I just plugged my new Kindle Fire HD into my computer and&#8230; nothing. The device shows up on my Windows 7 system, but I can&#8217;t get to the files within. What am I doing wrong? I really want to drop some photos onto the device to share with friends&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave&#8217;s Answer: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not seeing a message on the Kindle about you possibly needing special software to access the files on the device then I&#8217;m guessing that your device is still locked and so, as you&#8217;d actually want if you think about it, there&#8217;s no way to actually see the contents of the Kindle Fire itself.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the question becomes &#8220;how do you set up your Kindle so it&#8217;s locked and requires a password&#8221;, and for that, I have an article with step-by-step details you should check out: enable a security password on your Kindle Fire HD. [link coming soon!]<\/p>\n<p>To access the files, indeed to have the device truly show up on your Win7 system in all its remote drive glory, plug it in, then unlock it.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, here&#8217;s what happens&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I plug in the Kindle Fire to my PC and it pops up a standard external drive addition window:<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/access-kindle-fire-files-win7-pc-1.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"access-kindle-fire-files-win7-pc-1\" width=\"339\" height=\"345\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-37744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/access-kindle-fire-files-win7-pc-1.png 339w, https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/access-kindle-fire-files-win7-pc-1-294x300.png 294w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px\" \/><br \/>\n<BR CLEAR=LEFT><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Open device to view files&#8221; seems reasonable, but the screen&#8217;s blank, as if the device is empty.
