I've got an old Motorola phone (W755) that I want to be able to just plug into my computer via USB and get pictures off of it and transfer ringtones to it. From what I've read, I have to use Motorola Phone Tools to do this. I got it installed and updated to the latest version, but I see absolutely no way within the software to do what I need to do. There's a phonebook transfer feature, contact and calendar synchronization, and that's about it. I even searched through the help menus of the software and there's a whole section devoted to how to do exactly what I'm trying to do, but the directions it gives aren't applicable at all. It tells me to do things that don't even exist in the software ('Under My Computer view, select from the drop-down menu the directory where you want the file to be saved. From Mobile phone view, select the file to be transferred.'

There's no My Computer View and no From Mobile View. Anybody have any experience with the software and know what I'm missing? I have a Motorola V551 and have a few pics I would like to get off of it too.I have Motorola tools v4 & 5 - but i guess i am going to have to install a x32 XP system to get the pics. Did you ever find a solution?I bought a USB cable but it is a no go on my Win 7 x64 machine. I am going to try the alternative which is a bluetooth dongle and connect the phone that way.

Supposedly this works. Another $15 to give it a shot i guess.The solution was to get a newer phone, lol. Sorry I don't have better news for you, but I never could figure it out. I jumped through a bunch of hoops and tried several obscure/complicated things but couldn't get anything to work.

I have had success, but not as expected. Let me explain for all those that may come across this thread wondering how to get their contacts or pictures from Motorola V551 or Motorola V557.Keep in mind, I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64.I got the Bluetooth but it did NO good for me. First, you need to make sure your phone is recognized when connected to the PC. Then, there should be a panel split in half, like a Windows explorer window. The left side should be the My Computer view, the right side should be the Mobile phone view.Please don't take this the wrong way, I am trying my best to make my comment informative, knowledgeable, and precise.You know HOW MANY FREAKING TIMES I read what you just copied from the net and pasted here?Don't do that without actual investigation or personal relationships with said issues/problems. That IS the problem with the net when there is nothing but flooded copy and pasted info when trying to find a REAL solution.Take a look at my HARD work and MY solution (comment above this one).

Mine comes from EXPERIENCE and NOT just some hap-hazard copy and paste fiasco to maybe gain forum points.If I were a MOD/ADMIN I would remove your comment, ONLY because I have seen that SAME (verbatim) comment you left, copied and pasted on at LEAST 15 different sites (INCLUDING Tom's Hardware).All I am saying is, yes it can be helpful for some whom don't know that no detection is a problem, but this isn't 'really' any solution at all. It is just a symptom of the beginning of a bigger issue - which in MOST readers that are seeking this thread/topic, are running a windows version later than Windows XP.

Anybody else here still waiting for Motorola to release a patch for their software' Motorola Phone Tools' I have been waiting for 3 months now.gggggrrrr. I was able to find sufficient drivers so I could at least charge my phone via USB.but I am unable to trasfer files.eg music, pictures, phone contacts. Does anyone know if maybe there is an alternative program I could use while waiting for Motorola to catch up?? It seems like just about every other software maker has at least tried to keep up, but when I tried to contact Motorola about this issue.they have' no release date' yet. Very vague answers from them,Could be next week or next year. So I would be happy to find an alternative program.maybe I would just scrap their program all together if I could find something that comes close to what they have. It appears like Motorola has finally come out with an update to be compatible with windows 7.

According to their site, version 5.27 is now available through the live update program that is part of the MPT program. It says to just continue to force live update till you get to version 5.27.
