How do u connect it to computer? I tried connecting it to the dock and the tablet nothing comes up in windows. I installed the asus pc suite and sync.
PC sync never worked for me even on my original tf! Never got it to work!
what I do is copy to an SD and then to the prime. But yeah same. Sync doesn't work even to the internal storage. I dont get it lol
It says to use an updated windows 7,mine well, "isn't" updated. Almost beta. What are you using?
When i connect my Prime via the usb cable a message pops up and i can access the internal storage and transfer files without any extra software.
I use win 7 x64 professional with all the latest patches, but no microsoft media player (read somewhere that you need it on win XP because of some missing protocol) and the 64gb version of the transformer with the ota update installed.
Make sure that you have the USB drivers from the Asus website. They are not included with the suite. They are on the same support page though.
I was only able to connect & transfer files to my Prime by doing a factory reset.In the process I lost the stock pictures that come with it.However this allowed me to transfer files after doing the reset.

Same here. Shows up as an mtp device in explorer and I can address internal and SD storage.
Try the drivers from Asus as suggested, especially if you have automatic updates disabled in windows for some rediculous reason.

what do u do with those drivers? It wasnt an exe so i didnt know what to do with them.
Are u connecting with the wire that it comes with the prime or the usb input on dock? Im using the wire that it came with, that should be able to connect right.

that's the only way to connect it, the usb port on the dock will not let you connect to a PC.
I dont know how to get it to work then ive connected it in every input and it doesnt do anything
If it's simply for transferring data between the PC and the Tablet try using ES File Explorer.
I have it installed on all my Tablets & Phones. I've never connected any of them to my Laptops via USB. I simply use ES File Explorer. Job done.

My device isn't recognized by my computer. Is the tablet supposed to prompt me to enable USB storage when it's plugged into a computer?
Nope...For me it just shows up in my computer..a new window doesnt pop up like it regularly does for new items inserted.
win xp didn't worked for me either - win 7 worked without any problems
I guess I'm not clear. When I had a rooted NOOKcolor (replaced stock ROM with a Gingerbread one), on the device itself would be a prompt to enable USB storage when it was plugged into a computer. This would appear in the notification bar at the bottom. Once I clicked yes/ok on the device, only then would it appear on my computer as a storage device. This doesn't happen with the Sony. I'm using a Mac.
So, those with a computer that recognizes the device, are you prompted on the tablet to enable USB storage or does it simply appear on your computer as a storage device with no prompting? Again, I'm not referring to your computer prompting you to do anything. I don't have another Honeycomb tablet to answer my own question. Thanks.
Honeycomb doesn't support USB mass storage. It uses MTP instead so things may work
a bit different than you expect. If you're on a Mac you need to download the Android file transfer program from google.

Thanks so much for the quick reply! Now I can stop scratching my head in bewilderment. Now I recall reading about Android file transfer program. I think I downloaded it months ago.
Yep, just checked my Downloads folder. It's been sitting here, never installed.
Anyone else having a problem with tablet not showing up on computer after ICS. Updated the tablet with Allinone version 4 without any problem but now i need to shift some pictures onto the computer. When i plug in the tablet nothing happens on either the pc or the tablet. Ive used 2 different cables and used 2 different computers but nothing shows up. Debug is on. As far as im aware this has only happened after the ICS rooted update.
I thought that by transferring the pictures over to the sd card would at least sort that out but now i read and tried that external card is being read as "read only". So cant transfer the pictures to sd card and computer not recognising the tablet, now what?
Any advise?

Your computer not recognizing your tablet sounds like an ADB driver problem, so you may have to reinstall the drivers. Condi's AIO Tweaks and Mods submenu items 12 and 11 will solve your problems with sdcard and sdcard2 write permissions and USB Mass Storage support so your computer can access your tablet's memory. Searching the forum about these problems will provide you with additional information on how to deal with them as they have been discussed several times.
Thanks for the reply. Its been so long since i initially setup the tablet. Correct me if I am wrong but when the tablet is connected to the computer the tablet should show up as sony s tablet, is that when the drivers need to be installed. Ive a shocking memory. Im starting to panic as ive documents that I have done in collage. Without the sd card transfering data to extenal in knackered.
So, if I plug the tablet in and NOTHING shows up either on tablet or pc, does that mean that the drivers need to be reinstalled?

Reinstalling the drivers is what other people have had to do to solve the problem you seem to have. For example, read this thread: ADB Issues after ICS update?
Thanks for your time and effort. I have seen this post when i was searchings for answers. Problem is that NOTHING happens when i plug the sony into the computer. Tablet does not acknowledge that debugging is available through the usb even though it is ticked on the tablet. The computer shows nothing either as the tablet has not got into communicating through usb. So to uninstall the drivers will be impossible until the pc recognises the tablet.

