Inability to copy files to \Windows

Hi, I have a somewhat odd problem. I'm trying to change the sound of the alarm on my phone (I've read all the threads on it, I know how to do it).
However, when copying files from my computer to the device's \Windows, everything appears to copy fine, and then... they just aren't there.
I have attempted this from both my Mac and from an XP machine and I get the same result both times.
Is there something I could be overlooking?
Oh, and it's WM6.1.

try copying to your storage card and then using the phone to copy to windows. It sounds pretty weird to me though.

Could it be that you need to display hidden/system files by enabling this option in your file explorer?

Help copying files to the windows directory

whenever i try and drag files into the windows directory on the HTC Diamond Touch i get an error saying i do not have permission to place the files in that directory. how do i get around it?

I had the same, when trying to do the file operation on my PC (using windows explorer with the Diamond connected via USB). When I copied the files on the Diamond directly, using the win mobile file explorer, it worked fine.

[Q] Can't transfer .wmv files using USB - different file system?

Hello. I am now running Darkys ROM 8.1. Its the first time since upgrading I've tried transferring anything via USB. I notice that in windows I can't create a new folder on the ext sd card, nor access the existing folders, in fact they appear in windows (xp) with no icon or file assocation. Is it the file system used in the darkys rom that windows cannot recognise? .flv and .mpg files will transfer but when I try any other formats windows explorer says it may not be copied, may not exist or may be in use by another program.
Is this a setting in darkys I need to change? Has anyone seen this problem before? Can anyone help please

I found the answer thanks. Posting this for those who might have the same problem. I installed the Kies V2 on my win7 64bit laptop, and the file system on the phone can be seen now and file transfers can be done ok now.
It is either issues with Kies 1.5 or problems with my other pc after a hardware install.

Not all files/folders appear when connected with USB

Hi all,
I just started playing with my Nexus over the last couple of days. Using Astro I made some directories in /storage/sdcard0. When I mount the Nexus onto my Windows 7 laptop I don't see the directories created using Astro. Anyone experience this? If so, any idea how to get everything to appear?
Thanks,
-Gary

Try rebooting the tablet.

Same issue here. In order to see the files I've dropped onto the tablet, I have to use a file explorer. Bummed I can't drop epubs into an eBook folder or drop them into my Google books folder and read them in Google books.
Once I open the file in the file explorer,I can open the file with the kindle app.

I'm trying to create a folder on my N7 to use with MobileNoter. I got an app called Android File Manager and created a folder, but when I connect to my Win7 PC I see all the folders except the one I created. On the PC the folders are under "Nexus>Internal Storage" and in on the N7 AFM they are under "/storage/sdcard0".
Anybody know how to make a new folder on the N7 that I can get to on my PC? I've verified that I have the latest USB driver (mentioned in another thread) and I've rebboted
Thanks in advance for any help.

You're going to have to reboot the tablet or unplug then replug most likely. I had the same issue when managing my nandroids and a tablet reboot fixed them normally.
I believe it's an issue with the MTP protocal truthfully.

I rebooted my Nexus and I now can see the new folder in Windows Explorer (and copy files to it.) Still can't create folders however.

Same problem here. I just drop everything in the downloads folder and then move them around with root explorer

I cannot see files/folders in sdcard on computer, but can see them in rootexplorer.

Hello,
I'm currently running Benzo Rom, for some reason whenever I create a file/folder in rootexplorer in "/sdcard" for example, I can't see it on my computer when viewing through windows explorer, but I can see it clearly on my device. What gives?
(Running Windows 7)

.....
PC driver in Windows 10 not signed.

I faced the same issue. I found the reason as MTP bug. Anyways rename the file to something else(change a letter or so) later it should display in windows.

I should clarify that I am on windows 7, not 10. Also How does renaming the file to something else fix it? That doesn't solve the issue if I have to rename a new file/folder every single time I create it..

I've ran into the same situation, both for files I've created and for files created by an app and the only way I've been able to see them on my computer is to either rename them or move them to a different directory. Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear but I haven't figured out or heard of any other solution.
