I need serious Slvr help

Hi,
So I got my Slvr from best buy on Thursday. My carrier is Sprint. I did not recieve a USB cable or headphones or anything else with my phone other than the Slvr, and the charger, along with the SD card. So here's my problems:

1) The same cable I use for my digital camera works for the USB connector in the slvr, so I am able to plug my phone into my ACER and the computer sees the phone L7, but it asks for drivers to install the software. I didn't get any software with my phone. It shows a USB device has been connected and it knows what kind of USB device it is, but I cannot access it from My Computer or any other way. Is there software or drivers I have to download in order to access my phone?

2) I am able to put MP3s into my music folder when I had the SD card plugged in to the computer, and they play on my phone. But when I do the same thing with .3gp files that I have coverted and placed in the "Video" file I cannot see them in my phone. What am I doing wrong? I took a video on the phone and I can play it on the computer, but I cannot take a 15 second clip that I have converted to the same file type as the video coming off my phone and view it on my Slvr. What am I doing wrong? I convert, do the drag and drop into the Video's file already on the SD card and I cannot see it.

3) How the heck do you create ringtones and put them on? I have a edited a clip of a song that I want to place on my phone to make a ringer out of, and I can't do it. Again, I put the music file in every folder on the phone, as I did with my video, and again, I cannot see the file anywhere. I have tried mp4, mp3 and it doesnt seem to work.

Thank you in advance. I need help, any advice will be useful.
Thank you,
David

Darknight welcome to CPF

in order to tranfer media and audio you will need software like Mobile Phone Tools.

Here's a tutorial for you > Tony's Link

no, thats not whats he talking bout tony. when you first hook up your phone to the comp, it'll ask you to install drivers, click install cuase it will install directly from your phone.no disk.

I could not hook up my L6 via USB without Mobile Phone Tools. Windows has a hard time assigning a driver to the SLVR for some reason. The program comes bundled with the driver you need.

i had the same problem but then i figured it out.you gotta change connection to data fax connection" in your phone to allow access with mobil phone tools. i'm always stoned,so it took me awhile to figure this out.

Tha OP asked for software, i simply pointed to which one he can use....

I used Mobile Phone Tools for my phone. I have several Motos and it updates automatically so it makes all the transfering really simple for me! ????????????????????????[/COLOR]

Yes like i said, MPT, though i don't see what advertising your site has to do with the issue at hand.

you dont need MPT to connect your phone to your computer. thats the beauty of BLUETOOTH! buy a cheap USB dongle on ebay, and use the program it comes with, and you are set. its very easy to use, and wireless!!!

if you got questions PM me or just post on here

yes log in at MOTODEV and download the newest drivers under search motodev type Drivers then search you will see USB Drivers for Motorola Products then download the ones that you need for the OS of your PC
