Look up the Samsung drivers and download them. This may enable connect8ng ur phone to pc

 

I'm not sure if this will help , but if you enable developer option by pressing build prop 7 times , then enable USB debugging ,, again not sure if this helps you ....just a noob

 

Having the same problem did the developer on with debugging setting tried Kies it suggested smart switch I'll try to find driver I uninstalled those certainly a PITA

 

I can copy files w/ my Win 8 notebook between Note & computer but with my Win 7 desktop I just pop out the SD card and use a card reader.

 

I don't know if this will help anyone, but the OS makes a difference in connecting to the Note 4. In my case, I still run WinXP (yah, yah I know!)... and I had a hell of a time trying to get my phone to connect to my PC. I tried Kies, Samsung drivers, etc... all to no avail.

What I ended up needing is what's called the Windows Driver Foundation driver. This driver will allow the phone to be detected by the PC and when it is, Task Manager will show a process of WudfHost.exe running.

When you first connect the phone it'll be in "install" mode... you need to switch it to "Media Device". I think once you do that, and you have the driver installed, your PC will see the phone.

It's been a very long time since I went through all the headaches you guys are having, so I can't remember my exact steps in installing this needed driver, neither can I remember which OS needs it, or where you can get it for your particular OS.

Try Google-ing it to find what you need. My main purpose here is to make you aware of this driver.

By the way, USB debugging doesn't need to be enabled to connect to the PC... at least not for me.

Good luck!

 

nobody has mentioned Pushbullet. Has anyone tried that for this problem?
