How do I transfer the photos to my desktop

[galingula]

I can't find the photos I took on the device. I can view them in the photos secetion, but I can't find them in the file mananger. How do I find them, their file names, and get them onto the desktop during a sync?

Thanks in advance

okay so are you running stock rom.
If you have Windows Mobile Device Center. you can save your documents from your phone to your desktop. you usually do this right before you flash a rom so i guess your running stock. you will also need to get outlook. i think. but im not too sure about the outlook. but i know you need windows mobile device center to my knowledge

bwhahahahahahaha

ok ok im sorry

WM 6.5 offers a couple ways to do this:

1. MyPhone: you can upload your pics to your myphone account using the myphone app and then go to your myphone page on any PC to access them.
2. Activesync: lets you sync any photos in your Documents folder on your phone. HTC Album saves the pics to a DCIM folder on the root of your card by default. If you go through the Album settings, it should let you save it to your Documents folder somewhere in there. Look around
3. MicroSD card: you can just put the SD card in your PC and copy them off
4. Disk Access: you can connect your TP2 to your PC via USB and select "Disk" from the list of options that show up on your phone's screen. That should allow your phone to function as a flash drive and you can pick the photos off of whatever folder its on and copy them to your computer

ok first we need to decide whether or not you have a storage card in your device. Your photo files may be saved on your device or your storage card. Im assuming that since your not sure of how to find them, they are on your device otherwise you would know where your photos are and would have specified that they be stored on the card(micro storage card)

Secondly, to find your photos, use file explorer found in your Start menu. Start from the beginning, click on the arrow flowing the word "Device or Storage Card" at the top of the file explorer. Select the first option for My Device at the top. You will be directed to the beginning of your My Device’s folder. Now your photos are probably preset to be in My Device>My Documents>My Pictures (basically your looking for my pictures folder).

last thing to consider is for back up, and safety purposes of your photos you might want to consider storing them on your storage card.

How to: Create a new folder on your storage card and name it something that you will know its your photo folder on your storage card. IE; DCIM, My pics2, pics back up, My Pictures2.

Once you have created this new folder copy/move all, or some pics to that folder.

Now leave file explorer and go to the regular Touch Flo Photo Tab. Hit the Albums soft key at the bottom> Select Albums again and from there find the name of your New Album you created and select> Finaly hit the Menu soft key and select the "SET ALBUM AS FAVORITE" option.

Now every shot you take on your device will be stored on your card. if you flash you device or need to restore it to factory settings or wipe it your documents will be saved.

Additionally your device has the option to sync through Active Sync or to be recognized as a Disk Drive Storage Device after you connect it via the cable to your computer. Either way one will allow you to search through your computer (on a bigger screen) to rearrange and organize your files better. you can select all and move them into a desired folder quickly and easily all from your computer. This can also be accomplished through your phone/device but I just find it simpler to view and handle through your pc/computer.


Hope this helps.

Got them, thank you. I was using windows exploer and there's no "search" function available.

Much appreciated
