What is the trick to seeing the Nexus 7 2013 on my computer?

[zrxoa1]

I have USB debugging turned on and MTP checked. My pc will not see it. Any ideas? Thanks!

If you're using an official cable, sounds like a driver issue. Try other cables and USB ports. Have you tried unchecking mtp? (just to see what happens). You don't say which os you are using. If Windows, this (http://m.download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html) program is an easy way to identify and uninstall USB drivers. You can also look at USB ports in hardware to see any errors.

Any time I want to transfer something from my PC to the N7 I have to uncheck MTP and then recheck it. As soon as I recheck it the PC sees it. This is with the original N7 cable.

About 3/4 of the way down, there's a post that helped me - these are the steps that helped:

Go into Devices and Printers on your windows PC >>> Right click your Nexus 7 >>> Properties >>> Hardware >>> Properties >>> Change settings >>> Driver >>> Uninstall. >>>>> Done >>>> Then unplug Nexus 7 and replug and Windows should load the correct driver and Nexus 7 should be recognized.

If you have a lockscreen other than swipe, make sure it's unlocked

By "latest Windows" do you mean Windows 10?

Have you tried a PC running Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1?

Sorry. Windows 8. Not 10...
