Motorola 375 unable to charge phone through computer or download photos-managed to find a usb cable and even though phone brochure said i did not need a driver to access computer i am unable to do so

Try a different cable -- and that happened to me recently. Also - I reinstalled the driver for the phone and found the USB Mass storage driver under Windows/system/devices and got it working.

Most cell phones come with a USB cable to both charge and to connect the cell phone. Connect the Phone and your computer using the supplied USB cable. The computer should automatically sense the connection. If required the computer may also install drivers needed to communicate with your phone.
If a dashboard for phone management (file transfer) come up, use that to copy your photos to your computer, If not, in a windows computer go to Windows Explorer. The phone should show as an attached device (removable).
Use windows Explorer to transfer the files.

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/steven_7f54ab9063554f66

You need to go to nokia.com and download the drivers relevant to your model of phone i think nokia does a phone suite too enabling you to download all content using one application.

this is a uninstalled driver issue...although you install the usb driver it is still not sorted in device manager ,,you need to go into device manager and re install driver manually.....

Hi are the photos on a external memory card. If so use a card reader and transfer the photos to the computer that way. I do this all of the time with mine. Good luck,

you need to check the usb cable. if you have a proper connection then you need to install a driver for your phone to be recognize.

you will need motorola phone tools in order to transfer photos and music to your phone. and for information, your phone can only have 1.5mb memory therefore it wont hold much pictures

You do not need a driver to transfer photos to/from your phone by USB, but you DO need the driver to charge by USB.

Get the driver from www.motorola.com

To connect via USB to transfer files, make sure the phone is idle with the home screen showing, then connect directly to your computer (do not use a hub). It might take a short while for the phone to connect. You will see a message on the phone's screen asking if you want to connect external storage, press yes & wait again. Eventually the phone's screen will go white with black text telling you you cannot not the phone for anything else while you are connected to the computer. When you see this message, click on MY COMPUTER on your computer & you will see, along with your C drive & any other drives you have installed a device called MS DEVICE. Click on this and you're into your phone & there are 2 folders, one for pictures & one for audio. You can also drag & drop small mp3 files into the audio folder and use them as ringtones. You will need to make these files short, mono & low quality (40kbps is about best) in order to store them on this phone, which has a tiny memory & no slot to add a card to increase it.

If you get the driver (which you only need for USB charging, nothing else) then when you connect & the phone asks if you want to use external storage and you click "no" the phone will start to charge via the USB. This can sometimes take longer than using the regular mains power supply & only works when the computer is switched on.

I would suggest getting your socket checked
