want to do is transfer files.

Nope, nothing works. Even when I try to download the patch it just says that I need Vista. :confused:

I will just buy a new phone. :biggrin:

You need Vista? What OS have you got running on your laptop?

Pc suite, for your phone. ^ is that what you tried to install?

Yeah well that's what I downloaded. But it does not recognise my phone. It keeps saying no device is connected to the PC, which probably means that I have either downloaded the wrong software or my phone is too crap.
