A device driver is a piece of software that acts as a bridge between your device and the computer to give an interface to the computer to communicate with your device. So unless you’ve proper driver, specific for your device, installed on the computer you won’t be able to give any commands to your device, and that includes even basic things like copy/paste files (photos, music, documents, etc.).

Computer operating systems like Windows did a good job at handling drivers with Windows Vista to automatically install appropriate driver for a particular device, which eased the pain Windows XP users had regarding device drivers.
However, with new devices coming in every year, more so with the advent of smartphones and tablets, even Microsoft’s automated driver installation system fails to install proper driver for the device. And then you’ve to fall back to the traditional way, that’s manual driver installation.

Most device manufacturers provide executable files for driver installation. Motorola provides drivers packed in Motorola Device Manager which (along with drivers) is a complete software to manage/update your device on the computer via a USB cable.
This year’s Nexus 6 is manufactured by Motorola and is very much similar to Moto X 2nd Gen. in terms of hardware, so Motorola Device Manager is you one-click way to install Nexus 6 driver on your computer.
However, in case you can’t get the ADB and Fastboot driver installed on your computer using Motorola Device Manager, then you may install the drivers manually using Google USB drivers. Which are provided by Google for all Nexus devices.
Below are instructions for installing Nexus 6 drivers using both Motorola Device Manager and Google USB driver. We’d recommend you to first try the Motorola method, and if it doesn’t works then try the Google USB driver which are installed manually.

OTHER TIPS:
- Connect your device to other USB ports on the computer.
- Try different USB cables. The original cable that came with your device should work best, if not — try any other cable that’s new and of good quality.
- Reboot computer.
- Try on a different computer.
Folks,
Vivo Mtp Driver For Mac
I had this problem with my PC (windows 7, 64-bit) and my iPad. After messing with it for a long time, I finally found the answer (bad USB driver). The following two step process should help resolve these kinds of problems more quickly.
The first step is to verify that the iPad (or iPhone) is really connected to your computer. This can be (really) checked using a program called USBDeview. You can get this (very small) program from http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html or http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html. Don't worry, it's not Spyware or Malware.
Just run the program and sort on the 'Connected' column. If your iPad or iPhone doesn't show up as Yes (under 'Connected') then your iDevice is not properly connected to your computer. Could be a cable problem. Could be an iDevice problem. Could be a USB hub problem. Note that your iDevice might be listed as what it is (iPad or iPhone) or it might be listed as 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' in the 'Description' column.
Apple has a number of ideas to resolve this sort of basic connectivity issue, including switching USB ports, resetting your iDevice, rebooting your iDevice, rebooting your computer, etc. You will need to try them until your iDevice shows up in USBDeview as 'Yes' under Connected.
![Mtp Driver For Mac Mtp Driver For Mac](/uploads/1/1/4/2/114204549/390076682.png)
If you iDevice shows up as 'Yes' under connected, it should also be visible in the Device Manager (found in the Windows 7 Control Panel under Hardware and Sound). You might find it under Portable Devices or it might be under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
The iDevice may or may not show up in the Windows Explorer. On some machines it does, on others it does not. Why is not clear.
If the Idevice is properly known to Windows and iTunes can't see it, then any number of other things could be wrong. Apple has a list. See the very useful page over at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. Testing shows that the Apple Mobile Device service must be running. Check this using Task Manager (started by right clicking the taskbar). Note that the iPod service and the iphlpsvc service must also be running. These services have different names under the Processes table versus the Services tab of Task Manager.
AppleMobileDeviceService.exe - Apple Mobile Device
iPodService.exe - iPod Service
ItunesHelper.exe - iphlpsvc
Mtp Driver For Mac
Step 4 of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 checks if the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. This is essential and a common source of problems. In at least some cases, Windows will install the 'MTP USB' driver. Indeed, Windows will reinstall this driver if you uninstall it. The MTP USB driver is essentially a Windows bug (possibly caused by Microsoft). You MUST replace the MTP USB driver with the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. Step 4 explains how to do this. Note that you MUST use the 'Have Disk' approach. Otherwise, Windows will just reinstall the invalid MTP driver.
The Apple doc indicates that you can find the correct driver at C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesAppleMobile Device SupportDrivers. Perhaps this is correct on some systems. You may find the correct driver in C:Program FilesCommon FilesAppleMobile Device SupportDrivers.
iTunes could make this a lot easier by checking if the iDevice is known to Windows (what USBDevier does) and if the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is properly installed for the iDevice. Sadly it doesn't perform either check. Note that iTunes does if some of the related services (see above) are actually running.
