Thank you SO much for these instructions. I recently got a 4gb memory card for my phone, but the card reader I’ve got couldn’t read it. Now I can use it.. thanks so much!

To those of you who had problems with connecting your phones and received the message “no memory card present”:
I had the same problem. I ended up buying a microSD card and following the above. Unfortunately, my pictures and vids and such would not transfer over. That’s because every picture/video etc. you take gets saved to your phone’s memory card. In order to transfer them over, insert your microSD card, go to your photo albums, click on a pic/vid and hit options. Then select copy/move. This will either copy or move the picture to your microSD card.
Once you have done this, follow the instructions above and it should say “reading” or something. All of your pics and vids will then be available on your PC.

@chris, try a search on google for that video format. Not sure what kind of video it makes since I never try to download and watch these videos on my pc.

There’s a program from Samsung called pc studio 3 that I tried. I wanted to transfer my sms to my pc, but it doesn’t work! It doesn’t want to connect….has anybody tried this program?? Maybe it just doesn’t work with the model of my phone (M540) or I need a special driver?
Thank you

try to uninstall the samsung software you have been installed by mistake. Give a reset setting to you phone and verify in the setting to have disabled the external memory if you’re not using it.

I got the Samsung Slyde the other day and I’m having problems connecting to my PC. When I connected it to my computer, I made the mistake of installing the hardware when the initial screen popped up, and now every time I plug it in, nothing pops up, and nothing shows up on the bottom bar of my screen. When I highlight on my phone “connect to PC”, it says “memory card not present” and I do not have a memory card nor do I think I need one.. please help me out..

Also, for some strange reason, my sister has a MAC and the exact same phone, and she was able to send me music and pictures through bluetooth, which shows that my phone isn’t faulty, but I would like to be able to figure out this problem on my PC.

Thanks!

JD check where you downloaded the music. It should be on external memory as the internal phone memory is very limited. If you still cannot find it, check the memory space available, if is something over there, that should be your music.

Ken, I have a question similar to Alyssa’s. I have downloaded music but can’t find it. I don’t have the same functions as what you suggested she use. When I press OK I don’t have a Camera’s and Video to go to next. I have an entertainment selection with Music, TV and Games for choices. My Music selection doesn’t bring anything up. A JAVA screen appears then I go back to the menu. The TV application works fine. What should I do?
