How to Copy Video Files to Galaxy Note 5

A common way people apply to transfer files between mobile phone and PC/Mac is to make use of a USB cable. The biggest advantage is that it will not be affected by internet condition. But for different computer operating systems, the situations may differ as well.

1. For Windows:

1. Connect the phone to the PC.

Use the USB cable that comes with the phone. If you have trouble, ensure that your phone is connected as a media player or uses something called MTP. Over on the PC, the AutoPlay dialog box appears in Windows, prompting you to choose how best to mount the phone into the Windows storage system.

2. On the PC, choose Windows Media Player from the AutoPlay dialog box. The option may be labeled Sync Digital Media Files to This Device. If the AutoPlay dialog box doesn't appear, start the Windows Media Player program.

3. On the PC, ensure that the Sync list appears. Click the Sync tab or the Sync toolbar button to view the Sync list. Your phone should appear atop the list.

If you have a MicroSD card installed in your Galaxy Note, you find two sync locations. Choose Card to save music to the MicroSD card; choose Phone to use internal storage. Either location is fine, but external storage (MicroSD or card) most likely has more room.

4. Drag to the Sync area the music you want to transfer to your phone.

You see a list of songs that appear in the Sync list. To add more, drag an album or individual song into the Sync list. Dragging an album sets up all its songs for transfer.

5. Click the Start Sync button to transfer the music from the PC to your Galaxy Note. The Start Sync button may be located atop the list, or it might be found on the bottom, depending on the version of Windows Media Player.

6. Close the Windows Media Player when the transfer is complete.

Or keep it open — whatever.

7. Unplug the phone from the USB cable.

You can unplug the USB cable from the computer as well.

• You cannot use iTunes to synchronize music with your Galaxy Note.
• Another option for copying music is to use the Samsung Kies program.
• The phone can store only so much music! Don't be overzealous when copying over your tunes. In Windows Media Player, a capacity-thermometer thing shows you how much storage space is used and how much is available on your phone. Pay heed to the indicator!

2. For Mac:

Nevertheless, to transfer data to Mac is a bit challenging for most people, because your Mac may not recognize your Android phone upon connecting your mobile with a USB cable. In this case, please follow the guide below.

1. Download Android File Transfer on your Mac.

2. After installing Android File Transfer, connect your Galaxy Note 5 to your Mac via the USB cable. Wait for the phone to get connected and drivers to be installed.

3. Open up Android File System app. It should recognize your Galaxy Note 5 and then will automatically open up with your internal phone memory directories.

Tip: If you get a "No Device Found" message, be sure your Galaxy Note 5 is in Media device (MTP) transfer mode. You can do this by swiping down to open the notification tray and then tapping on the Connected As… message.

4. You can drag and drop files and media (video, music and photos) into the window (Galaxy Note 5). Additionally, you can create new folders and delete files. During this time, you can't access the SD card from your Galaxy Note 5 or share your Android phone's data connection with your computer via USB.

5. When the videos are copied to Galaxy Note 5, you can disconnect your Galaxy phone from Mac.

In this way, making DVD movies compatible with Galaxy Note 5 is not a big deal! Have fun and make use of your Galaxy Note 5 without hesitation!
