Problem connecting k300i mobile phone to computer with dcu-11 cable, driver needed?

Wanting to get the photos and such off my old mobile onto my computer, I bought a dcu-11 usb data cable to connect said Sonry Ericsson k300i mobile phone and do so. However, I've had no luck in getting the connection recognized. The cable fits and everything, but when I put it in no drivers are found (installing the software on the disc provided apparently didn't work in the first place) and under device manager (I have Windows 7 by the way if that makes a difference to everything) it just shows the cable as "unspecified" and is just named "usb cable dcu-11". The automatic search for drivers didn't work either.
After much googling, there seemed to be a solution here http://www.expansys.com/ft.aspx?k=60242 however, the Sony Ericsson page that was linked no longer exists it seems, so I'm stuck as to what to do now.
I assume it's just that I need the correct driver, I have the Sony Ericsson PC Suite but that also says no phone is connected. I'd appreciate any help with this I can get.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for delay replying - bereavement.
I don't have a USB option in Connectivity, it focuses on internet connectivity. I have an infrared option but my PC does not support infrared.
I scoured the internet for a data cable for this particular mobile, it was very hard to come by, managed to get one, it is working, but without the software for this particular mobile I don't think I'm ever going to get these photos off :/

HT1369 I have an Alpine car stereo with USB port for my iPod, most recently an error message apperared. Now I am having a problem connecting to iTunes via my computer, with windows 7. The screen on my iPod still shows the Alpine logo and "Ok to Disconne

Please help. My iPod froze up after playing in Alpine car stereo. The screen shows the "Alpine" logo and the message "ok to disconnect" I have tried to connect to my PC with little success. Windows 7 does not recognize the iPod with the error message "device error". I have run the iTunes Diagnostics but it still does not recognize device as "connected"

See my reply to "Transferring Tunes" . Suggestion: From what you said, it sounds like you could easily connect this iPod to a Windows computer. Go back to the computer where you have the 3600 songs. Get the files out of the folder where they reside and put them on the iPod as data (your iPod has to be set up for disc use. So you will then have your music on there as the iTunes music AND the data files. Take that iPod to your Mac. Drag those files from the Finder, where you will see them on your iPod, which will mount like an external disc. (It was set up for disc use). Drag those files to your iTunes Library in the Source List (on the left) in iTunes. You might have to drag them into some interim folder on your harddrive first, like the Music folder within your User.

Can I connect apple tv to my computer with eather net cable?

Wanting to direct connect my mbp to apple tv since my parents do not have wifi, is there a way to do this and be able to use home share?

Yes. It does so perfectly with an off-the-shelf ethernet cable.

"there was a problem connecting to the server. URLS with the type 'file' are not supported"

i have a new macbook pro 13" and every 6 minutes or so it pops up a window that says "there was a problem connecting to the server. URLS with the type 'file' are not supported". it never seems to cause any problems but is supremely annoying. how can i make this come to an end?

I tried someone's solution of taking another external disc and plugging it in, then when it showed up and time machine asked if I wanted to use it or that someone might be trying to trick me, I chose not use it. Then I shut down my computer, plugged in the original Lacie, and rebooted the computer and all seems to work fine now-- the Lacie appears on my desktop and all seeems to be in working order. Who knows why or anything else,- as weird as it gets- but for now things seemed fixed--- maybe others can try this too-- it worked for me so far.

I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server.

I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
Thank you!

Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

Hi - I need help. I would like to use my old iPhone 3 as an iPod for music only. Problem is that my phone is locked with a password I can't remember. I havent used the phone since I got my iPhone 4. Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard installation or just get acces to the phone. There is no SIM card in the phone.

Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´ Those were good days..... What a City

Resync it from your iTunes library. Music is not included in your backup.

Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
You're ignoring context. On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers. The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies. Then came Lion. The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest. (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable. (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems. I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there. Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
The people helping here are all volunteers. None of them is being paid for the time they spend here. They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities. It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

My apple tv3, serial no. C07JWBZ9DRHN is not powering on. Connected with Computer, with micro USB cable with power on, it is not shown in Devices. How to rectify

You have to remove all cables before connecting to your computer with micro usb. Power is only connected when using a 3rd gen device and done after the initial connection.
