my laptop set-up is Win8 64 and recently have been having issues with the file transfers.sometimes it wont work and sometimes it will.yesterday trying to put my music files back on would not work at all.today it worked and now when i try putting movies on my n7 it shows the file window but wont move.when i close the transfer window it says 5 minutes remaining?? this is ridiculous.oh and i have pdanet installed so i could use the nexus toolkit.please help
Solved....i guess.i have to transfer it to the root of the internal memory than move it to my movies file with a file manager.
Thread Closed
This is a previously documented issue in virtually all device forums. Windows doesn't like doing large transfers to android sometimes.
So to avoid even more duplication, this thread is closed.

So I installed MAME4Droid on my Nexus 7 and I try to move over my 0.37 collection and I get the Windows Explorer error "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected".
Any ideas? I can move the ROMs over 300 or so at a time but that will take ages upon ages. I've tried wi-fi transfers using ES File Explorer as well but that drops out too much and actually corrupts the MAME4all folder, leaving it inaccessible.
Hey folks,
Been trying to transfer movies over to my nexus 10 but having trouble.
The problem is when I connect via MTP it starts to install the drivers, few seconds go by and then finishes by saying the drivers were not found. I've owned a few android devices, my last being the nexus s and have never seen these issues before. Any ideas?
Now what it will do is connect/register when I have it selected as a camera but it wont allow me to transfer the files though....

Search Google Play AirDroid ，that is awesome application.
More details check description or video out

Is there a ADB driver installed for the Nexus 10? If so, uninstall it, and MTP should work. You can reinstall the ADB driver afterwards as well and it'll usually work fine.
Also did MTP work fine on the other devices?
I used the drivers from the toolkit and that allowed it to pick up mtp on win 8
As already mentioned, use Airdroid, its quicker too.
Just wanted to confirm about AirDroid
I too had issues transferring video files (mp4, mkv, etc.) but also simple mp3 from my computer (PC with Windows 7) via USB to my Nexus 10 (even though I set it up properly for Media File Transfer MTP).
I still haven't figured it out; windows actually has a hard time to recognize the device, and it could be that I need to follow procedure described on this other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830108
I haven't tried yet but I did try the AirDroid app (which is free) and it works like a charm. I could transfer my mp4 and mkv movie files from my PC to the Nexus 10 wireless using this app, it's really great.
I just wanted to make a post about this including as many relevant keywords as possible so that this thread shows up for somebody with the same issue trying to find some info on Google; for the past 2 days, most of the top results just brought me to crappy sites trying to sell video conversion software

Windows Transfer
Note: Remember, your Nexus 10 will only recognize the files you’ve transferred if:
a. The file is a Nexus 10 supported file type like H.263, MPEG-4 SP, H.264 AVC.
b. Files are free of digital rights management (DRM) software.
Step 1. Connect your Nexus 10 to the USB port on your computer. Its USB storage is mounted as a drive and appears on your computer screen.
Step 2. Copy video/music/picture files back and forth as you would using any other external device.
Step 3. When you finish, eject the Nexus10 from within Windows before unplugging the USB cable.
I have some questions maybe somene can help.
I have some questions maybe someone can help:
1.-I have connected the NEXUS with all the options to root in debugger, PTP, etc. I already root all ok. But I want to know if there is a way to see the full directories of the sd memory of the NEXUS in the PC because I see only DCIM and PICTURES directories. I want to copy some things to Download directory , etc., of course I'm not interested in system directories I know system directories always is more complicated I want justto see the internal memory
2.-I enabled the debugger pressing a few times the button inside "about" but there is a way to disable the dubegger options?
Thank you
Had this problem for a while... What ended up fixing it was going to development options and disabling USB debugging and then connecting the nexus to your computer... Make sure you enable debugging when you're done transferring your files

I have this problem with my Nexus, and it's been there on my 1st Nexus and on my 2nd (after replacing motherboard, so I suppose it counts as different device )
When I connect N7 to a PC it sees it as media device and I am able to copy files to it. But then I delete some of the files from Ghost Commander on N7 and when I reconnect, it shows the files are still there? Is this normal? I am on non-rooted stock device.
Thanx,
D.
Yeah, it's normal as in "happens all the time, happens to/for everyone".
The thing is that the sucky MTP process doesn't refresh the filesystem content that often and reports cached directory structures to the PC.
Same thing when adding files, they might not show up on MTP right away.
Not exactely sure on how to trigger a refresh on the MTP process, that's why I always reboot before having the PC touch my files.
Also (as you mention Ghost Commander ) I don't use MTP most of the times, I use Ghost Commander's SMB capability to just copy files via WiFi to an from my PC.

