Answer 1

I had faced two issues:

1. Nexus 7 not visible to eclipse/adb when connected over usb on windows 7 64-bit using latest Jelly Bean sdk
2. It was not showing in the 'My Computer' >> 'Portable Devices' list.

Ultimately, I found that it is an issue with the driver. Steps to resolve the issue - Open Device Manager, Uninstall the current driver (along with delete option set to yes), disconnect the device, reconnect it again, let windows install the default driver it wants, and then installed the google sdk driver again. It worked this time.

Above tells me that there is some issue with default driver and therefore, you have to delete it and re-install it. Now, it is visible in eclipse/adb and also showing in 'My Computer' also.
