Connecting USB?

[Mikest]

So I'm trying to connect this bad boy to my Macbook Pro to transfer some files and it doesn't seem to be recognizing the phone. I plug the phone in and it says MTP-Connected and I get the USB icon in the notifications bar, but theres no option to mount the drive. What am I missing? Thanks.

I am having the same problem.

How can we add music?

Is it necessary to purchase a micro sd card?

On my PC the phone shows in the "My Computer" window as a device...SPH-D710 I think it said. Clicking on that opens a windows with "phone" and "card" as the two storage choices. I'm not a Mac guy...sorry.

I kept having the same problem but it seem to have worked itself out as It is connected as a usb now.

I've tried rebooting the phone and the macbook pro. Tried a different micro USB cable and then I tried a different USB port. Still no joy.

Just to add more info to the problem I'm running OSX 10.6.8, intel based mac. yada yada why!! :-X

I've had no luck with Snow Leopard and Lion is not supported

The plot thickens. Tried connecting to a friends Windows 7 64 bit machine. It recognized the phone but there was no way to eject the device safely.

It looks like an SD card is necessary to do USB transfer. I found Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> USB utilities. There's an option to "Connect storage to PC." It only works if an SD card is present.

You have to go to settings>applications> development > debugging. Enable it and its as good as gold.

Duh!! I knew that... It works. I was able to see the contents, labeled as NO NAME on my MacBook Pro running Lion.

GOLDEN!!!! Thank you SOOOO much, I don't know why I didn't think of this, but you just saved me a few hours of frustration. I've got so much crap on this SD card from my previous phone...it will be nice to empty it!

What am I missing? When I click on Settings, Application, there is no development listed.

under applications look for development....open it up and uncheck USB debugging....make sure you're doing this without the usb cable plugged into the phone.....then reconnect the USB cable and it should work properly after that.....

I have a Galaxy S3 and a Mac running OS X 10.8.1 and am able to sync media (music/photos), folders via the Missing Sync for Android. I have to connect the phone first and then launch Missing Sync and then it works fine with MTP.

I do not work for them. Sync Android with Outlook, iTunes, PC or Mac over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB
