Works fine on mine. Try one of the usb ports on the keyboard. Also when you plug the phone in USB does the android USB storage screen come up?
You need to press the enable USB button on that screen before Mac will recognize it.

Same here. Works fine. Maybe you are not enabling the USB storage mode?

Don't have an iMac but I do have two MacBooks (or I did before I sold my old MacBook two days ago) and both of them picked up my Nexus S fine. Oddly, though the new MacBook never could find the phone for ADB.

I don't have A usb port on the keypad...but when I connect it to the monitor I get the little android in my phone...I enable USB storage and he turns orange..!!!

And nothing happens on the computer? It should pop up a drive called NO NAME

Note that since Snow Leopard, the default setting in Finder is to not show disks on the desktop. You have to go in the Finder and look at the list of connected disks on the top left-hand column, you'll surely see it there.

are you sure? I'm running snow leopard and have no memory of changing that on either laptop. They both came stock with snow leopard.

I have a macbook with snow leopard. When I mount a drive it does not show on my desktop. I have to open finder to see it under devices. I don't know if it an option setting or not. In comparison my old Mac (before OSX) would show all drives mounted on the top under the Mac Hd Drive. Make sure you are setting your phone to connect also.
I have never had any problems on either PC or Mac.

Of course it's an option, and has been an option for as long as I have used OS X (since Tiger at the very least). Apple just changed the default in Snow Leopard.
kenvan19: if you don't see that as the default on both your Macs, could it be because you have migrated your users from previous Macs? The settings you had before would have been imported, and you would have never seen the new default...

Did you try another cable at all?
I'm really scared now, I'm in the same situation. I just bought a phone off eBay last week and I was told on the forum to try a new cable which I ordered and has yet to arrive.
The seller said it was "New-mint condition" mentioned nothing about a corrupt usb drive.
What can I do?? Is there anyway I can fix it myself? I really want to be able to transfer music to it.

cant transfer pictures to computer?

I tried to connect my nexus 4 to my PC , but it would not recognize it under my computer like it should so I could drag and drop. I tried mounting it as MTP and PTP and neither would be recognised.
I ended up transferring my pictures using adb, but I don't know why it didn't work the standard way.
Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried using drop box? It's really simple and automatic. Just set it to upload only on Wi-Fi

I've used it before but I want to know why the nexus 4 was not recognised by my computer

Is Android debugging on?

Is it having trouble with installing the MTP driver ? Try turning off USB debugging, I couldn't get MTP to work until I did that.

Maybe you've got the same problem that we have here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005437
Maybe you try:
A different USB port
A different USB cable
Uninstall existing drivers + installing the drivers again
A different computer
And if all that didn't help you can join us in the above mentioned thread. We don't have a solution yet but maybe we can draw some attention to the issue.

All the driver seem to be fine and the nexus 4 is recognised via adb. It used to work before so I don't what's wrong.
Edit: yes USB debugging was on

Ok, but that's actually good! What happens if you plug it into a different usb port?

It says your device could be faster with USB 2.0 and then it is not recognised.

Now that's really odd. Have you tried a different USB cable?

I'm using the stock lg cable. I'll try with my nexus 7 cable.
Edit with my nexus 7 cable it says connected by the windows 7 notification, but when I check in computer it does not show anything

But you have seen your N4 in the explorer before, right? I have seen my N4 on my GFs windows machine as Nexus 4, not as a storage device.

It shows up under devices and printers, but not under my computer
Edit:maybe it has to do with android 4.2 because I just plugged in a flash drive and it showed up under my computer

And what happens if you double-click it there? Can you get your pix then?
Edit: I didn't find my N4 as a storage device, so you can't find it as a letter in your explorer but a real device.

If I double click it it takes me to nexus 4 properties. My nexus 7 does not show up in my computer either that's what bled me to think it has to do with 4.2
Edit:nevrmind its not 4.2 because I just connected a lg motion which is running 4.0 and it does not show up either

Maybe someone with a win7 machine can chip in here, since I think it is a windows problem. I am on a linux laptop, so I can't really help you there. But good luck anyway!

