Copy content between your phone and computer

Copy photos, videos, and other content created by you between your phone and computer.

Tip: If your computer is a Mac, install the Windows Phone app from the Mac App Store.
If you want to transfer photos you have taken to Mac, it is recommended that you use the Nokia

Photo Transfer for Mac app, which you can download from www.nokia.com.

1. Connect your phone to a compatible computer with a compatible USB cable.

2. On your computer, open a file manager, such as Windows Explorer or Finder, and browse to your

phone.

Tip: Your phone is shown under portable devices as Windows Phone. To see the folders of your

phone, double-click the name of the phone. There are separate folders for documents, music,

photos, ringtones, and videos.

3. Drag and drop items from your phone to the computer, or from your computer to the phone.

Tip: If your computer's operating system is Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can also use the

Windows Phone app. Windows 8 installs the app automatically. With Windows 7, you can

download it from www.windowsphone.com.
