I'm trying to take pics from my Thunderbolt and put them on my computer and I can't figure it out. Can someone help me?

How do I take pics on Thunderbolt and put them on my computer?

Attach your Thunderbolt to your computer via USB and copy the photos.

Or you can use any of a number of apps to transfer them via wireless (here are just a few possibilities: AirDroid (1.0.4 beta): http://market.android.com/details?id=com.sand.airdroid
WiFi File Explorer PRO (1.7.0): http://market.android.com/details?id=com.dooblou.WiFiFileExplorerPRO). There's a free version of the latter one as well if you want to try it out.

Or for one or two pictures, e-mail them to yourself and pull the e-mail up on the computer and save to the computer.

When you plug your phone into your computer it should ask you for a couple different modes. Choose "Disk Mode" and then it should work like any other storage device you hook up to a computer and you should be able to find your pictures.

One very nice way to do this to is by using Dropbox.

If you don't have a dropbox account, you can sign up for one here:

(shameless plug, using this link also gets me additional free storage)

Once you have an account, just install the Dropbox app, and every pic you take can be auto uploaded to your DB account!

To make things EVEN easier, you can install the DB desktop software on your computer, so that the pics you take will literally be sitting there in the dropbox folder on your computer after you take them...it works very well.

Way to go Pete, beat me to it! I would have plugged Dropbox shamelessly too! Only half way to 8!

I haven't tried Drpobox but I do use Sugarsync which does the same thing and works really well.

Plus Sugarsync gives you more storage for free.

Just take the picture, and poof, the picture is on my PC. No wires, no searching.

And you can set it to transfer only when on WiFi or on charge. That will save you data.

I'm surprised so many people still suggest using wires on a device that has so many radios in it.

I havent used a wire to connect to my computer since i used revolutionary to root the phone! It is quicker though if you're in a hurry and have a lot of big files to move.
