Htc sync works, but not connect as drive

I'm rather puzzled by this problem with my windows 7 laptop. Htc sync recognizes the Desire and connects (though with problems, see my other post). But the option of showing the sd card as a drive isn't available on either the phone or the computer. Is it a question of drivers? If so, where do I find one that works?
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Have you got the latest HTC syc installed?
Working on Win 7 32bit for me. Haven't tried ot on 64bit but also haven't seen anything to suggest it doesn't.
I assume you are also using the USB cable that came with it and not a different one which may only be a charge cable.

Hi i had this problem, you have to uninstall the HTC drivers from programs and let windows install via update. HTC drivers/software are poor!

htc sync works
I haven't been using the htc cable but will try it. Also will try uninstalling drivers...
Ta,

I have the same problem: I installed HTC sync (the newer version from HTC's web site) and everything works fine with synching between Outlook and the Desire. During this process I also see the new removable drive.
But, If I only mount the SD card as a hard drive nothing shows us and I have no access.
I am using the original HTC cable and as I said the synching works just fine, just not the mounting as a removable drive to gain just file access.

[Q] HTC Sync 3.0 - FDHttpd.apk / FDH16ttpd.apk

Hi,
this evening I had an update of HTC Sync to 3.0. Everything worke well, however, in the "Device Panel" I do not see information about the SD card (in the first instance Sync let me know that my phone had no SD card at all!). nor can I sync data from the card.
On the panel, there is also an option to install apps, and when checking, I found to apps in the folder, FDHttpd.apk and FDH16ttpd.apk (if I remember the latter's name properly).
Possibly, I should install one of these on the phone? And which one?
Thank you for your comments /suggestions

Hi,
I had thie same issue when I updated HTC Sync yesterday (HTC Desire).
What I did was unmount the SD card (Menu/Settings/SD & Phone Storage), once I got the notification it was unmounted I simply mounted it again and the sync worked. I also restarted the HTC Sync software during the unmount/mount cycle.
I never needed to install any apk from the HTC Sync folder.
Hope this helps.
Steve

This seems to be an issue with the HTC Sync application on the phone, or rather the inability to update it.
Uninstall "HTC Sync" on the phone (not your PC) and reconnect to the PC to automatically get the version provided with the PC HTC Sync (FDHttpd.apk, or FDhttpd16.apk if you are using Android 1.6).

[Q] Help? Slide noob!

i have a my touch 3g slide that i just bought off the internet and it works fine and everything! but im trying to connect it to my pc and it says "usb device not recognized?" hlep please? im running 2.1 with a temp root. (unversal andriod unlocker) and i have 32 gb micro sd card? every thing else works fine. help please? i have also tried using pda net and it will NOT install the drivers.

Check options for charge and sync, or others its in settings

Install HTC sync and it should install the drivers, that worked for me.

I installed HTC Sync and my phone is on disk drive? what am i missing?

[Q] No disk drive access possible on pc in JB?

I updated to official JB and now on connecting to pc via usb it doesn't show the same notification window as ICS.
There is no option as Charge Only or Disk Drive..
Is this normal, how to allow disk drive access in this case.

You can automatically access the phone storage on both sides (pc and from phone) at the same time. AKA mtp usb storage.

Even i have the same problem. Even if we are able to access the sd card from both sides, the sd card isnt being shown on the pc. I installed htc sync manager, but that just shows your media files, not your other data. Please help out fast!

Ums made place for mtp. You can mount your sd card in recovery

I was not having Sync Manager bfore hand so, when i connected my cell, Htc Syn Manager Setup started and downloaded a file of about 106.4 Mb, installer started and after a few steps it showed an error that a CheckandRemoveOldHTCDriver could not be found..
Any guesses whats wrong in this.. I m on 32 bit Win XP.

Some taiwanese pioneers report that it requires something from windows media player 11 too. Make sure you have these two software installed.
Alternatively, you can use newer windows to obtain simplify this problem.

I know about that.. When u connect the cell HTC Sync Manager Setup requires WMP 11 or above. I already hav 11.
Need some thing else, i have tried everything, I dont understand how can a Driver file b missing when i have run HTC Driver Installer and have downloaded the HSM setup file from HTC.com straight that too twice..
Initially the setup showed some other files missing like MS VC Redist 2005 etc, so i got them one after one then it stopped at this error...
All I wanted was to enjoy my JB but it a nightmare nw..

Remove all htc drivers.
Install the latest one from htc.
Reboot your computer
Connect the phone and let the drivers get installed.
I hope it works.

How can i remove all htc drivers, i know the device manager approach. But read sumwhere that these drivers are some times stored in system and same reverts when u connect the device..?

They have done away with usb mass storage in JB and gone to MTP storage. A decent work around is to mount with CWM recovery or TWRP recovery
Also this has been discussed before mate

I removed all drivers from device manager, then using htc sync installed the latest drivers HTC Driver Installer 3.0.0.021,
Then rebooted & connected the device.. But again same error of MTP..
I have an image of it.

Need drivers for a mac

My brother just got the One yesterday and told me today he can't get his to mount the USB storage. I asked If he searched online for it and he answered with "extensively." I told him I would ask if anyone on xda had the drivers for a MacBook.
So... does anyone have HTC sync drivers for a MacBook?

I only have Mac computers and the only 2 ways I can do anything with the phone and Mac is to either use HTC Sync Manager or Android File Transfer.
HTC Sync Manager People say it sucks but I've personally never had a problem with it at all.
Android File Transfer
They both work flawlessly for me.
EDIT: Looks like I may have misread. Did he already download HTC Sync? And it won't recognize? I didn't have to download any drivers or anything, I just downloaded HTC Sync Manager and it connected to my phone once I plugged it in.

I think he said he couldn't find HTC sync for mac. I appreciate the links. I will give them to him and let you know if it works for him.

He said it is not being recognized at all. He has HTC sync manager already.

Weird. HTC Sync I believe includes the drivers for the One. Has he tried uninstalling HTC Sync Manager from his Applications, restarting his mac, and redownloading and installing? That may help.
If not, have him try Android File Transfer. It allows him to transfer files, music, etc from his mac to the One, and vice versa.

Definitely try Android File Transfer
I have used it with my HTC one on my mac.
If that works, he will know it's some weirdness with HTC sync.
If it doesn't recognize either...then it's a different troubleshooting step...
