So, I purchased a 580i from my local ATT store today, and, much to my shagrin, after updating to the newest PC Suite and newest Disc2Phone, I cannot transfer music to my phone from my computer. Whenever I plug in the phone, and double click the drive that shows up, it prompts me to enter a disc into the drive, Also, whenever I open Disc2Phone, it says that I must enter a memory card or hook up my phone through the USB Cable, which it already is.
 
I had a w600i and loved it, but I'm having so much difficult with something that shouldn't be too different. Thanks for any help!

With the 300i, I have the phone off, plug in the USB cord to the phone, then the computer.  Then I open disc2phone, it's ready to go.

i'm having this SAME EXACT PROBLEM. and i've searched EVERYWHERE for an answer with no luck. (i also upgraded from a w600, but i'm sure it's not a computer issue because i used a different computer with my w600).

I'm not certain if this will help, but I put music on my w580i by having the phone turned off, then I plugged in the USB cable and just used Windows to copy the music files over to the phone card drive - it sees it as removable storage.  I didn't have to use Disc2Phone.

I am also having the same problems.  The phone is showing up as a removable drive but I cannot drag anything to it using Windows Explorer.  When I use the Disk2Phone software I am also being prompted to insert a disk.  I'm using Vista, and when I first plugged the USB cable into the phone there were at least 5 different drivers that were automatically upgraded.  This really defeats the purpose of having a "Walkman" phone!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I might be able to help. To access disc2phone your phone has to be in file transfer mode or disc2phone software will not detect it. you can use phone mode to transfer files using windows explorer though but not with disc2phone... and for lennynhazel, the network cable being unplugged doesnt affect your internet or ur ability to transfer anything between ur computer and ur phone. Its just there :smileytongue: Hope i could be of some help.

I was in "file transfer" mode on the phone when I plugged the USB cable in with the phone powered on.  That did not work for me as the pc brought up an "install new hardware" wizard.

However, when I turn the phone off before hooking up the USB cable, all the pc sees ( in "my computer" ) is the memory card (not the phone) as a removable storage device - I didn't drag/drop - I used the copy command; I had the message on the phone about using the "eject hardware" function before removing the cable.
