I have the same problem. Tried everything in Win 7 32bit both drivers... the one in samsung page and the first one before those... CANT get the captivate recognized by my PC. I tried with at win xp and it works... ANY HELP?
It might be the USB cable. Is it connected directly or through a hub? You might also try plugging it into different port.

i have windows 7 64 bit and here is what i did
1. go to Settings>Application>Development and turn usb debugging on.
2. After you connect it to the comp pull down our notifications menu and select USB connected. It will ask you if you want mount select yes and then go to my computer and it should be there.
If you have kies installed you shouldn't have any driver issue since installing that software properly is best way to insure you have the proper drivers installed. Try uninstalling Kies and installing it again with just the mobile box ticked it should work. I am also running Win7 32bit and use Kies without a problem.

On e you choose disk drive, unplug the phone and then plug it back in.

I had some issues in mu win7 ultimate x64 also, but I just ended up manually installing the drivers. They appeared to install but device manager said otherwise. In Linux I have issues, but that's my own fault. I removed the drivers from my kernel before I bought this, and I'm too lazy to reboot into the right one. But yea, just install manually.
Ok i just picked up my 32gb wifi only xoom. whenever i try to install the drivers it finds the files it needs but produces the following error, "A service installation section in this INF is invalid", WTF do i do tried uninstalling the drivers and anything i can think of ive rooted numerous phones before. is this a problem with the xoom itself and should i take it back?

check to make sure you have windows media 11 or higher on your computer. I had that issue. Running XP I had an issue but Win 7 it installed easily..
This is what I used
Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.1.0_32bit.msi
MotoHelper_2.0.49_Driver_5.0.0.exe
Windows Media 11
Also search around on google lots of people have had this issue and thats how I found my answer.. Also xoomforums.com is a good site for answers as well
OK so I installed wmp11 and it will recognize my xoom thanks for the tip. however now I cannot get ADB to work my device is there I have every sdk ever made down loaded and I have the moto USB driver mentioned installed but I can't get into a ADB to save my life.

usb debugging needs to be checked in order for the adb to work.
So I installed eagle 2.8 and everything is running really smooth! The only thing that wont work is when I tried to connect the USB to my computer. The mount USB drive option pops up. When I turn it on from my phone, the drive doesn't show up on my computer. Please help.

i know this is a simple answer but may work. try rebooting your phone/ fix permissions in CWM and connecting again?
your computer's operating system is missing the drivers for your phone .
here is the link to download and install the necessary drivers for your phone .
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/...itedMobileDriver_S498MA22_WHQL_ML_Ver_2.2.exe
install the drivers and reboot your PC and then connect your phone. it will automatically install new device and you can connect your phone to the pc.
My windows crashed so I had to format my PC. Now when I try to install kies, it says you need xp service pack 3 also my phone doesn't get recognized as a USB device so I'm unable to transfer stuff. How do I get my PC to recognize my phone?

Ofcourse you can Mate.
Here below is the link to dowload the Samsung USB drivers. It works with our SGR too. Just Download and Use them.

Remember to turn on USB Debugging on your Phone. So the next time you connect you can choose the option to mount it as Disk Storage
it says destination not found when i click on the removable disk icon :/
Hmmm. When you connect USB what does it says on Phone? USB connected or MTP connected?
Did you installed the mentioned drivers?
After connecting phone check in Windows device manager if there is any 'Unknown Device' - connected.

Finally!!
okay all i did is tricked my system into thinking that i am using sp 3...there is a small tweak you have to run in regedit. i guess the problem is with sp2. now it is recognizing and kies is installing as well.
Ive connected my S6 to the computer but it doesnt show up in My Computer. It shows that the MTP USB Device driver has failed to install. Any solutions? Ive tried everything available on the internet. Even kies and smartswitch and samsung drivers installed. Nothing seems to work at this point.
Does it work on another PC, or with a different cable?

I tried it on my laptop but it doesnt work on it either. Tried 3 different cables. Weird part is I transferred Music to my phone via the computer just yesterday and all of a sudden today it does this.

Was usb debugging turned on the last time you were using mtp? Is it turned on now?

Try to turn on usb debugging from developer options. See what happens. If it fails then probably your usb connnection somehow got stuck in charge only mode. In that case you will need to force mtp through commandline. Just see what happens after you try to turn on debugging first.
Additional note: this is pretty basic stuff but still worth mentioning. What happens when you try to select usb options type from inside storage settings? Does the settings option open up? Is mtp selected over there?

MTP mode is selected. Ive tried PTP mode as well. But the "MTP" drivers fail to install.

You can force mtp through command line only if you have root access. Are you rooted?
Since mtp is already selected in the connection type list, the problem is probably due to a bad driver structure. Disconnect your device from PC. Remove all the drivers and kies software from your pc. Reboot and connect phone. Try to see if the windows driver works out not. I am guessing you are on windows 7, right?

Ive tried that as well. Windows drivers also couldnt install MTP. Im not rooted. How did this even happen? I mean It was fine yesterday.
You can try these two solutions in their order and report back.
1) On your phone, go to Security -> Device administration->Device adminstrators. Check if there are any app with admin privileges, you have to deactivate them and see if MTP access works.
2) Connect your phone, swipe ur top menu down & tap USB PC connection settings, switch from MTP to PTP. Let driver's install. Now, go to the safely remove & eject media & eject your phone, when it says its safe to remove. Just switch your PTP back to MTP, see if the drivers install successfully then.
