When you connect to your computer, do you pull down the notification bar at the top of the Atrix phone screen? If so, then you might need to change your port on the computer.

2 suggestions that helped me: make sue you have at least an 80% charge...it matters on some computers (don't know why) AND turn your phone offand then back on just before connecting to your computer. Apparently some background apps interfere with the connection and re-starting your phone re-sets them as well.

Do you have the most recent update? If you do not, I would suggest getting it. If you continue to have the same problem after updating you will need to backup your phone with one of the apps from the android market and do a factory reset completely erasing your sdcard, this is what I had to do and now I don't have any of the missing app, missing pictures/videos or save to SD card errors that I had before.

Do the factory reset as a last resort. The update to 2.3.6 should fix a lot of the problems you are seeing.

Is this something that just started out of the blue or did u modify something and then noticed the problem?

I have also found that the following apps cause my phone to have sd card errors.

Evernote, Bejeweled 2, AT&T QR Reader

I will update the list as I run across others.

Just checked out same problem with the guys from whom I bought the phone. BAD usb cord. I think some are charge only.
