How do you view the contents and folders inside? Kies is absolutely useless software, and Windows 7 can't seem to figure out what it is either. Specifically, how do you add music/video on it without using Kies or that Tunesync app with iTunes?
When I change the USB Connection to Mass Storage Device, Windows can't recognize the device, and nothing shows up.
EDIT: Had to change the connection to Media Player... odd.

I have a desktop computer with Windows 7 Professional. I connect my Nexus One via USB and it shows up in Device Manager under Portable Devices. I open Windows Media Player, click the Sync tab, and my Nexus One shows up as a connected device. I can add playlists, songs, etc to the list and sync it to the phone.
On my laptop, running Windows 7 Home Ultimate, when I connect the N1 to it, it does not show up in Device Manager as a Portable Device. It shows up as a Disk Drive. So when I open Media Player, the Sync tab does not show it.
I tried downloading the 2.2 SDK with the USB r3 drivers. However, when I add the ADB drivers, it shows up as a HTC Dream. The only other option in there is Android ADB Interface. If I right click and update driver, it installs the HTC Dream drivers and puts the ! by it as it is not connected.
Why is it, that my desktop, which I've loaded 0 drivers, can see the N1 as a Portable Device to sync to media player, by my laptop cannot even with the USB r3 drivers?
Desktop is a Dell Optiplex 760 and laptop is a Sony Vaio VGN-FW285J.
Hi All,
having had my Galaxy S for a few weeks now I am still struggling to find an itunes/ipod equivalent. I really would like to get rid of iTunes but it made using the iPhone as an iPod very easy.
I drive a lot and listen predominantly to tech podcasts and audio books. Audio books are nicely taken care of with the audible app. I don't want to download podcasts on the Galaxy, because I want to keep some podcasts and that is easier to manage on the PC. I want to be able to sync my phone and automatically get a playlist of podcasts I haven't listened to yet.
So, I have been experimenting with MediaMonkey, Winamp, DoubleTwist, and The Missing Sync.
What I have noticed is that if I connect the Galaxy to a VmWare XP Virtual Machine all the programs work fine, but natively on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, I get odd behaviour:
Winamp, DoubleTwist, and the Missing Sync all will not recognize that I have connected the Galaxy. Yes it is in Mass storage mode, yes I have mounted the phone, yes I can see the drives in explorer and happily drag files to and from both the internal storage and the SD card.
Is anyone successfully using any of these applications with a 64 bit version of Windows 7?
Or has anyone had similar problems?
Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible to watch video files that are stored on my computer? I know you can do it in reverse through allshare, but i can't find any instructions on how to do it from computer to phone.
Basically i have windows xp, and some video films on my desktop in the "My Documents" folder. I want to basically hook my phone up to the wifi, and browse my "My Documents" folder, like i can do with my laptop and other computers connected to my router.
Anyone know how to do this. Have checked everywhere else and been unable to find a solution, maybe i missed it, but they all give instructions to do it in reverse.
thanks
Searh for cifs here on forum..and Then get cifs manager from market..

I am on a mac and I can not get it to see my TAB 8.9. the Keis??? what ever program that Samsung has for other tabs does not work.
How can I copy files to the TAB.
try using airdroid on your tab or swiftp.
There's a problem with Macs recognising Samsung devices... I can transfer files between my Win 7 laptop and my 8.9 with no problem but when I try to do it on my iMac it just never gets recognised as a storage medium.
If you're transferring music, photos etc. you can download Kies which synchronises media wirelessly, iTunes style.
If you're transferring other files such as APKs I'd recommend getting dropbox, putting your files into your dropbox on your Mac and then downloading them to your tab through the dropbox app.

Bump..! Anyone ?
In my opinion, the best way to access files of your PC is to share your folders on the PC and mount them on your phone through CIFS. This is the most natural way, just like you'd do it between PCs.
CifsManager makes this pretty easy. You just need to enter the path to your PC share, user name and password, and where you what the share to be mounted on your phone's file system. Then you can mount and unmount the share with a singe click, and access all the files from the PC just if they were local files.
Note: The phone needs to be rooted though. And there is a bug in android kernel 3.4.0, which makes it hard to get CIFS working. ("Invalid argument" error, even if you enter everything correctly). Let us know if you run into that problem.
