Any way to transfer unusable files from you Lumia ...

After a lot of searching and mind bogglingly confusing leads, I have understood this-
Lumia DOES NOT show the unsupported file contents in your phone
Now,personally I love my 520, but I think this is a HUGE setback for WP8 phone owners,
Nonetheless, my question today is this:
Is is possible to transfer files which are not supprted by your WP8 phone into your PC via a USB?
I realize that this is shown (as a category, and not as individual files) under "Temporary files" in FILE STORAGE on the 520, but I want to know if I can EVER get my hands on the videos which I took from someone else, which are not being shown on my phone, instead of downright deleting them, thus freeing up the space?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Not sure what you mean by unsupported files. If you mean files downloaded to the phone through an app on the phone then yes, those files are locked to the app in question and will not be visible to other apps or though the MTP connection with a PC and so can't be transferred off the phone.

In purchasing a new computer, I was wondering if there is anyway to transfer all those songs from my ipod to my computer via itunes which I just recently installed????
any help would be awesome!!!!

One way would be to use a third party utility, here are a couple:
iPod Agent: http://www.ipodsoft.com/index.php?/software/ipodagent
YamiPod: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive posted in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=797432#797432

Is there any way to transfer photos, music from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

Is there any way to transfer photos, music, from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Is there any way to get the files from other computer ?

Hai all,
I have 2 computers connected. I know the IP address of other computer. Is there any way to get the files from other computer. (for e.g. I want to get the files from specific folder. In Java netwroking is it possible? (Any programs)

Bro Take it easy.
Think you need to send a Image file named ("abc.gif")
now develop a server using ServerSocket and connect it in local IP and any PORT
For example i think ur server is connected in "localhost" and 9000 port.
Now make ur server educated using some commands.
For example:
FileName: <File Name String>
[Means new file is sending by connected client]
FileSize: <File size long or int value>
[ So that ur server can determind about the total length of sender file]
DataModeOpen
[Now your client will send its image data, this command means your client software is sending data]
fjadlkfjaofaijojfwoeiurfodkjflsajlfksa
l23j4lj23lkjlasjfoq23j4rokjelfkjasldkf
2o3j4lk2j3ljslakdjf2l3j4 l23kjlk23k4j
DataModeClose
[Means file sending finished]
Close
[Means your client connection is closed]
Now develop a client supporting this command.
For example(Server):
String getFileName=null;
long getFileSize=0;
public handleCommand(String getCmd) {
    if(getCmd.startsWith("FileName")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileName=   splitData[1];
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("FileSize")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileSize=Long.parseLong(splitData[1]);
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeOpen")) {
           //data mode open so receive data
          receiveData();
          outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeClose")) {
          //close client socket
         getClientSocket.close();
}For client:
DataInputStream dataIn=null;
BufferedOutputStream bout=null;
public sendFile(bytes[] getBytes) {
        //if ok found then do other or show error message
    if(sendCmd("FileName:"+getFileName)) {
        if(sendCmd("FileSize:"+getFileSize)) {
            if(sendCmd("DataModeOpen")) {
               bout.write(getBytes);
            } else {
               showError(3);
        } else {
               showError(2);
   } else {
        showError(1);

Is there any way to transfer my contacts from my Droid to my new I Phone 5C ?

Is there any way to transfer my contacts from my Droid to my new I Phone 5C?

It depends on how your conctacts are stored.
Assuming your Droid has an associated Gmail account and your contacts are stored in that gmail account, you can set it up on the iPhone through Settings->Mail Contacts & Calendars->Add Account->Other->Add CardDav Account
Enter your Gmail settings there. and the iPhone will download your contacts to the Contacts App. They will remain synced.
If they are not on Gmail, you would need to tell us how they are stored so we can offer a more precise suggestion.

Is there any way to transfer my media from my ipod touch to my new pc? The media is not currently in my itunes library.

I can not upgrade my ipod touch because music that is currently on there will be lost. Is there any way to transfer the media that I currently have on my touch to my itunes library or my pc?

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases.
Copy everything from your old copmputer, or your backup copy of your old copmputer to your new one.

Is there any way to constantly update files from pc to ipad (Over WiFi)?

I use my iPad as a reader. i.e. I work on documents on my PC, then transfer them to my iPad and use those documents for quick reference on the go. Now, the problem is that I have to keep updating/modify the documents on PC. So every time I have to delete the older documents from my iPad and copy the newer ones. Now that's so time consuming.
A one way (PC to iPad) sync is what I need. I know that this can be done with by lot of apps (dropbox, sugarsync, etc.), however they need internet connectivity. I want to transfer/sync over my home network. On android there are lot of apps to do this while I am yet to find a decent one for the iPad. Can anyone please suggest me one or a workaround?

Look at goodreader or DocsToGo. It will sync files from any file servers. Set up a file server on your machine. ie. share a folder from your machine. Read below for more details.
Don't you have the internet at home? So what's the problem with dropbox etc?
How are you copying now?
Some over the air methods.
Windows File server

Configure WebDave on your server.
This thread has good info.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3708341?tstart=0
I'd guess there is a local sync option for business. You just need to find it.
google:
sync ipad file local net
I'll now look for some.

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my ipad2 thinking i could retrieve it from my windows pc. I have turned on home sharing and can see my pc library from the ipad but not vice-versa. Is there any way to transfer the album from my ipad library?

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?

Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

Any way to convert a file from Movie playlist to TV show playlist?

Hi, I just uploaded a few tv shows from my computer to itunes, but unfortunately, the tv show i uploaded went to the Movies playlist.
I cannot drag the file over to tv show no matter how hard i try. It stays on Movies.
Is there any way to change this?
Thanks!

You can right click on the title, and choose GET INFO, there's a tab there, i think it's OPTION and choose TV SHOW (default is on MOVIES)
