USB to PC was not available in the earlier ROMs. You need to upgrade. By the way what functionality are you missing because of the absence of this icon?

Please see if the usb connection is enabled in your active sync. Please uninstall AS and download and install the latest version of AS (AS 4.5). Also try to connect on another PC. The USB to PC icon you have mentioned has only one option in it to enable / disable enhanced features. Mine is in the disabled mode yet everything works fine. So the problem appears to be elsewhere. Also change the cable and see. In my friend's PC the device would not connect through the frount mounted USB ports of the PC but worked perfectly with one of the rear ports. Keep experimenting you will surely succeed.

Make sure you are using an original cable, not a replacement as some cables do not work as they do not have all the pins wired.
If the computer is recognising it as an "unknown device", that may be more of a problem. I agree that you should download the most recent version of AS(4.5) and let us know how you get on.

Anyone get it to sync with their mac

I downloaded the android mac tool and it still doesn't read my tab 10.1. It reads and connects my xoom but not the galaxy tab.

Not compatible with Mac (yet? ever?). I've actually had to go dig an old XP HDD out of storage so that I can adb and transfer files back and forth.

that sux balzzz

No luck for me either...
Doesn't work for me either. After doing the 3.1 update for my LE Tab tonight I tried the Android File Transfer program with "usb debugging" both enabled and disabled but with no luck either way. I even tried re-downloading the Android File Transfer app from Google but it's the same version that's been up there since April.
Any Mac folks have a workaround besides using the painfully slow ddms debugger interface or doing network-based transfers (like smb or ftp)?

I think you need to use this. I haven't tried it yet though.

we did doesnt work thanks

Hasn't worked for me either. I'm assuming that Android should the update to the app ready by next week for the Tab's wide release but that's wishful thinking. What about the Xoom and Transformer owners who also got the 3.1 update.:-\

Wait is this for real... A friend of mine and I just got ousr at the NY event, but a friend has to ship them to us. Will it not work with Macs? My friend has a Mac book... This would be terrible news...

At the moment, no it does not sync with Macs. Th Android File Transfer app hasn't been updated yet with the proper "drivers" to sync with Mac, but it should get updated soon. This isn't a "forever" type deal

I picked mine up yesterday, no syncing. Kies doesn't even recognize the device yet. Works with windows 7 though.
Interestingly, Adobe Lightroom is able to find the tab on my macbook.

I would just keep checking here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/GT-P7510MAVXAB
They had a Mac version that I downloaded before they took it down and it works. Not sure exactly why they took it down. Sorry I didn't save the dmg file.

i'm on the same boat, my xoom was working fine with SL, but my SGT doesn't work

I have been using FTP (SwiFTP on the marketplace) to transfer files until samsung or google get this fixed. I find this to be a ridiculous problem to be having.

Also, I tried Samsung Kies BETA for Mac and no dice.

@NoLeftTurns You're welcome! Glad your enjoying it! Kies for Mac will be here soon, we'll keep you posted! =) ^Sabrina

I'd prefer Kies-less entry honestly. (sorry for the pun...i had too ) I've been using ES File Explorer to connect to my NAS device and grabbing files from there. Far from ideal, but it could be worst

I just downloaded the latest version of kies and it seems to be working fine on my 2011 macbook pro... anyone know why the GT won't charge when it is plugged in, tho? i just have a red X over the battery...

I think i read somewhere what the SGT cant charge it with the usb cable connected to a computer port, my SGT indicate the same X with my MBP.
The kies app with the least samsung drivers works fine, but is bad i cant mount the sdcard like a hd storage.

Because the Tab requires more power than your USB port can provide.

Am I Missing Something? WTF? How Do I Connect to a Computer?

