MacOS X does not natively support MTP (10.8.4) so for this to work you’ll need a driver or tool to communicate. Double click that drive to access the files. Double click it and you will likely see a drive appear called “Internal Storage”.
Under “Portable Devices” you’ll see your Android device. Open “My Computer” (or the Windows Explorer – which is not the same as the Internet explorer!). You will however not see all the Android folders – just the folders that are considered “safe” or media related. It’s seen as a media device which you can browse like any other drive. Windows 7 and 8 recognize your phone or table right away as a “Portable Device”, and will often install a driver automatically. Open “ My Computer” and see if your device now appears under “ Other“. Reconnect you Android again, which will automatically install the default drivers.ħ. Now unplug the cable of your Android device and count to 5.Ħ. Right click the entry and then select “ Uninstall“.ĥ. Look for the entry corresponding to Android device (for example “Nexus 7”) – it will probably have a yellow exclamation mark.Ĥ. Right click on “ My Computer” “ Device Manager“.ģ. Connect your Android device to your PC via USB.Ģ.If after installing Windows Media Player 11, you still do not see you Android device appear, then try these steps:
With my Asus Nexus 7, I encountered some issues getting the connection to work. When double clicking your device, you will likely see a drive appear called “Internal Storage”. Open “My Computer” and look under the “Other” group where you should see your Android device. Once Windows Media Player is installed, plugin the USB cable of your Android device and you should be good to go. No additional drivers should be needed – so don’t install them, as they typically interfere with the proper working of the MTP drivers! Since Windows XP is “old”, XP does not come with the proper MTP drivers, for this we need to first install the latest Windows Media Player, which for Windows XP is version 11 ( get it here for free). I know Windows XP is “old”, but hey, it makes for a fast and responsive OS even on old hardware or in a virtual machine. Obviously for Windows this should not a problem … Windows XP MTP is a protocol that finds it roots with those guys from Redmond – Microsoft.
Some of these versions allow you to set “USB Storage” under Settings Storage Menu Button USB Settings. More recent 4.x versions no longer support this, unless the manufacturer customized their Android version to support this anyway. Some of the earlier and/or custom Android 4.x versions might still offer the USB Mass Storage option which in some ocassions means that you have to enable the USB Debugging mode in the developer settings of your device.
