Palm TungstenTM handheld T5 User Manual

For Mac Users:

Using Photos, Videos, and Music on Your Device

Your device comes with a media application for viewing and managing photos and videos. If you want to listen to music files, use the RealPlayer™ application on your device.

This guide describes how you can:

• Move photos and videos stored on your device onto your Mac computer.

• Install photo, video, and music (MP3) files that you have on your computer onto your device.

Note Other devices from palmOne (formerly known as Palm, Inc.) may not come with applications for managing photos or videos and playing music. See the Getting Started Guide that came with your device for more information.

Transferring Photos and Videos from Your Device to Your Computer

If your device has a camera, you can capture photos and videos, and then view and work with them in the media application on your device. When you synchronize your computer and your device, the photos and videos taken with the device’s camera are transferred to your computer.

Photos are stored as JPEG files in the folder Home/Pictures/palmOne Photos/<Palm User Name>. Videos are stored in the folder Home/Movies/palmOne Videos/<Palm User Name> on your compute r. Use QuickTime to view, and QuickTime Pro, iMovie or another Mac application to edit the video.

Important: Video clips that you capture with your Zire™ 72 handheld cannot be played on a Mac. For more information, please go to www.palmOne.com/support/zire72

If your device has a camera, these notes may be helpful:

• Only photos taken with the device camera are copied to the desktop Photos folder when you synchronize.

• If you change the photo on your device and synchronize, the original photo that was copied to the Photos folder is not touched.

• If you delete a photo from your device, the copy remains in the Photos folder.

• If a newer photo has the same name as the copy, the file name of the new photo has a number added to

the end (for example, Picture2.jpg).

Even if your device doesn’t have a camera, you can use the media application to work with photos. Use the Send To Handheld droplet to transfer photos from your Mac computer to your device.

Transferring Photo, Video, and Music (MP3) Files onto Your Device

Sometimes you receive photo, video, or music files that you want to use on your device. To transfer them onto your device, use the Send To Handheld droplet. Drag and drop the supported photo, video, and music (MP3 audio) files on the Send To Handheld droplet to transfer the files. The next time you synchronize your device and your computer, the files are transferred to your device.

Note: The Tungsten™ T5 handheld has a large internal flash drive (approximately 170MB) on whi ch you can transfer photos, videos, and music files. For example, when you synchronize, you can synchronize them to the Photos & Videos folder on the internal drive. Use the media application on your device to view photos and videos on the internal drive.

Transferring Photos

With the Send To Handheld droplet, you can transfer most photo file types, including JPEG, GIF, BMP, and TIFF files. When you transfer file types other than JPEG, the droplet converts them to JPEG files. To convert photos in various formats so they are viewable on your device, you need QuickTime installed.

Note: If the Photos or Media application is not installed on your device, you cannot store photos or videos on your device. You can, however, store JPEG files on an expansion card even if your device does not have the Photos or Media application.

To transfer photos onto your device

1. Open the Palm folder, and locate the Send To Handheld droplet. Tip: Add the Send To Handheld droplet to the Dock by dragging the droplet into the Dock.

2. Drag and drop the photo files that you want to transfer onto the droplet.

3. Select the desired username and destination.

4. (Optional) Select the option Optimize for Handheld Screen Resolution to resize any large photos. Optimizing the photo uses less memory on your device.

If the photo’s longest side is greater than 640 pixels, the droplet automatically scales the photo to 640 x

640 pixels while maintaining its original aspect ratio.

5. Click OK.

6. Click OK, and then synchronize your device with your computer to transfer the files to your device.

Tip: You can also drag and drop photos directly from iPhoto onto the droplet.

Transferring Video Clips

To move a video from your computer to your device, drag the video file to the Send To Handheld droplet, and then synchronize to transfer the file. If you want to view video clips on your device, you must have QuickTime 6.5 installed. When you drag the video file to the Send To Handheld droplet, the video clip is converted into a format that you can view on your device.

Note The Send To Handheld droplet can convert most types of video formats but not all. Some types of QuickTime movies, including some animations that include sprites, VR, and 3D tracks, can't be converted.
