Don't think anyone is going to want to help you when you start your messages with things like "did you not read"
Anyway, I'm no expert and you probably already tried these things but:
- try reflashing twrp
- try a different usb port and cable
- try restarting both your phone and computer
- try using a different computer
What kind of files are you trying to transfer and how large are they? I believe there is a 4GB size limit on files you can transfer via USB with Android's file transfer protocol. If that's not your problem you might want to try a different USB port and if that doesn't work a different cable.
Either the file is to large or your cable is jacked. Change the cable and use ADB push instead of MTP

I have noticed that when I delete a file using any file manager it says deleted and no longer shows up in that file manager but when you connect it to a computer via the usb cable and pull up the device then the folder where i supposedly deleted the file it is still there. Only when i delete it while connected through the usb cable does it actually delete the file.
Can someone tell me why this is?
The slow read and write speeds along with the slow response of deleting things over the usb cable is almost enough for me to return it and tell moto for such a pricey item they sure used crap parts.

Its the same with any nand flash device. You should see how slow the ipad syncs.

Its actually deleting them from the file manager. If you reboot the xoom it will refresh the drive on your pc.

Do I understand you correctly, that files deleted by some file manager were not deleted?
If so then please, elaborate what files and where they were located.
Flash memory is not that slow to explain this case.
Thank you!

The files were located on the /sdcard but i used the advice to reboot the xoom and they were gone. I am not sure why you have to reboot the xoom in order for them to actual not be seen there anymore though.
I would have to say that i have not seen anything this slow for years as far as copying and deleting files over the usb cord are concerned. I have numerous usb drives of sizes from 1gb-16gb and none of them are as slow as the flash memory on the xoom.
For those of you that would like the ability to transfer files between the internal memory, microSD card, and/or usb data drive from your PC, there is a way. Download and install QtADB.
NOTE: I have updated the instructions. This should work without having to download the Android SDK.
1. First you need to download and install the flavor of Java you require (x86 or x64). This is required for ADB and AAPT.
2. Next download QtADB. Copy the "QtADB_0.8.0_windows_with_libs" folder to the "C:\Program Files\" folder.
3. Finally, download ADB and AAPT binaries for windows. Copy the files to the "C:\Program Files\QtADB_0.8.0_windows_with_libs" folder.
Here is the link for Java: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u26-download-400750.html
Here is the link to QtADB: http://qtadb.wordpress.com/download/
Here is the link for the ADB and AAPT binarie files: http://www.mediafire.com/?yegi0lp9ik5xuk0
Once you get it all loaded, connect your A500 to your PC via the micro USB port. Launch QtADB. The first time you run QtADB, it will ask you for the path to ADB and AAPT. This should be "C:\Program Files\QtADB_0.8.0_windows_with_libs" folder. You should be able to access all your storage internal and external to your A500. I am no expert on this application, but will try to help if I can.
Attached are screenshots of QtADB abd attached to my A500. The Apps and Messages tabs do not work, but so far everything else seems to. Enjoy.
So, no one wants to be able to directly transfer files from thier PC to thier external microSC card? I see a lot of views, but no comments. Has anyone else tried this? Did it work for you? Anyway, happy day.

@dalepl - to answer your question I have posted this SIMPLE method previously. I have emphasied the word SIMPLE because it's not as clever and structured as your method but is probably more suited to us non-programming noobs.
For anyone who wants to see the contents of their sd card on their PC and be able to copy/transfer files from one to the other, why not give this a try, it is very simple and works for my A500.
Before you start you need your A500 to be rooted and you need "USB Mount All version 1.3" from the Market cost $1.99
(1) Have your PC switched on, don't connect your A500 yet but switch the A500 on.
(2) Run USB Mount All and you will see your sd card as a "Device" named "ext_sdcard".
(3) Press the tab "Mount" next to your ext_sdcard. You will see two messages "Mount has been granted Superuser permission" and "Device successfully mounted".
(4) Press the "Menu" tab in the top Right hand corner of the screen, this opens a small box entitled "Settings". Press on "Settings" and you get 3 options, make certain all 3 options are ticked, ticking them if they are not. (The important thing is to have "Mount on Bootup" ticked"). Press the Back Arrow twice to get back to Home Page or where ever you started from.
(5) Re-boot the A500 and after it is back running connect it to your PC using mini usb connector.
(6) Now check your PC and open Windows Explorer, you will find under your A500 Device most of the folder/directories that are in /mnt/sdcard (which isn't all that relevent to this) BUT importantly you will find a folder/directory entitled "ext_sdcard" which for those of you who noticed is the exact name that "USB Mount All" called your sd card.
(7) Now use Windows Explorer to copy and paste whatever you want into the "ext_sdcard" folder.
(8) Please note that when you start to copy files you will get up a warning box stating "Do you want to copy XXXXX to your device?". You are given 2 choices (1) No skip this file or (2) Yes.
(9) Put a tick in the box at the bottom Left and click on "Yes".
(10) When finished safely disconnect your A500 from your PC and re-boot your A500.
(11) After re-boot go back into "USB Mount All", chose top Right menu and settings box and remove the tick from the 3rd option "Mount on Bootup". Each time you are going to copy, move or delete files first of all put the tick back in the 3rd box and when you're done take it out.
Your Done. If you use any File Explorer to look at /mnt/external_sd you will see all the files residing on your sd card including those you've just copied.
I think the reason is people wish there were a simpler way than to have to download 13 programs and do this do that...
But still, thanks.

