yes i have im not sure as to why my phone is doing that
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.

Hey Guys,
I cant seem to be able to access the N5 as a media device on windows 8.1.. just wondering if anyone got it working?
I've tried searching around and tried a few things like trying to download MTP drivers from Nexus 7 but nothing seems to work.

Same for me.. Windows 7 here.
works fine on 8.1 here
Oddly enough, I have no issues on my Windows 8.1 Desktop but on my 8.1 laptop, it doesn't work at all. Both we're upgraded from 8.0, no fresh install. Both worked before. Obviously something more to it than just Windows 8.1
It shows "Google Nexus ADB Interface" even when I disabled USB Debugging.

This is the driver I installed on my Win 8.1 machine and also a Win XP machine. Both work for adb/fastboot and for storage access.

PC says it's the same like I have installed.
Plug the Nexus 5 into your computer with the USB cable.
Open Device Manager.
Find "Android Device" near the top and expand the node. Double click on "Android Composite ADB Interface".
In the properties window that pops up, uninstall and delete the current driver.
Unplug your Nexus 5 and plug it back in.

Try putting your phone back to usb debug mode and then from device manager uninstall the Google Nexus ADB Interface. Then at the top under actions click scan for hardware changes and try to install the driver again when it finds the device. I know i had to do this on mine.

Thanks, it helped halfways. It can't find drivers for Nexus 5 and MTP.
EDIT: Deactivated USB-Debugging and it worked! Thanks!
I´m looking for mass storage mode.
All I was able to do was to get working ADB mode and MTP mode. Totally easy....but whatever I do....no mass storage mode?!
Where did you read that? Google suppressed the mass storage mode with jb, since 'internal sdcard' is merely a folder of data partition mounted as a virtual vfat disk through fuse.
I can't imagine they suppressed a feature from android filesystem setup to introduce it back on a single flagship device.
And even if I'm not dev, every dev questioned about this said it's impossible with this filesystem setup. It would be only possible with a separate partition, (like on my sgs3) with external sdcard for example.
i have an original 8.1 and an win8 upgraded to 8.1...
i cant install it on both machines
tried with usb debugging on and off. i can see the device, but i cant install it. only adb drivers. but i want to use USB storage (MTP)
kinda embarassing: good old windows xp, running on a 10+ year old laptop performs perfectly fine-.-
Thanks for the help.. got the ADB installed but when in debugg mode MTP comes up but wont install drivers for it.. when debug is off MTP doesnt sho in device manager.. i just want to get MTP working

You're welcome , just glad i could be of assistance.
Regards.
it still doesnt work for me...the only device it works on is my pre-stoneage-laptop...so eerytime i want to transfer something i first have to put it on my laptop, and then on the N5....
cant somebody just kinda copy and paste their drivers? If thats possible i need Win 8.1 Pro N x64
Hi guys. I just rooted my nexus 5 and i used USBDview to uninstall all previous drivers as was stated in Wugs Toolit. Now whenever i connect my phone to the usb port.. it just says "this device can perform faster...." and thats it. I can't see the nexus device in My Computer or devices. i want to transfer files but i can't. please help!
I guess you rebooted PC. Then tried again. Can your device still interact with the toolkit? You removed drivers BEFORE rooting? Have you tried deselecting USB debugging (shouldn't be necessary) to see if you get access? I'm sure others who have had similar problems will help. In the meantime, you can transfer files using the network component on a file manager. I use Estrong but have used File Expert and Ghost Commander as well as Astro File.

Yupp i tried rebooting removed drivers, reinstalled etc. Even my Nexus 4 isn't detecting now lol! the MTP doesn't detect but PTP the camera interface works. Which is weird. I tried putting usb debugging on and off. Nothing helps.
I tried using another PC, and it works. Something messed up with my laptop i guess? Any solution.. other flash drives get detected but not the nexus.

Device Manager Says Samsung Galaxy Android Hone and under it Android ADB Device or something like that..
It doesn't say Nexus 5!
Exact same issue with my Nexus 5 and my VAIO Pro 13. Can't figure out what to do to make it works. Even tried reinstalling windows from scratch. No luck.
I just got my Nexus 5 today, and I am trying to put things on the internal memory of the phone. However everytime I plug it in to install the drivers automatically, it says an error occurred during installation, and kicks me back out, and refuses to work. I use Windows XP still, 32 bit, and it asks me to search the web etc for hardware, and it never finds anything.
Does anyone know how to connect this thing? :'( I tried on my Windows 7 laptop too and same problem, except this time it worked as an SD card, but in the bootloader to root the phone it fails to install?
Google universal naked usb drivers. Try those

I managed to finally get my USB and camera to "install successfully" but no matter how long I wait, the storage never comes up.
:'( what is the problem?? All other phones they just install and are ready to go. This is my main Windows XP PC btw.
The mtp divers on xp can be a pain.. have a search for a thread that is somewhere on here, it covers most of the problems on xp

I have a Windows XP PC too and have MTP working. Try doing the following to get it working - Update windows media player to 10 or higher, install the mtppk12 = MTP porting kit and install the Microsoft user mode drivers for MTP. These should get you going.
That's way too much work. Just search for drivers in the N5 threads. I had the same problem, there's a universal driver like the person above said.

Hi Guys,
I had a rooted 4.4.2 device, when I got the the 4.4.3 upgrade and I think that from then I cannot see my device on my laptop.
(I am not sure of that because I CAN see it on my work desktop...)
Anyway, whatever I do - I get the following results:
1. Device manager shows me under the "Portable Devices" the brance F:\
2. When I try to install new ADB drivers, it tells me that "WPD fileSystem volume driver" is the best for me...
Storage usb connection setting is set to be MTP.
Meanwhile, I cannot see my nexus 5 files on my laptop
Please assist, Thanks!!!

Delete the device in device manager and then let it find it again.

If you mean to uninstall it, then I did it couple of times, and now again when the device was disconnected. Then I reconnected the device to the USB port, and scanned the deice manager for changes.
I got the same result - see attachement.
Delete then reboot both devices. Connect phone again. If same, delete device and reboot phone whilst still connected
If that fails, delete and use "universal naked driver"

Never seen that before. Your drivers obviously aren't set up right. Google 15 second adb drivers xda and use that to install the drivers. It'll also set up adb/fastboot which you may or may not need. It gives you the option

Are you trying to use ADB mode? If so, and it's not recognizing the device, try using ADB Driver Installer. It worked for me.

I had a similar issue. In order to get my Windows 7 laptop to recognize my N5, I first turned off USB Degugging then connected my N5 to the laptop. Then it showed up.

It's supposed to work fine even with it on, at least it did when I had it on. Tested on Win 7, 8, 8.1 and 8.1U1 lol. I never had any issues with USB ever.
Or use Linux, it'll work right away..
It's not set to Camera (PTP) instead of Media Device (MTP) ?
Case Status
Guys.
Thank you all for your kind help.
I tried at least most of your advises - but there were no joy...
I think that the best I should do now is somehow clean up my system from old drivers and related installations.
So, taking aside the option of reinstalling windows, can you share with me some procedures that will enable me to get rid of all old drivers and files and to reach a state of a clean system, so I can then start reinstalling the drivers again?
Thanks a lot!
Well... here is the solution!!!!

I have similar problems, and as many times as ive tried to uninstall and reinstall i cannot access it from my 1 laptop. However, another laptop connects fine to it- even though i used the same drivers on both laptops. thats the only way i was able to get it to work for me.
