Re: S3 won't connect via USB to my computer
Thank you much, after trying all of the above without success, I read your post and do some checking. Sure enough the cable I was using is for just charging. Found a cable from a previous phone that has a tag on it saying "Backup Assistance Plus, music, picture, documents, etc. and Connect your mobile device to your computer via USB cable." Yep it definitely works for me like a charm.
It sounds like you're using a "charge-only" cable (only 4 pins present) vs. a "data cable" (all 5 pins present).
If that's not the case then you haven't provided us enough information to go on.
