So I got my tab today. But Win 7 x64 (i have 3 machines with x64 and none with x86 at home) doesnt recognize the device.
There are no drivers in the manager and nothing happens when i choose Kies on the galaxys usb connection menu.
Kies does see that the device is in storage mode, but if i change it to kies connect windows doesnt even give me the plug and play sound. Nothing.
EDIT:
The trouble was the non-stock launcher
Heres what to do if youre having troubles:
1. download Home Switcher from Market and set it to Touchwiz launcher
2. connect to Kies (im using 1.5.3.10092_58_8)
Proceed to root and enjoy!
I have the same problem but your solution does not work for me.
Well that's weird, I have a notebook with Windows 7 x64 and apparently the latest official version of Kies, haven't had a single problem for the Galaxy Tab to be recognized...
I'm not sure which version number I have: I have downloaded Kies on samsung.de, then after the installation I was prompted that an update was available, so I have installed the update of Kies.
Then I have connected the Tab to my computer in Kies mode, the drivers have automatically installed, and Kies recognized my device directly...
Same problem
running on vista 32 the phone isnt didectable trying to unistall the usb drivers and install another recommended one then will sea
Didn't work for me either. Also, btw. Kies is complete crap and does really intrusive stuff. Tmobile garbage apps permanently installed on the device, etc. I don't think I'll ever really understand what the product people think at these companies.
Rant over.
Anybody working on a root that's a little more direct?
Weird. Kies kept saying it didn't recognize the device, but the root app appears to have worked. Need to try an actual root thing to see if its for real.
Whoops. spoke too soon. Didn't actually root.
So just to be sure. It is ok to use Win7 x64 for Kies general use and more importantly to do any future software upgrades?
Its just that win7 is not a supported OS.

I've been using it just fine with Win7 x64 for the last six months or so, for my Galaxy S devices, give or take the usual Kies bull**** that will happen on any OS.
Thanks. I see they just released new software which supports Win7.

Fixed! - Cannot install MTP USB driver
I had a problem when I plugged in my SGT in Kies mode for the first time the MTP driver failed to install and gave an error. Then Kies could not see the Tab.
Fixed it by uninstalling Kies, upgrading Windows Media player to latest version then re-installing Kies.
Read it in a forum somewhere and it worked first time.
Hope it helps someone else
In Ontario Canada with a Bell Galaxy Tab
And... none of the above solutions have worked for me... any other suggestions?
GREAT!!!with this trick finally i can connect my tab to the notebook!!thanks a lot...
I tried to unistall kies,reinstall kies,uninstall driver, reinstall driver, .........
but never Kies recognized my SGT.
But finally I've solved in this way:
- Disable usb debug mode
- Set usb to kies mode
- Lock the screen <-- very important step.If I don't do this, kies doesn't recognize my Tab
- Connect Tab via USB to my Win7 64Bit
- Start Kies
For reference:
I've a SGT rooted and latest version of Kies (2.xxxx).
Hope it helps someone else

How do you set it to kies mode?
Simply, on SGT, go to Settings Menu
tap on wireless --> Usb and then select Kies.
thanks @limonxda, but your suggestion didn't work for me. KIES still doesn't recognize my Tab.
Does anyone have any more suggestions?
I have a verizon GTAB and they seem to have removed the KIES Mode from the selection.
I guess they want us to use their VCast software only.
I ended up fpashing my tab with roto fw and now it connects to kies just fine.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to say thanks for your posting here. I was having trouble getting Kies to recognise my Galaxy Tab. However, after switching back to the Samsung Launcher from LauncherPro, it has recognised my Tab and is installing some large firmware update (hopefully Gingerbread!).
Of course, it would be nice if it told me more specifically what it was updating....
EDIT: Scratch that. An hour of firmware updating and I still seem to be running 2.2. Or specifically, the cryptic firmware version from Kies is:
PDA:JJ7 / PHONE:JK5 / CSC:JJ5 (CPW)
Hi,
I have a problem connecting my phone to Samsung KIES. My phone is Galaxy S I9000 running Android 2.2. My PC is runnning windows 7 x64 and the latest KIES version 2.0.0.11032_12. When I connect my phone to PC, phone's screen shows that it is ready to connect with KIES. PC founds the divice as a memory card. But when I turn on KIES it only shows 'Connecting...' but it never really connects. Moreover, when phone is in DOWNLOAD mode even ODIN cannot connect.
Maybe someone had a similar problem or has an idea how it could be solved. It would be very helpful.

