Are you enabling usb storage? When you plug it in pull the notification bar down and click on it then hit the button? Dont need drivers to access mass storage

Drivers
You have 2 options
You can download the drivers referenced here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307478
I had to enable USB Debugging to get it to work correctly with Windows 7.
But after that you can access both the SD card and the internal memory on the phone through Windows Explorer
Or you can use the Kies software and do it wirelessly. Details here:

Reboot phone and pc. Mine does that sometimes. I bought a mt4g new and it did that too me. Returned it and got a new one and it did the same. Reboot my pc and it worked. I felt like a tool.

I have no problems using a 32 bit PC - but with 64 bit Window's professional, it is as if the phone were only connected to power. Companion link synch program overcomes this problem -- apparently it installs its own drivers and after doing a usb synch to outlook, I am able to use windows to transfer files between the galaxy S 2 (t989) and windows. However I have not found any drivers that permit the Samsung to connect to the Windows 7 using usb cable w/o using companion link first.
I had the same problem and samsung tech support had me pull the battery for 30 seconds. That did the trick, but it has happened once since.

I plugged my epic 4g touch into my computer via usb cable and i dont see any drives in "my computer" that i can access the data... is this normal without a SD card???

nevermind i just realized in device manager it has a ! and I had to have it search for drivers again. for some reason the drivers failed to install the first time
You should see something, because there is built in storage.When I plug mine in it shows 2 because I have a sd card and the regular internal.
I only get 'MTP-Connected'; no drive letters.

That's how it's supposed to work, the internal storage doesn't mount as a disk like an SD card, you browse it like a device. Just navigate to your devices. This would look familiar to anyone who has a galaxy tab, it's the same way.

No you don't. Read above post.
Dont you have to click the notification and click on Connect USB to Computer, then hit the big button that say CONNECT? this is how im doing it.
at first the Drive letters would pop up but I could not see anything in the folders when I tried to open the drives, but on my phone after I do the USB to PC connect it then gives me access to the files.
If you want to see it as a usb drive, yes you do. If you're just using it as MTP, then no you don't.

When I plug into my ps3, in order to be able to see files I have to go under wireless and network then into usb utilities. There isn't an option that automatically shows up in the pull down menu. Will that change once I insert an sd card?

My AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII is suddenly no longer being recognized by my Windows 7 x64-bit PC. I don't recall doing anything to the phone or PC that would've caused this. It's been about a week or so since I last connected the phone to the PC, and I recall that for about a week or two before that, I was having trouble in that I'd connect the phone and nothing would happen, so I'd have to disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it, then the PC would recognize it and the Explorer window would open up on the PC showing the internal and external storage on the phone. I'm trying to transfer more of my music to the phone, and it's extremely frustrating to not be able to do that!
Any ideas what's wrong?

Have you tried another cable? The one that comes with the phone is crap.

power off the phone, remove and re-install the battery. worked for me
If you backed up the Imei recently you may have used the qpst app to set the phone to connect to a port instead of MTP. Did you recently do this ? If so you need to set usb settings back to MTP.

I had the exact same issue not too long ago. I tried re-installing drivers...pulled out battery..different usb cable..factory wipe...and also tried three different PC, and still S3 wasn't recognize. I solved this issue by using CyanogenMod 10 ROM....not to mention this rom is so much better than the stock rom . I'm currently on the NEW CM10 Night 8/19 build, and so far no issues connecting phone to PC. By the way i'm on Rogers and you can get the rom here..http://get.cm/?device=d2att

Yeppers... with other problems I've had/read, I think the latest H1 leak has major problems... which may explain why it hasn't been officially released.
Once i moved over to the H1 build, that was when my pc (w7) stopped recognizing my phone, as well. i can get into it if i mount it as camera, it will let me explore the phone/sd card but i just use Kies to transfer....
I've got a Sprint Galaxy SIII, SPH-L710 16GB, no SD Card. When I connect the device to my computer (WinXP, latest Samsung Drivers Installed) I'm able to see files I have downloaded to the storage via the device itself, as well as an .apk that I moved over from my computer, but I'm not able to see the various folders (DCIM, Foursquare, Music, Goomanager, Etc...) Is there something I'm missing here? Phone is running CM10.1 JellyBro.
**In the attached screenshot you can see the various files and folders, when I try to access the storage on my desktop, all I can see are the GAPPS.zip file, and the WhatsApp.apk
I know when I connect mine (vistax64) it pulls it up as a media device should be able to see it under my computer. If not I would look under your media player settings. Or you may wanna check to see if USB debugging is checked on your phone

Thanks. I actually tried that. USB debugging changed nothing. When I threw an SD Card in though, it suddenly was able to see SOME of my folders... I'm gonna do a clean wipe and start fresh, using the CM10.1 Official Nightly. I really need to get this remedied. I'll circle back once I have some results.
Should be studying for my MA Life Insurance license, and not buggering with my phone... oh well.

Hi, the S4 has been running great but all of a sudden my PC will not recognize any internal Memory or SD Cards.
It's really weird. All the cables are fine. The PC recognizes the phone but no internal memory nor External cards anymore.
Any help is greatly appreciated
I get this to happen randomly at times. I'd suggest you try a different usb port. Or change the MTP usb connection to PTP. Although this will only let you transfer pictures. Try toggling the usb debugging option.

Hey Thanks but I have tried all of that. Really weird why this is happening. It was fine all of this time. The fact is the PC won't even do that on my Note 2 also. So, it can't be the s4.
Even Kies kee's saying "Connecting.." It won't even recognize any device.
This just started happening to mine too 10min ago... wont recognize drives but will phone..
Then I can get drives to show but cant transfer anything....
Then it stops and says device in use even after a battery pull...
I cf auto rooted

I can confirm this as well. I had a lot more issues with my galaxy s2. It would never show up on 1 of my laptops and I would have to use it with my desktop only.
Back to the S4, it has only happened once so far. But switching usb ports normally works for me. I'd recommend just reinstalling the drivers/kies and start over. Also before you go return your phone. Try connecting it to a different computer and see if it is recognized.
has someone found a way
Uhh what do you mean? Lol. Have to be a little more specific so we understand your issue you're facing. Because all you do Is hook up the usb to your PC. And whala. You might need to install drivers if yours is not properly working.

IF you have not as of yet, download the New Kies (that is only for the note 3) it has the proper USB 3.0 drivers. Also make sure you are using the 3.0 port on your lappy. If you are on an old lappy, it's blue and usually says USB/ESATA on newer lappies they are black so check your OEM guide for which one. USB 3.0+ Boost will have a lighting bold over the USB symbol
Go into developer option and unchecked usb debugging. Then reboot and plug phone in done
NOTE 3

I think the person who ask; he wants the USB Mass Storage support which can use in Car, or devices that support UMS.
I have a 2009 Honda, and it had support iPod, and USB Mass Storage, but Note 3 is NOT compatible with my car.

UMS for galaxy note 3 does not exist unless some kernel dev is going to enable it.

hi,
just to be sure: I enabled "USB debugging" and rebooted, but still can`t access the phones memory from my Mac...
Using Airdroid and "Android file transfer" in the meantime, but it is awkward...
Any help? Is there an alternative to connect to a Mac?
Thank you in advance!

I would love to see this too. I used that app on both S2's I had so I could play music through the USB port on my car stereo. It won't work with MTP
Using usb 3 mode, copying to the internal sd is super fast.