You may be right. Looking closer I am going to change the directions. You do not have to install the SDK to get this to work. You can download ADB and AAPT files from the QtADB site.
I believe someone else in another thread mentioned Droid Explorer. Works great for me.

I took a look at this one and although it does look good and does most of the same thing QtADB does, I still perfer QtADB. For one, I can delete, move, and copy files from the A500 external storage to the PC and vice versa from right within QtADB. I did not spend much time with Droid Explorer and it may be able to do the same thing, but I did not find it. All in all, I guess it will be up to each user to pick the one they like. Both seem to be good options.
File transfer directly between PC and external_sd (WiFi)

I use WiFi File Explorer, from the Market. I can easily transfer files directly between my PC and my SD card over the same WiFi net. See http://www.appbrain.com/app/wifi-file-explorer/com.dooblou.WiFiFileExplorer for details. Don't even need the USB cable! My mobile phone can act as a WiFi hotspot (HTC Desire Froyo from Telstra) so I'm never anywhere that this can't work for me.
HTH.

Good to hear. I saw many people asking in other threads about this ability, but had not seen anyone mention how except for taking your micrSD card out and using an adapter to hook it up to your PC. I have been using QtADB since I got my HTC Droid Incredible a year ago and gave it a try with the A500 and it worked, so I thought I would let everyone know. It is good that now there are three alternatives listed for everyone.

I should just add, I think the default browse folder when you install it is /mnt/sdcard. Just change the default to /mnt in the app's menu, and then on the pc you can browse to either sdcard or external_sd from the local IP address the program gives you on the tablet.

Glad it worked for you.
I use ES File Explorer, its free and fairly straight forward. I can access any shared file on my PC and move/copy any file from my A500 to my PC and vise-versa. It also accesses Dropbox, which is handy. Probably not a perfect solution, but it works well enough for me. I'm sure there are other file explorer apps out there that do the same thing, but I've been using ES since I got my Archos 5IMT way back when so I'm used to it.

Nice. The real difference between using a file explorer on the tablet and the solution I gave is that no shared folders or dropbox are needed. You can access all the folders on the PC and all the storage on the A500. The interface is just like the Windows Explorer, so there is no big learning curve. I do like that this is showing people different ways to get to the same solution. Now they can use the one that best fits them.
I cant copy files from nexus 4 to pc using USB cable. stock 4.2.2 rom,rooted. adb drivers are from google sdk,and i try from nexus toolkit 2,but they are the same. i try on 2 pc,using w7/32 and w7/64. PC recognize nexus as mtp device and ptp - usb debuging is on, when is off,working too,as mtp and ptp. when i try to copy files to pc, it start first checking something,then copy files,but copied folder to pc is empty or it contains only first file from nexus folder i want to copy. i try to copy folder with apk files. it happens all time. any help?
You will not see the entire directory tree in MTP or PTP mode. These modes are designed to share non-system directories with a host system via a USB cable connection without dismounting them from the Android OS. You need to use some type of ADB mode.

You can instead use AirDroid, transferring files over wifi (LAN) tends to be faster and easier than that MTP BS, and you won't have to mess with ADB if it's more than just one or two files (course you could always use something like ES file explorer to compress a bunch of files then transfer just that one).
PS: Even before MTP/PTP, with the normal USB mass storage mode, only the 'media' storage such as the SD card or the user space on the internal was visible, USB didn't show system or /data files back then either, and thus the same alternatives were still used (adb, airdroid, etc).
---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------
By the way messing with /system (which is normally read-only til you re-mount it) or /data directly can usually run into problems with permissions if you're attempting to change or copy anything at those locations (As opposed to copying off of them).
hey XDA,
I am not able to copy Flac audio files from my PC to the Internal Storage of my galaxy s4. When I paste the Flac files into the phone, it prompts for file format not supported, then I click 'No, just Copy' and for all files. But then it only copies the first file (If I selected multiple files) and then freezes. When I cancel the process, the first file is copied successfully.
How can i fix this?

as for me i didn't like to copy file from my pc to my s4 using usb as it only support mtp mode and not usb mode
this only suggestion from me.if you getting continues error to copy your file through usb and you got good internet connection simply upload your file to cloud storage and download to your mobile

sorry,nerver have this problem before..guess you need to wait for file to completely copy to your phone if it hang just wait until it complete
I have found out the solution today. I had the same problem on two phones, two systems, two laptops. People usually use same set of applications etc
I always used K-lite codecs to play videos on the PC. This causes the problem with copying the Flac files to the phone somehow. Uninstalling it makes it back ok.
This is a totally n00b question. I have been able to do this with all of my other phones . With this one, I plug it in and get two drives that show up on my laptop (Debian), one with a lot of numbers and the following files inside:
adb_config_Linux_OSX.sh
AndroidFileTransfer(OSX).dmg
autorun.inf
OnePlus_setup.exe
OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup.exe
The other is called OnePlus with nothing inside.
I can't copy SuperSu's zip file to either of them or rename the files I listed above. I don't get any errors. There's just no option to paste as if they're read-only.
Haha, I feel so stupid. I guess on my previous phones the default when I plugged my phone into my laptop's usb was MTP, but on 1+ it's charging. I just had to open up "developer options" and scroll down to "Select USB Configuration" and choose "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)." Now everything shows up, and I can paste the SuperSU zip file. This video helped me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKeVp2XN-1c
I'm still wondering about those two drives though. If anyone has any insight or can link to another resource, I'd appreciate it.