Believe me I did. I have tried solutions that i have found in this forum and what i have found in Google. However, nothing helped. There are many different cases in this situation and I hope that I have missed something or at least some one could tell me is this my PC's problem or phone's
kies is a buggy program & this shows more on win7 x64 which is very particular about the driver behavior, I just lost phone connection & now cant get it to connect.
+1 I have a quad-core running W7x64 and Kies takes about 30 seconds just to load. It's so ridiculously slow and has only ever detected my phone twice.
Hopefully you can find a 32-bit laptop or PC to use temporarily.
As an aside... a VM such as XP Mode may help as you could install XP 32-bit and connect the USB through to the VM guest? Unsure if this would help so may be useless advice
The latest Kies loads and finds phone on my X64 but did not before .

I just want to know how to get into this "PC Studio" mode Kies mentions everytime I start it up. Its really ticking me off cuz I want to get the latest firmware on there but I can't seem to figure out how....
Download latest Kies from Samsung .
Connect phone using Kies mode selected on phone .
Connection fails its worth setting phone to USB mass storage mode and let the drivers install .
Tools Firmware upgrade . PC Studio nothing to do with firmware upgrade its an older version of Kies type software .
Android 2.2 next upgrade was 2.2.1 but not all network phone providers have updated to 2.2.1 as most are waiting for the release of 2.3 .So dont go looking for 2.3 its not on the servers .

Hi, I had the same problem, in another forum someone said start kies on your PC and then plug your usb in, it worked for me.
First of all, hi to everyone !
As my thread say, I have a problem connecting I9000 to Samsung Kies.
Yesterday night I decided to install on a sgs a new ROM. So first of all the owner ask me to make a backup but with Kies, everything was ok.
Next step was to root the phone using Odin, the step was a succes and after that I made a factory reset and install Tiramisu EVO Summer Edition 6.7 (2.3.4 JVR).
After all (root, install, etc) I try to connect the phone to Samsung Kies and I have the surprise that the phone was recognise by windows, I can browse all files, but I cannot connect with Kies, so first step was to reinstall all Kies drivers and all android, usb, etc drivers.
After 2 hours of installing drivers and a lot of trys I have no positive result but a .SBU file that i search on xda and google and found no alternative soft to open this kind of file. So I am here, looking for some answers between sgs owners who meet too the same issue.
I want to mention that this is not my fist ROM update, but it's the first time I cannot connect to Kies at all !
Any answer it's welcome
Have you set the usb setting to Kies instead of mass storage?

this was the first thing I check it.
I want to mention that on my ex sgs I had Tiramisu too, and it was able to connect. So dono what to say ...
any sugestions? stii no connection ...
After I try a lot of times to connect the I9000 to Kies still no positive result.
So my second plan was to copy all ( contacts, photos, music and videos ) to my i9100 by Kies, after that I put the usb to mass storage and copy all frome I9100 to my laptop and than to i9000.
Conclusion : Kies suck !
Thread closed by my side, problem solved. thanx !
i need to know how to do this! all my backups r on kies
try to reinstall the kies
Alternative to Kies
Contacts: save & sync with Google account, never use phone
Photos: save to external sdcard
Apps: use market app AppBrain
Appointments/calendar: sync with Google account, setup Hotmail as Exchange mail
The Samsung USB drivers are available without installing Kies:

I usually have USB mass storage + USB debugging enabled all the time, and SGS function like an USB stick when connecting to Windows.
Thx for reading, press THANKS if u like
I just got my Note last week. I am trying to sync my phone to laptop. But somehow, it gets stuck on "connecting". Any tips or other alternatives? Thanks in advance. I plan on rooting my phone. Thats why I need to back up my phone first. Thanks in advance!
What OS are you using? Did you install the USB drivers?
Windows. Yes I in stalled it. But somehow it says that its not properly installed. And problems may occur. I dont know the reason. I tried, reinstalling it, but still same problem. Can I sync it wirelessly?
Hi.
I had the same problem, but it worked after I unchecked the USB Debugging.
Regards
Your problem is most probably the usb debugging uncheck it and your phone is in kiesmode

Try uninstalling, downloading from the country website your phone is from. Or your csc is from. Download from the N7000 page kies. Then install and run as admin. If it doesnt connect perform the connection wizard, or connection troubleshooting. that will reinstall drivers. These steps work for me everytime.

