I just noticed, my ASUS Eeepad doesn't show up when I connect it to my Mac. Is there a reason for that? There is an SD card in the pad, and it works because it shows up via the card reader.
When I connect the USB cable between the pad and my Mac nothing happens. no notification on my pad and no notification on my mac. The mac works all usb ports work. Is my EeePad broken?
Oh, I just noticed that when I attach it to my work laptop, I can access it. So does this mean that Macs are incompatible with this unit?
You need to install this: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/ to access via OS X. It's a roundabout way of doing it, but works beautifully (except for creating subfolders from the UI, can't do that as far as I can tell), and it'll have to do until OS X supports MTP.

I have connected my TF to my desktop and my laptop. I have also connected the tablet to the wall charger to verify that the cord isn't broke. I cannot enter APX mode either. I am running Prime 1.7. So has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone have a fix?
Thank-you in advance.

Had the same exact problem. It's back to Asus on a RMA. Hope you have better luck than I did.
I did try rooting my Transformer but wasn't successful. At any rate when I connect my Transformer to my XP machine it acts like its connected but its not. In order for it to connect I have to tap on the notification icon on the Transformer. This bring up a dialog box & if I tap inside the box the they will connect. When my Transformer is connected shouldn't I get the option to explore like when you insert a USB drive?
You should.
Should be able to explore it just like if you were to plug in a USB thumb or external drive

That is what I thought. Then I tried rooting my transformer via this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104503.
However I am not given the option to explore & my transformer doesn't automatically connect via Asus Sync. I have to tap on Asus Sync on the Transformer to establish the connection. I don't want to go any further with rooting my Transformer until this is resolved. anyone have any ideas?
I know that you should be able to, but when I go into devices and printers it doesnt even show up. Now it is not even turning on. I have had so many problems with this transformer, I am honestly thinking of going to the much dreaded Ipad.

Sorry for being such a noob here, I am not used to honeycomb. But how did you revert to stock? Because all of the unroot methods seem to require APX mode. Which I cannot get into obviously.
This was the only method that worked for me.

BAHHH!! thank-you soo soo much.
My Asus Eee Pad will not mount to my Mac whatever I try. Its driving me insane.
I plug it in to a working USB on my Mac and the tablet signifies the connection and displays USB debugging has connected and attempts to search for the Asus Sync program (which isn't installed).
The Eee Pad mounts to my Windows PC without the Sync program installed and works fine with read and write permission to the internal storage.
My Mac will just not recognize it at all, even checking disk utility it will not show up.

there is no "sync" for mac that i'm aware of; use Android File Transfer it won't sync but you can transfer

I dont want to sync it, I just want to transfer files. I only mentioned sync because when you connect a TF to a USB port on a computer it searches for the Asus Sync Software automatically. But it will also mount the internal storage for file transfer regardless of any sync software. This happens just fine on my Windows PC but on my Mac it just wont mount.
Try Syncmate. available on the market. But Mac's are very everything none apple unfriendly. Basically Apple wants you to have apple products, software and douche bag hippster look. I say ditch one or the other.

Shame, I love Mac's but can't live without Windows.
And I like iOS products but could never live without my Android phone and Tablet.

I use a small program 'Android File Transfer'. Just connect the Pad to the Mac, run the program and the Pad mounts like an external disk. I don't recall where I got this program. You might check: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1120329

Thanks for the heads up...this works awesome! Pops right up and works with phone and my transformer.
As I am using the asus pad as my primary device when at home or travelling, I would like to be able to connect my Sony ebook Reader to the Pad via the USB connection on the keyboard and transfer files like with a normal USB drive. This works like a charm on my work pc, when connected the Ebook Reader shows up as a usb drive and I can move my books around. Howver when I try to connect to the pad, the reader is charged and on the reader it says it is connected via usb, however no removable drive shows up in the file manager. Anyone know how I could get this to work?
Thanks
Noone have any suggestions? Would really love to be able to push books onto the reader from the transformer.
hi.
i have a realy annoying problem.
i cant connect my device to computer. i tried every way.
just plugging the tf to pc. no success.
enabling usb debugging. no success.
by apx. "" ""
i cant even access recovery.
i got my tf today from lab. they replaced my mobo.
and now when itry to access recovery it's just giving me a big green android with a ! inside.
so i thought. is it possible that the problem is with my usb cable?
and that i'll have to buy a new one just to confirm it?
1.) What are your computer's specifications? (OS, hardware, etc.)
2.) When the Transformer is booted into Android and you connect the USB cale from the tablet to your computer, does your computer make any sort of indication that a new device has been plugged in? (In Windows, for example, you'll get the new hardware sound.)
Hi! I have any problem tooi cant connect my transformer to PC.

Try different USB slot, Try different cable (if you can get one). Try different PC with the same OS (Win7 64-bit).
Try to reinstall Asus Sync, and USB drivers.
If it won't work after you have tried all of these, then I have no idea.
My TF works for me out of the box.

Windows 7 would recognize the TF as a Media device and there in lies the problem. You would have to force the Asus Drivers to take precedence and that is the problem. I am also told you would need the '.Net' framework installed and configured properly - as I had installed this long ago I am not sure whether this is required or not as on my PC I did not face problems due to lack of '.Net'.
On Windows XP I was required to install Windows Media Player 11 and then do some more modifications etc and then install PC Sync software from Asus.
I now have my Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit working with the TF.
When you connect your Tablet using the Charger cable, does your Tablet say something like 'Searching for PC Sync Software on PC' in the notification area?
Only if it does the TF would even be trying to communicate with the PC - otherwise it would not even be doing that.
I connected my TF to my Windows machine with the sole purpose of rooting the device and I did succeed in doing that.
I'd like to figure out how to connect my Yamaha MIDI keyboard to my Asus tf101 tablet for recording via hardwired USB.
I've scoured the web looking for an app or solution to this and have come up generally blank, I've tried all the free midi controller apps, but they only seem to support Wifi or Bluetooth, which my keyboard is unable to do.
I'd like to eliminate my computer as a middleman (If I'm at my computer I'd just use that) and be able to use my tablet to record on the go!
Any ideas/thoughts/help/wisdom/proverbs/ninjas would be greatly appreciated
Device Info:
ASUS Transformer tf101 running
ICS 4.0.3 Rooted
I have the dock with 2 USB 2.0 ports that I am connecting to the connecter with.
Cable:
Amazon: USB MIDI Input Output Cable Converter PC Notebook
Works fine on computer and no issues so far via usb.
Thanks!

Can anyone help me?
