TIP Besides using USB Drive mode to copy your photos, videos, and DRM-free music from your computer to your smartphone, you can also use solutions available from third-party software developers (sold separately) that facilitate the transfer of media files to your smartphone. For more information, open the browser on your computer and go to palm.com/sync-solutions.

1Connect your smartphone and your computer using the USB cable.

2On your smartphone, tap USB Drive. If prompted, tap OK. On your computer, your smartphone appears as a removable drive.

3On a Windows computer, if the Found New Hardware wizard opens, click Cancel to close the wizard.

4Open My Computer (Windows XP), Computer (Windows Vista/ Windows 7), or the Finder (Mac), and double-click the drive representing your smartphone.

5To create an album, use your computer’s controls for creating a new folder. To be sure the Photos application can find the album, create it at the root level of the drive representing your smartphone, not as a subfolder of another folder.

6Assign pictures to albums using your computer’s controls to copy or move items. It is easiest to find the pictures you want by displaying them as thumbnails.

7End the connection safely. If you do not eject your smartphone safely, your smartphone resets when you disconnect the USB cable:

On a Windows computer, right-click the drive representing your smartphone and click Eject.

On a Mac computer, from your desktop, drag the drive representing your smartphone to the Trash. The Trash icon changes to Eject.

8Disconnect the USB cable from the computer and from the smartphone when the USB Drive screen no longer appears on your smartphone.

To delete an album: Connect your smartphone to your computer and tap USB Drive. From your computer, open the drive representing your smartphone and delete the folder representing the album.
