How to Upload Photos to a Palm Pre

Upload photos to an HP/Palm Pre by connecting it to a computer.

HP/Palm Pre smartphones include 8 gigabytes of internal memory storage that can be accessed by connecting the phone to a computer. When the device is connected to a computer with a Micro USB to standard USB cable, you can either charge the device or use it as a USB drive. One of these cables is included as a part of the charger that came with your HP/Palm Pre. Once connected, pictures and other files can be transferred to the internal memory in the same way that files transfer to USB flash drives.

Instructions

1. Disconnect the Micro USB to standard USB cable from the charger that came with your HP/Palm Pre phone. If you do not have the default charger for your phone, you can use any Micro USB to standard USB cable.

2. Plug the standard USB end of the cable to an available USB port on your computer.

3. Connect the Micro USB end of the cable to the charger port on your HP/Palm Pre smartphone. A prompt will appear on the touchscreen of your device.

4. Tap the "USB Drive" button on your phone's touchscreen. You will not be able to use your phone while it is connected as a USB drive.

5. Find the photos you want to upload to your HP/Palm Pre on your computer. Select them and then press "Control" (or "Mac symbol" for Mac users) plus "C" on your computer keyboard to copy the photos.

6. Open the drive labeled "Palm Pre" in Windows Explorer, or Finder for Mac users. This drive is the internal memory of your HP/Palm Pre device.

7. Paste the files on to your HP/Palm Pre internal memory by pressing "Control" or "Mac symbol" plus "V."

8. Eject the HP/Palm Pre USB drive before disconnecting the USB cable. You can eject the device by right-clicking the drive icon and selecting "Eject" with your mouse pointer. The photos are now on your device.
