Putting music on nexus 4 (Mandatory credit card)

[bananaleigh]

Go to 'my computer' and selected 'nexus 4'. This should bring up all of the folders inside your phone. If you go to the music one you can drag and drop your music onto it. If 'nexus 4' doesn't show up go into settings on your phone, under storage. Select the top right three dots and select MTP. that should sort it all out

No, it means that google is intentionally using a method that they know macs don't support. Sort of like what they've been doing to windows phone with their services.

It does work with Android file transfer, I don't know what you mean? everything works with my mac.

correct i plug it in and nothing happens. so do i have to root the phone to put music directly on it? does rooting void then warranty?

PS it is a Mac

No use android file transfer. and then move the music to the music folder, I do't know why you guys are giving OP wrong info?

If you have a Nexus 4 and and a mac computer and want to transfer files (like a mass storage device) than a Mac users need to go to Android.com/filetransfer/ and install the filetransfer app onto their computer. Also on your nexus phone go to settings by swiping the top black bar (with the battery and wifi icons) downwards and select the little whit icon with the person surrounded by square dots, then choose "Storage", inside storage, select the three dots at the top right and make sure you have "MTP" ticked.

Once I transfered music to the music folder I fiddled around with my google play player and it showed up.
