Hi,

I'm really struggling to get some images off of my old N85. The Nokia before the N85 was a 6500 Slide and quite simply, I plugged the USB in, iPhoto opened and transferred the images. Easy!

I've tried doing it via Bluetooth, and the USB, but nothing works. The USB doesn't even register - and it just comes up with 'Connection Error' when I attempt to send them via Bluetooth. There isn't a memory card in the phone, but all the images are stored to the phone and I'm struggling to see why that would be an issue anyway? Especially with the bluetooth option. The N85 doesn't appear as a disk on the desktop, or within iPhoto or Picasa to import from. (It did with the 6500) When I connect the USB to the phone I get four options of USB mode: PC Suite, Mass Storage, Image Transfer and Media Transfer. I've tried all options to no avail?

To be honest, I hate that phone, if it wasn't for the fact that one of those 'we buy your phone' companies were offering me £130 for it, then I would actually take great delight in smashing it up with a large hammer! It's the worst phone I've ever had! So many issues with it, I can't be bothered to rant on though. I use an iPhone normally, but I've always used two phones (work / personal) and before the iPhone came along I had Nokias since the late 90's, you could say I swore by them. Now I swear at them! Well the N85 anyway. Roll on the 24th July when I can get the new one and have two iPhones!

So, any ideas people? I'm using a MacBook, iPhoto as default but I have installed Picasa if there's a way there? Maybe it's a Mac / Nokia issue, I can try it on a PC and stick the images on a memory stick? That's no bother, but it's very annoying, and to be honest, a little bit baffling....

Tools,Settings,Phone,Connection,USB and select Mass Storage or Image Transfer then connect to your mac. I'm at work on my PC (ARGHH) but I think that will work.
