Moving Photos From Your Phone to Your PC

Install Nokia PC Suite first.

Attach the phone to the computer using the cable provided.

Windows will install the necessary drivers.

When the two devices are connected, a list of options will appear on your phone. select PC Suite mode:

Launch the Nokia PC Suite on your computer:

An icon will appear in the system tray in the bottom right hand corner, which will be gray when the phone isn’t connected, and blue when it is:

Click on the Nokia PC Suite tab:

You should see a window like this:

Click on the  Store images icon:

A window will appear as the software checks out your phone’s memory:

Another window will appear with the status of your images and videos. Make a note of the folder where the images are going to be stored in (usually your My Pictures folder). Then click Store now:

image

You may be asked whether you want to erase the images from your phone. It’s best to, to save space, so long as you’re loading them to a computer that is yours, or one you’ll have future access to.

The images should start being moved to your computer:

image

In the meantime, find the folder where they’re being stored on your computer. My Pictures is usually a subfolder of the My Documents folder:

image

Nokia usually moves the photos into dated subfolders with the year first, then the month, then the date, so 20080421 is April 21 2008:

image

(Your folder may not look exactly like that, but you get the idea.)

By now your photos and videos should have stopped moving across from the phone, in which case the Image Store will appear again telling you that all photos have been erased from the phone:

  • Samsung and phone companies [BBC version] May 19, 2012
    This is a piece I'm recording for the BBC World Service. It's based loosely on my piece about possible limits to Samsung's impressive foray into smartphones.  The interesting thing about covering technology for a living is that while pretty much every business within  the sector  very very different, but all are, or want to be, [...]

    This is a piece I wrote with my colleague Lee Chyen Yee on the ZTE vulnerability.  ZTE Corp, the world's No.4 handset vendor and one of two Chinese companies under U.S. scrutiny over security concerns, said one of its mobile phone models sold in the United States contains a vulnerability that researchers say could allow [...]
  • Facebook can’t take Asian growth for granted May 17, 2012
    A piece I wrote ahead of Facebook's IPO, casting a skeptical eye over assumptions that Asia would continue to be a source of major growth for the company. Even as Facebook fever grips investors ahead of the social networking giant's potential $100 billion-plus initial public offering, its breakneck growth in Asia may be slowing as [...]

  • Cameras [BBC column] May 9, 2012
    This is the script for a piece I recorded for the BBC World Service. It' s based on a piece I wrote for my employer, Reuters. We always assume that when a new technology comes along it will displace the old. And that tends to be the case. But displace doesn't mean delete, remove, consign [...]
  • Social media stress? There’s an app for that May 8, 2012
    A piece on how one marketing company is capitalizing on what it says is growing stress among social media users.  Nestle, purveyor of the decades-old KitKat snack, has launched an app it says addresses a growing problem among young social media users - giving them a break from the stress of posting updates by doing [...]
  • In a Samsung Galaxy far, far away … will Android still rule? May 3, 2012
    A piece I wrote on potential roadbumps in Samsung's ride to smartphone dominance.  Samsung Electronics is the world's largest smartphone manufacturer and biggest user of Google's Android operating system. And, for some, that's the problem. Samsung's meteoric rise - in the first quarter of 2011 it shipped fewer smartphones than Apple, […]
  • RIM [BBC version] April 24, 2012
    In some ways our world all looks very similar. Prefab coffee and fast food chains, Cars that all look the same. Everyone on Facebook. But what we--and by we I include the people who actually produce and sell these goods and services--don't do a good job of is understanding while the global products may be [...]
  • Outsider Ren pits Huawei against the world April 23, 2012
    A piece I wrote for Reuters with Lee Chyenyee:  (Reuters) – In the 1990s, Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei visited the United States several times, hoping to learn from its leaders of industry about how to turn his Chinese telecoms equipment maker into a global company. On one trip in 1992, in the days before China had credit [...]
  • WhatsApp [BBC commentary] April 17, 2012
    You may remember a time, not too long ago, when to make a long distance phone call you had to go through an operator. You would wait as you could hear her asking another operator for a connection. It was not always successful. A lot depended on the perseverance of the operator--especially when trying to [...]
