Technology is not my friend II - Assistance Needed

[Skipadeedoodah]

So, when I bought my new cell phone a week or so ago, the guy there also suckered me into buying this microSD card thing to put mp3's from my computer to my phone.

I bought my computer less than a month ago. It's a brand spankin new Inspiron 530 from Dell, so the guy said it definitely has a reader for this little bitch-card, but I don't know where it is, and I can't find it 🙁

Any help would be very much appreciated 😀

There should be a spot for it on the front of the tower.

It should be in here somewhere...

Mmhmm - that's what I thought, too. I'm probably just not looking hard enough. Muchos gracias mis amores

If that's a Laptop, look for a slot something like this on the front or sides of the laptop.

No no no. MicroSD is a very very small card for use in cell phones, PDA, and other such mobile devices.

You need a MicroSD adapter. See:

This will allow you to fit the MicroSD card into the SD adapter, then the whole thing does into the MS/SD slot on the front of the Dell.

Dell reps are morons. So are Best Buy employees, WalMart employees, and any other chain store employee.

You may be able to find the adapter itself on ebay or something for like, a dollar. They dont really sell them on their own - at least, they are RLY hard to find.

Just curious to know if you checked to see if your phone can be connected to your computer and whether or not you can sync your music through MediaMonkey, iTunes, etc. I understand what the salesman "said" but the upsale is always part of their approach whether really needed or not.

I have both of those little things.

Nope - I never even saw the reason to use my phone to play mp3s, but this guy made it sound absolutely essential to my continued existence. I'm a total sucker for a salespitch. You should see me when I watch informercials My future husband is in some serious trouble LOL

Skip - put the micro SD card into the SD adapter. Then, there should be a slot called "MS/SD" or "SD" on the front.

If you didn't slide the little front panel down, please do so now.

No need. I talked to the Dell people and my computer didn't come with a media card reader or whatever the hell that thing is. They said I can buy a USB one and blah blah blah...the guy at Best Buy said the same thing. I'll probably just return the card thing and continue to not using my phone to play mp3s, which I never really felt the need to do in the first place LOL

Dell = retards

Dell = retards

Thanks anyway babe

Here is what you REALLY SHOULD DO:

To do this you need:

-Five gallons of gasoline.

-A hand gun.

-A railroad spike.

Step 1: Walk into the store humming or whistling a serene sounding tune.

Step 2: Calmly pour the gasoline all over the sales room floor

Step 3: Find the sales guy you dealt with the last time and use the gun to shoot both of his kneecaps out from under him.

Step 4: Walk over to him with a placid look on your face, grab him by the lapels of his sweater vest and calmly tell him that if he dosen't explain EXACTLY how to insert the disk into your computer, you will show him EXACTLY where you'll install the railroad spike into him.

Step 5: Once invormation is divulged, lay salesperson in pool of gasoline and walk out of the store humming/whistling same tune. Light a match and casually throw it over your shoulder.

Hopefully, by the time you get out of prison, the word will have spread around town, and no computer dork will ever fuck with you again.
