None of the recommendations have worked. I've selected both Media and Camera. The USB degger selection is toggled on. Android File Transfer just does not recognize my SIII no matter how many times I plug it in.

Re: S3 isn't recognized on macbook pro help!

I got it to work!! After completing step #3, wait a couple of minutes to give Kies some time to recognize the S3. Thanks to this tip found in the comments here!

1. Unplug the USB cable

2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284# Once the last # is hit,
the PhoneUtil application is launched.
Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode.
The good mode should be PDA.
Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.

3. Plug the USB cable.

Now Kies should be able to find your phone..

:cool:

Completely uninstall Kies if you have it installed. AFT won't work if Kies is installed. That is what did the trick for me.

I have the same problem, i've tried all the options everyone has given on this post and i've got nowhere!

Android file transfer won't work and now Kies isn't finding my phone, does it really need to be this hard to transfer files onto a mac?

I much prefer Android, but my god this is such a pain in the a#*!!!!

Help?

Galaxy 3 sync with iTunes/Outlook on Mac Pro (running OSX 10.8.5)???

I need help here. I have tried Kies via USB and via Air but cannot find a way to sync contacts and calendars. I can deal with iTunes music files. Help?

Welcome to the forums!
I have tried Kies via USB and via Air but cannot find a way to sync contacts and calendars.
Is your problem that Kies is not recognizing your phone, or that you can't sync with Outlook? If the latter, are you receiving an error message? I assume that you're using Kies v3?
