The switch from Samsung USB drivers to Google ones for the recent crop of ROMs is not an obvious one.
There are some links in this post to make it a little easier to get them installed.

No...
It installs drivers if the device already has the same included...
Fit is not plug-and-play, which means you need to install drivers manually...or install kies...
Whichever you prefer...

You don't have to use it if you don't want. Installing Kies means you're installing USB drivers, you don't have to start kies everytime when you connect ur phone through usb. I've installed kies but never used it. I use it HIGHLY OCCASIONALLY.
Yup kies is waste of mem (if u ask me ) for drivers go to sammobile website registr n check our phn specific drivers its just around 25mb file dats easy if u dnt want kies
I found it easier to install drivers kies then uninstall kies

hey i am using the usb cable of galaxy ace. is it the problem? but i think these cables can be used on both the devices.
I use the same cable on 2 different blackberry's, my nokia 5310 and c3, samsung monte, and acer liquid metal...
So I don't think that's the problem...
Have you tried using a different computer?
yes i have triedon different computers also.. but its not working there too.
Hi.
I had the problem too. I did this to connect my phone:
1. Go in DownloadMode. Now, the computer must install drivers, like odin.
2. If the installation finished, hold down the Powerbutton for 10 seconds. It'll restart, if nothing happens try to start with holding the powerbutton again.
3. Then, if the phone is started, your computer finds the phone!
I'm not responsible for any damages!!!!

If you have kies then just install kies on pc then connect your phone;dont need to install driver manually.

You need to remove all the Samsung drivers and kies if present in your PC and install Samsung USB drivers (find them from xda or Google or install kies)
Connect your phone in download mode and let the system detect your phone

This is a NEW problem that is affecting many thousands of people and it happened after the last update.
I have a GT 19300 v4.1.2 and all was well until I installed the update.
Now when I connect the phone to my PC (W7) the system sees it and tries to install drivers but then gives a message saying the it failed to install them.
Device manager now shows my phone as an unknown device and it didn't before.
I have tried lots of fixes and there are now dozens and dozens of them on different forums and none of them work.
This is not a cable problem and not a Kies problem. Lots of people including me have installed and uninstalled it.
I have the Samsung GS3 Int ToolKit an it installed the latest drivers today 1.5.15.0 and they didn't help.
Many people have tried a reset and all it did was waste their time so don't bother.
It looks like only Samsung or Google can fix the problem but I'd love to here of another fix.

Today I disconnected the internet and plugged the phone into a different USB socket before booting the PC
The message I got this time was,
Samsung_Android X Device unplugged
Unidentified Device X No driver found
The above makes no sense to me but if it does to you then please let me know.
Thanks,
Michael

I got a message on my cellphone "the software does not exist on your phone to allow it to connect with your phone. You need .. XP with Windows media player ..." I don't remember the exact words". I'm using W7
Then when I unplugged my phone W7 said drivers are being installed and then said successfully installed. I plugged the phone in and it was recognized.
I opened Samsung GS3 Int ToolKit but it didn't show a serial at the top. I attempted to do a back up of all programs but gave up after a message, "waiting for ADB mode" appeared on the screen for over an hour. My phone isn't rooted; is that why?
The phone is no longer being recognize

I've tried looking everywhere for help on the forums. I don't know why my PC won't recognize my S3. I've tried everything, I'm using the right cable, ive tried all my usb ports, I've downloaded the samsung drivers, reinstalled numerous times. My pc itself isn't showing the phone in the device manager nor is my phone recognizing that it is plugged into the pc except for showing a charge. Idk what else to try...any help is appreciated. Thanks
Did you reboot your computer sometimes help, also connect the usb to the phone then your computer.good luck!!

Are you referring on how to connect S3 to a PC so that you can Odin the phone?
If so, you have to install Android SDK on your PC first. Here's a link. Do a YouTube search as well....there are how-to videos that will walk you thru it.

