Helping out a friend with his Treo 650. I know nothing about smartphones. What's the easiest way to load a .mp3 clip onto the 650 as a ringtone? Can it be emailed? How? My friend has a cable for his computer. TIA!

You cannot use MP3 as ringtone on a stock Treo 650. You need a program to do it. I use RingoPro and it works fine. I use a SD card reader and load MP3 directly to my SD card from my Computer. I have no luck loading MP3 using the PalmDesktop. May be someone has other ways of loading MP3's.

Get the app called CardExport 2 to read your SD card in your Treo or get a SD card reader.

You are Welcome. I am new to Treo but I have a tendency of messing with software on my PC's, Handhelds, Phones and ........

Some how I also ended up crashing them a few times. I have lost many nights of sleep trying to restore my gadgets.

In fact, I stayed up all night last night trying to get my laptop going again.
I downloaded a program and edited my widow registery. The laptop would not even boot in Safe Mode. I ended up reloading Window and all it updates. I am still trying to sort my laptop out.

NOTE TO SELF: Preform Regedit the old way, one at a time. Do not use a program and edit the registery without checking what was edited out. Back Up is useless if Computer would not boot.

LOL!! ! It is 6:50 pm and I am still surving the net. I did not even get a wink last night.

Your problem is that fact that you use a PC.

Get a mac and all your problems will be solved.
