Since yesterday, every attempt at transferring files onto the Galaxy S III results in the message "Cannot copy item (The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.)" Copying or moving files from the device onto the laptop works, the device itself is detected and visible despite the alert message. What would you suggest?
Are you on windows or linux ? linux MTP support has been buggy until very recently.
If this is not the problem, you can also try connecting with UMS (USB mass storage): see this thread.

When I hook my tablet up to the PC via USB, I get a drive letter in Windows. When I open that drive, there are files in there- however, I can't find where these files are on the tablet when I look there. There are folders in the PC view like Android, data, DCIM, Download, kindle, LOST.DIR, media, and .android_Secure and .HuffPost. However, these are not folders on my SD card (which would be /sdcard2) or my internal /SDcard folder. I've tried hunting and pecking through the tablet file structure and doing searches on the files in the folders, but I can't find where the location I see on the PC is on the tablet.
Any help? Big thanks in advance. I successfully rooted the tablet using the TNT_Lite ROM, and haven't noticed any other problems.
debug mode....
I've found the same...sort of. Sometime I get that it is in debug mode and I can't access file, and other times it does mount fine and I can access the files.
It's not that. When USB Debugging is on, I can't see the tablet in Windows.
Just to ask while waiting for a better answer- when everyone here connects their G tablet via USB to their PC, what area do they connect to?
Not sure if this is any different from Vegan's setup but I'm assuming it isn't.
The files and folders you listed when you connect your tablet to your pc via usb are in the "/sdcard" directory. On vegan tab at least, it is set up so that your internal memory (the 16 gb or whatever it is that is built into the tablet) is accessed through the folder /sdcard. What you may be confusing this with is either the /sdcard2, which would be an external microsd card, or the root ("/") directory of your tablet.
All of You,
Here is a link to a post I did that should help you:

I recently put the Vegan-tab V1.0.065.11 with the Cyanogen Mod kernel 2.6.32.32 on my new g Tablet. Prior to that time I was able to use my computer to load files as it saw my g Tablet as a storage device.
Now when I try to use the cable link between the computer and the tablet it recognizes it as a removable storage device but when trying to access the tablets file structure I get a windows pop-up that states "Please insert disk into drive F". I have tried this on two workstations both running XP with the same result.
I also am unable to read files on a memory stick. I had not tried this before I had switched to Vegan so I am unsure as to wither this was a problem prior to the switch.
There is no message on the tablet regarding the turning on of any service or the mounting of the USB device. Does anyone have any suggestions as how I can get these file transfer mediums working again?
I am having the same problem. It has worked fine for about two weeks and how I'm not getting the prompt either. The same thing happened with another ROM. I can connect fine with ADB. I am currently running VEGAn Gingerbread. The same problem happened when I was running AOSP Gingerbread. It happened after about five days with AOSP GB.
Same problem here - im using ginger edition
Are you guys turning on USB mass storage by selecting usb connected and then turn on?
That's the thing... after a period the prompt to turn on or off the USB storage stops displaying after a period. The only prompt that I see is for USB debugging, and turning that on or off has not affect on my ability to connect to the internal storage from multiple Windows boxes. The prompt was there last weekend, but it's gone now.
I have been trying to get my MAC to recognize my tablet as a mass storage device with NO success.
i have installed kies and within that application it does recognize my Galaxy and i can transfer media files but there is no option to transfer any other types of files.
i downloaded android file transfer but when i plug in device and run that application, my galaxy is not found.
The galaxy never shows up in my finder application.
Does anyone know a resolution to this? Samsung has no idea. I have called them a few times already,
You can't mount the Galaxy as a mass storage device to any machine - it simply doesn't support mass storage.
There are two methods for transferring files which it supports. One is MTP, one is Android Debug Bridge (ADB). I'm not sure which one Android File Transfer uses. If ADB, then you need to enable USB debugging. If not, well, it seems like the GTab's MTP support is pretty buggy.
Worst case, you can transfer files using ADB. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-faq/74089-how-setting-up-adb-mac-osx-your-droid-x.html has a MacOS ADB tutorial.
Hi guys
Since I lost the CID of my RAZR XT910, I'v been using Boot Menu Manager. There's one annoying problem has been always bugging me.
The contents of both internal and external storage are not being correctly shown on computer (Windows 7), no matter the device is connected as MTP or mass storage.
For example, I create a folder with file manager on the device and then connect phone to computer, this folder may not be displayed. It seems that the contents are cached on the computer and never get refreshed. This happens most of the time.
Everytime I transfer files I have to use a card reader, and this is very inconvenient.
Does anyone know if this is caused by Boot Menu Manager or there's something wrong with my computer system?
Thanks for any infomation in advance.
Hi.
I have my Galaxy S3 for some time now, and i want to transfer some music to my phone.
I have an SD Card with 64gb and of course, a computer
now what happens is that i start copying some music to my phone but after a few the phone simply disconnect and connect, which makes the file transfer very hard. (unless i'm gonna move song after song...)
Obviously this is not how the phone should work so this is why i am here.
Try Kies Air or Airdroid which are wireless transfers.

That happened to me too but only one time while transferring 5GB of music from my computer to my SD card so it wasn’t terrible. You can use the tools mentioned by sriram231092, or put your files on any of your clouds storage, then download them to your phone and transfer them to your SD card.
Edit: I found out reading Boeffla-Config Settings that if you have Boeffla Kernel, you can change the USB connection as UMS on demand, which simplify data transfer:

1.1 UMS Mode
Default: Off
Expected impact: Make external phone SD card available as drive on an USB-connected PC
With Android 4.x versions, Google decided to only use the MTP (media transfer protocol) for communication when you connect your device to a PC.
This prevents the memory to show up as a drive but only as a device.
By toggeling this checkbox, the external SD card gets unmounted internally (not accessible from the phone anymore) and the protocol is switched from MTP to UMS (usb mass storage) to make it appear as a normal USB drive on your PC. This simplifies data transfer a lot.
Please do not forget to untick this again after you finished using the connection, so it gets mounted and visible on your Android device again.
Note: When this does not properly work, it is most likely an issue with USB drivers installed on your PC.