What operating system are you using? Have you tried disabling any internet/virus/malware protection software temporarily? This may help alleviate your issue. If on Windows, do you hear an audible sound when you connect/disconnect your phone to the PC? Also, try different USB ports if you haven't already. Windows is a fickle beast sometimes
I was getting ready to transfer files to my sdcard on the s3 to root when my phone stopped connecting to my pc and laptop. I have the samsung drivers installed on my comp. I started having this issue after I installed the drivers. My computer and laptop see the phone and always want to install drivers from it and nothing else. Pc is XP and laptop is windows 7 64bit. I want to root my phone, but when the drivers are installed neither my pc or laptop will recognize it. What should I do?
EDIT:
I am now getting this error when driver is installed:
Unable to find software on your pc that can recognize your device. Service pack 3, windows media player, version 10 or higher, for windows xp or android file transfer for mac os must be installed.
You can download and install PC KIES from *website* in order to sync data with your device, back up data, and upgrade your device.
My PC runs service pack 3 and has windows media player 10 on it.
I had a problem connecting to my PC twice since I rooted. All I did was uninstall the Samsung driver from my PC then reinstall. I rebooted after I reinstalled then connected my phone and it worked both times. I'm not sure what happens and why all of a sudden you lose it but at least it was an easy fix for me. I hope this helps.

I've had the same issue and this has also fixed it for me. I've had to do this multiple times. I guess I'll blame it on the MTP.

I haven't rooted my phone yet. I have reinstalled the drivers a few times. I am still having the issue. Should I just install the drivers, run odin and hope that it sees my phone?
I make the same post about my solution, not sure if it will work for you. I ditched all Samsung drivers and used the ones for the experia x8, it always connects now. But if you ever need to odin, you will have to install the Samsung ones. Maybe google them and see if they will work for you.

Are you using the usb cable that came with the phone? Also try different usb ports on your pc's I can't get my girlfriends laptop to recognize my phone and my desktop will only work if I use certain usb ports and the stock cable.
Tried all that. It happened the first day I got it, bone stock. Not a big deal, the x8 drivers get the job done.

I would make sure you don't have any other drivers installed from previous phones. I would uninstall drivers reboot PC then reinstall drivers and reboot again. Make sure phone is in mtp after you connect it to PC.

That is why you need to uninstall all drivers for phone,reboot, install drivers,reboot,plug phone in DO NOT let computer search windows update.Once you stop it from downloading from Microsoft it will load drivers you installed.
I just tried it again. deleted drivers and rebooted.
Installed Kies mini and rebooted.
I have had driver search turned off, but double checked and rebooted for safe measure and it still installed the the generic drivers.
deleted drivers and devices the way i know how and used the link above to make sure.
I even went in Deview and made sure that the any generic driver was gone as well.
Still getting the issue.
Any other suggestions.
I'm at a loss not
what am i missing.

Which version of windows are you running,if running 7 when you plug phone in after deleting etc.you should new device installer telling you it is installing your new device,then it will say click here to view progress. Click immediately, when that pops up at bottom of it is link saying do not search microsoft for updated drivers. it will ask if you are sure yes you are. Then it will search computer and use drivers from Kies

That did not work for me, but i did find this:
You can get the results above in Windows 7 Home Premium through the registry editor ... not going to tell you how to edit the registry... I'll assume you know how...
Add/update the following DWORD value in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions]
"DenyUnspecified"=dword:00000001
I had to manually add the "DeviceInstall" and "Restrictions" keys, then add the dword value "DenyUnspecified" and set it to 1.
To turn enable again, change DenyUnspecified to 0.
Now that i have stopped the automatic windows driver install, I thought i would be Ok but I'm still having issues with the proper infuse drivers. this just sucks odin will still not recognize my phone.
Ok any help.
I was able to stop windows 7 from installing the generic drivers by editing the registry, but the computer will not recognize the drivers from Samsung direct download or kies mini.
When doing a search to choose the driver windows 7 will not detect the drivers
I have tried the drivers from above, kies mini, kies, and samsung. no luck.
with the generic drivers it will still mount the storage cards no problem, adb works i just cant get odin or kies to work.

Sorry no luck here, I gave up on the process. I gave the phone away to some one that needed a phone and i know would not be doing any technical stuff to it.
