Sorry is this has been covered... I connect to my Dell running windows 7, I can see and open the folders. I try to drag and drop mp3's in the music folder. Won't let me. Tried this on both sync settings. Anyone??

Does it give you an error or something?
Have you tried copying and pasting rather than dragging and dropping? Not sure what else to suggest really..

Do you have the usb setting to Music or Camera?
Music in Galaxy Nexus
Hi, you can try using google music and upload all the music you like and it can be accessed in your galaxy nexus anytime you want.

Try turning USB debuggin on under developer settings.
Can I ask a completely noob question that is most likely a step prior to the OP's issue?
Whenever I'm trying to copy music or .JPGs from my Win7 Machine to my GN, in any folder, I'm not even able to copy a single file and I receive the following message "Cannot Copy ***.JPG, You do not have permission to create this item."
I've tried a multitude of attempts, USB debugging On/Off, MTP vs PTP, opening Explorer as an administrator, and no joy with anything.
Any thoughts?

Hi I am using a Macbook and I plugged the Nexus selecting MTP option. I am unable to transfer data like songs amd downloaded from my phone to the Macbook. Is there something I should do? When switched to PTP iPhoto was launched and was able to transfer images only. Thanks for the help!

You need to download Android File Transfer.

Here is exactly what you need! all you need to do is download it, plug your phone in, and run it!
Link to android file transfer for mac: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
Note that it may not read the phone if the lock screen is up. Can be a pain if you're in a rush.

Yup. Random freezing, disconnecting, etc. Also takes forever to open a folder.

has anyone found a way around using this horrible program
i like airdroid (find it on google play) it connects to the same wifi as your pc or you connect to the mobile hotspot and you open http://ipaddressofthephone:8888 and theres a website where you can push and pull files and other cool things.

Many file explorers have WiFi transfer capabilities to/from your PC.
If you asked me this looks very odd. But when I attempt to copy some music albums from my PC down to my Galaxy Nexus, something strange happens. No matter what I do all the musics get moved to the root of the Music folder although they are originally stored in separate folders.
I even tried to copy the files into a very different folder completely apart from the default Music folder but the same thing happens every time.
I wonder why is this happening?
I'm using an Ubuntu powered box.

MTP is known for it's buggy implementation. I recommend using adb for file transfers (see the link in my signature).

It doesn't really seem like a bug to me. It's more like someone's put it there intentionally.
Thanks anyway. Seems I have to dig deeper for answers. :good:
Why don't you just sync your music files with your WMP to your phone? It's always working perfect for me. Regards

Because WMP supposedly doesn't run very well on Ubuntu.

Petrovski80 is right. WMP is not currently an option on ubuntu. I guess I just have to stick with command line for now.
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.

Thanks. Unfortunately, that didn't work for me. I'm trying to make sense of the file system on this device, Emulated, Vs SDcard and ExtSDcard...
So Im needing a little help. I just got the note 2 and want to get all my pics and vids over to my note. I know there isnt an sd card for the nexus. But I plug my phone into my laptop and click import pictures and videos and it goes up to about 1073 pics and vids and then just stops. Nothing else works. Ive also tried to just look for the file where all my pics are at using ES File or astro file. And I cant seem to locate where they are at. Can someone point me in the right direction please. I would appreciate it. Thanks

I would recommend using "AirDroid" app. It is convenient to select pictures/videos and download them to your PC and then transfer it to your Note2. Alternatively if you have ADB installed that's probably the fastest way. Simply use the commands *adb pull /sdcard/DCIM*
You're complicating things too much. Browse to your phones media folders after you connect to your desktop and then just drag the drag to where ever you need them saved on your PC. Then, do that in reverse for your Note.
Don't import anything. That's for people who don't know how to use a computer. Always drag and drop.

I am having trouble transferring files from the computer to my Nexus 7. Root and flashing ROM went fine everything else works flawless just can't load pictures or music onto the tablet. I am currently running android 4.3 and cleanROM 1.3 on new nexus 7. It must be something simple that I am overlooking sorry if this is a stupid question I did try to research it and came up with nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to do it remotely (way more annoying than with a cable, but once you get use to it, it can get handy)
Transfer rates can be relatively speaking, slow, but doesn't become a huge issue unless you're moving a lot of large sized files (i.e., high quality movies, a library of music etc.)
I use SSHDroid with WinSCP (For windows).
If you run Linux you don't really need WinSCP.
Using this method requires a little know-how with SSH / SCP to get optimal use out of this method.
Also, as a side note, your files are transmitted relatively safely (i.e., it's encrypted).