Thanks for your help

By George, I fixed it I went into device manager I right clicked on SAMSUNG android phone then nexus 4 under that section, then I clicked update driver. Then I clicked on browse my computer for driver software after I clicked on let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer and I select mtp. The all of a sudden auto play came up with my device connected as a camera (ptp)
Now all my phones show up under my computer

MTP uses a completely different driver from ADB. So you can have one working but not the other.

Nexus 4 as USB drive rather den MTP

Hi,
Is there a way to make nexus 4 as a usb drive rather den a MTP in windows? cos i think that the transfer is way slower via MTP.
Thanks..

Well no solution yet, but I've found something from another LG device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800935
Has anyone tried this command?
Would be great if this will work with our device though :fingers-crossed:

Maybe that will work!!!! But not sure will it cause other problems.....
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Ok i just tried the command. All it's it does is unchecks MTP. If you go into storage USB connection you'll see MTP is not ticked..

I'm using paranoid Rom which is based on stock Rom and i have usb mass storage when connecting to computer. I had to uncheck usb debugging.

Nice!! Did you execute the command or is it a feature from paranoid?

When usb debugging is off and i plug the usb cable to my laptop, the pop up with options to open folder appears on the laptop like if i was using a usb sick. I don't have to do anything from the phone.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Well, I tried the command I posted above. I am running CM10.1
I wasn't able to get any kind of usb communication at all after setting the prop.
Hopefully there's a solution coming soon. MTP is quite nice, but it sucks copying media files from different folders. You have to confirm every dialog

[Q] Windows xp will not autoplay Nexus 4

No matter what I do my windows xp machine will not autoplay my nexus 4 so I cannot drag and drop files. I'm pretty sure I have the right drivers installed. I found them in some other thread. I know it's not the phone cause whenever I plug it into my roommates windows 7 computer it opens right up. Please help!

Try disabling usb-debugging if you have it on.

Tried that, nothing happened. In device manager it shows up as Android ADB Interface but my computer will not autoplay it for the life of me.

It should be showing up as an MTP device and installing an MTP driver if you want to be able to open up a file window etc. On XP this often doesn't work till you turn off USB debugging on the phone.
It sounds like you might still not have the correct MTP driver installed.

Upgrade to newer windows media player to get MTP on XP.

Nexus 4 and 7 won't connect to Windows PC

Hello
I have a Nexus 4 Kit Kat 4.4.2 and a Nexus 7 Kit Kat 4.4.2. I also have a Microsoft Windows 7 Desktop computer.
In the past I was able to connect my Nexus 4 phone and Nexus 7 to my Desktop computer with no issues and swap files to the Desktop. These files were usually music MP3 files. However I was able to swap what ever I wanted over.
Today when I connected my Nexus 4 to my Desktop I kept getting error messages every second saying installing drivers or pop up screens asking what to do such as open file. Occasionally I would see Nexus 4 as portable storage but it would vanish within a second. I would also get notification noises every couple of seconds as well.
As far as I am aware I have:
USB debugging ticked
USB computer connection Media device (MTP) ticked
This is all very confusing and frustrating.
As far as I can tell my Desktop, Windows 7 is up to date and that my computer tells me that I have the correct drivers for the Nexus 4.
I have just connected my Nexus 7 to my Desktop and got the error message unknown device. Up till today, I never had a problem with my Nexus 7, but its been a couple of months since I connected them to my Desktop computer.
Any help would be much appreciated.
As an edit
I connected a Gingerbread phone and that would NOT connect to my Desktop
However I connected an ASUS TF300T Jelly Bean 4.2.1 and that connected first time with no problems

I would try re-installing the drivers. Google 15 second adb drivers xda

Hello
I have tried to install new drivers from this site and ASUS's own site but I can not.
Windows 7 keeps telling me that I have the most up to date drivers.
Very confusing

Habe you tried out all your USB ports? Sometimes it refuses to on some ports.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

Connect your device. Open device manger, find device. Right click, properties, driver, uninstall driver (tick checkbox to also uninstall driver software) reinstall driver.

I have errors like that often on PCs, but mostly Apple Computers when running Parallels/Bootcamp. Installing an reinstalling can work, but also switching between the MTP and camera may help temporarily solve the issue

Get usbdeview and get rid of of all Nexus-like entries, then restart and reconnect, see if that helps. Also did you switch from mtp to camera and back? It did help for me in the past in similar situation.
