My Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 will not connect to PC

[AC Question]

I downloaded Sidesync so that I can run my new Tab. on the internet to download apps etc. The Version I have on the computer is Ver. 4 and on the tab. it is ver 3. It says to up date the tab. ver, to ver 4, but I cannot connect until I update. How do I get around this without having to go wi fi???

Do you see it in Windows Explorer?

No, I opened the icon (sidesync) from my desk top. Tried it that way and tried to sync from the tablet. Nothing worked.

Drivers from Samsung's website?

Make sure you're using Google the USB cord that came with the device. I tried connecting with an older extra cord but had no luck. Make sure you're using the default cable or an equivalent.

I have the same problem, I'm using the original cable that came with the tablet, I downloaded the latest driver from samsung (as of today), and it doesn't work. Well I must say that sometimes it works, I guess one out of ten times I can connect. Could it be the port in the tablet? I tried using another samsung cable and it didn't worked. Any hints? Thanks

I had same problem. Lenovo laptop with WIN10 cannot recognized Samsung Tab2. Lenovo ran diagnostic and checked and claimed it Samsung Tab2 problem. I went to Samsung service centre and they test with their Samsung laptop. It worked. They think it Lenovo problem. Both use back original USB cable. This is what I call ping pong service. They just keep passing the ball around. Most techies are half-baked in this country.
