Getting contacts and other content into
HTC Desire 500
Aside from the HTC Transfer Tool, there are other ways you can add contacts and
other content to HTC Desire 500.
Sync with your
computer
Use HTC Sync Manager to sync contacts, documents, playlists,
and more between HTC Desire 500 and your computer running a
Windows
®
or Mac OS
®
operating system.
You can also use it to transfer contacts, messages, and other
content from an iPhone to your computer, and then to your
HTC Desire 500.
Gmail

Google
®
contacts are imported to HTC Desire 500 after you sign
in to your Google Account. You can also create more Google
contacts right from HTC Desire 500.
Social network
accounts
Log in to your favorite social networks to sync contact
information from them.
Microsoft
®
Exchange
ActiveSync
®
HTC Desire 500 syncs your work contacts from the Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync Server in your workplace.
Phone contacts You can create contacts locally on HTC Desire 500, if you don't
prefer to store them on your online accounts.
SIM card Copy all your SIM contacts to HTC Desire 500.
Transferring photos, videos, and music
between your phone and computer
There are two ways you can transfer your media from or to your computer.
§ Connect HTC Desire 500 to your computer. Your computer will recognize it just
like any removable USB drive, and you can copy your media between them.
§ Download and use the HTC Sync Manager software on your computer. You can
set it up to automatically get music, photos, and videos off HTC Desire 500 to
your computer. You can also sync playlists from your computer to the phone.
If you have an iPhone, you can even connect it and transfer the camera roll
(photos and videos) to your computer. Then reconnect HTC Desire 500 and
copy them over.
Tired of keeping copies of your media in several places? Use online storage services
to put your media in one place so you can manage them anywhere — on your
computer, HTC Desire 500, and other mobile devices.
Check first what online storage accounts are available on HTC Desire 500 and sign in
to the one you want to use. To sign in to an account, slide the Notifications panel
open, and then tap
> Accounts & sync > . Use the Gallery app to access media
in your online storage.
