[Q] Files invisible in Android File Transfer App - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to transfer Titanium Backup files from my N7 to my Mac. The backup files are visible in ES File Explorer on the tablet in the TitaniumBackup folder on the sd card directory , but when the folder is viewed on the AFT app on my mac, it is empty.
The folder properties are read/write and not hidden.
I managed to see them, and transfer across last week, so I'm wondering why I cant now? I've flashed a couple of mod ROMs, then back to stock since - is that likely to have altered anything?
I have tried uninstall and reinstalling the AFT app on the mac, but the same problem persists.

Same thing with Windows 7 mate. Some of my files I can see on phone's file explorer but not on Windows explorer. I'm using AOKP ROM btw. Don't know if it's happening on stock ROM though.

SD Card file encrypting

Hi,
I have problem I turned on File encryption and used it. Later I noticed that it is possible to copy files with ActiveSync without entering password. I started to think that it useless in the case if my phone will be stolen. I turned it off.
Yesterday, I wanted to copy photos from my HD2 but I can't do that. If I copy files by using ActiveSync 4.5 I receive empty files(size=0). If I copy file in the phone by using Explorer from DCIM folder to another folder the file size also is empty. I connected to PC and used flash as a disk drive in that case I saw encoded files, I copied them to the PC and looked in hex editor the files have some encrypted data.
I even tried to turn on encryption. I copied 1 file using ActiveSync and it has the same addition "94ab5ede.menc" as the files I can't copy.
Please help me. Those files are very important.

[Q]Titanium backup: Transfers from internal memory to PC

Hi,
I am using TF honeycomb 3.1 rooted and latest version titanium backup and win7 64bit.
When I connect my TF to my PC, I can see titanium backup folder with all files in it, but for some reason I can not transfer the whole backup folder to my PC. It can only transfers 2 files.
So I look intensively in to it. I tried to use root explorer to zip the backup folder. But, I can not see my backup ziped file.
Someone having the same problem?
Thank
I have had this problem. When it happens do a few things. I reboot the tf , make sure usb debugging is off and try to get the tb bu copied as quickly after reboot as possible. YMMV
Try moving the backup folder to your external microsd card and physically moving it to the computer. It should allow you to copy the folder then.
Use adb pull command.

Filesystem errors?

Hey guys, I'm running stock ROM and it's unlocked/rooted with the toolkit.
Three things are bugging me:
1) When I connect my phone to a computer, some folders that I just created on my phone using a File Explorer do not show up.
2) When I mass transfer files from phone to computer. Some files ended up not transferring, no matter how many times I try.
3) When I restore appdata using Titanium Backup, sometimes it does not work.
Bump.

Need help. I see multiple copies of the same file folder when connected to my PC.

Just like the title says. When I connect my A500 to the PC to copy a movie over I will see multiple copies of the folders on my external SD card (currently are three copies of the folders showing). The internal SD card is fine.
If I go to the last "copy" of the folder on the external SD, I can copy files to and from, but if I go to any of the copies, it hangs and I have to unplug the tablet from the PC and reconnect.
Anyone know how I can get rid of these extra copies? If I use Es file explorer on the tablet, everything is fine. It is only when I use windows explorer that I get this problem.
updated drivers?

Drivers are latest.
I am getting ready to try an experiment. I am going to use windows explorer delete everything from the external SD while the tablet is plugged into the computer. I have a back up copy of all the files and I will re-copy them to the SD card (again using windows explorer) to see if it shows only one copy.
This must be a windows explorer thing since I only see one copy of everything when I am using Es file explorer on the tablet. I just find it amazing that no one else has had this problem before.

Factory reset device, cant access storage/emulated/0

Hi there
Im sorry if this been asked before, but I did some searches and couldnt find anything related to this
I just made a factory reset on my phone, because the battery drain was horrible and couldnt locate which app was causing this.
The device is rooted and its been working fine until now. For some reason Titanium Backup cannot access the path storage/emulated/0. This is where the backups are supposed to be stored. But it doesnt have access to any other internal path, it always says "this folder is not writable" every time I try to use internal storage. Thus cant make any backup or restore. I cant even see the list of the apps that are installed in order to freeze some of them.
Same happens to ES File Explorer. Before I could access storage/emulated/0 to transfer files from/to my MicroSD. And when I tried to copy a WhatsApp back up it says that it failed. In the memory selector I could choose between extCard and the before mentioned path. Now I can only see the extCard and a "legacy" drive, or whatever its called.
I tried fixing permisions for TB and ES File Explorer and used an App thats suppossed to fix the KitKat SDcard issue but its not working for me
It seems to me that the internal storage is somehow write protected?
Anyone can help? With links or your own knolwdge.
Thanks

Did you find a solution? I am stuck with the same issue and have tried all the steps you mentioned.
Sadly I didn't find any solution for this issue. I just sold the device and got a Note 3 shortly after I wrote this post. Maybe you could reflash the whole firmware via Odin? Or restoring the device via Kies.
