Well, it's in the options. Try this:

Go to your settings tab and click on all settings. Then click on the connections tab and then click on USB to PC then you'll see it.

Kirkee, let me know how u r data is after u resolve all u r activeisht prob, lol

u on 3g?


Kirkee, dont let that activesync bs frustrate you, follow HornDoc , also at times it could be the pc/laptop prob, what system are you running WIN7 32 BITS OR 64BITS , do you have MOBILE DEV CENTER installed?
We all had this prob before, that is why i am sure u ll get it right.

Well, I'm worse off not better. my work laptop is XP with ActiveSynch. my home laptop is 64 bit Win 7 with Mobile Device center but it won't even recognize the phone.


At one point in trying to get all this happy, I blew away my phone's relationship to my work Exchange Server (hoping that re-establishing would some how make it all better).


That was a very bad idea!!!


Naturally it blew away my contacts, calendar and e-mail on my phone as expected so that's ok. But when I went back in and told it to sync those 3 items - setting calendar to only retrieve previous 2 wks of appt. then I told it to sync - when it got to 3000 calendar events downloading, I figured it "missed" my request for just 2 wks of appointments.


I blew it away and was very careful to request just the 2 wks on calendar. I'm not that busy of a person - maybe a dozen appts in last 2 wks. tried again - still just kept downloading. I left it plugged in thinking it might just run its course - after 14 hrs, it was still downloading calendar items > 33,000 and growing!


I blew away and just said contacts and e-mail. but still can't get the dumb files off nor put the ones on for work that I want.


Regarding Horndocs advise, on the Active Synch on phone, I did place checkbox on 'sync all PCs using this connector' and have USB selected. But I didn't see any change in the Active Synch options for drive access.



But reality is I'm not synching via USB. I'm synching directly to the work Exchange Server over internet instead of sync-ing to my laptop which was synched to Exchange server.


I do computer things in the automation of manufacturing environment so I'm reasonable techical but this phone is pissing me off! However, one of my work mottos is "do not let the computer win" - so I will beat this into submission (eventually).


So now my higher priority is getting the calendar to actually sync since that's pretty dog gone important feature for me!

Thanx - kirkee

Wow!
You started thos thread asking how to move files from phone to pc right? lol
Well, just to clarify about that:
Starting from your Home Screen on htc TouchFlo3d/Sense, slide your finger using the slider at the bottom of your Home Screen to your settings tab and then click on the All Settings softkey at the bottom of the screen. Then click on the Connections Tab and then you should see a USB to PC icon. Click it and then you'll see a selection for Activesync and Disk Drive Mode when connected to a pc with usb. If you select disk drive mode then you can browse files on your ppc when connected to your pc with usb.

Now, as for your exchange mess I suggest you probably need to do a clear storage/hard reset on your device and then set up your tp2 like it is a new phone with your exchange server which should get everything back on your device. Of course, before you do that though, delete partnerships and the old relationship with your exchange server and verify that all the data like contacts, calendar, etc. are as they should be on your exchange server. Then recreate the partnership/relationshop with your pc and sync to straighten you out. Then from now on do weekly backups of your devicee using one of the many backup solutions availabe.

So still on the moving files topic...I found the USB to PC icon and then selected it but still don't have any "drive" related options. I've attached screen caps.

Unfortunately, that's not the usb to pc icon I was referring to. Like I said you have to go to the Settings Tab in Sense/TouchFlo3d first. Or from the Start Menu click on Settings then select the Connections tab at the bottom then click on USB To PC icon.

Try this:
In that second picture you attached, on that screen select that last option to ask when you connect to a PC then click ok then exit that and then soft reset and reboot your PC. Then connect your device to your PC and see if the popup comes up on your device with an option for Disk Drive or Mass Storage Mode.