Love the device. Great build, feels nice - just like everyone else says.
Why would anyone release a device that can't connect to a computer to transfer files? Am I missing something? I've tried connecting on Mac and Windows and searched high and low for drivers, tips, tricks, etc. Don't tell me Dropbox or some other back door solution. The whole reason I bought Android (I already have 2 ipads) is to eliminate itunes. Why would I want to have to use a software solution to transfer files - I would just stay with itunes if that were the case. I have an EVO 4G that mounts as a hard drive and when I load files the app recognizes (photo, music, video) and plays it. WTF!!!!!!
Can someone help? NO I AM NOT INTERESTED IN SOME STUPID WORKAROUND spending 30 hours at the risk of bricking and voiding warranty ending up with some laggy piece of crap custom ROM just to do ONE SIMPLE TASK - DRAG AND DROP! No offense, I respect what you hard cores do. I don't have time. I need $500 devices to work as expected.
Oh yeah, stupid POS wouldn't play an AVI file either. No idea why. Don't really care. It took 2 hours to transfer a file via Dropbox. Not doing that again.
Suggestions welcome. My Samsung Tab 10.1 is currently for sale on ebay. Maybe I'll take it down if some kind soul out there can help me figure this out.

Had the same issue. You just need the correct drivers for your PC. Hope that helps.

Try installing this on your mac - Android File Transfer
For some reason, Honeycomb devices don't mount as regular mass storage device, but rather under the Microsoft MTP protocol (verified when my friend with a mac told me I needed to install the Anrdoid File Transfer when I connected his Xoom to my Win7 laptop. I told him he's crazy, but he didn't know since he never connected his Xoom to a PC running Windows).
Hopefully it's fixed for the retail 10.1 tabs.

If you disable "USB debugging," your PC should recognize it as external storage.

I seem to have having the same problem (10.1).
I installed the samsung mobile drivers, and disable usb debugging.
Now when i plug in my tablet it says connected to samsung kies. On windows i get the pop-up for a usb storage connection, but I cant actually view the files and this doesn't show up in my computer.
Do i have to install samsung kies? I only installed the mobile drivers 'Samsung_USB_Driver_P4_Including_Escape'
Any help?

I installed both. My windows 7 identifies it with a mobile phone icon, but under it the sdcard is identified as a tablet(default name). When i connect it to my pc my GT displays "connected / press home key to quit Samsung kie" so I guess kids is requisite.

Thanks for the help. Installed Android File Transfer but still no luck with debugging on or off. It just says "No Android Device Found"
Maybe I have a bad unit or something?
Are there any Mac users out there that have been able to connect? I also have a Vista PC that I will start toying around with.

Use file manager app and do it wirelessly via wifi
It is easy and you dont need a pc ...

I've been having the same problem. It seems that the Android File Transfer program hasn't been updated since the change to 3.1. I'm pretty confident that it'll be fixed shortly. However this is an Android issue not a Samsung issue- . The Xooms and Transformers are having the same problem.

I'm leaning towards that it's a Samsung issue as my friend has both a Xoom and Transformer on 3.1 and Android File Transfer is working fine for them.

I've the 10.1v and I just plugged the usb cable and I saw the device as an external storage. Probably the problem is limited to the I/O devices.
For Divx try downloading "MoboPlayer". I thnink that the default avi player can play only h.264 files

Uhh from when i got my tab i had this problem as well all i did was go into control panel uninstall the drivers installed from the first time of plugging it in .. Then i went onto the tab disabled debugging and connected again let it install its drivers and i was set to go just make sure u have samsung kies installed onto your computer so it can find drivers and once the drivers were installed i went into my computer and it was there named something like pt-901 something lol hopefully this helps..

Thanks for this. Works great. Getting better...
I still don't know how any OEMs are going to gain traction against Apple among the masses who don't have the patience to figure this stuff out. Luckily I have some time on my hands this weekend!
Dropbox is taking about 30 minutes to transfer a 700MB file from my laptop to my box and then DL to the Tab's memory. Not a great solution. Need to figure out this USB file transfer thing.

What codec was used for your AVI file? Xvid? If so, then that's whack of Samsung to list Xvid and AVI as native support under their specifications.

