[SOLVED]ICS USB Drivers
Partial success! I no longer hear the 3 quick beeps, my device connects (according to Device Manager), but it is listed as an ADB interface (see attached screenshot).
I ended up trying to install the USB drivers you sent me Moscow (the Acer ones from Tegraforums) and they install fine, but I can't see my device.
Good news is that I can at least see the device via ADB, but I have no clue how to mount /sdcard or Mass Storage through ADB.
Is there any way that I can manually install the drivers for the tablet so that Windows can now recognize it? Because it seems like all I have now is the ADB interface.
Thanks!
I'm slowly getting there!
EDIT: I FIXED IT! I flashed Taboonay 3.0, and lo and behold, I'm in! I'm not sure if there was anything missing from AOKP or not, so I might wait off until the next update to try it out. HUGE thanks to erica_renee and Moscow Desire for all of your help Very much appreciated!

Great! And you're also set up for ADB!!
Yes! I have it set up for my phone, now I have my tablet as well
Do you know how I would check my bootloader version? Taboonay requires a patch if you're on the ICS bootloader. I don't think I'm on the ICS BL, but I need to confirm.

Install Acer Iconia A500 (ICS ROM) to use ACER Composite ADB interface
EDIT: I did search this thread for the term: ACER Composite ADB interface ... I did not see the 'SOLVED' post on the last page
You can download the usb drivers from acer: (these are not for ICS)
v1.00.0524 2011/10/06 (*acer claims that this is newer, even through the version is less)
v1.06.1500 2011/08/08 (*this is what I installed)
When windows says a driver cannot be found.
If you go into device manager and choose the reinstall or update the driver you can manually point it the files extracted, from one of the archives above.
Choose: 'ACER Composite ADB interface'
**NOTE: this will not give access to internal or sd storage, but it will allow access through adb like normal.

Thanks dude, I'm not sure what I ended up doing, but I got ADB working and then worked on getting mass storage to work.
I hope those links can help someone else out if they are experiencing the same issues as me!

I think you have MTP disabled. Go to settings, storage, hit the 3 dots in the top right hand corner and enable MTP. This is what was wrong with my A500 on AOPK

Here are 2 zip files.
1 for Google USB drivers and the other for USB ADB for HTC drivers.
Unzip them to different folders on your C:\. Then let it search again. Hope it picks them up.1Hello all,
I posted a thread yesterday about my issues trying to get my a500 running AOKP to connect to my computer. So, as it is right now, it's got nothing on it, except for a few apps.
I have narrowed it down to the possibility that it is NOT ROM-specific and that it has something to do with USB drivers. I installed the drivers from the Acer US and UK websites, along with the setup.exe drivers from TimmyDean's root folder. None of them worked.
I tried on two different computer, and got the same issues. All I hear is 3 quick beeps after the computer fails to install device driver software.
My question is this: To those of you who are on an ICS ROM/Leak, HOW do you access your SD Card/Internal Storage on your PC?
I really hope somebody could help, I'm pretty stumped.
I installed Android SDK and the google adb drivers. Then I let win7 search the whole system.1
I had google android drivers, Acer drivers, probably 4 different sets. I believe the last I used, were HTC adb drivers. Got pretty frustrated as I couldn't connect 501 with adb. But After I did the full scan on c: drive, it finally picked them up.
It doesn't matter which drivers get used, as long as it works
"Throw enough bullets at the target, and eventually you will hit it"1have you tried going into device manager .Then plug in the Iconia tab once its recognized .Right lick on the device and install the drivers manually.You must know where the drives are extracted to on your computer to do this. Also Not with my acer tab but i have had a issue in the past with usb device drivers .They can sometimes be confused by windows and windows will load driver for the other device and of course fail. So to get around this you can try making sure your phone is connected to the usb port you always use. Then try to plug the iconia into another port. and see If windows will prompt you to install the device.
If still no luck do a search on microsoft tech site.If you can not find it this can also be done by uninstalling all usb devices on the computer in programs and features. Then go to device manager and manually uninstall the usb hubs and devices listed in there. Reboot the computer and windows will put them back.Re install the drives from acer for the iconia reboot. then connect it and see if it will then find the device.
The above is for tech savy users only due to if there is a registry issue the hubs might not install back .
Good luck. and again if you cant follow what i typed above Microsoft tech help has it in step by step instructions. just search for usb device driver install issues and narrow down your issue.1Not sure you tried this or not.
Go to Acer.com then there download drivers page. look. for Acer sync. Download and install that. it just might install the Acer adb drivers
Beyond that I say go to Ms tech site and search for USB host/driver issues.
Sorry its not working but at this point I have no idea without being infront of the machine.
Good luck
