Can anyone connect an LG G4 to an early 2008 MacBookPro via USB?

[ellyenne]

Has anyone successfully connect an LG G4 to an early 2008 MacBookPro via USB? I have been unable. I've done this for 5 years with my Droid2.
I can connect a microUSB thumbdrive, so the phone hardware isn't a problem.
I've loaded the driver from the LG G4, and Android File Transfer on the Mac. I've set all the settings correctly.
So far, Verizon, LG and Apple techs have been unable to get the phone to connect. The only options the techs have is to reset my phone to factory, which means another 5 days setting it up again.
Can anyone help?

Thanks, but doesn't really help with my problem.

Anyone? This is an ongoing problem and I can't seem to get Android File Transfer to work. The LG drivers don't work. I can't find another app that works. All the other apps use WiFi or Bluetooth, or something else useless. I get really tired of the 2 step method using a thumb drive.
All my cables work with my Droid2 (which still connects just fine with my Mac). I've set up USB debugging. I've tried both USB ports on the Mac. I've set it to MTP. I've done all the easy stuff.
IT STILL DOES NOT WORK.
Help?

Try deleting Android file transfer and looking for a newer version or just reinstall. My g4 connects to my macbook with no issues.

What are you wanting to transfer back and forth? I have my Photos synced using Google Photos and all my other files using Google Drive so I just log in to those and pull what I need. It's faster than even using Android File Transfer.

I wonder if OS driver incompatibility is the issue? What OS are you running on the MacBook Pro?

Lion: 10.7.5. That's as high as I can go. It's nice and fast now, but the Apple geniuses thought Mountain Lion would be too much. On the other hand, Mountain Lion fixes a lot of problems in Lion, so If I can get a clean, free copy, I'd like to update.
