I stored pictures on my wd sync v7.0.328 and cannot find a program that will allow me to view them. How do I view my pictures on my computer once they've been stored on this device?

Open iTunes, if it doesn't open automatically. Click on the iOS device in the top bar, then click the Photos tab. Select "Choose folder" from the drop-down menu. Choose to sync "All folders" or "Selected folders", and whether to include video How to Transfer Photos from PC to iPhone

Try going to the "Computer" icon and look for the external drive. Open the ext. drive folder and look for the InstallSeagateManager icon, the Application one. Double-click on it and it will allow you to install the software to do a backup on your new computer. First thing you should see is the Language Selection screen. I think you can take it from there!

You can use it as storage if you would like. You can also delete files once they are put on the passport. When it is connected to the computer open my computer and it will be listed there. You can use it as storage by copying files into this way rather than syncing it. Syncing it could cause you to lose files.

you plug the drive into a usb port.... if it doesn't automatically pop up to allow you to access the drive... go to my computer (or computer on vista) and go in there... it should appear as another drive. double click and you are in the drive.

You need to have the WD Sync program on your computer; you can get it from your WD Passport, or, over the Internet. Once you have the software on your computer, you can synchronize. WARNING: Do not think that theyourWD Passport, using the WD Sync software, is a
backup drive; it is NOT !

As per the documentation with this device:
"synchronization software is intended to synchronize the data from a
computer to the drive (WD Passport) and SHOULD NOT be used as backup
software. To use this software properly, we advise that you do not wipe or
erase the data from the internal hard drive (computer) and resynchronize, as
this will cause the data that WD Sync stored to the Passport to be deleted."

This is why you are hearing so many people saying that they are deleting the
WD Sync software, reformatting, and using the WC Passport as a true backup
drive where you can actually see the files that you are backing up, rather
than a bunch of unrecognizable sync files that likely don't have all the files that you thought you "backed up".

You can use your WD Passport to sychronize data on multiple computers, you just need to set up the other computer name (e.g. "Work computer")using the software.

this is not at all a big deal.it's very simple.
solution 1: connect the cam to your computer and open the folder.
leave it for 2 mins and then view the pictures.
solution:after opening the folder, copy all the pics without viewing.Copy to some location in your computer and you can view the pics there.

this happens because of the size of the memory card of your cam.if the size is large and pics are completely filled, it takes some time to sync.nothing to worry.

Hi Corson,

I've seen this type of issue before when a MyBook was connected to a legacy (1.1) USB port on an older computer or a laptop. Do you know if you're using a USB 2.0 port to connect to the drive?
