I connected it to my laptop and also to my main desktop uostairs because I wanted to put some music on it but it doesn't seem to detect it on either computers..how do I fix this??

Thanks
 
From my understanding, you need to either use the ADB (part of the SDK), or the MicroSD card standalone (in a card reader) to put anything on it. [This could also be because I'm on x86_64 vista, and the drivers aren't exactly *complete* for it, only some half-assed one I found somewhere. xD]


So, check if my computer -> properties -> hardware manager sees an "Android" device, if so download the ADB.

If you have a media card reader, that'd be much easier.
 
when you plug in your phone, the computer won't see the SD Card until you tell Android it's okay. When you plug in, look at your phone, you should get a notificaiton about USB being detected and do you want to mount your card. Say yes, and it should work.

This is the correct answer. The USB indicator will be on the top pulldown menu on the lefthand side.
