Well phone was working spot on before but now when i plug my phone into my computer the external sd storage does not come up so i can't move things direct to the external sd card from my computer. but the phone knows it there cause its in "my files" application and its where my music is stored and it plays the music fine. but the external sd card doesn't come up as a directory in kies or normal windows file organiser.. its really strange. any ideas apart from a flash? it was working but then i installed that stop media scanner thing (deleted it now after restarting the media scanning) but since then this has happened. I mean its now the end of the world since the phone sees it and can use it and i can transfer from my phone to my sd card but its just weird that it no longer comes up when connected to pc.
Cheers if you read that and if you can help that would be awesome!
make sure USB Debuging is enabled
then after connect to PC or MAC

Sorry if this has been posted before, i did have a quick look around and found nothing!
Anyways, i just got my HTC Wildfire! Happy with it, but so far i have a slight problem! When i connect my phone to PC, the Pc recognizes it as "portable hard drive" which has been similar to most other HTC phones i have had in the past!
Now when i try to open the "Removable Disk D" as my pc named it, the PC belives it's a Disc Drive for some strange reason. Also i have right clicked and opend the folder as a portable device but when i try to transfer my music into this window it tells me "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" which it hasn't!!
Very confusing as i've never had or heard of this problem in the past!
Can anyone offer some advice?!
Try formatting your SD card in the Settings >> Sd Storage menu.
remove the sd card and try placing it into your computer. See if reads it. You may need an sd card adapter. If this works then try it from your phone again, try switching to charge only mode then to mount/removable drive. Also try a different usb port on your computer, see if that helps, good luck...

Hello, i had the same problem. go to settings-applications-development-then tick usb debugging and your sorted also make sure you select allow third party apps.
This is really getting annoying. Any MP3/Vide files which I transfer through USB Mass Storage are not detected when it goes "Scanning for Media". It works through Kies and Webharing Wifi Transfer app...until I reboot the phone, then its detected in the music player anymore.
If I use the file browser or astro i can play it through them, but that's not really convenient is it.
Everything works fine if I transfer it through an external SD card. I only have a 2gb one though so it really doesn't cut it.

Anyone else using winamp, and has an issue where if you connect your phone via USB (and hence unmount your storage/sd card), afterwards, it keeps crashing? Even after your storage has been remounted and can be accessed by any other app.
Basically, if I want to transfer files to my phone, I have to reboot afterwards. Not a major annoyance but definitely an annoyance.
Its not winamp as it didn't do this on my N1 or my sgtab, just my atrix
Hello
Ive got the same bug, with winamp after connecting the Atrix to PC.
I believe its something to do with the winamp that was updated in the last days, since all the other apps that can access the SD, were able to get to the SD without problems, only winamp not. notice that the widget shows that there is no SD card detection....
Mine too was restored successfully after reboot...
So I've been trying to transfer music from both iTunes (using Wondershare and iExplorer) and regular drag and drop in Windows Explorer. I'm not sure as to why this keeps happening so I'm reaching out to y'all.
My phone won't recognize a lot of the music that's transferred both internally to the phone's storage or externally to the memory card. Then sometimes when I do transfer, some files work, some files don't. I've tried reformatting the SD card, but I'm not so sure if that's the only issue. I never had a problem transferring music with the Galaxy S3 (phone connected via USB, and then drag and drop to external SD card). Can anyone please help!
Hello everyone. I have a Nook Color that I am running CM7 on. It's working great (compared to how slow it was when I had CM10 on it), can run most apps and games just fine. However, I have a number of movies and TV shows I would like to be able to watch (the SD card I bought to use for all this is a 32GB card, bought specifically to have space for apps and videos). However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to actually get the video files onto the tablet. Here's what I've done so far and what I've read about:
1. Started with my tablet turned off, plugged it into the computer, and turned it back on. At first, I was getting the device installing window popping up on my computer, but quickly disappearing and nothing connecting. Eventually I got a notification saying I needed to restart my computer to finish installing, so I did that. Next time I plugged my tablet in, the device installation screen stayed up until the bar was complete (a couple minutes). Throughout this process, I manually went to the notifications list on my tablet and continuously turned on the USB storage option any time I reconnected. Still nothing. It does charge however.
2. I've also tried two different USB connector cords, all three of my USB ports, and restarting my computer multiple times.
3. I also tried to see if I could go the Bluetooth route, but that didn't really go too far. Got the two things paired and they claimed they were connected, but it didn't work out at all.
Any other options, or any thoughts on things I can try? Thanks for any help.
Well, first the Nook Color has no Bluetooth antenna so the range is inches, not feet.
Second, you need to configure the device properly. Go to settings and turn off USB debugging. Can't remember exactly where that is on CM7. Second, you need to set up USB Mass Storage. If I remember right go to storage and hit the advanced button under the menu. Then when connected do the notification turn on thing.
As a last resort take the sd out and insert it in the PC to transfer the files.

I thought about just putting the files onto the SD card (I have no issue with that), but I wasn't sure where to put them. Do you know what directory it has to be in?
To clarify, the SD card I want to put the videos on is the SD card that SM7 is installed on. I don't know if that changes anything, but when I put the SD card into my laptop, I just get a bunch of unusable files. Can I not transfer files that way (direct from PC to SD)?
Otherwise I found apps that would allow me to transfer over wifi, but I don't know what directory to put them into.

Since you have CM installed to SD that copy on to sd inserted in PC will not work. You cannot see the right partition with windows.
And wifi transfer works great for me. Just put them anywhere and once on the nook you can use the file manager to move them where you want.
