Retrieve Cell Phone Videos

Retrieving or transferring cell phone videos from your phone to your computer requires connecting your cell phone or cell phone's storage device to your computer, via USB cable or SD card adapter. Transferring to and from cell phone to computer follows the same process--the only difference being where you are transferring your videos to. Allow several minutes for large videos to transfer.


Instructions








1. Attach one end of your USB cable to your cell phone and the other to your computer's USB port. If your phone uses an SD storage device, remove the SD card from your phone. Plug your SD card into its adapter, and the adapter into your PC's Micro SD port.


2. Click the "Start" icon in the bottom-left of your computer's main screen. Double-click the "My Computer" button to reveal a list of your computer's drives.


3. Double-click the icon corresponding to your phone under the "Devices With Removable Storage" section.


4. Navigate to your phone or SD card's "Videos" or equivalent folder and locate the video(s) you want transferred to your computer.








5. Open a new Windows Explorer window. Navigate to a folder or location on your hard drive where you want your videos transferred to.


Drag and drop your video's icon from your cell phone's folder to the desired location on your computer and wait for the file(s) to copy.
