[Q] Cannot copy files from PC to Internal or Removable memory

I was previously able to copy files from my pc through USB to the transformer to both the removable and internal memory; however, this week I get a "Cannot copy file; device has stopped responding or is disconnected". I can still browse the files that are there and even delete them, but I cannot copy to either memory area.
I see in XDA and google searched that this error is usually fixed by formatting the drive, but with internal storage?? I dont want to wipe the memory, but I would like to transfer files this way.
I can connect external hard drive through the keyboard dock and transfer files. just not through the provided cable and the PC. I have uninstalled the drivers and rebooted the pc and reinstalled with no luck.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Bump. No ideas?

Btw. I have updated to 3.1 but I had this problem on 3.0
No one else had things problem?
Could it be the cheap ass cable??

if i had to guess, i'd just say the cable is bad, or you need to remove and reinstall MTP drivers.

I also have this problem, tried restarting the pad, doesn't work....
If anyone knows how to fix this it'll be greatly appreciated!

Most likely a windows driver issue, try connecting it to a different PC (to narrow down the problem: if it works on a different PC, then we know its a driver issue, if it doesn't then we know the problem is with the Tablet or the cable).

Change folder name via MTP

Hey guys,
when I connect my nexus 4 with usb to my pc there are no problem
I can browse my internal storage but when I change a folder name it won't work, my pc goes crazy .
I have to unplug my device and plug it back in in order to connect it again.
Copy and moving of data works flawless , only changing the folder names does not work.
Does anyone have an idea?

i used to have MTP bugs similar to this on my one X
usually a restart of the phone solved them

I tried your advice but still it does not work.
What I noticed is that when I create a folder on my phone and then plug it via usb to my pc the folder is vanished. My pc does not recognize my created folder. I have to restart my phone in order to see the folder on my pc.

Same problem here.
i'm using win8, pac man rom.

This might be related to the refreshing mechanism. The folder you created does not vanish, just have not been updated. Maybe an SD card refresh app, like Rescan SD card, would work.

This is typical with MTP, however I haven't had these issues using a Nexus device with Windows 8. If all else fails, you're better off using an Android file manager to rename the folders.

''Unspecific error'' while transfering files from my Nexus 4 onto my PC.

I've been having this issue for a while now. When I want to reset my phone, I always backup the folders on my PC (ex: WhatsApp, Pictures, DCIM).
When the files are being copied it will give me the error and then stop, meaning I'll miss files.
I already tried different drivers, different USB port, not backupping at ALL.
It's annoying. I'm unable to quickly backup files.
I'm confused

Buggy filecopy (Note 3 to PC)

Hello!
I'm trying to backup my phone before i wipe and flash latest Omega rom. But some problems..
I can copy one biiiig (3-4 gb) file from phone to PC in no time, but if i mark several folders, or a folder with like 50 small files in it (a total of ~50 mb) it just hangs on "calculating size" forever.
My setup:
PC - Windows 8.1, latest USB-drivers from Kies
Cable - Tried different ones, but right now the original USB 3.0 cable
Ports - Tried all ports on front and back of PC
Using Explorer to copy. What program do YOU use?
Note: It's the same when i try to restore to the phone..
Ideas?
Thanks

Update: tried with another PC (Windows 7), same problem there. =/

Try Teracopy.

Thanks! But TeraCopy doesn't work with MTP.
I think the best way to solve this MTP-issue (as it seems to be) is to copy Internal card to a folder on the External card, and then copy the files from that extcard via a cardreader directly to the PC, and vice versa.
Alt 2: AirDroid

It's the MTP protocol. It's a nightmare. Sluggish, unstable, slow...
I always copy big files to and from the MicroSD with a cardreader (which is a hassle as I'm using an Otterbox) and then move it internally with ESfileExplorer. (On an older version of both the firmware and ES, so it still accepts MicroSD writing.)

[Q] Can't see most of my files on i9506 when connected to a computer

Hi
I'm planning to do a factory reset on my i9506, since I've had many problems with it lately.
Problem is, when I connect my phone to my computer to backup/copy files i.e. go to Computer\S IV\Phone\DCIM\Camera
I can only see pictures like .jpg files, but not any of my video .mp4 files.
Another example, looking at my Download folder on my computer it shows 70 files, but browsing the folder with my phone there are actually 334 files.
I've tried connecting as MTP and PTP with no difference.
The files I'm backing up are on the phones internal memory. I don't have an SD card atm because the phone messed it up.
Now I can't do a factory reset untill I've gotten all of my "important" files secured on my computer...
How can I fix this? I really need to reset my phone to possibly get it working normally again.

Use something like Airdroid to transfer the files. I also always have some kind of problems transfering files in any other way.