Good to know. The problem of using SMB is when I'm at work that my PC is on other network than Nexus and Dropbox is too slow for huge files Thanx anyway,

I am having an issue backing up files and folders from my Nexus 7 to my Windows 7 PC through the provided USB cable. The problem itself is that when I copy a folder from my Nexus 7 to my harddrive, only the folder will copy but none of the contents. I can still copy individual files from within that folder but not all the time and only some of the time I can copy groups of them. I can copy groups of folders only sometimes also. It seems random which files do not copy and they are not large files but very small only 15kb word documents.
I just got off the phone with Google's support service but no one there knows anything about the issue. The guy I was on the phone with didn't even know what MTP was. He suggested trying troubleshooting steps for fixing Windows XP problems, and told me to use Google Drive. Neither of those were good options for me. He also told me that another tech would tell me the exact same thing. I nearly lost it at that point, but I asked him to escalate the problem anyways and hopefully they will get back to me within a few days.
There is another thread about this same problem but it was posted last year and the title does not match well. That is why I have started a new thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996385&highlight=windows+usb+transfer
If you also have this problem please respond so we can get some discourse going on the issue. If you know of a fix let me know. I've tied everything you can do from re-installing drivers to stopping all apps on my device. It's a vanilla Nexus 7 so it could be an Android 4.2.1 issue.
Please don't respond and tell me to use Google Drive or other cloud services or some app. I know of all the other routes for transferring files.
Try re-booting your Nexus 7 by turning it off and then back on. The file list that MTP shows on you Windows computer is often out-of-date and does not match the actual files on your tablet. Your Windows computer may show files that have been deleted and may not show files recently added so it gets confused when trying to transfer these ghost files. Re-booting seems to make the MTP file list current.
There may also be a file refresh app in Google Play that does something similar to re-booting.
Hi all,
Having a problem with bluetooth file transfer between by rooted Nook Color (1st Gen.) running CM 10.2, and Fujitsu AH531 laptop running W7 Home Premium/64-bit.
I am able to pair to two up just fine. However, when I try and transfer an .epub to the NC I get an error message within W7 that says, " The Bluetooth device or computer cannot process files of this type"
What's odd is that I am currently able to transfer .mp3 and .txt files just fine. I tested it before posting this message.
Short of changing the file extension from epub to txt, and then changing it back again with Root Explorer, can anyone think of a more pernanent way of fixing this problem?
On a totally unrelated note, the reason I'm not simply tethering by way of the power cord is that, as of last week's W7 updates, I cannot seem to connect the NC to the laptop. It recognizes what it is. However, it doesn't load the device driver. Kind of maddening!!

Install an FTP server app and you can transfer whatever you want from the internal/external SD card via wi-fi.
I use this: http://ppareit.github.io/swiftp/
You will need to install a FTP client on your computer, like FileZilla: https://filezilla-project.org/
This method is by far one of the best ways to transfer files quickly and securely (you can assign a password for FTP access). Also, it should be quite a bit faster than bluetooth. I get around 1.7MB/s (13.6Mbit/s) max, and 1.3MB/s average. Compare that to bluetooth's max throughput of 0.36MB/s (on bluetooth 3). TL;DR version: wi-fi transfer rate 1.7MegaBYTE/s to bluetooth's rate of 0.36MegaBYTE/s.
I have an FTP server homebrew on my PSP with custom firmware. I have no need for the USB cable whatsoever.
Thanks!! This is sort of one of those "I could have had a V8" moments!!
I went ahead and installed FTP Server Ultimate. Chose that one basically because I found a video review here on XDA when I Googled ftp servers. The free version looks like it's more than I need.
But, with that said, it STILL doesn't explain why the bluetooth file transfer is refusing to transfer an epub file to the tablet. I went ahead and renamed the file with .txt and, sure enough, it transfered just fine. Then I renamed it back and my ebook reader was able to open it just fine, with no obvious corruption from the name change.
Obviously, I probably won't need to use bluetooth transfer anytime soon now that I'll have the working ftp server. But, it would be nice to figure out what's the issue.
Later,
Robert

Sorry, I don't know why your bluetooth file transfer doesn't work for epub files. Try removing file associations for that format.
