Question

ok so i put the usb cord in and it doesnt say anything about adding files or nothing and so what do i do?

Answer 1

The key is that you need a USB cable: I bought one as part of a connectivity kit for about $15 - but even Radio Shack would have the specific cable you'd need as it's a standard "5 pin mini-B connector" USB cable (take your PSP in with you, though, so the salesperson can see the connector, which is on the top edge of the unit).

Once you have the cable, connect the cable to the PSP unit, connect the other end of the cable into your Macintosh (I hook mine up to an open USB port on my keyboard, actually, which works fine), then turn on the PSP.

Now, and here's the most important step that people hiccup on, go to the PSP and press the HOME button (tiny half-moon on the lower left corner of the screen). Use your Left or Right arrow buttons to move along the options shown here and get to the Settings option. On the image shown below, Settings is the little toolbox:

Once you're on the settings option, use the Up or Down button to find "USB Connection" (it's between "Network Update" and "Video Settings"). Select it with the X button (the circular button on the right of the screen with the "O" inside it).

Now on the PSP you'll just see "USB Mode", not too exciting, but on your Macintosh, you'll now see a new device appear on the desktop called Untitled. That's your PSP!

Double click on it and you'll see two files called "MEMSTICK.IND" and "MSTK_PRO.IND" (they're your Memory Stick Duo) and two folders, "MP_ROOT" and "PSP". Double click on the PSP folder and you'll see:

Cool, eh? To add pictures, finally, or any images, simply drag and drop your JPEG format graphics (those are files with filename suffixes of "JPG" or "JPEG", typically) into the PHOTO folder. As many as your Memory Stick Duo has space for.

When you're done, eject the PSP from your Mac system by right-clicking on the "Untitled" device on your desktop and choosing Eject "Untitled".

Go to the PSP itself now and again use the circle button to quit USB Mode, then the Right arrow to move from Settings to Photo. You'll have a single entry there called "Memory Stick" (which will also tell you how much space is still free, if any).

If you have usb cable, that's great. Before you connect it, just make sure your psp is on. Plug that usb from your psp to your psp. Then on your psp main screen, click on Settings then scroll down to USB connection. Your psp should now connect to your pc. The psp folder should load on your My Computer.  

To put pics into your psp, you have to create PHOTO folder into psp folder. Just make sure it's PHOTO in capital letters. Now you can just drag and drop the pics from your pc to your psp into that PHOTO folder ( The folder name is only PHOTO, not include folder )

You can view files of the following types on the PSP™ system.

JPEG (DCF 2.0 / Exif 2.21 compliant)

TIFF

GIF

PNG

BMP

To put music into your psp, you have create MUSIC folder in that psp folder. Just make sure it's MUSIC in capital letters. Now you can do the same thing like the pics.

You can play files of the following types on the PSP™ system.

Memory Stick™ Audio Format

- ATRAC3™

- ATRAC3plus™

- MP3

MP3 (MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer3)

MP4 (MPEG-4 AAC)

WAVE (Linear PCM)

WMA

If you want to put video, just follow the same steps. But just make sure you creat VIDEO folder. For more info, go to this psp user manual site : http://manuals.playstation.net/document/...
