What OS on the laptop?
Are you using the OEM battery USB cable?
I'm running W7 and used the USB cable that comes off the charger and it detected fine. Do a shutdown/restart on the laptop and the same on the N7.

If it's a mac you need a specific download for it. Look through the nexus 7 manual in Google books for what you need.

I might be wrong, but I don't think Windows XP supports the MTP protocol that the Nexus 7 uses (no more Mass Storage Driver).
I think you might be able to get XP to see your Nexus by downloading the software package referenced at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19153

If you haven't already found a fix, a simple restart of my computer always fixes it for me. My galaxy nexus, transformer prime, and nexus 7 all have had this happen for me and I just reboot to fix it

you coudl also change the nexus from mtp to ptp..

MTP on window XP-SP3
For window XP check your Window Media Player version. If it's version 9 or older, MTP is NOT supported.
You can update Window Media Player to version 11 (some say that 10 would do it too, but I tried 11 and
it worked for me). This will enable winXP-SP3 to support MTP. This download is available directly from
MS or on Cnet.
Good luck

Thank you will test now will report back later

MTP on window XP-SP3
It worked for me. After I installed WMP 11, my N7 showed up in My Computer and I could drag/drop files to/from it.
I used the download from CNET at
http://download.cnet.com/windows-media-player/?tag=contentMain;contentBody;1d
You may also have a "stale" already installed USB driver for the N7 that was not correct in
which case you'll have to muck with the "Device Manager" (Control Panel->Sys->Hardware->DeviceManager)
to remove or update the driver for the N7. Make sure you know which driver is the N7, you don't want to remove
drivers for other devices that are working for you.
Good luck

install pda net on computer with phone hooked to pc with usb and it will install the right drivers........

Try this driver.
PTP should be selected within Storage in Settings, not MTP. USB Debugging of course. Also, you should have downloaded Google USB Driver Rev. 6 within the SDK. That's what worked for me when i was having trouble getting it to show up, hope that helps.

Yup - setting it as PTP worked for me - thanks.
neither method PTP or MTP is working for my mac. any more ideas for a MAC?
Try the driver from Asus
Hi,
I can only tell you what worked for me, which may not be so helpful since this is the first device I've ever hacked into.
If you see the Nexus 7 driver disabling/enabling in Widows Device Manager as you toggle "Enable USB Debugging" on the tablet, you most likely are using a driver that cannot interface with ADB. Try going to Asus and download the Nexus 7 ADB driver--it's up there (21 Sep 2012). Install it in your C: drive somewhere you can locate easily, and tell device manager to update the Nexus 7 USB driver. It should work--mine runs like a spotted ape now.
Happy Trails,
Dorsal
Also, make sure you have java installed. That's what messed me up when I was first trying to set up.

[Q]MTP not detecting on laptop

Hi guys, I have my N4 for about a month now but since I got it I never got MTP to detect on my laptop. I was only transferring my files through PTP(camera mode) and bluetooth so far. Now I want to transfer my Band road backup and flash custom roms so that would require me to browser through the folders on the laptop.
PTP mode only works when USB debugging is ticked though. And MTP is nowhere near. When using PTP I have to manually move the files to correct folders after disconnecting the phone from pc.
I have rooted, unlocked so i think drivers are all fine right?
I thought about Wifi transfer and such but I have limited bandwidth here and only have one laptop to try.

Reinstall drivers from the Nexus 4 toolkit. Go in to device manager and see if it says "Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface" (yes Galaxy Nexus). If it does, then enable USB debugging. It will show up.
Yep, unload and reinstall the driver.

The problem for me was Windows media player, i had to install that to be able to connect my nexus 4 through MTP to my computer.
Dont know if it helps for you, but you can try it!
What os is your laptop running? if XP then search for mtp xp fix.
Got it working. yay! Thanks guys!

Can't get win xp to read my Nexus 7 after wugfresh root

Hi, I was so happy that after suffering from trying to root my Nexus 7 with wugfresh toolkit, finally got the job done (driver installation problem then mtp change to camera). Now after another several hours of trying, re-installing drivers and everything else I've read around nothing seem to make windows xp detect my nexus 7 as mtp for file transfer. I must add that before I started the whole rooting process, it was working fine, I mean the whole file transfer thing. Am I still missing something?
I just want to be clear though that I do not blame wugfresh toolkit and thankful in fact for that.
Turn USB debugging off , then see if it detects it

I have tried that on multiple cases. My PC would sound meaning there was something plugged in/out in the usb but still nothing appears in windows explorer..
I've got windows xp as well ... Does the sound have 2 dings or 3 when connected?
Also try rebooting both computer and tablet
Edit: go to developer options, under USB debugging there is ' revoke USB debugging authorisation' .. Click that while connected
Hope that helps
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Just the two beeps that means something was plugged in...Also tried the revoke option, still nothing. I see that my pc acknowledges the Nexus & but not as mtp because the option to safely remove my device is present but no drive letter was assigned to it and I couldn't see the device in windows explorer. What else could I try?:crying:
All I can think of now is to reinstall the drivers
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Done that too. I'm thinking about re-using samsung drivers instead as it worked fine before I went through the rooting process. I'll try it out later today and post results.

Finally got it...I would like to give credits and thanks to the members in this link (threadstarter and all those who contributed in it):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934306
So to sum it all up, I had to manually reinstall/update the driver -> selected "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" -> clicked "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install." ->then seleted "MTP Device"
Note: at first it had problems but as stated in the link, I downloaded Microsoft MTP Port Kit (mtppk12.exe), installed it and voila!
So happy right now...thanks for the help! :victory:

But no way to connect to PC. Any ideas?
Thanks Guys,

Install drivers

I have installed the drivers but no luck. abd can access the tablet in recovery but not when the system is up.
Nothing shows up when the SYSTEM is up...Not the storage or USB debugging.
Anyone else seen this?
You have the proper drivers installed for when in recovery but the wrong ones for when in os, uninstall these and get the appropriate ones

Did you download drivers from SDK tools or root toolkits?

Use third party manager in your computer bro. Like MOBOROBO OR something like that to tranfer any file bro. In other way you can use android manager to to flash zip like recovery and img file. They cause by driver or adb problem

Go to ASUS.com. They have the drivers and instructions to make your computer recognize your Nexus 7 pad.
Had this problem the other night. Use Wugs Nexus toolkit it has a guide/walk through to get you sorted out.
