Connecting to a Computer

Connect your device to a computer to transfer data between
your device and the computer. Use the USB cable that comes
with your device, or use one of the pre-loaded apps on your
device to connect wirelessly.
Transferring Data
Connect your device to a computer, using the USB cable, to
transfer data as a Media device using MTP (Media Transfer
Protocol), or as a Camera using PTP (Photo Transfer

cable. Your device recognizes the connection as the
last connection method you used, and displays a
