I'm having an issue playing music through USB on my Pioneer car stereo. I've tried mass storage and music player modes with USB debugging turned on and off with no luck. Any one else experience this?

I have the exact same problem. Still cannot figure out how to play music through USB port on my car stereo system. I was able to do this with my old Iphone 3G but not on Captivate. But I was able to stream music using Bluetooth feature on Captivate onto my car stereo system.
Did you mount the sdcards while in mass storage mode, just like hooking up to the computer. My Pioneer, and my JVC deck do it just fine, it treats them as a flash drive. The one that doesnt work is my first gen Sync system in my Focus.
I use an aux cable. Sound quality is just fine with my epic. I have a 5000watt system in my car controled threw my pioneer h/u

I have tried that also. I'm using Cognition Beta 6 if that helps.
Is your music on the external SD card?

No it is on the internal SD card
The best way to do this is to get an external microSD card and format it to FAT32. Car stereos only seem to recognize that file format. You probably want debugging off and the phone in mass storage mode while driving.

Needs to be on the external card for me.
Moving to external SD didn't help
yeh didn't use to work for me, but after putting an external card in the slot (sandisk 32gb) and updating to stock jh7 (not sure which one did it)
it works now. however only recognises the external card.
I think its a problem with something in the beta 2.2 firmwares. If I go back to 2.1 everything works if I go to any 2.2 variant it doesn't work. I guess its the price to pay for beta, but hopefully it gets resolved in the final revisions.
Hey All,
I just picked up my Captivate last night and have been fooling around with it ever since. The only problem I'm having is that I can't get my Macbook Pro to recognize the Captivate or the SD card (kind of huge since I had wanted to root).
I have tried USB debug mode and got it to recognize once when the external sd card was not in the phone, but since that one time it will not recognize.
I ran Disk Utility and can find the internal sd card there, but it is not being recognized on the Desktop or in DoubleTwist.
Any help would be appreciated!
Will
Moved to Captivate Q&A.
Please ask this question in the q&a section. This the development forum.

When you plug your phone into the usb pull down the notification window. There should be something that says mass storage. Click, select to mount. You should be able to see it then

i m having the same issue...
my phone mount with no problem to my imac and bootcamp xp and to my powermac g4, my macbook pro doesnt detect my phone at all, not even in system profiler, i dont get the network prefs, popup but my phone detects my macbook, connects and charge. running latest os 10.6
I am having the same issue and have followed every troubleshooting guide I could find online with no success getting my macbook to recognize the captivate. The only workaround I have use for the last few weeks is to transfer files via bluetooth exchange but this is a little inconvenient when transferring large movies or even a few albums at once as it takes so long. If anyone has any other suggestions they would be helpful.
Try enabling debug mode on your phone. Settings-Applications-Development-USB debugging.

Does anyone know how to recover deleted photos off the internal storage? I tried 6 different types of recovery software on my windows pc. None of them can see the phone since we don't have a sdcard.

Bumping this because I'm in a similar situation. I accidentally wiped my photos / videos when I activated the phone (clicked through the screens too fast and didn't know it was being formatted!). I can't seem to get the phone to show up as a drive when connecting via USB (just a "mobile device" with an option to drill down into files), which means I can't use tools like Wondershare or R-studio.
Any advice?
Connect to a PC as USB Storage and use a file recovery program to search the phone from the desktop.

the problem is that this phone connects via MTP and not as USB mass storage, so while you can easily move files to/from the device it cannot be recognized as a drive by your computer.
I think I found an answer in this thread, but I haven't yet tried it. Fingers crossed!
I'm in the same position.. although I backed up photos from the DCIM folder, wifey had made folders which apparently save to media folder so I've lost them..
Like other users I have had the same problem.. the internal storage doesn't show up as a drive and therefore not recognised by the software..
Any other suggestions? Don't want to root the phone..
I understand that it's all mounted internally so there is no sdcard partition, but is there anyway to transfer files directly over usb?
Airdroid works, but sometimes it's a pain when I just want to transfer something quick.
It's defaulted to on for me, just plug it in and your computer should automatically read it.
weird, when I plug it in, it doesn't show up.
Device Manager doesn't even refresh when I plug it in.
I was able to unlock it via adb, but it's now showing up as a Mass Storage Drive at all.
May need to install drivers.

I installed the x64 drivers from HTC so I could unlock the phone, but nothing else yet. Do you know what drivers are needed?

I just remembered seeing windows automatically install them. First couple of times, it said it failed to install. Tried later and opened the windows driver install window by clicking the bubble stating it's installing and watched it install them successfully.
You may need to turn off debug mode too though. I'm guessing you needed to turn that on to unlock.

hm.. debug mode is off, and just to test it, I plugged it into my work computer, which hasn't had any type of phone device plugged into it previously.
still nothing.
It doesn't mount as a mass storage device, per se. It's mounted as MTP.It won't show up as a drive Explorer, it will show up as a device: HTCONE. Hopefully you see that. In there, you'll see "Internal Storage" or something. Those are your files.

This is true. Windows lists it below your hard drives and disc drives in Computer.

You might try installing sync manager from the htc website which will load the drivers needed and then you can uninstall sync manager.

Is there anyway to mount this phone as a mass storage device?. My work computer is very limited and locked down. With previous Samsung and apple phones I was always able to plug into my work pc and transfer over pictures because is mount the phone. Now I am not able to do that.
Any suggestions?

I think the only reason you need sync manager is the htc driver for Windows to recognize the phone. When I plugged mine in without it, I got the notification "device not recognized" but with it it said "installing driver" which then let me explore it like a drive. I'm sure you could find the driver somewhere on xda though if you can't install sync manager I'm not sure if you could install an external driver...
You could always just do Bluetooth transfer no?

I don't think that will work. I just don't get why HTC has to be difficult with this....

Does the computer not have Bluetooth or something? I ask because I transferred pictures to my PC by Bluetooth last week so I know it can work.
A bit OT, but unless it was jailbroken no apple product will let you drag pictures onto it like a usb drive. So I'm assuming yours was in which case you can bypass the need for a driver. Anyway, how about Dropbox? I use that frequently too and it works great for pictures (or anything really). Plus you don't have to install anything on the PC.

Ever since JellyBean, I have not been able to mount any Android device as Mass Storage, plus I read it has to do with the JellyBean system itself rather than the device. So in short, no, you cannot, unless there's a third party application for that.

You can try AirDroid. Much faster than bluetooth

Sorry if I'm missing some trick to airdroid, but in the above post Op said they could only access one website on the computer - I. E. The phone can't be paired because the computer won't accept the airdroid website, and there may not even be an identical wifi network from the sounds of it anyway.

Hmm.. sounds like a tricky situation.. Maybe the OP can create an ad-hoc network from the cell phone and use that to transfer files? I'm not sure if it'll work never tried it, just thinking out loud?

Possible, though I really doubt the computer could connect to an ad hoc wifi network based on the info so far. Without bluetooth I think you're out of luck for file transfer on that computer with the One...Except of course the old awkward standby: email
its easy. just install the all the htc sync stuff. drivers and all. then uninstall htc sync. on my computer it left the htc drivers on the computer and when i plug in it recognizes as an HTC one media device and i can browse the internal memory as if i was on ES file manager
