Try to connect your phone to:

1. Turn Phone off
2. Connect it to computer
3. Turn Phon ON.

THANK YOU! An hour of my life has been wasting looking at the slick and glossy but useless manual that came with this thing trying to figure it out. The guy at Tmobile insisted all I had to do was follow the directions in said maga-ual (like a magalog but different, you know)

One other possibility is the USB cable you are using. If you're not using the original cable that came with the phone, with the proprietary plug design, then it will not transfer data. A standard mini USB plug fits around _outside_ the socket, allowing a contact to charge the phone but not to transfer data.

Use the original cable and it should work. It fixed the problem for me.

Best of luck.
