Hi,

How do I transfer files from my laptop to my 'Tour' using Desktop V5.0.1?
I have v5 OS on my handheld.

Thanks

What sort of files are you looking to transfer?

You can always copy music, photos, and ringtones to the SD on the PC and then plug it into the BB.

I dont use DM to transfer files. I use windows explorer and drag n drop.

Thanks very much Dubdub & Greeneink!
Good idea...I didn't realize you could by-pass Desktop Manager and use Windows Explorer to transfer .pdf files etc.

open little door on back of bb and tilt laptop til everything falls into back of BB

When I forget my usb cable, I've used this free little utility: Bluetooth File Transfer LITE for Mobile / Free Download

Slow, but works in a pinch.

How does this work? I tried downloading the application for my Tour. And while 1.50 seems the update (offered in app), only 1.41 downloads/installs. Also, the Menu/Search buttons do not line up with the Tour's buttons or when I press what I think it is referring to, I get my phone log (g). I found the i/- button seems to be the Menu key?

BUT:

then there is the issue of what do I need on my Windows Vista Home Premium end of things to get them to talk to each other?

I did find some app and it finds the Tour but will not connect.

I would really like an Explorer way to use BT rather than the file-at-a-time method now available.

Thanks in advance
