Dell Devices

Dell devices are fully supported in Dell Mobile Sync. For each Dell device, default folders for
music, photos and videos are displayed below the main [Device name] entry.
Dell Mobile Sync automatically detects the best settings and optimizes your content. Music is
transcoded into MP3 (except for AAC or M4P files); videos are transcoded into H.264/AVC
format. The resolution is adapted according to the device profile. Preview and rotating of
photos as well as video and music playback are possible directly on the device.
The main device browsing screen remains split: The upper area shows the name and
information about free and total capacity of your device. In addition, the device memory
occupied by the different media types is illustrated on a colored capacity bar.
The Device Options buttons in the upper right opens the Options window in the Devices
category. Here you can choose the folder name imported files will be saved in. A special
folder will be a created by Dell Mobile Sync with every import.
The Backup / Restore button in the upper right opens the Backup / Restore window. You
can start the backup and restore processes from here. A Backup wizard guides you step-by-
step to save your important phone data. A Restore wizard guides you to recover your saved
data at a later time.
You can start the synchronization from the Sync area in the middle of the device browsing
screen via one click on the Sync button. You can also open the Sync Options window from
here. In the Sync Options window you can select the contents you want to synchronize. In
general, when the application starts the synchronization process, all media content from your
device will be copied to the import setting folder. The status of a running transferring and
transcoding process is visible in a small display in the lower left.
In the lower area of the device browsing screen, you can set up the import options to copy
media files from the connected device to your computer. The Import area is available for any
connected device.
