Photos from pc to camera, can I do that?

Options
I seem to have more questions on this board than any other!

I tried to send a photo from my pc to my phone and it filled the memory and froze the phone

Is it possible to do it, I suppose I'm doing something wrong

Any advice in "simple" terms would be great

    you need to give a bit more detail,
    what phone have you got, has it got a memory card (if yes what size, how much have you used)
    what size was the photo and where was you trying to transfer to memory card or phone memory

    Hi
    It's a Nokia 6230i and it has an extra memory card in it,

    After I transferred the photo from the comp I tried to send a second one and it said the memory was full.
    I tried to set the first one as wallpaper and the phone behaved like the comp does when it needs a defrg and all that

    I deleted them and took 20 photos from the phone camera without any bother.
    so I don't think the phone memory is the problem although I've just reread your question and I've no idea if I was sending it to phone or memory card!!
    I just plugged it in and it said data transfer service or something like that.

    As said in the original question, what is the size of the picture you are trying to send to your phone, if its 1-3 Mb then its probaby to big for your phone, the reason it say this is because 1-3 Mb for a picture will be quite a large resolution size and your phone may not be able to covert it,
    you need to resize your pics to about 640 x 480 or there abouts will will be a few hundred Kb in size and that should be OK
