My Mac does not detect my android phone. Help!

[AC Question]

I keep getting a message saying Android File Transfer...could not connect to the device and this was after it kept telling me that my phone was locked when it wasn't.

Welcome to Android Central! Unfortunately, Android File Transfer is notoriously buggy. If you just want to transfer files, try a wireless solution like AirDroid or Wi-fi File Explorer.
