iTunes App Trick

Though their primary use will always be to make calls, cell phones have become much more than simple communication devices. Using a single handset, you can take pictures, shoot videos, organize your contacts and daily calendar, send and receive messages, and play music. But managing those extra features can be a challenge. For example, after you take a photo with your camera phone, it doesn’t do a whole lot of good until you can get it off your phone and onto your computer. Of course, you can always send multimedia messages through your carrier’s data service, but that can be expensive if you’re a frequent shutterbug. On the flip side, while using your phone’s organizer won’t cost money, inputting your information on a standard phone keypad is time-consuming and tedious.

Fortunately, there’s a solution to your phone data doldrums. With cell phone-syncing software, you become the master of all that’s on your cell phone by syncing your mobile directly to your PC (some applications also work with Macs). You can transfer pictures, messages, contacts, and ring tones from your phone to your computer, edit them on your PC using the software, then transfer them back to your phone. And best of all, while you have to buy the software, it’s just a onetime fee, and you don’t have to involve your carrier on an ongoing basis to use it. It should be noted that there are also some free applications and some options from handset manufacturers, but they are not as feature-laden.

First, install the Manager software. The software has driver that suits to your phone, including important things like sound driver ; driver updates is automatically located and ask you for drivers download when you are connected to the internet to get the latest version of your computer drivers. After installation, you’re free to plug in the phone, but your computer will also ask you to install a driver before it will fully connect to your handset. Follow the onscreen prompts to install the driver from the software CD. When finished, your computer should detect your phone, and you’ll receive a confirmation message. If not, repeat the process. Also, if you happen to disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it later, your computer may prompt you to install a new driver. If this happens, insert the CD and choose a driver from the pop-up menu. Do not, however, install the software again.

Now you execute the program to get it to work. It’s easy to use, and your phone will charge from your computer when connected. It was bothersome, however, that we couldn’t have two Handset Manager functions open at the same time.

Tip
If the CD doesn’t start automatically when inserted in your computer, open your Windows Start menu, click Run, and select d:\install.exe from the pull-down menu. Exit all programs.
