Re: Mac Book Air not recognizing android when plugged in with an

Are you using the data cable that came with the phone? My Macbook doesn't do anything other than charge my SIII if it's not the stock cable

Not sure. Maybe you have to download the drivers or connect thru Kies

are you setting it for USB MTTP camera mode?

I dont know if it helps but I also have USB debugging in developer settings enabled. Works fine for me on OSX Lion.

A similar thing happened to me on windows 7. I had to re-install the Samsung USB drivers so that the driver could find my phone with its new firmware level. That fixed the problem. Two days later I got a Windows Update message about new Samsung MTP driver.

Android File Transfer doesn't work on my MacBook Pro ( Lion ). Tried every combination possible ( charging cables & phone settings ). I'll stick with SyncMate, until something better comes along.:p