The computer is probably not recognizing or listing the tablet because the device drivers are borked. In Microsoft Windows, you can uninstall unlisted (unrecognized) devices by going into Device Manager, selecting "View" from the standard menu, selecting "Show hidden devices" (which should cause unlisted/unrecognized device names to be listed), then right-clicking on the device's name and selecting "Uninstall". After uninstalling the device, select "Action" from the standard menu, then select "Scan for hardware changes" to cause the computer to detect the tablet and prompt you to install the device drivers.

Have you tried a different computer or perhaps just a different USB port?
If it still doesn't work you can try using some form of wifi access to send files between your computer and prime. ES Files Explorer can see most windows shared drives.

Try a different USB port on your computer and try rebooting the PC. Otherwise you can try uninstalling the drivers from device manager.
Did all that but still doesn't work
Btw im running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
Using windows security essentials if any of that help

Hmm...I'm not sure to be honest. I've only plugged mine into a computer once just to root it. I didn't even check to see if I could access it's memory. I have Win7 x64 home premium. You can try the thread in Dev about drivers and see if those will install.

I run windows 7 64 and when plugged into the USB port, I open the "Computer" windows explorer window, and my prime is listed at the bottom under "Other" I believe.
However I did have a problem when I first got it, but it wasn't from the prime. I had had trouble a while with my iphone connecting to USB and not opening my photos because of an MTP driver. Had a similar problem when I got my prime, googled it and found a solution on how to fix it for people with other USB devices, and I tried it, and my prime showed up and I decided to check my iphone and the only other USB device I had trouble with, and all of my device to USB problems were solved by fixing that MTP error message.

Try this:
With the prime connected to the PC usb, in Win7 goto control panel, administrator tools, computer management, drive manager. This will show all disk drives and their drive letters. The prime should be there but it might be conflicting with one of your other drive letters, change the primes drive letter to z and try to access z drive with file manager. Good luck.
I checked the Samsung S3 on several occasions and could see the content of the sdcard0 (internal memory) and the removable SD card from the Windows Explorer on a desktop PC with Windows 7 using USB via the MTP protocol.
I did not download or delete anyting via USB.
I noticed both memories were a bit low on space and a few folders on the external card had files I could not understand, so I searched the Play Store for apps that would let me view details (like file and folder sizes) on the external sdcard. I used these apps to read the sdcard, but did not get any wiser.
I then obtained AirDroid from the Play Store and transferred files from S3 to the PC, but did not delete from or upload anything to the S3. AirDroid worked fine. I decided to use USB to delete S3 files a few days later. Before that I used the the PC for a couple days for reading online newspapers from Firefox, but did not do anything that should have changed the workings of the USB. There were a few Windows 7 updates (initiated at PC logoff) that progressed normally with no warnings about incompatible files etc. A few days later I noticed the USB connect to S3 had stopped working. For example I did not see the Auto-play dialog on the PC and nothing from the S3 showed in the Windows Explorer. I used the the USB data cable that came with the Samsung S3.
However, the the Windows Explorer USB connect still worked for a ZTE Blade III using the USB cable that came with the ZTE on the same PC.
Q1. how do I make Windows Explorer see the S3 again?
Q2. what may have been the cause? (can I download android apps or do something on the Windows 7 PC to help to pin-point the problem).

Q1. how do I make Windows Explorer see the S3 again?
Install Samsung USB drivers
jje
Thanks JJEgan,
What and from where should I download? The S3 USB connect was working for weeks. Could a faulty update from Microsoft have caused this? The S3 is not rooted.
I have downloaded from the Play Store that I assume contains well-behaved programs only, or are there play-store programs that are known to interfere with the USB by design/accident when they run. The PC Windows Explorer USB connect worked with the ZTE Blade 3 mobile after the S3 had gone wrong. If I install Samsung USB drivers is there a risk the ZTE USB connect would go wrong too/instead? I don't know what is required, so I might make the problem worse by downloading the wrong libraries or not doing it the right way.
Is there some program/app I can install on either the PC or Android that would pull in USB libraries and dependencies automatically, a bit like Synaptic package managers in Ubuntu?
I installed Windows XP 64 on my work computer and I can't connect properly with the data cable anymore. The computer recognizes the phone but it either thinks it's a camera or a media device, and the stupid windows default software that comes up for cameras or media devices doesn't let me just copy files from the computer to the phone's SD card like explorer. When I had XP 32 bit installed the data cable worked fine. How do I get the computer to recognize the phone as a generic device again or a gadget serial or whatever?
Try going to Samsung's website and downloading the drivers.

yes I know about that.
The explorer type interface came up correctly for a Vibrant last night. I didn't think that you had to install a separate driver for every different phone. Also works with Odin.
Device manager lists a samsung android adb interface as installed correctly.
The computer makes a device connect beep when I connect the i717.
But for whatever reason, when I connect the i717, I get a choice between accessing it as a camera or a media device in windows and either gets something that limits me to the DCIM folder or windows media player and neither one lets me put roms on the card. this looks like some kind of windows thing.
