I just got the tritan and I formated the sd card and it shows that there are files on the sd card.
I don't know how I can access the photos that I have downloaded to the sd card. Please help

Do you have a USB Cable? Do you have the LG Drivers loaded on your PC?

Download them from here: http://www.lgcommunity.com/file_library.aspx

The easiest way to transfer photos from your MicroSD card to your PC is to use the phones "Mass Storage Mode" Just hook the Phone to your PC and on the phone go to settings>>Phone Settings>> USB Connection Mode>> and set it to Mass Storage. Now the MicroSD card inside the phone will show up as another drive letter and you can copy the files off that way.

If you don't have a USB cable you can use a "Card Reader" which is a small device that attaches to your PC and you can plug your MicroSD card in to it and copy files to and from the card.

Let me know how I can help!

Sorry about the misunderstanding... Can you see the pictures now that are on the card? If not make sure they are in the correct folder. They should be in the "My_Images" Folder and that they are ".jpg" Files

From the Main Menu, select Multimedia>> Then "My Stuff folder">> Next "images">> and Finally "My Images." while displaying the photos, from the Menu Icon in the Upper Right side of the Screen select "Move" it will now display all of your photos where you can tap on the ones you want to move to your phone and a small Check Mark will appear on the photo meaning that it is selected... When you have selected the photos you want to move to your phone select "Done" and it will move the pictures.

It doesn't sound like the photos are on the card if only 160KB is being used. Do you have a "Card Reader" for your PC? It would be helpful if we could look at the card on your PC... If they are there but in the wrong folder you could also use the PC to Move them.