Do you need to install the Samsung Kies onto every computer you want to transfer files via USB with?
Other Android devices I haven't had to install any third party software for this.

Same here. Every other Android device I've had is drag and drop on both Mac and PC which is the main draw for me. EVO, Archos, etc, etc...
I also thought that Samsung claimed native playback for Xvid AVI files...??? Apparently not.

Finally works!!! While I was messing around with drivers for PC I discovered that Samsung posted and updated (June 9th) version of Kies which allows easy files transfer on Mac. Problem solved.
Now I just need to figure out how to charge over USB so I don't have to lug this brick of an AC adapter around and I'm converted!

My transformer had no problem after the 3.1 update. Just kept on working. Hopefully my Sammy will work as well.

The above is where I was able to DL both PC drivers and Kies for Mac that WORKS! One thing to note - make sure that you are on the Samsung US site. Originally I was on Samsung.com/ca domain and none of the files would work. When I switched to the US site at Samsung.com (scroll to the bottom to change location) the files worked.

Galaxy 10.1 not recognized by Windows XP

I just plugged my Galaxy 10.1 into my Window XP computer, and I initially got a message that new hardware is found, but the hardware wizard launches and says it can't find the appropriate drivers. When I go into My Computer, there is no drive icon for my tab (yes, I have the USB cable plugged in).
Can anybody tell me what to do so I can transfer some videos to my tab?
Thanks.

Install Samsung kies and try again,

Thanks. I installed Kies, and my tablet was recognized, although there is still no drive letter or icon in My Computer. I transferred a video into Kies, and I was able to play it in Kies, but for some reason I can't transfer the video to my Galaxy tab. This is very frustrating.

I'm now getting a message to "Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported by Kies."
I must be dumb.

So, the Samsung galaxy 10.1 currently doesn't function correcty as mass storage device when connected to win xp, and Samsung acknowledges this when I supoke with their tech support. It does work properly when connected to Win 7 (and Vista according to Samsung tech support).
see original thread regarding this @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178458

It does not function as a USB Mass Storage class device EVER under ANY operating system. (If it supported USB Mass Storage, it wouldn't need drivers and it would work without any effort on XP. That is the definition of the USB Mass Storage class.)
It is an MTP device - unfortunately only Vista/7 support MTP.
There is a workaround - Droid Explorer at http://de.codeplex.com/ provides a nice user interface layered over ADB (USB Debugging mode). ADB is much more widely supported than MTP.

Wow, I thought I was going crazy. Thanks for the info! Luckily, I have Win 7 on my laptop.

I loaded the second file (USB) drivers from samsung support downloads for the 10.1,
then made sure the power is on on the tablet when connecting, it shows up as a drive on my WinXP machine.

OK, so I plugged my Samsung into my Windows 7 laptop, and it tells me it won't work because I don't have the drivers. But I don't know where to find them. Can somebody help me out here? Thanks.

Update:
I am totally disgusted. I did a Windows update on my laptop while my Samsung 10.1 was plugged in, and was able to install some Samsung Composite USB drivers. But Windows will still not recognize my tablet. I know there's a solution to this, I just need somebody to point me in the right direction.

After spending much of the day researching this problem on many forums, the solution turned out to be a simple one. In fact, I can't believe nobody chimed in with the answer.
I'm going to post the fix here now for the benefit of others who might have this file-transfer problem. If your (Windows 7, Vista) computer won't recognize your Galaxy Tab, on the tab go into your Settings, Applications, Development, and uncheck USB debugging. It is as simple as that. Now when you plug in your tablet, your computer will immediately recognize it. Open up My Computer on your computer, and double-click on the tablet icon (mine is actually a phone icon). Drag and drop files into the window and wait for them to transfer (note: video files take a long time).
Have fun.

most likely no; monitors that can actually use USB are programmed to send a signal over USB. The Nexus 10 (Android itself rather) can't do this that I'm aware of.
I've tried iDisplay in the past over USB and it would just crash the display server on my computer, not sure why.
