I've tried 3 different cables on 3 different computers and it hasn't worked on any of them.. 2 cables are Samsung and 1 was a blackberry cable. All 3 computers are windows XP. Could that be the problem?

No I don't think its XP. Did you find the epic drivers and install them?

Are you plugging the cable into just any USB port?
Computers usually have like 6 or more usb ports... Usually only two of them are the primary. The rest are technically a USB hub.
On a normal desktop tower, you want to plug your phone into one of the USB ports immediately adjacent to the network port. They are usually side by side, Network jack, and 2 usb next to it.
You may have to look up how to clean uninstall the samsung driver, then reinstall it before you ever plug your phone into your computer. Then you want to always plug it in the same spot. USB ports often act like individual devices. Even though the driver is installed, and your phone may work on 1 usb port, moving it to another port, it may fail to recognize it.
This may be a setting on your phone, or it may be a setting on the pc. Also, when mounting and unmounting your phone, make sure you use Windows XP safely remove hardware, or the unmount option from your phone to prevent it from failing to recognize at a later date.
Wow ill have to try that later, thank you for the info.

If that still doesn't work, I rebooted the comp while still in usb storage on my phone, which finaly made it recognize... good luck to you though!

Make sure your USB debugging is off I had to turn it off for some ROM's I don't know why but I did. Also If that don't work go to the market and download "Multi Mount SD-Card Lite" This worked like a charm for me especially the widget, but for the free version you can't have Ad Blocking on.
Same thing happened to my Hero back when I was first learning how to root the thing. Outside of computer and cable problems, it has to be your phone. I have to ask though, is it at least charging when you plug it in?
First of all, I have searched everywhere in the forums (in all sections) outside the forms in all means to find anybody with the exact symptoms that is happening to my galaxy nexus but to no avail
There are many cases where others has faced issues but not as unique as this one.
PC = Windows 7 (64bit) + Windows 7 (32bit) + Windows Vista + MAC OSX + Windows XP(32bit) .. etc
I have been seeing all the issues (common or unique) with charging and USB in GNex but mine is truly a unique one.
I got this phone 2 days ago on stock 4.0.2 locked/unrooted from a Blondie.
The issue is when connecting the USB via PC in Android mode (while inside the OS)! Thephone doesn’t event register in windows (i.e. not connection sound or anything shows up in the system trey or device manager)
The phone doesn’t charge as well when it’s ON (in Android Mode) and connected to the PC.
In simple and bare words .. there is no spark!? it’s as there is no physical action happened in the PC nor the Phone?
Here are facts that might ring a bell to figure out what’s going wrong here:
The phone charges normally via AC (stock charger or other chargers) and there is no issue at all in both cases wither the phone is switched ON or OFF.
Fastboot is properly connected and recognized in windows and the phone gets recognized when connected in ODIN as well and I am able to flash (already did a couple of stock rom flashing using Galaxy Nexus ToolKit v5.6
It also worth mentioning that when the phone is OFF and connected to PC via USB it shows the bolt icon and start charging for 5 seconds and reboots again to the bolt icon and this gets repeated endlessly.
I have also tried 4 different Micro-USB cables just to be fair.
Because of this, I am unable to root the phone and this is driving me crazy!
Please help me out here.
Did you download the samsung drivers?

It could be an issue with the micro-USB port on the phone. Some people have started having issues after a few months, myself included. If that's the case you have to get it serviced.
Songs like an issue with your drivers.

I don't see the point!? The device is not even picking up when connected to the PC? I don't reach to the point of driver installation unless I'm in fastboot or Odin.

Go to the samsung website and download the drivers onto your PC...if you don't have the drivers it can't possibly connect to your phone to charge

i found out that if i plug in the usb to phone phone, then rebooted it. it would get recognized.
Is the microUSB port really so delicate on the GNex?
I had an Xperia X10i before this and had to replace it after nine months.
Should I be extra careful?

Drivers won't fix your problem.
Will the cord you are using charge the Galaxy Nexus if you put it into a wall charger?

Yes, it perfectly charges from AC using thew same cord.
For a temporary solution, you can use an app called software data cable, which allows you to access the file system using ftp. Or any app that does this for the matter.

The only thing I can think of is you either have a defective phone, a defective USB port, or you are trying to use a low power port.
I just plugged mine into a desktop that doesn't have a Nexus driver and it worked fine.

