Dear experts.   I have just changed my mobile to an Alcatel one touch, which is a cheap but all I need phone.  I have been trying to move a photo from my mobile to my HP photo programme.  When I use "Import photos"  my mobile does not show.   The hidden icons does not show that my safely removed storeage has been replace either.  What am I doing wrong please.   Simple terms please, I am 80 and non tech.

You need to install the software/driver from Alcatel so it connects to your phone to connect to the Notepad otherwise if you can't get this to work it will not connect.

Many thanks.  I will give it a go.

Maybe you can try mobile transfer tool to transfer photos from mobile to notepad. It can directly transfer data like contacts, text messages, photos, apps, musics, etc between mobile devices. Just search it noline by yourself.

Thank you all for your suggestions.  Tried them all, still no further forward, no doubt due to my incompetance and not understanding what I am doing.
