Ok, heres my next question,
Does anyone know of an app that I can browes the files on a pc thru my droid when it is connected to said pc via usb.
I know of just about all the apps that will do it via the network, but in this case I'm trying to do it via usb.

Browse the pc's files from the phone over USB? Maybe with a 3rd-party app that had a client on the pc.
When the pc browses the phone's files, it mounts the sdcard or emmc as a volume. You can't reverse the process except by using network (cifs, etc.)
Was not sure if it is even possible, but u have to admit it would be very useful

If you are plugged into the PC, why wouldn't you just use the PC to browse files? It'd be easier to use than a phone browser.

I know that I can do that, that's not the point, I'm trying to pull files from a pc that has no video card.

...and no network connection?
no video card, and was never on my network, it has NIC card but dose not sure up on network, so I can imagine its not setup for it, I have already pulled the files I needed, but I do think that it would be a cool thing to be able to do.

I use phone mypc. You can download it from the market and use it on three pc's. Also you can move the app to your sd card to use on other phones.

Do you mean using allshare to stream to your xbox?
Plug USB cable into Xbox. Plug other end into Fascinate... Profit?

I'm no expert but I don't think that's possible. When you plug your phone into your xbox, does it show "usb connected" in notifications?

Yes

Select Mass Storage? I could see a possibility that it could read the fat32 partition of the momory card.

But it's not a good idea to do. If you can even get it to work, and that's a big if, it will wipe everything on your SD card when you set it up.

i do allshare, but you need another computer in the mix.
If you turn on a computer on your network and launch windows media center, if your 36o is on, they will hook up. When all-share is on, windows media center will pick it up.
I do it on ps3 all the time to play movies. Connect usb then in xbox home screen select view all files. Something like that

Is it dropbox or something like it? Wondering because I am trying to get Android 3.0 music player to sync all my music and it is not working with dropbox (meaning I don't know how to do it).

The "cloud" is the storage of any type of media on an outside storage service that is avail to any computer / phone / internet ready device at any time.
Dropbox is a great example. You can access your media on different devices, change the files, and the changes show on your other devices.
Think of it as wireless sync for files not stored on your phone that you can access anytime.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.
Has anyone tried to sync the Android 3.0 Music Player to Dropbox?

I sync all my pics music and documents to drop box... but I use the dropbox app.
For streaming my own content I use orb to stream from my computer to my phone.

Is that the app that is for $9.99, if it is does it force close like the free version?
Edit: okay I think I found it is it called Androrb?

I'm sad I have an old Mac laptop from like 2005 and I can't download the computer program.

Just a few days after posting this Amazon came out with their own cloud system, its pretty cool. I get 5gb of free storage and my songs from my computer are finally showing up on my phone through the Amazon Cloud Player. I'm happy now.

Have you done any modifications in tab as custom firmware or so?
Did you manage to connect the tab with the same pc previously ?

Buddy it happens when you don't plug in your tab at once.
To resolve problem restart the tab and put the usb into the port at once.
Try to connect it in another PC's

A simple fix that could work. Look in the device manager under USB and see if any "unknown device" shows up. If so, uninstall it, ok out and shutdown the PC. Unplug the PC from the power for a minute and then start back up. Try connecting it to the PC again. Even after you shutdown, the PC keeps a trickle going to the ports.
Buy a new lead , very cheap on place like Amazon. See If that works since Its not working on 2 PCs. Its either the lead or your Tablet
If its not the lead reflash your ROM.If that wont work you have a dodgy USB connector and it needs repairing.
I tried with another pc,still not detected.
p/s: lead?