I would say it's a defective USB port if fastboot/ODIN are not functioning. but both modes are working flawlessly and I always keep flashing stock roms!? such a weird issue!!!?
Low power port? Nope! I have USB 3.0 and 2.0!
I just bought a galaxy s2 running stock gb on ebay and whenever I plug it in any pc it only charges. There is no usb notification nor does computer play a sound when the phone is connected. The phone makes a sound and just charges no matter what I do, I have tried usb debugging on/off and nothing. When I go into wifi/connection settings and select usb mode it says to connect a cable when the usb cable is already connected. I have tried many usb cables including the original samsung one.
Did I just buy a defective phone or am I missing something?
You need the drivers, either Google it or wait for someone to post a link, your call.

Try all usb ports as well! Even without the drivers you should still be able to use it as mass storage device

Are you using a data cable and not just a regular charging cable? You still see the option to connect mount the SD card evn without the drivers.

I'm not sure if this works on stock gb buy try going to settings/storage. Then press menu and if another settings option comes up then go there and see if there is an option to mount as mass storage device

Having the same issue, can it be that I am using a backed up ROM? I know that there are times when having a backed up ROM changes your system to R/O instead of R/W
---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------
MY PC basically does three quick beeps, like the ones it would make when connecting to the phone.... the only difference is when properly connected it would make one beep. I have 6 USB ports and have used all of them. In Root Explorer it states "Cannot detect SD card" that happened after i clicked on SD card to see what files were there.
I did a fresh flash of a ROM and now I am not having issues connecting to PC.
similar problem
I have the same problem of my gs2 not connecting to the computer. The only difference is that it isn't new, and I've been connecting to the computer using the exact same cord for a while.
I'm not really sure what the problem could be, it was working fine as recently as yesterday
Had the same issue I had to send it in for repairs USB port on the phone was effed up

Install moboro on ur PC, make sure developer options is enabled, and debugging is ticked, moboro will install needed drivers for phone to be seen, check to see if the phone is rooted y downloading root checker from play store, if it is rooted it may be an issue with the rom, try downloading Odin and putting the phone in download mode, Odin should see the device and say "added", if so go to sammobile.com find ur devices newest firmware and DL the file, use odin to flash the firmware on the phone, should solve all issue, u can also use Odin without being rooted too so, if u need more info, links or whatever, just let me know

WARNING
I had the same problem about a month ago. I had sent it to Samsung and they replaced the USB part of my phone. So if nothing works, DON'T PREFORM A FACTORY RESET IF YOU'RE ON STOCK! THAT CAN MAKE YOU STUCK ON A BOOT LOOP! but if you're lucky then everything will work fine. I only say this because it happened to me.
hi guys am facing this problem after the new update i cannot connect my note 2 to my laptop through usb cable i changed the cable download the samsung driver turned off the anti virus reboot the laptop and the phone i did factory reset to the phone i even connect it to a different laptop but still the same problem its just charging not making any data or media connection it does through the wifi not through the usb cable
Maybe try over n over again it takes me like 10 tries so my computer can recognize it

I have the same issue. The most reliable way I find is to remove all drivers for the phone from the PC. Connect it, and just let Windows install part of the drivers. It will not install the Samsung drivers, but will connect reliably via USB. I did on thread a while back on it: linky. It's a limited solution because of the lack of Samsung drivers, there is no ADB access.
There is some issue with the Samsung drivers not have the correct hardware reference or something. I think it's tied into Kies, but I've had Kies installed and still had issue. Plus, since Google changed how the storage is organized to allow for difference user profiles, the phone does not work like normal USB thumb drive anymore. I use it to store school projects, and I have to copy and paste them from the phone to the PC and vice versa; not all files require this. Some are can be accessed while stored on the phone on the PC.
I can almost guarantee you're using Windows 8 .... and it has something to do with the driver signature stuff

thanks folks for your help i did take both my laptop n note 2 to bestbuy and they fix soething in my window about driver signutre or something like that so i guess you were right my friend the right solution is the one this guy above suggested ..thanks again for all
Well I was going to root my girlfriends phone today, but I cant. Now before you tell me to use a search button, listen.
I tried looking. I've tried every solution I found. Here's what's going on.
I downloaded kies, then connected phone, phone started charging but no detection on windows. I tried a different cable, still nothing.. Uninstalled kies, restarted phone and computer, reinstalled kies and hooked the phone back up. Same deal, charge only but no detection on windows
So I tried another computer, different cable again. Same problem. Charge only, but no detection on windows. I looked at the charging port, no bent, discolored pins. It will charge on an ac charger as well. I have tried everything I know, it won't even detect Odin mode.
Any suggestions?
