Hello,
I have this issue regarding my photos (how I hate closed systems such as Zune. USB storage was so easy )
I have some photos taken with my WP7 device. When I connect it to my PC the Zune soft shows me my music but refuses to show my pictures (even after I synchronized the pictures of course).
It says that my device is empty, but the pictures are actually inside my device.
This Zune method is crap.
Please help me....

For many years, I have been a user of “notes” in WM devices. I now have accumulated quite a list of them and I use them routinely. They have always resided on an SD card which I swapped when I changed devices.
Has anyone discovered a way to get these “notes” into the new devices? A cloud-based solution is certainly acceptable for transfer of the data, but not for storage. I require device-based storage for almost everything as I spend a lot of time removed from any source of connectivity.
Thanks!
At the moment, there currently is no way to sync files other than media (photos, music, videos, podcasts, which are sync'd through the Zune software).
You can however, store your file online (such as through SkyDrive), and then download them using the phone's web browser. When you download files from the web, they certainly get stored somewhere, but since there is no file browser, you can't browse to a directory and tap the file to start it. For example, when you load a PDF file from the web on your phone, it gets downloaded somewhere, but if you decide to look at the PDF again in the future, you can only access that from the Adobe Reader app, where it gets listed until you decide to remove it.
That being said, I don't think that Windows Phone supports the old Windows Mobile Notes files though, so I'm not sure how you would view them on Windows Phone 7.
An alternative would be to convert over to OneNote and use the online syncing capability (which rocks). Create your notes on your desktop, online, or on your phone and they can automatically stay in sync with each other.
I am not quite sure if you mean this but if you go to office then onenote and then press all you can sync them.
I only used office 2010 for some months, but I think you can create a online link and connect it to your phone.
The data is stored on the phone and if you edit something it will be synced the next time if you are online.
I hope i helped as i am not quite sure myself and I am waiting to get office 2010.

It's pretty easy to set up skydrive to sync with OneNote on your phone. I used cut and paste on my pc to copy my notes from Outlook to OneNote on my browser (skydrive), then synced the phone. Now any changes to the notes - made either on the web app or the phone - get synced automatically. Very convenient after all the initial copying.
another vote for oneNote, the default notbook works great, in system settings go to applications > onenote and slide the sync slider, they'll give you more info, read it, they won't tell you again.
I also setup a second notebook to share with a business partner on my PC, the link showed up in my ME tile, I clicked it out of curiosity, now it's synced too!
+1 for one note, a very convenient solution, not something i had used before now, but i am becoming increasingly reliant on it!
Hi,
After updating to mango, I lost all pictures linked to my contacts.
Is there any way to get them back?
How do I re-sync with Windows Live without hard re-setting?
It's a samsung focus.
Many thanks.
The USB connection on my Mac works fine with the little tool, but I would rather have some kind of wireless magic.
This is what I wish for: I'm coming home, my Nexus says "hello" to my WLAN and checks every X minutes if my Mac is active. If yes, start the two-way sync for the whole gallery – that means camera photos, screenshots, WhatsApp images and so on are transferred to my computer and new images are moved over to the phone.
If WiFi is disabled, the phone is in a foreign WLAN or my Mac is not reachable, the Android app should sleep.
There are a few apps, but I haven't seen the perfect solution. Take for example …
Dropsync: Multiple folder sync in the pro version. This seems very nice for Dropbox sync and should work with some aliases on the Mac to my Dropbox folder, but I have the extra step with the cloud in between.
doubleTwist AirSync: Looks nice, but I have no clue if it can be configured to run in the background (Android and Mac).
There are a few more apps with a PC background service which are unsuitable for me.
Is there a "nice and easy" app?
I use Google + and Picasa. The new Picasa desktop client syncs Google + galleries.
I have my phone set up to sync pics to G+, and my Mac syncs the G+ pics to the desktop client.
I would have opted for Picasa & Google+, but I can't get it to sync all folders on Android and the desktop app is a horrible mess with graphic problems on my Mac (Snow Leopard). :/ Or am I just too stupid?
So … this seems to be an unsolvable Problem.
I have all of my Picasa photos synced with Google+ - so everything I add to Google+ (Instant Upload to a PRIVATE gallery) gets synced over to Picasaweb. If I ever need my photos, I just grab them from Picasaweb. I don't keep photos saved offline because I have 20gb of storage on Google's servers (only $5/year - so cheap). Plenty of storage for docs, photos, etc.
Hi,
I wonder if there is a possibility to sync photos in my mobile phone and tablet not only to cloud at picasa/google+ but also to my hard drive in my computer. I would like to use google Instant Upload for this instead of some 3rd party apps and clouds. Because e.g. Dropbox syncs the photos from my phone and tablet pretty well but does not sync photos on mobile devicec. I would like to view photos from my mobile phone on my tablet too. And I want them to be synced automatically. Is there a way to do this? I wanted to try desktop Picasa for syncing but I cannot sync Instant Uploads "album".
Any ideas or tips for your way doing this? Thank you!!!
I just bought the Samsung S22 Ultra thinking I would be able to sync my photos wirelessly on the fly. We have Link to windows and Dex but I don't think it's possible to sync photos with any app on the fly. I have a 4 terabyte hard drive and I don't understand why synchronization can't be done automatically? If it were possible, then I would just go into Photoshop and start processing images that would always be in the same folder on the PC and I wouldn't need to manually do any copying.
What are you trying to sync with?
You can sync your photos using Onedrive via the Gallery app or sync with Google using Google Photos.
If you use Lightroom and Adobe CC you have to add them to an Adobe CC gallery.

I wanted to have photos that I took with my mobile phone synced with my PC so I have the same photos all time in my PC.
I'm an engineer and I take about 10 photos per day and I don't understand why I can't have those photos automatically synced on my PC when I get connected over WiFi in my office. Why would I manually copy these photos. It's an unnecessarily action.
Why would I use Onedrive when I have unlimited space on my hard drive in my PC? Maybe I have very sensitive photos that I don't want to sync with Onedrive?
It's so simple thing that it can't be achieved by phone that cost 1,300 euro.
If there is a such app I would pay that even 100 euro. It would be a stupid app that everybody must have.
The phone won't automatically sync with a PC (at least not with non-Samsung PCs). You will need to sync via a cloud service like OneDrive, Google Photos, Dropbox, Etc. You then access them via your PC.
If you have a Samsung Galaxy Book laptop, then you can send photos wirelessly, but I don't think it's automatic.
I use OneDrive and configured the Gallery app to sync with it. When I take a photo Gallery uploads it to OneDrive, which I then can open it on any of my devices that I have; which includes a Dell Inspiron desktop, Surface Pro 6, Surface Laptop 1, and a Galaxy Tab S7.
Microsoft Phonelink will also allow you to access your photos directly from your PC, but you have to configure Link to Windows to pair with your PC.
You can configure Gallery to sync any folder that contains images, including RAW dng images.

There is an app called foldersync pro. I've been using this app for more than 4-5years. It works perfectly for your needs. You can setup scheduled syncs, immediate sync, two-way or one-way sync etc.. It's a very stable and reliable app. It'll do a CIFS based transfer. So as long as you setup a network share folder on your PC, you're all set.
I have a sync setup to clean up the directories of interest on my phone and upload it to my local server and then I access the content from plex!
Cloud sync is not so good. Because large files are compressed and quality is lost. Especially for videos. Or you must pay extra for more cloud space. The best way is direcr wi fi comunicatiom between PC and phone. Windows phone app is good enough and stable.

Not true. I sync using OneDrive and there is no compression. Neither does Google Photos nor Lightroom.
