[Q] Nexus 7 32GB doesn't appear in windows as MTP?

I just turned my nexus 7 32GB on and connected it to the same cable as the 16GB I just returned. It doesn't show up on my computer at all in MTP mode. Only in PTP mode. Any ideas on what to try?
*EDIT*
USB debugging is not on. Tried to install the asus drivers and got an error about there not being a driver for 64-bit in them, despite seeing the x64 drivers in the package.
Also, as MTP, my nexus 7 shows up as VID_18D1&PID_4E41&REV_9999
Again, that's with USB debugging disabled, it shows up only as an ADB device.
*RESOLUTION*
I uninstalled the ADB driver while it was plugged in with MTP mode. I unplugged it and replugged it and now it works fine.

is usb debugging on?

i got drivers from asus site.
deleted all references to N7 and rebooted windows.
un checked debugging on N7.
went to storage and checked mtp.
connected to windows.
when windows wants to install new MTP device, pointed it to the usb_driver folder..
windows installed MTP device..
this all happened to me today.. i am brand new for this device and the N7 board.
i spose this is fine for me but i would still like to see MyComputer show as USB mass storage..
i feel like the MTP doesnt show everything , limiting my access / control..
i would like to know how to do this,
thanx

you didn't uninstall all references to adb first. even if you have to go back to a restore point. then start over for Windows to install as mtp

USB not working on Windows 7

Last night I finally decided to use Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit to unlock the bootloader, root the device, flash CWM recovery and installed SlimBean ROM. It was somewhat of a pain to get adb to work at first, it had me uninstall drivers off my PC. Now when connecting my tablet to my PC, PC is not letting me view the internal SD card, nothing comes up. I've tried connecting it to another Windows 7 PC, same issue. Wondering if its something with the ROM, anyone else had this problem? What's the solution.

Uninstall USB ADB Driver
I had the same problem. What ended up working was re-connecting the tablets via USB to my Windows 7 machine. Open up Device Manager and find Nexus 7, right-click on it and select Uninstall (this removes the ADB drivers that were used to root, etc). Then disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it. Then it should automatically reinstall the USB drivers for MTP access. Hope that helps.

That's actually what I had to do to get Root Toolbox to work....or so it said.. I'm surprised though, if I hook it up to another PC why that PC wouldn't automatically try to install the driver.. If I have it with USB debugging off, it doesn't show in the display manager, if I enable USB debugging it does. Tried uninstall, disconnect, reconnect USB cable, same issue.

Check your USB Connection settings for MTP yet?

Thank you. Didn't know where that was at first. Went to settings:storage:menu icon:USB connection settings: checked MTP. now my PC is detecting the N7.

[Q] CM10.2, SD card won't show in windows, however camera will?

Nexus 4 with CM 10.2
With usb debugging turned off my nexus 4 will not show up in my computer (windows 8) at all, if I enabled USB debugging and select enumerate as camera (PTP) it will show up in my computer however I can only access the DCIM director, if I select media device (MTP) it will not show up at all, If I disable usb debugging and select either MTP or PTP I also get nothing.
I've tried reinstalling the drivers for windows but no luck, it used to work and then I installed CM and now it is broken, ideas?

desinstall and delete all adb/nexus/fastboot related drivers. then restart and reconnect nexus and wait till windows install the driver.
if u want adb and sd u need to install universal naked driver.

Help! Can't Get ADB to Recognize Note 7

I cannot get ADB to recognize my Note 7. I've installed the ADB & FastBoot 15-second install from the XDA forum, but when I plug my N7 into the PC it only recognizes it as a USB drive.
Dev options enabled,
USB Debugging enabled
USB configuration (MTP mode)
The only entries under Other in Device Manager are CDC and MTP, no Android Device. The phone is also listed under Portable Devices. No USB mode brings up "Android" in the list of devices under Other.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have proper Samsung usb drivers installed? Check your device manager, just asking sometimes phones can be finicky when trying to get the PC to recognize devices.

Thanks carelockh! That did the trick. I looked in Device Manager and found that only the Windows USB device driver was installed. I downloaded and installed the Samsung driver and was able to connect over ADB.

No problem, anytime glad I could help.

If MTP, PTP does not work (If you can't acces phone storage with PC)

My Win10 Insider Preview machine did not recognize the phone. Nothing happened when I connected the phone and I could not access storage of the phone.
Below is the solution for it:
Go to Control Panel - Device Manager - LeMobile Android Device (could be under a different name. Choose the one that is your phone) - Update Driver - Manually Install a Driver - Let me pick a list of available drivers on my computer - MTP USB .

Uhm ... when you connected the phone to computer you changed the mode on phone from USB charging to MTP mode ?
In my Win10 x64 build 14392.447 not problem to see the phone in MTP mode after changing mode on phone.

Alternative solution is to use KDE Connect app over Wifi. Bonus is that once set up, it is possible to push files from the phone to the PC without any interaction on the PC side - e.g. useful if the PC doubles as a file server.

Both of my home & works computer (Win10 14959) failed to detect it as MTP or PTP drive. Might have been due to those having previous phone's drivers.
But I faced same problem with fresh out of the box Win8 laptop.

No issue with the MTP, however I can't seem to get adb to work. list of devices attached is showing empty.

Wanted to add my voice here too that I did the same - I had to clean up previous drivers I had installed over time for varios phones and different ADB versions like the one from clockworkmod - once I cleaned that out and installed google drivers from SDK PTP worked and I was able to do Helium restores

I had issue on my Win10 PC, but I found that after I disabled USB debugging, it would work as MTP/PTP, but not for ADB of course. So apparently, I have to toggle USB debugging ON/OFF to switch back and forth from MTP and ADB.
Small pain in the butt.

Solution.
I had the same issue. Drove me NUTS for about an hour. In the end, simply unchecked the USB DEBUGING in developer settings. This will make it pop up immediately.
Update:
I clearly should have read the post above mine first.
