Tried it, couldn't get it to work

It should have worked. Error messages?

No, nothing appears. No icons, messages, or anything.

Try a different cable. Try a different USB port. Try a different computer.

Transferring files is as described in post 2. That is pretty much universal for all recent devices.

I used to transfer messages between Android and computer for data backup . like the text messages .contacts,videos ,images ,

Text messages and contacts can be backed up using ADB, but unless rooted and unless you know where the files go, you won't be able to effectively restore them. Videos and images, because they are stored in the user space, i.e. /sdcard, can be copied as described without ADB and without root.

I used to backup Android contacts on computer . as well as the text messages,videos ,images ,

Based on the mobile version and the size of the transmitted data ,maybe your data transfer scheme is for you not other people.

It seems that Marshmallow users have to do some extra settings in order to connect to PC as MTP.
Try this:
Go to Settings> About phone (> Software info), tap “Build number” 7-10 times. Back to Settings> Developer options, check “Select USB Configuration”, choose MTP.

Good suggestion, if might be the problem of USB debugging.
