Everythings going wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

The LG Shine is a nice phone, but it is very disappointing with the USB cable.
You may expect the cable would connect the phone to your PC for Calendar Sync, music, videos etc.
Obviously, this will not work.
It will only allow you to hook your LG Shine to your PC to copy music and video files ONLY if you have a Micro SD card in the phone inserted.
After you have copied the files to the Micro SD card from your PC, you can copy them to the phone memory.

There are nice websites with free management programs for also the LG phone, but the Shine is unfortunately NOT listed (yet).

go to menu, then settings. push 2,6,1 and it will set it to automatic and it will be english.

From my experience with the LG KE970 if you have a memory card, the synchronization creates a new folder named music in the memory card which doesn't show itself when i remove it from the computer. So my suggestion is that you only copy music directly on the phone in the folder Sounds like you do with a USB.

If you want to put music files from your laptop onto your LG Shine, you can either use a LG USB cable or a Micro SD Card.The Micro SD card will probably need an additional adapter to have it big enough for your Laptop or PC slot. Once the music files are on the Micro SD card, insert the card into your LG Shine and go to My Stuff". Then, select "Audio and ringtones" and select the file on your memory card. Press the "Options" button and select the copy function and paste it into your phone.

Have you installed the program that came with the phone? You have to install the mobile and PC sync program so that you can put songs on your phone. Go into the LG Phone Manager and plug in your phone by USB. Click on "Transfer" and then "Connect" to connect the phone to the computer. Then click on "Contents" on the left side of the screen and drag in the music files into the right folder. I hope that this has helped. :)

go to the files on the actual computer and put them in the music folder because when you put them on to your phone they wont go into a folder you want to see them on your phone

You need to check if somehow you enabled a zone protection ,,,
Also try to
1.clean the lens
2.Reinstal drivers (find them in my computer right click properties device manager)
3. Use some other burning softvare i sugest Ashampoo burning studio...

I think the problem is with the music, because some phones does not accept some kind of music, i mean the format: WMA, MP3, WAV, I suggest you to go back to the phone's book and search for what format of music your Mp3 cellphone Accept..

How to transfer music, ringtones, wallpaper, pictures, etc to ShineThis is relatively straightforward. The Shine just works as a removable USB drive.

1. Switch on the Shine ,and make sure it's in USB removable disk mode - it usually is, by default (Menu, Settings, Connectivity, USB connection, select Mass storage i.e. make sure that's ticked).

(Note: don't connect it to computer then turn on the Shine, it doesn't seem to like it. Make sure it's switched on before you connect it to the computer.)

2. Connect it to your computer with the supplied USB cable. (Unlike with the Chocolate, you can then close the slider and this will still work. But best to leave the slider open as you connect it, just in case.)

3. Open your computer's file manager e.g. My Computer or Windows Explorer if you have a Windows computer.

4. The Shine will show up as an extra removable disk, in the case of my computer it's drive G, see the pic below which shows its subfolders (Documents, images, Others etc):


5. In fact, two separate removable drives will show up:

• one for the Shine phone's built-in internal memory (just 50 MB for the current 2G model, see my review - a 3G Shine phone with 560 MB internal memory will be launched soon), and
• one for any micro-SD card you get (no card supplied; you have to buy your own but you can get up to 2GB) - in the pic above it's drive F, the card shows up as an earlier letter than the phone memory, go figure. Of course if you don't have a card you'll just get "Please insert a disk into drive WHATEVER" if you try to click on the memory card's drive and you'll have to Cancel out of it).

6. There are several subfolders for the Shine internal memory, as you can see from the pic (your mileage may vary):

• Documents - put DOC, XLS, PPT, PDF, TXT files in here and you can view them on the phone if they're not too big
  
• images - put JPEGs, GIFs and SWF files in here
  
• Others - use this as storage for files you want to transport. You can't view or play anything that's in here, sadly. But you can put .jad and .jar files for Java games and other Java applications in here, and install them from here - see below.
  
• Sounds - put MP3s or WAVs in here for ringtones or the music player - yes you can have subfolders unlike with the Chocolate, see below
  
• Videos - put video files here.
  

7. You can just drag and drop (or copy/paste) music files etc to and from the Shine folders and your computer via your file manager. For example you can backup voice files recorded with the Shine, or pics or videos taken with the Shine camera, to your computer from the Sounds and images (or Videos) folder.

Sounds folder - the Shine manual is misleading (well OK, never mind tact, it's just plain wrong). It says you have to put MP3s in the Sounds folder only (there are wrong references to a My Media folder too, not to mention an "MP3" folder). That's the case with the Chocolate - you can't play anything that's in a subfolder - but not with the Shine. I started investigating as I noticed that despite the manual there was a menu command to create a new folder within Sounds. From trial and error I've found that:

• you can create a subfolder of Sounds called "MP3", and in fact on my phone anyway the original sounds from the phone as well as new stuff magically appears in that folder
• you can also create other subfolders within Sounds, and both WAVs and MP3s put into that folder are fine. So you should be able to organise your music more easily into subfolders, and still play them. Which is as it should be.
  

Others folder - on the Chocolate, at least images in the would show if you tried to open them, etc. On the Shine, the Others folder is pretty useless. You can't do anything with stuff in there. The only function of the Others folder as far as I can see is to act as storage, a holding area for files which you might want to use your Shine to transport between two computers.

Documents folder - for Word, text, Excel, Powerpoint and PDF documents - they'll display on the Shine if you put them in that folder. Read-only, i.e. you can only view them, you won't be able to edit them. But you can move around the document quite well and zoom in and out. Note you can only open small documents - you can try transferring big documents to the Shine if you like, but if you try to view them it may not do it, or may crash, or both.

images folder - a fun touch - if you have Flash .SWF files, you can put them in images and play them on the Shine. There are some on there already that you can play with; I do!

8. Disconnecting the phone - the Shine has big warnings on its screen about making sure you safely remove hardware. So best to do that. See "Disconnecting" on my Chocolate connectivity post on how (for Windows PCs anyway).

i suggest you dont put in the music through ur computer but through bluetooth . if you have a mac that would be a good way as the macbook hav bluetooth . i have a KE970 but it wont start it restart automatically over and over again . i think the problem is because of a virus i got while downloading imgaes from the net . so make sure you check if you got viru's on the song .
