Trouble with Connecting to V CAST

Use the V CAST Music Manager. Download it for free at www.verizonwireless.com/music/musicmanager. Music Manager works only with Windows XP and Windows Vista with Windows Media Player 10 or later. Mac OS is not supported.

Well, for music...
Install the supplied software for your Dare on your computer.
In "My Music" select "Sync".
You can now see your Dare as a USB device but only music is accessible. :{

For photos the easiest way is to use a micro SD card and a card reader.
Store or move photos from your internal memory on your Dare to the micro SD card.
Transfer the micro SD card to your computer with either a built in card reader or a USB card reader.

The next alternative is to use a program like BitPim which can be a little tricky and can delete or copy all of your personal data (images, tones, contacts, etc...) depending on which button you press. The two buttons look very similar. Great way to download free ring tones and upload to your phone for free.

Install the provided LG Dare software on your computer.
Using your USB cord, connect the phone to the computer.
Open windows Media Player.
Media Player should see your phone.
In the sync screen, drag music from your library to the sync column and then select sync.
This will copy the selected music to your phone.

Photos are easiest with a micro SD card, otherwise, you need software like BitPim.
Transfer photos to and from the micro SD card and the insert in your phone.

This option allows you to transfer music files from your PC. In order to use this option, you must install V CAST Music with Rhapsody on your PC. 1. Open V CAST Music with Rhapsody software. Don’t have V CAST MUSIC with Rhapsody software? Download it for free at www.verizonwireless.com/music. 2. Install the device USB drivers before connecting your phone to a PC. USB Cable and Device Drivers can be purchased separately via the Music Essentials Kit compatible with this device. 3. From the main screen on your phone, the SYNC MUSIC V CAST MOBILE PHONE display appears. Your phone should display the message: Connected. Connection may take a few seconds. 4. Drag and drop the song(s) you want to sync from My Library, to your V CAST Music with Rhapsody mobile phone, listed under the Sources tab. Once synchronization is complete, press the END/Power Key and disconnect the USB cable (purchased separately). 5. Under the Music & Tones menu, open My Music to view and play your music. • A compatible USB cable (sold separately) is required for syncing. • Music can also be purchased via V CAST Music with Rhapsody through your PC.
Hope this helps, let me know if I can help you with anything else.

WITHOUT sd card

select what program you use to sync with wmp, media monkey etc.

if you cant get that far make sure you have needed drivers, if possible try with different pc and or different usb port and i did have a bad oem usb cable

If your just trying to get music on to your phone plug it in and pull up windows Media player on your computer. Go to rip and when it says to insert device on your phone go to my music and touch the sync option and let it to it's then you should be able to put music on that way

go to download.com and get the data for the phone. its a tiny file that makes your computer recognize that the phone is plugged in. of course.. VISSTA has to be more complicated. :) thanks microsoft

Using your supplied USB cable, connect your phone (after installing the drivers) to your computer.
On your phone, goto "My Music" and click on "sync".

Option 1:
Your Windows "Portable Device" connect pop up should appear.
Double click on "Sync digital media files to this device..." OR

You have to install the USB sync drivers from your supplied CD-ROM before you can sync music.
Then select the "Music" option this will likely give you a prompt on your computer as to what to do next...

Instead of doing the sync music, try saving your music into your itunes account or on a flash drive. Than just plug your phone into the computer, click on settings, then tools, then USB mass storage. Open the file on your computer, than simply drag and drop your songs from the file on the computer or flash drive, into the phone's file folder. Drop it into your memory card on your phone or just in my music. (I personally recommend getting a micro SD card for the phone so you can hold more songs) good luck!
