I have changed this Joan Ann now is it that if I want to re-dial I just press
the call button again? I also changed a setting, I think to give me an alert
if someone else is calling. Would that be correct?

Hi Eleanor
If you want the phone to automatically re-dial a number, there is an option
for this under settings, phone and call. This could be slightly different for
your phone model.

Thank you very much Joan Ann I thought that but just wanted you to confirm
which folder. Now I am well on the way. What about re-dialling a number, I am
stuck on that one.

Hi Eleanor
I'm delighted that you succeeded in your task, sorry my way didn't work
for you. If you can remember how you transferred the ring tone, the same
principle applies for the pictures except that they go into the images folder.
Joan Ann.

first of all I am very stupid. Secondly thank you I have succeeded in
the task. Finally I regret to say not through the route you told me. I
followed you to the letter as you know and I could not find them. The
strangest thing ever is that when I tried again I could not reproduce your
route. My phone said Data Transfer On so I selected that. It then went on
about something in Memory that could not be stored so I accepted that too.
Then I found some folders and one of them was Digital. I went in to that and
identified some current ring tones and pasted mine in. The first time I tried
and pulled out the plug so to speak, I got a warning that my data had not been
saved as I did not do this correctly. I was disgusted. Then I am a great one
for perseverance so had to go through the wretched thing again. Worse still I
had turned off the computer. I thought next time I will reproduce your route
but again this did not happen. I went in to digital folder in any case and
pasted by files. When I looked for them in Profile I just could not believe
it, there they were and what's more to prove it to myself I was able to change
the ring tone to the one of my choice, Soldier's Song. Then I tested it and it
was simply brilliant. Sorry Joe Ann that I was unable to reproduce your route
but I managed anyway. You gave me the confidence to give it a go. I am so
delighted with this Talks and the phone. Up to this I've had a mobile for
about 7 years and all I could do was make a call. Now I am doing so much with
this one in a few days. I need to get on to learning how to text now and I am
then well away. I will do that next week as I have study I need to get back to
instead of playing with my new phone but once my assignment goes in and while I
am waiting to start training with my new dog, I will consolidate the text
messaging.
Thank you once again. If you know how I transfer pictures too I would
appreciate learning that Joe Ann. I would want to transfer them in both
directions. It would be easy to work out once I know how to transfer to the
phone then I would do the same in reverse so to speak.
Now I want to know how do I stop the phone telling me the date each
time I unlock the keypad?

Hi Eleanor
My digital folder was empty too until I put ring tones into it and,
now, when I go to profiles and go to select a tone to use, they show up for me.
They should show up as the names they were originally called on your
computer.
What kind of files are they?
Joan Ann.

Joan Ann I followed exactly what you told me to do but I cannot
find my ring tone and message alert on profiles. Maybe I am not looking in the
right place. I definitely copied my files to the Digital folder but I was a
little worried at the time as there did not seem to be anything else in that
folder. Should I have identified them by name or what?

Hi Eleanor
This may sound a little complicated but, I will try my best to
explain this procedure to you.
I am using the e51 with talks but, I'm pretty sure the procedure
for the n95 is similar.
Firstly, you need to install a program called Nokia PC suite on
to your computer. The version I am using is 6.82.22.0. There is a later
version available but, I find this version quite accessible with jaws. The
installation is straight forward.
The next step is to attach your phone to the computer using the
USB cable. PC suite will start installing the driver for your phone. This
could take up to 5 minutes so, it is best to just let the computer work away on
its own.
When this has finished, you should launch PC suite from the
desktop.
Now, as I am using jaws, I press insert and page down and it
tells me that "nokia e51 connected via USB". I think this message is located
towards the bottom of the screen.
Now, given that you are successful in connecting your phone, you
do the following:
1. Find the ring tone and message alert that you want to use and
copy them to the clipboard.
2. Go to windows explorer and under the list of drives, you
should see one that says nokia n95 and select this.
3. Here, I get a list of 2 folders, phone memory and memory card.
4. Choose phone memory.
5. You now have a folder called Data so select this.
6. In this list of folders, there is one called sounds so,
select this.
7. In this folder, choose "digital". We will paste the files
into this folder. You can now disconnect the phone.
Now when you go to profiles on your phone, the ring tone and
message alert should be available for you to use.
I'm sorry this is so long and I really hope it makes sense. Feel
free to ask questions.
Joan Ann.

PC
Hi All
Does anyone know how I can transfer two files (ring tone and
message alert) from my PC to Mobile. I will do this using a USB cable and have
installed the necessary mobile phone software on to my PC so am all ready to go
if someone can write out for me the various stages. Once I have the music in a
folder I then want to know how to put it in the ring tones folder, likewise
with the message alert. Now let's face it folks, I don't ask for much!!!!!!!!!
My phone is N95 but I guess it is the principal of the thing. Brian has told
me he has not transferred like this though I am aware he has a N95. Actually
maybe one does not even need the software when transferring files though now I
am probably being stupid. I hear sighted people talking about dragging and
dropping which is the same as cutting and pasting so we must be able to do this
with Talks.
Eleanor
