i also noticed whenever i open kies the mtp app says initializing and it seems it keeps restarting

Have you downloaded the drivers from Samsung?

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.

worked for me..do you have VMWARE or anything installed? if so make sure you open it up and disable the USB ports..

You have set your phone in USB mass storage mode, right ? Works without problems here ...

Did you ever get this working? I have tried with USB debugging off and on, tried all the options under the default connection type. What else can I do to get this to connect to my Mac? I don't see anything that is labeled "MASS USB STORAGE".

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.

[Q] HTC One X AT&T/Computer doesn't recognize phone

I have question.
I transferred everything to my sd card, there was a function to choose from my phone settings. Afterwards I connected my phone to my computer- which was always detected by my computer without a problem-to clean out some cache files from game folders, using total commander. While I was deleting the cache files I believe I accidentally deleted the sd card folder on my computer (which was associated with my phone.) I know this sounds kind of strange, but I do not have root access or any rights to deleting system files from my phone since my phone is locked because I have a contract with at&t. Now after resetting my phone 3 times, my computer fails to recognize my phone when I plug it in. When I plug my phone in, it charges but it is not recognized on my or any other computer for that matter. My computer states that there is an unknown device but not recognizing it as my htc. I located the unknown device on the device manager and installed all the drivers requested of me from the htc device sync manager folder and that still did not work. I have contacted htc directly and I have contacted at&t. They were not able to offer anything beyond doing another factory reset, which I have already done 3 times.
So my question, is there anything I can do? My phone works and charges it is just not recognized by my computer anymore and I cannot add music or anything. Since my warranty is up should I just unlock my phone and install the new android version? Any help or tips would be appreciated.

Have you tried uninstalling the drivers and then plugging the phone in

A Ubuntu or any other LINUX OS may recognize SD CARD... Give it a try!
btw when you connect it and i assume you have Windows does it even show a semi transparent icon of Removable Storage?

1.What OS are you using on the computer?
2. Do you receive any sort of error messages from the cpu?
I have heard of corrupted or missing usb INF files on computers causing this exact same issue.

1. Windows 7
2. No report errors about that. Computer says: "unknown device" and that is all. I located the unknown device on the device manager and installed all the drivers requested of me from the htc device sync manager folder and that still did not work.

Since you don't have root access I'm assuming you do t have supercid or s-off. You could run the RUU. It will completely wipe and restore your phone to an original state. See the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Scroll down and you will find a link for HTC OTAs and RUUs.
Or , as you mentioned at the end of your OP, you could just root your phone and install a custom Rom.
I hope I've helped in some way.

What exactly did you try?
Set the usb connection as mtp?
enable usb debugging?
Tried another cable?
If you're just wanting to transfer files, you can use a wifi transfer app where you access the phone through a web browser once the wifi app is started on the phone.

If you got your phone locked with a swipe, pin or password, you need to unlock it first
