Okay so I have a windows xp and I've been trying to plug my Sidekick3 usb into my computer for months to upload themes/music/ect... but every time I plug it in nothing ever pops up on my computer. My sidekicks screen says USB and everything and I have no idea why it isn't working. Once in awhile something will pop up and tell me to install the mas

just go to my computer and find the removable device

I tried that and it doesn't work because removable device doesn't show up :/

try plugging it into a different usb slot on the computer.

try downloading all the updates for windows, just because you have xp doesn't mean anything.

I tried plugging it into a different slow and that did nothing.
I guess I'll attempt to download all the updates. Thanks.

go to device manager under settings -> system and then plug in your sk
if a new device pops up, uninstall it. You might find it under usb or unknown devices. It might have a yellow exclamation point next to it.
Once you have done this, restart, login and then plug it in; preferably to a rear usb port. Give xp time to do its thing, do not remove prematurely. Then look for it under my computer -> removable

There is also the option of wiping the card with a mini-sd reader to ensure there are no issues with the card itself.

i don't have a PC, so i always have to use other people's computer's to put things on my memory card. using the cord doesn't work on ANY computer i've ever tried, but i have a memory card reader for my digital cameras and it's got a mini sd slot, so i just use that instead. i got it supercheap at best buy for like $5. might be worth the investment if you've got a digital camera. :)

also, going along with a couple of the other suggestions you've gotten... your computer might take a while to recognize that something new is there... have you tried just leaving it plugged in and waiting to see if it loads?

Yeah I have left it plugged in for over 2 hours and it does nothing.
I think I'll buy one of the memory card readers.
