I've had my k750 for a few days now and am loving the gorgeous thing... Anyway today I connected it to my ibook at work here to see if I could transfer over some mp3's through the usb cable. After the transfer was successful, I was browsing in file manager>sounds and see these 2 weird icons above my usual regular sound files. It's a blue diamond with the memory stick icon on the right of it (no text). I tried deleting these but nothing ever happens after I press yes. When I go to information it says file type: DS_store ???! any ideas? I am anal I know but why the icons? and how can I get rid of them? |

i *think* that those are files that the k750 does not recognise! i tried transferring something recently and it didn't recognise the file and put a blue diamond thing next to the filename! |

Indeed the "blue diamond" seems to be the default icon for unknown file types.. i got it too when i sent some message alert from a Nokia 9500. However it was no problem simply deleting the files.

i deleted mine somehow using the right-key and clicking "delete". if i couldn't that, i must have gone into my phone through the usb cable and deleted the file from there! |

see that's the weird thing there is no file or name attached to these DS_store (file type) things... anyway I'll probably end up going home and using the usb cable through my pc laptop and delete them if at all possible? if not maybe a master reset? |

You're using a Mac right? DS_store etc crap is stuff the Mac associates with files stored on it, it's usually hidden from view but can be seen when viewed on a non Mac or if you enable show hidden files.
You need a program that transfer the files "cleanly" there are a few of those around, search this forum or via google for it.

ah, thanks riffola! hopefully I'll be to clean these up when I get home to my windows based OS.
edit: alright guys I came home and was able to delete all the DS_store files that had woven themselves all through the phone.... lesson learned, never connect to a mac
