Further confusion!!!

OK ... at least I tried!  Did I say I don't do cables?  Seems I've not transferred photo's to this laptop before so I could get no further than plugging said cable into mobile and getting an error message.  Even call to hubby at work didn't help.  Will just have to wait until he gets home tonight to try again ... bloomin' technology ... give me a sheet of paper and some double sided tape any day please!
