Wow, this is a pretty loaded question...

Blackberrys come with an installation CD on there you will find Blackberry Desktop Manager. There is an icon that says Media Manager.

In the Bottom window of that program you will navigate to the folder on your blackberry that you want to put it in.

In the top window, navigate to the folder your music is in and then just drag and drop.

It is much easier if you have a memory card because then you can just drag and drop the songs from your computer to your memory card. Either by using a card reader or sometimes the memory card will plug directly into your computer or printer.

As for the pictures, you need to tell your blackberry to store you pictures on the memory card otherwise you will find yourself in a HEAP of problem. If you save you pics directly to your phone you will find that the phone will begin to act sliggish and it will freeze, delete your call history, text messages and you find you have to take out the battery a lot. When you open your camera go to the options and change the folder that your pictures are saved in. With a 1gb you should be able to save AT LEAST 200 pics. You can also try taking you memory card out, reinsert it and then start up your camera, the blackberry should say somthing like, "media card inserted do you want to save all of your pictures to the media card", then select yes. If it doesn't you have to do it the way i described above. Make sure you move the pics that you have stored on you phone to your memory card to save yourself a lot of problem later on. Either move them on the blackberry by selecting the menu key (the key with all the dots) or use the media manager in the same way I described above.

After you get it onto you phone or memory card then you just have to assign it as your ring tone.