Do a software update over wifi for your phone and downdload the latest kies from official website.

Sorry if this is a stupid answer but I was having a lot of trouble connecting my note to the PC. I was using a cable I used for all my phones that worked fine. Someone told me to try it with the cable Samsung supplied and after that it all worked fine. I just thought it might be worth trying.

Kies Air doesn't do that. The main (PC) KIES app does. But, even if you connect through KIES, it will only allow you to back up things like contacts, photos, ringtones etc. It won't be a full backup of your system.
What can help if KIES doesn't see your phone:
1. Installing the latest version of KIES (which you already did)
2. Making sure your phone is in the MTP (not USB memory) mode. It should be as a default, unless you actually click on "USB memory" button when connecting to PC
3. Unchecking "USB debugging"
4. Running the connection repair wizard in KIES (I have a local language version, so I don't know the exact English name) - this reinstalls drivers - and then connecting again.
5. Trying a different USB port or cable
6. Rebooting both the phone and computer
If all fails, then probably this is a problem with Windows drivers. Repairing this would require a bit of expertise and involves booting Windows in safe mode, checking which devices and drivers are actually installed and removing any that seem suspicious. If you have never done that, an easier option would be installing KIES on another computer and doing the backup there.
Theoretically, running the connection repair wizard in KIES should clean and reinstall the right drivers for your phone, but in practice this doesn't always work as it should.
I turned off usb debugging, but the mass storage I can't turn off: I have to choose between MTP and PTP.
I upgraded Kies to the latsest version, unfortunately no connection.
I tried Kies via Wifi and it works, fine for me.
BUT I prefer Kies via USB. Is there anybody else with the same problem and can help me?
Neither works for me.
Waiting for solution.

Were you able to connect to Kies? I can't. I am not talking about USB mass storage mode, but I want to connect PC Kies with my phone and ever since LPY upgrade I can't. I have stock rom, no root and CWM or anything like that. The PC finds the device GT-N7000, and it works fine in explorer, but Kies can not connect to the phone. It stays in connecting and then it says that there was an error connecting to the device.
Anyone else with LPY that can not connect to Kies for PC?

Me the OP
I am also unable to connect to KIES since performing the ICS update ( via mobile Odin ). I tried USB debug on or off and also Wireless and Network settings different combinations... no go...
Waiting for ideas..
I have just updated Kies and apparently is working.
Date of update appears to be today, 14/05/2012, version 2.3.1.12044_18.
I only use kies to make backups and restore them, but this software is somewhat buggy.

I have exactly the same version of Kies and I can not connect to it with USB cable.
I removed my version of Kies (version 2.3.1.12044_18) and restarded my computer.
After this I re-downloaded Kies (version 2.3.1.12044_18) and installed it today.
Unfortunately....
I don't understand that some can connect to Kies and some not. I hope there will be an explanation.

I have a solution:
Flash it with [ROM] RocketROM v4.1 - ICS - LPY [Update 06/06] - 15 Toggle / Dark Theme / CRT Off fix + Speedmod kernel
After this I can connect via USB to Kies. Good luck!
I responded to an other thread here which has a similar situation as you have...
anyway, what you should do is completely uninstall kies.. when I say completely, I mean removing it thru the registries (of your computer), folders in Program files or Program files x 86... After removing it, reinstall it again, uncheck and recheck usb debugging in your Phone's settings.
Check if Kies will recognize your phone after... It may take a bit while.. but it will I'm sure, also unplug and re-plug your USB cable to different usb ports on your computer and check which one will automatically connect and detect with your phone.
If your using a PC, it's advisable you plug your phone at the back of your PC (where I think there's a USB port in there), it gives a much stronger signal than the one at the front of your tower or desktop.
Hope this helps...
